AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize the acquisition of property in fee simple for the
Princess Anne Plaza North London Bridge Creek Pump Station Project, CIP 7-
089 and the acquisition of temporary and permanent easements, either by
agreement or condemnation
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: September 15, 2020
MEETING DATE: October 6, 2020
Background: The Princess Anne Plaza North London Bridge Creek Pump Station
Project, CIP 7-089 (the "Project") is for the construction of a tide gate, stormwater pump
station, and tide barriers along London Bridge Creek at the South Lynnhaven Road
crossing. The Project will improve stormwater management and relieve widespread tidal
and storm flooding of public and private structures and public streets and highways
throughout the Princess Anne Plaza and The Lakes neighborhoods. These
neighborhoods were among the hardest hit by flooding caused by Hurricane Matthew in
2016.
The Princess Anne Plaza area consists primarily of medium-density residential
neighborhoods, with some commercial development along major roads. The area has
experienced repeated flooding mainly due to its low-lying topography, tidal influence and
lack of stormwater storage. Most of the homes in the Project area were constructed in the
early 1960s to the early 1970s and are concrete slab on grade with finished floors less
than one foot above top of curb. The existing stormwater infrastructure is inadequate or
non-existent and will not protect these homes against the intense storms the region is
expected to experience with increased frequency.
A preliminary engineering analysis was completed in November 2019 and concluded that
a tide gate, barriers and a large pump station are required along North London Bridge
Creek in order to mitigate flooding in the Princess Anne Plaza area. The tide gate and
barriers will block the incoming tide to increase available storage capacity within the
system, and the pump station will drawdown water levels prior to a storm event to maintain
them below flood stage.
The Project includes a 1 ,400 cubic feet per second pump station, a 120-foot-wide Tide
Gate, and adjacent flood barriers. The Project is intended to mitigate flooding up to the
100-year storm event (equating to 9.5 inches of rain in 24 hours).
The Level of Service that has been adopted for the Princess Anne Plaza neighborhood
includes limiting peak flood stages to three (3) inches or less above the crown of the roads
for the 10-year design storm (i.e., street flooding, 5.6 inches in 24 hours) and preventing
structures from flooding for the 100-year design storm. Based on modeling, approximately
583 buildings will be mitigated from flooding during the 100-year storm and 6.9 miles of
roadway will be mitigated from flooding during the 10-year storm. However, there are 18
buildings that may flood during a 100-year storm and one mile of street flooding that may
still occur during a 10-year storm.
• Considerations: The Project will require property and easements from three privately
owned parcels in the area shown on the Location Map. Authority is requested to acquire
the necessary property and easements (temporary and permanent) by agreement and/or
condemnation.
The Project is expected to be completed in phases occurring over the next 10 years.
• Public Information: A Public Information Meeting was held on October 3, 2019.
Advertisement of a public hearing was placed in The Virginian-Pilot, Beacon, and public
notice will be provided via the normal City Council agenda process.
• Alternatives: Deny the request
• Recommendations: Approve the Ordinance
• Attachments: Ordinance and Location Map
Recommended Action: Approval

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Extend the Provisions of the Previously Adopted Ordinance to
Ensure Continuity of Government During the COVID-19 Disaster
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background: On March 12, 2020, Governor Northam declared a state of
emergency and disaster due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The next day, the City Manager
declared a local emergency due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In accordance with state
law, the City Council on March 31, 2020 adopted an ordinance to provide for the continuity
of government during the Pandemic ("ORD-36141"). That ordinance expires on
September 30, 2020, or upon the Governor's declaration that the emergency has ended,
whichever occurs earlier. The ordinance includes authorization for electronic or virtual
meetings of the City Council and its boards and commissions, as well as for other
meetings of the City, including public bid openings.
• Considerations: Because the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to threaten public
health, the Governor has not yet declared that the emergency has ended, and the duration
of the COVID-19 Pandemic is unknown. Although some public meetings of the City have
been held in person since the emergency was declared by employing the use of masks
and social distancing and by facilitating citizen participation in those meetings in person
or via electronic means, the need continues for certain meetings to be held virtually, and
that need may increase depending upon the extent to which the COVID-19 Pandemic
impacts the City in the coming months.
The attached ordinance extends the provisions of the previously adopted ordinance to
ensure the continuity of government during the disaster. This ordinance extends the
provisions of ORD-36141 until the earlier of either a declaration by the Governor that the
emergency is ended or six months from the date of the adoption of the ordinance.
• Public Information: Public Information will be coordinated through the normal
agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance and ORD-36141
Recommended Action: Approval
Submitting Department/Agency: Office of the City Manager

9 of Virginia;
10
11 WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, the City Manager, as Director of Emergency

17 enemy attack or other disaster. Such ordinance shall be limited in its effect to a period not
18 exceeding six months after any such enemy attack or disaster and shall provide for a
19 method of resumption of normal governmental authority by the end of the six-month
20 period (emphasis added)";
21
22 WHEREAS, because of the emergency, the City Council on March 31 , 2020
23 adopted an Ordinance to Ensure Continuity of Government During the COVID-19

29 as for other meetings, including public bid openings;
30
31 WHEREAS, ORD-36141 includes a sunset date of either September 30, 2020 or
32 upon declaration of the Governor that the emergency is ended, whichever occurs earlier;
33 and

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Amending the Due Date for Recommendations from the
Convention and Visitors Bureau Community Task Force
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background: On July 7, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing
the CVB Community Task Force to advise the City Council regarding the transitioning of
the Convention & Visitors Bureau to a new organizational structure. That resolution
required the task force to report back to the City Council with its recommendations on a
new organizational structure no later than the last City Council meeting in October.
Since the adoption of that resolution, the City Council has twice adopted additional
resolutions that added more members, and those new members were appointed by the
City Council during its September 1, 2020 meeting. Because the final appointments to
the task force were made recently, and because of the complexities of evaluating the
various organizational structure options, it is not feasible for the task force to complete its
work by the deadline set in the July resolution
• Considerations: This resolution requires the task force to report back to the City
Council with its recommendation on a new organizational structure no later than the first
City Council workshop meeting in January 2021.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendation: Adopt the resolution.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Renew a Permit Allowing ISC Medical Transport, LLC to Operate
in the City of Virginia Beach
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background: City Code Section 10.5-2 requires any organization that operates
an emergency medical services agency or any emergency medical services vehicle
within the City to obtain a permit from City Council. New permits are valid until June 30
of the following calendar year. After the initial year, such permits must be renewed by
City Council biannually.
• Considerations: A renewal application has been received and evaluated by the
Department of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for the operation of basic and
advanced life support by ISC Medical Transport, LLC, and EMS recommends renewal
of the permit. Due to an administrative error, this application was inadvertently excluded
from the set of renewal permits considered by the City Council on June 2, 2020.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Resolution of the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Authorizing the
Distribution of a Preliminary Official Statement and Other Actions in Connection with the
Issuance by the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, of Its Water and Sewer Revenue and
Refunding Bonds, Series of 2020
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background: In accordance with the City's Capital Improvement Program, the City
Council periodically authorizes the issuance of Water and Sewer Utility Revenue Bonds
to finance certain capital improvements for the water and sewer system. The
Department of Finance, in conjunction with the Department of Public Utilities, has
identified the need for such action and, with the Office of the City Attorney, has
developed a financing plan that includes water and sewer revenue bonds to take
advantage of favorable market rates. This sale will not exceed $50 million of new money
bonds, utilizing previous Council water and sewer revenue bond authorizations from
2013 through 2015.
• Considerations: The enclosed resolution provides for the issuance and sale of the
2020 Series of water and sewer revenue bonds. The resolution provides for the
distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement (POS) along with other necessary
actions. The resolution also amends the Master Water and Sewer Revenue Bond
Resolution to provide for the 2020 series of bonds and to allow the interest and principal
payments on each Series of Bonds and Parity Obligations to be paid on their due date,
rather than accrued by fractional monthly payments to the Fiscal Agent throughout the
year.
The City's consulting engineers, Arcadis, U.S., Inc. have prepared a Financial
Feasibility Report on the water and sewer system and have concluded that the existing
water and sewer rates and charges are sufficient to support the debt service costs on
the 2020 bonds. The bond sale is scheduled for October 14th. The overall interest rate
(true interest cost) for the combined series will not exceed 3.50% per year (taking into
account any original issue discount or premium). The final maturities will be no later
than the year 2045 for the new money bonds and 2035 for the refunding bonds and will
be sold at a price not less than 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The
results of the sale will be provided to the City Council. After today's Council action, no
further vote of the Council will be necessary.
• Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council
agenda process. Additionally, the resolution authorizes a distribution of the Preliminary
Official Statement for marketing purposes.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached resolution.

Continuing Disclosure Agreement; Draft Notice of Sale

immobilized in its custody. Beneficial owners of the Series 2020 Bonds will not receive physical
delivery of the Series 2020 Bonds. So long as DTC is acting as securities depository for the
Series 2020 Bonds, a book entry system shall be employed, evidencing ownership of the Series
2020 Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 or multiples thereof, with transfers of beneficial
ownership effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures
established by DTC and its participants. Interest on the Series 2020 Bonds shall be payable in

Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of

beneficial owners. The City and the Registrar shall not be responsible or liable for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing the records maintained by DTC, its participants or persons acting
through such participants.
In the event that(a) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the
Series 2020 Bonds by giving notice to the City and the Registrar discharging its responsibilities
hereunder, (b) the Registrar or the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its
duties or that continuation with DTC as securities depository is not in the best interest of the
4
City, or (c) the Registrar or the City determines that continuation of the book entry system of
evidencing ownership and transfer of ownership of the Series of 2020 Bonds is not in the best
interest of the City or the beneficial owners of the Series 2020 Bonds, the Registrar and the City
shall discontinue the book entry system with DTC. If the Registrar or the City fails to identify
another qualified securities depository to replace DTC, the Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver replacement bonds in the form of fully registered certificates to the beneficial owners or
to the DTC participants on behalf of beneficial owners, substantially in the form as set forth in
Appendix A or Appendix B, as applicable, with such variations, omissions or insertions as are
necessary or desirable in the delivery of replacement certificates in printed form. The Series
2020 Bonds would then be registrable and exchangeable as set forth in Section 204 of the Master
Resolution.
So long as DTC is the securities depository for the Series 2020 Bonds (a) it shall be the
registered owner of the Series 2020 Bonds, (b) transfers of ownership and exchanges shall be
effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures established
by DTC and its participants, and (c) references in this Twelfth Supplemental Resolution to
holders of the Series 2020 Bonds shall mean DTC or its nominee and shall not mean the
beneficial owners of the Series 2020 Bonds.

provided in the Master Resolution with the Prior Parity Bonds, any Bonds that may be issued
under the Master Resolution, any Parity Double Barrel Bonds that may be issued and any Parity
Debt Service Components that may be incurred, without preference, priority or distinction of any

the City on or after dates, if any, determined and agreed upon by the City Manager, in whole or
in part at any time at redemption prices equal to no greater than 100% of the principal amount of
the Series 2020 Bonds, together with any accrued interest to the redemption date.
Section 12.402 Mandatory Redemption.
The Series 2020 Bonds may be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to
maturity in years and amounts, upon payment of 100% of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed plus interest accrued to the redemption date, as may be determined by the City
Manager.
Section 12.403 Selection of Series 2020 Bonds for Redemption.
If less than all of the Series 2020 Bonds of a Series are called for redemption, the Series
2020 Bonds of a Series to be redeemed shall be selected in such manner as the City Manager or
the chief financial officer of the City may determine to be in the best interest of the City.
If less than all of the Series 2020 Bonds of a particular maturity are called for
redemption, the Series 2020 Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC or any successor
securities depository pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book entry system is
discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by lot in such manner as the Registrar at its
discretion may determine.
6
The portion of any Series 2020 Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of
$5,000 or some multiple thereof. In selecting Series 2020 Bonds for redemption, each Series
2020 Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Series 2020 Bonds which is
obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Series 2020 Bond by $5,000. If a portion of a
Series 2020 Bond shall be called for redemption, a new Series 2020 Bond in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued to the registered owner upon the
surrender thereof.
Section 12.404 Notice of Redemption.
(a) The Registrar shall send notice of the call for redemption identifying the Series
2020 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to
the redemption date, (1)by facsimile or electronic transmission, registered or certified mail or
overnight express delivery, to the holder of each Series 2020 Bond to be redeemed at his address
as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar, (2)by facsimile or electronic
transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, to all organizations
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as securities depositories, and (3) to the
Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system (established by the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board) or any other nationally recognized municipal securities information
repository designated as such by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) In the case of an optional redemption, the notice may state that (1) it is
conditioned upon the deposit of moneys, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect
the redemption, with an escrow agent no later than the redemption date or(2)the City retains the
right to rescind such notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date (in either case, a
"Conditional Redemption"), and such notice and optional redemption shall be of no effect if such
moneys are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded as described herein. Any Conditional
Redemption may be rescinded at any time prior to the redemption date, and the Registrar shall
give prompt notice of such rescission to the affected Series 2020 Bondholders. Any Series 2020
Bonds subject to Conditional Redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain
Outstanding, and the rescission shall not constitute an Event of Default. Further, in the case of a
Conditional Redemption, the failure of the City to make funds available on or before the
redemption date shall not constitute an Event of Default, and the Registrar shall give immediate
notice to all organizations registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as securities
depositories or the affected Series 2020 Bondholders that the redemption did not occur and that
the Series 2020 Bonds called for redemption and not so paid remain outstanding.

FEDERAL TAX PROVISIONS
Section 12.501 Limitation of Use of Proceeds.
The City covenants with the holders of the Series 2020 Bonds as follows:
(a) The City shall not take or omit to take any action or make any investment or use
of the proceeds of any Series 2020 Bonds (including failure to spend the same with due
7
diligence) the taking or omission of which would cause the Series 2020 Bonds of any Series to
be"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, including without limitation
participating in any issue of obligations that would cause the Series 2020 Bonds of any Series to
be part of an "issue" of obligations that are arbitrage bonds, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.148-10 or successor regulation, or otherwise cause interest on the Series
2020 Bonds of any Series to be includable in the gross income of the registered owners under
existing law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with any
provision of law that may require the City at any time to rebate to the United States of America
any part of the earnings derived from the investment of gross proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds.
(b) The City shall not permit the proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds or the facilities to
be financed with such proceeds to be used in any manner that would result in either (1) 5% or
more of such proceeds or the facilities being financed with such proceeds being considered as
having been used in any trade or business carried on by any person other than a governmental
unit as provided in Section 141(b) of the Code, (2) 5% or more of such proceeds or the facilities
being financed with such proceeds being used with respect to any "output facility" (other than a
facility for the furnishing of water) within the meaning of Section 141(b)(4) of the Code, or
(3) 5% or more of such proceeds being considered as having been used directly or indirectly to
make or finance loans to any person other than a governmental unit, as provided in
Section 141(c) of the Code.
(c) The City shall not take any other action that would adversely affect, and shall take
all action within its power necessary to maintain, the exclusion of interest on all Series 2020
Bonds from gross income for federal income taxation purposes; provided, however, that if the
City receives an opinion of Bond Counsel that compliance with any such covenant is not
required to prevent the interest on the Series 2020 Bonds from being includable in the gross
income of the registered owners thereof under existing law, the City need not comply with such
restriction.
Section 12.502 Rebate Requirement.
The City shall determine and pay, from any legally available source, the Rebate Amount,
if any, to the United States of America, as and when due, in accordance with the "rebate
requirement" described in Section 148(f) of the Code and retain records of all such
determinations until six years after payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds.
Section 12.503 Calculation and Payment of Rebate Amount.
(a) The City selects October 1 as the end of the bond year with respect to the Series
2020 Bonds pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-1.
(b) Within 30 days after the initial installment computation date, the last day of the
fifth bond year, unless such date is changed by the City prior to the date that any amount with
respect to the Series 2020 Bonds is paid or required to be paid to the United States of America as
required by Section 148 of the Code, and at least once every five years thereafter, the City shall
cause the Rebate Amount to be computed. Prior to any payment of the Rebate Amount to the
United States of America as required by Section 148 of the Code, such computation (the "Rebate
8
Amount Certificate") setting forth such Rebate Amount shall be prepared or approved by (1) a
person with experience in matters of governmental accounting for Federal income tax purposes
or(2) a bona fide arbitrage rebate calculation reporting service.
(c) Not later than 60 days after the initial installment computation date, the City shall
pay to the United States of America at least 90% of the Rebate Amount as set forth in the Rebate
Amount Certificate prepared with respect to such installment computation date. At least once on
or before 60 days after the installment computation date that is the fifth anniversary of the initial
installment computation date and on or before 60 days every fifth anniversary date thereafter
until final payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds, the City shall pay to the United States of
America not less than the amount, if any, by which 90% of the Rebate Amount set forth in the
most recent Rebate Amount Certificate exceeds the aggregate of all such payments theretofore
made to the United States of America pursuant to this Section. On or before 60 days after final
payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds, the City shall pay to the United States of America the
amount, if any, by which 100% of the Rebate Amount set forth in the Rebate Amount Certificate
with respect to the date of final payment in full of the Series 2020 Bonds exceeds the aggregate
of all payments theretofore made pursuant to this Section. All such payments shall be made by
the City from any legally available source.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, no such calculation
or payment shall be made if the City receives an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
(1) such payment is not required under the Code in order to prevent the Series 2020 Bonds from
becoming "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or (2) such payment
should be calculated and paid on some alternative basis under the Code, and the City complies
with such alternative basis.

accounts in fractional amounts on a monthly basis throughout the year, (ii) deposits to the
Renewal and Replacement Account will be made by July 31 of each Fiscal Year in the full

Year, rather than a fixed amount of$2,000,000 to be restored in fractional amounts over a twelve

Fiscal Year, rather than on the 25th day of the first full month after the City Council's approval

the August 15 following the end of each Fiscal Year, rather than on the 25th day of the last

The City reserves the right,after the award of the Bonds to the successful bidder,to increase or decrease,by
up to fifteen percent(15%)the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2020A Bonds and to increase or decrease by
up to fifteen percent(15%)the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2020B Bonds being offered hereby.Any such
increase or decrease in the principal amount of particular maturities of the Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B
Bonds will be communicated to the successful bidder by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Date of Sale. The dollar
amount bid for the principal of the Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds by the successful bidder will be
adjusted,as necessary,to reflect any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the applicable maturities of the
Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds so adjusted,but the interest rates specified by the successful bidder
for each maturity will not be altered. Such adjusted dollar amount bid will not change the successful bidder's
compensation per $1,000 of par amount of the Series 2020A Bonds and will not change the successful bidder's
compensation per$1,000 of par amount of the Series 2020B Bonds from that which would have resulted from the bid
submitted.The successful bidder may not withdraw its bid as a result of any change made within the foregoing limits.
Description of the Bonds;Book-Entry Only System
The Bonds will be issued pursuant to a Master Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Resolution adopted by
the City Council on February 11, 1992 (the"Master Resolution"), as previously supplemented and amended
and as supplemented and amended by a Twelfth Supplemental Resolution adopted by the City Council on
September 15,2020(the"Twelfth Supplemental Resolution" and together with the Master Resolution and all
previous supplements,collectively referred to herein as the"Resolution"). The Bonds will be issued by means of
a book-entry system with no distribution of physical bond certificates made to the public. One bond certificate for
each maturity will be issued to The Depository Trust Company,New York,New York("DTC"),or its nominee,and
immobilized in its custody. The book-entry system will evidence beneficial ownership of the Bonds in principal
amounts of$5,000 or multiples thereof,with transfers of beneficial ownership effected on the records of DTC and its
participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC and its participants.Bond certificates registered in
the name of Cede&Co.will be deposited with DTC.Interest on the Bonds will be paid semiannually on April 1 and
October 1,beginning April 1,2021,and principal on the Bonds will be paid annually on October 1,beginning October
1, 2021, to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to
beneficial owners by participants of DTC will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of
beneficial owners. The City will not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records
maintained by DTC,its participants or persons acting through such participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by
giving reasonable notice to the City.Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is
not obtained,bond certificates are required to be prepared,executed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor
securities depository).In that case,either a successor depository will be selected by the City or bond certificates will
be prepared,executed and delivered.
Optional Redemption
The Bonds that mature on and after October 1,2031,will be subject to redemption beginning October 1,2030,
in whole or in part at any time, at the option of the City,upon payment of the par amount of principal so redeemed
plus interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date.The Bonds that mature on and before October 1,2030 are not
subject to optional redemption.
Selection of Bonds for Redemption;Notice of Redemption
If less than all of the Bonds are called for redemption,the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's
Director of Finance in such a manner as he or she may determine to be in the best interest of the City.If less than all
of the Bonds of a particular maturity are called for redemption,the bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC or
any successor securities depository pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book-entry system is discontinued,
by the City Treasurer,who has been appointed the registrar(the"Registrar"),by lot in such manner as the Registrar
in its discretion may determine.In either case,each portion of the$5,000 principal amount is counted as one Bond for
such purpose.
The City will cause notice of the call for redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed
to be sent by the Trustee to the holders by facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express
delivery,not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date,to the registered owner thereof.Neither
the City nor the Trustee shall be responsible for mailing notice of redemption to anyone other than DTC or another
qualified securities depository or its nominee unless no qualified securities depository is the registered owner of the
Bonds.If no qualified securities depository is the registered owner of the Bonds,notice of redemption shall be mailed
to the registered owners of the Bonds.If a portion of a Bond is called for redemption,a new Bond in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof.
Security
The Bonds are limited obligations of the City,payable solely from Pledged Revenues of the System, subject
to the prior application thereof to the payment of Operating Expenses, and reserves therefor, as provided in the
Resolution. Neither the faith and credit of the Commonwealth of Virginia(the"Commonwealth")nor the faith and
credit of any county, city, town or other subdivision of the Commonwealth, including the City, are pledged to the
payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds. In the Resolution, the City covenants to fix, charge, collect and
revise its fees,rates and other charges for the use of and for the services furnished by the System in each Fiscal Year
so as to produce revenues sufficient to pay the cost of operation and maintenance,the cost of necessary replacements
and improvements and debt service on the Bonds and on any other indebtedness of the City secured by such revenues,
and to provide certain reserves therefor.
Use of Bond Proceeds
As described in more detail in the Preliminary Official Statement,the proceeds of the Bonds will be used to
(a) fmance acquisitions, improvements, extensions, additions and replacements to the System, (b) refund certain
outstanding principal amounts of indebtedness of the system,and(c)pay certain costs of issuance related to the Bonds.
Bidding Rules;Award of Bonds
Bidders may only bid to purchase all of the Bonds.Bidders are invited to name the rate or rates of interest per
annum which the Bonds are to bear in multiples of one-twentieth(1/20th)or one-eighth(1/8th)of one percent. Each
bidder must specify in its bid a single rate for each maturity of the Series 2020A Bonds and a single rate for each
maturity of the Series 2020B Bonds. For the Series 2020A Bonds,any number of rates may be named,provided that
(a)no interest rate for any maturity may be lower than 3.00% and(b)no interest rate for any maturity may exceed
5.00%. For the Series 2020B Bonds, any number of rates may be named, provided that(a) no interest rate for any
maturity may be lower than 3.00%and(b)no interest rate for any maturity may exceed 5.00%. [In no event shall the
"true"interest cost of the Bonds exceed[3.50%],calculated as described in the paragraph below].
No bid for less than 100%of par value of the principal amount of the Series 2020A Bonds and less than 100%
of par value of the principal amount of the Series 2020B Bonds(computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve
30-day months)shall be considered.No bond of any maturity may be reoffered at a price less than 95%of the principal
amount of such bond.The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids(regardless of the interest rate bid),to reject
any bid not complying with this Official Notice of Sale and, so far as permitted by law,to waive any irregularity or
informality with respect to any bid or the bidding process. Each bid must be unconditional.
Unless all bids are rejected,the Bonds will be awarded to the bidder complying with the terms of this Official
Notice of Sale and submitting a bid which provides the lowest"true"interest cost to the City.True interest cost shall
be determined for each bid by doubling the semiannual interest rate,compounded semiannually,necessary to discount
the debt service payments from the payment dates to the Dated Date and to the aggregate price bid for the Bonds. If
more than one bid offers the same lowest true interest cost,the successful bid will be selected by the City Manager by
lot.
Bids for the Bonds shall not be conditioned upon obtaining insurance or any other credit enhancement. If a
bidder proposes to obtain a policy of municipal bond insurance or any other credit enhancement,any such purchase
of insurance or commitment therefor shall be at the sole option and expense of the bidder, and the bidder must pay
any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds as a result of such insurance or commitment.Any failure by the bidder
to obtain such a policy of insurance shall not in any way relieve such bidder of its contractual obligations arising from
the acceptance of its bid for the purchase of the Bonds.
As promptly as reasonably possible after the bids are received,the City will notify the bidder to whom the Bonds
will be awarded, if and when such award is made. Such bidder, upon such notice, shall advise the City of the initial
reoffering prices or yields to the public of each maturity of the Bonds. All bids will remain firm until the award of the
Bonds.An award of the Bonds,if made,will be made by the City Manager by the City by 5:00 p.m.,Eastern Time,on
the Date of Sale.
Good Faith Deposit
The successful bidder for the Bonds is required to submit a Good Faith Deposit in the amount of$
payable to the order of the City of Virginia Beach in the form of a wire transfer in federal funds,as instructed by the
City's Financial Advisor.The successful bidder must submit the Good Faith Deposit not later than 4:00 P.M.,Eastern
Time,on the Date of Sale.The successful bidder shall provide the federal funds reference number upon request of the
City. If the successful bidder fails to comply with the terms of its bid,the Good Faith Deposit shall be retained by the
City as full liquidated damages; otherwise, the amount thereof will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds at
the time of delivery. No interest on the Good Faith Deposit will accrue to the successful bidder. Wiring instructions
for the Good Faith Deposit may be obtained from Andrew T. Oliver, Debt and Financial Services Administrator
(telephone(757)385-8228;email atoliver@vbgov.com).
Delivery of the Bonds
The Bonds will be delivered at the expense of the City,in New York,New York,through the facilities of DTC
on or about October 28,2020.
Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, the City will furnish to the successful bidder without cost(a)a
certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds,signed by the appropriate City officials and stating that no litigation
of any kind is then pending or,to the best of their information,knowledge and belief,threatened against the City to
restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds and(b) certificates dated the date of delivery of the Bonds,
stating that the descriptions and statements in the Official Statement (except in the sections entitled "Book-Entry
System"and"Tax Exemption"and in the columns"Price/Yield"and"CUSIP No."on the inside cover),on the date
of the Official Statement and on the date of delivery of the Bonds,were and are true and correct in all material respects,
did not and do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make such descriptions and statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made,not misleading. Such certificates will also state,however,that such City officials did not independently verify
the information indicated in the Official Statement as having been obtained or derived from sources other than the
City and its officers but they have no reason to believe that such information is notaccurate.
Issue Price Determination
The City expects and intends that the bid for the Bonds will satisfy the federal tax requirements for a qualified
competitive sale of bonds,including,among other things,receipt of bids for the Bonds from at least three underwriters,
who have established industry reputations for underwriting new issuances of municipal bonds (a "Qualified
Competitive Bid").The City will advise the successful bidder as promptly as possible after the bids are opened whether
the bid constitutes a Qualified Competitive Bid, or, in the alternative, a bid that fails to satisfy such requirements(a
"Nonqualified Competitive Bid").
If the bid is a Qualified Competitive Bid,as promptly as possible after the bids are opened,the City will notify
the successful bidder, and such bidder,upon such notice, shall advise the City within 30 minutes of the reasonably
expected initial offering price to the public of each maturity of the Bonds. In addition, the winning bidder shall be
required to provide to the City information to establish the initial expected offering price for each maturity of the
Bonds for federal income tax purposes by completing a certificate acceptable to Bond Counsel to the City,on or before
the date of issuance of the Bonds,substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A to the Official Notice of Sale,with
appropriate completions,amendments and attachments.
If the bid is a Nonqualified Competitive Bid,as promptly as possible after the bids are opened,the City will
notify the successful bidder, and such bidder,upon such notice,shall advise the City within 30 minutes of the initial
sale price or initial offering price to the public,as applicable,of each maturity of the Bonds. In addition,the winning
bidder shall be required to provide to the City information and assurances to establish the initial sale price or the initial
offering price to the public, as applicable, for each maturity of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes by
completing a certification acceptable to Bond Counsel in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B to the Official
Notice of Sale, with appropriate completions, omissions and attachments. It is noted that procedures for a
Nonqualified Competitive Bid may require the winning bidder and,if applicable,other underwriters of the Bonds,to
hold the initial offering prices for certain maturities of the Bonds for up to five business days after the sale date, as
further specified in the form of such certification.

respect to the Bonds as required by MSRB Rule G-34. The successful bidder will be responsible for the cost of
assignment of such CUSIP numbers. It is anticipated that CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds,but the failure
to print such numbers on any Bond or any error with respect thereto shall not constitute cause for a failure or refusal
by the successful bidder to accept delivery of and make payment for the Bonds.
Official Statement
The City will furnish the successful bidder at the expense of the City a reasonable number of copies of the fmal
Official Statement by the earlier of the closing date and seven business days from the date of the award of the Bonds,
as specified in Rule 15c2-12,as amended(the"Rule"),of the Securities and Exchange Commission(the"SEC")and
the rules of the MSRB provided that minor delays in furnishing such fmal Official Statement will not be a basis for
failure to pay for and accept delivery of the Bonds.Additional copies will be made available at the successful bidder's
request and expense. The City assumes no responsibility or obligation for the distribution or delivery of the Official
Statement to anyone other than the successful bidder.
The City expects the successful bidder to deliver copies of such Official Statement in fmal form(the "Final
Official Statement")to persons to whom such bidder initially sells the Bonds and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board("MSRB")via the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access System ("EMMA"). The successful bidder will
be required to acknowledge receipt of such Final Official Statement, to certify that it has made delivery of the Final
Official Statement to the MSRB via EMMA,to acknowledge that the City expects the successful bidder to deliver copies
of such Final Official Statement to persons to whom such bidder initially sells the Bonds and to certify that the Bonds
will only be offered pursuant to the Final Official Statement and only in states where the offer is legal. The successful
bidder shall notify the City as soon as practicable of(1) the date which is the end of the underwriting period (such
"underwriting period" is described in the Rule), and(2)the date of filing the Official Statement with the MSRB or its
designee.

syndicate as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Official Statement to each participating underwriter.

Federal and State Securities Laws

opinion of Butler Snow LLP,insofar as it concerns such exclusion.

In addition to this provision of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance, funds that are
approved for a specific purchase or contract, but remain unobligated or unencumbered
at the end of the year, may be requested by departments to be carried forward to the next
fiscal year. Situations that might necessitate funds being carried forward include the
following:
• Funding was approved in FY 2019-20 to purchase a piece of equipment or
renovate a facility, but due to extenuating circumstances, the department did not
finalize the purchase or complete the project prior to the end of the fiscal year;
• Funds were approved by the City Council by a budget amendment or the City
Manager authorized transfer late in the fiscal year, and the expenditure could not
be completed prior to the end of the fiscal year; and
• Funds provided for a specific grant program or other restricted purpose were
unused during the fiscal year and are being carried forward to combine with grant
funds in the new fiscal year.
Funds that are approved to be carried forward are then re-appropriated from the fund
balance of their respective funds into the current fiscal year. The Department of Budget
and Management Services reviews all departmental carry forward requests to confirm
that the request meets the eligibility requirements and also to ensure that there is
sufficient fund balance to meet the City Council's fund balance policy. Finance includes
a carry forward estimate in their preliminary un-audited financial results. The unaudited
FY 2019-20 financials, as presented on August 25th, estimate $115.7 million in
expenditures savings to occur within the General Fund. This General Fund carry forward
requests the use of $1.3 million of those savings and was included as a part of that
presentation as a reserve in the 13.5°A) General Fund Fund Balance projection.
• Considerations: Criteria applied by Budget and Management Services to
determine whether or not funds are eligible to be carried over from one fiscal year to the
next are as follows:
• The funds requested to be carried over must remain in the same account string in
the new fiscal year as they were in the prior fiscal year;
• Situations outside of the control of the department prevented the expenditure of
funds for the uses for which they were originally budgeted;
• Funds that are intended for a specific timeframe, such as contracted manpower or
training, are not eligible for consideration;
• The purpose for which funds are requested to be carried forward are not also
budgeted in the department in the new fiscal year;
• Funds can only be carried forward to the new fiscal year for the same purpose that
they were specifically budgeted in the previous fiscal year;
• Funding is available in the legal appropriation unit (as identified in the Operating
Budget ordinance) or department to be carried over to the next fiscal year; and
• The item(s) for which funding is requested to be carried over must be critical to the
mission of a program or service offered by the City.
The total amount of this request is $2,253,411 . Of that amount, $1 ,287,299 is for the
General Fund; $45,100 DEA Federal & State Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund;
$249,118 Federal Section 8 Program Special Revenue Fund; $9,417 Parks & Recreation

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Funds to Provide an Interest-Free Loan to the
Princess Anne Court House Volunteer Rescue Squad for the Purchase of a New
Ambulance
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background: The ten volunteer rescue squads in the City of Virginia Beach
provide invaluable services to our community. The volunteer rescue squads own all the
ambulances providing emergency medical transportation services in the City of Virginia
Beach. They receive no direct tax funding for their operating costs to provide these
services and do not charge patients for the medical treatment and/or transportation
rendered. The primary source of revenue for the volunteer rescue squads is through their
individual squad fund drives, conducted annually.
Depending on the availability of funds, the City provides some support costs for the rescue
squads, such as providing standard equipment for the ambulances, physical facilities and
spaces to house and support equipment and personnel, paying utility bills for facilities
housing a rescue squad, providing or paying for property and liability insurance for
facilities used to operate the volunteer emergency medical transport, providing or paying
for fuel for ambulances, zone cars and other emergency service vehicles, providing or
paying for insurance covering ambulances and other emergency service and support
vehicles owned by the rescue squads, providing adequate staff and budget for volunteer
EMS recruitment and retention programs, providing initial and continued training and
education of volunteers, and providing shift supervision.
Also, the City of Virginia Beach has historically provided short term, no interest loans to
the volunteer rescue squads servicing our citizens. The majority of these loans have been
to provide initial capital for the acquisition of replacement ambulances.
This agenda item is for a request to provide a loan to the Princess Anne Court House
Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire Department (PACHVRS). The PACHVRS requests
an interest-free loan from the City for a new ambulance to replace one that was stolen
and crashed by an intoxicated individual in April 2018. The squad has been operating a
diminished fleet since that incident.
• Considerations: This agenda request includes a letter from PACHVRS
requesting the City to provide this loan. If approved by the Council, the loan is $90,000
and is payable in five annual payments of $18,000 each. The first payment is due on
September 30, 2021.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda notification process.
• Alternatives: The alternative to this request is for the squad to pursue a business
loan from a private financial institution, which will be costlier.
■ Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

On behalf of myself and the Board of Directors, I would like to formally request a no interest
loan from the City of Virginia Beach.
As you may be aware, The Princess Anne Courthouse Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire
Department Inc. has an immediate need to replace the ambulance that was stolen and
subsequently totaled in April of 2018. As a result of the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, we
have lost two significant sources of income this year. We initially applied for an Emergency
Hardship grant in May of 2019 which was denied because it didn't meet the requirements of
"a man-made catastrophe". We then applied for an 80/20 RSAF grant during the fall 2019
cycle which would have amounted to $215,000. During this cycle the FARC limited the
value of ambulances at $250,000 (which had never been done before) and
then awarded PACHVRS a 50/50 grant that amounted to $125,000. We received very little
money after the loss of the unit ($45,000 from our supplemental insurance and $6,000
from CoVB Risk Management). We are requesting the no interest loan to (combined with
the monies recovered and the RSAF grant) finalize the purchase of the new unit. We
respectfully request a no interest loan in the amount $90,000 to be repaid in equal
installments over 5 years.
If you need any further information or other questions, please feel free to contact me.
Respectfully,
Chief Christopher J. aly

Kind Grant Match
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background: In §18.2-254.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Virginia General
Assembly "recognized that there is a critical need in the Commonwealth for effective
treatment programs that reduce the incidence of drug use, drug addiction, family
separation due to parental substance abuse, and drug related crimes." To address this
need, the General Assembly established Drug Treatment Courts.
The Supreme Court of Virginia, Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) is responsible
for distribution of state funds to local governments for operations of Drug Treatment
Courts. One such method for funding these courts is the Supreme Court of Virginia
Drug Treatment Court Docket Grant. This grant is the result of a sustainability strategy
designed to provide long-term funding for Virginia Drug Treatment Court Dockets.
On August 19, 2020, the Virginia Beach Adult Drug Treatment Court (VBADTC)
program received notification from OES that a grant award in the amount of $24,956 in
state funds was approved for Fiscal Year 2021. Administration of this grant will be
through the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney's Office. These funds will primarily
be used to purchase drug and alcohol testing supplies and will also be used to purchase
other supplies necessary to provide continuum of care for VBADTC program
participants.
• Considerations: A 25% local match is required for this grant. The match may be
made with in-kind resources, and the Department of Human Services is willing and able
to provide the in-kind match.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinances Approving Application of James T. Cromwell, Esq., Receiver for
Shore Realty Corporation, a Defunct Corporation, for the Closure of
Approximately 5,238 Total Sq. Ft. of Portions of 2 Unimproved Rights-of-Way
Adjacent to Properties Along 75th and 76th Streets West of Atlantic Avenue
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background:
James T. Cromwell, Esq., Receiver for Shore Realty Corporation, a defunct
corporation ("Applicant"), requested the closure of approximately 5,238 sq. ft. of
portions of 2 unimproved rights-of-way adjacent to 13 residential properties located
adjacent to 75th and 76th Streets west of Atlantic Avenue (the "Rights-of-Way").
The underlying fee in the Rights-of-Way remained vested in Shore Realty
Corporation. The owners of the adjacent residential properties joined together to
petition the Court to request that a Receiver be appointed for the purpose of
making application for closure of the Rights-of-Way and to convey the underlying
fee to the respective adjacent lot owners.
On May 21, 2020, an Order was entered appointing James T. Cromwell, Esq., as
Receiver for Shore Realty Corporation, and on June 18, 2020, an Order was
entered approving the conveyance of the fee interest in the Rights-of-Way to each
of the respective adjacent property owners.
• Considerations:
The purpose of the proposed closure is to incorporate each portion of the closed
Rights-of-Way into the 13 adjoining residential properties, as more specifically
shown on Exhibit A attached to each of the 13 attached Ordinances. Each property
owner will be responsible for resubdividing their respective property pursuant to
Condition 2 below; therefore, a separate Ordinance has been prepared for each
property owner.
The Viewers determined that the closure of the Rights-of-Way, with conditions set
forth below, will not result in a public inconvenience. There is no known opposition
to the request.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 8-0, to recommend approval of this request to the
City Council with the following conditions:
James T. Cromwell, Esq.
Page 2 of 2
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
2. The Applicant, or the Applicant's successors or assigns, shall resubdivide the
property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed areas into the
adjoining parcel(s). The resubdivision plat or plats must be submitted and
approved for recordation prior to the final street closure approval. Said plat or
plats shall include the dedication of a public drainage easement over the Right-
of-Way to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of the Department
of Public Works, and the City Attorney's Office, which easement shall include
a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicant, or the Applicant's successors or assigns, shall verify that no
private utilities exist within the Rights-of-Way proposed for the closure. If private
utitlities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company must be
provided.
4. Closure of the Rights-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat or plats are not
approved for recordation within one year of the City Council approval, said
approval shall be null and void.

approximately 3,812 square feet. Two other smaller lanes are also proposed to be closed with this request, a 15-foot
by 95-foot portion of an unimproved alley(1,425 square feet) north from 75th Street (Lane A), and all of the 15-foot
by 85-foot unimproved section of lane (1,275 square feet)south from 75th Street (Lane B). The total 6,512 square

Evaluation & Recommendation
As required by City Code, a Viewers' Meeting was held on May 14, 2020,that included City Staff from the Departments
of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning and Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney,to consider
these requests. The Viewers determined that the proposed closures will not result in a public inconvenience;therefore,
closure of these portions of the rights-of-way are deemed acceptable.
On June 23, 1975, City Council approved closure of the 10-foot wide alley running east to west in the block on the south
side of 75th Street, east of Atlantic Avenue. Also, City Council approved closure of a portion of the 15-foot wide lane
south of 75th Street on January 17, 1983. These types of closures have been done in this area before and has not
resulted in any public inconvenience.
James T. Cromwell, Esq.
Agenda Items 2 & 3
Page 2
The 10-foot wide by 400-foot long unimproved alley running east to west between 75th &76t'Street are the rear yards
for the adjoining property owners requesting this change.The unimproved alleys and lanes does not provide pedestrian
or vehicular access to any waterway, recreation area,or residence;therefore, no vehicular or pedestrian connectivity
would be lost with these closure requests.There are no public utilities within these alleys and lanes, as indicated by the
Department of Pubilc Utiltiies. However,the Department of Public Works has specified a need for a drainage easement
over the proposed closed areas to be included on the resubdivision plats, as recommended in Condition 3.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of the proposed Street Closures subject to the
conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions for Items 2 & 3
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase
price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,"approved by City Council. Copies of the policy are available in the Planning
Department.
2. The applicant, or the applicant's successors or assigns, shall resubdivide the properties and vacate internal lot lines
to incorporate the closed areas into the adjoining parcels.The resubdivision plats must be submitted and approved
for recordation prior to the final street closure approval. Said plats shall include the dedication of a public drainage
easement over the closed portions of the alley or lanes to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of the
Department of Public Works, and the City Attorney's Office,which easement shall include a right of reasonable
ingress and egress.
3. The applicant or the applicant's successors or assigns shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way
proposed for the closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company, must be
provided.
4. Closure of the rights-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above stated conditions within 365 days
of approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plats are not approved
for recordation within one year of the City Council vote to close the rights-of-way this approval shall be considered
null and void.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates these sites as being in the Suburban Area, Suburban Focus Area (SFA) 7—North
Beach Area. North Beach, located on both sides of the Atlantic Avenue from 42"d Street to 89th Street, is characterized by
a compact arrangement of single-family and duplex units with much of the land zoned Residential Resort (R-5R).
Moreover,the North Beach area is characterized by a relatively high density of single-family/duplex housing, high
impervious surface coverage and problematic topographic conditions, all of which combine to create recurring
James T. Cromwell, Esq.
Agenda Items 2 &3
Page 3
stormwater drainage problems. Recommendations for North Beach include parcel consolidation, density stabilization
and the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs)for stormwater control. Improvement and reconstruction should use
porous materials for driveways, walkways and other similar surfaces,where feasible, to achieve a net reduction of
impervious coverage. Attractive and high quality materials capable of withstanding severe weather events should be
used. (p.3-24)
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Atlantic Ocean watershed. There does not appear to be significant natural or cultural resources
associated with the site.
Public Utility Impacts
Water&Sewer
There are no City water or sewer services within the limits of the proposed areas.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinances Approving Application of James T. Cromwell, Esq., Receiver for
Shore Realty Corporation, a Defunct Corporation, for the Closure of
Approximately 1,275 Total Sq. Ft. of an Improved Portion of a 15' Right-of-Way
Adjacent to Properties on the South Side of 75th Street and the West Side of
Atlantic Avenue
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
James T. Cromwell, Esq., Receiver for Shore Realty Corporation, a defunct
corporation ("Applicant"), requested the closure of approximately 1,275 sq. ft. of
the remaining improved 15' right-of-way adjacent to 2 residential properties located
adjacent to the south side of 75th Street and the west side of Atlantic Avenue (the
"Right-of-Way"). The underlying fee in the Right-of-Way remained vested in Shore
Realty Corporation. The owners of the adjacent residential properties joined
together to petition the Court to request that a Receiver be appointed for the
purpose of making application for closure of the Right-of-Way and to convey the
underlying fee to the respective adjacent lot owners.
On May 21, 2020, an Order was entered appointing James T. Cromwell, Esq., as
Receiver for Shore Realty Corporation, and on June 18, 2020, an Order was
entered approving the conveyance of the fee interest in the Right-of-Way to each
of the respective adjacent property owners.
• Considerations:
The purpose of the proposed closure is to incorporate each portion of the closed
Right-of-Way into the 2 adjoining residential properties, as more specifically shown
on the Exhibit A attached to each of the 2 Ordinances. Each property owner will
be responsible for resubdividing their respective property pursuant to Condition 2
below; therefore, a separate Ordinance has been prepared for each property
owner.
The southern portion of the 15' Right-of-Way in this block was closed on January
17, 1983 and the 10' Right-of-Way in this block was closed on June 23, 1975.
The Viewers determined that the closure of the Right-of-Way, with conditions set
forth below, will not result in a public inconvenience. There is no known opposition
to the request.
James T. Cromwell, Esq.

• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 8-0, to recommend approval of this request to the
City Council with the following conditions:
1 . The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
2. The Applicant, or the Applicant's successors or assigns, shall resubdivide the
property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed areas into the
adjoining parcel(s). The resubdivision plat or plats must be submitted and
approved for recordation prior to the final street closure approval. Said plat or
plats shall include the dedication of a public drainage easement over the Right-
of-Way to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of the Department
of Public Works, and the City Attorney's Office, which easement shall include
a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicant, or the Applicant's successors or assigns, shall verify that no
private utilities exist within the Right-of-Way proposed for the closure. If private
utitlities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company must be
provided.
4. Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat or plats are not
approved for recordation within one year of the City Council approval, said
approval shall be null and void.

these requests.The Viewers determined that the proposed closures will not result in a public inconvenience;therefore,
closure of these portions of the rights-of-way are deemed acceptable.
On June 23, 1975,City Council approved closure of the 10-foot wide alley running east to west in the block on the south
side of 75th Street,east of Atlantic Avenue. Also,City Council approved closure of a portion of the 15-foot wide lane
south of 75th Street on January 17, 1983.These types of closures have been done in this area before and has not
resulted in any public inconvenience.

The 10-foot wide by 400-foot long unimproved alley running east to west between 75th&76th Street are the rear yards
for the adjoining property owners requesting this change.The unimproved alleys and lanes does not provide pedestrian
or vehicular access to any waterway, recreation area,or residence;therefore, no vehicular or pedestrian connectivity
would be lost with these closure requests.There are no public utilities within these alleys and lanes, as indicated by the
Department of Public Utiltiies. However,the Department of Public Works has specified a need for a drainage easement
over the proposed closed areas to be included on the resubdivision plats,as recommended in Condition 3.
Based on the considerations above,Staff recommends approval of the proposed Street Closures subject to the
conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions for Items 2 & 3
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase
price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the"Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,"approved by City Council. Copies of the policy are available in the Planning
Department.
2. The applicant, or the applicant's successors or assigns,shall resubdivide the properties and vacate internal lot lines
to incorporate the closed areas into the adjoining parcels.The resubdivision plats must be submitted and approved
for recordation prior to the final street closure approval. Said plats shall include the dedication of a public drainage
easement over the closed portions of the alley or lanes to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of the
Department of Public Works,and the City Attorney's Office,which easement shall include a right of reasonable
ingress and egress.
3. The applicant or the applicant's successors or assigns shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way
proposed for the closure. If private utilities do exist,easements satisfactory to the utility company, must be
provided.
4. Closure of the rights-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above stated conditions within 365 days
of approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plats are not approved
for recordation within one year of the City Council vote to close the rights-of-way this approval shall be considered
null and void.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates these sites as being in the Suburban Area,Suburban Focus Area (SFA)7—North
Beach Area. North Beach, located on both sides of the Atlantic Avenue from 42"d Street to 89th Street, is characterized by
a compact arrangement of single-family and duplex units with much of the land zoned Residential Resort (R-5R).
Moreover,the North Beach area is characterized by a relatively high density of single-family/duplex housing, high
impervious surface coverage and problematic topographic conditions, all of which combine to create recurring
James T. Cromwell, Esq.
Agenda Items 2 &3
Page 3
stormwater drainage problems. Recommendations for North Beach include parcel consolidation, density stabilization
and the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs)for stormwater control. Improvement and reconstruction should use
porous materials for driveways,walkways and other similar surfaces,where feasible,to achieve a net reduction of
impervious coverage.Attractive and high quality materials capable of withstanding severe weather events should be
used. (p.3-24)
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Atlantic Ocean watershed.There does not appear to be significant natural or cultural resources
associated with the site.
Public Utility Impacts
Water&Sewer
There are no City water or sewer services within the limits of the proposed areas.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: BONNEY ROAD VB, LLC [Applicant and Owner] Modification of Conditions
(Motor Vehicle Sales & Service, Automobile Repair Garage) for property
located at 3825 Bonney Road (GPIN 1487330721), COUNCIL DISTRICT —
LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
In 2016, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for the auto sales and
repair operation. Subsequently in 2017, a Modification of Conditions and a Street
Closure was also granted in order to incorporate additional property (right-of-way)
into the site. The applicant is now seeking a second Modification of Conditions,
albeit after-the-fact, for a change to the layout to allow a prefabricated metal
building that is used for detaling and cleaning of motor vehicles. Upon the property
owner's return from being out of town for an extended period of time, he is seeking
a correction to the unpermitted installation of the building. The property owner
immediately contacted Staff and consequently submitted the Modification of
Conditions application.
• Considerations:
The building does meet the minimum required building setbacks. The exterior
building materials and color matches the existing auto-related buildings on the
property. Plant material exists on three sides of the building providing a screen
along the right-of-way and residential properties to the south. While the use is not
consistent with the long-term vision for the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area, it is
an acceptable "interim use" until such time as market forces prompt redevelopment
of the property with a use in harmony with the Plan. Based on a narrative provided
by the applicant's engineer, Staff has concluded that the building will not adversely
impact the stormwater system as designed and no modifications to the approved
site plan will be necessary. The recommended conditions ensure that the building
will be properly permitted while preserving the conditions associated with past
approvals. 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 August 12, 2020, the Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent
Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0, to recommend approval of
this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• In 2017, City Council approved a Modification of Conditions for Motor Vehicle Sales and Service and an Automobile
Repair Garage on this site as well as a Street Closure for a portion of the adjacent right-of-way that was incorporated
into this site.
• A 24-foot by 24-foot metal building (576 square feet)at the back of the property was installed for the purpose of
interior detailing and exterior cleaning of motor vehicles without the benefit of a building permit or modification to
the Conditional Use Permit.The owner realized this oversight made by the manager of the business and contacted
Staff.The first step to correct this mistake is the submission of the Modification of Conditions application.
• The two-car garage structure is a prefabricated metal structure that features two garage doors and a gable roof.
The building sits directly on the asphalt parking lot area and is anchored around the base of the structure as
required by the Building Code. The applicant will apply for a building permit after review of the application by the
Planning Commission and City Council.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request for a Modification of the Conditional Use Permit for Auto Sales and Service and Automobile Repair Garage
to incorporate the 576 square foot garage building into the existing operation for interior and exterior auto detailing is
acceptable. The building, site and landscaping has been improved to reflect the approved plan for the auto use on the
site. The garage building meets the building setbacks of zero feet.As the building is finished in a neutral white color,
placed behind the vehicle display area at the rear of the site, and surrounded by parking lot landscaping on three sides,
it blends in with the auto use and is not easily noticed from the right-of-way or adjacent properties.
Although the auto sales,service and repair uses are not consistent with the long-term vision outlined in the Rosemont
SGA Plan, redevelopment of this parcel into the envisioned transit-oriented residential village is not imminent. The
small scale of this operation in comparison to the massive auto sales establishment to the east and south supports an
interim use of this nature.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: BONNEY G. BRIGHT SAND CO. [Applicant] BONNEY G. BRIGHT [Property
Owner] Modification of Conditions (Borrow Pit) for the property located at
200 Princess Anne Road (GPINs 2316698832, 231696801, 2317621327,
2317723259, 2317612520, & 2317801537), COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS
ANNE
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background:
Excavation of sand has been an ongoing operation on the property since the
1970's. The current Conditional Use Permit has an expiration date of 2020. As the
material has not been excavated as quickly as anticipated, the applicant is seeking
a Modification of Conditions to allow operations to continue for an additional 10
years to 2030. No other changes are proposed to the operations. Access to the
site will continue to be from North Carolina, just south of the boundary between the
states.
• Considerations:
The extension of time will allow the operation to continue for another 10 years,
permitting the complete extraction of marketable material and restoration of the
site. There is no plan to redevelop the site as part of the restoration. Ultimately,
the sand pits will transition into lakes and the surrounding properties will be
cultivated. The borrow pit has been operating without incidence and in accordance
with the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy's regulations,
according to that agency. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as
Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report. There were two
speakers at the Planning Commission public hearing who spoke in opposition to
the request. These speakers included an adjacent property owner and their
attorney. Concerns noted by the speakers were issues related to flooding, well
contamination, and traffic. In addition, one speaker submitted a letter of
opposition.
In response to concerns raised about well contamination, the applicant states that
there are 12 monitoring wells on the site monitored on a quarterly basis by an
independent consultant, AH Environmental Consultants, that reports to the City
Public Works Department. The monitoring wells are located at varying depths and
provide a cross section of the vertical and horizontal movement of water within
aquifers in the surrounding area. Thus far, there is no indication of any saltwater
intrusion as a result of the mining activity on site.
Bonney G. Bright Sand Co.

■ Recommendations:
On August 12, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 8-0.
1. All of the conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit approvals of
November 28, 2000, February 14, 2006, and February 9, 2010, shall remain in
effect, except Condition 20, which is replaced below.
2. Extension of time for operations is for a ten-year period, ending in June 2030,
to include restoration of the property.
3. When the mining is complete, the applicant will redevelop the sides of the pit
to a 3:1 slope within six months as depicted on the submitted plan for the
borrow pit entitled "Reclamation Plan", dated October 3, 2007, revised
September 10, 2009, prepared by Gallup Surveyors & Engineers. Said plan
has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in
the Planning Department.
4. Activities on the site shall meet all the requirements identified by the Virginia
Department of Mines Minerals and Energy.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• Excavation of sand has been an ongoing operation on the property since the 1970's. A Conditional Use Permit
for a 23.4 acre borrow pit was approved for the site on December 18, 1989. Subsequent approvals, most recently
February 9, 2010,expanded the operation to a total of 156.64 acres. At the time of that approval, it was
expected that ongoing mining would continue until June 2019,with restoration of the site to be completed by
June 2020.
• At this time,the applicant is seeking a Modification of Conditions to permit the operations to continue for
another 10 years,to June 2030. This would allow for the complete extraction of marketable material from the
mine,the reprocessing of overburden material into a marketable product, and restoration of the site. There is
no plan to redevelop the site as part of the restoration. The sand pits will be turned into lakes with a 3-to-1
slope,and surrounding properties will be cultivated.
• As currently operated,the on-site operations will continue to be between the hours of 7:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. No work is performed on Sundays.
• Princess Anne Road is the main haul road, and access to the site is from Currituck County, North Carolina,just
south of the boundary line between the states.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The requested Modification of Conditions for an extension of time to permit the operations to continue for another 10
years is recommended for approval. This extension of time to June 2030 will allow for the complete extraction of
marketable material from the mine, the reprocessing of overburden material into a marketable product, and restoration
of the site. There is no plan to redevelop the site as part of the restoration. The sand pits will be turned into lakes with
a 3-to-1 slope, and surrounding properties will be cultivated.

Agenda Item 6
Pane 2
The borrow pit has been operating without incidence and in accordance with the Virginia Department of Mines,
Minerals and Energy's regulations, per discussions with this agency. Based on these findings and discussion above,Staff
recommends approval of the Modification to the Conditional Use Permit for the extension of time. All the conditions
attached to the Conditional Use Permit approvals of November 28, 2000, February 14, 2006, and February 9, 2010 are
incorporated into the recommended new conditions below. As noted, a revision to Condition 20 regarding the date of
closure and restoration is proposed as well as the addition of Conditions 2 and 3 to ensure consistency with the City's
Borrow Pit Guidelines.
Recommended Conditions
1. All of the conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit approvals of November 28, 2000, February 14, 2006,
and February 9, 2010, shall remain in effect, except Condition 20,which is replaced below.
2. Extension of time for operations is for a ten-year period, ending in June 2030, to include restoration of the
property.
3. When the mining is complete, the applicant will redevelop the sides of the pit to a 3:1 slope within six months as
depicted on the submitted plan for the borrow pit entitled "Reclamation Plan", dated October 3, 2007, revised
September 10, 2009, prepared by Gallup Surveyors& Engineers. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
4. Activities on the site shall meet all the requirements identified by the Virginia Department of Mines Minerals and
Energy.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan

The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Rural Area.The Rural Area lies south of Indian River Road
from North Landing Road to Muddy Creek and Back Bay and extends to the North Carolina border.The physical
character of this area is low,flat land with wide floodplains and wind driven tides.Within this area is a significant
presence of working farms,farm related businesses, and limited non-residential areas along with scattered housing
sites.The Comprehensive Plan's Rural Preservation Plan policies recognize this rural character, seeking to preserve and
promote continued agricultural production and its open space and scenic beauty while providing reasonable rural
development opportunities that will help stabilize and reinforce the rural way of life in southern Virginia Beach.

Modification of Conditions (Borrow Pit)
200 Princess Anne Road
August 12, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair. The next item on the agenda is item number six Bonney G.
Bright Sand Company for a modification of conditions request, at 200
Princess Anne Road in the Princess Anne District. The applicant's
representative is Harold Jones. Mr. Jones you have up to 10 minutes.
Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Jones: Good morning, Madam Chair and Members of the Commission, my name
is Harold Jones with Sigma Environmental and I represent Bonney Bright
Sand Company. In this current application is essentially a renewal
application for the conditional use permit that was issued in 2010, and
previous conditional use permits that were issued prior to that. The mine
right now, we are still working within the mine and we need additional time
to complete the removal of marketable material, and more importantly to
have available amount of time for mine reclamation which is a requirement
of the previously issued conditional use permits. It is also a requirement of
the State Department of Mines, Metal and Energy and the Federal Mining
Regulation's. The pit does provide a great amount of public service to the
community. Certainly, various departments within the City of Virginia Beach
utilize its products, public works, public utilities, etc. And, it also is owned
and operated locally by the owner, who employs 40 to 45 local people and
employs all these folks that really need to work. It is part of the original
permit that was issued, we had four monitoring wells that were installed
during subsequent applications for additional extensions and conditional
use permit. Over time, we now have 12 monitoring wells on this site that are
being monitored, three of which are USGS wells. They are at varying depths
and that provides us a good cross section of hydrology in according to the
geographic stratigraphy on the site. And, it gives us a good idea whether or
not there is any potential saltwater intrusion which was always been a
concern over a number of reviews of this previous conditional use permit
application. And, to date, we have not found and we submit data on a
quarterly basis to the City, and that information is reviewed with internally
1
and they also have an independent environmental consultant that reviews
that data and provides reports back to them. And thus far there is no
indication that there is any saltwater intrusion on this site. There are three
different aquifers that are monitored as a resolve of the well installation.
And, there is only really one or two of the surficial or the Yorktown Aquifer
that would potentially be utilized by local residents within the area, and there
is obviously no corner depression associated with this that would affect
those wells. One of the other major conditions was that we establish a
Groundwater Monitoring Program and a recharge plan that was put together
and approved by Planning Staff back in 2010, and we continue to operate
under that and all the conditions that were issued in 2010. There have been
no notices of any violations, we report on time consistently every quarter.
And, there are no violations whatsoever that have occurred in the mine
related to the city requirements. Other than that, I will open it up for any
questions that the Commission may have.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions? Thank you very much and we welcome back
to you.
Mr. Jones: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: I understand, we have one speaker.
Mr. Landfair: Yes, Madam Chair, there is one speaker signed up to speak, Tyler Rose.
Mr. Rose, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Rose: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Members of the Planning Commission,
my name is Tyler Rose I am a local attorney with the Law Firm Williams
Mullen, I reached out to several of you, representing some concerns that a
client of mine had with regard to this project. He has lived in the area for a
long time, I do have him here with me today, Mr. Mark Resalphe. He will be
able to speak a little bit more to his experience with the project and the
impacts on the local environment down there and then also just with the
community in general. We have been in some discussions with Mr. Landfair
and he has been very helpful in providing some additional clarity on the
project, you may be able to tell with the email, we originally thought there
was an expansion of the operation. He presented to us that it was just an
additional operational timeline to look at an extension of another 10 years,
we would request that 10 years be reduced down to five years and there
will be more periodic monitoring, especially with regard to the additional
concern with sea level rise and request some additional tests and
monitoring that originally were in place back in 2000. Our understanding is
2
that there were some tests done in terms of the geological impact, so, just
as concerned citizen my client would request some additional information
on just how that impacts the environment and the community as a whole
and allow my clients Mr. Resalphe to speak to his experiences down there,
and some of the things that he has witnessed with the operation. Thank you
for your time today.
Ms. Oliver: Right, thank you. Do we have any questions? Okay. Great. Thank you.
Mr. Resalphe: Good afternoon. Thank you. My name is Mark Resalphe, and I live
on Pocahontas Club Road which adjourns this project here. As a matter of
fact, I live in the Pocahontas Club, which is listed in the Virginia Beach
publication of 50 most historic properties of Virginia Beach. It is a historic
hunt club that my wife and I bought in the early 90s, and did a lot of work
and spent a lot of money restoring. It is good for another hundred years I
am happy to say. And, we also expanded our property to include about 38
acres on Back Bay. When this project came up for the 2010 time frame, we
looked into it and we heard the concerns of everybody. We listen to the City
Zone Experts about the danger to the aquifer, which monitoring helps, but
it is a time thing as well. The minute salt water intrudes in our aquifer, we
have no drinking water and that is all there is to it. We had a scare about a
year ago in my son's property which is also on Pocahontas Club Road, and
we had to have someone come in and find out why his water was salty and
it turned out to be a moving thing, it moved out and he then did not have the
problem. But, it gave us a scare and it made us think about it. I am pro-
business at the time in 2010, I looked at everything they said they are going
to monitor it, they are going to take care of it, the environmental concerns
were huge. If you look, we are on a narrow peninsula we got Intracoastal
on one side and Back Bay on the other. And,the size of this project originally
was already quite substantial to that piece of land. And, then when it moved
across the border to North Carolina and expanded in size, it was disturbing
environmentally to see this going on, we have now a lot of topsoil gone, a
lot of compacted land without the trees and everything that could suck up
water or crops or whatever. And, I was weighing all that, but I said you know
if he isgoing to be 10 years, he is going to do something at the time, helped
the city a lot because they used it for the beach replenishment, and as their
speaker said helps community. I was a customer and bought sand from
them everything like that. But, I thought it is worth 10 years and when I saw
this I was surprised. I was surprised for two reasons, one, if he had 10 years
before he skipped across the border what halfway through or whatever or
what if you use that 10 years in Virginia Beach like he said he was going to,
3
we will be done. How much did he take already, how much of the amount
he is allowed and did he take already and if he X-percent he took, how long
did he do to take that why does he need 10 years to scrape up whatever is
left or what have you, or why cannot this stuff be moved over to the
operation in North Carolina which is further away from Pocahontas Club
Road. We used to wake up before this operation, listening to the sound of
birds, we have a beautiful property, all beautiful wildlife and everything. Now
we hear the backup beeps of dump trucks and the clanging of the back of
them to get the wet sand out, it is loud. It is like a bomb and it goes on all
day. We have an industrial mining operation at the end of our street. And
my question would be.
Ms. Oliver: I am so sorry.
Mr. Resalphe: I am sorry. Okay, I see that.
Ms. Oliver: The red light is on.
Mr. Resalphe: Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions for him please? No. Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Resalphe: Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Yes sir, would you like to come back up and address some of the statements
that were made, please.
Mr. Jones: At least the comments associated with the wells and the stratigraphy there.
One thing that has to be taken into consideration is the depth of the
permitted mine, which is only 25 feet deep from the surface. There are three
different aquifers, the surface aquifer if anybody puts a well in a surface
aquifer that is less than 25 feet because 25 feet is also what we hit the first
actuator and that is a restricted layers in the soil profile, and it prevents
water or it severely restricted from vertical movement. And, what happens
is that by limiting at 25 feet you are down to the bottom of your reserve of
your marketable sand, and you have a restricted layer, so, anything that is
going on in that area, 25 feet or above is generally out of the zone of where
normal people are going to be putting wells in. Primary reason is because
it is full of iron and everybody knows what iron does to your bathtub and
your sinks and your clothes and everything else. Most wells that are put in
are drilled wells, they are going down to the second or third aquifer down
below the confining lens. So, if they have well failures of some sort then
there will be on the direct impact of dewatering the pit. And, because of the
4
actuator there is very little in terms of development of the depression below
that, so, if they have problems with their wells there, chances are those
problems are for some other reason. We have the 12 wells that I talked
about completely circumvent both the North Carolina and Virginia mines.
They have been looked at and approved by the hydro geologist enrichment
with the USGS, and they are also evaluated on a quarterly basis by an
independent consultant, AH Environmental Consultants out in Newport
News and they report back to the City Public Works Department in terms of
various constituents that are in the water quality that are used as markers
for salt water intrusion. What is going on in terms of level of Back Bay and
in terms of global rise is happening it is only going to increase, and it is not
going to have any bearing on water quality itself within the confining aquifers
below that and I see my time on.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do we have any questions? Yes, Don.
Mr. Horsley: Harold these monitoring wells you have got, you think they are adequate to
continue use of them to address any concerns that may arise.
Mr. Jones: I do, as matter of fact, though, we have one at Pocahontas Road that has
satellite uplink to it and I can get on the computer and tell you exactly what
is going on in terms of water levels, and a couple of other various
constituents that are monitoring in those wells. Some of ours as deep as
180 feet, and we got a good cross section of well depths that looks at the
various both horizontal and vertical movement of water within the various
aquifers. So, it is well thought out plan in terms of monitoring and evaluating
the effects of potential dewatering above the surficial actuator, which is the
top 22 to 23 feet.
Mr. Horsley: So, basically what Mr. Bright wants to do is continue to operate as he has
done the last 10 years for the next 10 years. And, he had not had any
problems in the same monitoring system as it being commenced.
Mr. Jones: The extent of the line has been excavated thus far, there are materials. We
also mix, a lot of his clients require certain specifications for construction.
And, there is a lot of stores and there is also mixing of that material to meet
those specifications, so, you have got onsite storage to be able to meet
what your potential customer needs for road construction, building
construction whatever the case may be. So, there is that and then you just
do not go in for mine reclamation and do that in one week or two weeks, it
takes time. You have got to go in and do it right, use right materials,
planning, those sorts of things so it takes time.

Mr. Horsley: Thanks you sir.
Mr. Jones: Yes, sir.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Whitney.
Mr. Graham: The website that set up that you are able to go on and look at to monitor the
wells. Is that something that the gentleman here is able to actually access.
Mr. Jones: I do not know if it is open. I do not know if it is a public access or not, I can
certainly find out.
Mr. Graham: But, it seems like it would be, if it is drinking water it would be nice to be
able to access that.
Ms. Oliver: Well, sir, I am sorry. That is okay.
Mr. Graham: So, I kind of made eye contact and it was partly my fault.
Mr. Jones: I would assume it is, because I use the Beggers Bridge Tide Gage uplink
from USGS for a lot of different reasons on Back Bay and that gives me real
time data both for water level, temperature, precipitation, salinity, and some
other components. So, it should be there.
Ms. Oliver: Right. Do we have any other questions. No. Thank you.
Mr. Jones: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: I do have a one question for the applicant, and let the attorney, since he is
representing you maybe I will ask you if you do not mind coming up. And, I
just want to make sure, I was understanding, so, I know that there was a
question of the water quality. If he has had a problem with the water quality
in proximity to this.
Mr. Rose: As Mr.Resalphe mentioned there was that one particular scare with his
son's property, he has a property there, his children have a property down
there so it is a big family grouping down there, so they are disproportionately
impacted by this whole operation. So, his entire family to this point has been
impacted by this operation and his property in general. He has specific
anecdotal things he can speak to. They may be complying with all of the
State and Federal requirements at this point it is just that there are serious
concerns that he has about his family, these concerns if that groundwater
is penetrated by saltwater is irreversible and they are kind of left without
recourse at that point. So, they are very sensitive to that and then also they
are not entirely clear on the impact that sea level rise may have on this
6
project that may not have any but they are not entirely sure. So, they are
just not really in a position to evaluate the overall impact, so, they are just
here expressing their concerns and hoping that this city will take at least the
responsibility to look out for them seriously and impose conditions that will
look out for the community down there as well. So, I am happy to turn it over
to Mr.Resalpheif he wants to speak. If you have any specific questions that
his experience down there you are representing him generally.
Ms. Oliver: No. I think I am good I just sort of want to just kind of see where we were
on that.
Mr. Rose: Thank you Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, great. Thank you. I guess we will go ahead and we are going to close
this and put the Commission to have a discussion on this.
Mr. Horsley: Madam Chairman, I would submit that this operation has been going on for
many years and the last 10 years in particular have been monitored by as
Mr. Jones said some 12 monitoring wells and I do not think there has been
any complaints voiced and Mr. Bright about it any problems if that they have,
I am sure, knowing Mr.Bright and his community service he would not want
to do anything that would harm anybody in the community and I am sure he
would address those problems right away. So, with that being said and with
the use of this material that he has got in the city and surrounding area is
really a big thing for this area to have access to that sand pit. So, with that,
whenever you are ready for motion I am ready to make mine.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Okay.
Mr. Redmond: I move approval of the application.
Mr. Horsley: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Marchelle will you call for questions please.
Ms. Coleman: Okay. No abstentions.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry, I did not noticed. Do we have any abstentions to this vote,
any of the Commissioners? No. Thank you.
Ms. Coleman: Okay, no problem. If you are in favor of the motion say, yes and if
you are oppose say, no. Mr.Alcaraz.

CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the City of Virginia Beach. Do not click links or open attachments unless you

Good Morning, Mr. Landfair,
As a follow up to my recent voicemail messages,our firm represents an individual who owns several properties on
Pocahontas Club Road and has serious concerns about the affect any expansion of the Bonney G. Bright Sand Co.
operation would have on the local community.As I am sure you are aware,there is a long history behind the
development of these borrow pits, including major issues surrounding flooding,well contamination,and traffic;
therefore, my client respectfully requests additional information on what ecological impact studies the City is requiring
in considering Mr. Bright's application and how the City plans to address the detrimental impacts on the surrounding
area. Notably, as part of the prior CUP modification in January 2010, Mr. Bright represented to the City and the adjacent
property owners(including our client)that the site would be restored by June 2020 and that the pits would be turned
into lakes while the surrounding properties would be cultivated (see attached Staff Report, pg. 2). Given those promises,
Mr. Bright's plans to expand his borrow pits and the City's seeming support of that plan have come as an unwelcomed
surprise to our client and the other concerned citizens organizing around him. Also in 2010,the City required Mr. Bright
to conduct ecological and flooding studies and implement well monitoring protocols to protect against possible
saltwater contamination of water supply wells, which are even greater concerns now given increased awareness over
the past decade about the threat of sea level rise to coastal communities. Please note that the concerns raised in this
email are only a few of the many our client and other property owners have about this project(including EPA
prosecution of Clean Water Act violations on the property and Mr. Bright's decision in 2013 to simply cross the state line
and establish more intense operations on the North Carolina side of his property when unable to further expand in
Virginia Beach) but for purposes of brevity I have decided to highlight certain issues that provide context for our client's
concerns.
We appreciate any additional information you are able to provide at this time while we await publication of the Staff
Report. I look forward to your response and please feel free to give me a call at(757) 282-5052 to discuss in further
detail.Thank you,

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: STUDIO EVOLVE, LLC [Applicant] BYLER LAKES, LLC [Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Body Piercing Establishment) on property located
at 512 S. Independence Boulevard (GPIN 1476688794), COUNCIL DISTRICT
— ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
In 2010, a Conditional Use Permit for a Tattoo Parlor was approved by City Council
for a unit on this commercially-zoned parcel. In 2015, a Modification of Conditions
was granted that permited the expansion of the use into the entire 3,500 square
foot building. The applicant is now requesting a Conditional Use Permit to add body
piercing services to the operation. No exterior changes or new signage is proposed
for the building.
• Considerations:
The proposed request is an acceptable use in this location and will be compatible
with the other existing commercial businesses in the area. As required by the
Zoning Ordinance, there is no other tattoo parlor or body piercing establishment
within 600 feet of the site. The addition of body piercing is compatible with the
existing tattoo studio use. There is ample parking on the site for patrons and
employees. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition
to this application.
• Recommendations:
On August 12, 2020, the Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent
Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0, to recommend approval of
this request.
1. A business license for the Body Piercing Establishment shall not be issued to
the applicant without the approval of the Health Department to ensure
consistency with the provisions of Chapter 23 of the City Code.
2. Body piercing services shall not be visible from the exterior of the establishment
or from the waiting and sales area within the establishment.
3. Any on-site signage for the establishment shall meet the requirements of the
City Zoning Ordinance, and there shall be no neon, electronic display or similar
sign installed on the exterior of the building or in any window, or on the doors.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Body Piercing Establishment is, in Staff's opinion,acceptable given that
the use will be compatible with the other existing commercial businesses in the area.
The Zoning Ordinance requires any Tattoo Parlor or Body Piercing Establishment to be located at least 600 feet away
from any other tattoo or body piercing establishment.The location of the existing studio meets this requirement.The
addition of body piercing is compatible with the tattoo studio use and will enable the applicant to grow the already
successful business.The body piercing operation will be separated from the tattoo work,as it will be in a room
designated specifically for that service.There is ample parking on the site for patrons and employees of both the office
complex where the business is located and the tattoo and body piercing studio.
Prior to offering the body piercing service,the applicant is required to obtain a business license.The applicant has
submitted his proprosal to the Health Department and has received verification that the business meets all the
requirements of Chapter 23 of the City Code.This section of the code establishes standards for disclosure, hygiene,
licenses,waivers, proof of age, record keeping, inspections, cleanliness,vaccinations, and permitting.
For the reasons stated above,Staff recommends approval of this application,subject to the conditions listed below.

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.The proposed family day-care home
provides a needed service to the community and,with the conditions listed in the staff report,will not be detrimental to
any adjacent land uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
resources on this property.

ITEM: FRANKLIN JOHNSTON GROUP MANAGEMENT & DEVELOPMENT, LLC
[Applicant] BIRCHWOOD ASSOCIATES, LLC [Property Owner] Conditional
Use Permit (Housing for Seniors & Disabled Persons) for the properties
located at 3808 & 3820 Virginia Beach Boulevard, 309 & 329 Birchwood Park
Drive (GPINs 1487341324, 1487342381, 1487343369, 1487342560,
1487341778 ). COUNCIL DISTRICT — LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background:
The almost five-acre property contains five parcels developed with office and event
space uses. The applicant proposes to redevelop the properties with a four-story,
150-unit senior housing facility in the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area (SGA). As
the housing will be age restricted to persons 62 years old or older, a Conditional
Use Permit for Housing for Seniors & Disabled Persons is requested.
The proposed senior housing facility will feature a 210,000 square foot building
surrounded by 186 surface parking spaces. The architecture reflects a traditional
style including brick and fiber cement siding as well as a neutral color palette.
• Considerations:
In Staff's view and the Planning Commission concurred, the request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the Rosemont SGA.
Specifically, the Plan calls for a mix of uses along the Virginia Beach Boulevard
corridor with four-story multi-family housing and a mix of retail. This location offers
walkability to nearby services including a pharmacy, commercial centers to the
east and west, and access to an existing nearby bus stop along Virginia Beach
Boulevard.
The site layout reflects changes made following conversations with the community
and recommendations of Staff. These changes include a reorientation of the
building to reduce its mass from the view of residents to the east, an increase in
the width of landscape buffer to the north to the adjacent single-family homes, and
a reduction in the number of ingress/egress points along Virginia Beach Boulevard
from four to one. The submitted elevations depict an attractive building with high-
quality exterior building materials that will enhance the corridor and the SGA.
Traffic generated by the facility will be less intensive than a potential build out of
the 0-2 Office District site with office uses.
Franklin Johnston Group Management & Development, LLC
Page 2 of 3
The application was presented to the Senior Housing Advisory Committee who
supports the proposed use at this location; however, did have questions related to
affordability of the rental units. At the Committee's meeting the applicant noted that
there will be below market units and likely a component of rent restriction; however,
the applicant explained at the Planning Commission public hearing that specific
details regarding rents has not yet been determined.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report.
• Recommendations:
On August 12, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a recorded vote of 8-0.
1. When the property is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the
submitted Concept Plan entitled, "Birchwood - Virginia Beach, VA, Conceptual
Site Plan", prepared by Timmons Group, dated July 27, 2020, which has been
exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Department of
Planning & Community Development.
2. The exterior of the proposed building shall substantially adhere in appearance,
size and materials to the elevations entitled, "NEW AGE-RESTRICTED MULTI-
FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, THE ARBORS AT BIRCHWOOD," prepared by
Cox, Kliewer & Company, P.C., dated 7/23/2020, which has been exhibited to
the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Department
of Planning and Community Development.
3. A Landscape Plan shall be submitted at the time of final site plan review
reflective of the plant material depicted on submitted Landscape Plan entitled,
"Birchwood - Virginia Beach, VA, Conceptual Planting Plan", prepared by
Timmons Group, dated July 27, 2020, which has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department.
4. The Property, when developed, shall not exceed a total of 150 senior housing
units restricted to age 62 and older.
5. The freestanding sign shall be monument style with a brick base, be no taller
than eight (8) feet in height measured from the ground to the top of the sign.
6. At the time of site plan review, a Photometric Plan shall be submitted for review
and shall contain foot-candle lighting readings for all areas of the site including
the perimeter. Said plan shall also specify light fixture height, light fixture type,
proposed shielding, and light dimming capabilities.
7. All light fixtures on the site shall be no taller than 14 feet in height.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The subject request for a Conditional Use Permit for the development of a 150-unit Senior Housing facility is, in Staffs
view, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area. The plan
calls for a mix of uses along this corridor with four-story multi-family housing with some retail on this site. The site
layout depicts a connected and cohesive layout that maximizes the use of the site with outdoor amenity spaces for the
residents, a logical traffic flow and ample landscape screening of parking areas from adjacent residences and businesses.
The submitted elevations depict an attractive building with high-quality exterior building materials that, in Staffs
opinion,will enhance the Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor and Rosemont Strategic Growth Area.
The proposed traffic generated for this use is less intensive than the potential build out of the 0-2 Office District site.
The one ingress/egress is a reduction from four existing entrances,which will reduce turning conflicts along Virginia
Beach Boulevard.The Fire Marshal's Office reviewed the plan and did not find an issue with apparatus vehicle and
emergency access around the entire building.
The request was presented to the Senior Housing Advisory Committee and no objections were raised. The Committee
was positive that the use is appropriate for this location given its proximity to the adjacent senior care facility to the
west; the walkability to nearby services including a pharmacy, at commercial centers to the east and west; and access to
an existing bus stop to the west of the site along Virginia Beach Boulevard. At the Committee's meeting the applicant
noted that there will be below market units and likely a component of rent restriction; however, the applicant explained
at the Planning Commission public hearing that specific details regarding rents has not yet been determined.
As a result of a meeting held with adjacent neighbors,the proposed building was relocated in order to place the bulk of
the building's height and massing farther away from the residences.
Based on the above, Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as within the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area (SGA). The land
use of this area is characterized by suburban strip commercial and multifamily residential uses along Virginia Beach
Boulevard and generally surrounded by several established single-family neighborhoods. The vision for the Rosemont
SGA is a mixed-use development with a neighborhood center and improved pedestrian and trail facilities,with a street
and block structure created to accommodate development and mobility. With improved connectivity and mobility,the
Rosemont SGA will transition from an auto-oriented retail strip to a mixed-use transit-oriented neighborhood center at
higher densities.
This site is noted on the Land Use Plan in the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area Master Plan, adopted in 2011,for multi-
family residential and retail uses on this site with up to four stories recommended and surface parking.The existing Lynn
Shores retail buildings and adjacent uses are nearing the end of their lifespans.They should be redeveloped into multi-
family and single use retail buildings. Parking should be provided in the rear of lots,with adequate naturalized
stormwater facilities.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
resources associated with the site.

Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 5120
Settlers Park Drive (GPIN 1465748683). COUNCIL DISTRICT—CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental use on
a 2,100 square-foot parcel on property zoned PD-H1 Planned Development
(Indian Lakes Land Use Plan). This site is located within the subdivision of Colony
Point, which is a townhome community included in the 1971 City Council approved
Indian Lakes Land Use Plan. Colony Point was platted in 1983/84 and includes
238 townhome sites. The lot consists of one, two-bedroom townhome style
dwelling. The minimum number of parking spaces required for this use is one per
bedroom, or two spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-
site after 11:00 p.m. for a two-bedroom Short Term Rental is six; however, at the
time of this writing, the applicant's representative agreed with City Council's recent
Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing the number of overnight guests
permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day
period from two to one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below.
• Considerations:
The surrounding area includes a mixture of townhomes, single-family homes, and
apartments and is in an area where Short Term Rentals are not typically located
as depicted on the vicinity map. The subject address is within a row of seven
townhomes. The existing driveway is large enough to accommodate the two
required off-street parking spaces. Therefore, the parking requirement found in
Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance is met. Furthermore, the remaining
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can also be reasonably met by the applicant; however, the recommended
conditions do reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the
number of bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest
calculation to two per bedroom. Additional details pertaining to this application are
provided in the attached Staff report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 2,100 square-foot lot is located within the PD-H1 Planned Development District (Indian Lakes Land Use
Plan) and contains one townhome dwelling. There are seven townhomes on this row.
• According to City records, this townhome was constructed in 1986.
• Staff inspected the site on June 17, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• On-street parking is permitted 24-hours per day, therefore any overflow parking beyond the minimum parking
spaces required could occur within the public street; however, on street parking is extremely limited in this
block due to the volume and compression of existing driveway aprons.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject
address.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This site is located within the subdivision of Colony Point, which is a townhome community included in the 1971 City
Council approved Indian Lakes Land Use Plan. Colony Point was platted in 1983/84 and includes 238 townhome sites.
The perimeter of the neighborhood consists of open-space and drainage canals to the north and east, with Indian River
Road abutting the remaining boundaries of the community. The surrounding area includes a mixture of townhomes,
single-family homes, and apartments. The subject address sits within a row of seven other townhomes and contains two
bedrooms. The existing driveway is large enough to accommodate two off-street parking spaces entirely within the
borders of the applicant's private property. Thus, the parking requirement found in Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning
Ordinance is met. Furthermore, staff believes that the remaining requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can also be reasonably met by the applicant. The recommended conditions reflect City
Council's most recent Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of bookings in a seven day period to one and
limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: THE GOOD MANOR GROUP, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 1721 Rueger
Street (GPIN 1455858668). COUNCIL DISTRICT — KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental within
a semi-detached dwelling built in 1979 within the Brandon neighborhood. The four-
bedroom home requires four off-street parking spaces per Short Term Rental
requirements. In March 2019, a permit was issued for a driveway expansion;
however, the permit did not include modifications to the apron of the driveway, that
extended all the way to the curb with no curb cut. As a result, the Building Inspector
failed the final inspection. In June 2020, the applicant obtained a permit to widen
the apron of the driveway to 20 feet, thereby rectifying this error and bringing the
driveway into compliance.
The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a four-bedroom
Short Term Rental is twelve; however, at the time of the writing of this document
the applicant indicated agreement with City Council's most recent Short Term
Rental condition revisions that reduce the number of overnight guests permitted to
two per bedroom, as well as a revised condition that limits the number of bookings
in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are reflected in the
conditions below.
• Considerations:
The Brandon neighborhood is developed with a mix of single-family attached and
detached homes and is located in an area where Short Term Rentals are not
typically located as shown in the vicinity map. The residence has two of the
required four parking spaces located completely on-site. Two of the parking spaces
are slightly within the right-of-way but not within the street pavement. As the
encroachment into the right-of-way does not block or impede pedestrian or
vehicular flow, the Zoning Administrator deemed the parking plan acceptable. As
an aside, on-street parking is permitted throughout the neighborhood 24 hours per
day, seven days a week to accommodate any overflow parking. All other
requirements of Section 241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance for Short Term Rental use
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. Staff has received 3 letters of support for this request.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The site is located in the Brandon neighborhood, which contains a mix of single-family and semi-detached dwellings. This
is an area of the City where Short Term Rental use is not common. In March, 2019, a permit was pulled to expand the
driveway; however, the permit did not include modifications to the apron of the driveway. As a result, the City Building
Inspector failed the final inspection because the driveway extended all the way to the curb with no curb cut. In June
2020, the applicant obtained a permit to widen the apron of the driveway to 20-feet and brought the driveway into
compliance.The applicant now wishes to move forward with this request.Two of the required four parking spaces are
located completely on-site.Two of the parking spaces are off the street; however, located a few feet into the right of
way. As the encroachment into the right-of-way does not block pedestrian or vehicular traffic, the Zoning Administrator
determined the parking plan acceptable. Staff believes all other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rental use can be reasonably met.The proposed conditions reflect the conditions most
recently imposed on Short Term Rentals by the City Council which reduce the number of bookings in a seven day period
to one and limits the calculation of number of overnight guests to two per bedroom.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed
below.

To whom it may concern, February 22,2020
Paul and Denise Phipps have done a wonderful job in
preparing their short term rental at 1721 Rueger St.
Virginia Beach, VA 23464. They added addition driveway
space and landscaped the home. It looks very nice. The
yard is well maintained by a lawn service man.
We have seen the inside and think they have done a
beautiful job.
They are very conscientious about us as neighbors. We
really appreciate that. They have been quick to respond if
there have been any issues with their guest.
We have met a few of their guest and found them to be
very friendly.
I have no problem with them having a short term rental
next to us. I am even thinking of having friends of ours
stay when they come for a visit.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: CHARLIE KIM [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Short
Term Rental) for the property located at 809 Vanderbilt Avenue (GPIN
2426376810). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental on
this 5,375 square-foot parcel zoned R-10 Residential District in the Croatan
neighborhood at the oceanfront. The lot consists of one single-family dwelling
containing four bedrooms. The minimum number of parking spaces required for
the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or four spaces in this instance. The
maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a four-bedroom Short
Term Rental is twelve; however, at the time of this writing, the applicant agreed
with City Council's recent Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing the
number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the number
of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are reflected in
the conditions below.
• Considerations:
Croatan is predominately a single-family neighborhood where a number of Short
Term Rentals have existed for many years on the blocks closest to the beach. as
The subject property is approximately 570 feet from the public beach of the Atlantic
Ocean. The applicant's parking plan depicts four required off-street parking
spaces; one within the garage and three in the driveway. 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 use by 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; however, the recommended conditions do reflect City Council's Short
Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of bookings in a seven day period
to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom. Additional
details pertaining to the application are provided in the attached Staff report.
The Planning Commission heard the application in order to review the contents of
a letter of opposition that was submitted by a nearby property owner. The letter of
opposition attached below provided a detailed analysis of the potential impacts of
Short Term Rentals.

four required off-street parking spaces; one within the garage and the others in the driveway. 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, staff believes that all the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to
Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. The recommended conditions reflect City Council's most
recent Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the
overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 809 Vanderbilt Avenue, and the Short
Term Rental use shall only occur in the principal structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City

Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
809 Vanderbilt Avenue
August 12, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: The next item on today's Regular Agenda is agenda item eight. Charlie Kim
for conditional use permit requests for a short-term rental at 809, Vanderbilt
Avenue in the Beach District. The applicant is Charlie Kim. Mr. Kim is a
virtual speaker, Mr. Kim you have up to 10 minutes. Please pause for three
seconds, so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for
the record. Thank you.
Mr. Kim: Hello, my name is Charlie Kim. Thank you, Madam Chair and Member of
the City Council for reviewing our application. Thank you, Planning Member
Mr. William Miller and other Staff Members who have provided us with
guidance and direction to get us to this point. With COVID-19 and social
distancing, we have grandparents that live with us in their 80s, so, we
decided to do this virtually. My wife and I purchased the 809, Vanderbilt
beach home in late April, ultimately with the intention of family enjoyment
with our four kids and my in laws, until I am fully retired in few years. And,
our plan for the short-term rental is not to build a lucrative business but
simply to supplement until I fully retire and our decision to apply for short-
term rental we remain very sensitive to maintaining good relationship with
our fellow neighbors, especially since we will be moving into this home
permanently. But, even with one opposing letter, I would say we are still in
great relationship with Mr. Daddio. As a homeowner, investor, and landlord
experience wise, I have been and still am an active member of HOA and
active participant in HOAs where I have investment properties and condos
and so on. And, for over 20 years my wife and I have actively managed our
properties and respect both owners and renters, we actively perform the
wedding of our renters, and we treat our property as if we would be living
there ourselves. And, in fact, after moving into this Virginia Beach home we
have been complimented several times by our neighbors, and how well we
have tremendously improved the look of the home. In preparation for this
rental, we have not only complied with the city rules but have planned rental
agreement will include things like only allow family groups, minimum age of
30. No fireworks and such, and we will also have welcome packets that will
explicitly state that we will have security cameras located in a certain
1
position, which the renters will know, maintain noise control, and most
importantly respect fellow neighbors. We are currently pursuing a Rental
Management Company, but we will continue to screen the renters ourselves
and have local service providers such as plumbers. And, we request this
approval as we have been compliant with this application. We follow the
procedures and guidelines, no balance in our taxes and what not. We have
erected the orange sign, although the sign got bent in half after the last
hurricane, but it was displayed for about a month. We have held off on
renting before approval by the Virginia Beach Government to maintain our
respect for rules and process. We understand the concerns of the renters
and we are concerned about the wear and tear, as any homeowners would
be. And, we would ask Madam Chair and the Commissioners to please
consider our application for approval. And, if there is any chance of being
denied, please, I ask that you be clear as to why we would be rejected.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do we have a speaker?
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there is one speaker signed up to speak, William Daddio. Mr.
Daddio, please state your name for the record. Thank you. Mr. Daddio does
not appear to be here Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Alright.
Mr. Landfair: There are no more known speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Well, on that note, we will go ahead and close this and open it up to
any comments or a motion from any of the Planning Commissioners.
Mr. Alcaraz: Well, I asked to hear this because I did receive calls, I was hoping someone
was here to speak up if they were against it, but I need to hear and you guys
need to hear it and it is a shame. So, I mean, if we are meeting the criteria
and I do not get any complaints and we do it publicly then I am going to get
some comments from you guys or I am going to make a motion.
Mr. Redmond: Make a motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: Nobody else.
Ms. Oliver: No.
Mr. Alcaraz: Well then I make a motion that we approve the application.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Alright.

Ms. Coleman: Was there a second.

Subject: FW:Against approval of 809 Vanderbilt Ave CUP request at this time
Date: Tuesday,August 11,2020 3:36:43 PM
Attachments: VB Plannina STR letter.docx
Good Afternoon,
This came into the STR Zoning Email.
From:jtrouter@aol.com <jtrouter@aol.com>
Sent:Tuesday, August 11, 2020 2:14 PM
To: Zoning Short Term Rental <STR@vbgov.com>
Subject:Against approval of 809 Vanderbilt Ave CUP request at this time
CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the City of Virginia Beach.Do not click links or open attachments
unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
After some preliminary research for a freelance article, I started wondering why the
city was turning part of Croatan into a little Sandbridge. The most apparent reason
for the investors is that they do not have to pay the higher rate of taxes in Croatan
that they have to pay in Sandbridge for beach replenishment. The other day I sent a
letter to the Commission asking for a moratorium in granting short-term rental
waivers in Croatan (the letter is attached). What stuck me was the level of approval
of the waivers - at the time 95%. The latest number is 91% (82 processed, 75
approved for all short-term rental requests and questioned the standards used to
approve these Zoning waivers. One reason for approval given in the meeting was a
need for rental spaces. That need is not true now ( see information in the letter
attached).
My letter did not specifically address the 809 property but that property fits the profile.
A little research found that the owner filed for the short -term rental CUP the day the
owner settled on the house. (May 1, 2020). The owner made certain modifications to
add a fourth bedroom. (The house was advertised as a four bedroom based on a
conversion of the recreation room. The city listed the property as a three bedroom,
and a status on the Planning Commissions website stated that the discrepancy would
be evaluated).. The 809 house sits in the middle of the block and is three stories
separated from its three story neighbors by about 20 feet each . The rear yard is filled
with a pool, and the front yard has a fire pit. There are two other short-term rentals
listed on the street. I understand how short-term rental status benefits the investor. I
understand no benefit to the residents. The 809 Vanderbilt Ave. house happens to be
in a poor place for a rental. There are no privacy screen at the front yard. Some type
of fence or shrub barrier should be installed by the investor to provide privacy for the
neighbors. The grandfathered short term rental at 821 Vanderbilt Ave does have
shrubbery that provides privacy to the residents and the renters. I know because I
have been one of the next door neighbors since 2004.

Ref: Comments Croatan Short Term Rental Continued Use Permits
Dear Board Members:
Investors are buying homes in residential Croatan, turning them into weekly summer rentals with
the approval of the City and avoiding the Virginia Beach special taxes levied in the Sandbridge
Special District for similar rentals. This and other issues should be addressed before the
Commission approves any new Croatan Continued Use Permits (CUP). I recommend the
Planning Commission place a moratorium on the approval of CUP requests until the
consequences of this and other issues can be understood.
I am writing a freelance piece on commercializing residential areas and am comparing the
Croatan neighborhood with the Sandbridge Special District. I am focusing on the impact of
short-term rentals on a community. Part of the story includes the Virginia Beach Planning
Commission's recent action to formally control short-term rentals in residential communities.
(Virginian Pilot, Shelton, 2019). During my research I noticed several issues that I recommend
the Planning Commission address before approving additional CUPs for the Croatan
neighborhood.
The Commission stated that to waive a residential zoning rule to include a commercial enterprise
is based on balancing the needs of the residents with the needs of the investors. In examining the
actions so far, the Commission understands the needs of the investor,but the needs of the
residents seem unclear. Based on the recent planning meeting I observed, the Commission
members and staff seemed genuinely interested in the resident's needs. In the meeting the
zoning director identified areas of concern from residents, like density of investment houses, but
from what I understand from the meeting, the criteria to address those issues is in development.
I will use one issue to demonstrate: taxes to support beach enhancement, and examine Croatan, a
very residential community without convenience stores, restaurants, or shops.
An investor who purchases a Croatan house, and receives the Commission's CUP for a short-
term rental escapes the additional property tax they are required to pay in the Sandbridge Special
Service District,but not in Croatan. For a similar house offered at a similar price, the reduced
property tax is profit for the investor. An investor in a Sandbridge house collects for the city a
higher transient room rental tax than in Croatan. While that city tax is specifically stated in the
advertised rental price, houses are promoted as a final weekly or daily rate. For a similar house
offered at a similar price, the investor earns more profit in Croatan. So, for the investor, with the
Commission's approval, Croatan is a good place to offer short term rentals.
The approval seems to have an adverse impact for the residents without any benefit. The
additional tax levies in Sandbridge are meant to contribute to the City's share of beach
replenishment cost, a recognition that the investor house renters place increased pressure on the
beach. Croatan and Sandbridge are the same beach separated by two small military bases, so you
should expect the same pressure at Croatan as in Sandbridge. How will the Croatan residents
need to maintain the beach be met. Will the city fund restoration of the Croatan beach without
enacting higher property taxes. That would balance the needs of the residents with the needs of
the investors.
Two types of short-term rentals exist, and they have different impacts on the community. The
City recognized this difference and created different rules for each of them. The first type is like
a traditional B&B that is an owner-occupied short-term rental of a room or suite in the same
house. The impact on the neighborhood would be similar as having friends or family visit—
relatively small groups under the sponsorship of the friend or family member.
The second type of short-term rental is the investor house where the whole house is rented on a
short-term basis usually weekly without the owner present. In this area that type of short-term
rental is usually called a summer weekly rental. The city has enacted special rules to limit
community disruption for the investment houses. A significant requirement is that occupancy is
limited to three persons per bedroom. Investors now are turning every space they can, like the
rec room, into a bedroom. Think bedroom with fireplace and Tiki bar,bedroom with two indoor
parking spaces, and bedroom with full kitchen. (You get the idea.) The city does check to make
sure the changes are legitimate. The investor home that once housed a family of four with three
bedrooms now can hold nine, no wait, it is now a four-bedroom home for 12. The increase in
occupancy does significantly affect the community, especially if there are a lot of these
investment units.
I quickly examined several web sites advertising short term rentals in Croatan. The first site,
Airbnb, showed about 24 houses for short term rental. Two things are obvious. The first is that
most of the houses are clustered around Vanderbilt Ave, Surfside, and South Atlantic just like a
little Sandbridge. The second observation is that almost every rental is a whole house weekly
summer rental. The second web site was VRBO which focuses on full home rentals, and the
result was similar. The site showed about 30 properties, clustered around Vanderbilt Ave and
nearby streets, and almost all of them were summer weekly rentals. Atkinson Realty listed 12
summer weekly rentals and Anchor Realty listed 9 in the same area.
In examining the rentals in Croatan and Sandbridge. I noticed that the Sandbridge houses were
less densely stacked than in Croatan. Many of the Croatan houses are three story 3,000 to 4,000
sq. ft. and 20 feet apart. Many have a small back yard usually occupied by a pool. There is very
little separation between the properties. Fine for a private residence, a potential for problems
when you plop an investment house in the middle of the block. I noticed one investor house
owned by a popular local builder which sits on a corner and the house is designed in an L shape
facing that corner. There is plenty of room for the renters and the disruption to the neighbors is
minimal.
I examined the CUP requests identified in the July 2020, Commission report. Of the 55 requests
for zoning waivers processed so far, 52 were approved, 2 were denied, and one is under
reconsideration. I know the city staff complete an evaluation and make a recommendation, but
the barrier must be low to waive so many residential homes into investment homes in a
residential neighborhood. If I were an investor, I would submit the CUP request the day I bought
the house, pump up the bedrooms, furnish the property, and wait confidently for almost certain
approval (95%) to begin raking in the cash. Good deal for an investor.
What about the resident's needs. I recommend the Commission ask them. It could be that when a
house is listed for sale, neighbors may say great hopefully an absentee investor will buy the
house and turn it into a weekly summer rental. That will be fun. Meeting new close personal
friends every week in the summer and enjoying the isolation next to a boarded-up house in the
winter. Who would not enjoy watching the caravans arrive, the nightly illegal cheap North
Carolina firework displays, and the five trash cans overflowing with bottles when the renters
leave. It would be just like living in Sandbridge. But maybe not. Maybe they are concerned
about issues the Commission is addressing. Maybe the concern is not warranted. I notice that
the stricter Commission rules have led some to contract with the professional real estate
companies that have a lot of experience dealing with issues of concern.
I recommend the Planning Commission issue a moratorium for granting Croatan short-term
rental requests until resident needs can be understood. The impact will be slight. The next
Planning meeting is on August 12, 2020, and by that time the "season"will be almost over.
There is no need for additional spaces soon. The recent ODU report indicated that the Hampton
Roads area has the highest hotel occupancy rate of the selected vacation venues. But in Virginia
Beach revenues are down 12%, and room prices are down 50%. According to the report, some
hotels have reduced the number of rooms available due to lack of demand. This is a good time to
temporarily stop approving short term rental waivers so you can approve them later
understanding the consequences of the actions. The Commission enacted the new rules for that
very reason.
Sincerely,
Wi/QAr / , Oaafa/0

In the interest of full disclosure,I have owned a house in Croatan since 2004,and have lived here full-time since
2007. I have never rented my house,but my next-door neighbor has rented her house since before I bought mine.
Sometimes the renter was long-term,but most were summer weekly rentals. I have never had a problem with any
renter.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: MICHAEL FAIRCHILD & RENEE FAIRCHILD [Applicant] MLFW, LLC
[Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the
properties located at 836 & 838 12th Street (GPINs 417848537 & 2417848522).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for two Short Term Rentals
within a duplex on a 4,989 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D Residential District. The
two, two-bedroom dwelling units within the duplex require a minimum of one
parking space per bedroom, or four spaces in this instance (two spaces per unit).
The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a two-bedroom
Short Term Rental is six, or twelve when combining both units: however, at the
time of this writing the applicant hesitantly agreed with City Council's recent Short
Term Rental condition revisions reducing the number of overnight guests permitted
to two per bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day period from
two to one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a neighborhood
composed of a multitude of housing types with a few scattered commercial uses.
Lakewood is bordered by Norfolk Avenue to the south, 16th Street to the north,
Colony Mobile Home Park to the west, and Lake Holly to the east. Moreover, the
parcels in the neighborhood are a mixture of zoning districts, such as R-5D, R-5S,
A-12, A-24, A-36, and I-1. The subject property is surrounded by other duplex
dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, and an apartment complex. In addition, the
site lies approximately 3,825 feet, or 0.72 miles, from the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean, and 2,600 feet, or 0.50 miles from the Virginia Beach Convention
Center.
The applicant's parking plan depicts the required four off-street parking spaces on
the property, two for Unit 836 and two for Unit 838. As permitted by Section
241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the
parking plan and deemed it acceptable; however, an unapproved gravel parking
area exists in the right-of-way in front of the duplex. Consequently, a condition is
recommended that this gravel be removed. All other requirements listed in Section
241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably
met by the applicant; however, the recommended conditions do reflect City
Michael Fairchild and Renee Fairchild
Page 2 of 4
Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of bookings in a
seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per
bedroom. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 4,989 square foot lot is located within the R-5D Residential District and contains one duplex dwelling. Both
units are included with this application.
• According to City records,this duplex was constructed in 1962.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject
address.
• Staff inspected the site on June 17, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• While visiting the site,Staff noted the existence of compacted gravel within the city right-of-way. Since this
material is not typically approved for use in the right-of-way,the applicant was referred to the Development
Servicers Center(DSC) Division of the Planning Department to discuss the possibility of keeping it. On June 22,
2020, DSC Engineers denied the applicant's request to retain the gravel in the right-of-way; however,a small
amount of concrete on either side of the existing driveway apron was approved as long as it remains 1.5-feet or
more from any utility box or guy wire.This option was discussed with the applicant, who agreed to complete an
addition to the existing driveway apron as approved by DSC. As a result, condition#3 is recommended to
address the additional concrete to the existing driveway apron.
• On July 7, 2020,the applicant advised city staff that the unapproved gravel in the right-of-way will be removed
prior to the Planning Commission public hearing(August 12, 2020).
• On July 20, 2020,the applicant submitted a photograph showing the gravel had been removed from the City
right-of-way.
• On-street parking is permitted 24-hours per day,therefore any overflow parking beyond the minimum parking
spaces required could occur within the public street; however, on street parking is limited in this block due to
the volume and compression of existing driveway aprons.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a neighborhood composed of a mixture of housing
types with a few scattered commercial uses. Lakewood is bordered by Norfolk Avenue to the south, 16th street to the
north, Colony Mobile Home Park to the west, and Lake Holly to the east. Moreover, the subject property is surrounded
by other duplex dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, and an apartment complex.The site lies approximately 3,875 feet,
or .73 miles, from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean and approximately 2,500, or .5 miles, from the Virginia Beach
Convention Center.The applicant's parking plan depicts four off-street parking spaces on the property, two for Unit 836
and two for Unit 838. As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed
the parking plan and deemed it acceptable; however, due to the current configuration of the driveway apron, a
condition is recommended requiring a small entryway expansion to aid with vehicle ingress and egress on the property.
This expansion was previously approved by the Development Services Center division of the Department of Planning and
Community Development and is illustrated in the Site Layout and Parking Plan section of this staff report. Furthermore,
staff believes all other requirements listed in Section 241.2 of the CZO pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be
reasonably met by the applicant. The recommended conditions reflect City Council's most recent Short Term Rental
revisions by reducing the number of bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation
to two per bedroom.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling units addressed as 836& 838 12th Street, and the Short
Term Rental use shall only occur in the principal structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City
Council.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: CHARITY FIGALLO [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 448 Garrison Place (GPIN
1486987809). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental within
a single-family dwelling built in 1962 within the Princess Anne Plaza neighborhood.
The three-bedroom home requires three off-street parking spaces per Short Term
Rental requirements. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m.
for a three-bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however, at the time of the writing
of this document the applicant indicated agreement with City Council's most recent
Short Term Rental condition revisions that reduce the number of overnight guests
permitted to two per bedroom, as well as a revised condition that limits the number
of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are reflected in
the conditions below.
• Considerations:
The Princess Anne Plaza neighborhood is predominantly single-family homes
where Short Term Rentals are not a typical use with only one registered property
in the vicinity. The existing driveway at the subject property, 15-feet wide by 43.7-
feet deep, cannot accommodate the three required off-street parking spaces. As
such, the applicant submitted an alternative parking plan that depicts the addition
of 54 square feet of gravel to the left side of the driveway in order to meet the
minimum parking requirement. Based on the proposal, the Zoning Administrator
deemed this approach acceptable. As an aside, on-street parking is permitted
throughout the neighborhood 24 hours per day, seven days a week to
accommodate any overflow parking. All other requirements of Section 241 .2 of the
Zoning Ordinance for Short Term Rental use can be reasonably met. Further
details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in
the attached Staff report. Planning Commission pulled this request from the
Consent Agenda to discuss concerns of the addition of gravel with the applicant.
There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On August 12, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 6-2.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The site is located in Princess Anne Plaza neighborhood which consists predominately of single-family dwellings. Short
Term Rental use has not proven to be a common use in this area of the City. The existing driveway, 15-feet wide by 43.7-
feet deep, cannot accommodate the three required off-street parking spaces. As such, the applicant submitted an
Alternative Parking Plan indicating they would add three-feet by 18-feet of gravel to the left side of the driveway in
order to meet the minimum width requirement.This is reflected in condition number two. The Zoning Administrator has
reviewed this Alternative Parking Plan and deemed it acceptable. Staff believes that all other requirements of Section
241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short-Term Rentals can reasonably be met. The proposed conditions reflect
the conditions most recently imposed on Short Term Rentals by the City Council which reduce the number of bookings in
a seven day period to one and limits the calculation of number of overnight guests to two per bedroom.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 448 Garrison Place and the Short Term
Rental use shall only occur in the principal structure.
2. As shown on the "Site Layout & Parking Plan" section of the Staff Report, additional parking surface must be placed
on the property within 60-days of City Council approval.
3. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City
Council.

Department shall 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 neighborhood complaints,violations of its
conditions or violations of any building, housing, zoning,fire or other similar codes.
5. 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 two)on the property where the Short Term Rental is located.

Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
448 Garrison Place
August 12, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: The next item on today's RegularAgenda is agenda item 12. Charity Figallo
for Conditional Use Permit request for Short-Term Rental at 448, Garrison
Place in the Beach District. The applicant is Charity Figallo. Ms. Figallo is a
virtual speaker, Ms. Figallo, you have up to 10 minutes. Please pause for
three seconds, so, we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your
name for the record. Thank you.
Ms.Figallo: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Commissioners, my name is Charity
Figallo. Thank you so much for taking my application into consideration
today. I am a lifelong Virginia Beach resident. My father retired US military
here in Virginia Beach, stationed at Oceana as did my husband. My
children are also are Virginia Beach residents graduating here and currently
in school. I am very involved with my church and I really do love my
community and my city. I am seeking a Conditional Use Permit for my
childhood home after much consideration and prayer, due to some serious
life changes including the death of my younger sister and mother who
resided here. I spoke to a few friends who are doing this and decided
because of my family's emotional attachment to the home, and the ability to
still enter the home and have family gatherings here, as well as the income
thatwould provide support so much needed updates and maintenance.This
seemed to be the perfect solution versus traditional renting to tenants that
could possibly make my family my neighbors. Some of them who I have
known my whole life they could be potentially stock for a tenant for at least
a year that perhaps would not follow some rules, perhaps who would bring
additional troubles to our street which !do not want.We do have a property
on my right that is a rental and there have been some unsavory situations
there over the years. I really do care about my neighbors and my
neighborhood, our yard and our home are always kept up in me and this
makes others take pride in ownership as well. I just really appreciate your
consideration today, I have invested a lot into this property, and I am not
looking to make a ton of money but to just be able to keep the home
available to my family and to be able to make some continued
improvements on the home as well. So, thank you so much.
1
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair there are no more known speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Right,thank you.Then I am going to open up the floor for discussion for the
Planning Commissioners, I believe.Yes, Robin.
Ms. Klein: It sounds as if the ramp was put in place while hermotherand sister resided
there. This question might be more for Kevin. If they removed to the ramp if
that was an option, would that free up additional space for parking?
Mr. Kemp: Yes, it appears that if they removed that ramp, they would have more of an
opportunity to bring the car up to the front. However, they would have to
make sure that they meet the applicable width.Yes, they would have more
room up front but it appears that width maybe substandard to the 18 feet
that would be required for two vehicle parking spaces per our Zoning
Ordinance.
Ms. Klein: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you Kevin. Anybody have any other comments on this I think that
was the issuethatl personally had was the expansion of the driveway being
the fact that we have kind of stuck or in the past, we have voted to stick to
the width of the driveway, so, I feel strongly about that even under these
circumstances.
Mr. Weiner: I felt the same way Ms. Oliver about that. Mr. Inman did bring up a good
point, we have approved houses that have not been built yet for short-term
rentals and I am not really in favor of gravel but it is better than concrete. I
am kind of torn on both sides but I understand Mr. In man's coming from and
I understand where you are coming from.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, yeah Dave.
Mr. Redmond: I would note Staff report says on street parking is permitted 24 hours
per day. Therefore, any overflow parking beyond the minimum parking
spaces required could occur within the public street and I do not really think
this is a problem. So, we are talking about, inches perhaps of gravel and
ample space in the street in any of that. And, they are public streets, so,
just do not see what's really an issue there.
Ms. Oliver: I do not know this area very well how available is because we are typically
we are so down on the oceanfront where there is no on street parking
because of the restricted parking. So, is there a lot of on street parking here
in this area, does anybody know, Staff?This is Plaza, is that right?
2
Mr. Kemp: Yes, on-street parking typically is not an issue like you would see at the
oceanfront, you can typically find on street parking in very close proximity
to a home in this neighborhood.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me, we are splitting hairs here.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Ms. Klein: In the Google Maps view of the house, there appears to be ample room for
an at least one additional car that is the other side to the left at least one
more car would fit.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: Well, I knew parking is a little problem, I mean now we are saying that offsite
is okay. Who knew whoeverthoughtthatthese short-term rentalswouldend
up west of the overall resort but offsite parking is okay when the ordinance
says required parking onsite. It says here it is going to be proposed, it is not
done. It isgoingto be done within 60 days of City Council Action.So, I have
a problem with that, I am just going the ordinance says onsite parking for
Short-Term Rentals is required. They do not have it does not exist now and
now we are talking about using offsite parking,that is directly in front of the
property.
Ms. Klein: But, don't we allow the owners of short term properties to like rent or lease
spaces in the parking garage that are technically offsite.
Ms. Oliver: We do that and then they have that in order to make up for the spot that
they do not have so they cannot. That is part of their onsite parking. So,
they have to go to a parking garage because they cannot park within the
neighborhoods of the oceanfront because they have to have a parking
permit.
Ms. Klein: Right.
Ms. Oliver: And, so, when they cannot meet that requirement then they have to lease
a space in a parking garage with reasonable proximity to the house.
Ms. Klein: So, how is this different than that?
Ms. Oliver: Because she is not leasing it I guess. Yes, Mr. Inman.
Mr. Redmond: You are on the spot over there them Madam Chair.
Mr. Inman: Is there something in the condition that says it is not effective the
department is not effective until the expansion is made.
3
Mr. Tajan: Yes, Mr. Inman, the condition states it in order for them to be approved it
has to be installed within a certain time frame after City Council approval.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: My question iswhywouldtheyaugmentthe parking if they do not get
their Conditional Use Permit. And, that is why you would do it within X
amount of time after City Council approval.And, if they do not do it they do
not get their Conditional Use Permit, they do not rent it on a short-term
basis.
Mr. Inman: Right.
Mr. Redmond: And, again I think it seems to me there is much to do about nothing
here at Staffs comparable with it, I agree with David I would much rather
have gravel than more impervious particularly because this is not a lot
anyway, and in any event, it is a street where your parking is easily had, so,
I do not see what the issue is, which is not to say that I minimize your
concerns George I respect them obviously, but I just do not see it and to
agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: Alright,anybody else? Do we have a motion? Yes, Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: I will make a motion we approve of the application.
Mr. Redmond: Second,
Ms. Oliver: Do we have anybody that needs to abstain, any of the Commissioners
needed to abstain from this. Okay, Marchelle will you please call for the
question.
Ms. Coleman: Sure. If you are in favor of the motion say, yes and if you are
opposed say, no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 104 OF THE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE TO ALLOW CIVIL PENALTIES FOR THE VIOLATION OF
SECTION 241.2 PERTAINING TO SHORT TERM RENTALS
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
■ Background:
This Ordinance is sponsored by Councilmember Guy Tower, Beach District, and
was referred to the Planning Commission and considered at the August 12, 2020
Planning Commission public hearing.
This amendment to Section 104 of the Zoning Ordinance would allow zoning
inspectors to issue monetary fines for violations of the Short Term Rental
ordinance by making the violation a civil summons. The property owner would have
the choice to pay the fine, or to be placed on a court docket if they do not agree to
pay the fine. The fine for the first summons would be $200, and $500 for any
additional summons. Currently violations of the Short Term Rental ordinance are
enforced as criminal misdemeanors. The current process of this enforcement,
typical of zoning violations, takes substantial time. The process includes issuance
of a Notice of Violation, to which the property owner has ten days, in the instance
of recurring violations, to appeal the notice to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA).
If the notice is not appealed and violation not corrected, a summons would be
issued and the item placed on a court docket. If the notice is appealed, the item
would be scheduled on the next available BZA agenda, typically several months
from the date of appeal.
• Considerations:
This amendment will make enforcement of the Short Term Rental ordinance more
efficient and timely. The ability to use civil penalties (fines) for violations increases
the zoning inspectors' ability to regulate short term rental use, without having to
navigate the cumbersome court process involved with criminal misdemeanors.
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:
The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this request
by a vote of 9-0.

21 (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), any person who violates any of the
22 provisions of this ordinance shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a
23 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars
24 ($1,000.00). If the violation is uncorrected at the time of the conviction, the court
25 shall order the violator to abate or remedy the violation in compliance with this
26 ordinance, within a time period established by the court. Failure to remove or
27 abate a violation within the specified time period shall constitute a separate
28 misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars
29 ($1,000.00); and any such failure during a succeeding ten-day period shall
30 constitute a separate misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of not more than
31 one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00); and any such failure during any
32 succeeding ten-day period shall constitute a separate misdemeanor offense for
33 each ten-day period punishable by a fine of not more than two thousand dollars
34 ($2,000.00).
35
36 (b) Any person who violates any provision of Part B of Article 2, section 241.2, or
37 section 1903, regarding only short term rentals, of the City Zoning Ordinance
38 hereof shall be assessed a civil penalty in the amount of two hundred dollars
39 ($200.00) for the initial summons and not more than five hundred dollars
40 ($500.00) for each additional summons. The assessment of a civil penalty shall
41 not preclude the institution of a civil action by the zoning administrator pursuant to
42 section 103(a) of this ordinance, but no such violation shall, unless it results in
43 injury to any person, be prosecuted as a criminal misdemeanor, provided however
44 that when such civil penalties total five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or more, the
45 violation may be prosecuted as a criminal misdemeanor.

Items # 18.
City of Virginia Beach
August 12, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: Planning Commissioners the next four items on the Regular Agenda today
are item 18, City of Virginia Beach an ordinance to amend section 104 to
allow civil penalties for the violation of section 241.2, pertaining to short-
term rentals. Item 19,City of Virginia Beach, an ordinance to amend section
241.2 pertaining to the revocation of grandfathered status and the City
Council findings for short-term rental uses. Item 20, City of Virginia Beach,
an ordinance to amend section 1903, allowing certain short-term rentals as
permitted uses in the Old Beach Overlay District. And, item 21, City of
Virginia Beach, an ordinance to establish transitional rules for the review of
conditional use permits for property in the Old Beach Overlay District. Kevin
Kemp will present these items. Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you, Mr. Landfair. Good afternoon, Commissioners as Bill mentioned
these four items are the referral, the proposed amended ordinance from
Councilman Tower you should be familiar with these items as you reviewed
them twice in July, once following your July 8, Planning Commission
hearing, and then you had a meeting for public comment on July 20, in
which there were approximately 30 speakers at that meeting. I will just
briefly go through these proposed amendments agenda items and explain
each one, agenda item 18 deals with the way we enforce short-term rental
violations. This would change the enforcement from what is now a criminal
violation to a civil penalty. It would allow our inspectors to issue fines $200
penalty for the first violation and then $500 for each additional, it will help
Staff be able to enforce the ordinance and make it a easier and faster way
to get through the process, whereas now they were required to go through
the criminal court proceedings to get to this fine structure. Agenda item 19,
deals with two items, one is the grandfather status of short-term rentals and
the other are required findings for short-term rental uses. The
grandfathering this ordinance proposes that the grandfathering status if a
short-term rental were not used to such for a two-year period would be
revoked by the Planning Director. This aligns with our current ordinance
regulations for nonconforming uses, as the ordinance is written now short-
term rental use if it was grandfathered it runs with the land and it runs in
perpetuity. The second item in this amendment are the required findings
1
1
perpetuity. The second item in this amendment are the required findings
and these provide a basis for which Staff, Planning Commission, and City
Council could evaluate and ultimately approve or deny these applications,
briefly go over the four of those. The first is that the density or number of
short-term rentals in the immediate vicinity, do not change the character of
the neighborhood. The second is that parking is readily available onsite
parking is visually appealing and environmentally friendly. This is in a
reaction to what we are seeing where a lot of short-term rentals are paving
their entire yards to meet our parking requirements. The third is that, if there
is an increased occupancy due to the short-term rental use, that occupancy
remains compatible with the residential nature of the neighborhood as to
not create negative impacts such as noise and trash. And, lastly, it
recognizes that short-term rentals are a needed resource, particularly in
areas of the city, that are in close proximity to venues or districts that bring
high number of visitors. Agenda item 20,this deals specifically with the Old
Beach District, the Old Beach Overlay and what it does is, it allows short-
term rentals as a matter of right in the Old Beach Overlay provided that the
properties meet two specific standards. One is that, all requirements of
Section 241.2 are met. And the second is that the short-term rental property
is the principal residence and owned by the operator. What this would do is
allows for only one short-term rental per property owner. If these
requirements as listed are not met, the way this ordinance is written the
property owner would not have the opportunity to even apply for a CUP in
front of Council. They would either meet the requirements and be able to
operate as a short-term rental or they would be prohibited. Lastly item 21,
is a transition ordinance and this ordinance simply states that any property
that submitted an application to the Planning Department following the date,
these referral ordinances were referred to you which is June 9, would be
subject to these new rules immediately upon the approval of these
ordinances. For instance, an application that were submitted today even
though there are different rules than this in place, they would be subject to
the rules once this is approved by Council. I will be available for any
questions should they come up. Thank you Commissioners.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Kemp.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are 19 speakers signed up to speak. The first speaker
is David Grothmal, followed by Joseph Montana. Mr.Grothmal, please state
your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Grothmal: Madam Chairwoman, members of the Commission, I am David
Grothmal. I live at 219A, 68 Street, which is not in the Old Beach Area. But,
2
I believe that what you do today or whenever you do it is going to eventually
make its way throughout the areas that have short-term rentals. My concern
is with the second area, the Council's resolution that sent over the package
of ordinances says they are concerned about the short-term rental rentals
increasing too fast in the Old Beach neighborhood and other areas. And, I
felt like they needed to get a handle on it. I believe the goal is to preserve
these areas as residential neighborhoods and residential neighborhoods
should take precedence over short-term rentals. That means there should
be a majority of residences over short-term rentals. So, what is the majority,
is it 50%, you have 51% residence and 49 short-term rentals. No I do not
think so, it has to be a clear majority. So, I suggest to you that you need to
come up with a number of residences and short-term rentals that clearly
preserves the neighborhood as a primary residence. I am suggesting two
thirds and one-third or 65% and 35%. Using each Street as the place to
measure, if 22nd Street has 35% short-term rentals already then you do not
approve any more short-term rentals. That will make it easy and clear for
everybody to understand what is the maximum of short-term rentals that will
be allowed. I think that is the key to putting a halt on these applications. The
guidelines that you have in place now, do not do anything to halt the growth
of short-term rentals.Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions to the gentleman? Okay. Thank you so very
much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joseph Montano. Mr.
Montano is a virtual speaker, Mr. Montano, please pause for three seconds,
so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the
record. Thank you.
Mr. Montano:Good afternoon, Chairwoman Oliver and members of the Virginia Beach
Planning Commission. My name is Joseph Montana and I serve as the
Virginia Beach Government Affairs Manager for Expedia Group and its
family of travel brands. I would like to thank you all for the opportunity to
comment on Virginia Beach's efforts to amend existing short-term rental
law. By way of background Expedia Group is the world's travel platform with
leading websites such as Expedia.com, Orbitz, travelocity.com and many
others. We service the entire travel ecosystem from hotels and airlines to
rental cars and vacation rental. Our vacation rental company Vrbo is the
world leader in traditional or whole home vacation rentals. For 25 years Vrbo
and our local homeowners have been focused on serving travelling families.
In fact, our average customer booking travel on our platform is a 50-year-
old woman traveling with a family of four. that long standing focus on
3
responsible travel, translates to our collaborative approach to fair and
effective policies. Over the course of the last two months we have hosted
virtual town halls with our partners here in town, and it is been incredible to
hear their stories. Our property owner and manager partners have been
members of the Virginia Beach Community for decades. They find immense
pride in welcoming travelling families in their small slice of heaven and are
eager to comply with regulations set forth by this governing body. However,
both Expedia Group and our community of homeowners, managers, and
small business leaders are concerned with the current proposal, specifically
with regards to proposed amendment banning owners from offering
secondary homes or non-primary residences in certain areas of the city. We
believe there could be a better path forward that addresses the concerns of
the community, while at the same time protecting Virginia Beach's long
history of welcoming families to hold home rental. Expedia Group has
learned from hundreds of local efforts over the last 10 years that policies
work best when governments and platforms work together. A holistic
solution could help Virginia Beach in three key areas, tax collection,
compliance, and reasonable limits and they could include the following
platform tools. Vrbo would create a mandatory field for owners to enter their
short-term rental permit number in the same format as issued by the City.
Vrbo would also display the permit numbers on all new listings and existing
property list. Vrbo would remove any existing listing that does not display a
permit number and will prohibit any listings that do not display a permit
number. An alternative to the current primary only restriction that has
worked in other markets is a cap of 180 days per property. The city wide
180 day cap would allow Virginia Beach residents with a second home to
participate in the short-term rental market, would also dissuade individuals
looking solely for investment properties to put on a short-term rental market.
This policy of 180 day cap is one that Vrbo would support. As the leader in
traditional vacation rentals we stand ready to be a partner to you and your
Staff to ensure that the tradition of whole home vacation rentals continues
to be a part of Virginia Beach, vibrant accommodations marketplace. Thank
you again for your time and consideration.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Gretchen Heal, followed by
Betsy Atkinson. Ms. Heal, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Heal: Good afternoon. I am Gretchen Heal I work for the Hampton Roads Realtors
Association, and based on some of your comments in this morning session
4
I answered a few of our questions but I do have a few statements that they
have asked me to share with you on these four items. The Hampton Roads
Realtors Association recognizes the need to have property owners comply
with guidelines for operating short-term rentals and our members try to
ensure positive experiences for the neighbors of all the STRs that they
manage as well as the tourists visiting the city. However, we do have a few
concerns with the zoning violations that are different than others. And, again
you have addressed some of those concerns this morning, so, depending
on what you end up with your final decision that may go away. On this
second one, the grandfather clause, on this change we would ask you
consider including some more specific language on the parameters for
inactivity on a property that is scheduled to have its grandfather status
removed, when does the clock of the two years start, just a little more
definition around it, so, that people would know what those parameters are.
And, for all of the items if I am misunderstanding and I apologize but in 241.2
it applies to Sandbridge, and we would like that all any changes you make
do not apply to Sandbridge as far as short term rentals are concerned. That
is all.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Heal: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Betsy Atkinson, followed by
Paige Miyares. Ms. Atkinson, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Atkinson: Hi, I am Betsy Atkinson I am glad to be here to speak to you today.
We are teaming up a little bit here, but I would like to specifically talk about
grandfathering, I was on some of the original committees that created some
of these ordinances and one of the things that we all agreed on with that if
your grandfather the property it ran with the land. And, now you are trying
to take away the grandfathering by reducing it to only that you do not use it
for two years then you would not have the right to keep the grandfathering.
I would highly suggest to you to please not approve this. We have a lot of
situations, especially in the North End where, might be a mom and a dad
and then they might pass away the kids might move into the house and then
they might stay there a couple of years and then want to go back to having
short-term rentals like they had before. And, it is also good for marketing, if
somebody has a home that is been grandfathered with short-term rentals
and they will have the ability to continue short-term rentals without having
5
to come back to the CPU. So, I thank you very much for listening to me and
I hope you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Paige Miyares, followed by
Jim Moffat. Ms. Miyares, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Miyares:Paige Miyares. Thank you Madam Chair. My name is Paige Miyares and I
am the principal broker of Atkinson Realty. I just want to say that the crux
of this issue really add it as a tourism issue. And, behind it is whether our
city really supports tourism and people coming here to spend their hard
earned money in our city. I think the consumer has spoken pretty loudly that
they want to stay in our cottages and especially in a post COVID-19 world,
habits of how we work vacation are changing even more rapidly. Many of
our business have expressed that they are on life support with the COVID
shutdown. And, the question I would ask is why are we looking at policies
that prohibit visitors to our city. Why are we pushing them to Myrtle Beach
and OBX, those are our competitors. As far as these regulations, there are
a couple often couraging signs to me, one is the fact that there is something
that actually says it is a needed resource in our city. I think that is true and
again I think the consumer has echoed that and then just the change to the
parking, because the discussion around parking just it goes on and on, it is
almost arbitrary, it seems a little capricious to me from an outside
perspective. And, so, something that says visually appealing and
environmentally responsible that is helpful to kind of cut through some of
measuring this it has to have this many spaces. The reality of these families
coming to visit is that they do not bring,it is a four bedroom house they are
not bringing four cars, I mean that is how it works practically. And, the other
thing I do just want to address is that it is very disturbing to see the new,
there is even been discussion here about do we follow the rules, do we go
outside the rules, do we add provisions, do we not add provisions and that
seems to be a little bit of an internal discussion, but to see some of these
applicants who has had their applications in since January, and how these
arbitrary amendments to limit the occupancy and to limit the amount of
reservations per week is troubling from an on looking citizen. And, it really
changed the dynamics for my family would increase the cost of vacation to
Virginia Beach and not by a little when you play with those numbers. So, I
think that has to be a consideration as we go forward and I think there are
ways to partner in a private public type setting to help increase the
accountability for these things and take the backlog off of the city. The
6
Beach borough making it by right which is something in one of the
ordinances, I support that for our communities that hug the shoreline, for
sure, because that is where we have traditionally had them that is where
the character of our neighborhoods include them. And, there should be
some by right pieces to the zoning that come forward. So just to know I
probably out of time, but I just want to reiterate that at the crux of this is, are
we a city that want families to come and stay here, do we want them to
come and spend their money here. We as an industry love these
neighborhoods, we want to protect them, we want them to be great places
to live, we have been and shown to be good partners with these
neighborhoods for over 80 years with the business that I do. So, is there is
any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions. No. Thank you, Paige.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is John Moffat, followed by Lynn
Hume. Mr. Moffat, please state your name for the record. Thankyou.
Mr. Tajan: Bill, I think it supposed to be Jim.
Mr. Landfair: Jim Moffat?
Mr. Tajan: Yes.
Mr. Moffat: I am not speaking.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry, okay. So, the next speaker is Lynn Hume.
Mr. Hume: Hello, my name is Lynn Hume and it is hard to believe we are back up here
again discussing short-term rentals. I have been a property owner in the
Shore Drive area since 1980s and I have got long-term rentals and short-
term rentals, that are grandfathered that have always been considered
second homes and vacation homes and they were built in the 50s and 70s.
Due to COVID-19, I am sure that many property owners have had to change
some of the short-term rentals in the long-term. Personally, we put some
doctors in one of our rentals, who were working in local hospitals, they left
for a while and now they want to come back and do a long-term rental. I
want to emphasize that as grandfathered properties are zoning and property
rights were already set last year, our current rights exist. Item19, the 24
month rule, allows the possibility to lose our grandfathered status, health,
economy, and various personal circumstances could change the use of our
property for a period of time, current rights should remain not subject to
being dismissed if not used in the 24 month period. This is not a conditional
7
use permit, grandfathered should run with the land. Item 18 allows for
harassment from neighbors and subject owners to either pay a fine,
considered guilty, or may to defend themselves. It appears that hateful
rhetoric from anti-short-term rental people has generated this amendment
to appease those who always dislike short-term rentals. We attended one
of those all Civic League Meetings this winter and the attitude, for snitching
and telling on people was rampant. Actually, it was like being in a foreign
country, a trash can left out too long could generate the report and fine. I
am not aware of any loud or disruptive short-term rentals in the Bay Area,
Cape Story, Ocean Park, and Shore Drive. Many people speaking
negatively do not even have short-term rentals near them. In comparison,
homeowners and long-term rentals create parking, noise, and trash
problems, and there are laws to deal with them. It is normal for residents in
the Beach Area to park cars, have parties, and big gatherings. It is the
beach. We have already spent two or three years hashing out the zoning
rules and in this troubled time with COVID-19, people are not aware of this
issue, it is come up again. It is our retirement income as well as many
others, and we planned according to these rules. We take pride in our
properties, you will be down zoning our current property rights, pleased
enough for the subject grandfathered properties to the threat of losing our
rights are subject us to targeted harassment and fines. Please leave the
grandfathered rules the way they are now without changes. Thanks for your
consideration.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair the next speaker on this item is Elaine Fekete, followed by
Joan Davis. Ms. Fekete, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Fekete: Hi, good afternoon. My name is Elaine Fekete and I moved to Sandbridge
25 years ago. I chose to live there even knowing that all the houses around
me were rentals and had been so for 50 years. So, the false narrative that
this is a new thing that we have to deal with is quite to the contrary. It is also
a false narrative that all short-term rentals are party houses. 11 years ago,
my husband and I started renting our home on a weekly basis and quickly
found that there was a demand for the shoulder seasons in the holidays, we
get people here who are parents of military children that are coming to visit
and want to stay under one roof. Parents who are traveling with their
children in the traveling sports leagues, business travelers who want to
bring their families and make a vacation of it, or families who simply cannot
afford to take off seven days from work. When we have renters, we move
out and we are not alone. Other owners move out of their homes at least
during the peak season. Still others use their second homes as rentals, so,
8
when the renters are not there the owners are. So, this brings me to the
same question I asked two years ago. How will the restrictions be enforced
when the home is owner occupied versus renter occupied? How will you
even know the difference? I am curious to know how many $25 trash
citations have been issued in the city in the last year, have they been issued
but resulted in no change in behavior or being ignored because if we are
not even forcing the $25 ones for the whole city, what is the point of adding
punitive ones to the rentals and how will you know if owners like myself are
the ones leaving the trash cans out versus the guest, how cumbersome is
that and I say cumbersome because the recommendations sent to you
states that it will make enforcement more timely and efficient and will
increase the ability to regulate short-term rental use without having to
navigate the somewhat cumbersome court process, I am kind of missing
the due process part there. Make no mistake the choice to stay in a home
versus a hotel is based on preference and availability. If summer guests
cannot rent homes here, they will go straight to the Outer Banks in Myrtle
Beach like Paige was saying. If parents with children in sports tournaments
cannot rent our homes during the tournament's, they will go inland.
Ordinance 241.2 only went into effect last November,just three months later
in February Members of Council were ready to send it back to address
lessons learned. What lessons were learned from November to February?
There is zero evidence to support that all of the adjustments made by
homeowners and realty companies in the last year to conform to 241.2 did
or did not work. There is no basis to go back to square one and debate
each and every component, and that is what will happen. I even heard the
word exit signs at the last Council Meeting. The ongoing hysteria that short-
term rentals are bad for neighborhoods is anecdotal and it is the exception
rather than the rule, you state that they should not change the characteristic
of the neighborhood and 99% of the cases they do not. A judge and I
believe it was Austin ruled that a family sitting at a dinner table in a
residence is a family sitting at a dinner table in a residence whether they
are the homeowners or whether they are the renters. But, the request to
review this situation was sent to you with terminology that reads additional
noise, trash, and other possible nuisances, and it is asking you to assume
that the negative connotations Council sees on STRs is fact based and not
biased. Our trashcans really the problem, just because you were asked to
review these regulations does not mean you have to conclude that changes
are needed at this point. You can determine that we should at least look at
what has been done and see if it works first. Thank you for listening.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joan Davis, followed by
Gayle Mottola. Ms. Davis, please state your name for the record.
Speaker: Joan is not here.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry. Okay. So, we will move on to Erica Atkins. Next speaker is
Erica Atkins. Ms. Atkins is a virtual speaker. Ms. Atkins, please pause for
three seconds, so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your
name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Atkins: Hi, this is Erica Atkins, I agree with everything that the previous speaker
said, I do not feel like there is been enough time to really gauge what affects
the short-term rentals in this area have under the new rules and regulations
and I really think that there should be more time before any other changes
are put into place.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, we do have Gayle Mottola here.
Ms. Mottola: Good afternoon. I am Gayle Mottola I live at 115, 88th Street in Virginia
Beach. I support the comments made by Mrs. Parker from the July, 20,
2020, Public Hearing. The beach and fourth story located above Shore
Drive are daytime activities for visitors, not requiring overnight
accommodations. Stewardship of history and the preservation of natural
habitat is questioned as the Planning Commission and Zoning Commission
first quietly and then outwardly tried to change a residential one single family
neighborhood with some duplexes into two homes per small lot, often with
different principal owners who can then rent out their properties with a
conditional status of short-term rental. A case in point is a recent variance
recommended fora builder from Richmond by zoning, who after the hearing
told his perspective neighbors, he plan to live in one home, but he already
had a potential buyer for the second structure on the same lot. That means
two principal owners per lot, both of whom, who could apply for STR status.
Given, that there are six potential buildings going up on the same block of
88th Street, which was once the Cape Henry Syndicate bought from the
Cape Henry Park a land company in 1899, and plotted in 1900, for single
family homes. The density of that block increases by how many people and
how many cars. A second case, we just welcomed unemployed couple of
working age with their three younger children as they moved into the
neighborhood. Is not this what Virginia Beach model a City of a lifetime
means, are we losing residents. Have they not insisted that they have legal
parking spaces instead of the illegal ones put in by then owner of the two
10
structures on the nonconforming land to meet parking requirements for STR
stop. Those parking spaces were in the city signed, no parking zone at the
ocean side corner of 88thStreet and Atlantic making visibility obstructed to
enter Atlantic Avenue. Then the neighborhood would have had to endure
four bedrooms at three persons per bedroom and how many cars if every
two people had one car, the answer, 12 people six cars. The summer the
corner duplex at 201 , 87th was approved and the bedroom was approved
also at 116, 88th Street and now 114-A and B are for sale. They have eight
bedrooms. That could mean a total in two rentals per week of 48 people,
i.e., three times eight bedrooms times two, meaning also a great over limit
of cars. A traffic jam for delivery trucks meeting those looking for a free
parking space to go to the beach occurs regularly in the summer now. The
primary tourist area charges up to $10 for a few hours. The powers that
were made the historic North End especially about Shore Drive 2015, a
district based on the Old Beach Overlay of 2005, distinctly near hotels and
motels and home renting rooms in the well-established tourist area that has
been since 1906. But, that is not the North End demographic, many homes
have passed down to children and grandchildren, the North End is a
residential area with mostly permanent residents and those who come to
enjoy their beach home for the summer. Traffic is another matter, which I
will not address. Again, the beach and Fort Story, a historic part of our city
that Cape Henry area should be treasured and should not go to make
commercial profit. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Mike Megge, followed by
Chris Edel.
Mr. Megge: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Members of Council. I would like to
thank all your hard work on this issue. I am here today to point out we spent
years coming up with his current ordinance. And, as owners we have
worked and planned our futures on the agreement that we came up with
less than a year ago. As you know, restricting property rights of citizens by
changing zoning laws as a taking and by such the government should justly
compensate those owners. If it does cause harm to those owners, and I
hope we do not go down that road. I understand if you feel the need to
further restrict short-term rentals with conditional use permits as is you are
right. But I would like to see the data that the city has compiled for these
changes. I again, I asked you to protect the existing rights of the
grandfathered and by right STR owners. I know this issue has been
contentious, but we all came together over the past several years with
11
many, many meetings, public hearings and we came up with a draft a
compromised ordinance that was thoroughly debated, voted on, and
passed by both the Planning Commission and City Council. The new
proposal would be a little like telling an owner of a duplex, if he owns a
duplex zoned lot, that if you do not build that duplex in the next two years,
you are going to lose that right. I just do not think that is the right way of
going. Also, giving zoning inspectors policing rights, allowing them to issue
monetary fines without due process is a very slippery slope. I just do not
see how that would be legal, if it is not applied equally to all renters or to all
property owners by that right. Again, I just think it is a slippery slope and an
enormous overreach by the government. Mr. Kemp said it would be easier
for the city to enforce, but I believe due process should be shaded on the
side of the owner and not on government. Like I said before, you have the
right to restrict new STRs with conditional use permits, but again I would
like to see that data, why you are restricting them since we have just came
up with an ordinance less than a year ago. But, again I would like to stress
that the current ordinance should be respected and the rights of current
STRs must be protected. Thank you very much,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Chris Edel, followed by Steve
Bishard.
Mr. Edel: Good afternoon, Madam Chairman and members of Planning Commission.
My name is Chris Edel, I do have some handouts from around, hopefully
you will have a copy of. I am here today primarily to speak with regards to
Old Beach where myself and have a partner Bob Taylor, we have
approximately 10 short-term rentals that are all approved by Council, and in
operation. Okay, so my company VB Holmes has been building at the beach
for over 30 years now. We were very active with an Old Beach particularly
with the overlay that they put together, we partner with a neighborhood to
find a way to improve the character of the neighborhood, reduced density if
possible. And, I think we put that together with Barbara Yates and since that
time, over the last eight years our company alone has invested over $10
million in redevelopment of that neighborhood, and what you have before
you here is just a few examples, most of which are east of Baltic, but on the
first page you have 317, 26th Street, this was a tired 50-year-old six unit
apartment building that now is to the right you will see the after which is now
two single family homes, that 317, 26th Street that operated for probably
over 30 years as a short-term rental. I know that for a fact by the person I
bought it from, Mary Grace Thomas had ran that year round and as well as
short-term rentals. Below that, on 27th and Arctic, you can see it is an older
12
55-year-old eight unit apartment complex and we partnered with the
Georgia Joyce Seco that you are going to hear from this afternoon as well,
to take that from eight tired apartments to four new single family homes and,
so, those are just a few examples. The next page one more example on
27th and Arctic, that was a four unit again, very tired blighted property that
had been rundown. And, now there are two brand new single family homes
on that property, so, that is an example of just a few that we have done and
there is certainly others, but I wanted to point that out. The next page, page
three is called Old Beach Revitalization Future Opportunities, these two
properties one at 417, 24th Street 10 unit apartment property and then 416,
24th is a duplex both pretty old tired properties, owned by Mark Ulmer. He
could not be here today, but he asked me to share with you his thoughts on
whether or not he would redevelop these properties and he said to me, he
said Chris I have had these properties for years and if I am not able to
redevelop these as short-term rentals, I am just going to keep them the way
they are, I am just going to keep bandaging them up, they would not go
away, why because there is no economic reason, there is no financial
reason for him to improve these properties. So, he wanted me to share that
with you and these are just a couple examples of others that he owns, he
owns many properties. Page 4, 308, 25th-and-a-half again you can see a
very tired old duplex that I have involved with and the owner of that property.
The one below that 2602, Baltic Avenue, which is a 50-year-old five unit
apartment building facing Baltic, again all of these are Baltic East. But, these
are a couple properties that need to go away, they need to have brand new
single family homes and will have those, but they would not if we are going
to get too restricted in what we can do with those. The next page is actually
the Old Beach Overlay, this is right out of the guidelines, the map here.
Okay, great, because this is just a suggestion and something that we have
talked about and that is, if you see the orange line which is highlighting
Baltic Avenue and this runs right through Old Beach, most of this is Old
Beach. But, if you look from the orange line Baltic Avenue East towards the
ocean, most all of that is rental property and in zone that way, as you look
from Baltic Avenue or Western Baltic Avenue, it becomes more residential,
more year round residents living there. So, it somewhat splits the
neighborhood, but the reasons are simple it is because of the proximity to
the resort and all the things that we want our guests coming here to enjoy
and take advantage of. So, one suggestion is to potentially use that as a
development zone for having short-term rentals East or Baltic Avenue East
that would not require conditional use, but that you would potentially require
conditional use west of Baltic Avenue. And, then the next page, which is just
13
a summary that Bob Taylor and I put together just some thoughts and some
suggestions, ideas. First and foremost, the fact that Old Beach is being
singled out as the only area in the beach, that would require a short-term
rentals to be someone's principal residence, I just do not understand that at
all. Effectively, we are saying, we are not going to have any short-term
rentals. There are many people including myself and again I have told you,
we have invested millions of dollars in Old Beach and we do not own all of
these properties, we do sell some. But, the ones that we do own that is out
the window down for us, and many others that you're going to hear from
here today. And, I do not understand why that would make for a better
experience, just because someone is their principal residence and very
likely they are not even living their while the rentals taking place. So, at any
rate, that is one it certainly we do not agree with. And, the next paragraph
noise and trash, again I do not think that some of the other speakers have
said that there is really any evidence here that there is a real problem issue
with specifically with just short-term rentals in that regard. But, if we need to
have more trash cans we will buy more trash cans and that is fine and that
is going to help solve the issue, I do not know, I am not sure. It does state
in the ordinance that the short-term rentals are needed resource in certain
areas of the city located in close proximity to venues, districts, and areas
that generate high volume of people or visitors. Where else in the world is
a better example than Old Beach, we were right down the others ordinary.
I mean, that to me is a perfect place, and now we have the new sports
complex, all these families come to the sports complex sure some are going
to go hotel, but not all want to go to hotels, there are families traveling here.
They want a safe environment, they can come, maybe cook some meals in
the house, and we provide that for them in very close proximity. The
ordinance change about imposing fines, that is fine because if you want to
make bigger fines we want to be the model example for professional
managed short-term rentals, so, we do not plan on breaking rules. And, if
we do and there is a larger fine so be it, so we are okay with that. But, the
end there are opportunities to consider certainly the OR Oceanfront Resort,
I do not feel and neither does my partner feel like that should be even
included as a conditional use permit it is just going to bog down the system
there is hotels and motels all over the OR and I do not feel like that should
be even necessary. The second page there, that I did speak to just a little
bit ago and we are referring to as an approved short-term rental zone again
Baltic Avenue East is what we are recommending and that is where the
guests want to go. They want to be down and they are close to the resort
area. Professional management, I can tell you all of our rentals are
14
professionally managed, I think that is key. There are many people out there
trying to either do it themselves or maybe some of these people that live in
their home may be trying to do it, but there is no substitute for professional
management and all of ours are that way and I would suggest that maybe
there is a way to incorporate that in the ordinance that they need to be
professionally managed. There is a workshop and that you all had and just
talking about a couple points there, parking there was a discussion about
garages, okay garages should not be included. I can tell you in our
properties that have garages that can fit a car, we use them, in someone's
home you are going to put stuff in there, beach tear, bikes, or whatever may
be, but in the short-term rental you do not need a place for all that stuff. So,
we might have a couple beach tears, but that is about it and, so, we do use
them for parking I would suggest that that would be something that should
count. Number of stays a week, right now the ordinance is two stays a week
and I think that it is a great compromise. Not everybody can afford a week's
vacation,t here is plenty of guests that want to come to Virginia Beach, but
they can only do a long weekend three or four days and so, I think it is totally
appropriate to be able to allow for that. Number of occupants, right now
currently three per bedroom. I know speaking for myself and my partner I
would be fine if we limit the house itself to 10 or 15. We are not looking for
the big mega events and that that kind of goes to the next item events. We
do not want the big parties, we actually prohibit parties in our homes. So,
again, that is just something that that we are not interested in,we are happy
if we want to reduce the number of people, you think that would be helpful.
Our typical profile of guests are families that are traveling here to the beach,
one last thing on signage on the back.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry Chris.
Mr. Edel: Eddie told me I had 10 minutes, so, I guess I can have 10 minutes. Oh it's
10 minutes? Oh my god, I am sorry. Alright, thank you all.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Steve Bishard, followed by
Joyce Sico.
Mr. Bishard: Good morning. Thank you for allowing me to speak, I have some handouts.
My named Steven Bishard, Bishard Homes in related entities. I just want
to speak about in general, the short-term rental ordinance proposal, I feel
like you should give it a time to season. Give it time to see if it works. We
really have not had a chance to see if the recently adopted ordinance is
going to work or not. Anyhow, about 15 years ago at the request of Karen
Lesley the Zoning Administrator in the past and Barbara Yates, I was asked
15
to serve on the Old Beach Overlay District Committee to come up with a
compatible residential redevelopment ordinance that would do away or try
to do away in the proper way of three storey box duplexes and successfully
served on that committee, and I think we can say that we have seen the
results of the resiliency and the transformation that is taking place in the Old
Beach Community by number one the city, number two the community, and
number three private business developers working together, and I
appreciate the comment it is like a prerecorded speaker earlier, the best
way to deal with this is when all the parties come together, partner together,
listen to one another and come up with agreeable solutions to a business
enterprise short-term rentals. That is a needed way for families to vacation.
Some of them do not want to go to hotels. Some of them want to go to
homes, I prefer to go to homes, my wife loves to go to homes, particularly
in an environment like COVID-19, I would not want to go to a hotel, I want
to go to a house that is just recently been cleaned and it is safer for people
and people feel better about it. Anyway, over those last 15 years since 2005,
when that committee started and successfully produced a great ordinance.
We have done a tremendous amount of redevelopment you will see it in the
packet. We also acquired tremendous amount of rental properties, when we
bought these properties, we took them up to the next level of standard. We
did not leave them as blighted properties, we brought them up. I will say
that many of the properties that we purchased though, very much were
blighted properties. As Chris Edel mentioned I echo what he shared today.
Some of these properties we bought their rentals that rented for $600 to
$800 a month. There was a high turnover rate and they were problematic.
Since, I have entered the short-term rental business it has not been that
long. I can tell you that the management company that I have, same one
Chris Edel has stellar performance, had no problems. They are proactive
and matter of fact, the management company that we use to hire lives right
in the Old Beach community. I mean he walks, rides his bike through the
community, checks on the properties that he manages. So, I think,
management, I think you agree is a critical component, the proper proactive
management of these properties through a professional company. So, as I
was saying we have recently entered the short-term rental business hired
Knob LLC, lives in the Old Beach Community and they found that the short-
term rentals have less management problems, less calls than year around
rentals have. We are having a much better time with a lot less problems
with the short-term rentals from a management perspective. And, the spirit
of me being up here today is a spirit of partnership. When I served on the
committee in 2005, I embraced what they wanted to do and had been
16
working in that community since then, buying rental properties in that
community since then. And, I see myself as a resident, not Old Beach I live
in Lincoln Park, but a resident of the city that really cares about that
community. I do not want to see that community, go down. I think actually
what has happened is it is going up and the short-term rental business is
helping that, I do not see that it has hurting it. I have asked the question
with an open mind, how many problems have you seen in the Old Beach
Community ,this is from the management company I was referring to, has
not seen a problem in the Old Beach Community, you can speak him later.
I am not sure he has had to evict one person had to have a police to a
property. So, we appreciate the desire, but I just hope that we will open up
to what the reality really is, come up with a viable solution through partnering
with the community, businesses, and the city that is working hard on it to
have a solution that we can go on with. One of the ideas that that came up
was having a short-term rental sign on each of the short-term rental
properties, that if somebody does have a problem they can call the
management company, very quickly. This will be a uniform, attractive,
standardized sign that we could have throughout the Old Beach. If you have
a problem just call the management company on the side. Again, manager
lives in the neighborhood. One of the things that I have seen since I have
entered the business, the expenditures to keep these properties at the
highest level, they are up there. I mean we are spending some serious
money to take landscaping to the next point, to the next level, decks, any
kind of amenities that people might want, we are spending a lot more money
than we do year around rentals and we need to. Some of the suggestions,
as I mentioned before, what about a taskforce, a committee to come
together, guys like myself, Chris Edel, and others, will meet with the
community of the Old Beach. Be glad to meet with them and come up with
something that works for example, anything East Baltic Avenue with a Baltic
Avenue address east to the ocean, maybe that is a buy right short-term
rental. If it is in some of the more year around residential streets maybe that
is a conditional use permit. Consider giving it some time for this ordinance
to really sink in and see if it works. I really do not think we have given it
enough time to see if it works and if it does not work, I think we can find
some solutions to make it work. In the spirit of partnership, our company
just wants to be a model, an example for how to manage it, to be
responsible, willing to give our phone number out. I have met with a few of
the Planning Commissioners, we are here, I mean we live close, want to
talk to us management company is not doing it we are here. We are
available and we will be available and continue to be so. I just want to close
17
by pointing out two properties on this handout I gave you. You can take a
look. I think on your handout a little different than my handouts as far as the
way it's laid out. Take a look atpage six, and then we will go to page seven
after that. We bought this property at 501, 504, 25th Street and 2500, 2512,
25-1/2 when we bought it, guy was running a gambling operation there. I
knew it because I knew somebody who kept going to it, it is a friend of mine
I grew up with and he was running a black market gambling operation there
and he had five or six little shack units I guess the people that would come
and gamble there and would stay there. We bought this property, turn it into
four beautiful houses. Now, we sold these houses but nevertheless this is
really enhanced the neighborhood in a dynamic way. And, then if you go to
seven, this is a property many of you have seen across from the Old Beach,
very nice Middle School on 24th Street, Mediterranean Avenue. This is an
individual that I bought from, he owned these two houses and had a lot of
people packed in his house, way more units than what we put back on it.
We put six units back on it, we did again sell these but this is an example of
how you can take multi units, reduce the density, and you can either sell
them, you can rent them year round, or relate to this specific meeting today,
you can do short-term rentals. We own a property at 426, 23rd Street
recently and I thank you, you all approved the short-term rental application
for us, has three units on it. If I see, it makes sense I am going to tear that
old build down and put two units on it, brand new homes and might be a
way for me to redevelop a neighborhood that Barbara Yates back in 2005,
was proactively and actively eager to redevelop with the community. So,
anyway, I appreciate you listening, do give it a chance, I think there is an
opportunity to have a win, win for everybody in the situation. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes, I am sorry, go ahead.
Mr. Redmond: Mr.Bishard, do not come back up, but I wanted to respond to
something that you said I think it is something that there is just repeating
and a lot of thought I am a sucker for landscaping. I do not think it is that
complicated stuff, but it makes an enormous difference, and to you and Mr.
Edel and to the other folks who do this, I know that you do a good job of it.
And, I would just like for the general good to say, if you take a property and
you make it the sparkling property on the street, it is very difficult to be
villainized.And, a lot of the people who might otherwise criticize or complain
or have a problem with anything that you do are pretty easily disarmed when
they can trash their own place to the sparkling house on the street or houses
as the case may be, so I appreciate you bringing that up, I do think that
landscaping particularly intensive, well designed, appropriate landscaping
18
can make a big difference in the appearance of these properties. And, I
think that makes a giant difference in all of our communities, not just Old
Beach or the Oceanfront or Shore Drive or anywhere else. So, I appreciate
you bringing that piece up and I repeat it because I think it is something that
we all want to keep in mind, and in the development community particularly
that is a difference maker and something I think can kind of help carry the
day forward. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Landfair.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joyce Sico, followed by
George Sico.
Ms. Sico: Hi, I am Joyce Sico, and I am 70 years old and I am retired, and my dream
has just about come true, because I owned when you get the flyers, the
property in the top picture, which was 2606 and 2608, and it was about a
50-year-old apartment building that was really good to be a chore to keep
fixed and I worked with Chris Edel and we developed it into four single family
homes, and the landscaping is beautiful on most homes I might add and I
kept two for myself. And, they are leased yearly I do not do weeklies, but in
the future I do not want to be an owner occupied at this time. I will in the
future probably in about five years, I plan on living in one. And,I will either
do weeklies in one or I might live in mine for nine months and do weeklies
and all the three months in the summer and travel and that is really my
dream. I have worked for over 25 years, keeping this property in shape and
then developing it. And, I have a daughter in New York, who will eventually
owner occupy the second home. And, she is the only daughter I have left, I
have one grandson and one great granddaughter, and that is my dream to
have my family here something to hand it down to them. But, with the new
ordinance, I could not really do the weeklies like I would like to until that
point. So, thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is George Sico, followed by
Frank Ramaekers.
Mr. Sico: Good afternoon. I am George Sico, I have the property on 400 and 402,
26-1/2 Street. And, originally, as we said before it was eight apartment units,
we did summer rental for 25 years and we only had three parking places,
and the whole thing we coped everybody we worked with it, and we did not
have a big problem with it. Nobody really complained even our neighbors
did not. So, we decided to redevelop it because the lifetime of the building
19
was pretty much it was his lifetime 50 years. My wife said we are planning
on living in one and sometimes rent the other one out for a short-term rental,
the way it stands now, I would not be able to probably do that, but the
property changed now. And, the thing about the parking is that we have had
construction on the Hyatt on 27th and Atlantic and is not complaining about
the parking, since they have been all summer long. They cannot use the
parking lot at the Hyatt because that is been used for the summer. So, they
come down and contractors are parked all along Artic Avenue and 27th,right
in front of our places, which has not been a problem, but I do not know about
the problem with the parking with the short-term route. If they had more than
two cars, they had three cars there is still room to park, if you want to on the
street it is a matter of just opinion and where you are going to park the cars.
And, there is garages too which I do not understand why you cannot use a
garage as a third parking space, you have got room for three cars, not two
in the driveway. And, I just do not understand this, how we are going to go
through all this again. But, anyways, that is my statement. Thank you for
hearing me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Frank Ramaekers, followed
by Eddie Bourdon.
Mr. Ramaekers: Okay. Our family purchased two residential homes 318, 27th Street.
First of all, I am Frank Ramaekers III. I reside at 429, 26th Street in Virginia
Beach in the Old Beach neighborhood. Our family purchased two residential
homes 318, 27th Street and built in 1935, which you can see on the second
page, it is a great home. And,429, 26thStreet built in 1939, both homes have
been placed in the Virginia Beach historical register with bronze plaque
attached to both homes. The homes have been remodeled and preserved
in original construction dating back to the 1930s, does preserving the Old
Beach neighborhood. They are kept in immaculate condition to appease our
guests and to develop superb curb appeal for the Old Beach neighborhood.
429, 26this my permanent residence and is shared during the summer
months with guests who visit Virginia Beach ad surrounding area. 318, 27th
Street is a short-term rental year around 365 days a year. We also have a
10 unit apartment complex located on 26th Street, which is kept in
immaculate condition every single blade of grass is cut perfectly. It is our
neighborhood, my neighborhood, my three children, my wife, and my
parents also involve and residing in this neighborhood and it is important to
us that everything is kept perfect. I also host numerous homes in Old Beach
neighborhood and I use the term host because I interact with the guests to
20
be sure the visit to our city is excellent, is flawless. Every guest when they
enter the home, receive a binder. You look in the last page, you will see
what it states. Upon the arrival of guests we see this binder and they agreed
to the rules and regulations, which they are stated here in the binder and
they also agreed to them electronically when they make the reservation
through Vrbr Airbnb. I just want to publicly state these rules and regulations
which guests agree to, it says "hello guest, thank you for choosing our
home, welcome to Virginia Beach to beach life, relax, and enjoy. Check in
time is four and checkout is 11, please make note of these times as our
cleaning staff needs this time thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the hall."
Especially during this time COVID-19, our guests appreciate the homes
because they are thoroughly sanitized, we do a CDC recommended
cleaning in the homes. Your home is in a residential area and your
neighbors reside here all year. We understand you are here to relax and
enjoy our beautiful beaches, but please respect their privacy and the
Virginia City Ordinance of quiet hours from 10pm to 7am. Virginia Beach
City violation of these quiet hours will result in immediate departure. I have
had hundreds of reservations through our homes in the homes that I also
host, and I have not had any problems, zero problems with the guests. At
this current time, I have over 100 guests, my phone does not ring. So, I do
not understand why the ordinances must be changed because I have zero
issues at the present time .Down at the bottom parking, designated parking
is provided for you. You may park two vehicles in the driveway, one vehicle
in the garage, please do not block the sidewalk, as it is disrespectful to the
pedestrians and our neighbors, you will be towed if blocking the sidewalk.
If you need additional parking please contact somebody "me" and I can
direct you to the parking. There is a public parking garage on 25th street, I
direct individuals there and I tell them it is $20 a night and in New York City's
$100 a night. And, that is where they park at if necessary. We always the
parking is controlled thoroughly. You guys have any questions, I appreciate
your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Ramaekers: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Eddie Bourdon, followed by
Samuel Jones.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Landfair, Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the
record Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney I do not have a handout.
The first thing I want to talk about is, I want to say, Mr. McGee's comments
21
on item 18, because I and my clients do not have any problems with the
fines, but his one comment was spot on not to say, other ones were not.
The fact that we are putting a scarlet letter on short-term rentals by having
these fines that only apply to short-term rentals does not make sense to me
because I guarantee you, I have not asked Mr. Kemp, but I guarantee you,
we have a lot more problems in this city with code compliance with long-
term rentals. Okay. No doubt about it. So, the fines should not just apply to
short-term rentals they should apply to any property that is rented. This
short-term rentals are not anywhere close to the problem of compliance as
long-term rental or the yearly rental. That is even completely not arguable.
Okay, on number 19, the grandfathered or I consider they are legally
nonconforming. I will just simply say that everything else that deals with
legal nonconformance pretty certain goes to the Zoning Administrator, the
Board of Zoning appeals to court. I am not really sure why the Planning
Director is the one making the decisions on these on the 2600, short-term
rentals that are grandfathered or legally nonconforming. It seems a little bit
odd to me, but anyway. And what constitutes abandonment, there is a lot of
different tentacles to what constitutes abandonment as well. And, there is
legal precedent on that issue when it comes to nonconforming use and the
abatement of nonconforming use. And, I think that is why it belongs in the
Zoning Administrator BZA, quasi-judicial BZA, and court. As for the changes
to the ordinance the findings, characteristics of the neighborhood Mr.
Grockmal it is a false narrative that he put out there, because what is
residential short-term rentals are residential, long-term rentals are
residential, and short-term is less than 30 days under your ordinance, and
owner occupied it they are all residential. Maybe, there is a distinction
between owner occupied single family and rental, whether it is short-term
or long-term, I would submit that short-term, the vast majority of cases is a
better situation when it comes to the upkeep maintenance etc. of the
property than long-term, especially in areas like Old Beach, which have
needed for decades redevelopment. So, characteristics of a neighborhood
or portion of neighborhood like Baltic East which is probably 75% rental and
has been forever. What is the characteristic, it is not single family owner
occupied, which I would submit probably is close to the majority it may well
be the majority on those areas West of Baltic and Old Beach. The idea that
Old Beach should be dealt with differently than Lakewood or Sea Pines, or
maybe even Shadow Lawn, the Shadow Lawn is different. I do not
understand why we are doing this part of the Oceanfront Resort and not
Lakewood to the South and Sea Pines to the North of 31st Street. But
anyway, and I said this at the workshop under number four, this needed as
22
a comp plan term, it should not say needed. We should not be in the
business other than a comp plan of suggesting what we need or we want.
It should be compatible resource, not a needed resource, although it is
needed in Old Beach for the portions that we have talked about and it is
also needed on 21st and 22nd Street as I have said previously, Norfolk
Avenue other main thoroughfares. Arctic and Baltic, no matter what you
say.it does see on a nice job with trying to calm the traffic, but that North-
South corridor of Arctic and Baltic, there are going to always be heavily
trafficked. And, it is different than once you get West of Baltic ran into
Barbara Yates, I was going to relate this at the workshop and did not have
time. At the vet about month and a half ago and Mr. Bishard and Mr.Edel
have been involved with Old Beach from a legal standpoint, but Staff and
Karen Lasily, etc. has been a great process over the years, and the first
thing Barbara said is, can you believe how great Old Beach is looking. I
cannot believe that Artic Avenue looks as good as it does. And, Barbara
has done even that and I said Barbara, yet it has been fantastic. You do
realize that short-term rentals has been a big part of that Arctic, because
Arctic and Baltic just like 21 st and 22nd always been a thorn in the city side
in terms of how do we get that to redevelop and putting more density, was
the old way and it turns out we can do it with less density, because of short-
term rentals and she said you know I do not like short-term rentals but I got
to say Arctic Avenue is looking extremely good and I did not think I lived to
see that happen. So, this idea that the Chairperson said this morning that
Old Beach has been hit hard by short-term rentals, I am not seeing that
whatsoever. And, we are seeing a reduction in the number of units on a lot
of these, and with the occupancy restrictions that apply to short-term rentals
that do not apply to people renting for more than 30 days in the same
neighborhood. And ,that is in here too, some of the languages a little
questionable I think some time needs to be spent on working on it, but we
are not at all opposed to the fines and really not particularly opposed to the
stuff in 19 although, again I do not think it is as good as it should be. On the
Old Beach part, it looks to me like it is a solution in search of a problem.
There are 2600 short-term rentals that are grandfathered legally non-
conforming. There have been 196 applications filed for short-term rental
CUPs since the ordinance went into effect. That is 7.5% of the ones that
already exist. The short-term rentals that have been approved by council
62,that is 3% of the short-term rentals that already exist. Our statistics that
I have that were presented to RAC and some of the people by the city, so,
there has been 63 short-term rental applications in the OR District. There
is no OR District in Old Beach I do not know where those have been
23
because I have not seen them. And, as I have said previously, why short-
term rentals CUP is needed in the OR District is beyond me it does not
make any sense at all. It is not a "neighborhood" as everybody uses that
term. So, it does not make a lot of sense, but most importantly there are
only 28 short-term rental applications, 1% of those that exist that have been
submitted and I believe acted upon or in the process of being acted upon in
all of Old Beach 28. That is my point of a solution in search of a problem.
That is 1% of the existing short-term rentals and then Old Beach is just a
small subset, as I said earlier, of the Oceanfront Area and I do not know
why it is being dealt with separately from Lakewood, Sea Pines, or
potentially Shadow Lawn. Also, city statistics show there are other short-
term rentals in the city, there are 29% in the Beach District, 29%. Now,
Princess Anne has the largest cause of Sandbridge, but that is still not an
overwhelming percentage. Old Beach is finally experiencing at a more rapid
pace, a long overdue and long encouraged by the city redevelopment. It is
an organic redevelopment, city has helped, but it is mainly the investments
that are being made by not just the folks that are here but there are others
as well, Ken Hunt comes to mind. Do in large part to short-term rentals and
many with an accompanying reduction in density, and certainly a better
control over who is there and what they are doing, what they are spending.
They are going to spend more money at the resort, because they are here
for a vacation. And, you or I would come down and stay on Baltic or Arctic
or 21st or 22nd street or Norfolk Avenue for four or five days or a week, but
somebody might not really want to live on those heavily traffic streets 365.
It is different from back in the area where there is not a lot of traffic. And, as
a Commission has a city we should be a little bit more thorough in how we
try to, we do not want to kill the golden goose and that is what this really is
in some parts of the city, not necessarily in Croatan, not necessarily at the
North End, but here in these areas that have been blighted in for years
needed redevelopment. It is a great asset and truly same is true for
Lakewood, and the other areas there, we should not be putting a scarlet
letter on something that there is no evidence is a big problem. Lastly, the
idea of by right owner occupied makes no sense to me. Okay, they just want
to use from it too because what if you have some people it is great, I have
one in Croatan and I would not get all details but bottom line, a lady with a
baby by a new husband, a 13-year-old daughter they were renting out
rooms in their house a year, this was going back four or five years ago. I
had everybody in my block, what can we do this is crazy. Why would they
let people move in the house for a weekend with their infant and a 13-year-
old daughter. So, owner occupied short-term rentals can be great, do not
24
get me wrong, but it is not a panacea. It should be governed by use permit
as well.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon:Thank you. Do I have to answer any question?
Ms. Oliver: No, I think. Thank you, though. We will be back.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the last registered speaker on this item is Samuel Jones.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Jones: Good afternoon. I hope you guys can hear me. I appreciate the opportunity
to speak. I guess, I was 22 years old I left Virginia Beach and it is been six
years of my life commercially fishing in the North and South Pacific. I started
a family in 98, and bought a triplex on 27th Street that same year, since
then I have moved to the 500 Block of 26th Street. So, I have been living in
Old Beach now for 22 years. I am late to this party, but I spent last night
watching the July 8, meeting with the Planning Commission. I am a small
business owner. By day I wear toolbelt. So, in reality, the properties I own
in Old Beach are my retirement. One of the concerns I am addressing you
guys, I guess it would be agenda 20. In the future, my triplex is rented yearly
at the moment and has been since 2001 .At some point, I may want to look
at doing short-term rentals. These gentlemen to my right and in the back,
they are obviously having success. The Old Beach Overlay has made my
neighborhood better. Some may say I live in a blighted home I live in a little
three bedroom and one bath that was built back in 54. I am not ripping it
down, I like my backyard. And,I am going to continue to update it. In the
past year, my wife came down with breast cancer and through this whole
transition our dream is possibly to rent our home and maybe go to France
for a couple weeks in the summertime. But what I see if you really want to
look at Old Beach and look at really who owns the properties and the
number of short-term rentals, the number of annual rentals I think a lot of
the tax records show that a lot of LLCs, own a lot of properties. I would vary
to say that the permanent homeowners are in the minority and it is a very
cool little neighborhood. I play tennis on 26th Street a couple times a week,
I surf out front. But, with that said, I have for short-term rentals between on
Mediterranean right. In the 600 block and the families that do rent those
home walk by past my house every day going to the beach and it is kind of
nice seeing people go walk and go to the beach. This morning I stopped a
couple and presently painting and redoing the hardwood floors and my
rental on 27th and they are doing three days, they are spending $300 a
25
night they are from Richmond. They are actually staying in not a very nice
unit. So, we have a pretty big we got these brand new homes that Chris
Edel has developed and then we still have some older stuff that is
considered blighted. That may not ever go away or maybe not transition out
as soon as the public wants. So, I want you guys to consider and respect
the older residents and the possibility of being able to use the properties
that we have invested in for future. And, there should never be a cap on the
number of short-term rentals or weekly rentals, because even if it's East or
West of Baltic .And, then on the agenda 20, I think that again I hope you
guys taking consideration any type of future investments and in future
people wanting to do short-term rentals and not alienate them if the
numbers, there is too many in the neighborhood. I honestly as a resident,
we are different than Shadow Lawn and we are different than North End.
We are very close to the hub of the oceanfront and at the moment it looks
like we are doing a good job of creating a nice neighborhood for short-term
rentals, weekly rentals and even annual renters, and homeowners to live in.
So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me for a second, I did not catch your name at the beginning.
Mr. Jones: I am Samuel Jones.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Jones, you are not late to this party, I thought your comments
were very valuable and I also want to say, we wish the best for your wife
and your whole family.
Mr. Jones: Yeah, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, at this time we would like to ask if there are any other
speakers present either in the lobby, or in the chamber that would like to
speak. Anyone?
Mr. Sanders: No one in the lobby.
Mr. Landfair: Okay. It would appear that there are no more known speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Well, I think we will close this now and then up our Planning
Commission.
26
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, let us close it and then we will open up for discussion and we will
move through these one at a time, and do we want to wait for Mr.Redmond
to come up we want him to catch up.
Mr. Weiner: I would like comment if I could Staff anyway. I do not have problem with
fines, but Mr.Bourdon bought up a good point. Why are we just picking on
short-term rentals and there is a lot of other rentals out there in the city that
have problems, long-term rentals. I mean I know why are preying on short-
term rentals, but we thought about that about long-term rentals too.
Mr. Tajan: As my understanding that because of the turnaround on short-term rentals
and that the regular zoning enforcement process of a 30-day notice, and
then going to the Board of Zoning appeals for some of these issues is a bit
cumbersome and by the time someone gets through that process the
season is over, and they are no longer renting, so, they are in compliance.
So, part of it is the ability to as allowed by state code for certain zoning
violations, they can become civil penalties which is what this is going for we
use this currently also. We have the ability to utilize this for signage as well,
but this follows what is permitted by State Code. Now, as far as this is a
subset in the zoning ordinance, there is an subset in the zoning ordinance
that talks about rentals. So, this is going in based on the utilization of a
property as a short-term rental.
Mr. Weiner: Follow up real quick to that, why are we including Sandbridge in this mean,
I mean another part of the ordinance, but I mean why would we include
Sandbridge on part of like they are in little entity down there and so forth.
Mr. Tajan: The zoning ordinance requires that anyone operating a short-term rental
comply with section 241.2, which includes the portions that we deal with
grandfathering and also the performance standards.
Mr. Weiner: As I was just ask the question. Okay.
Ms. Oliver: All right, so we are going to start with 18, and do we have any comments
on this one.
Mr. Redmond: I echo David's comments it seems to me rather unfair. I mean I heard
your explanation, I just do not know that I buy it very frankly. I do think we
ought to enforce far more in the city than we do. But, it just strikes me that
we have different standards, so make a difference if you are violating the
law in some way, whether a renter is there for 31 days, whether there for
seven, I do not know that is particularly fair. I will say at the outset to, I mean
I thought I have heard everything, but this is very educational session today,
27
and I listened to every single word. But, I am more discombobulated than I
was when we began and I have objections based on what I have heard to
everything Ms. Atkinson I was perfectly okay with the grandfathering until
Ms. Atkinson. What is wrong with the lander does not it, I never thought
about that. So, if you decide you feel like living in your own house instead
of renting it for a couple of years, you cannot go back to renting again I do
not know how that makes any sense, any case. So, I got a whole bunch of
objections that I am not going to support anything today, because I think
Mr.Weiner I hope anyway if I have read them correctly sure it is my view,
but there is way more going on here than we can make up on the fly.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to interrupt you and I am going to let the attorney speak for one
second. It can happen all the time.
Mr. Redmond: I get it all day long.
Ms. Oliver: Its okay.
Ms. Wilson: I understand about civil penalties. Right now if you have a zoning violation,
which is what these are, when you violate the zoning ordinance you are
charged with an unspecified misdemeanor, it is a misdemeanor when they
say have you ever been charged with a crime, you have to put down, yes,
because it is a misdemeanor. Now for zoning you cannot go to jail, that is
why it is an unclassified or an unspecified misdemeanor. But, it is a fine up
to $2500. $2,000?
Ms. Wilson: $2500. Anyway, so we feel that a bigger penalty on someone, than
someone going through the system and having a civil penalty. They still
have due process. We send you what looks like a summons, it just says the
violation is this, the penalty is this, the $200. If you want to pay it, you go
down to the treasurer's office and you pay it. And, it goes into Planning's
budget under short-term rentals under civil penalties. If we did not do this
then people would have to go through the regular process, which could
potentially give them a misdemeanor. Now, we do not want to give them a
misdemeanor on their record forever for some of this stuff. We felt it was a
way to make it easier on people who have violations. Because a lot of the
things are not earth shattering, but there are other things that also have civil
penalties in the zoning ordinance, SANS are civil penalties. There is a
philosophical issue.
Mr. Redmond: We do not enforce the sign thing just so you know, we talked about
that earlier.
28
Ms. Wilson: Yes, they are. There is a philosophical debate between which is better, civil
penalties to get people to do things or criminal penalties, and it is
philosophical more than it is concrete. We have looked at going to civil
penalties for everything, but many people feel that criminal penalties are
things that require people to more readily bring their property into
compliance. If they have variance requirements, so they have setback
issues and they have other things. So, that is why we went to civil penalties,
because it was justifying. Now it is only $200,if you have a regular fine from
a criminal violation it could be up to, I think it is $2000. But, that is why it
was done, it is not something that is brand new or never been thought of
and you still get due process.As if we decide, hey I am not paying that$200,
I am just not paying, come on over to court. Tori will be there and she will
prosecute you just like it was a criminal violation, except her standards, the
standard for proving it is lower for the City.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Redmond: I thank you for that, I still share David's view, I just do not know that
is consistent, so, I have a different view of it. So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes,
Mr. Graham: I agree with Mr. Redmond, I thought it was great to hear from these
speakers. Full disclosure Mr. Jones back there I went to high school with
him. And, he grew up in Virginia Beach he went first colonial High School,
as I did. And, I am sure that he is surprised it how revitalized that area is
today compared to what it was back in the 80s, it is very different. And,
hearing the speakers, I mean, they have taken places and you look at these
pictures, they took places that were eight units and converted them into two
houses, the before and after pictures. I mean, this is short-term rentals have
been the economic engine of that area they have to completely transform
that area. I am torn with short-term rentals in other areas like your traditional
neighborhood, but here close to the beach I am not I think that what has
happened over there is great. And, I agree with Mr. Redmond. I do not
know that there is anything in here you can support today, I think this thing
is being rushed through I think that more thought needs to be given to it.
Ms. Oliver: All right. No disrespect, but we are going to do 18, because I just do not
want.
Mr. Weiner: We got to do 18 first.
Ms. Oliver: We got to do 18, we got to do them separately.
29
Mr. Graham: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: And, so that we can focus specifically, kind of where we are and what we
are addressing. Robin.
Ms. Klein: I understand the argument for 18. However, since it is currently a criminal
penalty, which I disagree with, I do intend to support the transition to a civil
penalty, at least in the interim.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Perfect, right. Yes, Don.
Mr. Horsley: The whole thing was civil criminal penalty it did not make much difference
to me, other than the fact that the enforcement is the whole thing. And,
cannot see that changing this penalty is going to make anything, I do not
know where the enforcement is going to come from. I just do not think we
have to staff or whatever to enforce it regardless of what it is. I mean, the
civil penalty versus criminal penalty, I mean it is minor penalties is as that is
fine with me I do not mind that, but what is the people that have put this
issue up what method of enforcement have they come up with to help
enforce with any type of penalty. Because, we do not have the staff now in
order to do it now evidently.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Horsley, you are correct currently right now we are working as best we
can with what we have and we do have three additional positions that have
been kicked free from the hiring freeze to allow us to focus on this as well
as our contract with host compliance. So, Mr. Kemp and I was in a meeting
with the City Manager discussing other ways to add to our enforcement
capability, whether it be a third party or to figure out a way to fund the ability
to have someone to be out there on the weekends to go and enforce these
requirements. So, it is not something idle, we were not just tossing the
words out. We are also working as far as staffing and finding other solutions
that are available to us to do the enforcement.
Mr. Horsley: I mean, I see this with other things not just short-term rentals enforcement
or other thing. People complaining to me all the time about various things
and said why did not the city take care of this and I said, well, I guess we
just do not have the people to enforce the code. So, regardless of what
penalties we put up there, I think that is something that somebody on
Council or somewhere has got to come up with a way to provide more
enforcement to use those.
Ms. Oliver: Well. Yes, Mike.
30
Mr. Inman: I certainly think civil penalties makes more sense than the criminal penalty
on this kind of thing and I think we can support that.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Inman: I would support that.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. So, do I have a motion for 18?
Mr. Inman: I will move approval of 18.

CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance. This amendment will make enforcement
of the Short Term Rental ordinance more efficient and timely. The ability to issue civil
penalties (fines) for violations increases the zoning inspectors' ability to regulate short
term rental use, without having to navigate the somewhat cumbersome court process
involved with criminal misdemeanors, as the ordinance currently requires.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 1903 ALLOWING CERTAIN SHORT
TERM RENTALS AS PERMITTED USES IN THE OLD BEACH OVERLAY
DISTRICT
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
This Ordinance is sponsored by Councilmember Guy Tower, Beach District, and
was referred to the Planning Commission and considered at the August 12, 2020
Planning Commission public hearing.
The Old Beach Overlay District was established in 2005. The purpose of the
District is to preserve and enhance the historic status of the Old Beach
neighborhood as one of the first residential areas within the Oceanfront Resort
Area. A number of different zoning districts permitting single-family, duplex and
multi-family development exist within its boundaries; however, the overall
character of the neighborhood is residential. Currently, Short Term Rentals are a
conditional use, unless grandfathered, in the Old Beach Overlay District. Since the
implementation of the Short Term Rental Ordinance on November 1, 2019, more
than thirty(30) applications have been submitted in this Overlay District. Concerns
have been raised regarding their negative impact on the residential character of
the neighborhood.
The proposed amendment would allow Short Term Rentals as a permitted use by-
right in the Old Beach District; provided however, that certain criteria are met.
These criteria are thought to limit the number of new Short Term Rentals as well
as their impact on the community. The two criteria that must be met are: (1) all
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance must be met, and (2) the
property must be the principal residence and owned by the operator. If these
criteria cannot be met, Short Term Rental use is not permitted on the site and a
conditional use permit cannot be applied for. This amendment would allow for one
Short Term Rental per property owner.
• Considerations:
Permitting Short Term Rentals as a matter of right will alleviate the number of
conditional use permit applications considered by City Council, Planning
Commission and evaluated by Staff, which has been burdensome to this point. By
making operation of the Short Term Rental contingent on meet all requirements of
Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, as well as requiring the property to be the
City of Virginia Beach —Short Term Rental- Old Beach Overlay
Page 2 of 2
principal residence of the operator, Staff is confident that this amendment would
mitigate the potential negative impacts that residents of the neighborhood have
brought to Staff and City Council's attention. Following a lengthy discussion, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment; however,
modified the areas where the principal residency requirement would exist.
Planning Commission recommended that all properties east of Baltic Avenue,
including the properties with property frontage on Baltic Avenue, would be
permitted as a matter of right if all requirements of Section 241.2 were met. All
properties west of Baltic Avenue would be permitted by right if all requirements of
Section 241.2 are met and the property is the principal residence of the operator.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. Opposition was present at the public
hearing.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this request
by a vote of 9-0, amended as described above.

i the Old Beach Overlay District
20
Virginia Beach
Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 1903 of the City Zoning Ordinance allowing certain Short Term Rentals as permitted
uses in the Old Beach Overlay District.
This Ordinance is requested by Councilman Guy Tower, Beach District and was referred to the Planning Commission by
City Council
Summary of Request
The Old Beach Overlay District, Section 1903 of the Zoning Ordinance,was established in December, 2005.The purpose
of the District is to preserve and enhance the historic status of the Old Beach neighborhood as one of the first residential
areas within the Ocean Front Resort area.The Ordinance is written to encourage compatible multi-family development
and cottage-style single-family homes appropriate for this District.A number of different zoning districts permitting
single-family, duplex and multi-family development exist within the boundaries of the Old Beach Overlay; however,the
overall character of the neighborhood is residential.
The Old Beach Overlay District permits Short Term Rentals as a Conditional Use, unless grandfathered. Since the
implementation of the Short Term Rental Ordinance on November 1, 2019, more than thirty applications have been
considered by City Council in the Old Beach neighborhood. Combined with a substantial number of properties that are
grandfathered, concerns have been raised that Short Term Rentals will have a negative impact on the neighborhood.
This amendment would allow Short Term Rentals as a permitted use only in the existing Old Beach Overlay District,
provided two criteria are met.The two criteria are (1)the Short Term Rental must be the principal residence of the
property owner, meaning that they must reside in the residence 183 days per year, and (2)the Short Term Rental must
meet all the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. If the property does not meet these criteria, it
cannot operate as a Short Term Rental.A Conditional Use Permit cannot be applied for.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance amendment. Permitting Short Term Rentals as a matter of right will
alleviate the number of applications reviewed by staff and considered by Planning Commission and City Council, which
have been burdensome since the implementation of the Short Term Rental Ordinance. By making the operation of the
Short Term Rental contingent upon meeting the requirements of the Ordinance, as well as being the principal residence
of the property owner and operator, staff is confident that this amendment would mitigate the negative impacts that
residents of the neighborhood have brought to staff's attention and maintain the residential character of the Old Beach
neighborhood.The operator will be more vested in the care of the property if it is their principal residence, rather than a
property that is an investment property whose owner does not reside in the area.

Items # 20.
City of Virginia Beach
August 12, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: Planning Commissioners the next four items on the Regular Agenda today
are item 18, City of Virginia Beach an ordinance to amend section 104 to
allow civil penalties for the violation of section 241.2, pertaining to short-
term rentals. Item 19,City of Virginia Beach, an ordinance to amend section
241 .2 pertaining to the revocation of grandfathered status and the City
Council findings for short-term rental uses. Item 20, City of Virginia Beach,
an ordinance to amend section 1903, allowing certain short-term rentals as
permitted uses in the Old Beach Overlay District. And, item 21, City of
Virginia Beach, an ordinance to establish transitional rules for the review of
conditional use permits for property in the Old Beach Overlay District. Kevin
Kemp will present these items. Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you, Mr. Landfair. Good afternoon, Commissioners as Bill mentioned
these four items are the referral, the proposed amended ordinance from
Councilman Tower you should be familiar with these items as you reviewed
them twice in July, once following your July 8, Planning Commission
hearing, and then you had a meeting for public comment on July 20, in
which there were approximately 30 speakers at that meeting. I will just
briefly go through these proposed amendments agenda items and explain
each one, agenda item 18 deals with the way we enforce short-term rental
violations. This would change the enforcement from what is now a criminal
violation to a civil penalty. It would allow our inspectors to issue fines $200
penalty for the first violation and then $500 for each additional, it will help
Staff be able to enforce the ordinance and make it a easier and faster way
to get through the process, whereas now they were required to go through
the criminal court proceedings to get to this fine structure. Agenda item 19,
deals with two items, one is the grandfather status of short-term rentals and
the other are required findings for short-term rental uses. The
grandfathering this ordinance proposes that the grandfathering status if a
short-term rental were not used to such for a two-year period would be
revoked by the Planning Director. This aligns with our current ordinance
regulations for nonconforming uses, as the ordinance is written now short-
term rental use if it was grandfathered it runs with the land and it runs in
1
perpetuity. The second item in this amendment are the required findings
and these provide a basis for which Staff, Planning Commission, and City
Council could evaluate and ultimately approve or deny these applications,
briefly go over the four of those. The first is that the density or number of
short-term rentals in the immediate vicinity, do not change the character of
the neighborhood. The second is that parking is readily available onsite
parking is visually appealing and environmentally friendly. This is in a
reaction to what we are seeing where a lot of short-term rentals are paving
their entire yards to meet our parking requirements. The third is that, if there
is an increased occupancy due to the short-term rental use, that occupancy
remains compatible with the residential nature of the neighborhood as to
not create negative impacts such as noise and trash. And, lastly, it
recognizes that short-term rentals are a needed resource, particularly in
areas of the city, that are in close proximity to venues or districts that bring
high number of visitors. Agenda item 20,this deals specifically with the Old
Beach District, the Old Beach Overlay and what it does is, it allows short-
term rentals as a matter of right in the Old Beach Overlay provided that the
properties meet two specific standards. One is that, all requirements of
Section 241 .2 are met. And the second is that the short-term rental property
is the principal residence and owned by the operator. What this would do is
allows for only one short-term rental per property owner. If these
requirements as listed are not met, the way this ordinance is written the
property owner would not have the opportunity to even apply for a CUP in
front of Council. They would either meet the requirements and be able to
operate as a short-term rental or they would be prohibited. Lastly item 21 ,
is a transition ordinance and this ordinance simply states that any property
that submitted an application to the Planning Department following the date,
these referral ordinances were referred to you which is June 9, would be
subject to these new rules immediately upon the approval of these
ordinances. For instance, an application that were submitted today even
though there are different rules than this in place, they would be subject to
the rules once this is approved by Council. I will be available for any
questions should they come up. Thank you Commissioners.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Kemp.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are 19 speakers signed up to speak. The first speaker
is David Grothmal, followed by Joseph Montana. Mr.Grothmal, please state
your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Grothmal: Madam Chairwoman, members of the Commission, I am David
Grothmal. I live at 219A, 68 Street, which is not in the Old Beach Area. But,
2
I believe that what you do today or whenever you do it is going to eventually
make its way throughout the areas that have short-term rentals. My concern
is with the second area, the Council's resolution that sent over the package
of ordinances says they are concerned about the short-term rental rentals
increasing too fast in the Old Beach neighborhood and other areas. And, I
felt like they needed to get a handle on it. I believe the goal is to preserve
these areas as residential neighborhoods and residential neighborhoods
should take precedence over short-term rentals. That means there should
be a majority of residences over short-term rentals. So, what is the majority,
is it 50%, you have 51% residence and 49 short-term rentals. No I do not
think so, it has to be a clear majority. So, I suggest to you that you need to
come up with a number of residences and short-term rentals that clearly
preserves the neighborhood as a primary residence. I am suggesting two
thirds and one-third or 65% and 35%. Using each Street as the place to
measure, if 22nd Street has 35% short-term rentals already then you do not
approve any more short-term rentals. That will make it easy and clear for
everybody to understand what is the maximum of short-term rentals that will
be allowed. I think that is the key to putting a halt on these applications. The
guidelines that you have in place now, do not do anything to halt the growth
of short-term rentals. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions to the gentleman? Okay. Thank you so very
much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joseph Montano. Mr.
Montano is a virtual speaker, Mr. Montano, please pause for three seconds,
so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the
record. Thank you.
Mr. Montano:Good afternoon, Chairwoman Oliver and members of the Virginia Beach
Planning Commission. My name is Joseph Montana and I serve as the
Virginia Beach Government Affairs Manager for Expedia Group and its
family of travel brands. I would like to thank you all for the opportunity to
comment on Virginia Beach's efforts to amend existing short-term rental
law. By way of background Expedia Group is the world's travel platform with
leading websites such as Expedia.com, Orbitz, travelocity.com and many
others. We service the entire travel ecosystem from hotels and airlines to
rental cars and vacation rental. Our vacation rental company Vrbo is the
world leader in traditional or whole home vacation rentals. For 25 years Vrbo
and our local homeowners have been focused on serving travelling families.
In fact, our average customer booking travel on our platform is a 50-year-
old woman traveling with a family of four. that long standing focus on
3
responsible travel, translates to our collaborative approach to fair and
effective policies. Over the course of the last two months we have hosted
virtual town halls with our partners here in town, and it is been incredible to
hear their stories. Our property owner and manager partners have been
members of the Virginia Beach Community for decades. They find immense
pride in welcoming travelling families in their small slice of heaven and are
eager to comply with regulations set forth by this governing body. However,
both Expedia Group and our community of homeowners, managers, and
small business leaders are concerned with the current proposal, specifically
with regards to proposed amendment banning owners from offering
secondary homes or non-primary residences in certain areas of the city. We
believe there could be a better path forward that addresses the concerns of
the community, while at the same time protecting Virginia Beach's long
history of welcoming families to hold home rental. Expedia Group has
learned from hundreds of local efforts over the last 10 years that policies
work best when governments and platforms work together. A holistic
solution could help Virginia Beach in three key areas, tax collection,
compliance, and reasonable limits and they could include the following
platform tools. Vrbo would create a mandatory field for owners to enter their
short-term rental permit number in the same format as issued by the City.
Vrbo would also display the permit numbers on all new listings and existing
property list. Vrbo would remove any existing listing that does not display a
permit number and will prohibit any listings that do not display a permit
number. An alternative to the current primary only restriction that has
worked in other markets is a cap of 180 days per property. The city wide
180 day cap would allow Virginia Beach residents with a second home to
participate in the short-term rental market, would also dissuade individuals
looking solely for investment properties to put on a short-term rental market.
This policy of 180 day cap is one that Vrbo would support. As the leader in
traditional vacation rentals we stand ready to be a partner to you and your
Staff to ensure that the tradition of whole home vacation rentals continues
to be a part of Virginia Beach, vibrant accommodations marketplace. Thank
you again for your time and consideration.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Gretchen Heal, followed by
Betsy Atkinson. Ms. Heal, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Heal: Good afternoon. I am Gretchen Heal I work for the Hampton Roads Realtors
Association, and based on some of your comments in this morning session
4
I answered a few of our questions but I do have a few statements that they
have asked me to share with you on these four items. The Hampton Roads
Realtors Association recognizes the need to have property owners comply
with guidelines for operating short-term rentals and our members try to
ensure positive experiences for the neighbors of all the STRs that they
manage as well as the tourists visiting the city. However, we do have a few
concerns with the zoning violations that are different than others. And, again
you have addressed some of those concerns this morning, so, depending
on what you end up with your final decision that may go away. On this
second one, the grandfather clause, on this change we would ask you
consider including some more specific language on the parameters for
inactivity on a property that is scheduled to have its grandfather status
removed, when does the clock of the two years start, just a little more
definition around it, so, that people would know what those parameters are.
And, for all of the items if I am misunderstanding and I apologize but in 241.2
it applies to Sandbridge, and we would like that all any changes you make
do not apply to Sandbridge as far as short term rentals are concerned. That
is all.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Heal: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Betsy Atkinson, followed by
Paige Miyares. Ms. Atkinson, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Atkinson: Hi, I am Betsy Atkinson I am glad to be here to speak to you today.
We are teaming up a little bit here, but I would like to specifically talk about
grandfathering, I was on some of the original committees that created some
of these ordinances and one of the things that we all agreed on with that if
your grandfather the property it ran with the land. And, now you are trying
to take away the grandfathering by reducing it to only that you do not use it
for two years then you would not have the right to keep the grandfathering.
I would highly suggest to you to please not approve this. We have a lot of
situations, especially in the North End where, might be a mom and a dad
and then they might pass away the kids might move into the house and then
they might stay there a couple of years and then want to go back to having
short-term rentals like they had before. And,it is also good for marketing, if
somebody has a home that is been grandfathered with short-term rentals
and they will have the ability to continue short-term rentals without having
5
to come back to the CPU. So, I thank you very much for listening to me and
I hope you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Paige Miyares, followed by
Jim Moffat. Ms. Miyares, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Miyares:Paige Miyares. Thank you Madam Chair. Myname is Paige Miyaresand I
am the principal broker of Atkinson Realty. I just want to say that the crux
of this issue really add it as a tourism issue. And, behind it is whether our
city really supports tourism and people coming here to spend their hard
earned money in our city. I think the consumer has spoken pretty loudly that
they want to stay in our cottages and especially in a post COVID-19 world,
habits of how we work vacation are changing even more rapidly. Many of
our business have expressed that they are on life support with the COVID
shutdown. And, the question I would ask is why are we looking at policies
that prohibit visitors to our city. Why are we pushing them to Myrtle Beach
and OBX, those are our competitors. As far as these regulations, there are
a couple often encouraging signs to me, one is the fact that there is
something that actually says it is a needed resource in our city. I think that
is true and again I think the consumer has echoed that and then just the
change to the parking, because the discussion around parking just it goes
on and on, it is almost arbitrary, it seems a little capricious to me from an
outside perspective. And, so, something that says visually appealing and
environmentally responsible that is helpful to kind of cut through some of
measuring this it has to have this many spaces. The reality of these families
coming to visit is that they do not bring,it is a four bedroom house they are
not bringing four cars, I mean that is how it works practically. And, the other
thing I do just want to address is that it is very disturbing to see the new,
there is even been discussion here about do we follow the rules, do we go
outside the rules, do we add provisions, do we not add provisions and that
seems to be a little bit of an internal discussion, but to see some of these
applicants who has had their applications in since January, and how these
arbitrary amendments to limit the occupancy and to limit the amount of
reservations per week is troubling from an on looking citizen. And, it really
changed the dynamics for my family would increase the cost of vacation to
Virginia Beach and not by a little when you play with those numbers. So, I
think that has to be a consideration as we go forward and I think there are
ways to partner in a private public type setting to help increase the
accountability for these things and take the backlog off of the city. The
6
Beach borough making it by right which is something in one of the
ordinances, I support that for our communities that hug the shoreline, for
sure, because that is where we have traditionally had them that is where
the character of our neighborhoods include them. And, there should be
some by right pieces to the zoning that come forward. So just to know I
probably out of time, but I just want to reiterate that at the crux of this is, are
we a city that want families to come and stay here, do we want them to
come and spend their money here. We as an industry love these
neighborhoods, we want to protect them, we want them to be great places
to live, we have been and shown to be good partners with these
neighborhoods for over 80 years with the business that I do. So, is there is
any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions. No. Thank you, Paige.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is John Moffat, followed by Lynn
Hume. Mr. Moffat, please state your name for the record. Thankyou.
Mr. Tajan: Bill, I think it supposed to be Jim.
Mr. Landfair: Jim Moffat?
Mr. Tajan: Yes.
Mr. Moffat: I am not speaking.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry, okay. So, the next speaker is Lynn Hume.
Mr. Hume: Hello, my name is Lynn Hume and it is hard to believe we are back up here
again discussing short-term rentals. I have been a property owner in the
Shore Drive area since 1980s and I have got long-term rentals and short-
term rentals, that are grandfathered that have always been considered
second homes and vacation homes and they were built in the 50s and 70s.
Due to COVID-19, I am sure that many property owners have had to change
some of the short-term rentals in the long-term. Personally, we put some
doctors in one of our rentals, who were working in local hospitals, they left
for a while and now they want to come back and do a long-term rental. I
want to emphasize that as grandfathered properties are zoning and property
rights were already set last year, our current rights exist. Item19, the 24
month rule, allows the possibility to lose our grandfathered status, health,
economy, and various personal circumstances could change the use of our
property for a period of time, current rights should remain not subject to
being dismissed if not used in the 24 month period. This is not a conditional
7
use permit, grandfathered should run with the land. Item 18 allows for
harassment from neighbors and subject owners to either pay a fine,
considered guilty, or may to defend themselves. It appears that hateful
rhetoric from anti-short-term rental people has generated this amendment
to appease those who always dislike short-term rentals. We attended one
of those all Civic League Meetings this winter and the attitude, for snitching
and telling on people was rampant. Actually, it was like being in a foreign
country, a trash can left out too long could generate the report and fine. I
am not aware of any loud or disruptive short-term rentals in the Bay Area,
Cape Story, Ocean Park, and Shore Drive. Many people speaking
negatively do not even have short-term rentals near them. In comparison,
homeowners and long-term rentals create parking, noise, and trash
problems, and there are laws to deal with them. It is normal for residents in
the Beach Area to park cars, have parties, and big gatherings. It is the
beach. We have already spent two or three years hashing out the zoning
rules and in this troubled time with COVID-19, people are not aware of this
issue, it is come up again. It is our retirement income as well as many
others, and we planned according to these rules. We take pride in our
properties, you will be down zoning our current property rights, pleased
enough for the subject grandfathered properties to the threat of losing our
rights are subject us to targeted harassment and fines. Please leave the
grandfathered rules the way they are now without changes. Thanks for your
consideration.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair the next speaker on this item is Elaine Fekete, followed by
Joan Davis. Ms. Fekete, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Fekete: Hi, good afternoon. My name is Elaine Fekete and I moved to Sandbridge
25 years ago. I chose to live there even knowing that all the houses around
me were rentals and had been so for 50 years. So, the false narrative that
this is a new thing that we have to deal with is quite to the contrary. It is also
a false narrative that all short-term rentals are party houses. 11 years ago,
my husband and I started renting our home on a weekly basis and quickly
found that there was a demand for the shoulder seasons in the holidays, we
get people here who are parents of military children that are coming to visit
and want to stay under one roof. Parents who are traveling with their
children in the traveling sports leagues, business travelers who want to
bring their families and make a vacation of it, or families who simply cannot
afford to take off seven days from work. When we have renters, we move
out and we are not alone. Other owners move out of their homes at least
during the peak season. Still others use their second homes as rentals, so,
8
when the renters are not there the owners are. So, this brings me to the
same question I asked two years ago. How will the restrictions be enforced
when the home is owner occupied versus renter occupied? How will you
even know the difference? I am curious to know how many $25 trash
citations have been issued in the city in the last year, have they been issued
but resulted in no change in behavior or being ignored because if we are
not even forcing the $25 ones for the whole city, what is the point of adding
punitive ones to the rentals and how will you know if owners like myself are
the ones leaving the trash cans out versus the guest, how cumbersome is
that and I say cumbersome because the recommendations sent to you
states that it will make enforcement more timely and efficient and will
increase the ability to regulate short-term rental use without having to
navigate the somewhat cumbersome court process, I am kind of missing
the due process part there. Make no mistake the choice to stay in a home
versus a hotel is based on preference and availability. If summer guests
cannot rent homes here, they will go straight to the Outer Banks in Myrtle
Beach like Paige was saying. If parents with children in sports tournaments
cannot rent our homes during the tournament's, they will go inland.
Ordinance 241 .2 only went into effect last November,just three months later
in February Members of Council were ready to send it back to address
lessons learned. What lessons were learned from November to February?
There is zero evidence to support that all of the adjustments made by
homeowners and realty companies in the last year to conform to 241 .2 did
or did not work. There is no basis to go back to square one and debate
each and every component, and that is what will happen. I even heard the
word exit signs at the last Council Meeting. The ongoing hysteria that short-
term rentals are bad for neighborhoods is anecdotal and it is the exception
rather than the rule, you state that they should not change the characteristic
of the neighborhood and 99% of the cases they do not. A judge and I
believe it was Austin ruled that a family sitting at a dinner table in a
residence is a family sitting at a dinner table in a residence whether they
are the homeowners or whether they are the renters. But, the request to
review this situation was sent to you with terminology that reads additional
noise, trash, and other possible nuisances, and it is asking you to assume
that the negative connotations Council sees on STRs is fact based and not
biased. Our trashcans really the problem, just because you were asked to
review these regulations does not mean you have to conclude that changes
are needed at this point. You can determine that we should at least look at
what has been done and see if it works first. Thank you for listening.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joan Davis, followed by
Gayle Mottola. Ms. Davis, please state your name for the record.
Speaker: Joan is not here.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry. Okay. So, we will move on to Erica Atkins. Next speaker is
Erica Atkins. Ms. Atkins is a virtual speaker. Ms. Atkins, please pause for
three seconds, so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your
name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Atkins: Hi, this is Erica Atkins, I agree with everything that the previous speaker
said, I do not feel like there is been enough time to really gauge what affects
the short-term rentals in this area have under the new rules and regulations
and I really think that there should be more time before any other changes
are put into place.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, we do have Gayle Mottola here.
Ms. Mottola: Good afternoon. I am Gayle Mottola I live at 115, 88th Street in Virginia
Beach. I support the comments made by Mrs. Parker from the July, 20,
2020, Public Hearing. The beach and fourth story located above Shore
Drive are daytime activities for visitors, not requiring overnight
accommodations. Stewardship of history and the preservation of natural
habitat is questioned as the Planning Commission and Zoning Commission
first quietly and then outwardly tried to change a residential one single family
neighborhood with some duplexes into two homes per small lot, often with
different principal owners who can then rent out their properties with a
conditional status of short-term rental. A case in point is a recent variance
recommended fora builder from Richmond by zoning, who after the hearing
told his perspective neighbors, he plan to live in one home, but he already
had a potential buyer for the second structure on the same lot. That means
two principal owners per lot, both of whom, who could apply for STR status.
Given, that there are six potential buildings going up on the same block of
88th Street, which was once the Cape Henry Syndicate bought from the
Cape Henry Park a land company in 1899, and plotted in 1900, for single
family homes. The density of that block increases by how many people and
how many cars. A second case, we just welcomed unemployed couple of
working age with their three younger children as they moved into the
neighborhood. Is not this what Virginia Beach model a City of a lifetime
means, are we losing residents. Have they not insisted that they have legal
parking spaces instead of the illegal ones put in by then owner of the two
10
structures on the nonconforming land to meet parking requirements for STR
stop. Those parking spaces were in the city signed, no parking zone at the
ocean side corner of 88thStreet and Atlantic making visibility obstructed to
enter Atlantic Avenue. Then the neighborhood would have had to endure
four bedrooms at three persons per bedroom and how many cars if every
two people had one car, the answer, 12 people six cars. The summer the
corner duplex at 201 , 87th was approved and the bedroom was approved
also at 116, 88th Street and now 114-A and B are for sale. They have eight
bedrooms. That could mean a total in two rentals per week of 48 people,
i.e., three times eight bedrooms times two, meaning also a great over limit
of cars. A traffic jam for delivery trucks meeting those looking for a free
parking space to go to the beach occurs regularly in the summer now. The
primary tourist area charges up to $10 for a few hours. The powers that
were made the historic North End especially about Shore Drive 2015, a
district based on the Old Beach Overlay of 2005, distinctly near hotels and
motels and home renting rooms in the well-established tourist area that has
been since 1906. But, that is not the North End demographic, many homes
have passed down to children and grandchildren, the North End is a
residential area with mostly permanent residents and those who come to
enjoy their beach home for the summer. Traffic is another matter, which I
will not address. Again, the beach and Fort Story, a historic part of our city
that Cape Henry area should be treasured and should not go to make
commercial profit. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Mike Megge, followed by
Chris Edel.
Mr. Megge: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Members of Council. I would like to
thank all your hard work on this issue. I am here today to point out we spent
years coming up with his current ordinance. And, as owners we have
worked and planned our futures on the agreement that we came up with
less than a year ago. As you know, restricting property rights of citizens by
changing zoning laws as a taking and by such the government should justly
compensate those owners. If it does cause harm to those owners, and I
hope we do not go down that road. I understand if you feel the need to
further restrict short-term rentals with conditional use permits as is you are
right. But I would like to see the data that the city has compiled for these
changes. I again, I asked you to protect the existing rights of the
grandfathered and by right STR owners. I know this issue has been
contentious, but we all came together over the past several years with
11
many, many meetings, public hearings and we came up with a draft a
compromised ordinance that was thoroughly debated, voted on, and
passed by both the Planning Commission and City Council. The new
proposal would be a little like telling an owner of a duplex, if he owns a
duplex zoned lot, that if you do not build that duplex in the next two years,
you are going to lose that right. I just do not think that is the right way of
going. Also, giving zoning inspectors policing rights, allowing them to issue
monetary fines without due process is a very slippery slope. I just do not
see how that would be legal, if it is not applied equally to all renters or to all
property owners by that right. Again, I just think it is a slippery slope and an
enormous overreach by the government. Mr. Kemp said it would be easier
for the city to enforce, but I believe due process should be shaded on the
side of the owner and not on government. Like I said before, you have the
right to restrict new STRs with conditional use permits, but again I would
like to see that data, why you are restricting them since we have just came
up with an ordinance less than a year ago. But, again I would like to stress
that the current ordinance should be respected and the rights of current
STRs must be protected. Thank you very much,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Chris Edel, followed by Steve
Bishard.
Mr. Edel: Good afternoon, Madam Chairman and members of Planning Commission.
My name is Chris Edel, I do have some handouts from around, hopefully
you will have a copy of. I am here today primarily to speak with regards to
Old Beach where myself and have a partner Bob Taylor, we have
approximately 10 short-term rentals that are all approved by Council, and in
operation. Okay, so my company VB Holmes has been building at the beach
for over 30 years now. We were very active with an Old Beach particularly
with the overlay that they put together, we partner with a neighborhood to
find a way to improve the character of the neighborhood, reduced density if
possible. And, I think we put that together with Barbara Yates and since that
time, over the last eight years our company alone has invested over $10
million in redevelopment of that neighborhood, and what you have before
you here is just a few examples, most of which are east of Baltic, but on the
first page you have 317, 26th Street, this was a tired 50-year-old six unit
apartment building that now is to the right you will see the after which is now
two single family homes, that 317, 26th Street that operated for probably
over 30 years as a short-term rental. I know that for a fact by the person
bought it from, Mary Grace Thomas had ran that year round and as well as
short-term rentals. Below that, on 27th and Arctic, you can see it is an older
12
55-year-old eight unit apartment complex and we partnered with the
Georgia Joyce Seco that you are going to hear from this afternoon as well,
to take that from eight tired apartments to four new single family homes and,
so, those are just a few examples. The next page one more example on
27th and Arctic, that was a four unit again, very tired blighted property that
had been rundown. And, now there are two brand new single family homes
on that property, so,that is an example of just a few that we have done and
there is certainly others, but I wanted to point that out. The next page, page
three is called Old Beach Revitalization Future Opportunities, these two
properties one at 417, 24th Street 10 unit apartment property and then 416,
24th is a duplex both pretty old tired properties, owned by Mark Ulmer. He
could not be here today, but he asked me to share with you his thoughts on
whether or not he would redevelop these properties and he said to me, he
said Chris I have had these properties for years and if I am not able to
redevelop these as short-term rentals, I am just going to keep them the way
they are, I am just going to keep bandaging them up, they would not go
away, why because there is no economic reason, there is no financial
reason for him to improve these properties. So, he wanted me to share that
with you and these are just a couple examples of others that he owns, he
owns many properties. Page 4, 308, 25th-and-a-half again you can see a
very tired old duplex that I have involved with and the owner of that property.
The one below that 2602, Baltic Avenue, which is a 50-year-old five unit
apartment building facing Baltic, again all of these are Baltic East. But, these
are a couple properties that need to go away, they need to have brand new
single family homes and will have those, but they would not if we are going
to get too restricted in what we can do with those. The next page is actually
the Old Beach Overlay, this is right out of the guidelines, the map here.
Okay, great, because this is just a suggestion and something that we have
talked about and that is, if you see the orange line which is highlighting
Baltic Avenue and this runs right through Old Beach, most of this is Old
Beach. But, if you look from the orange line Baltic Avenue East towards the
ocean, most all of that is rental property and in zone that way, as you look
from Baltic Avenue or Western Baltic Avenue, it becomes more residential,
more year round residents living there. So,it somewhat splits the
neighborhood, but the reasons are simple it is because of the proximity to
the resort and all the things that we want our guests coming here to enjoy
and take advantage of. So, one suggestion is to potentially use that as a
development zone for having short-term rentals East or Baltic Avenue East
that would not require conditional use, but that you would potentially require
conditional use west of Baltic Avenue. And, then the next page, which is just
13
a summary that Bob Taylor and I put together just some thoughts and some
suggestions, ideas. First and foremost, the fact that Old Beach is being
singled out as the only area in the beach, that would require a short-term
rentals to be someone's principal residence, I just do not understand that at
all. Effectively, we are saying, we are not going to have any short-term
rentals. There are many people including myself and again I have told you,
we have invested millions of dollars in Old Beach and we do not own all of
these properties, we do sell some. But, the ones that we do own that is out
the window down for us, and many others that you're going to hear from
here today. And, I do not understand why that would make for a better
experience, just because someone is their principal residence and very
likely they are not even living their while the rentals taking place. So, at any
rate, that is one it certainly we do not agree with. And, the next paragraph
noise and trash, again I do not think that some of the other speakers have
said that there is really any evidence here that there is a real problem issue
with specifically with just short-term rentals in that regard. But, if we need to
have more trash cans we will buy more trash cans and that is fine and that
is going to help solve the issue, I do not know, I am not sure. It does state
in the ordinance that the short-term rentals are needed resource in certain
areas of the city located in close proximity to venues, districts, and areas
that generate high volume of people or visitors. Where else in the world is
a better example than Old Beach, we were right down the others ordinary.
I mean, that to me is a perfect place, and now we have the new sports
complex, all these families come to the sports complex sure some are going
to go hotel, but not all want to go to hotels, there are families traveling here.
They want a safe environment, they can come, maybe cook some meals in
the house, and we provide that for them in very close proximity. The
ordinance change about imposing fines, that is fine because if you want to
make bigger fines we want to be the model example for professional
managed short-term rentals, so, we do not plan on breaking rules. And, if
we do and there is a larger fine so be it, so we are okay with that. But, the
end there are opportunities to consider certainly the OR Oceanfront Resort,
I do not feel and neither does my partner feel like that should be even
included as a conditional use permit it is just going to bog down the system
there is hotels and motels all over the OR and I do not feel like that should
be even necessary. The second page there, that I did speak to just a little
bit ago and we are referring to as an approved short-term rental zone again
Baltic Avenue East is what we are recommending and that is where the
guests want to go. They want to be down and they are close to the resort
area. Professional management, I can tell you all of our rentals are
14
professionally managed, I think that is key. There are many people out there
trying to either do it themselves or maybe some of these people that live in
their home may be trying to do it, but there is no substitute for professional
management and all of ours are that way and I would suggest that maybe
there is a way to incorporate that in the ordinance that they need to be
professionally managed. There is a workshop and that you all had and just
talking about a couple points there, parking there was a discussion about
garages, okay garages should not be included. I can tell you in our
properties that have garages that can fit a car, we use them, in someone's
home you are going to put stuff in there, beach tear, bikes, or whatever may
be, but in the short-term rental you do not need a place for all that stuff. So,
we might have a couple beach tears, but that is about it and, so, we do use
them for parking I would suggest that that would be something that should
count. Number of stays a week, right now the ordinance is two stays a week
and I think that it is a great compromise. Not everybody can afford a week's
vacation, there is plenty of guests that want to come to Virginia Beach, but
they can only do a long weekend three or four days and so, I think it is totally
appropriate to be able to allow for that. Number of occupants, right now
currently three per bedroom. I know speaking for myself and my partner I
would be fine if we limit the house itself to 10 or 15. We are not looking for
the big mega events and that that kind of goes to the next item events. We
do not want the big parties, we actually prohibit parties in our homes. So,
again, that is just something that that we are not interested in, we are happy
if we want to reduce the number of people, you think that would be helpful.
Our typical profile of guests are families that are traveling here to the beach,
one last thing on signage on the back.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry Chris.
Mr. Edel: Eddie told me I had 10 minutes, so, I guess I can have 10 minutes. Oh it's
10 minutes? Oh my god, I am sorry. Alright, thank you all.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Steve Bishard, followed by
Joyce Sico.
Mr. Bishard: Good morning. Thank you for allowing me to speak, I have some handouts.
My named Steven Bishard, Bishard Homes in related entities. I just want
to speak about in general, the short-term rental ordinance proposal, I feel
like you should give it a time to season. Give it time to see if it works. We
really have not had a chance to see if the recently adopted ordinance is
going to work or not. Anyhow, about 15 years ago at the request of Karen
Lesley the Zoning Administrator in the past and Barbara Yates, I was asked
15
to serve on the Old Beach Overlay District Committee to come up with a
compatible residential redevelopment ordinance that would do away or try
to do away in the proper way of three storey box duplexes and successfully
served on that committee, and I think we can say that we have seen the
results of the resiliency and the transformation that is taking place in the Old
Beach Community by number one the city, number two the community, and
number three private business developers working together, and I
appreciate the comment it is like a prerecorded speaker earlier, the best
way to deal with this is when all the parties come together, partner together,
listen to one another and come up with agreeable solutions to a business
enterprise short-term rentals. That is a needed way for families to vacation.
Some of them do not want to go to hotels. Some of them want to go to
homes, I prefer to go to homes, my wife loves to go to homes, particularly
in an environment like COVID-19, I would not want to go to a hotel, I want
to go to a house that is just recently been cleaned and it is safer for people
and people feel better about it. Anyway, over those last 15 years since 2005,
when that committee started and successfully produced a great ordinance.
We have done a tremendous amount of redevelopment you will see it in the
packet. We also acquired tremendous amount of rental properties, when we
bought these properties, we took them up to the next level of standard. We
did not leave them as blighted properties, we brought them up. I will say
that many of the properties that we purchased though, very much were
blighted properties. As Chris Edel mentioned I echo what he shared today.
Some of these properties we bought their rentals that rented for $600 to
$800 a month. There was a high turnover rate and they were problematic.
Since, I have entered the short-term rental business it has not been that
long. I can tell you that the management company that I have, same one
Chris Edel has stellar performance, had no problems. They are proactive
and matter of fact, the management company that we use to hire lives right
in the Old Beach community. I mean he walks, rides his bike through the
community, checks on the properties that he manages. So, I think,
management, I think you agree is a critical component, the proper proactive
management of these properties through a professional company. So, as I
was saying we have recently entered the short-term rental business hired
Knob LLC, lives in the Old Beach Community and they found that the short-
term rentals have less management problems, less calls than year around
rentals have. We are having a much better time with a lot less problems
with the short-term rentals from a management perspective. And, the spirit
of me being up here today is a spirit of partnership. When I served on the
committee in 2005, I embraced what they wanted to do and had been
16
working in that community since then, buying rental properties in that
community since then. And, I see myself as a resident, not Old Beach I live
in Lincoln Park, but a resident of the city that really cares about that
community. I do not want to see that community, go down. I think actually
what has happened is it is going up and the short-term rental business is
helping that, I do not see that it has hurting it. I have asked the question
with an open mind, how many problems have you seen in the Old Beach
Community ,this is from the management company I was referring to, has
not seen a problem in the Old Beach Community, you can speak him later.
I am not sure he has had to evict one person had to have a police to a
property. So, we appreciate the desire, but I just hope that we will open up
to what the reality really is, come up with a viable solution through partnering
with the community, businesses, and the city that is working hard on it to
have a solution that we can go on with. One of the ideas that that came up
was having a short-term rental sign on each of the short-term rental
properties, that if somebody does have a problem they can call the
management company, very quickly. This will be a uniform, attractive,
standardized sign that we could have throughout the Old Beach. If you have
a problem just call the management company on the side. Again, manager
lives in the neighborhood. One of the things that I have seen since I have
entered the business, the expenditures to keep these properties at the
highest level, they are up there. I mean we are spending some serious
money to take landscaping to the next point, to the next level, decks, any
kind of amenities that people might want, we are spending a lot more money
than we do year around rentals and we need to. Some of the suggestions,
as I mentioned before, what about a taskforce, a committee to come
together, guys like myself, Chris Edel, and others, will meet with the
community of the Old Beach. Be glad to meet with them and come up with
something that works for example, anything East Baltic Avenue with a Baltic
Avenue address east to the ocean, maybe that is a buy right short-term
rental. If it is in some of the more year around residential streets maybe that
is a conditional use permit. Consider giving it some time for this ordinance
to really sink in and see if it works. I really do not think we have given it
enough time to see if it works and if it does not work, I think we can find
some solutions to make it work. In the spirit of partnership, our company
just wants to be a model, an example for how to manage it, to be
responsible, willing to give our phone number out. I have met with a few of
the Planning Commissioners, we are here, I mean we live close, want to
talk to us management company is not doing it we are here. We are
available and we will be available and continue to be so. I just want to close
17
by pointing out two properties on this handout I gave you. You can take a
look. I think on your handout a little different than my handouts as far as the
way it's laid out. Take a look atpage six, and then we will go to page seven
after that. We bought this property at 501, 504, 25th Street and 2500, 2512,
25-1/2 when we bought it, guy was running a gambling operation there. I
knew it because I knew somebody who kept going to it, it is a friend of mine
I grew up with and he was running a black market gambling operation there
and he had five or six little shack units I guess the people that would come
and gamble there and would stay there. We bought this property, turn it into
four beautiful houses. Now, we sold these houses but nevertheless this is
really enhanced the neighborhood in a dynamic way. And, then if you go to
seven, this is a property many of you have seen across from the Old Beach,
very nice Middle School on 24th Street, Mediterranean Avenue. This is an
individual that I bought from, he owned these two houses and had a lot of
people packed in his house, way more units than what we put back on it.
We put six units back on it, we did again sell these but this is an example of
how you can take multi units, reduce the density, and you can either sell
them, you can rent them year round, or relate to this specific meeting today,
you can do short-term rentals. We own a property at 426, 23rd Street
recently and I thank you, you all approved the short-term rental application
for us, has three units on it. If I see, it makes sense I am going to tear that
old build down and put two units on it, brand new homes and might be a
way for me to redevelop a neighborhood that Barbara Yates back in 2005,
was proactively and actively eager to redevelop with the community. So,
anyway, I appreciate you listening, do give it a chance, I think there is an
opportunity to have a win, win for everybody in the situation. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes, I am sorry, go ahead.
Mr. Redmond: Mr.Bishard, do not come back up, but I wanted to respond to
something that you said I think it is something that there is just repeating
and a lot of thought I am a sucker for landscaping. I do not think it is that
complicated stuff, but it makes an enormous difference, and to you and Mr.
Edel and to the other folks who do this, I know that you do a good job of it.
And, I would just like for the general good to say, if you take a property and
you make it the sparkling property on the street, it is very difficult to be
villainized. And, a lot of the people who might otherwise criticize or complain
or have a problem with anything that you do are pretty easily disarmed when
they can trash their own place to the sparkling house on the street or houses
as the case may be, so I appreciate you bringing that up, I do think that
landscaping particularly intensive, well designed, appropriate landscaping
18
can make a big difference in the appearance of these properties. And,
think that makes a giant difference in all of our communities, not just Old
Beach or the Oceanfront or Shore Drive or anywhere else. So, I appreciate
you bringing that piece up and I repeat it because I think it is something that
we all want to keep in mind, and in the development community particularly
that is a difference maker and something I think can kind of help carry the
day forward. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Landfair.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joyce Sico, followed by
George Sico.
Ms. Sico: Hi, I am Joyce Sico, and I am 70 years old and I am retired, and my dream
has just about come true, because I owned when you get the flyers, the
property in the top picture, which was 2606 and 2608, and it was about a
50-year-old apartment building that was really good to be a chore to keep
fixed and I worked with Chris Edel and we developed it into four single family
homes, and the landscaping is beautiful on most homes I might add and I
kept two for myself. And, they are leased yearly I do not do weeklies, but in
the future I do not want to be an owner occupied at this time. I will in the
future probably in about five years, I plan on living in one. And, I will either
do weeklies in one or I might live in mine for nine months and do weeklies
and all the three months in the summer and travel and that is really my
dream. I have worked for over 25 years, keeping this property in shape and
then developing it. And, I have a daughter in New York, who will eventually
owner occupy the second home. And, she is the only daughter I have left,
have one grandson and one great granddaughter, and that is my dream to
have my family here something to hand it down to them. But, with the new
ordinance, I could not really do the weeklies like I would like to until that
point. So, thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is George Sico, followed by
Frank Ramaekers.
Mr. Sico: Good afternoon. I am George Sico, I have the property on 400 and 402,
26-1/2 Street. And, originally, as we said before it was eight apartment units,
we did summer rental for 25 years and we only had three parking places,
and the whole thing we coped everybody we worked with it, and we did not
have a big problem with it. Nobody really complained even our neighbors
did not. So, we decided to redevelop it because the lifetime of the building
19
was pretty much it was his lifetime 50 years. My wife said we are planning
on living in one and sometimes rent the other one out for a short-term rental,
the way it stands now, I would not be able to probably do that, but the
property changed now. And, the thing about the parking is that we have had
construction on the Hyatt on 27th and Atlantic and is not complaining about
the parking, since they have been all summer long. They cannot use the
parking lot at the Hyatt because that is been used for the summer. So, they
come down and contractors are parked all along Artic Avenue and 27th,right
in front of our places, which has not been a problem, but I do not know about
the problem with the parking with the short-term route. If they had more than
two cars, they had three cars there is still room to park, if you want to on the
street it is a matter of just opinion and where you are going to park the cars.
And, there is garages too which I do not understand why you cannot use a
garage as a third parking space, you have got room for three cars, not two
in the driveway. And, I just do not understand this, how we are going to go
through all this again. But, anyways, that is my statement. Thank you for
hearing me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Frank Ramaekers, followed
by Eddie Bourdon.
Mr. Ramaekers: Okay. Our family purchased two residential homes 318, 27th Street.
First of all, I am Frank Ramaekers III. I reside at 429, 26th Street in Virginia
Beach in the Old Beach neighborhood. Our family purchased two residential
homes 318, 27th Street and built in 1935, which you can see on the second
page, it is a great home. And,429, 26thStreet built in 1939, both homes have
been placed in the Virginia Beach historical register with bronze plaque
attached to both homes. The homes have been remodeled and preserved
in original construction dating back to the 1930s, does preserving the Old
Beach neighborhood. They are kept in immaculate condition to appease our
guests and to develop superb curb appeal for the Old Beach neighborhood.
429, 26this my permanent residence and is shared during the summer
months with guests who visit Virginia Beach ad surrounding area. 318, 27th
Street is a short-term rental year around 365 days a year. We also have a
10 unit apartment complex located on 26th Street, which is kept in
immaculate condition every single blade of grass is cut perfectly. It is our
neighborhood, my neighborhood, my three children, my wife, and my
parents also involve and residing in this neighborhood and it is important to
us that everything is kept perfect. I also host numerous homes in Old Beach
neighborhood and I use the term host because I interact with the guests to
20
be sure the visit to our city is excellent, is flawless. Every guest when they
enter the home, receive a binder. You look in the last page, you will see
what it states. Upon the arrival of guests we see this binder and they agreed
to the rules and regulations, which they are stated here in the binder and
they also agreed to them electronically when they make the reservation
through Vrbr Airbnb. I just want to publicly state these rules and regulations
which guests agree to, it says "hello guest, thank you for choosing our
home, welcome to Virginia Beach to beach life, relax, and enjoy. Check in
time is four and checkout is 11, please make note of these times as our
cleaning staff needs this time thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the hall."
Especially during this time COVID-19, our guests appreciate the homes
because they are thoroughly sanitized, we do a CDC recommended
cleaning in the homes. Your home is in a residential area and your
neighbors reside here all year. We understand you are here to relax and
enjoy our beautiful beaches, but please respect their privacy and the
Virginia City Ordinance of quiet hours from 10pm to 7am. Virginia Beach
City violation of these quiet hours will result in immediate departure. I have
had hundreds of reservations through our homes in the homes that I also
host, and I have not had any problems, zero problems with the guests. At
this current time, I have over 100 guests, my phone does not ring. So, I do
not understand why the ordinances must be changed because I have zero
issues at the present time .Down at the bottom parking, designated parking
is provided for you. You may park two vehicles in the driveway, one vehicle
in the garage, please do not block the sidewalk, as it is disrespectful to the
pedestrians and our neighbors, you will be towed if blocking the sidewalk.
If you need additional parking please contact somebody "me" and I can
direct you to the parking. There is a public parking garage on 25th street, I
direct individuals there and I tell them it is $20 a night and in New York City's
$100 a night. And, that is where they park at if necessary. We always the
parking is controlled thoroughly. You guys have any questions, I appreciate
your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Ramaekers: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Eddie Bourdon, followed by
Samuel Jones.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Landfair, Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the
record Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney I do not have a handout.
The first thing I want to talk about is, I want to say, Mr. McGee's comments
21
on item 18, because I and my clients do not have any problems with the
fines, but his one comment was spot on not to say, other ones were not.
The fact that we are putting a scarlet letter on short-term rentals by having
these fines that only apply to short-term rentals does not make sense to me
because I guarantee you, I have not asked Mr. Kemp, but I guarantee you,
we have a lot more problems in this city with code compliance with long-
term rentals. Okay. No doubt about it. So, the fines should not just apply to
short-term rentals they should apply to any property that is rented. This
short-term rentals are not anywhere close to the problem of compliance as
long-term rental or the yearly rental. That is even completely not arguable.
Okay, on number 19, the grandfathered or I consider they are legally
nonconforming. I will just simply say that everything else that deals with
legal nonconformance pretty certain goes to the Zoning Administrator, the
Board of Zoning appeals to court. I am not really sure why the Planning
Director is the one making the decisions on these on the 2600, short-term
rentals that are grandfathered or legally nonconforming. It seems a little bit
odd to me, but anyway. And what constitutes abandonment, there is a lot of
different tentacles to what constitutes abandonment as well. And, there is
legal precedent on that issue when it comes to nonconforming use and the
abatement of nonconforming use. And, I think that is why it belongs in the
Zoning Administrator BZA, quasi-judicial BZA, and court.As for the changes
to the ordinance the findings, characteristics of the neighborhood Mr.
Grockmal it is a false narrative that he put out there, because what is
residential short-term rentals are residential, long-term rentals are
residential, and short-term is less than 30 days under your ordinance, and
owner occupied it they are all residential. Maybe, there is a distinction
between owner occupied single family and rental, whether it is short-term
or long-term, I would submit that short-term, the vast majority of cases is a
better situation when it comes to the upkeep maintenance etc. of the
property than long-term, especially in areas like Old Beach, which have
needed for decades redevelopment. So, characteristics of a neighborhood
or portion of neighborhood like Baltic East which is probably 75% rental and
has been forever. What is the characteristic, it is not single family owner
occupied, which I would submit probably is close to the majority it may well
be the majority on those areas West of Baltic and Old Beach. The idea that
Old Beach should be dealt with differently than Lakewood or Sea Pines, or
maybe even Shadow Lawn, the Shadow Lawn is different. I do not
understand why we are doing this part of the Oceanfront Resort and not
Lakewood to the South and Sea Pines to the North of 31st Street. But
anyway, and I said this at the workshop under number four, this needed as
22
a comp plan term, it should not say needed. We should not be in the
business other than a comp plan of suggesting what we need or we want.
It should be compatible resource, not a needed resource, although it is
needed in Old Beach for the portions that we have talked about and it is
also needed on 21st and 22nd Street as I have said previously, Norfolk
Avenue other main thoroughfares. Arctic and Baltic, no matter what you
say.it does see on a nice job with trying to calm the traffic, but that North-
South corridor of Arctic and Baltic, there are going to always be heavily
trafficked. And, it is different than once you get West of Baltic ran into
Barbara Yates, I was going to relate this at the workshop and did not have
time. At the vet about month and a half ago and Mr. Bishard and Mr.Edel
have been involved with Old Beach from a legal standpoint, but Staff and
Karen Lasily, etc. has been a great process over the years, and the first
thing Barbara said is, can you believe how great Old Beach is looking. I
cannot believe that Artic Avenue looks as good as it does. And, Barbara
has done even that and I said Barbara, yet it has been fantastic. You do
realize that short-term rentals has been a big part of that Arctic, because
Arctic and Baltic just like 21st and 22nd always been a thorn in the city side
in terms of how do we get that to redevelop and putting more density, was
the old way and it turns out we can do it with less density, because of short-
term rentals and she said you know I do not like short-term rentals but I got
to say Arctic Avenue is looking extremely good and I did not think I lived to
see that happen. So, this idea that the Chairperson said this morning that
Old Beach has been hit hard by short-term rentals, I am not seeing that
whatsoever. And, we are seeing a reduction in the number of units on a lot
of these, and with the occupancy restrictions that apply to short-term rentals
that do not apply to people renting for more than 30 days in the same
neighborhood. And ,that is in here too, some of the languages a little
questionable I think some time needs to be spent on working on it, but we
are not at all opposed to the fines and really not particularly opposed to the
stuff in 19 although, again I do not think it is as good as it should be. On the
Old Beach part, it looks to me like it is a solution in search of a problem.
There are 2600 short-term rentals that are grandfathered legally non-
conforming. There have been 196 applications filed for short-term rental
CUPs since the ordinance went into effect. That is 7.5% of the ones that
already exist. The short-term rentals that have been approved by council
62,that is 3% of the short-term rentals that already exist. Our statistics that
I have that were presented to RAC and some of the people by the city, so,
there has been 63 short-term rental applications in the OR District. There
is no OR District in Old Beach I do not know where those have been
23
because I have not seen them. And, as I have said previously, why short-
term rentals CUP is needed in the OR District is beyond me it does not
make any sense at all. It is not a "neighborhood" as everybody uses that
term. So, it does not make a lot of sense, but most importantly there are
only 28 short-term rental applications, 1% of those that exist that have been
submitted and I believe acted upon or in the process of being acted upon in
all of Old Beach 28. That is my point of a solution in search of a problem.
That is 1% of the existing short-term rentals and then Old Beach is just a
small subset, as I said earlier, of the Oceanfront Area and I do not know
why it is being dealt with separately from Lakewood, Sea Pines, or
potentially Shadow Lawn. Also, city statistics show there are other short-
term rentals in the city, there are 29% in the Beach District, 29%. Now,
Princess Anne has the largest cause of Sandbndge, but that is still not an
overwhelming percentage. Old Beach is finally experiencing at a more rapid
pace, a long overdue and long encouraged by the city redevelopment. It is
an organic redevelopment, city has helped, but it is mainly the investments
that are being made by not just the folks that are here but there are others
as well, Ken Hunt comes to mind. Do in large part to short-term rentals and
many with an accompanying reduction in density, and certainly a better
control over who is there and what they are doing, what they are spending.
They are going to spend more money at the resort, because they are here
for a vacation. And, you or I would come down and stay on Baltic or Arctic
or 21st or 22nd street or Norfolk Avenue for four or five days or a week, but
somebody might not really want to live on those heavily traffic streets 365.
It is different from back in the area where there is not a lot of traffic. And, as
a Commission has a city we should be a little bit more thorough in how we
try to, we do not want to kill the golden goose and that is what this really is
in some parts of the city, not necessarily in Croatan, not necessarily at the
North End, but here in these areas that have been blighted in for years
needed redevelopment. It is a great asset and truly same is true for
Lakewood, and the other areas there, we should not be putting a scarlet
letter on something that there is no evidence is a big problem. Lastly, the
idea of by right owner occupied makes no sense to me. Okay, they just want
to use from it too because what if you have some people it is great, I have
one in Croatan and I would not get all details but bottom line, a lady with a
baby by a new husband, a 13-year-old daughter they were renting out
rooms in their house a year, this was going back four or five years ago. I
had everybody in my block, what can we do this is crazy. Why would they
let people move in the house for a weekend with their infant and a 13-year-
old daughter. So, owner occupied short-term rentals can be great, do not
24
get me wrong, but it is not a panacea. It should be governed by use permit
as well.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you. Do I have to answer any question?
Ms. Oliver: No, I think. Thank you, though. We will be back.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the last registered speaker on this item is Samuel Jones.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Jones: Good afternoon. I hope you guys can hear me. I appreciate the opportunity
to speak. I guess, I was 22 years old I left Virginia Beach and it is been six
years of my life commercially fishing in the North and South Pacific.l started
a family in 98, and bought a triplex on 27th Street that same year, since
then I have moved to the 500 Block of 26th Street. So, I have been living in
Old Beach now for 22 years. I am late to this party, but I spent last night
watching the July 8, meeting with the Planning Commission. I am a small
business owner. By day I wear toolbelt. So, in reality, the properties I own
in Old Beach are my retirement. One of the concerns I am addressing you
guys, I guess it would be agenda 20. In the future, my triplex is rented yearly
at the moment and has been since 2001.At some point, I may want to look
at doing short-term rentals. These gentlemen to my right and in the back,
they are obviously having success. The Old Beach Overlay has made my
neighborhood better. Some may say I live in a blighted home I live in a little
three bedroom and one bath that was built back in 54. I am not ripping it
down, I like my backyard. And, I am going to continue to update it. In the
past year, my wife came down with breast cancer and through this whole
transition our dream is possibly to rent our home and maybe go to France
for a couple weeks in the summertime. But what I see if you really want to
look at Old Beach and look at really who owns the properties and the
number of short-term rentals, the number of annual rentals I think a lot of
the tax records show that a lot of LLCs, own a lot of properties. I would vary
to say that the permanent homeowners are in the minority and it is a very
cool little neighborhood. I play tennis on 26th Street a couple times a week,
I surf out front. But, with that said, I have for short-term rentals between on
Mediterranean right. In the 600 block and the families that do rent those
home walk by past my house every day going to the beach and it is kind of
nice seeing people go walk and go to the beach. This morning I stopped a
couple and presently painting and redoing the hardwood floors and my
rental on 27th and they are doing three days, they are spending $300 a
25
night they are from Richmond. They are actually staying in not a very nice
unit. So, we have a pretty big we got these brand new homes that Chris
Edel has developed and then we still have some older stuff that is
considered blighted. That may not ever go away or maybe not transition out
as soon as the public wants. So, I want you guys to consider and respect
the older residents and the possibility of being able to use the properties
that we have invested in for future. And, there should never be a cap on the
number of short-term rentals or weekly rentals, because even if it's East or
West of Baltic .And, then on the agenda 20, I think that again I hope you
guys taking consideration any type of future investments and in future
people wanting to do short-term rentals and not alienate them if the
numbers, there is too many in the neighborhood. I honestly as a resident,
we are different than Shadow Lawn and we are different than North End.
We are very close to the hub of the oceanfront and at the moment it looks
like we are doing a good job of creating a nice neighborhood for short-term
rentals, weekly rentals and even annual renters, and homeowners to live in.
So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me for a second, I did not catch your name at the beginning.
Mr. Jones: I am Samuel Jones.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Jones, you are not late to this party, I thought your comments
were very valuable and I also want to say, we wish the best for your wife
and your whole family.
Mr. Jones: Yeah, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, at this time we would like to ask if there are any other
speakers present either in the lobby, or in the chamber that would like to
speak. Anyone?
Mr. Sanders: No one in the lobby.
Mr. Landfair: Okay. It would appear that there are no more known speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Well, I think we will close this now and then up our Planning
Commission.
26
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, let us close it and then we will open up for discussion and we will
move through these one at a time, and do we want to wait for Mr.Redmond
to come up we want him to catch up.
Mr. Weiner: I would like comment if I could Staff anyway. I do not have problem with
fines, but Mr.Bourdon bought up a good point. Why are we just picking on
short-term rentals and there is a lot of other rentals out there in the city that
have problems, long-term rentals. I mean I know why are preying on short-
term rentals, but we thought about that about long-term rentals too.
Mr. Tajan: As my understanding that because of the turnaround on short-term rentals
and that the regular zoning enforcement process of a 30-day notice, and
then going to the Board of Zoning appeals for some of these issues is a bit
cumbersome and by the time someone gets through that process the
season is over, and they are no longer renting, so, they are in compliance.
So, part of it is the ability to as allowed by state code for certain zoning
violations, they can become civil penalties which is what this is going for we
use this currently also. We have the ability to utilize this for signage as well,
but this follows what is permitted by State Code. Now, as far as this is a
subset in the zoning ordinance, there is an subset in the zoning ordinance
that talks about rentals. So, this is going in based on the utilization of a
property as a short-term rental.
Mr. Weiner: Follow up real quick to that, why are we including Sandbridge in this mean,
I mean another part of the ordinance, but I mean why would we include
Sandbridge on part of like they are in little entity down there and so forth.
Mr. Tajan: The zoning ordinance requires that anyone operating a short-term rental
comply with section 241 .2, which includes theportions that we deal with
grandfathering and also the performance standards.
Mr. Weiner: As I was just ask the question. Okay.
Ms. Oliver: All right, so we are going to start with 18, and do we have any comments
on this one.
Mr. Redmond: I echo David's comments it seems to me rather unfair. I mean I heard
your explanation, I just do not know that I buy it very frankly. I do think we
ought to enforce far more in the city than we do. But, it just strikes me that
we have different standards, so make a difference if you are violating the
law in some way, whether a renter is there for 31 days, whether there for
seven, I do not know that is particularly fair. I will say at the outset to, I mean
I thought I have heard everything, but this is very educational session today,
27
and I listened to every single word. But, I am more discombobulated than I
was when we began and I have objections based on what I have heard to
everything Ms. Atkinson I was perfectly okay with the grandfathering until
Ms. Atkinson. What is wrong with the lander does not it, I never thought
about that. So, if you decide you feel like living in your own house instead
of renting it for a couple of years, you cannot go back to renting again I do
not know how that makes any sense, any case. So, I got a whole bunch of
objections that I am not going to support anything today, because I think
Mr.Weiner I hope anyway if I have read them correctly sure it is my view,
but there is way more going on here than we can make up on the fly.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to interrupt you and I am going to let the attorney speak for one
second. It can happen all the time.
Mr. Redmond: I get it all day long.
Ms. Oliver: Its okay.
Ms. Wilson: I understand about civil penalties. Right now if you have a zoning violation,
which is what these are, when you violate the zoning ordinance you are
charged with an unspecified misdemeanor, it is a misdemeanor when they
say have you ever been charged with a crime, you have to put down, yes,
because it is a misdemeanor. Now for zoning you cannot go to jail, that is
why it is an unclassified or an unspecified misdemeanor. But, it is a fine up
to $2500. $2,000?
Ms. Wilson: $2500. Anyway, so we feel that a bigger penalty on someone, than
someone going through the system and having a civil penalty. They still
have due process. We send you what looks like a summons, it just says the
violation is this, the penalty is this, the $200. If you want to pay it, you go
down to the treasurer's office and you pay it. And, it goes into Planning's
budget under short-term rentals under civil penalties. If we did not do this
then people would have to go through the regular process, which could
potentially give them a misdemeanor. Now, we do not want to give them a
misdemeanor on their record forever for some of this stuff. We felt it was a
way to make it easier on people who have violations. Because a lot of the
things are not earth shattering, but there are other things that also have civil
penalties in the zoning ordinance, SANS are civil penalties. There is a
philosophical issue.
Mr. Redmond: We do not enforce the sign thing just so you know, we talked about
that earlier.
28
Ms. Wilson: Yes, they are. There is a philosophical debate between which is better, civil
penalties to get people to do things or criminal penalties, and it is
philosophical more than it is concrete. We have looked at going to civil
penalties for everything, but many people feel that criminal penalties are
things that require people to more readily bring their property into
compliance. If they have variance requirements, so they have setback
issues and they have other things. So, that is why we went to civil penalties,
because it was justifying. Now it is only$200,if you have a regular fine from
a criminal violation it could be up to, I think it is $2000. But, that is why it
was done, it is not something that is brand new or never been thought of
and you still get due process. As if we decide, hey I am not paying that$200,
I am just not paying, come on over to court. Tori will be there and she will
prosecute you just like it was a criminal violation, except her standards, the
standard for proving it is lower for the City.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Redmond: I thank you for that, I still share David's view, I just do not know that
is consistent, so, I have a different view of it. So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes,
Mr. Graham: I agree with Mr. Redmond, I thought it was great to hear from these
speakers. Full disclosure Mr. Jones back there I went to high school with
him. And, he grew up in Virginia Beach he went first colonial High School,
as I did. And, I am sure that he is surprised it how revitalized that area is
today compared to what it was back in the 80s, it is very different. And,
hearing the speakers, I mean, they have taken places and you look at these
pictures, they took places that were eight units and converted them into two
houses, the before and after pictures. I mean, this is short-term rentals have
been the economic engine of that area they have to completely transform
that area. I am torn with short-term rentals in other areas like your traditional
neighborhood, but here close to the beach I am not I think that what has
happened over there is great. And, I agree with Mr. Redmond. I do not
know that there is anything in here you can support today, I think this thing
is being rushed through I think that more thought needs to be given to it.
Ms. Oliver: All right. No disrespect, but we are going to do 18, because I just do not
want.
Mr. Weiner: We got to do 18 first.
Ms. Oliver: We got to do 18, we got to do them separately.
29
Mr. Graham: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: And, so that we can focus specifically, kind of where we are and what we
are addressing. Robin.
Ms. Klein: I understand the argument for 18. However, since it is currently a criminal
penalty, which I disagree with, I do intend to support the transition to a civil
penalty, at least in the interim.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Perfect, right. Yes, Don.
Mr. Horsley: The whole thing was civil criminal penalty it did not make much difference
to me, other than the fact that the enforcement is the whole thing. And, I
cannot see that changing this penalty is going to make anything, I do not
know where the enforcement is going to come from. I just do not think we
have to staff or whatever to enforce it regardless of what it is. I mean, the
civil penalty versus criminal penalty, I mean it is minor penalties is as that is
fine with me I do not mind that, but what is the people that have put this
issue up what method of enforcement have they come up with to help
enforce with any type of penalty. Because, we do not have the staff now in
order to do it now evidently.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Horsley, you are correct currently right now we are working as best we
can with what we have and we do have three additional positions that have
been kicked free from the hiring freeze to allow us to focus on this as well
as our contract with host compliance. So, Mr. Kemp and I was in a meeting
with the City Manager discussing other ways to add to our enforcement
capability, whether it be a third party or to figure out a way to fund the ability
to have someone to be out there on the weekends to go and enforce these
requirements. So, it is not something idle, we were not just tossing the
words out. We are also working as far as staffing and finding other solutions
that are available to us to do the enforcement.
Mr. Horsley: I mean, I see this with other things not just short-term rentals enforcement
or other thing. People complaining to me all the time about various things
and said why did not the city take care of this and I said, well, I guess we
just do not have the people to enforce the code. So, regardless of what
penalties we put up there, I think that is something that somebody on
Council or somewhere has got to come up with a way to provide more
enforcement to use those.
Ms. Oliver: Well. Yes, Mike.
30
Mr. Inman: I certainly think civil penalties makes more sense than the criminal penalty
on this kind of thing and I think we can support that.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Inman: I would support that.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. So,do I have a motion for 18?
Mr. Inman: I will move approval of 18.
Ms. Wilson: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Marchelle will you call for the question please.
Ms. Coleman: Sure.lf you are in favor of the motion say, yes and if you are opposed
say, no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
31
Ms. Coleman: By recorded vote of seven for and one against Agenda Item 18 is
hereby recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Alright. That went smoothly. Alright, so now we are going to talk
about number 19, revocation of grandfathering status and City Council
funding regarding to short-term rentals.
Mr. Weiner: I will start this one. I am completely done with this one, after listening to
everybody out there, I really appreciate the input it was really good
information. I would make a motion to strike item two completely required
findings and the minimum I would support on grandfather would be 60
months.
Mr. Redmond: How many months?
Mr. Weiner: 60 months.
Mr. Wiener: Five years, 60 months. Okay.I mean that would be the minimum I would
support for grandfathering.
Ms. Oliver: Alright, hold on.
Mr. Wiener: That is just me.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: So, you want five years.
Mr. Wiener: Five years for grandfathering and completely strike item two required
findings.
Ms. Oliver: Item two, as in numeral two or the whole segment.
Mr. Wiener: It says item two. The whole paragraph.
Mr. Tajan: The required findings.
Mr. Wiener: Yeah.ltems 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Ms. Oliver: You want all of those gone.
Mr. Wiener: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Wiener: That is just me.
32
Ms. Oliver: That is just you.
Mr. Redmond: No, it is me too.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, okay. My goodness. So, you do not want aesthetically pleasing parking.
I am just asking, because you can pick and choose. You do not have to be
blanket.
Mr. Wiener: I understand, this is just my opinion thought through.
Ms. Oliver: I am just sort of soliciting.
Mr. Wiener: It is just not thought through, it needs to be. We need to sit down and think
about what is going on here.
Ms. Oliver: Because they do not have any problem with aesthetically pleasing parking.
I think that is a good thing.
Mr. Wiener: Well, that is fine if you want to fix it.
Mr. Redmond: Vote against it.
Mr. Wiener: If you want to keep it item two.
Ms. Oliver: That seems to be the crutch of our problems here is parking because that
is the only thing we have, and so we are debating on whether or not, gravel,
eight feet of this, does not look like that, what is the apron look like. So, if
we are hanging our hats on parking, we might as well make it look good.Yes.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: However, be that as I have said before I share Dave's view, and an
awful lot of this is just not very well thought through and requires greater
consideration, factually though and substantively I do not like the idea that
if you choose to live in a house for two years that you were previously
renting then you lose the ability to then rent it again because you choose to
live in your own house. It just does not seem to me to make a lot of sense,
so, I am not going to support it. If you want to make a motion, I consider
what you said an improvement, and I will be happy to support your motion.
In the end, however, I am going to oppose the entire concept of it because
I do not think that's fair to property owners.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Robin.
33
Ms. Klein: If I get granted conditional use permit for my home now. I am not applying.
And, then I decide to live in it and I am not grandfathered or legally
nonconforming what happens to that permit.
Ms. Oliver: I do not think anything happens. Yes, okay.
Mr. Redmond: First I love how you keep direct these questions with Dee and I would
encourage you to keep to it, I'm rather enjoying that.
Ms. Wilson: You got a CUP right.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Wilson: Okay, your CUP is good for five years and then it will just simply disappear
unless you come and renew it.
Ms. Klein: Okay. So, I think that is very well in lined with your five year suggestion.
Yeah.
Mr. Horsley: But, you does not have CUP, if you do something, if you have some type of
a vested right in it within that five years, does not that make it stay. You do
not have to have it completed in five years.
Ms. Wilson: No. If your CUP is specifically conditioned on, it only lasting five years, so
there is no vested right argument, you knew you had it for five years that is
all.
Mr. Tajan: So, Mr. Horsley said that, in this case a conditional use permit is Ms.Klein
is referring to has a very specific condition stating that it lasts for five years.
If you are talking about other conditional use permits, yes, the discussion is
a different, but it is laid out in the ordinance that way.
Ms. Klein: If it is vacant for five years you essentially lost your right for grandfathering
property, and would been under your suggestion.
Mr. Redmond: Under Mr. Weiner's suggestion.
Ms. Klein: Right under Mr.Wiener's suggestion.
Ms. Wilson: Under Mr.Wiener's suggestion, just take the two and make it a five.
Ms.Klein: And make it a five,which would be the regular length of time for a conditional
use permit.
Mr. Inman: I actually support all of this. There is going to be subjectivity, there has to
be subjectivity you cannot, as Kay explained early on in our informal session
34
you cannot objectify every single thing, there is judgment calls to be made
by us recalled on to make judgments about density, and whether there is
too much density of short-term rentals. So, that it destroys the neighborhood
concept that neighborhood feel, the benefit of living in a non transient
neighborhood. So, that is what that is about. That is what two of those items
and number two are about. We have been concerned for many months now
about, we have seen, I think a higher volume of applications than we ever
really expected around the city, and we all of a sudden we are like, whoa,
wait a minute what is this going to do to these neighborhoods. Everybody
is thinking about today, Old Beach, I am talking about all of the things we
have been concerned about, some parts of the Shore Drive neighborhood.
So, I am not offended by any of these criteria that I think they are good that
we have to make those findings in order to protect the neighborhoods. So,
that is what I wanted to know. I am alright with it.
Ms. Oliver: I mean these are all the things when you look at them individually and then
the grandfather with separate from. These are all the same conversations
that we have every time we look at them, how many, where is the map, we
turn to Planning Staff and go where is your map, how many are there, what
is the street look like, what is the parking lot like. Well, the guy just paved
his whole driveway I mean his whole front yards. So, that is not aesthetically
pleasing. Somebody wants to gravel or put dirt in there, they are bumping
over curbs and stuff, all that is doing is saying, hey look if you can meet your
parking requirement or we can help you meet your parking requirement, can
we do it aesthetically pleasing. How is the landscaping look. The occupancy
is basically, does it does it meet the requirements of what everybody else is
doing on the street, you have 50 people in your house or do you have 11
people in your house that is reasonable to be in their bedrooms and what is
wrong with number four, STRs are needed. I am just curious resource in
certain areas of the city, particularly those in close proximity to venues and
part of that was because we do not have, Old Beach is three blocks from
our resort. We got thousands of hotel rooms right there. So, it is not as if
people are landing in 27th Street and they cannot find a room. That is not
the problem, that statement if I recall correctly part of that was due to the
fact that the Amphitheatre and the sports complex where we do not have
hotels, was so, that then we could look at that area and say yeah In fact,
they do need STRs there, because these families are bringing all these kids
into play these sports and stuff and we do not have any place for them to
stay and the resort hotels are too far for them to go.
35
Mr. Weiner: Okay.I understand, but I am going to break it down two and three I could
probably live with, but one I definitely could not. Who would say that the way
I think characteristics change in the neighborhood is different than yours, as
Mr. Redmond brought up earlier. Two houses on they are different in what
I think for a characteristics surrounding neighborhood. And, I know I am
keep bringing this up, but I think just because there is hotels there it does
not mean people want to stay in hotel, I do not want to stay in hotel,
anywhere I go I would rather stay in a house and that is just my opinion of
course. So, the proximity of the venues and districts in the areas generate
high volume. I mean, that is perfect for Old Beach in my opinion. So, I can
live with two and three rather, how is that.
Mr. Redmond: I would make the following argument characteristics of the
surrounding neighborhood. If there was a neighborhood with a
preponderance of short-term rentals, I would argue that is a characteristic
of the neighborhood. If you look at some of these neighborhoods and say
they havegot all these dots on the map, look how many short-term rentals
on there. Is that not fundamentally a characteristics of the neighborhood. If
I am one of these builders and I come up with an application and my
application is denied, on the basis that it changes the characteristic of the
neighborhood where there is already a preponderance of short-term rentals.
I am going to sue. I mean that is just strikes me as oxymoronic and really
needs a lot more work. It just kind of made up and it does not, again I am
not going to support this grandfather thing because I think it is unfair to
people who own things. But, that to me is probably the most offensive of the
things that I find here, I completely agree with you Dee about the
attractiveness of things, it is statics to stuff to me, it makes a gigantic
difference. In fact, I think we have to look much more carefully at parking
not just at the attractiveness of it, but how are we getting into. My problem
with this 9x18 thing is requiring far larger parking and more impervious
cover than we ought to and I think there is such a much deeper, more
complicated conversation than we have because I do not want all this. I
mean, you know much better than I would have all this more impervious
stuff. And, frankly people move their cars to let the other car out all the time,
not everything needs a big wide turning radius of a Chevy tile. So, in any
event, I just number one to me is, is a nonstarter. It is not ready for
primetime, it is easily argued in my view that in a lot of these places where
there is already a preponderance of short-term rentals, but that is a
characteristic of the neighborhood. So, I am not exactly sure how you even
on a subjective basis that that makes sense. Anyway, I am sorry, go ahead.
36
Mr. Inman: Then number one would be okay with you because you get to make that
argument saying, if you are not changing the nature of the neighborhood,
so, it is okay.
Mr. Redmond: But, that is my point is, it does not have any real meeting, if
everybody can see it 18 different ways and it is not really a law.
Ms. Oliver: I think that is the whole purpose of it.
Mr. Redmond: So, it is not to have meaning.
Ms. Oliver: No, I do not think the lack of, I am not saying new as it specifically I think.
Mr. Redmond: Well that is okay.
Ms. Oliver: Some people are looking for specific black and white laws regarding this
and I think it is subjective to where we are and what the area looks like. Do
I think that a lot of the development in Old Beach is a plus to that area,
absolutely I think that it is absolutely gorgeous to go down there after
growing up and down on the oceanfront and see that these places are
pushed to the street that we actually have sidewalks for once, we never had
sidewalks. The walkability, the balconies, the parking in the back it is all a
huge plus for that. Again, it's obbjective to them all of a sudden we have
another area that has some not so well run Airbnb's that are not properly
managed by a property management or that a company that is readily
available to troubleshoot areas, that is causing problems that allows us to
go in and say, you know, this is ruining the character of this particular area,
this particular neighborhood. This is an enhancement to this particular area,
this particular neighborhood.
Mr. Inman: I will give an example like Arizona Bay, very dense, there probably are not
any short-term rentals in there. But, do you want to allow a bunch of short-
term rentals in there, they are not used to having short-term rentals, they
probably do not want short-term rentals. So, there is certainly a right to have
some, but it could become such that it is now changing the nature of that
neighborhood, the nature of that neighborhood is not short-term rental. So,
this allows that kind of analysis.
Mr. Redmond: I understand that, my view is laws ought to have meaning or they are
bad laws, this does not have enough meaning to me. If you can interpret it
18 different ways, I do not know how you can follow it. They have to be
more specific and in this case, it seems me entirely just like we had to do it
the first time entirely rushed and that is how you end up with a mess. And,
37
we had one before we still have it largely it is that rush part, but coming up
with phrases like change the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood that do not really have any great definition to me. It is just
asking for trouble.
Ms. Oliver: I am just throwing this out there, because I am just trying to.
Mr. Redmond: This is a great discussion now by the way.
Ms. Oliver: I just want to figure this out. Let us just say, we head down to Princess Anne
out to the rural area. All of a sudden, we have got venues that want to go in
and do all this and everybody is like, no, because that changes the
character and the fabric of that particular area of what it is technically
designed to be. So, the zoning is AG, this is what we want this, this part of
our city to respond and act like. Now, we go into a residential area, which
people go in and buy a house and I am just playing devil's applicant.
Mr. Redmond: Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: We go into a residential area, people move here, the military moves here,
women are looking for schools, they are looking for a neighborhood, they
go okay, here it is. This is where we are going to go for the next two or three
years. We are going to buy a house this, that or the other. And, then all of
a sudden they find, well, it is not a residential area, we have got a
commercial use in a residential area that typically would not be. And, I am
not talking about what is within three or four blocks of the Oceanfront, I am
just talking about further into the city, further back. How does that perform,
we do we then just kind of say, we can go down to the farms and we can do
well, because that does not change.
Mr. Redmond: Well, let me answer it, and that is, it is far more specific than this is,
take his example about the wedding venue that we have been through and
we are going to see again of course. And, the ordinance as I understand we
have not seen it yet, but the ordinance is being drafted as, assembly uses
are not permissible in the AG District, is that correct?
Mr. Horsley: It is being negotiated now.
Mr. Redmond: Okay, but so, let me use as an example, that is pretty easy to
understand. That is pretty easy to point to, it is not as broad, and is
meaningless as change the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood. I know what an assembly use as, I know what AG-1 is, I can
point to that and tell you whether it is or is not, an assembly use. I mean, I
38
understand your example, but you kind of are helping me make that
argument which is that is much more specific, I understand what he is
saying, I understand what the applicant who's proposing that particular
application. And, it is pretty clear and you can just make a decision because
it has meaning, this does not have any meaning to me because it is just so
unspecific. I do not like that we are messing with people's property rights in
this grandfather thing, but that whole phrase changing the characteristics, it
is just not there, it is just not good enough for me. So, I mean we are just
going to disagree on this, I understand. But, I do not know that it has, it just
does not.
Ms. Oliver: only reason I'm asking is because at one point we are going to have tobe
more specific, and so, why we were just on the roll I just basically. So, you
had Mr. Grothmal who said, well then, let us do it by a math problem. You
measure each street and two thirds of its residential and I am just throwing
it out and one third of it is STRs. And then, therefore now you have a math
problem, now you have law or something that appears to be more cut and
dry.
Mr. Horsley: You got a box you can check, when you figure it out that percentage you
got a box you check and when you get all your boxes checked you can go
with. But, but this is not that direct.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Horsley: It is a lot of subjectivity to those four comments there.
Mr. Redmond: It is altogether too much objectivity.
Mr. Horsley: And, really what it boils down to is can you take those four things and get
six votes that is what it amounts to and then put all aside. So, it is a lot of
subjectivity. I kind of agree with what David said about the two years, I would
not mind go into the five years on that deal. But, the other ones is a lot of
subjectivity because it gives you a lot of points that you can discuss like we
are doing right now. But, do you want to have a three hour discussion on
each one to see if you can muster up enough support to get it either passed
or not passed, you know, what it means to. And, I am going to say one thing
about it to talk to you here today, I got to move out of it people that spoke
today than any short-term rental briefing that I have been through by the
people. There is a lot taking place and we are kind of predicted that this
was going to happen, when we first started, but we were thinking in going
into other established neighborhoods not able to thinking about the beach
or whatever but we were thinking that blighted homes would be purchased
39
and people would take them and either remodel them or build a new home
there and do short-term rentals in as a business. And, that is what is
happening at the beach now that is what is happening and not necessarily
blighted, but older properties. And, it is really enhanced that area where it
looks like to me from the pictures I have seen today and I got to think of a
couple you all said somebody and I really agree that today's comments and
what we have heard has been the best that I have heard. Maybe, our
ordinance is not too far out of line maybe, we are getting something
accomplished of what we have got now, other than a few little tweaks that
have bothered me badly.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with you, I think the comments today were outstanding.
Mr. Weiner: You know what that bowls down to, is having the ordinance in place for a
little while. And, we are rushing to try and figure this out, we need to let it go
a little bit longer, maybe we need to let this go till November, let December
finish. And, then let us work on it over the winter, for next year. I mean, we
have not had this go long enough, we do not know what is happening there.
Mr. Horsley: The one thing I think that we did not anticipate was the number, the volume
of applications that was coming, I do not think that was anticipated with that
volume.
Mr. Alcaraz: Do we have the option of differing it, Ms. Wilson.
Ms. Wilson: It has to be returned to City Council within 100 days. So, you can differ it for
the next 30 days to your September meeting, if you wish to.
Mr. Weiner: If we differ, okay, this is me okay. We are going to be together for the next
four weeks every Tuesday night for next four weeks, we have no time to
think about this.
Mr. Alcaraz: Im just going to say that I was supporting number 19, with number two with
all the findings and comments, but I do like your 60 mark, so, I do not know
if I can do a substitute motion or an amendment to your motion, but I would
prefer to leave the motion.
Mr. Weiner: I thought you did.
Mr. Alcaraz: I said,I would make a motion, but did not.
Mr. Weiner: Oh, I am sorry.
Ms. Oliver: I did not hear you, what you said. You liked.
40
Mr. Alcaraz: I like the whole thing ,but actually if he wants to say 60 months, I am good
with that.
Ms. Oliver: I am good with that too. I mean, I will do that.
Mr. Redmond: Do we take out one and four.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to leave one and four.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am leaving them.
Mr. Weiner: Hey anyhow put me on the spot.
Mr. Graham: I agree with two of two and three of two, but I do not agree with one. One
it is poorly written it is very subjective. It sounds like to me that a lot of Old
Beach the characteristic of it is short-term rentals and rental properties.
Number four is just to me, I do not think it was written very well, I do not
think it was well thought out. But, I would support Mr.Wiener's idea of the
five years for number one for the grandfathering, and then on number two
and three, but not number one and four.
Ms. Oliver: I think it is George put the motion on for five years and then adding all the
rest.
Mr. Weiner: But, we can sit and look at number one and we can say, oh, Old Beach
does have the characteristics of short-term rentals, so we should approve
all of them.
Mr. Graham: Well, problem is that, I agree but then somebody else could interpret maybe
differently and it is just poorly written.
Mr. Weiner: It is not right.
Ms. Oliver: We do it right now. Mr. Redmond made a motion in Bayside due to the
density there I think it was a short-term one. There was a lot of density, it
was on Shore Drive something. One of them we did not do because of the
amount of.
Mr. Redmond: I will tell you exactly what it was, I will characterize it rather than you
character. There was a cluster of four homes, of those four homes one was
a short-term rental. Someone wanted to do another short-term rentals, so,
that two of the four would be short-term rentals that is 50% in a four cluster
of homes, and one of the owners who did not own a short-term rental had
particular problems with one that was there. My concern at the time was
that is probably going to exacerbate that, and that is gone from 25% to 50%
41
where 25% was a problem. That to me is a lot more definable than change
the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood. And, I could easily
quantify that and did in the course of that application. It is not going to
change my view I mean, I just do not think this is right. I only tell you what
I am going to do because we got 19 different options here. I do not like
anything in number two, I do not like the grandfathering at all. I think what
David has proposed is an improvement.
Mr. Alcaraz: We have a motion on it.
Mr. Redmond: I would support David's and I am not going to support the other one.
Ms. Oliver: Right now we have got a motion on the floor.
Mr. Redmond: David did you make a motion.
Mr. Weiner: No I do not.
Mr. Redmond: You did not make a motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I made a motion that number nine, or agenda number 18 be approved but
the change of 60 months and as far as the findings, amendment that they
all stick. I like it because I think it puts more work on the builders, the
applicants to do what they can to make this work for them, so, we can prove
it. That is why I like it.
Ms. Oliver: Do I have the second.
Mr. Graham: I second it.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. We are going to call. question, please.
Ms. Coleman: If you are favor of the motion say, yes, and if you are appose say,
no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
42
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: No.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: I recorded vote of four for and four against Agenda Item 19 is hereby
being denied.
Mr. Weiner: The motion is failed. Can I make a motion to pass.
Ms. Oliver: Hold on.
Mr. Weiner: Well, it'll be four for again probably. I would make a motion for item number
19, I do not want to be five years, and for item number two record findings
to strike one and four and keep two and three.
Mr. Graham: I second that motion.
Ms. Oliver: Then call for the question Marchelle.
Ms. Coleman: Sure,give me one second.
Ms. Oliver: Sure.
Ms. Coleman: Okay. If you arein favor of this motion say, yes. lfyou oppose say,
no.Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Yes.
43
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: No.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: No.
Ms. Coleman: I recorded vote of four, four and four against Agenda Item 19 is
hereby denied by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Weiner: So, this gives the council for 24?
Ms. Coleman: Failed, Correct.
Mr. Tajan: We did not do anything it goes recommended. So, as it stands it goes
recommended for denial by the Planning Commission.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, where are we. We are on number 20, which is to allow certain short-
term rentals as permitted use in the Old Beach Overlay District. Do I have
anybody that has anything, comments or motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am just glad we got an updated map and with the comments that we got
from I guess some of these developers or builders I appreciate what they
said and I have also appreciated what they have done from what it looked
like then and what it looks like now. Having said that, me understand this
OR is not in Old Beach?
Mr. Tajan: it is not on an Old Beach, that is correct.
Mr. Alcaraz: I was not aware of this, but everything as some of the builders said East of
Baltic has got that apartment or rental zoning. And, they are actually some
of them are offering to take that as the overlay. And, then maybe everything
west of that would be a use permit. So, I kind of support that, it kind of says
it right on the map.
44
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mike.
Mr. Inman: I support what George said mostly, but it would be if you are West of Baltic
if it is zoned a multifamily that would not require principal use. So,that would
be available without having principal, in a principal residence zoned A-12 or
is it any other A zoning West of Baltic.
Mr. Redmond: Can I ask an operational questions here.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, absolutely.
Mr. Redmond: STRs is a principal residents and owned by the operator, how in
practice does that work. It is my principal residents, that means I lived there.
Ms. Wilson: More than half the year.
Mr. Redmond: More than half year, so, like these family I am going to kick my family
out and I continue to chuckle about by the way. I am going to move out
whatever four months or five months or six months and then rent it but I am
going to go back for part of the rest of the year.
Mr. Weiner: What was it redefine that the line, which you are talking about.
Mr. Inman: Okay, Baltic Avenue is a primary line, East Baltic Avenue would not have to
be a principle residence if it is West of Baltic Avenue and it is zoned for
multifamily use would not require a principal residence.
Mr. Tajan: So, based on what you are saying Mr. Inman it may be easier to just say in
the Old Beach Overlay, are you trying to say that they can apply for
conditional use permit still or you are trying to say that they you think still
can apply. So, then it would be more uniform to say in the Old Beach
Overlay anything zoned multifamily can still apply for a conditional use
permit while everything else is zoned because you are talking about the
apartment zonings, correct.
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Mr. Tajan: Okay. So, while everything else has to meet this criteria, that makes it very
difficult for us. Because, based on the Overlay District you are permitted to
have single family zoning or single family uses on the multifamily properties,
which is why they are getting redeveloped in that fashion. So, I think we are
having a bit of a hard time trying to understand kind of the change unless
you want to make the bright line on Baltic only and not anything else.
Mr. Inman: That is fine.
45
Ms. Wilson: So, anything West of Baltic would have to have those requirements and
East of Baltic support which it is.
Mr. Alcaraz: By right.
Ms. Wilson: Make it by right.Okay.
Mr. Weiner: By right the conditional use permit.
Ms. Wilson: By right with the provisions of 241.2.
Mr. Weiner: Yeah,that would be the ordinance like Sandbridge.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. So, East of Baltic would be by right.
Mr. Graham: And, that means the Westside not to get into the nitty-gritty, but I think we
say that the Westside of Baltic and this side East.
Mr. Alcaraz: One of the speakers, made it. I caught that too, but it would be the address
of Baltic Avenue West.
Mr. Redmond: Yes, I like that. That makes it simple.
Mr. Alcaraz: That kind of fills the blank. It is not half the street west because you got
property that is on the Westside of Baltic Avenue that is on Baltic Avenue
address.
Ms. Wilson: Like we have run the line down the middle of the street.
Mr. Alcaraz: No, I do not.
Mr. Graham: Not that in the middle street.
Mr. Alcaraz: Would use address Baltic Avenue.
Mr. Graham: Okay. So, it would be, it would have to be the back of the property line
along here that you are going to run it. I mean, you cannot run it down in the
middle of the street just because what is the difference between one side of
the street and the other. I mean, it is a busy street I mean I do not really.
Mr. Inman: Any property the fronts on Baltic Avenue.
Mr. Graham: That is what I agree with Mr. Inman.
Ms. Wilson: It has to be East or West.
Mr. Weiner: West, those to be West.
46
Ms. Wilson: Okay, I am lost. I am sorry guys I am having.
Mr. Alcaraz: Everything on Baltic Avenue East would be by right that is what I
understand.
Mr. Redmond: West side of Baltic Avenue will be by right.
Mr. Graham: Westside of Baltic Avenue would be by right, correct.
Ms. Wilson: With the meeting that provisions of 241.2.
Mr. Inman: Yeah, correct.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. What did you George, do you mind repeat that. On the Eastside of
Baltic, Baltic is the dividing line. Anything fronting the Baltic Avenue is going
to be east. Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, now we need to...
Ms. Wilson: And then the West would be that.
Mr. Alcaraz: Correct, that is correct.
Ms. Wilson: That she says that she points to the screen. Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah. Just finish the overlay.
Mr. Graham: Because we already determined the 22nd Street was OR anyway.
Ms. Oliver: Is it, surrounded by OR anyway.
Ms. Wilson: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Klein: Are we keeping the provision about the multifamily homes that are West or
East or was that.
Ms. Wilson: No.
Ms. Klein: That is up, okay.
Mr. Inman: Do we have motion.
Ms. Oliver: Can we make a motion.
Mr. Inman: George.
47
Mr. Alcaraz: I am sorry, if I am sounding confused. So, we are not going North or South,
we are just staying at Old Beach, I thought we.
Ms. Oliver: No, because those two streets that you probably referring to are not in Old
Beach, 21st and 22nd Street are not in Old Beach, that is OR.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: So, you just looking at the rest of the overlay, which is basically
encompasses everything. I think I actually have a map for George, hold on.
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, I was saying that everything. How we ended up saying for Baltic,
fronting on Baltic East.
Ms. Wilson: If you're fronting on Baltic you are considered to be East, you are
considered to be part of the East. East is by right as long as you meet the
provisions of 241 .2. The west will allow us STRs by right also, but you have
to meet 241.2 and it has to be your principal residence.

CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance amendment. Permitting Short Term Rentals
as a matter of right will alleviate the number of applications reviewed by staff and
considered by Planning Commission and City Council, which have been burdensome
49
since the implementation of the Short Term Rental Ordinance. By making the operation
of the Short Term Rental contingent upon meeting the requirements of the Ordinance, as
well as being the principal residence of the property owner and operator, staff is confident
that this amendment would mitigate the negative impacts that residents of the
neighborhood have brought to staffs attention and maintain the residential character of
the Old Beach neighborhood. The operator will be more vested in the care of the property
if it is their principal residence, rather than a property that is an investment property whose
owner does not reside in the area pertain to this site.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 241.2 OF THE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO THE REVOCATION OF GRANDFATHER
STATUS AND CITY COUNCIL FINDINGS
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2020
• Background:
This Ordinance is sponsored by Councilmember Guy Tower, Beach District, and
was referred to the Planning Commission and considered at the August 12, 2020
Planning Commission public hearing.
When the Short Term Rental ordinance was adopted on January 15, 2019, City
Council realized that a large number of Short Term Rentals were operating in the
City and were registered and paying the appropriate taxes with the Commissioner
of Revenue (COR). As such, City Council adopted an ordinance that grandfathered
any property that was registered and paying the appropriate taxes to the COR prior
to July 1, 2018. The grandfathering status would alleviate the property from the
requirement of obtaining a Conditional Use Permit. Currently, the grandfather
status of the property runs in perpetuity with the land. Grandfathering may only be
revoked if the Short Term Rental is increased by 1 ,000 square feet, or 25-percent,
whichever is greater. This amendment would establish a twenty-four month time
period in which the grandfather status may be revoked by the Planning Director if
the property was not used as a Short Term Rental during that period.
The second part of the proposed amendment adds a "findings" section to Section
241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. This provides guidance for City Council, Planning
Commission and staff to consider when reviewing applications. The proposal
includes four "findings" which are summarized below:
1 . The density of Short Term Rentals in the immediate vicinity of the property
should not change the characteristics of the neighborhood.
2. Parking should be readily available, and done in an aesthetically pleasing and
environmentally friendly way. Alternative parking solutions should be
reasonable as to be practically used by the renters of the Short Term Rental.
3. The potential increased occupancy of the Short Term Rental is compatible
with the character of the residential neighborhood, particularly regarding
additional noise, trash, and other possible nuisances.
City of Virginia Beach — Short Term Rental Grandfathering and Findings
Page 2 of 3
4. Recognizing that Short Term Rentals are a needed resource in the City,
particularly in close proximity to venues, districts and areas that generate a
high volume of people and visitors.
• Considerations:
The first proposed amendment regarding grandfathering will allow City Council the
opportunity to have input on Short Term Rentals that have not operated for more
than two years. As the properties have not been used as Short Term Rentals for
that period of time, it is beneficial to consider the impact they may have on the
surrounding neighborhood. The Planning Commission discussed changing the
time period from two years to five years. There was consensus among the
Planning Commission for this change.
The second portion of the amendment regarding City Council findings would
provide a basis to which City Council, Planning Commission and Staff could further
evaluate short term rental applications, and ultimately be approve or deny them.
Planning Commission discussed this proposal at great lengths, particularly in
regard to the necessity to include each finding and the measurable aspects for
which they may be evaluated.
Ultimately, a motion was made by Planning Commission to approve the proposal
changing the grandfathering timeframe from two to five years and changing the
proposed findings, negating number one (density of STRs in vicinity) and number
four (STRs are a needed resource in the City). This motion failed on a 4 to 4 vote.
A second motion was made to approve the proposal changing the grandfathering
timeframe from two to five years and the findings as drafted. This motion failed on
a 4 to 4 vote.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. Opposition was present at the public
hearing.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend denial of this request
by a vote of 4-4.

3. 9
Virginia Beach
Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the revocation of Grandfather Status
and City Council Findings.
This Ordinance is requested by Councilman Guy Tower, Beach District and was referred to the Planning Commission by
City Council.
Summary of Request
The Short Term Rental Ordinance was adopted by City Council on January 15, 2019. When it was adopted, City Council
realized that a large number of Short Term Rentals were operating in the City and paying the appropriate transient
occupancy taxes with the Commissioner of Revenue's Office.As such, Council included in the adopted ordinance that
any property that was registered and paying the appropriate taxes with the COR prior to July 1, 2018 would be
Grandfathered.The grandfathered status would alleviate the property from the requirement to obtain a Conditional Use
Permit to operate as a Short Term Rental. Note that this does not apply to properties located in the Sandbridge Special
Service District, as State legislation alleviates the Conditional Use Permit requirement for those properties.
Currently,the grandfathered status of a property runs in perpetuity with the land. Grandfather status can only be
removed if the Short Term Rental is increased by 1,000 square feet or by 25%,whichever is greater.This amendment
would establish a twenty-four(24) month time period in which the grandfather status could be administratively
removed by the Planning Director if the property was not used as a Short Term Rental during that period.This time
period is consistent with the current ordinance regulation that states a nonconforming use loses its' nonconforming
status if it is no operated as such for 24 months.
The second part of this proposed amendment adds a "findings" section into Section 241.2.This provides guidance for
City Council, Planning Commission and staff to consider when reviewing Short Term Rental applications.The intent of
this Section is to provide further guidance in review of Short Term Rental applications.The proposal includes four
"findings" which are summarized below.
1. The density of Short Term Rentals in the immediate vicinity of the property should not change the
characteristics of the neighborhood.
2. Parking should be readily available, and done in an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly way.
Alternative parking solutions should be reasonable as to be practically used by the renters of the Short Term
Rental.
3. The potential increased occupancy of the Short Term Rental is compatible with the character of the
residential neighborhood, particularly regarding additional noise,trash,and other possible nuisances.
4. Recognizing that Short Term Rentals are a needed resource in the City, particularly in close proximity to
venues, districts and areas that generate a high volume of people and visitors.

RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL
Mr. Landfair: Planning Commissioners the next four items on the Regular Agenda today
are item 18, City of Virginia Beach an ordinance to amend section 104 to
allow civil penalties for the violation of section 241.2, pertaining to short-
term rentals. Item 19,City of Virginia Beach, an ordinance to amend section
241.2 pertaining to the revocation of grandfathered status and the City
Council findings for short-term rental uses. Item 20, City of Virginia Beach,
an ordinance to amend section 1903, allowing certain short-term rentals as
permitted uses in the Old Beach Overlay District. And, item 21, City of
Virginia Beach, an ordinance to establish transitional rules for the review of
conditional use permits for property in the Old Beach Overlay District. Kevin
Kemp will present these items. Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you, Mr. Landfair. Good afternoon, Commissioners as Bill mentioned
these four items are the referral, the proposed amended ordinance from
Councilman Tower you should be familiar with these items as you reviewed
them twice in July, once following your July 8, Planning Commission
hearing, and then you had a meeting for public comment on July 20, in
which there were approximately 30 speakers at that meeting. I will just
briefly go through these proposed amendments agenda items and explain
each one, agenda item 18 deals with the way we enforce short-term rental
violations. This would change the enforcement from what is now a criminal
violation to a civil penalty. It would allow our inspectors to issue fines $200
penalty for the first violation and then $500 for each additional, it will help
Staff be able to enforce the ordinance and make it a easier and faster way
to get through the process, whereas now they were required to go through
the criminal court proceedings to get to this fine structure. Agenda item 19,
deals with two items, one is the grandfather status of short-term rentals and
the other are required findings for short-term rental uses. The
grandfathering this ordinance proposes that the grandfathering status if a
short-term rental were not used to such for a two-year period would be
revoked by the Planning Director. This aligns with our current ordinance
regulations for nonconforming uses, as the ordinance is written now short-
term rental use if it was grandfathered it runs with the land and it runs in
perpetuity. The second item in this amendment are the required findings
1
perpetuity. The second item in this amendment are the required findings
and these provide a basis for which Staff, Planning Commission, and City
Council could evaluate and ultimately approve or deny these applications,
briefly go over the four of those. The first is that the density or number of
short-term rentals in the immediate vicinity, do not change the character of
the neighborhood. The second is that parking is readily available onsite
parking is visually appealing and environmentally friendly. This is in a
reaction to what we are seeing where a lot of short-term rentals are paving
their entire yards to meet our parking requirements. The third is that, if there
is an increased occupancy due to the short-term rental use, that occupancy
remains compatible with the residential nature of the neighborhood as to
not create negative impacts such as noise and trash. And, lastly, it
recognizes that short-term rentals are a needed resource, particularly in
areas of the city, that are in close proximity to venues or districts that bring
high number of visitors. Agenda item 20,this deals specifically with the Old
Beach District, the Old Beach Overlay and what it does is, it allows short-
term rentals as a matter of right in the Old Beach Overlay provided that the
properties meet two specific standards. One is that, all requirements of
Section 241.2 are met. And the second is that the short-term rental property
is the principal residence and owned by the operator. What this would do is
allows for only one short-term rental per property owner. If these
requirements as listed are not met, the way this ordinance is written the
property owner would not have the opportunity to even apply for a CUP in
front of Council. They would either meet the requirements and be able to
operate as a short-term rental or they would be prohibited. Lastly item 21,
is a transition ordinance and this ordinance simply states that any property
that submitted an application to the Planning Department following the date,
these referral ordinances were referred to you which is June 9, would be
subject to these new rules immediately upon the approval of these
ordinances. For instance, an application that were submitted today even
though there are different rules than this in place, they would be subject to
the rules once this is approved by Council. I will be available for any
questions should they come up. Thank you Commissioners.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Kemp.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are 19 speakers signed up to speak. The first speaker
is DavidGrothmal, followed by Joseph Montana. Mr.Grothmal, please state
your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Grothmal: Madam Chairwoman, members of the Commission, I am David
Grothmal. I live at 219A, 68 Street, which is not in the Old Beach Area. But,
2
I believe that what you do today or whenever you do it is going to eventually
make its way throughout the areas that have short-term rentals. My concern
is with the second area, the Council's resolution that sent over the package
of ordinances says they are concerned about the short-term rental rentals
increasing too fast in the Old Beach neighborhood and other areas. And, I
felt like they needed to get a handle on it. I believe the goal is to preserve
these areas as residential neighborhoods and residential neighborhoods
should take precedence over short-term rentals. That means there should
be a majority of residences over short-term rentals. So, what is the majority,
is it 50%, you have 51% residence and 49 short-term rentals. No I do not
think so, it has to be a clear majority. So, I suggest to you that you need to
come up with a number of residences and short-term rentals that clearly
preserves the neighborhood as a primary residence. I am suggesting two
thirds and one-third or 65% and 35°/0. Using each Street as the place to
measure, if 22nd Street has 35% short-term rentals already then you do not
approve any more short-term rentals. That will make it easy and clear for
everybody to understand what is the maximum of short-term rentals that will
be allowed. I think that is the key to putting a halt on these applications. The
guidelines that you have in place now, do not do anything to halt the growth
of short-term rentals.Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions to the gentleman? Okay. Thank you so very
much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joseph Montano. Mr.
Montano is a virtual speaker, Mr. Montano, please pause for three seconds,
so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the
record. Thank you.
Mr. Montano:Good afternoon, Chairwoman Oliver and members of the Virginia Beach
Planning Commission. My name is Joseph Montana and I serve as the
Virginia Beach Government Affairs Manager for Expedia Group and its
family of travel brands. I would like to thank you all for the opportunity to
comment on Virginia Beach's efforts to amend existing short-term rental
law. By way of background Expedia Group is the world's travel platform with
leading websites such as Expedia.com, Orbitz, travelocity.com and many
others. We service the entire travel ecosystem from hotels and airlines to
rental cars and vacation rental. Our vacation rental company Vrbo is the
world leader in traditional or whole home vacation rentals. For 25 years Vrbo
and our local homeowners have been focused on serving travelling families.
In fact, our average customer booking travel on our platform is a 50-year-
old woman traveling with a family of four. that long standing focus on
3
responsible travel, translates to our collaborative approach to fair and
effective policies. Over the course of the last two months we have hosted
virtual town halls with our partners here in town, and it is been incredible to
hear their stories. Our property owner and manager partners have been
members of the Virginia Beach Community for decades. They find immense
pride in welcoming travelling families in their small slice of heaven and are
eager to comply with regulations set forth by this governing body. However,
both Expedia Group and our community of homeowners, managers, and
small business leaders are concerned with the current proposal, specifically
with regards to proposed amendment banning owners from offering
secondary homes or non-primary residences in certain areas of the city. We
believe there could be a better path forward that addresses the concerns of
the community, while at the same time protecting Virginia Beach's long
history of welcoming families to hold home rental. Expedia Group has
learned from hundreds of local efforts over the last 10 years that policies
work best when governments and platforms work together. A holistic
solution could help Virginia Beach in three key areas, tax collection,
compliance, and reasonable limits and they could include the following
platform tools. Vrbo would create a mandatory field for owners to enter their
short-term rental permit number in the same format as issued by the City.
Vrbo would also display the permit numbers on all new listings and existing
property list. Vrbo would remove any existing listing that does not display a
permit number and will prohibit any listings that do not display a permit
number. An alternative to the current primary only restriction that has
worked in other markets is a cap of 180 days per property. The city wide
180 day cap would allow Virginia Beach residents with a second home to
participate in the short-term rental market, would also dissuade individuals
looking solely for investment properties to put on a short-term rental market.
This policy of 180 day cap is one that Vrbo would support. As the leader in
traditional vacation rentals we stand ready to be a partner to you and your
Staff to ensure that the tradition of whole home vacation rentals continues
to be a part of Virginia Beach, vibrant accommodations marketplace. Thank
you again for your time and consideration.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Gretchen Heal, followed by
Betsy Atkinson. Ms. Heal, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Heal: Good afternoon. I am Gretchen Heal I work for the Hampton Roads Realtors
Association, and based on some of your comments in this morning session
4
I answered a few of our questions but I do have a few statements that they
have asked me to share with you on these four items. The Hampton Roads
Realtors Association recognizes the need to have property owners comply
with guidelines for operating short-term rentals and our members try to
ensure positive experiences for the neighbors of all the STRs that they
manage as well as the tourists visiting the city. However, we do have a few
concerns with the zoning violations that are different than others.And, again
you have addressed some of those concerns this morning, so, depending
on what you end up with your final decision that may go away. On this
second one, the grandfather clause, on this change we would ask you
consider including some more specific language on the parameters for
inactivity on a property that is scheduled to have its grandfather status
removed, when does the clock of the two years start, just a little more
definition around it, so, that people would know what those parameters are.
And,for all of the items if I am misunderstanding and I apologize but in 241.2
it applies to Sandbridge, and we would like that all any changes you make
do not apply to Sandbridge as far as short term rentals are concerned. That
is all.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Heal: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Betsy Atkinson, followed by
Paige Miyares. Ms.Atkinson, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Atkinson: Hi, I am Betsy Atkinson I am glad to be here to speak to you today.
We are teaming up a little bit here, but I would like to specifically talk about
grandfathering, I was on some of the original committees that created some
of these ordinances and one of the things that we all agreed on with that if
your grandfather the property it ran with the land. And, now you are trying
to take away the grandfathering by reducing it to only that you do not use it
for two years then you would not have the right to keep the grandfathering.
I would highly suggest to you to please not approve this. We have a lot of
situations, especially in the North End where, might be a mom and a dad
and then they might pass away the kids might move into the house and then
they might stay there a couple of years and then want to go back to having
short-term rentals like they had before. And, it is also good for marketing, if
somebody has a home that is been grandfathered with short-term rentals
and they will have the ability to continue short-term rentals without having
5
to come back to the CPU. So, I thank you very much for listening to me and
I hope you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Paige Miyares, followed by
Jim Moffat. Ms. Miyares, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Miyares:Paige Miyares. Thank you Madam Chair. Myname is Paige Miyares and I
am the principal broker of Atkinson Realty. I just want to say that the crux
of this issue really add it as a tourism issue. And, behind it is whether our
city really supports tourism and people coming here to spend their hard
earned money in our city. I think the consumer has spoken pretty loudly that
they want to stay in our cottages and especially in a post COVID-19 world,
habits of how we work vacation are changing even more rapidly. Many of
our business have expressed that they are on life support with the COVID
shutdown. And, the question I would ask is why are we looking at policies
that prohibit visitors to our city. Why are we pushing them to Myrtle Beach
and OBX, those are our competitors. As far as these regulations, there are
a couple often couraging signs to me, one is the fact that there is something
that actually says it is a needed resource in our city. I think that is true and
again I think the consumer has echoed that and then just the change to the
parking, because the discussion around parking just it goes on and on, it is
almost arbitrary, it seems a little capricious to me from an outside
perspective. And, so, something that says visually appealing and
environmentally responsible that is helpful to kind of cut through some of
measuring this it has to have this many spaces. The reality of these families
coming to visit is that they do not bring, it is a four bedroom house they are
not bringing four cars, I mean that is how it works practically. And, the other
thing I do just want to address is that it is very disturbing to see the new,
there is even been discussion here about do we follow the rules, do we go
outside the rules, do we add provisions, do we not add provisions and that
seems to be a little bit of an internal discussion, but to see some of these
applicants who has had their applications in since January, and how these
arbitrary amendments to limit the occupancy and to limit the amount of
reservations per week is troubling from an on looking citizen. And, it really
changed the dynamics for my family would increase the cost of vacation to
Virginia Beach and not by a little when you play with those numbers. So, I
think that has to be a consideration as we go forward and I think there are
ways to partner in a private public type setting to help increase the
accountability for these things and take the backlog off of the city. The
6
Beach borough making it by right which is something in one of the
ordinances, I support that for our communities that hug the shoreline, for
sure, because that is where we have traditionally had them that is where
the character of our neighborhoods include them. And, there should be
some by right pieces to the zoning that come forward. So just to know I
probably out of time, but I just want to reiterate that at the crux of this is, are
we a city that want families to come and stay here, do we want them to
come and spend their money here. We as an industry love these
neighborhoods, we want to protect them, we want them to be great places
to live, we have been and shown to be good partners with these
neighborhoods for over 80 years with the business that I do. So, is there is
any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions. No. Thank you, Paige.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is John Moffat, followed by Lynn
Hume. Mr. Moffat, please state your name for the record. Thankyou.
Mr. Tajan: Bill, I think it supposed to be Jim.
Mr. Landfair: Jim Moffat?
Mr. Tajan: Yes.
Mr. Moffat: I am not speaking.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry, okay. So, the next speaker is Lynn Hume.
Mr. Hume: Hello, my name is Lynn Hume and it is hard to believe we are back up here
again discussing short-term rentals. I have been a property owner in the
Shore Drive area since 1980s and I have got long-term rentals and short-
term rentals, that are grandfathered that have always been considered
second homes and vacation homes and they were built in the 50s and 70s.
Due to COVID-19, I am sure that many property owners have had to change
some of the short-term rentals in the long-term. Personally, we put some
doctors in one of our rentals, who were working in local hospitals, they left
for a while and now they want to come back and do a long-term rental. I
want to emphasize that as grandfathered properties are zoning and property
rights were already set last year, our current rights exist. Item19, the 24
month rule, allows the possibility to lose our grandfathered status, health,
economy, and various personal circumstances could change the use of our
property for a period of time, current rights should remain not subject to
being dismissed if not used in the 24 month period. This is not a conditional
7
use permit, grandfathered should run with the land. Item 18 allows for
harassment from neighbors and subject owners to either pay a fine,
considered guilty, or may to defend themselves. It appears that hateful
rhetoric from anti-short-term rental people has generated this amendment
to appease those who always dislike short-term rentals. We attended one
of those all Civic League Meetings this winter and the attitude, for snitching
and telling on people was rampant. Actually, it was like being in a foreign
country, a trash can left out too long could generate the report and fine. I
am not aware of any loud or disruptive short-term rentals in the Bay Area,
Cape Story, Ocean Park, and Shore Drive. Many people speaking
negatively do not even have short-term rentals near them. In comparison,
homeowners and long-term rentals create parking, noise, and trash
problems, and there are laws to deal with them. It is normal for residents in
the Beach Area to park cars, have parties, and big gatherings. It is the
beach. We have already spent two or three years hashing out the zoning
rules and in this troubled time with COVID-19, people are not aware of this
issue, it is come up again. It is our retirement income as well as many
others, and we planned according to these rules. We take pride in our
properties, you will be down zoning our current property rights, pleased
enough for the subject grandfathered properties to the threat of losing our
rights are subject us to targeted harassment and fines. Please leave the
grandfathered rules the way they are now without changes. Thanks for your
consideration.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair the next speaker on this item is Elaine Fekete, followed by
Joan Davis. Ms. Fekete, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Fekete: Hi, good afternoon. My name is Elaine Fekete and I moved to Sandbridge
25 years ago. I chose to live there even knowing that all the houses around
me were rentals and had been so for 50 years. So, the false narrative that
this is a new thing that we have to deal with is quite to the contrary. It is also
a false narrative that all short-term rentals are party houses. 11 years ago,
my husband and I started renting our home on a weekly basis and quickly
found that there was a demand for the shoulder seasons in the holidays, we
get people here who are parents of military children that are coming to visit
and want to stay under one roof. Parents who are traveling with their
children in the traveling sports leagues, business travelers who want to
bring their families and make a vacation of it, or families who simply cannot
afford to take off seven days from work. When we have renters, we move
out and we are not alone. Other owners move out of their homes at least
during the peak season. Still others use their second homes as rentals, so,
8
when the renters are not there the owners are. So, this brings me to the
same question I asked two years ago. How will the restrictions be enforced
when the home is owner occupied versus renter occupied? How will you
even know the difference? I am curious to know how many $25 trash
citations have been issued in the city in the last year, have they been issued
but resulted in no change in behavior or being ignored because if we are
not even forcing the $25 ones for the whole city, what is the point of adding
punitive ones to the rentals and how will you know if owners like myself are
the ones leaving the trash cans out versus the guest, how cumbersome is
that and I say cumbersome because the recommendations sent to you
states that it will make enforcement more timely and efficient and will
increase the ability to regulate short-term rental use without having to
navigate the somewhat cumbersome court process, I am kind of missing
the due process part there. Make no mistake the choice to stay in a home
versus a hotel is based on preference and availability. If summer guests
cannot rent homes here, they will go straight to the Outer Banks in Myrtle
Beach like Paige was saying. If parents with children in sports tournaments
cannot rent our homes during the tournament's, they will go inland.
Ordinance 241 .2 only went into effect last November,just three months later
in February Members of Council were ready to send it back to address
lessons learned. What lessons were learned from November to February?
There is zero evidence to support that all of the adjustments made by
homeowners and realty companies in the last year to conform to 241 .2 did
or did not work. There is no basis to go back to square one and debate
each and every component, and that is what will happen. I even heard the
word exit signs at the last Council Meeting. The ongoing hysteria that short-
term rentals are bad for neighborhoods is anecdotal and it is the exception
rather than the rule, you state that they should not change the characteristic
of the neighborhood and 99% of the cases they do not. A judge and I
believe it was Austin ruled that a family sitting at a dinner table in a
residence is a family sitting at a dinner table in a residence whether they
are the homeowners or whether they are the renters. But, the request to
review this situation was sent to you with terminology that reads additional
noise, trash, and other possible nuisances, and it is asking you to assume
that the negative connotations Council sees on STRs is fact based and not
biased. Our trashcans really the problem, just because you were asked to
review these regulations does not mean you have to conclude that changes
are needed at this point. You can determine that we should at least look at
what has been done and see if it works first. Thank you for listening.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joan Davis, followed by
Gayle Mottola. Ms. Davis, please state your name for the record.
Speaker: Joan is not here.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry. Okay. So, we will move on to Erica Atkins. Next speaker is
Erica Atkins. Ms. Atkins is a virtual speaker. Ms. Atkins, please pause for
three seconds, so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your
name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Atkins: Hi, this is Erica Atkins, I agree with everything that the previous speaker
said, I do not feel like there is been enough time to really gauge what affects
the short-term rentals in this area have under the new rules and regulations
and I really think that there should be more time before any other changes
are put into place.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, we do have Gayle Mottola here.
Ms. Mottola: Good afternoon. I am Gayle Mottola I live at 115, 88th Street in Virginia
Beach. I support the comments made by Mrs. Parker from the July, 20,
2020, Public Hearing. The beach and fourth story located above Shore
Drive are daytime activities for visitors, not requiring overnight
accommodations. Stewardship of history and the preservation of natural
habitat is questioned as the Planning Commission and Zoning Commission
first quietly and then outwardly tried to change a residential one single family
neighborhood with some duplexes into two homes per small lot, often with
different principal owners who can then rent out their properties with a
conditional status of short-term rental. A case in point is a recent variance
recommended for a builder from Richmond by zoning, who after the hearing
told his perspective neighbors, he plan to live in one home, but he already
had a potential buyer for the second structure on the same lot. That means
two principal owners per lot, both of whom, who could apply for STR status.
Given, that there are six potential buildings going up on the same block of
88th Street, which was once the Cape Henry Syndicate bought from the
Cape Henry Park a land company in 1899, and plotted in 1900, for single
family homes. The density of that block increases by how many people and
how many cars. A second case, we just welcomed unemployed couple of
working age with their three younger children as they moved into the
neighborhood. Is not this what Virginia Beach model a City of a lifetime
means, are we losing residents. Have they not insisted that they have legal
parking spaces instead of the illegal ones put in by then owner of the two
10
structures on the nonconforming land to meet parking requirements for STR
stop. Those parking spaces were in the city signed, no parking zone at the
ocean side corner of 88thStreet and Atlantic making visibility obstructed to
enter Atlantic Avenue. Then the neighborhood would have had to endure
four bedrooms at three persons per bedroom and how many cars if every
two people had one car, the answer, 12 people six cars. The summer the
corner duplex at 201 , 87th was approved and the bedroom was approved
also at 116, 88th Street and now 114-A and B are for sale. They have eight
bedrooms. That could mean a total in two rentals per week of 48 people,
i.e., three times eight bedrooms times two, meaning also a great over limit
of cars. A traffic jam for delivery trucks meeting those looking for a free
parking space to go to the beach occurs regularly in the summer now. The
primary tourist area charges up to $10 for a few hours. The powers that
were made the historic North End especially about Shore Drive 2015, a
district based on the Old Beach Overlay of 2005, distinctly near hotels and
motels and home renting rooms in the well-established tourist area that has
been since 1906. But, that is not the North End demographic, many homes
have passed down to children and grandchildren, the North End is a
residential area with mostly permanent residents and those who come to
enjoy their beach home for the summer. Traffic is another matter, which I
will not address. Again, the beach and Fort Story, a historic part of our city
that Cape Henry area should be treasured and should not go to make
commercial profit. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Mike Megge, followed by
Chris Edel.
Mr. Megge: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Members of Council. I would like to
thank all your hard work on this issue. I am here today to point out we spent
years coming up with his current ordinance. And, as owners we have
worked and planned our futures on the agreement that we came up with
less than a year ago. As you know, restricting property rights of citizens by
changing zoning laws as a taking and by such the government should justly
compensate those owners. If it does cause harm to those owners, and I
hope we do not go down that road. I understand if you feel the need to
further restrict short-term rentals with conditional use permits as is you are
right. But I would like to see the data that the city has compiled for these
changes. I again, I asked you to protect the existing rights of the
grandfathered and by right STR owners. I know this issue has been
contentious, but we all came together over the past several years with
11
many, many meetings, public hearings and we came up with a draft a
compromised ordinance that was thoroughly debated, voted on, and
passed by both the Planning Commission and City Council. The new
proposal would be a little like telling an owner of a duplex, if he owns a
duplex zoned lot, that if you do not build that duplex in the next two years,
you are going to lose that right. I just do not think that is the right way of
going. Also, giving zoning inspectors policing rights, allowing them to issue
monetary fines without due process is a very slippery slope. I just do not
see how that would be legal, if it is not applied equally to all renters or to all
property owners by that right. Again, I just think it is a slippery slope and an
enormous overreach by the government. Mr. Kemp said it would be easier
for the city to enforce, but I believe due process should be shaded on the
side of the owner and not on government. Like I said before, you have the
right to restrict new STRs with conditional use permits, but again I would
like to see that data, why you are restricting them since we have just came
up with an ordinance less than a year ago. But, again I would like to stress
that the current ordinance should be respected and the rights of current
STRs must be protected. Thank you very much,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Chris Edel, followed by Steve
Bishard.
Mr. Edel: Good afternoon, Madam Chairman and members of Planning Commission.
My name is Chris Edel, I do have some handouts from around, hopefully
you will have a copy of. I am here today primarily to speak with regards to
Old Beach where myself and have a partner Bob Taylor, we have
approximately 10 short-term rentals that are all approved by Council, and in
operation. Okay, so my company VB Holmes has been building at the beach
for over 30 years now. We were very active with an Old Beach particularly
with the overlay that they put together, we partner with a neighborhood to
find a way to improve the character of the neighborhood, reduced density if
possible. And, I think we put that together with Barbara Yates and since that
time, over the last eight years our company alone has invested over $10
million in redevelopment of that neighborhood, and what you have before
you here is just a few examples, most of which are east of Baltic, but on the
first page you have 317, 26th Street, this was a tired 50-year-old six unit
apartment building that now is to the right you will see the after which is now
two single family homes, that 317, 26th Street that operated for probably
over 30 years as a short-term rental. I know that for a fact by the person I
bought it from, Mary Grace Thomas had ran that year round and as well as
short-term rentals. Below that, on 27th and Arctic, you can see it is an older
12
55-year-old eight unit apartment complex and we partnered with the
Georgia Joyce Seco that you are going to hear from this afternoon as well,
to take that from eight tired apartments to four new single family homes and,
so, those are just a few examples. The next page one more example on
27th and Arctic, that was a four unit again, very tired blighted property that
had been rundown. And, now there are two brand new single family homes
on that property, so, that is an example of just a few that we have done and
there is certainly others, but I wanted to point that out. The next page, page
three is called Old Beach Revitalization Future Opportunities, these two
properties one at 417, 24th Street 10 unit apartment property and then 416,
24th is a duplex both pretty old tired properties, owned by Mark Ulmer. He
could not be here today, but he asked me to share with you his thoughts on
whether or not he would redevelop these properties and he said to me, he
said Chris I have had these properties for years and if I am not able to
redevelop these as short-term rentals, I am just going to keep them the way
they are, I am just going to keep bandaging them up, they would not go
away, why because there is no economic reason, there is no financial
reason for him to improve these properties. So, he wanted me to share that
with you and these are just a couple examples of others that he owns, he
owns many properties. Page 4, 308, 25th-and-a-half again you can see a
very tired old duplex that I have involved with and the owner of that property.
The one below that 2602, Baltic Avenue, which is a 50-year-old five unit
apartment building facing Baltic, again all of these are Baltic East. But,these
are a couple properties that need to go away, they need to have brand new
single family homes and will have those, but they would not if we are going
to get too restricted in what we can do with those. The next page is actually
the Old Beach Overlay, this is right out of the guidelines, the map here.
Okay, great, because this is just a suggestion and something that we have
talked about and that is, if you see the orange line which is highlighting
Baltic Avenue and this runs right through Old Beach, most of this is Old
Beach. But, if you look from the orange line Baltic Avenue East towards the
ocean, most all of that is rental property and in zone that way, as you look
from Baltic Avenue or Western Baltic Avenue, it becomes more residential,
more year round residents living there. So, it somewhat splits the
neighborhood, but the reasons are simple it is because of the proximity to
the resort and all the things that we want our guests coming here to enjoy
and take advantage of. So, one suggestion is to potentially use that as a
development zone for having short-term rentals East or Baltic Avenue East
that would not require conditional use, but that you would potentially require
conditional use west of Baltic Avenue. And, then the next page, which is just
13
a summary that Bob Taylor and I put together just some thoughts and some
suggestions, ideas. First and foremost, the fact that Old Beach is being
singled out as the only area in the beach, that would require a short-term
rentals to be someone's principal residence, I just do not understand that at
all. Effectively, we are saying, we are not going to have any short-term
rentals. There are many people including myself and again I have told you,
we have invested millions of dollars in Old Beach and we do not own all of
these properties, we do sell some. But, the ones that we do own that is out
the window down for us, and many others that you're going to hear from
here today. And, I do not understand why that would make for a better
experience, just because someone is their principal residence and very
likely they are not even living their while the rentals taking place. So, at any
rate, that is one it certainly we do not agree with. And, the next paragraph
noise and trash, again I do not think that some of the other speakers have
said that there is really any evidence here that there is a real problem issue
with specifically with just short-term rentals in that regard. But, if we need to
have more trash cans we will buy more trash cans and that is fine and that
is going to help solve the issue, I do not know, I am not sure. It does state
in the ordinance that the short-term rentals are needed resource in certain
areas of the city located in close proximity to venues, districts, and areas
that generate high volume of people or visitors. Where else in the world is
a better example than Old Beach, we were right down the others ordinary.
I mean, that to me is a perfect place, and now we have the new sports
complex, all these families come to the sports complex sure some are going
to go hotel, but not all want to go to hotels, there are families traveling here.
They want a safe environment, they can come, maybe cook some meals in
the house, and we provide that for them in very close proximity. The
ordinance change about imposing fines, that is fine because if you want to
make bigger fines we want to be the model example for professional
managed short-term rentals, so, we do not plan on breaking rules. And, if
we do and there is a larger fine so be it, so we are okay with that. But, the
end there are opportunities to consider certainly the OR Oceanfront Resort,
I do not feel and neither does my partner feel like that should be even
included as a conditional use permit it is just going to bog down the system
there is hotels and motels all over the OR and I do not feel like that should
be even necessary. The second page there, that I did speak to just a little
bit ago and we are referring to as an approved short-term rental zone again
Baltic Avenue East is what we are recommending and that is where the
guests want to go. They want to be down and they are close to the resort
area. Professional management, I can tell you all of our rentals are
14
professionally managed, I think that is key. There are many people out there
trying to either do it themselves or maybe some of these people that live in
their home may be trying to do it, but there is no substitute for professional
management and all of ours are that way and I would suggest that maybe
there is a way to incorporate that in the ordinance that they need to be
professionally managed. There is a workshop and that you all had and just
talking about a couple points there, parking there was a discussion about
garages, okay garages should not be included. I can tell you in our
properties that have garages that can fit a car, we use them, in someone's
home you are going to put stuff in there, beach tear, bikes, or whatever may
be, but in the short-term rental you do not need a place for all that stuff. So,
we might have a couple beach tears, but that is about it and, so, we do use
them for parking I would suggest that that would be something that should
count. Number of stays a week, right now the ordinance is two stays a week
and I think that it is a great compromise. Not everybody can afford a week's
vacation, there is plenty of guests that want to come to Virginia Beach, but
they can only do a long weekend three or four days and so, I think it is totally
appropriate to be able to allow for that. Number of occupants, right now
currently three per bedroom. I know speaking for myself and my partner I
would be fine if we limit the house itself to 10 or 15. We are not looking for
the big mega events and that that kind of goes to the next item events. We
do not want the big parties, we actually prohibit parties in our homes. So,
again, that is just something that that we are not interested in, we are happy
if we want to reduce the number of people, you think that would be helpful.
Our typical profile of guests are families that are traveling here to the beach,
one last thing on signage on the back.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry Chris.
Mr. Edel: Eddie told me I had 10 minutes, so, I guess I can have 10 minutes. Oh it's
10 minutes? Oh my god, I am sorry. Alright, thank you all.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Steve Bishard, followed by
Joyce Sico.
Mr. Bishard: Good morning. Thank you for allowing me to speak, I have some handouts.
My named Steven Bishard, Bishard Homes in related entities. I just want
to speak about in general, the short-term rental ordinance proposal, I feel
like you should give it a time to season. Give it time to see if it works. We
really have not had a chance to see if the recently adopted ordinance is
going to work or not. Anyhow, about 15 years ago at the request of Karen
Lesley the Zoning Administrator in the past and Barbara Yates, I was asked
15
to serve on the Old Beach Overlay District Committee to come up with a
compatible residential redevelopment ordinance that would do away or try
to do away in the proper way of three storey box duplexes and successfully
served on that committee, and I think we can say that we have seen the
results of the resiliency and the transformation that is taking place in the Old
Beach Community by number one the city, number two the community, and
number three private business developers working together, and I
appreciate the comment it is like a prerecorded speaker earlier, the best
way to deal with this is when all the parties come together, partner together,
listen to one another and come up with agreeable solutions to a business
enterprise short-term rentals. That is a needed way for families to vacation.
Some of them do not want to go to hotels. Some of them want to go to
homes, I prefer to go to homes, my wife loves to go to homes, particularly
in an environment like COVID-19, I would not want to go to a hotel, I want
to go to a house that is just recently been cleaned and it is safer for people
and people feel better about it.Anyway, over those last 15 years since 2005,
when that committee started and successfully produced a great ordinance.
We have done a tremendous amount of redevelopment you will see it in the
packet. We also acquired tremendous amount of rental properties, when we
bought these properties, we took them up to the next level of standard. We
did not leave them as blighted properties, we brought them up. I will say
that many of the properties that we purchased though, very much were
blighted properties. As Chris Edel mentioned I echo what he shared today.
Some of these properties we bought their rentals that rented for $600 to
$800 a month. There was a high turnover rate and they were problematic.
Since,' have entered the short-term rental business it has not been that
long. I can tell you that the management company that I have, same one
Chris Edel has stellar performance, had no problems. They are proactive
and matter of fact, the management company that we use to hire lives right
in the Old Beach community. I mean he walks, rides his bike through the
community, checks on the properties that he manages. So, I think,
management, I think you agree is a critical component, the proper proactive
management of these properties through a professional company. So, as I
was saying we have recently entered the short-term rental business hired
Knob LLC, lives in the Old Beach Community and they found that the short-
term rentals have less management problems, less calls than year around
rentals have. We are having a much better time with a lot less problems
with the short-term rentals from a management perspective. And, the spirit
of me being up here today is a spirit of partnership. When I served on the
committee in 2005, I embraced what they wanted to do and had been
16
working in that community since then, buying rental properties in that
community since then. And, I see myself as a resident, not Old Beach I live
in Lincoln Park, but a resident of the city that really cares about that
community. I do not want to see that community, go down. I think actually
what has happened is it is going up and the short-term rental business is
helping that, I do not see that it has hurting it. I have asked the question
with an open mind, how many problems have you seen in the Old Beach
Community ,this is from the management company I was referring to, has
not seen a problem in the Old Beach Community, you can speak him later.
I am not sure he has had to evict one person had to have a police to a
property. So, we appreciate the desire, but I just hope that we will open up
to what the reality really is, come up with a viable solution through partnering
with the community, businesses, and the city that is working hard on it to
have a solution that we can go on with. One of the ideas that that came up
was having a short-term rental sign on each of the short-term rental
properties, that if somebody does have a problem they can call the
management company, very quickly. This will be a uniform, attractive,
standardized sign that we could have throughout the Old Beach. If you have
a problem just call the management company on the side. Again, manager
lives in the neighborhood. One of the things that I have seen since I have
entered the business, the expenditures to keep these properties at the
highest level, they are up there. I mean we are spending some serious
money to take landscaping to the next point, to the next level, decks, any
kind of amenities that people might want, we are spending a lot more money
than we do year around rentals and we need to. Some of the suggestions,
as I mentioned before, what about a taskforce, a committee to come
together, guys like myself, Chris Edel, and others, will meet with the
community of the Old Beach. Be glad to meet with them and come up with
something that works for example, anything East Baltic Avenue with a Baltic
Avenue address east to the ocean, maybe that is a buy right short-term
rental. If it is in some of the more year around residential streets maybe that
is a conditional use permit. Consider giving it some time for this ordinance
to really sink in and see if it works. I really do not think we have given it
enough time to see if it works and if it does not work, I think we can find
some solutions to make it work. In the spirit of partnership, our company
just wants to be a model, an example for how to manage it, to be
responsible, willing to give our phone number out. I have met with a few of
the Planning Commissioners, we are here, I mean we live close, want to
talk to us management company is not doing it we are here. We are
available and we will be available and continue to be so. I just want to close
17
by pointing out two properties on this handout I gave you. You can take a
look. I think on your handout a little different than my handouts as far as the
way it's laid out. Take a look at page six, and then we will go to page seven
after that. We bought this property at 501, 504, 25th Street and 2500, 2512,
25-1/2 when we bought it, guy was running a gambling operation there. I
knew it because I knew somebody who kept going to it, it is a friend of mine
I grew up with and he was running a black market gambling operation there
and he had five or six little shack units I guess the people that would come
and gamble there and would stay there. We bought this property, turn it into
four beautiful houses. Now, we sold these houses but nevertheless this is
really enhanced the neighborhood in a dynamic way. And,then if you go to
seven, this is a property many of you have seen across from the Old Beach,
very nice Middle School on 24th Street, Mediterranean Avenue. This is an
individual that I bought from, he owned these two houses and had a lot of
people packed in his house, way more units than what we put back on it.
We put six units back on it, we did again sell these but this is an example of
how you can take multi units, reduce the density, and you can either sell
them, you can rent them year round, or relate to this specific meeting today,
you can do short-term rentals. We own a property at 426, 23rd Street
recently and I thank you, you all approved the short-term rental application
for us, has three units on it. If I see, it makes sense I am going to tear that
old build down and put two units on it, brand new homes and might be a
way for me to redevelop a neighborhood that Barbara Yates back in 2005,
was proactively and actively eager to redevelop with the community. So,
anyway, I appreciate you listening, do give it a chance, I think there is an
opportunity to have a win, win for everybody in the situation. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes, I am sorry, go ahead.
Mr. Redmond: Mr.Bishard, do not come back up, but I wanted to respond to
something that you said I think it is something that there is just repeating
and a lot of thought I am a sucker for landscaping. I do not think it is that
complicated stuff, but it makes an enormous difference, and to you and Mr.
Edel and to the other folks who do this, I know that you do a good job of it.
And, I would just like for the general good to say, if you take a property and
you make it the sparkling property on the street, it is very difficult to be
villainized.And, a lot of the people who might otherwise criticize or complain
or have a problem with anything that you do are pretty easily disarmed when
they can trash their own place to the sparkling house on the street or houses
as the case may be, so I appreciate you bringing that up, I do think that
landscaping particularly intensive, well designed, appropriate landscaping
18
can make a big difference in the appearance of these properties. And, I
think that makes a giant difference inall of our communities, not just Old
Beach or the Oceanfront or Shore Drive or anywhere else. So, I appreciate
you bringing that piece up and I repeat it because I think it is something that
we all want to keep in mind, and in the development community particularly
that is a difference maker and something I think can kind of help carry the
day forward. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Landfair.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joyce Sico, followed by
George Sico.
Ms. Sico: Hi, I am Joyce Sico, and I am 70 years old and I am retired, and my dream
has just about come true, because I owned when you get the flyers, the
property in the top picture, which was 2606 and 2608, and it was about a
50-year-old apartment building that was really good to be a chore to keep
fixed and I worked with Chris Edel and we developed it into four single family
homes, and the landscaping is beautiful on most homes I might add and I
kept two for myself. And, they are leased yearly I do not do weeklies, but in
the future I do not want to be an owner occupied at this time. I will in the
future probably in about five years, I plan on living in one. And, I will either
do weeklies in one or I might live in mine for nine months and do weeklies
and all the three months in the summer and travel and that is really my
dream. I have worked for over 25 years, keeping this property in shape and
then developing it. And, I have a daughter in New York, who will eventually
owner occupy the second home. And, she is the only daughter I have left, I
have one grandson and one great granddaughter, and that is my dream to
have my family here something to hand it down to them. But, with the new
ordinance, I could not really do the weeklies like I would like to until that
point. So, thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is George Sico, followed by
Frank Ramaekers.
Mr. Sico: Good afternoon. I am George Sico, I have the property on 400 and 402,
26-1/2 Street. And, originally, as we said before it was eight apartment units,
we did summer rental for 25 years and we only had three parking places,
and the whole thing we coped everybody we worked with it, and we did not
have a big problem with it. Nobody really complained even our neighbors
did not. So, we decided to redevelop it because the lifetime of the building
19
was pretty much it was his lifetime 50 years. My wife said we are planning
on living in one and sometimes rent the other one out fora short-term rental,
the way it stands now, I would not be able to probably do that, but the
property changed now. And, the thing about the parking is that we have had
construction on the Hyatt on 27th and Atlantic and is not complaining about
the parking, since they have been all summer long. They cannot use the
parking lot at the Hyatt because that is been used for the summer. So, they
come down and contractors are parked all along Artic Avenue and 27th,right
in front of our places, which has not been a problem, but I do not know about
the problem with the parking with the short-term route. If they had more than
two cars, they had three cars there is still room to park, if you want to on the
street it is a matter of just opinion and where you are going to park the cars.
And, there is garages too which I do not understand why you cannot use a
garage as a third parking space, you have got room for three cars, not two
in the driveway. And, I just do not understand this, how we are going to go
through all this again. But, anyways, that is my statement. Thank you for
hearing me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Frank Ramaekers, followed
by Eddie Bourdon.
Mr. Ramaekers: Okay. Our family purchased two residential homes 318, 27th Street.
First of all, I am Frank Ramaekers III. I reside at 429, 26th Street in Virginia
Beach in the Old Beach neighborhood. Our family purchased two residential
homes 318, 27th Street and built in 1935, which you can see on the second
page, it is a great home. And,429, 26thStreet built in 1939, both homes have
been placed in the Virginia Beach historical register with bronze plaque
attached to both homes. The homes have been remodeled and preserved
in original construction dating back to the 1930s, does preserving the Old
Beach neighborhood. They are kept in immaculate condition to appease our
guests and to develop superb curb appeal for the Old Beach neighborhood.
429, 26this my permanent residence and is shared during the summer
months with guests who visit Virginia Beach ad surrounding area. 318, 27th
Street is a short-term rental year around 365 days a year. We also have a
10 unit apartment complex located on 26th Street, which is kept in
immaculate condition every single blade of grass is cut perfectly. It is our
neighborhood, my neighborhood, my three children, my wife, and my
parents also involve and residing in this neighborhood and it is important to
us that everything is kept perfect. I also host numerous homes in Old Beach
neighborhood and I use the term host because I interact with the guests to
20
be sure the visit to our city is excellent, is flawless. Every guest when they
enter the home, receive a binder. You look in the last page, you will see
what it states. Upon the arrival of guests we see this binder and they agreed
to the rules and regulations, which they are stated here in the binder and
they also agreed to them electronically when they make the reservation
through Vrbr Airbnb. I just want to publicly state these rules and regulations
which guests agree to, it says "hello guest, thank you for choosing our
home, welcome to Virginia Beach to beach life, relax, and enjoy. Check in
time is four and checkout is 11, please make note of these times as our
cleaning staff needs this time thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the hall."
Especially during this time COVID-19, our guests appreciate the homes
because they are thoroughly sanitized, we do a CDC recommended
cleaning in the homes. Your home is in a residential area and your
neighbors reside here all year. We understand you are here to relax and
enjoy our beautiful beaches, but please respect their privacy and the
Virginia City Ordinance of quiet hours from 10pm to 7am. Virginia Beach
City violation of these quiet hours will result in immediate departure. I have
had hundreds of reservations through our homes in the homes that I also
host, and I have not had any problems, zero problems with the guests. At
this current time, I have over 100 guests, my phone does not ring. So, I do
not understand why the ordinances must be changed because I have zero
issues at the present time .Down at the bottom parking, designated parking
is provided for you. You may park two vehicles in the driveway, one vehicle
in the garage, please do not block the sidewalk, as it is disrespectful to the
pedestrians and our neighbors, you will be towed if blocking the sidewalk.
If you need additional parking please contact somebody "me" and I can
direct you to the parking. There is a public parking garage on 25th street, I
direct individuals there and I tell them it is $20 a night and in New York City's
$100 a night. And, that is where they park at if necessary. We always the
parking is controlled thoroughly. You guys have any questions, I appreciate
your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Ramaekers: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Eddie Bourdon, followed by
Samuel Jones.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Landfair, Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the
record Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney I do not have a handout.
The first thing I want to talk about is, I want to say, Mr. McGee's comments
21
on item 18, because I and my clients do not have any problems with the
fines, but his one comment was spot on not to say, other ones were not.
The fact that we are putting a scarlet letter on short-term rentals by having
these fines that only apply to short-term rentals does not make sense to me
because I guarantee you, I have not asked Mr. Kemp, but I guarantee you,
we have a lot more problems in this city with code compliance with long-
term rentals. Okay. No doubt about it. So, the fines should not just apply to
short-term rentals they should apply to any property that is rented. This
short-term rentals are not anywhere close to the problem of compliance as
long-term rental or the yearly rental. That is even completely not arguable.
Okay, on number 19, the grandfathered or I consider they are legally
nonconforming. I will just simply say that everything else that deals with
legal nonconformance pretty certain goes to the Zoning Administrator, the
Board of Zoning appeals to court. I am not really sure why the Planning
Director is the one making the decisions on these on the 2600, short-term
rentals that are grandfathered or legally nonconforming. It seems a little bit
odd to me, but anyway. And what constitutes abandonment, there is a lot of
different tentacles to what constitutes abandonment as well. And, there is
legal precedent on that issue when it comes to nonconforming use and the
abatement of nonconforming use. And, I think that is why it belongs in the
Zoning Administrator BZA, quasi-judicial BZA, and court. As for the changes
to the ordinance the findings, characteristics of the neighborhood Mr.
Grockmal it is a false narrative that he put out there, because what is
residential short-term rentals are residential, long-term rentals are
residential, and short-term is less than 30 days under your ordinance, and
owner occupied it they are all residential. Maybe, there is a distinction
between owner occupied single family and rental, whether it is short-term
or long-term, I would submit that short-term, the vast majority of cases is a
better situation when it comes to the upkeep maintenance etc. of the
property than long-term, especially in areas like Old Beach, which have
needed for decades redevelopment. So, characteristics of a neighborhood
or portion of neighborhood like Baltic East which is probably 75% rental and
has been forever. What is the characteristic, it is not single family owner
occupied, which I would submit probably is close to the majority it may well
be the majority on those areas West of Baltic and Old Beach. The idea that
Old Beach should be dealt with differently than Lakewood or Sea Pines, or
maybe even Shadow Lawn, the Shadow Lawn is different. I do not
understand why we are doing this part of the Oceanfront Resort and not
Lakewood to the South and Sea Pines to the North of 31st Street. But
anyway, and I said this at the workshop under number four, this needed as
22
a comp plan term, it should not say needed. We should not be in the
business other than a comp plan of suggesting what we need or we want.
It should be compatible resource, not a needed resource, although it is
needed in Old Beach for the portions that we have talked about and it is
also needed on 21st and 22nd Street as I have said previously, Norfolk
Avenue other main thoroughfares. Arctic and Baltic, no matter what you
say.it does see on a nice job with trying to calm the traffic, but that North-
South corridor of Arctic and Baltic, there are going to always be heavily
trafficked. And, it is different than once you get West of Baltic ran into
Barbara Yates, I was going to relate this at the workshop and did not have
time. At the vet about month and a half ago and Mr. Bishard and Mr.Edel
have been involved with Old Beach from a legal standpoint, but Staff and
Karen Lasily, etc. has been a great process over the years, and the first
thing Barbara said is, can you believe how great Old Beach is looking. I
cannot believe that Artic Avenue looks as good as it does. And, Barbara
has done even that and I said Barbara, yet it has been fantastic. You do
realize that short-term rentals has been a big part of that Arctic, because
Arctic and Baltic just like 21st and 22nd always been a thorn in the city side
in terms of how do we get that to redevelop and putting more density, was
the old way and it turns out we can do it with less density, because of short-
term rentals and she said you know I do not like short-term rentals but I got
to say Arctic Avenue is looking extremely good and I did not think I lived to
see that happen. So, this idea that the Chairperson said this morning that
Old Beach has been hit hard by short-term rentals, I am not seeing that
whatsoever. And, we are seeing a reduction in the number of units on a lot
of these, and with the occupancy restrictions that apply to short-term rentals
that do not apply to people renting for more than 30 days in the same
neighborhood. And ,that is in here too, some of the languages a little
questionable I think some time needs to be spent on working on it, but we
are not at all opposed to the fines and really not particularly opposed to the
stuff in 19 although, again I do not think it is as good as it should be. On the
Old Beach part, it looks to me like it is a solution in search of a problem.
There are 2600 short-term rentals that are grandfathered legally non-
conforming. There have been 196 applications filed for short-term rental
CUPs since the ordinance went into effect. That is 7.5% of the ones that
already exist. The short-term rentals that have been approved by council
62,that is 3% of the short-term rentals that already exist. Our statistics that
I have that were presented to RAC and some of the people by the city, so,
there has been 63 short-term rental applications in the OR District. There
is no OR District in Old Beach I do not know where those have been
23
because I have not seen them. And, as I have said previously, why short-
term rentals CUP is needed in the OR District is beyond me it does not
make any sense at all. It is not a "neighborhood" as everybody uses that
term. So, it does not make a lot of sense, but most importantly there are
only 28 short-term rental applications, 1% of those that exist that have been
submitted and I believe acted upon or in the process of being acted upon in
all of Old Beach 28. That is my point of a solution in search of a problem.
That is 1% of the existing short-term rentals and then Old Beach is just a
small subset, as I said earlier, of the Oceanfront Area and I do not know
why it is being dealt with separately from Lakewood, Sea Pines, or
potentially Shadow Lawn. Also, city statistics show there are other short-
term rentals in the city, there are 29% in the Beach District, 29%. Now,
Princess Anne has the largest cause of Sandbridge, but that is still not an
overwhelming percentage. Old Beach is finally experiencing at a more rapid
pace, a long overdue and long encouraged by the city redevelopment. It is
an organic redevelopment, city has helped, but it is mainly the investments
that are being made by not just the folks that are here but there are others
as well, Ken Hunt comes to mind. Do in large part to short-term rentals and
many with an accompanying reduction in density, and certainly a better
control over who is there and what they are doing, what they are spending.
They are going to spend more money at the resort, because they are here
for a vacation. And, you or I would come down and stay on Baltic or Arctic
or 21 st or 22nd street or Norfolk Avenue for four or five days or a week, but
somebody might not really want to live on those heavily traffic streets 365.
It is different from back in the area where there is not a lot of traffic. And, as
a Commission has a city we should be a little bit more thorough in how we
try to, we do not want to kill the golden goose and that is what this really is
in some parts of the city, not necessarily in Croatan, not necessarily at the
North End, but here in these areas that have been blighted in for years
needed redevelopment. It is a great asset and truly same is true for
Lakewood, and the other areas there, we should not be putting a scarlet
letter on something that there is no evidence is a big problem. Lastly, the
idea of by right owner occupied makes no sense to me. Okay, they just want
to use from it too because what if you have some people it is great, I have
one in Croatan and I would not get all details but bottom line, a lady with a
baby by a new husband, a 13-year-old daughter they were renting out
rooms in their house a year, this was going back four or five years ago. I
had everybody in my block, what can we do this is crazy. Why would they
let people move in the house for a weekend with their infant and a 13-year-
old daughter. So, owner occupied short-term rentals can be great, do not
24
get me wrong, but it is not a panacea. It should be governed by use permit
as well.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you. Do I have to answer any question?
Ms. Oliver: No, I think. Thank you, though. We will be back.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the last registered speaker on this item is Samuel Jones.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Jones: Good afternoon. I hope you guys can hear me. I appreciate the opportunity
to speak. I guess, I was 22 years old I left Virginia Beach and it is been six
years of my life commercially fishing in the North and South Pacific.I started
a family in 98, and bought a triplex on 27th Street that same year, since
then I have moved to the 500 Block of 26th Street. So, I have been living in
Old Beach now for 22 years. I am late to this party, but I spent last night
watching the July 8, meeting with the Planning Commission. I am a small
business owner. By day I wear toolbelt. So, in reality, the properties I own
in Old Beach are my retirement. One of the concerns I am addressing you
guys, I guess it would be agenda 20. In the future, my triplex is rented yearly
at the moment and has been since 2001.At some point, I may want to look
at doing short-term rentals. These gentlemen to my right and in the back,
they are obviously having success. The Old Beach Overlay has made my
neighborhood better. Some may say I live in a blighted home I live in a little
three bedroom and one bath that was built back in 54. I am not ripping it
down, I like my backyard. And, I am going to continue to update it. In the
past year, my wife came down with breast cancer and through this whole
transition our dream is possibly to rent our home and maybe go to France
for a couple weeks in the summertime. But what I see if you really want to
look at Old Beach and look at really who owns the properties and the
number of short-term rentals, the number of annual rentals I think a lot of
the tax records show that a lot of LLCs, own a lot of properties. I would vary
to say that the permanent homeowners are in the minority and it is a very
cool little neighborhood. I play tennis on 26th Street a couple times a week,
I surf out front. But, with that said, I have for short-term rentals between on
Mediterranean right. In the 600 block and the families that do rent those
home walk by past my house every day going to the beach and it is kind of
nice seeing people go walk and go to the beach. This morning I stopped a
couple and presently painting and redoing the hardwood floors and my
rental on 27th and they are doing three days, they are spending $300 a
25
night they are from Richmond. They are actually staying in not a very nice
unit. So, we have a pretty big we got these brand new homes that Chris
Edel has developed and then we still have some older stuff that is
considered blighted. That may not ever go away or maybe not transition out
as soon as the public wants. So, I want you guys to consider and respect
the older residents and the possibility of being able to use the properties
that we have invested in for future. And, there should never be a cap on the
number of short-term rentals or weekly rentals, because even if it's East or
West of Baltic .And, then on the agenda 20, I think that again I hope you
guys taking consideration any type of future investments and in future
people wanting to do short-term rentals and not alienate them if the
numbers, there is too many in the neighborhood. I honestly as a resident,
we are different than Shadow Lawn and we are different than North End.
We are very close to the hub of the oceanfront and at the moment it looks
like we are doing a good job of creating a nice neighborhood for short-term
rentals, weekly rentals and even annual renters, and homeowners to live in.
So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me for a second, I did not catch your name at the beginning.
Mr. Jones: I am Samuel Jones.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Jones, you are not late to this party, I thought your comments
were very valuable and I also want to say, we wish the best for your wife
and your whole family.
Mr. Jones: Yeah, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, at this time we would like to ask if there are any other
speakers present either in the lobby, or in the chamber that would like to
speak. Anyone?
Mr. Sanders: No one in the lobby.
Mr. Landfair: Okay. It would appear that there are no more known speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Well, I think we will close this now and then up our Planning
Commission.
26
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, let us close it and then we will open up for discussion and we will
move through these one at a time, and do we want to wait for Mr.Redmond
to come up we want him to catch up.
Mr. Weiner: I would like comment if I could Staff anyway. I do not have problem with
fines, but Mr.Bourdon bought up a good point. Why are we just picking on
short-term rentals and there is a lot of other rentals out there in the city that
have problems, long-term rentals. I mean I know why are preying on short-
term rentals, but we thought about that about long-term rentals too.
Mr. Tajan: As my understanding that because of the turnaround on short-term rentals
and that the regular zoning enforcement process of a 30-day notice, and
then going to the Board of Zoning appeals for some of these issues is a bit
cumbersome and by the time someone gets through that process the
season is over, and they are no longer renting, so, they are in compliance.
So, part of it is the ability to as allowed by state code for certain zoning
violations, they can become civil penalties which is what this is going for we
use this currently also. We have the ability to utilize this for signage as well,
but this follows what is permitted by State Code. Now, as far as this is a
subset in the zoning ordinance, there is an subset in the zoning ordinance
that talks about rentals. So, this is going in based on the utilization of a
property as a short-term rental.
Mr. Weiner: Follow up real quick to that, why are we including Sandbridge in this mean,
I mean another part of the ordinance, but I mean why would we include
Sandbridge on part of like they are in little entity down there and so forth.
Mr. Tajan: The zoning ordinance requires that anyone operating a short-term rental
comply with section 241.2, which includes the portions that we deal with
grandfathering and also the performance standards.
Mr. Weiner: As I was just ask the question. Okay.
Ms. Oliver: All right, so we are going to start with 18, and do we have any comments
on this one.
Mr. Redmond: I echo David's comments it seems to me rather unfair. I mean I heard
your explanation, I just do not know that I buy it very frankly. I do think we
ought to enforce far more in the city than we do. But, it just strikes me that
we have different standards, so make a difference if you are violating the
law in some way, whether a renter is there for 31 days, whether there for
seven, I do not know that is particularly fair. I will say at the outset to, I mean
I thought I have heard everything, but this is very educational session today,
27
and I listened to every single word. But, I am more discombobulated than I
was when we began and I have objections based on what I have heard to
everything Ms. Atkinson I was perfectly okay with the grandfathering until
Ms. Atkinson. What is wrong with the lander does not it, I never thought
about that. So, if you decide you feel like living in your own house instead
of renting it for a couple of years, you cannot go back to renting again I do
not know how that makes any sense, any case. So, I got a whole bunch of
objections that I am not going to support anything today, because I think
Mr.Weiner I hope anyway if I have read them correctly sure it is my view,
but there is way more going on here than we can make up on the fly.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to interrupt you and I am going to let the attorney speak for one
second. It can happen all the time.
Mr. Redmond: I get it all day long.
Ms. Oliver: Its okay.
Ms. Wilson: I understand about civil penalties. Right now if you have a zoning violation,
which is what these are, when you violate the zoning ordinance you are
charged with an unspecified misdemeanor, it is a misdemeanor when they
say have you ever been charged with a crime, you have to put down, yes,
because it is a misdemeanor. Now for zoning you cannot go to jail, that is
why it is an unclassified or an unspecified misdemeanor. But, it is a fine up
to $2500. $2,000?
Ms. Wilson: $2500. Anyway, so we feel that a bigger penalty on someone, than
someone going through the system and having a civil penalty. They still
have due process. We send you what looks like a summons, it just says the
violation is this, the penalty is this, the $200. If you want to pay it, you go
down to the treasurer's office and you pay it. And, it goes into Planning's
budget under short-term rentals under civil penalties. If we did not do this
then people would have to go through the regular process, which could
potentially give them a misdemeanor. Now, we do not want to give them a
misdemeanor on their record forever for some of this stuff. We felt it was a
way to make it easier on people who have violations. Because a lot of the
things are not earth shattering, but there are other things that also have civil
penalties in the zoning ordinance, SANS are civil penalties. There is a
philosophical issue.
Mr. Redmond: We do not enforce the sign thing just so you know, we talked about
that earlier.
28
Ms. Wilson: Yes, they are. There is a philosophical debate between which is better, civil
penalties to get people to do things or criminal penalties, and it is
philosophical more than it is concrete. We have looked at going to civil
penalties for everything, but many people feel that criminal penalties are
things that require people to more readily bring their property into
compliance. If they have variance requirements, so they have setback
issues and they have other things. So, that is why we went to civil penalties,
because it was justifying. Now it is only $200,if you have a regular fine from
a criminal violation it could be up to, I think it is $2000. But, that is why it
was done, it is not something that is brand new or never been thought of
and you still get due process.As if we decide, hey I am not paying that$200,
I am just not paying, come on over to court. Tori will be there and she will
prosecute you just like it was a criminal violation, except her standards, the
standard for proving it is lower for the City.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Redmond: I thank you for that, I still share David's view, I just do not know that
is consistent, so, I have a different view of it. So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes,
Mr. Graham: I agree with Mr. Redmond, I thought it was great to hear from these
speakers. Full disclosure Mr. Jones back there I went to high school with
him. And, he grew up in Virginia Beach he went first colonial High School,
as I did. And, I am sure that he is surprised it how revitalized that area is
today compared to what it was back in the 80s, it is very different. And,
hearing the speakers, I mean, they have taken places and you look at these
pictures, they took places that were eight units and converted them into two
houses, the before and after pictures. I mean, this is short-term rentals have
been the economic engine of that area they have to completely transform
that area. I am torn with short-term rentals in other areas like your traditional
neighborhood, but here close to the beach I am not I think that what has
happened over there is great. And, I agree with Mr. Redmond. I do not
know that there is anything in here you can support today, I think this thing
is being rushed through I think that more thought needs to be given to it.
Ms. Oliver: All right. No disrespect, but we are going to do 18, because I just do not
want.
Mr. Weiner: We got to do 18 first.
Ms. Oliver: We got to do 18, we got to do them separately.
29
Mr. Graham: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: And, so that we can focus specifically, kind of where we are and what we
are addressing. Robin.
Ms. Klein: I understand the argument for 18. However, since it is currently a criminal
penalty, which I disagree with, I do intend to support the transition to a civil
penalty, at least in the interim.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Perfect, right. Yes, Don.
Mr. Horsley: The whole thing was civil criminal penalty it did not make much difference
to me, other than the fact that the enforcement is the whole thing. And, I
cannot see that changing this penalty is going to make anything, I do not
know where the enforcement is going to come from. I just do not think we
have to staff or whatever to enforce it regardless of what it is. I mean, the
civil penalty versus criminal penalty, I mean it is minor penalties is as that is
fine with me I do not mind that, but what is the people that have put this
issue up what method of enforcement have they come up with to help
enforce with any type of penalty. Because, we do not have the staff now in
order to do it now evidently.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Horsley, you are correct currently right now we are working as best we
can with what we have and we do have three additional positions that have
been kicked free from the hiring freeze to allow us to focus on this as well
as our contract with host compliance. So, Mr. Kemp and I was in a meeting
with the City Manager discussing other ways to add to our enforcement
capability, whether it be a third party or to figure out a way to fund the ability
to have someone to be out there on the weekends to go and enforce these
requirements. So, it is not something idle, we were not just tossing the
words out. We are also working as far as staffing and finding other solutions
that are available to us to do the enforcement.
Mr. Horsley: I mean, I see this with other things not just short-term rentals enforcement
or other thing. People complaining to me all the time about various things
and said why did not the city take care of this and I said, well, I guess we
just do not have the people to enforce the code. So, regardless of what
penalties we put up there, I think that is something that somebody on
Council or somewhere has got to come up with a way to provide more
enforcement to use those.
Ms. Oliver: Well. Yes, Mike.
30
Mr. Inman: I certainly think civil penalties makes more sense than the criminal penalty
on this kind of thing and I think we can support that.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Inman: I would support that.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. So,do I have a motion for 18?
Mr. Inman: I will move approval of 18.
Ms. Wilson: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Marchelle will you call for the question please.
Ms. Coleman: Sure.lf you are in favor of the motion say, yes and if you are opposed
say, no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
Mr. lnman: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
31
Ms. Coleman: By recorded vote of seven for and one against Agenda Item 18 is
hereby recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Alright. That went smoothly. Alright, so now we are going to talk
about number 19, revocation of grandfathering status and City Council
funding regarding to short-term rentals.
Mr. Weiner: I will start this one. I am completely done with this one, after listening to
everybody out there, I really appreciate the input it was really good
information. I would make a motion to strike item two completely required
findings and the minimum I would support on grandfather would be 60
months.
Mr. Redmond: How many months?
Mr. Weiner: 60 months.
Mr. Wiener: Five years, 60 months. Okay.I mean that would be the minimum I would
support for grandfathering.
Ms. Oliver: Alright, hold on.
Mr. Wiener: That is just me.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: So, you want five years.
Mr. Wiener: Five years for grandfathering and completely strike item two required
findings.
Ms. Oliver: Item two, as in numeral two or the whole segment.
Mr. Wiener: It says item two. The whole paragraph.
Mr. Tajan: The required findings.
Mr. Wiener: Yeah.ltems 1 , 2, 3, and 4.
Ms. Oliver: You want all of those gone.
Mr. Wiener: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Wiener: That is just me.
32
Ms. Oliver: That is just you.
Mr. Redmond: No, it is me too.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, okay. My goodness. So, you do not want aesthetically pleasing parking.
I am just asking, because you can pick and choose. You do not have to be
blanket.
Mr. Wiener: I understand, this is just my opinion thought through.
Ms. Oliver: I am just sort of soliciting.
Mr. Wiener: It is just not thought through, it needs to be. We need to sit down and think
about what is going on here.
Ms. Oliver: Because they do not have any problem with aesthetically pleasing parking.
I think that is a good thing.
Mr. Wiener: Well, that is fine if you want to fix it.
Mr. Redmond: Vote against it.
Mr. Wiener: If you want to keep it item two.
Ms. Oliver: That seems to be the crutch of our problems here is parking because that
is the only thing we have, and so we are debating on whether or not, gravel,
eight feet of this, does not look like that, what is the apron look like. So, if
we are hanging our hats on parking, we might as well make it look good.
Yes.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: However, be that as I have said before I share Dave's view, and an
awful lot of this is just not very well thought through and requires greater
consideration, factually though and substantively I do not like the idea that
if you choose to live in a house for two years that you were previously
renting then you lose the ability to then rent it again because you choose to
live in your own house. It just does not seem to me to make a lot of sense,
so, I am not going to support it. If you want to make a motion, I consider
what you said an improvement, and I will be happy to support your motion.
In the end, however, I am going to oppose the entire concept of it because
I do not think that's fair to property owners.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Robin.
33
Ms. Klein: If I get granted conditional use permit for my home now. I am not applying.
And, then I decide to live in it and I am not grandfathered or legally
nonconforming what happens to that permit.
Ms. Oliver: I do not think anything happens. Yes, okay.
Mr. Redmond: First I love how you keep direct these questions with Dee and I would
encourage you to keep to it, I'm rather enjoying that.
Ms. Wilson: You got a CUP right.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Wilson: Okay, your CUP is good for five years and then it will just simply disappear
unless you come and renew it.
Ms. Klein: Okay. So, I think that is very well in lined with your five year suggestion.
Yeah.
Mr. Horsley: But, you does not have CUP, if you do something, if you have some type of
a vested right in it within that five years, does not that make it stay. You do
not have to have it completed in five years.
Ms. Wilson: No. If your CUP is specifically conditioned on, it only lasting five years, so
there is no vested right argument, you knew you had it for five years that is
all.
Mr. Tajan: So, Mr. Horsley said that, in this case a conditional use permit is Ms.Klein
is referring to has a very specific condition stating that it lasts for five years.
If you are talking about other conditional use permits, yes, the discussion is
a different, but it is laid out in the ordinance that way.
Ms. Klein: If it is vacant for five years you essentially lost your right for grandfathering
property, and would been under your suggestion.
Mr. Redmond: Under Mr. Weiner's suggestion.
Ms. Klein: Right under Mr.Wiener's suggestion.
Ms. Wilson: Under Mr.Wener's suggestion, just take the two and make it a five.
Ms.Klein: And make it a five, which would be the regular length of time fora conditional
use permit.
Mr. Inman: I actually support all of this. There is going to be subjectivity, there has to
be subjectivity you cannot, as Kay explained early on in our informal session
34
you cannot objectify every single thing, there is judgment calls to be made
by us recalled on to make judgments about density, and whether there is
too much density of short-term rentals. So, that it destroys the neighborhood
concept that neighborhood feel, the benefit of living in a non transient
neighborhood. So, that is what that is about. That is what two of those items
and number two are about. We have been concerned for many months now
about, we have seen, I think a higher volume of applications than we ever
really expected around the city, and we all of a sudden we are like, whoa,
wait a minute what is this going to do to these neighborhoods. Everybody
is thinking about today, Old Beach, I am talking about all of the things we
have been concerned about, some parts of the Shore Drive neighborhood.
So, I am not offended by any of these criteria that I think they are good that
we have to make those findings in order to protect the neighborhoods. So,
that is what I wanted to know. I am alright with it.
Ms. Oliver: I mean these are all the things when you look at them individually and then
the grandfather with separate from. These are all the same conversations
that we have every time we look at them, how many, where is the map, we
turn to Planning Staff and go where is your map, how many are there, what
is the street look like, what is the parking lot like. Well, the guy just paved
his whole driveway I mean his whole front yards. So, that is not aesthetically
pleasing. Somebody wants to gravel or put dirt in there, they are bumping
over curbs and stuff, all that is doing is saying, hey look if you can meet your
parking requirement or we can help you meet your parking requirement, can
we do it aesthetically pleasing. How is the landscaping look. The occupancy
is basically, does it does it meet the requirements of what everybody else is
doing on the street, you have 50 people in your house or do you have 11
people in your house that is reasonable to be in their bedrooms and what is
wrong with number four, STRs are needed. I am just curious resource in
certain areas of the city, particularly those in close proximity to venues and
part of that was because we do not have, Old Beach is three blocks from
our resort. We got thousands of hotel rooms right there. So, it is not as if
people are landing in 27th Street and they cannot find a room. That is not
the problem, that statement if I recall correctly part of that was due to the
fact that the Amphitheatre and the sports complex where we do not have
hotels, was so, that then we could look at that area and say yeah In fact,
they do need STRs there, because these families are bringing all these kids
into play these sports and stuff and we do not have any place for them to
stay and the resort hotels are too far for them to go.
35
Mr. Weiner: Okay.l understand, but I am going to break it down two and three I could
probably live with, but one I definitely could not. Who would say that the way
I think characteristics change in the neighborhood is different than yours, as
Mr. Redmond brought up earlier. Two houses on they are different in what
I think for a characteristics surrounding neighborhood. And, I know I am
keep bringing this up, but I think just because there is hotels there it does
not mean people want to stay in hotel, I do not want to stay in hotel,
anywhere I go I would rather stay in a house and that is just my opinion of
course. So, the proximity of the venues and districts in the areas generate
high volume. I mean, that is perfect for Old Beach in my opinion. So, I can
live with two and three rather, how is that.
Mr. Redmond: I would make the following argument characteristics of the
surrounding neighborhood. If there was a neighborhood with a
preponderance of short-term rentals, I would argue that is a characteristic
of the neighborhood. If you look at some of these neighborhoods and say
they havegot all these dots on the map, look how many short-term rentals
on there. Is that not fundamentally a characteristics of the neighborhood. If
I am one of these builders and I come up with an application and my
application is denied, on the basis that it changes the characteristic of the
neighborhood where there is already a preponderance of short-term rentals.
I am going to sue. I mean that is just strikes me as oxymoronic and really
needs a lot more work. It just kind of made up and it does not, again I am
not going to support this grandfather thing because I think it is unfair to
people who own things. But, that to me is probably the most offensive of the
things that I find here, I completely agree with you Dee about the
attractiveness of things, it is statics to stuff to me, it makes a gigantic
difference. In fact, I think we have to look much more carefully at parking
not just at the attractiveness of it, but how are we getting into. My problem
with this 9x18 thing is requiring far larger parking and more impervious
cover than we ought to and I think there is such a much deeper, more
complicated conversation than we have because I do not want all this. I
mean, you know much better than I would have all this more impervious
stuff. And, frankly people move their cars to let the other car out all the time,
not everything needs a big wide turning radius of a Chevy tile. So, in any
event, I just number one to me is, is a nonstarter. It is not ready for
primetime, it is easily argued in my view that in a lot of these places where
there is already a preponderance of short-term rentals, but that is a
characteristic of the neighborhood. So, I am not exactly sure how you even
on a subjective basis that that makes sense. Anyway, I am sorry, go ahead.
36
Mr. Inman: Then number one would be okay with you because you get to make that
argument saying, if you are not changing the nature of the neighborhood,
so, it is okay.
Mr. Redmond: But, that is my point is, it does not have any real meeting, if
everybody can see it 18 different ways and it is not really a law.
Ms. Oliver: I think that is the whole purpose of it.
Mr. Redmond: So, it is not to have meaning.
Ms. Oliver: No, I do not think the lack of, I am not saying new as it specifically I think.
Mr. Redmond: Well that is okay.
Ms. Oliver: Some people are looking for specific black and white laws regarding this
and I think it is subjective to where we are and what the area looks like. Do
I think that a lot of the development in Old Beach is a plus to that area,
absolutely I think that it is absolutely gorgeous to go down there after
growing up and down on the oceanfront and see that these places are
pushed to the street that we actually have sidewalks for once, we never had
sidewalks. The walkability, the balconies, the parking in the back it is all a
huge plus for that. Again, it's objective to them all of a sudden we have
another area that has some not so well run Airbnb's that are not properly
managed by a property management or that a company that is readily
available to troubleshoot areas, that is causing problems that allows us to
go in and say, you know, this is ruining the character of this particular area,
this particular neighborhood. This is an enhancement to this particular area,
this particular neighborhood.
Mr. Inman: I will give an example like Arizona Bay, very dense, there probably are not
any short-term rentals in there. But, do you want to allow a bunch of short-
term rentals in there, they are not used to having short-term rentals, they
probably do not want short-term rentals. So, there is certainly a right to have
some, but it could become such that it is now changing the nature of that
neighborhood, the nature of that neighborhood is not short-term rental. So,
this allows that kind of analysis.
Mr. Redmond: I understand that, my view is laws ought to have meaning or they are
bad laws, this does not have enough meaning to me. If you can interpret it
18 different ways, I do not know how you can follow it. They have to be
more specific and in this case, it seems me entirely just like we had to do it
the first time entirely rushed and that is how you end up with a mess. And,
37
we had one before we still have it largely it is that rush part, but coming up
with phrases like change the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood that do not really have any great definition to me. It is just
asking for trouble.
Ms. Oliver: I am just throwing this out there, because I am just trying to.
Mr. Redmond: This is a great discussion now by the way.
Ms. Oliver: I just want to figure this out. Let us just say, we head down to Princess Anne
out to the rural area. All of a sudden, we have got venues that want to go in
and do all this and everybody is like, no, because that changes the
character and the fabric of that particular area of what it is technically
designed to be. So, the zoning is AG, this is what we want this, this part of
our city to respond and act like. Now, we go into a residential area, which
people go in and buy a house and I am just playing devil's applicant.
Mr. Redmond: Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: We go into a residential area, people move here, the military moves here,
women are looking for schools, they are looking for a neighborhood, they
go okay, here it is. This is where we are going to go for the next two or three
years. We are going to buy a house this, that or the other. And, then all of
a sudden they find, well, it is not a residential area, we have got a
commercial use in a residential area that typically would not be. And, I am
not talking about what is within three or four blocks of the Ocean front, I am
just talking about further into the city, further back. How does that perform,
we do we then just kind of say, we can go down to the farms and we can do
well, because that does not change.
Mr. Redmond: Well, let me answer it, and that is, it is far more specific than this is,
take his example about the wedding venue that we have been through and
we are going to see again of course. And, the ordinance as I understand we
have not seen it yet, but the ordinance is being drafted as, assembly uses
are not permissible in the AG District, is that correct?
Mr. Horsley: It is being negotiated now.
Mr. Redmond: Okay, but so, let me use as an example, that is pretty easy to
understand. That is pretty easy to point to, it is not as broad, and is
meaningless as change the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood. I know what an assembly use as, I know what AG-1 is, I can
point to that and tell you whether it is or is not, an assembly use. I mean, I
38
understand your example, but you kind of are helping me make that
argument which is that is much more specific, I understand what he is
saying, I understand what the applicant who's proposing that particular
application. And, it is pretty clear and you can just make a decision because
it has meaning, this does not have any meaning to me because it is just so
unspecific. I do not like that we are messing with people's property rights in
this grandfather thing, but that whole phrase changing the characteristics, it
is just not there, it is just not good enough for me. So, I mean we are just
going to disagree on this, I understand. But, I do not know that it has, it just
does not.
Ms. Oliver: only reason I'm asking is because at one point we are going to have to be
more specific, and so, why we were just on the roll I just basically. So, you
had Mr. Grothmal who said, well then, let us do it by a math problem. You
measure each street and two thirds of its residential and I am just throwing
it out and one third of it is STRs. And then, therefore now you have a math
problem, now you have law or something that appears to be more cut and
dry.
Mr. Horsley: You got a box you can check, when you figure it out that percentage you
got a box you check and when you get all your boxes checked you can go
with. But, but this is not that direct.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Horsley: It is a lot of subjectivity to those four comments there.
Mr. Redmond: It is altogether too much objectivity.
Mr. Horsley: And, really what it boils down to is can you take those four things and get
six votes that is what it amounts to and then put all aside. So, it is a lot of
subjectivity. I kind of agree with what David said about the two years, I would
not mind go into the five years on that deal. But, the other ones is a lot of
subjectivity because it gives you a lot of points that you can discuss like we
are doing right now. But, do you want to have a three hour discussion on
each one to see if you can muster up enough support to get it either passed
or not passed, you know, what it means to. And, I am going to say one thing
about it to talk to you here today, I got to move out of it people that spoke
today than any short-term rental briefing that I have been through by the
people. There is a lot taking place and we are kind of predicted that this
was going to happen, when we first started, but we were thinking in going
into other established neighborhoods not able to thinking about the beach
or whatever but we were thinking that blighted homes would be purchased
39
and people would take them and either remodel them or build a new home
there and do short-term rentals in as a business. And, that is what is
happening at the beach now that is what is happening and not necessarily
blighted, but older properties. And, it is really enhanced that area where it
looks like to me from the pictures I have seen today and I got to think of a
couple you all said somebody and I really agree that today's comments and
what we have heard has been the best that I have heard. Maybe, our
ordinance is not too far out of line maybe, we are getting something
accomplished of what we have got now, other than a few little tweaks that
have bothered me badly.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with you, I think the comments today were outstanding.
Mr. Weiner: You know what that bowls down to, is having the ordinance in place for a
little while. And, we are rushing to try and figure this out, we need to let it go
a little bit longer, maybe we need to let this go till November, let December
finish. And, then let us work on it over the winter, for next year. I mean, we
have not had this go long enough, we do not know what is happening there.
Mr. Horsley: The one thing I think that we did not anticipate was the number, the volume
of applications that was coming, I do not think that was anticipated with that
volume.
Mr. Alcaraz: Do we have the option of differing it, Ms. Wilson.
Ms. Wilson: It has to be returned to City Council within 100 days. So, you can differ it for
the next 30 days to your September meeting, if you wish to.
Mr. Weiner: If we differ, okay, this is me okay. We are going to be together for the next
four weeks every Tuesday night for next four weeks, we have no time to
think about this.
Mr. Alcaraz: Im just going to say that I was supporting number 19, with number two with
all the findings and comments, but I do like your 60 mark, so, I do not know
if I can do a substitute motion or an amendment to your motion, but I would
prefer to leave the motion.
Mr. Weiner: I thought you did.
Mr. Alcaraz: I said,' would make a motion, but did not.
Mr. Weiner: Oh, I am sorry.
Ms. Oliver: I did not hear you, what you said. You liked.
40
Mr. Alcaraz: I like the whole thing ,but actually if he wants to say 60 months, I am good
with that.
Ms. Oliver: I am good with that too. I mean, I will do that.
Mr. Redmond: Do we take out one and four.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to leave one and four.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am leaving them.
Mr. Weiner: Hey anyhow put me on the spot.
Mr. Graham: I agree with two of two and three of two, but I do not agree with one. One
it is poorly written it is very subjective. It sounds like to me that a lot of Old
Beach the characteristic of it is short-term rentals and rental properties.
Number four is just to me, I do not think it was written very well, I do not
think it was well thought out. But, I would support Mr.Wiener's idea of the
five years for number one for the grandfathering, and then on number two
and three, but not number one and four.
Ms. Oliver: I think it is George put the motion on for five years and then adding all the
rest.
Mr. Weiner: But, we can sit and look at number one and we can say, oh, Old Beach
does have the characteristics of short-term rentals, so we should approve
all of them.
Mr. Graham: Well, problem is that, I agree but then somebody else could interpret maybe
differently and it is just poorly written.
Mr. Weiner: It is not right.
Ms. Oliver: We do it right now. Mr. Redmond made a motion in Bayside due to the
density there I think it was a short-term one. There was a lot of density, it
was on Shore Drive something. One of them we did not do because of the
amount of.
Mr. Redmond: I will tell you exactly what it was, I will characterize it rather than you
character. There was a cluster of four homes, of those four homes one was
a short-term rental. Someone wanted to do another short-term rentals, so,
that two of the four would be short-term rentals that is 50% in a four cluster
of homes, and one of the owners who did not own a short-term rental had
particular problems with one that was there. My concern at the time was
that is probably going to exacerbate that, and that is gone from 25% to 50%
41
where 25% was a problem. That to me is a lot more definable than change
the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood. And, I could easily
quantify that and did in the course of that application. It is not going to
change my view I mean, I just do not think this is right. I only tell you what
I am going to do because we got 19 different options here. I do not like
anything in number two, I do not like the grandfathering at all. I think what
David has proposed is an improvement.
Mr. Alcaraz: We have a motion on it.
Mr. Redmond: I would support David's and I am not going to support the other one.
Ms. Oliver: Right now we have got a motion on the floor.
Mr. Redmond: David did you make a motion.
Mr. Weiner: No I do not.
Mr. Redmond: You did not make a motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I made a motion that number nine, or agenda number 18 be approved but
the change of 60 months and as far as the findings, amendment that they
all stick. I like it because I think it puts more work on the builders, the
applicants to do what they can to make this work for them, so, we can prove
it.That is why I like it.
Ms. Oliver: Do I have the second.
Mr. Graham: I second it.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. We are going to call. question, please.
Ms. Coleman: If you are favor of the motion say, yes, and if you are appose say,
no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.

Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: I recorded vote of four for and four against Agenda Item 19 is hereby
being denied.
Mr. Weiner: The motion is failed. Can I make a motion to pass.
Ms. Oliver: Hold on.
Mr. Weiner: Well, it'll be four for again probably. I would make a motion for item number
19, I do not want to be five years, and for item number two record findings
to strike one and four and keep two and three.
Mr. Graham: I second that motion.
Ms. Oliver: Then call for the question Marchelle.
Ms. Coleman: Sure,give me one second.
Ms. Oliver: Sure.
Ms. Coleman: Okay. If you arein favor of this motion say, yes. lfyou oppose say,
no.Mr. Alcaraz.

Ms. Coleman: I recorded vote of four, four and four against Agenda Item 19 is
hereby denied by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Weiner: So, this gives the council for 24?
Ms. Coleman: Failed, Correct.
Mr. Tajan: We did not do anything it goes recommended. So, as it stands it goes
recommended for denial by the Planning Commission.

CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of these Ordinance amendments. The first proposed
amendment regarding grandfathering will allow City Council to have the opportunity to
have input on Short Term Rentals that have not operated for more than two years. As
these rentals have not operated, it is beneficial to be able to consider the impact they may
have on the surrounding neighborhood if they are again used as a Short Term Rental.
The "Findings" section will provide a basis to which Short Term Rental applications can
be evaluated and approved or denied, and provide further clarity in the review process.

conditional use permits for property in the Old Beach Overlay District. Kevin
Kemp will present these items. Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you, Mr. Landfair. Good afternoon, Commissioners as Bill mentioned
these four items are the referral, the proposed amended ordinance from
Councilman Tower you should be familiar with these items as you reviewed
them twice in July, once following your July 8, Planning Commission
hearing, and then you had a meeting for public comment on July 20, in
which there were approximately 30 speakers at that meeting. I will just
briefly go through these proposed amendments agenda items and explain
each one, agenda item 18 deals with the way we enforce short-term rental
violations. This would change the enforcement from what is now a criminal
violation to a civil penalty. Itwould allow our inspectors to issue fines $200
penalty for the first violation and then $500 for each additional, it will help
Staff be able to enforce the ordinance and make it a easier and faster way
to get through the process, whereas now they were required to go through
the criminal court proceedings to get to this fine structure. Agenda item 19,
deals with two items, one is the grandfather status of short-term rentals and
the other are required findings for short-term rental uses. Thegrandfathering
this ordinance proposes that the grandfathering status if a short-term rental
were not used to such for a two-year period would be revoked by the
Planning Director. This aligns with our current ordinance regulations for
nonconforming uses, as the ordinance is written now short-term rental use
if it was grandfathered it runs with the land and it runs in perpetuity. The
1
second item in this amendment are the required findings and these provide
a basis for which Staff, Planning Commission,and City Council could
evaluate and ultimately approve or deny these applications, briefly go over
the four of those. The first is that the density or number of short-term rentals
in the immediate vicinity, do not change the character of the neighborhood.
The second is that parking is readily available onsite parking is visually
appealing and environmentally friendly. This is in a reaction to what we are
seeing where a lot of short-term rentals are paving their entire yards to meet
our parking requirements. The third is that, if there is an increased
occupancy due to the short-term rental use, that occupancy remains
compatible with the residential nature of the neighborhood as to not create
negative impacts such as noise and trash. And, lastly, it recognizes that
short-term rentals are a needed resource, particularly in areas of the city,
that are in close proximity to venues or districts that bring high number of
visitors. Agenda item 20,this deals specifically with the Old Beach District,
the Old Beach Overlay and what it does is, it allows short-term rentals as a
matter of right in the Old Beach Overlay provided that the properties meet
two specific standards. One is that, all requirements of Section 241.2 are
met. And the second is that the short-term rental property is the principal
residence and owned by the operator. Whatthis would do is allows for only
one short-term rental per property owner. If these requirements as listed are
not met, the way this ordinance is written the property owner would not have
the opportunity to even apply for a CUP in front of Council. Theywould either
meet the requirements and be able to operate as a short-term rental or they
would be prohibited. Lastly item 21, is a transition ordinance and this
ordinance simply states that any property that submitted an application to
the Planning Department following the date, these referral ordinances were
referred to you which is June 9, would be subject to these new rules
immediately upon the approval of these ordinances.For instance, an
application that were submitted today even though there are different rules
than this in place, they would be subject to the rules once this is approved
by Council. I will be available for any questions should they come up. Thank
you Commissioners.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Kemp.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are 19 speakers signed up to speak. The first speaker
is DavidGrothmal, followed by Joseph Montana. Mr.Grothmal, please state
your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Grothmal: Madam Chairwoman, members of the Commission, I am David
Grothmal. I live at 219A, 68 Street, which is not in the Old Beach Area. But,
2
I believe that what you do today or whenever you do it is going to eventually
make its way throughout the areas that have short-term rentals. My concern
is with the second area, the Council's resolution that sent over the package
of ordinances says they are concerned about the short-term rental rentals
increasing too fast in the Old Beach neighborhood and other areas. And, I
felt like they needed to get a handle on it. I believe the goal is to preserve
these areas as residential neighborhoods and residential neighborhoods
should take precedence over short-term rentals. That means there should
be a majority of residences over short-term rentals. So, what is the majority,
is it 50%, you have 51% residence and 49 short-term rentals. No I do not
think so, it has to be a clear majority. So, I suggest to you that you need to
come up with a number of residences and short-term rentals that clearly
preserves the neighborhood as a primary residence. I am suggesting two
thirds and one-third or 65% and 35%. Using each Street as the place to
measure, if 22nd Street has 35% short-term rentals already then you do not
approve any more short-term rentals. That will make it easy and clear for
everybody to understand what is the maximum of short-term rentals that will
be allowed. I think that is the key to putting a halt on these applications. The
guidelines that you have in place now, do not do anything to halt the growth
of short-term rentals. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions to the gentleman? Okay. Thank you so very
much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joseph Montano. Mr.
Montano is a virtual speaker, Mr. Montano, please pause for three seconds,
so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the
record. Thank you.
Mr. Montano:Good afternoon, Chairwoman Oliver and members of the Virginia Beach
Planning Commission. My name is Joseph Montana and I serve as the
Virginia Beach Government Affairs Manager for Expedia Group and its
family of travel brands. I would like to thank you all for the opportunity to
comment on Virginia Beach's efforts to amend existing short-term rental
law. By way of background Expedia Group is the world's travel platform with
leading websites such as Expedia.com, Orbitz, travelocity.com and many
others. We service the entire travel ecosystem from hotels and airlines to
rental cars and vacation rental. Our vacation rental company Vrbo is the
world leader in traditional or whole home vacation rentals. For 25 years Vrbo
and our local homeowners have been focused on serving travelling families.
In fact, our average customer booking travel on our platform is a 50-year-
old woman traveling with a family of four. that long standing focus on
3
responsible travel, translates to our collaborative approach to fair and
effective policies. Over the course of the last two months we have hosted
virtual town halls with our partners here in town, and it is been incredible to
hear their stories. Our property owner and manager partners have been
members of the Virginia Beach Community for decades. They find immense
pride in welcoming travelling families in their small slice of heaven and are
eager to comply with regulations set forth by this governing body. However,
both Expedia Group and our community of homeowners, managers, and
small business leaders are concerned with the current proposal, specifically
with regards to proposed amendment banning owners from offering
secondary homes or non-primary residences in certain areas of the city. We
believe there could be a better path forward that addresses the concerns of
the community, while at the same time protecting Virginia Beach's long
history of welcoming families to hold home rental. Expedia Group has
learned from hundreds of local efforts over the last 10 years that policies
work best when governments and platforms work together. A holistic
solution could help Virginia Beach in three key areas, tax collection,
compliance, and reasonable limits and they could include the following
platform tools. Vrbo would create a mandatory field for owners to enter their
short-term rental permit number in the same format as issued by the City.
Vrbo would also display the permit numbers on all new listings and existing
property list. Vrbo would remove any existing listing that does not display a
permit number and will prohibit any listings that do not display a permit
number. An alternative to the current primary only restriction that has
worked in other markets is a cap of 180 days per property. The city wide
180 day cap would allow Virginia Beach residents with a second home to
participate in the short-term rental market, would also dissuade individuals
looking solely for investment properties to put on a short-term rental market.
This policy of 180 day cap is one that Vrbo would support. As the leader in
traditional vacation rentals we stand ready to be a partner to you and your
Staff to ensure that the tradition of whole home vacation rentals continues
to be a part of Virginia Beach, vibrant accommodations marketplace. Thank
you again for your time and consideration.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Gretchen Heal, followed by
Betsy Atkinson. Ms. Heal, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Heal: Good afternoon. I am Gretchen Heal I work for the Hampton Roads Realtors
Association, and based on some of your comments in this morning session
4
I answered a few of our questions but I do have a few statements that they
have asked me to share with you on these four items. The Hampton Roads
Realtors Association recognizes the need to have property owners comply
with guidelines for operating short-term rentals and our members try to
ensure positive experiences for the neighbors of all the STRs that they
manage as well as the tourists visiting the city. However, we do have a few
concerns with the zoning violations that are different than others.And, again
you have addressed some of those concerns this morning, so, depending
on what you end up with your final decision that may go away. On this
second one, the grandfather clause, on this change we would ask you
consider including some more specific language on the parameters for
inactivity on a property that is scheduled to have its grandfather status
removed, when does the clock of the two years start, just a little more
definition around it, so, that people would know what those parameters are.
And,for all of the items if I am misunderstanding and I apologize but in 241.2
it applies to Sandbridge, and we would like that all any changes you make
do not apply to Sandbridge as far as short term rentals are concerned. That
is all.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Heal: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Betsy Atkinson, followed by
Paige Miyares. Ms. Atkinson, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Atkinson: Hi, I am Betsy Atkinson I am glad to be here to speak to you today.
We are teaming up a little bit here, but I would like to specifically talk about
grandfathering, I was on some of the original committees that created some
of these ordinances and one of the things that we all agreed on with that if
your grandfather the property it ran with the land. And, now you are trying
to take away the grandfathering by reducing it to only that you do not use it
for two years then you would not have the right to keep the grandfathering.
I would highly suggest to you to please not approve this. We have a lot of
situations, especially in the North End where, might be a mom and a dad
and then they might pass away the kids might move into the house and then
they might stay there a couple of years and then want to go back to having
short-term rentals like they had before. And, it is also good for marketing, if
somebody has a home that is been grandfathered with short-term rentals
and they will have the ability to continue short-term rentals without having
5
to come back to the CPU. So, I thank you very much for listening to me and
I hope you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Paige Miyares, followed by
Jim Moffat. Ms. Miyares, please state your name for the record. Thank
you.
Ms. Miyares:Paige Miyares. Thank you Madam Chair. Myname is Paige Miyares and I
am the principal broker of Atkinson Realty.l just want to say that the crux of
this issue really add it as a tourism issue. And, behind it is whether our city
really supports tourism and people coming here to spend their hard earned
money in our city. I think the consumer has spoken pretty loudly that they
want to stay in our cottages and especially in a post COVID-19 world, habits
of how we work vacation are changing even more rapidly. Many of our
business have expressed that they are on life support with the COVID
shutdown. And, the question I would ask is why are we looking at policies
that prohibit visitors to our city. Why are we pushing them to Myrtle Beach
and OBX, those are our competitors. As far as these regulations, there are
a couple often encouraging signs to me, one is the fact that there is
something that actually says it is a needed resource in our city. I think that
is true and again I think the consumer has echoed that and then just the
change to the parking, because the discussion around parking just it goes
on and on, it is almost arbitrary, it seems a little capricious to me from an
outside perspective. And, so, something that says visually appealing and
environmentally responsible that is helpful to kind of cut through some of
measuring this it has to have this many spaces. The reality of these families
coming to visit is that they do not bring,it is a four bedroom house they are
not bringing four cars, I mean that is how it works practically. And, the other
thing I do just want to address is that it is very disturbing to see the new,
there is even been discussion here about do we follow the rules, do we go
outside the rules, do we add provisions, do we not add provisions and that
seems to be a little bit of an internal discussion, but to see some of these
applicants who has had their applications in since January, and how these
arbitrary amendments to limit the occupancy and to limit the amount of
reservations per week is troubling from an on looking citizen. And, it really
changed the dynamics for my family would increase the cost of vacation to
Virginia Beach and not by a little when you play with those numbers. So, I
think that has to be a consideration as we go forward and I think there are
ways to partner in a private public type setting to help increase the
accountability for these things and take the backlog off of the city. The
6
Beach borough making it by right which is something in one of the
ordinances, I support that for our communities that hug the shoreline, for
sure, because that is where we have traditionally had them that is where
the character of our neighborhoods include them. And, there should be
some by right pieces to the zoning that come forward. So just to know I
probably out of time, but I just want to reiterate that at the crux of this is, are
we a city that want families to come and stay here, do we want them to
come and spend their money here. We as an industry love these
neighborhoods, we want to protect them, we want them to be great places
to live, we have been and shown to be good partners with these
neighborhoods for over 80 years with the business that I do. So, is there is
any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions. No. Thank you, Paige.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is John Moffat, followed by Lynn
Hume. Mr. Moffat, please state your name for the record. Thankyou.
Mr. Tajan: Bill, I think it supposed to be Jim.
Mr. Landfair: Jim Moffat?
Mr. Tajan: Yes.
Mr. Moffat: I am not speaking.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry, okay. So, the next speaker is Lynn Hume.
Mr. Hume: Hello, my name is Lynn Hume and it is hard to believe we are back up here
again discussing short-term rentals. I have been a property owner in the
Shore Drive area since 1980s and I have got long-term rentals and short-
term rentals, that are grandfathered that have always been considered
second homes and vacation homes and they were built in the 50s and 70s.
Due to COVID-19, I am sure that many property owners have had to change
some of the short-term rentals in the long-term. Personally, we put some
doctors in one of our rentals, who were working in local hospitals, they left
for a while and now they want to come back and do a long-term rental. I
want to emphasize that as grandfathered properties are zoning and property
rights were already set last year, our current rights exist. Item19, the 24
month rule, allows the possibility to lose our grandfathered status, health,
economy, and various personal circumstances could change the use of our
property for a period of time, current rights should remain not subject to
being dismissed if not used in the 24 month period. This is not a conditional
7
use permit, grandfathered should run with the land. Item 18 allows for
harassment from neighbors and subject owners to either pay a fine,
considered guilty, or may to defend themselves. It appears that hateful
rhetoric from anti-short-term rental people has generated this amendment
to appease those who always dislike short-term rentals. We attended one
of those all Civic League Meetings this winter and the attitude, for snitching
and telling on people was rampant. Actually, it was like being in a foreign
country, a trash can left out too long could generate the report and fine. I
am not aware of any loud or disruptive short-term rentals in the Bay Area,
Cape Story, Ocean Park, and Shore Drive. Many people speaking
negatively do not even have short-term rentals near them. In comparison,
homeowners and long-term rentals create parking, noise, and trash
problems, and there are laws to deal with them. It is normal for residents in
the Beach Area to park cars, have parties, and big gatherings. It is the
beach. We have already spent two or three years hashing out the zoning
rules and in this troubled time with COVID-19, people are not aware of this
issue, it is come up again. It is our retirement income as well as many
others, and we planned according to these rules. We take pride in our
properties, you will be down zoning our current property rights, pleased
enough for the subject grandfathered properties to the threat of losing our
rights are subject us to targeted harassment and fines. Please leave the
grandfathered rules the way they are now without changes. Thanks for your
consideration.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair the next speaker on this item is Elaine Fekete, followed by
Joan Davis. Ms. Fekete, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Fekete: Hi, good afternoon. My name is Elaine Fekete and I moved to Sandbridge
25 years ago. I chose to live there even knowing that all the houses around
me were rentals and had been so for 50 years. So, the false narrative that
this is a new thing that we have to deal with is quite to the contrary. It is also
a false narrative that all short-term rentals are party houses. 11 years ago,
my husband and I started renting our home on a weekly basis and quickly
found that there was a demand for the shoulder seasons in the holidays, we
get people here who are parents of military children that are coming to visit
and want to stay under one roof. Parents who are traveling with their
children in the traveling sports leagues, business travelers who want to
bring their families and make a vacation of it, or families who simply cannot
afford to take off seven days from work. When we have renters, we move
out and we are not alone. Other owners move out of their homes at least
during the peak season. Still others use their second homes as rentals, so,
8
when the renters are not there the owners are. So, this brings me to the
same question I asked two years ago. How will the restrictions be enforced
when the home is owner occupied versus renter occupied? How will you
even know the difference? I am curious to know how many $25 trash
citations have been issued in the city in the last year, have they been issued
but resulted in no change in behavior or being ignored because if we are
not even forcing the $25 ones for the whole city, what is the point of adding
punitive ones to the rentals and how will you know if owners like myself are
the ones leaving the trash cans out versus the guest, how cumbersome is
that and I say cumbersome because the recommendations sent to you
states that it will make enforcement more timely and efficient and will
increase the ability to regulate short-term rental use without having to
navigate the somewhat cumbersome court process, I am kind of missing
the due process part there. Make no mistake the choice to stay in a home
versus a hotel is based on preference and availability. If summer guests
cannot rent homes here, they will go straight to the Outer Banks in Myrtle
Beach like Paige was saying. If parents with children in sports tournaments
cannot rent our homes during the tournament's, they will go inland.
Ordinance 241 .2 only went into effect last November,just three months later
in February Members of Council were ready to send it back to address
lessons learned. What lessons were learned from November to February?
There is zero evidence to support that all of the adjustments made by
homeowners and realty companies in the last year to conform to 241 .2 did
or did not work. There is no basis to go back to square one and debate
each and every component, and that is what will happen. I even heard the
word exit signs at the last Council Meeting. The ongoing hysteria that short-
term rentals are bad for neighborhoods is anecdotal and it is the exception
rather than the rule, you state that they should not change the characteristic
of the neighborhood and 99% of the cases they do not. A judge and I
believe it was Austin ruled that a family sitting at a dinner table in a
residence is a family sitting at a dinner table in a residence whether they
are the homeowners or whether they are the renters. But, the request to
review this situation was sent to you with terminology that reads additional
noise, trash, and other possible nuisances, and it is asking you to assume
that the negative connotations Council sees on STRs is fact based and not
biased. Our trashcans really the problem, just because you were asked to
review these regulations does not mean you have to conclude that changes
are needed at this point. You can determine that we should at least look at
what has been done and see if it works first. Thank you for listening.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joan Davis, followed by
Gayle Mottola. Ms. Davis, please state your name for the record.
Speaker: Joan is not here.
Mr. Landfair: I am sorry. Okay. So, we will move on to Erica Atkins. Next speaker is
Erica Atkins. Ms. Atkins is a virtual speaker. Ms. Atkins, please pause for
three seconds, so we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your
name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Atkins: Hi, this is Erica Atkins, I agree with everything that the previous speaker
said, I do not feel like there is been enough time to really gauge what affects
the short-term rentals in this area have under the new rules and regulations
and I really think that there should be more time before any other changes
are put into place.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, we do have Gayle Mottola here.
Ms. Mottola: Good afternoon. I am Gayle Mottola I live at 115, 88th Street in Virginia
Beach. I support the comments made by Mrs. Parker from the July, 20,
2020, Public Hearing. The beach and fourth story located above Shore
Drive are daytime activities for visitors, not requiring overnight
accommodations. Stewardship of history and the preservation of natural
habitat is questioned as the Planning Commission and Zoning Commission
first quietly and then outwardly tried to change a residential one single family
neighborhood with some duplexes into two homes per small lot, often with
different principal owners who can then rent out their properties with a
conditional status of short-term rental. A case in point is a recent variance
recommended for a builder from Richmond by zoning, who after the hearing
told his perspective neighbors, he plan to live in one home, but he already
had a potential buyer for the second structure on the same lot. That means
two principal owners per lot, both of whom, who could apply for STR status.
Given, that there are six potential buildings going up on the same block of
88th Street, which was once the Cape Henry Syndicate bought from the
Cape Henry Park a land company in 1899, and plotted in 1900, for single
family homes. The density of that block increases by how many people and
how many cars. A second case, we just welcomed unemployed couple of
working age with their three younger children as they moved into the
neighborhood. Is not this what Virginia Beach model a City of a lifetime
means, are we losing residents. Have they not insisted that they have legal
parking spaces instead of the illegal ones put in by then owner of the two
10
structures on the nonconforming land to meet parking requirements for STR
stop. Those parking spaces were in the city signed, no parking zone at the
ocean side corner of 88thStreet and Atlantic making visibility obstructed to
enter Atlantic Avenue. Then the neighborhood would have had to endure
four bedrooms at three persons per bedroom and how many cars if every
two people had one car, the answer, 12 people six cars. The summer the
corner duplex at 201 , 87th was approved and the bedroom was approved
also at 116, 88th Street and now 114-A and B are for sale. They have eight
bedrooms. That could mean a total in two rentals per week of 48 people,
i.e., three times eight bedrooms times two, meaning also a great over limit
of cars. A traffic jam for delivery trucks meeting those looking for a free
parking space to go to the beach occurs regularly in the summer now. The
primary tourist area charges up to $10 for a few hours. The powers that
were made the historic North End especially about Shore Drive 2015, a
district based on the Old Beach Overlay of 2005, distinctly near hotels and
motels and home renting rooms in the well-established tourist area that has
been since 1906. But, that is not the North End demographic, many homes
have passed down to children and grandchildren, the North End is a
residential area with mostly permanent residents and those who come to
enjoy their beach home for the summer. Traffic is another matter, which
will not address. Again, the beach and Fort Story, a historic part of our city
that Cape Henry area should be treasured and should not go to make
commercial profit. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Mike Megge, followed by
Chris Edel.
Mr. Megge: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Members of Council. I would like to
thank all your hard work on this issue. I am here today to point out we spent
years coming up with his current ordinance. And, as owners we have
worked and planned our futures on the agreement that we came up with
less than a year ago. As you know, restricting property rights of citizens by
changing zoning laws as a taking and by such the government should justly
compensate those owners. If it does cause harm to those owners, and I
hope we do not go down that road. I understand if you feel the need to
further restrict short-term rentals with conditional use permits as is you are
right. But I would like to see the data that the city has compiled for these
changes. I again, I asked you to protect the existing rights of the
grandfathered and by right STR owners. I know this issue has been
contentious, but we all came together over the past several years with
11
many, many meetings, public hearings and we came up with a draft a
compromised ordinance that was thoroughly debated, voted on, and
passed by both the Planning Commission and City Council. The new
proposal would be a little like telling an owner of a duplex, if he owns a
duplex zoned lot, that if you do not build that duplex in the next two years,
you are going to lose that right. I just do not think that is the right way of
going. Also, giving zoning inspectors policing rights, allowing them to issue
monetary fines without due process is a very slippery slope. I just do not
see how that would be legal, if it is not applied equally to all renters or to all
property owners by that right. Again, I just think it is a slippery slope and an
enormous overreach by the government. Mr. Kemp said it would be easier
for the city to enforce, but I believe due process should be shaded on the
side of the owner and not on government. Like I said before, you have the
right to restrict new STRs with conditional use permits, but again I would
like to see that data, why you are restricting them since we have just came
up with an ordinance less than a year ago. But, again I would like to stress
that the current ordinance should be respected and the rights of current
STRs must be protected. Thank you very much,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Chris Edel, followed by Steve
Bishard.
Mr. Edel: Good afternoon, Madam Chairman and members of Planning Commission.
My name is Chris Edel, I do have some handouts from around, hopefully
you will have a copy of. I am here today primarily to speak with regards to
Old Beach where myself and have a partner Bob Taylor, we have
approximately 10 short-term rentals that are all approved by Council, and in
operation. Okay, so my company VB Holmes has been building at the beach
for over 30 years now. We were very active with an Old Beach particularly
with the overlay that they put together, we partner with a neighborhood to
find a way to improve the character of the neighborhood, reduced density if
possible. And, I think we put that together with Barbara Yates and since that
time, over the last eight years our company alone has invested over $10
million in redevelopment of that neighborhood, and what you have before
you here is just a few examples, most of which are east of Baltic, but on the
first page you have 317, 26th Street, this was a tired 50-year-old six unit
apartment building that now is to the right you will see the after which is now
two single family homes, that 317, 26th Street that operated for probably
over 30 years as a short-term rental. I know that for a fact by the person I
bought it from, Mary Grace Thomas had ran that year round and as well as
short-term rentals. Below that, on 27th and Arctic, you can see it is an older
12
55-year-old eight unit apartment complex and we partnered with the
Georgia Joyce Seco that you are going to hear from this afternoon as well,
to take that from eight tired apartments to four new single family homes and,
so, those are just a few examples. The next page one more example on
27th and Arctic, that was a four unit again, very tired blighted property that
had been rundown. And, now there are two brand new single family homes
on that property, so, that is an example of just a few that we have done and
there is certainly others, but I wanted to point that out. The next page, page
three is called Old Beach Revitalization Future Opportunities, these two
properties one at 417, 24th Street 10 unit apartment property and then 416,
24th is a duplex both pretty old tired properties, owned by Mark Ulmer. He
could not be here today, but he asked me to share with you his thoughts on
whether or not he would redevelop these properties and he said to me, he
said Chris I have had these properties for years and if I am not able to
redevelop these as short-term rentals, I am just going to keep them the way
they are, I am just going to keep bandaging them up, they would not go
away, why because there is no economic reason, there is no financial
reason for him to improve these properties. So, he wanted me to share that
with you and these are just a couple examples of others that he owns, he
owns many properties. Page 4, 308, 25th-and-a-half again you can see a
very tired old duplex that I have involved with and the owner of that property.
The one below that 2602, Baltic Avenue, which is a 50-year-old five unit
apartment building facing Baltic, again all of these are Baltic East. But, these
are a couple properties that need to go away, they need to have brand new
single family homes and will have those, but they would not if we are going
to get too restricted in what we can do with those. The next page is actually
the Old Beach Overlay, this is right out of the guidelines, the map here.
Okay, great, because this is just a suggestion and something that we have
talked about and that is, if you see the orange line which is highlighting
Baltic Avenue and this runs right through Old Beach, most of this is Old
Beach. But, if you look from the orange line Baltic Avenue East towards the
ocean, most all of that is rental property and in zone that way,as you look
from Baltic Avenue or Western Baltic Avenue, it becomes more residential,
more year round residents living there. So, it somewhat splits the
neighborhood, but the reasons are simple it is because of the proximity to
the resort and all the things that we want our guests coming here to enjoy
and take advantage of. So, one suggestion is to potentially use that as a
development zone for having short-term rentals East or Baltic Avenue East
that would not require conditional use, but that you would potentially require
conditional use west of Baltic Avenue. And, then the next page, which is just
13
a summary that Bob Taylor and I put together just some thoughts and some
suggestions, ideas. First and foremost, the fact that Old Beach is being
singled out as the only area in the beach, that would require a short-term
rentals to be someone's principal residence, I just do not understand that at
all. Effectively, we are saying, we are not going to have any short-term
rentals. There are many people including myself and again I have told you,
we have invested millions of dollars in Old Beach and we do not own all of
these properties, we do sell some. But, the ones that we do own that is out
the window down for us, and many others that you're going to hear from
here today. And, I do not understand why that would make for a better
experience, just because someone is their principal residence and very
likely they are not even living their while the rentals taking place. So, at any
rate, that is one it certainly we do not agree with. And, the next paragraph
noise and trash, again I do not think that some of the other speakers have
said that there is really any evidence here that there is a real problem issue
with specifically with just short-term rentals in that regard. But, if we need to
have more trash cans we will buy more trash cans and that is fine and that
is going to help solve the issue, I do not know, I am not sure. It does state
in the ordinance that the short-term rentals are needed resource in certain
areas of the city located in close proximity to venues, districts, and areas
that generate high volume of people or visitors. Where else in the world is
a better example than Old Beach, we were right down the others ordinary.
I mean, that to me is a perfect place, and now we have the new sports
complex, all these families come to the sports complex sure some are going
to go hotel, but not all want to go to hotels, there are families traveling here.
They want a safe environment, they can come, maybe cook some meals in
the house, and we provide that for them in very close proximity. The
ordinance change about imposing fines, that is fine because if you want to
make bigger fines we want to be the model example for professional
managed short-term rentals, so, we do not plan on breaking rules. And, if
we do and there is a larger fine so be it, so we are okay with that. But, the
end there are opportunities to consider certainly the OR Oceanfront Resort,
I do not feel and neither does my partner feel like that should be even
included as a conditional use permit it is just going to bog down the system
there is hotels and motels all over the OR and I do not feel like that should
be even necessary. The second page there, that I did speak to just a little
bit ago and we are referring to as an approved short-term rental zone again
Baltic Avenue East is what we are recommending and that is where the
guests want to go. They want to be down and they are close to the resort
area. Professional management, I can tell you all of our rentals are
14
professionally managed, I think that is key. There are many people out there
trying to either do it themselves or maybe some of these people that live in
their home may be trying to do it, but there is no substitute for professional
management and all of ours are that way and I would suggest that maybe
there is a way to incorporate that in the ordinance that they need to be
professionally managed. There is a workshop and that you all had and just
talking about a couple points there, parking there was a discussion about
garages, okay garages should not be included. I can tell you in our
properties that have garages that can fit a car, we use them, in someone's
home you are going to put stuff in there, beach tear, bikes, or whatever may
be, but in the short-term rental you do not need a place for all that stuff. So,
we might have a couple beach tears, but that is about it and, so, we do use
them for parking I would suggest that that would be something that should
count. Number of stays a week, right now the ordinance is two stays a week
and I think that it is a great compromise. Not everybody can afford a week's
vacation,t here is plenty of guests that want to come to Virginia Beach, but
they can only do a long weekend three or four days and so, I think it is totally
appropriate to be able to allow for that. Number of occupants, right now
currently three per bedroom. I know speaking for myself and my partner I
would be fine if we limit the house itself to 10 or 15. We are not looking for
the big mega events and that that kind of goes to the next item events. We
do not want the big parties, we actually prohibit parties in our homes. So,
again, that is just something that that we are not interested in, we are happy
if we want to reduce the number of people, you think that would be helpful.
Our typical profile of guests are families that are traveling here to the beach,
one last thing on signage on the back.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry Chris.
Mr. Edel: Eddie told me I had 10 minutes, so, I guess I can have 10 minutes. Oh it's
10 minutes? Oh my god, I am sorry. Alright, thank you all.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Steve Bishard, followed by
Joyce Sico.
Mr. Bishard: Good morning. Thank you for allowing me to speak, I have some handouts.
My named Steven Bishard, Bishard Homes in related entities. I just want
to speak about in general, the short-term rental ordinance proposal, I feel
like you should give it a time to season. Give it time to see if it works. We
really have not had a chance to see if the recently adopted ordinance is
going to work or not. Anyhow, about 15 years ago at the request of Karen
Lesley the Zoning Administrator in the past and Barbara Yates, I was asked
15
to serve on the Old Beach Overlay District Committee to come up with a
compatible residential redevelopment ordinance that would do away or try
to do away in the proper way of three storey box duplexes and successfully
served on that committee, and I think we can say that we have seen the
results of the resiliency and the transformation that is taking place in the Old
Beach Community by number one the city, number two the community, and
number three private business developers working together, and I
appreciate the comment it is like a prerecorded speaker earlier, the best
way to deal with this is when all the parties come together, partner together,
listen to one another and come up with agreeable solutions to a business
enterprise short-term rentals. That is a needed way for families to vacation.
Some of them do not want to go to hotels. Some of them want to go to
homes, I prefer to go to homes, my wife loves to go to homes, particularly
in an environment like COVID-19, I would not want to go to a hotel, I want
to go to a house that is just recently been cleaned and it is safer for people
and people feel better about it. Anyway, over those last 15 years since 2005,
when that committee started and successfully produced a great ordinance.
We have done a tremendous amount of redevelopment you will see it in the
packet. We also acquired tremendous amount of rental properties, when we
bought these properties, we took them up to the next level of standard. We
did not leave them as blighted properties, we brought them up. I will say
that many of the properties that we purchased though, very much were
blighted properties. As Chris Edel mentioned I echo what he shared today.
Some of these properties we bought their rentals that rented for $600 to
$800 a month. There was a high turnover rate and they were problematic.
Since, I have entered the short-term rental business it has not been that
long. I can tell you that the management company that I have, same one
Chris Edel has stellar performance, had no problems. They are proactive
and matter of fact, the management company that we use to hire lives right
in the Old Beach community. I mean he walks, rides his bike through the
community, checks on the properties that he manages. So, I think,
management, I think you agree is a critical component, the proper proactive
management of these properties through a professional company. So, as I
was saying we have recently entered the short-term rental business hired
Knob LLC, lives in the Old Beach Community and they found that the short-
term rentals have less management problems, less calls than year around
rentals have. We are having a much better time with a lot less problems
with the short-term rentals from a management perspective. And, the spirit
of me being up here today is a spirit of partnership. When I served on the
committee in 2005, I embraced what they wanted to do and had been
16
working in that community since then, buying rental properties in that
community since then. And, I see myself as a resident, not Old Beach I live
in Lincoln Park, but a resident of the city that really cares about that
community. I do not want to see that community, go down. I think actually
what has happened is it is going up and the short-term rental business is
helping that, I do not see that it has hurting it. I have asked the question
with an open mind, how many problems have you seen in the Old Beach
Community ,this is from the management company I was referring to, has
not seen a problem in the Old Beach Community, you can speak him later.
I am not sure he has had to evict one person had to have a police to a
property. So, we appreciate the desire, but I just hope that we will open up
to what the reality really is, come up with a viable solution through partnering
with the community, businesses, and the city that is working hard on it to
have a solution that we can go on with. One of the ideas that that came up
was having a short-term rental sign on each of the short-term rental
properties, that if somebody does have a problem they can call the
management company, very quickly. This will be a uniform, attractive,
standardized sign that we could have throughout the Old Beach. If you have
a problem just call the management company on the side. Again, manager
lives in the neighborhood. One of the things that I have seen since I have
entered the business, the expenditures to keep these properties at the
highest level, they are up there. I mean we are spending some serious
money to take landscaping to the next point, to the next level, decks, any
kind of amenities that people might want, we are spending a lot more money
than we do year around rentals and we need to. Some of the suggestions,
as I mentioned before, what about a taskforce, a committee to come
together, guys like myself, Chris Edel, and others, will meet with the
community of the Old Beach. Be glad to meet with them and come up with
something that works for example, anything East Baltic Avenue with a Baltic
Avenue address east to the ocean, maybe that is a buy right short-term
rental. If it is in some of the more year around residential streets maybe that
is a conditional use permit. Consider giving it some time for this ordinance
to really sink in and see if it works. I really do not think we have given it
enough time to see if it works and if it does not work, I think we can find
some solutions to make it work. In the spirit of partnership, our company
just wants to be a model, an example for how to manage it, to be
responsible, willing to give our phone number out. I have met with a few of
the Planning Commissioners, we are here, I mean we live close, want to
talk to us management company is not doing it we are here. We are
available and we will be available and continue to be so. I just want to close
17
by pointing out two properties on this handout I gave you. You can take a
look. I think on your handout a little different than my handouts as far as the
way it's laid out. Take a look at page six, and then we will go to page seven
after that. We bought this property at 501 , 504, 25th Street and 2500, 2512,
25-1/2 when we bought it, guy was running a gambling operation there. I
knew it because I knew somebody who kept going to it, it is a friend of mine
I grew up with and he was running a black market gambling operation there
and he had five or six little shack units I guess the people that would come
and gamble there and would stay there. We bought this property, turn it into
four beautiful houses. Now, we sold these houses but nevertheless this is
really enhanced the neighborhood in a dynamic way. And,then if you go to
seven, this is a property many of you have seen across from the Old Beach,
very nice Middle School on 24th Street, Mediterranean Avenue. This is an
individual that I bought from, he owned these two houses and had a lot of
people packed in his house, way more units than what we put back on it.
We put six units back on it, we did again sell these but this is an example of
how you can take multi units, reduce the density, and you can either sell
them, you can rent them year round, or relate to this specific meeting today,
you can do short-term rentals. We own a property at 426, 23rd Street
recently and I thank you, you all approved the short-term rental application
for us, has three units on it. If I see, it makes sense I am going to tear that
old build down and put two units on it, brand new homes and might be a
way for me to redevelop a neighborhood that Barbara Yates back in 2005,
was proactively and actively eager to redevelop with the community. So,
anyway, I appreciate you listening, do give it a chance, I think there is an
opportunity to have a win, win for everybody in the situation. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes, I am sorry, go ahead.
Mr. Redmond: Mr.Bishard, do not come back up, but I wanted to respond to
something that you said I think it is something that there is just repeating
and a lot of thought I am a sucker for landscaping. I do not think it is that
complicated stuff, but it makes an enormous difference, and to you and Mr.
Edel and to the other folks who do this, I know that you do a good job of it.
And, I would just like for the general good to say, if you take a property and
you make it the sparkling property on the street, it is very difficult to be
villainized. And, a lot of the people who might otherwise criticize or complain
or have a problem with anything that you do are pretty easily disarmed when
they can trash their own place to the sparkling house on the street or houses
as the case may be, so I appreciate you bringing that up, I do think that
landscaping particularly intensive, well designed, appropriate landscaping
18
can make a big difference in the appearance of these properties. And, I
think that makes a giant difference in all of our communities, not just Old
Beach or the Oceanfront or Shore Drive or anywhere else. So, I appreciate
you bringing that piece up and I repeat it because I think it is something that
we all want to keep in mind, and in the development community particularly
that is a difference maker and something I think can kind of help carry the
day forward. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Landfair.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Joyce Sico, followed by
George Sico.
Ms. Sico: Hi, I am Joyce Sico, and I am 70 years old and I am retired, and my dream
has just about come true, because I owned when you get the flyers, the
property in the top picture, which was 2606 and 2608, and it was about a
50-year-old apartment building that was really good to be a chore to keep
fixed and I worked with Chris Edel and we developed it into four single family
homes, and the landscaping is beautiful on most homes I might add and I
kept two for myself. And, they are leased yearly I do not do weeklies, but in
the future I do not want to be an owner occupied at this time. I will in the
future probably in about five years, I plan on living in one. And, I will either
do weeklies in one or I might live in mine for nine months and do weeklies
and all the three months in the summer and travel and that is really my
dream. I have worked for over 25 years, keeping this property in shape and
then developing it. And, I have a daughter in New York, who will eventually
owner occupy the second home. And, she is the only daughter I have left, I
have one grandson and one great granddaughter, and that is my dream to
have my family here something to hand it down to them. But, with the new
ordinance, I could not really do the weeklies like I would like to until that
point. So, thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is George Sico, followed by
Frank Ramaekers.
Mr. Sico: Good afternoon. I am George Sico, I have the property on 400 and 402,
26-1/2 Street. And, originally, as we said before it was eight apartment units,
we did summer rental for 25 years and we only had three parking places,
and the whole thing we coped everybody we worked with it, and we did not
have a big problem with it. Nobody really complained even our neighbors
did not. So, we decided to redevelop it because the lifetime of the building
19
was pretty much it was his lifetime 50 years. My wife said we are planning
on living in one and sometimes rent the other one out for a short-term rental,
the way it stands now, I would not be able to probably do that, but the
property changed now. And, the thing about the parking is that we have had
construction on the Hyatt on 27th and Atlantic and is not complaining about
the parking, since they have been all summer long. They cannot use the
parking lot at the Hyatt because that is been used for the summer. So, they
come down and contractors are parked all along Artic Avenue and 27th,right
in front of our places, which has not been a problem, but I do not know about
the problem with the parking with the short-term route. If they had more than
two cars, they had three cars there is still room to park, if you want to on the
street it is a matter of just opinion and where you are going to park the cars.
And, there is garages too which I do not understand why you cannot use a
garage as a third parking space, you have got room for three cars, not two
in the driveway. And, I just do not understand this, how we are going to go
through all this again. But, anyways, that is my statement. Thank you for
hearing me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Frank Ramaekers, followed
by Eddie Bourdon.
Mr. Ramaekers: Okay. Our family purchased two residential homes 318, 27th Street.
First of all, I am Frank Ramaekers III. I reside at 429, 26th Street in Virginia
Beach in the Old Beach neighborhood. Our family purchased two residential
homes 318, 27th Street and built in 1935, which you can see on the second
page, it is a great home. And,429, 26thStreet built in 1939, both homes have
been placed in the Virginia Beach historical register with bronze plaque
attached to both homes. The homes have been remodeled and preserved
in original construction dating back to the 1930s, does preserving the Old
Beach neighborhood. They are kept in immaculate condition to appease our
guests and to develop superb curb appeal for the Old Beach neighborhood.
429, 26this my permanent residence and is shared during the summer
months with guests who visit Virginia Beach ad surrounding area. 318, 27th
Street is a short-term rental year around 365 days a year. We also have a
10 unit apartment complex located on 26th Street, which is kept in
immaculate condition every single blade of grass is cut perfectly. It is our
neighborhood, my neighborhood, my three children, my wife, and my
parents also involve and residing in this neighborhood and it is important to
us that everything is kept perfect. I also host numerous homes in Old Beach
neighborhood and I use the term host because I interact with the guests to
20
be sure the visit to our city is excellent, is flawless. Every guest when they
enter the home, receive a binder. You look in the last page, you will see
what it states. Upon the arrival of guests we see this binder and they agreed
to the rules and regulations, which they are stated here in the binder and
they also agreed to them electronically when they make the reservation
through Vrbr Airbnb. I just want to publicly state these rules and regulations
which guests agree to, it says "hello guest, thank you for choosing our
home, welcome to Virginia Beach to beach life, relax, and enjoy. Check in
time is four and checkout is 11, please make note of these times as our
cleaning staff needs this time thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the hall."
Especially during this time COVID-19, our guests appreciate the homes
because they are thoroughly sanitized, we do a CDC recommended
cleaning in the homes. Your home is in a residential area and your
neighbors reside here all year. We understand you are here to relax and
enjoy our beautiful beaches, but please respect their privacy and the
Virginia City Ordinance of quiet hours from 10pm to 7am. Virginia Beach
City violation of these quiet hours will result in immediate departure. I have
had hundreds of reservations through our homes in the homes that I also
host, and I have not had any problems, zero problems with the guests. At
this current time, I have over 100 guests, my phone does not ring. So, I do
not understand why the ordinances must be changed because I have zero
issues at the present time .Down at the bottom parking, designated parking
is provided for you. You may park two vehicles in the driveway, one vehicle
in the garage, please do not block the sidewalk, as it is disrespectful to the
pedestrians and our neighbors, you will be towed if blocking the sidewalk.
If you need additional parking please contact somebody "me" and I can
direct you to the parking. There is a public parking garage on 25th street, I
direct individuals there and I tell them it is $20 a night and in New York City's
$100 a night. And, that is where they park at if necessary. We always the
parking is controlled thoroughly. You guys have any questions, I appreciate
your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Ramaekers: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker on this item is Eddie Bourdon, followed by
Samuel Jones.
Mr. Bourdon:Thank you Mr. Landfair, Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the
record Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney I do not have a handout.
The first thing I want to talk about is, I want to say, Mr. McGee's comments
21
on item 18, because I and my clients do not have any problems with the
fines, but his one comment was spot on not to say, other ones were not.
The fact that we are putting a scarlet letter on short-term rentals by having
these fines that only apply to short-term rentals does not make sense to me
because I guarantee you, I have not asked Mr. Kemp, but I guarantee you,
we have a lot more problems in this city with code compliance with long-
term rentals. Okay. No doubt about it. So, the fines should not just apply to
short-term rentals they should apply to any property that is rented. This
short-term rentals are not anywhere close to the problem of compliance as
long-term rental or the yearly rental. That is even completely not arguable.
Okay, on number 19, the grandfathered or I consider they are legally
nonconforming. I will just simply say that everything else that deals with
legal nonconformance pretty certain goes to the Zoning Administrator, the
Board of Zoning appeals to court. I am not really sure why the Planning
Director is the one making the decisions on these on the 2600, short-term
rentals that are grandfathered or legally nonconforming. It seems a little bit
odd to me, but anyway. And what constitutes abandonment, there is a lot of
different tentacles to what constitutes abandonment as well. And, there is
legal precedent on that issue when it comes to nonconforming use and the
abatement of nonconforming use. And, I think that is why it belongs in the
Zoning Administrator BZA, quasi-judicial BZA, and court.As for the changes
to the ordinance the findings, characteristics of the neighborhood Mr.
Grockmal it is a false narrative that he put out there, because what is
residential short-term rentals are residential, long-term rentals are
residential, and short-term is less than 30 days under your ordinance, and
owner occupied it they are all residential. Maybe, there is a distinction
between owner occupied single family and rental, whether it is short-term
or long-term, I would submit that short-term, the vast majority of cases is a
better situation when it comes to the upkeep maintenance etc. of the
property than long-term, especially in areas like Old Beach, which have
needed for decades redevelopment. So, characteristics of a neighborhood
or portion of neighborhood like Baltic East which is probably 75% rental and
has been forever. What isthe characteristic, it is not single family owner
occupied, which I would submit probably is close to the majority it may well
be the majority on those areas West of Baltic and Old Beach. The idea that
Old Beach should be dealt with differently than Lakewood or Sea Pines, or
maybe even Shadow Lawn, the Shadow Lawn is different. I do not
understand why we are doing this part of the Oceanfront Resort and not
Lakewood to the South and Sea Pines to the North of 31st Street. But
anyway, and I said this at the workshop under number four, this needed as
22
a comp plan term, it should not say needed. We should not be in the
business other than a comp plan of suggesting what we need or we want.
It should be compatible resource, not a needed resource, although it is
needed in Old Beach for the portions that we have talked about and it is
also needed on 21st and 22nd Street as I have said previously, Norfolk
Avenue other main thoroughfares. Arctic and Baltic, no matter what you
say.it does see on a nice job with trying to calm the traffic, but that North-
South corridor of Arctic and Baltic, there are going to always be heavily
trafficked. And, it is different than once you get West of Baltic ran into
Barbara Yates, I was going to relate this at the workshop and did not have
time. At the vet about month and a half ago and Mr. Bishard and Mr.Edel
have been involved with Old Beach from a legal standpoint, but Staff and
Karen Lasily, etc. has been a great process over the years, and the first
thing Barbara said is, can you believe how great Old Beach is looking. I
cannot believe that Artic Avenue looks as good as it does. And, Barbara
has done even that and I said Barbara, yet it has been fantastic. You do
realize that short-term rentals has been a big part of that Arctic, because
Arctic and Baltic just like 21 st and 22nd always been a thorn in the city side
in terms of how do we get that to redevelop and putting more density, was
the old way and it turns out we can do it with less density, because of short-
term rentals and she said you know I do not like short-term rentals but I got
to say Arctic Avenue is looking extremely good and I did not think I lived to
see that happen. So, this idea that the Chairperson said this morning that
Old Beach has been hit hard by short-term rentals, I am not seeing that
whatsoever. And, we are seeing a reduction in the number of units on a lot
of these, and with the occupancy restrictions that apply to short-term rentals
that do not apply to people renting for more than 30 days in the same
neighborhood. And ,that is in here too, some of the languages a little
questionable I think some time needs to be spent on working on it, but we
are not at all opposed to the fines and really not particularly opposed to the
stuff in 19 although, again I do not think it is as good as it should be. On the
Old Beach part, it looks to me like it is a solution in search of a problem.
There are 2600 short-term rentals that are grandfathered legally non-
conforming. There have been 196 applications filed for short-term rental
CUPs since the ordinance went into effect. That is 7.5% of the ones that
already exist. The short-term rentals that have been approved by council
62,that is 3% of the short-term rentals that already exist. Our statistics that
I have that were presented to RAC and some of the people by the city, so,
there has been 63 short-term rental applications in the OR District. There
is no OR District in Old Beach I do not know where those have been
23
because I have not seen them. And, as I have said previously, why short-
term rentals CUP is needed in the OR District is beyond me it does not
make any sense at all. It is not a "neighborhood" as everybody uses that
term. So, it does not make a lot of sense, but most importantly there are
only 28 short-term rental applications, 1% of those that exist that have been
submitted and I believe acted upon or in the process of being acted upon in
all of Old Beach 28. That is my point of a solution in search of a problem.
That is 1% of the existing short-term rentals and then Old Beach is just a
small subset, as I said earlier, of the Oceanfront Area and I do not know
why it is being dealt with separately from Lakewood, Sea Pines, or
potentially Shadow Lawn. Also, city statistics show there are other short-
term rentals in the city, there are 29% in the Beach District, 29%. Now,
Princess Anne has the largest cause of Sand bridge, but that is still not an
overwhelming percentage. Old Beach is finally experiencing at a more rapid
pace, a long overdue and long encouraged by the city redevelopment. It is
an organic redevelopment, city has helped, but it is mainly the investments
that are being made by not just the folks that are here but there are others
as well, Ken Hunt comes to mind. Do in large part to short-term rentals and
many with an accompanying reduction in density, and certainly a better
control over who is there and what they are doing, what they are spending.
They are going to spend more money at the resort, because they are here
for a vacation. And, you or I would come down and stay on Baltic or Arctic
or 21st or 22nd street or Norfolk Avenue for four or five days or a week, but
somebody might not really want to live on those heavily traffic streets 365.
It is different from back in the area where there is not a lot of traffic. And, as
a Commission has a city we should be a little bit more thorough in how we
try to, we do not want to kill the golden goose and that is what this really is
in some parts of the city, not necessarily in Croatan, not necessarily at the
North End, but here in these areas that have been blighted in for years
needed redevelopment. It is a great asset and truly same is true for
Lakewood, and the other areas there, we should not be putting a scarlet
letter on something that there is no evidence is a big problem. Lastly, the
idea of by right owner occupied makes no sense to me. Okay, they just want
to use from it too because what if you have some people it is great, I have
one in Croatan and I would not get all details but bottom line, a lady with a
baby by a new husband, a 13-year-old daughter they were renting out
rooms in their house a year, this was going back four or five years ago. I
had everybody in my block, what can we do this is crazy. Why would they
let people move in the house for a weekend with their infant and a 13-year-
old daughter. So, owner occupied short-term rentals can be great, do not
24
get me wrong, but it is not a panacea. It should be governed by use permit
as well.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you. Do I have to answer any question?
Ms. Oliver: No, I think. Thank you, though. We will be back.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the last registered speaker on this item is Samuel Jones.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Jones: Good afternoon. I hope you guys can hear me. I appreciate the opportunity
to speak. I guess, I was 22 years old I left Virginia Beach and it is been six
years of my life commercially fishing in the North and South Pacific.I started
a family in 98, and bought a triplex on 27th Street that same year, since
then I have moved to the 500 Block of 26th Street. So, I have been living in
Old Beach now for 22 years. I am late to this party, but I spent last night
watching the July 8, meeting with the Planning Commission. I am a small
business owner. By day I wear toolbelt. So, in reality, the properties I own
in Old Beach are my retirement. One of the concerns I am addressing you
guys, I guess it would be agenda 20. In the future, my triplex is rented yearly
at the moment and has been since 2001.At some point, I may want to look
at doing short-term rentals. These gentlemen to my right and in the back,
they are obviously having success. The Old Beach Overlay has made my
neighborhood better. Some may say I live in a blighted home I live in a little
three bedroom and one bath that was built back in 54. I am not ripping it
down, I like my backyard. And,I am going to continue to update it. In the
past year, my wife came down with breast cancer and through this whole
transition our dream is possibly to rent our home and maybe go to France
for a couple weeks in the summertime. But what I see if you really want to
look at Old Beach and look at really who owns the properties and the
number of short-term rentals, the number of annual rentals I think a lot of
the tax records show that a lot of LLCs, own a lot of properties. I would vary
to say that the permanent homeowners are in the minority and it is a very
cool little neighborhood. I play tennis on 26th Street a couple times a week,
I surf out front. But, with that said, I have for short-term rentals between on
Mediterranean right. In the 600 block and the families that do rent those
home walk by past my house every day going to the beach and it is kind of
nice seeing people go walk and go to the beach. This morning I stopped a
couple and presently painting and redoing the hardwood floors and my
rental on 27th and they are doing three days, they are spending $300 a
25
night they are from Richmond. They are actually staying in not a very nice
unit. So, we have a pretty big we got these brand new homes that Chris
Edel has developed and then we still have some older stuff that is
considered blighted. That may not ever go away or maybe not transition out
as soon as the public wants. So, I want you guys to consider and respect
the older residents and the possibility of being able to use the properties
that we have invested in for future. And, there should never be a cap on the
number of short-term rentals or weekly rentals, because even if it's East or
West of Baltic .And, then on the agenda 20, I think that again I hope you
guys taking consideration any type of future investments and in future
people wanting to do short-term rentals and not alienate them if the
numbers, there is too many in the neighborhood. I honestly as a resident,
we are different than Shadow Lawn and we are different than North End.
We are very close to the hub of the oceanfront and at the moment it looks
like we are doing a good job of creating a nice neighborhood for short-term
rentals, weekly rentals and even annual renters, and homeowners to live in.
So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me for a second, I did not catch your name at the beginning.
Mr. Jones: I am Samuel Jones.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Jones, you are not late to this party, I thought your comments
were very valuable and I also want to say, we wish the best for your wife
and your whole family.
Mr. Jones: Yeah, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, at this time we would like to ask if there are any other
speakers present either in the lobby, or in the chamber that would like to
speak. Anyone?
Mr. Sanders: No one in the lobby.
Mr. Landfair: Okay. It would appear that there are no more known speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Well, I think we will close this now and then up our Planning
Commission.
26
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, let us close it and then we will open up for discussion and we will
move through these one at a time, and do we want to wait for Mr.Redmond
to come up we want him to catch up.
Mr. Weiner: I would like comment if I could Staff anyway. I do not have problem with
fines, but Mr.Bourdon bought up a good point. Why are we just picking on
short-term rentals and there is a lot of other rentals out there in the city that
have problems, long-term rentals. I mean I know why are preying on short-
term rentals, but we thought about that about long-term rentals too.
Mr. Tajan: As my understanding that because of the turnaround on short-term rentals
and that the regular zoning enforcement process of a 30-day notice, and
then going to the Board of Zoning appeals for some of these issues is a bit
cumbersome and by the time someone gets through that process the
season is over, and they are no longer renting, so, they are in compliance.
So, part of it is the ability to as allowed by state code for certain zoning
violations, they can become civil penalties which is what this is going for we
use this currently also. We have the ability to utilize this for signage as well,
but this follows what is permitted by State Code. Now, as far as this is a
subset in the zoning ordinance, there is an subset in the zoning ordinance
that talks about rentals. So, this is going in based on the utilization of a
property as a short-term rental.
Mr. Weiner: Follow up real quick to that, why are we including Sand bridge in this mean,
I mean another part of the ordinance, but I mean why would we include
Sandbridge on part of like they are in little entity down there and so forth.
Mr. Tajan: The zoning ordinance requires that anyone operating a short-term rental
comply with section 241 .2, which includes the portions that we deal with
grandfathering and also the performance standards.
Mr. Weiner: As I was just ask the question. Okay.
Ms. Oliver: All right, so we are going to start with 18, and do we have any comments
on this one.
Mr. Redmond: I echo David's comments it seems to me rather unfair. I mean I heard
your explanation, I just do not know that I buy it very frankly. I do think we
ought to enforce far more in the city than we do. But, it just strikes me that
we have different standards, so make a difference if you are violating the
law in some way, whether a renter is there for 31 days, whether there for
seven, I do not know that is particularly fair. I will say at the outset to, I mean
I thought I have heard everything, but this is very educational session today,
27
and I listened to every single word. But, I am more discombobulated than I
was when we began and I have objections based on what I have heard to
everything Ms. Atkinson I was perfectly okay with the grandfathering until
Ms. Atkinson. What is wrong with the lander does not it, I never thought
about that. So, if you decide you feel like living in your own house instead
of renting it for a couple of years, you cannot go back to renting again I do
not know how that makes any sense, any case. So, I got a whole bunch of
objections that I am not going to support anything today, because I think
Mr.Weiner I hope anyway if I have read them correctly sure it is my view,
but there is way more going on here than we can make up on the fly.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to interrupt you and I am going to let the attorney speak for one
second. It can happen all the time.
Mr. Redmond: I get it all day long.
Ms. Oliver: Its okay.
Ms. Wilson: I understand about civil penalties. Right now if you have a zoning violation,
which is what these are, when you violate the zoning ordinance you are
charged with an unspecified misdemeanor, it is a misdemeanor when they
say have you ever been charged with a crime, you have to put down, yes,
because it is a misdemeanor. Now for zoning you cannot go to jail, that is
why it is an unclassified or an unspecified misdemeanor. But, it is a fine up
to $2500. $2,000?
Ms. Wilson: $2500. Anyway, so we feel that a bigger penalty on someone, than
someone going through the system and having a civil penalty. They still
have due process. We send you what looks like a summons, it just says the
violation is this, the penalty is this, the $200. If you want to pay it, you go
down to the treasurer's office and you pay it. And, it goes into Planning's
budget under short-term rentals under civil penalties. If we did not do this
then people would have to go through the regular process, which could
potentially give them a misdemeanor. Now, we do not want to give them a
misdemeanor on their record forever for some of this stuff. We felt it was a
way to make it easier on people who have violations. Because a lot of the
things are not earth shattering, but there are other things that also have civil
penalties in the zoning ordinance, SANS are civil penalties. There is a
philosophical issue.
Mr. Redmond: We do not enforce the sign thing just so you know, we talked about
that earlier.
28
Ms. Wilson: Yes, they are. There is a philosophical debate between which is better, civil
penalties to get people to do things or criminal penalties, and it is
philosophical more than it is concrete. We have looked at going to civil
penalties for everything, but many people feel that criminal penalties are
things that require people to more readily bring their property into
compliance. If they have variance requirements, so they have setback
issues and they have other things. So, that is why we went to civil penalties,
because it was justifying. Now it is only$200,if you have a regular fine from
a criminal violation it could be up to, I think it is $2000. But, that is why it
was done, it is not something that is brand new or never been thought of
and you still get due process.As if we decide, hey I am not paying that$200,
I am just not paying, come on over to court. Tori will be there and she will
prosecute you just like it was a criminal violation, except her standards, the
standard for proving it is lower for the City.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Redmond: I thank you for that, I still share David's view, I just do not know that
is consistent, so, I have a different view of it. So, anyway, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes,
Mr. Graham: I agree with Mr. Redmond, I thought it was great to hear from these
speakers. Full disclosure Mr. Jones back there I went to high school with
him. And, he grew up in Virginia Beach he went first colonial High School,
as I did. And, I am sure that he is surprised it how revitalized that area is
today compared to what it was back in the 80s, it is very different. And,
hearing the speakers, I mean, they have taken places and you look at these
pictures, they took places that were eight units and converted them into two
houses, the before and after pictures. I mean, this is short-term rentals have
been the economic engine of that area they have to completely transform
that area. I am torn with short-term rentals in other areas like your traditional
neighborhood, but here close to the beach I am not I think that what has
happened over there is great. And, I agree with Mr. Redmond. I do not
know that there is anything in here you can support today, I think this thing
is being rushed through I think that more thought needs to be given to it.
Ms. Oliver: All right. No disrespect, but we are going to do 18, because I just do not
want.
Mr. Weiner: We got to do 18 first.
Ms. Oliver: We got to do 18, we got to do them separately.
29
Mr. Graham: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: And, so that we can focus specifically, kind of where we are and what we
are addressing. Robin.
Ms. Klein: I understand the argument for 18. However, since it is currently a criminal
penalty, which I disagree with, I do intend to support the transition to a civil
penalty, at least in the interim.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Perfect, right. Yes, Don.
Mr. Horsley: The whole thing was civil criminal penalty it did not make much difference
to me, other than the fact that the enforcement is the whole thing. And, I
cannot see that changing this penalty is going to make anything, I do not
know where the enforcement is going to come from. I just do not think we
have to staff or whatever to enforce it regardless of what it is. I mean, the
civil penalty versus criminal penalty, I mean it is minor penalties is as that is
fine with me I do not mind that, but what is the people that have put this
issue up what method of enforcement have they come up with to help
enforce with any type of penalty. Because, we do not have the staff now in
order to do it now evidently.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Horsley, you are correct currently right now we are working as best we
can with what we have and we do have three additional positions that have
been kicked free from the hiring freeze to allow us to focus on this as well
as our contract with host compliance. So, Mr. Kemp and I was in a meeting
with the City Manager discussing other ways to add to our enforcement
capability, whether it be a third party or to figure out a way to fund the ability
to have someone to be out there on the weekends to go and enforce these
requirements. So,it is not something idle,we were not just tossing the words
out. We are also working as far as staffing and finding other solutions that
are available to us to do the enforcement.
Mr. Horsley: I mean, I see this with other things not just short-term rentals enforcement
or other thing. People complaining to me all the time about various things
and said why did not the city take care of this and I said, well, I guess we
just do not have the people to enforce the code. So, regardless of what
penalties we put up there, I think that is something that somebody on
Council or somewhere has got to come up with a way to provide more
enforcement to use those.
Ms. Oliver: Well. Yes, Mike.
30
Mr. Inman: I certainly think civil penalties makes more sense than the criminal penalty
on this kind of thing and I think we can support that.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Inman: I would support that.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. So,do I have a motion for 18?
Mr. Inman: I will move approval of 18.
Ms. Wilson: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Marchelle will you call for the question please.
Ms. Coleman: Sure.lf you are in favor of the motion say, yes and if you are opposed
say, no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
31
Ms. Coleman: By recorded vote of seven for and one against Agenda Item 18 is
hereby recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Alright. That went smoothly. Alright, so now we are going to talk
about number 19, revocation of grandfathering status and City Council
funding regarding to short-term rentals.
Mr. Weiner: I will start this one. I am completely done with this one, after listening to
everybody out there, I really appreciate the input it was really good
information. I would make a motion to strike item two completely required
findings and the minimum I would support on grandfather would be 60
months.
Mr. Redmond: How many months?
Mr. Weiner: 60 months.
Mr. Wiener: Five years, 60 months. Okay. I mean that would be the minimum I would
support for grandfathering.
Ms. Oliver: Alright, hold on.
Mr. Wiener: That is just me.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: So, you want five years.
Mr. Wiener: Five years for grandfathering and completely strike item two required
findings.
Ms. Oliver: Item two, as in numeral two or the whole segment.
Mr. Wiener: It says item two. The whole paragraph.
Mr. Tajan: The required findings.
Mr. Wiener: Yeah.Items 1 , 2, 3, and 4.
Ms. Oliver: You want all of those gone.
Mr. Wiener: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Wiener: That is just me.
32
Ms. Oliver: That is just you.
Mr. Redmond: No, it is me too.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, okay. My goodness. So, you do not want aesthetically pleasing parking.
I am just asking, because you can pick and choose. You do not have to be
blanket.
Mr. Wiener: I understand, this is just my opinion thought through.
Ms. Oliver: I am just sort of soliciting.
Mr. Wiener: It is just not thought through, it needs to be. We need to sit down and think
about what is going on here.
Ms. Oliver: Because they do not have any problem with aesthetically pleasing parking.
I think that is a good thing.
Mr. Wiener: Well, that is fine if you want to fix it.
Mr. Redmond: Vote against it.
Mr. Wiener: If you want to keep it item two.
Ms. Oliver: That seems to be the crutch of our problems here is parking because that
is the only thing we have, and so we are debating on whether or not, gravel,
eight feet of this, does not look like that, what is the apron look like. So, if
we are hanging our hats on parking, we might as well make it look good.
Yes.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: However, be that as I have said before I share Dave's view, and an
awful lot of this is just not very well thought through and requires greater
consideration, factually though and substantively I do not like the idea that
if you choose to live in a house for two years that you were previously
renting then you lose the ability to then rent it again because you choose to
live in your own house. It just does not seem to me to make a lot of sense,
so, I am not going to support it. If you want to make a motion, I consider
what you said an improvement, and I will be happy to support your motion.
In the end, however, I am going to oppose the entire concept of it because
I do not think that's fair to property owners.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Robin.
33
Ms. Klein: If I get granted conditional use permit for my home now. I am not applying.
And, then I decide to live in it and I am not grandfathered or legally
nonconforming what happens to that permit.
Ms. Oliver: I do not think anything happens. Yes, okay.
Mr. Redmond: First I love how you keep direct these questions with Dee and I would
encourage you to keep to it, I'm rather enjoying that.
Ms. Wilson: You got a CUP right.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Wilson: Okay, your CUP is good for five years and then it will just simply disappear
unless you come and renew it.
Ms. Klein: Okay. So, I think that is very well in lined with your five year suggestion.
Yeah.
Mr. Horsley: But, you does not have CUP, if you do something, if you have some type of
a vested right in it within that five years, does not that make it stay. You do
not have to have it completed in five years.
Ms. Wilson: No. If your CUP is specifically conditioned on, it only lasting five years, so
there is no vested right argument, you knew you had it for five years that is
all.
Mr. Tajan: So, Mr. Horsley said that, in this case a conditional use permit is Ms.Klein
is referring to has a very specific condition stating that it lasts for five years.
If you are talking about other conditional use permits, yes, the discussion is
a different, but it is laid out in the ordinance that way.
Ms. Klein: If it is vacant for five years you essentially lost your right for grandfathering
property, and would been under your suggestion.
Mr. Redmond: Under Mr. Weiner's suggestion.
Ms. Klein: Right under Mr.Wiener's suggestion.
Ms. Wilson: Under Mr.Wiener's suggestion, just take the two and make it a five.
Ms.Klein: And make it a five, which would be the regular length of time fora conditional
use permit.
Mr. Inman: I actually support all of this. There is going to be subjectivity, there has to
be subjectivity you cannot, as Kay explained early on in our informal session
34
you cannot objectify every single thing, there is judgment calls to be made
by us recalled on to make judgments about density, and whether there is
too much density of short-term rentals. So, that it destroys the neighborhood
concept that neighborhood feel, the benefit of living in a non transient
neighborhood. So,that is what that is about. That is what two of those items
and number two are about. We have been concerned for many months now
about, we have seen, I think a higher volume of applications than we ever
really expected around the city, and we all of a sudden we are like, whoa,
wait a minute what is this going to do to these neighborhoods. Everybody
is thinking about today, Old Beach, I am talking about all of the things we
have been concerned about, some parts of the Shore Drive neighborhood.
So, I am not offended by any of these criteria that I think they are good that
we have to make those findings in order to protect the neighborhoods. So,
that is what I wanted to know. I am alright with it.
Ms. Oliver: I mean these are all the things when you look at them individually and then
the grandfather with separate from. These are all the same conversations
that we have every time we look at them, how many, where is the map, we
turn to Planning Staff and go where is your map, how many are there, what
is the street look like, what is the parking lot like. Well, the guy just paved
his whole driveway I mean his whole front yards. So, that is not aesthetically
pleasing. Somebody wants to gravel or put dirt in there, they are bumping
over curbs and stuff, all that is doing is saying, hey look if you can meet your
parking requirement or we can help you meet your parking requirement, can
we do it aesthetically pleasing. How is the landscaping look. The occupancy
is basically, does it does it meet the requirements of what everybody else is
doing on the street, you have 50 people in your house or do you have 11
people in your house that is reasonable to be in their bedrooms and what is
wrong with number four, STRs are needed. I am just curious resource in
certain areas of the city, particularly those in close proximity to venues and
part of that was because we do not have, Old Beach is three blocks from
our resort. We got thousands of hotel rooms right there. So, it is not as if
people are landing in 27th Street and they cannot find a room. That is not
the problem, that statement if I recall correctly part of that was due to the
fact that the Amphitheatre and the sports complex where we do not have
hotels, was so, that then we could look at that area and say yeah In fact,
they do need STRs there, because these families are bringing all these kids
into play these sports and stuff and we do not have any place for them to
stay and the resort hotels are too far for them to go.
35
Mr. Weiner: Okay.I understand, but I am going to break it down two and three I could
probably live with, but one I definitely could not. Who would say that the way
I think characteristics change in the neighborhood is different than yours, as
Mr. Redmond brought up earlier. Two houses on they are different in what
I think for a characteristics surrounding neighborhood. And, I know I am
keep bringing this up, but I think just because there is hotels there it does
not mean people want to stay in hotel, I do not want to stay in hotel,
anywhere I go I would rather stay in a house and that is just my opinion of
course. So, the proximity of the venues and districts in the areas generate
high volume. I mean, that is perfect for Old Beach in my opinion. So, I can
live with two and three rather, how is that.
Mr. Redmond: I would make the following argument characteristics of the
surrounding neighborhood. If there was a neighborhood with a
preponderance of short-term rentals, I would argue that is a characteristic
of the neighborhood. If you look at some of these neighborhoods and say
they havegot all these dots on the map, look how many short-term rentals
on there. Is that not fundamentally a characteristics of the neighborhood. If
I am one of these builders and I come up with an application and my
application is denied, on the basis that it changes the characteristic of the
neighborhood where there is already a preponderance of short-term rentals.
I am going to sue. I mean that is just strikes me as oxymoronic and really
needs a lot more work. It just kind of made up and it does not, again I am
not going to support this grandfather thing because I think it is unfair to
people who own things. But, that to me is probably the most offensive of the
things that I find here, I completely agree with you Dee about the
attractiveness of things, it is statics to stuff to me, it makes a gigantic
difference. In fact, I think we have to look much more carefully at parking
not just at the attractiveness of it, but how are we getting into. My problem
with this 9x18 thing is requiring far larger parking and more impervious
cover than we ought to and I think there is such a much deeper, more
complicated conversation than we have because I do not want all this. I
mean, you know much better than I would have all this more impervious
stuff. And, frankly people move their cars to let the other car out all the time,
not everything needs a big wide turning radius of a Chevy tile. So, in any
event, I just number one to me is, is a nonstarter. It is not ready for
primetime, it is easily argued in my view that in a lot of these places where
there is already a preponderance of short-term rentals, but that is a
characteristic of the neighborhood. So, I am not exactly sure how you even
on a subjective basis that that makes sense. Anyway, I am sorry, go ahead.
36
Mr. Inman: Then number one would be okay with you because you get to make that
argument saying, if you are not changing the nature of the neighborhood,
so, it is okay.
Mr. Redmond: But, that is my point is, it does not have any real meeting, if
everybody can see it 18 different ways and it is not really a law.
Ms. Oliver: I think that is the whole purpose of it.
Mr. Redmond: So, it is not to have meaning.
Ms. Oliver: No, I do not think the lack of, I am not saying new as it specifically I think.
Mr. Redmond: Well that is okay.
Ms. Oliver: Some people are looking for specific black and white laws regarding this
and I think it is subjective to where we are and what the area looks like. Do
I think that a lot of the development in Old Beach is a plus to that area,
absolutely I think that it is absolutely gorgeous to go down there after
growing up and down on the oceanfront and see that these places are
pushed to the street that we actually have sidewalks for once, we never had
sidewalks. The walkability, the balconies, the parking in the back it is all a
huge plus for that. Again, it's obbjective to them all of a sudden we have
another area that has some not so well run Airbnb's that are not properly
managed by a property management or that a company that is readily
available to troubleshoot areas, that is causing problems that allows us to
go in and say, you know, this is ruining the character of this particular area,
this particular neighborhood. This is an enhancement to this particular area,
this particular neighborhood.
Mr. Inman: I will give an example like Arizona Bay, very dense, there probably are not
any short-term rentals in there. But, do you want to allow a bunch of short-
term rentals in there, they are not used to having short-term rentals, they
probably do not want short-term rentals. So, there is certainly a right to have
some, but it could become such that it is now changing the nature of that
neighborhood, the nature of that neighborhood is not short-term rental. So,
this allows that kind of analysis.
Mr. Redmond: I understand that, my view is laws ought to have meaning or they are
bad laws, this does not have enough meaning to me. If you can interpret it
18 different ways, I do not know how you can follow it. They have to be
more specific and in this case, it seems me entirely just like we had to do it
the first time entirely rushed and that is how you end up with a mess. And,
37
we had one before we still have it largely it is that rush part, but coming up
with phrases like change the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood that do not really have any great definition to me. It is just
asking for trouble.
Ms. Oliver: I am just throwing this out there, because I am just trying to.
Mr. Redmond: This is a great discussion now by the way.
Ms. Oliver: I just want to figure this out. Let us just say, we head down to Princess Anne
out to the rural area. All of a sudden, we have got venues that want to go in
and do all this and everybody is like, no, because that changes the
character and the fabric of that particular area of what it is technically
designed to be. So, the zoning is AG, this is what we want this, this part of
our city to respond and act like. Now, we go into a residential area, which
people go in and buy a house and I am just playing devil's applicant.
Mr. Redmond: Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: We go into a residential area, people move here, the military moves here,
women are looking for schools, they are looking for a neighborhood, they
go okay, here it is. This is where we are going to go for the next two or three
years. We are going to buy a house this, that or the other. And, then all of
a sudden they find, well, it is not a residential area, we have got a
commercial use in a residential area that typically would not be. And, I am
not talking about what is within three or four blocks of the Oceanfront, I am
just talking about further into the city, further back. How does that perform,
we do we then just kind of say, we can go down to the farms and we can do
well, because that does not change.
Mr. Redmond: Well, let me answer it, and that is, it is far more specific than this is,
take his example about the wedding venue that we have been through and
we are going to see again of course. And, the ordinance as I understand we
have not seen it yet, but the ordinance is being drafted as, assembly uses
are not permissible in the AG District, is that correct?
Mr. Horsley: It is being negotiated now.
Mr. Redmond: Okay, but so, let me use as an example, that is pretty easy to
understand. That is pretty easy to point to, it is not as broad, and is
meaningless as change the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood. I know what an assembly use as, I know what AG-1 is, I can
point to that and tell you whether it is or is not, an assembly use. I mean, I
38
understand your example, but you kind of are helping me make that
argument which is that is much more specific, I understand what he is
saying, I understand what the applicant who's proposing that particular
application. And, it is pretty clear and you can just make a decision because
it has meaning, this does not have any meaning to me because it is just so
unspecific. I do not like that we are messing with people's property rights in
this grandfather thing, but that whole phrase changing the characteristics, it
is just not there, it is just not good enough for me. So, I mean we are just
going to disagree on this, I understand. But, I do not know that it has, it just
does not.
Ms. Oliver: only reason I'm asking is because at one point we are going to have to be
more specific, and so, why we were just on the roll I just basically. So, you
had Mr. Grothmal who said, well then, let us do it by a math problem. You
measure each street and two thirds of its residential and I am just throwing
it out and one third of it is STRs. And then, therefore now you have a math
problem, now you have law or something that appears to be more cut and
dry.
Mr. Horsley: You got a box you can check, when you figure it out that percentage you
got a box you check and when you get all your boxes checked you can go
with. But, but this is not that direct.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Horsley: It is a lot of subjectivity to those four comments there.
Mr. Redmond: It is altogether too much objectivity.
Mr. Horsley: And, really what it boils down to is can you take those four things and get
six votes that is what it amounts to and then put all aside. So, it is a lot of
subjectivity. I kind of agree with what David said about the two years, I would
not mind go into the five years on that deal. But, the other ones is a lot of
subjectivity because it gives you a lot of points that you can discuss like we
are doing right now. But, do you want to have a three hour discussion on
each one to see if you can muster up enough support to get it either passed
or not passed, you know, what it means to. And,I am going to say one thing
about it to talk to you here today, I got to move out of it people that spoke
today than any short-term rental briefing that I have been through by the
people. There is a lot taking place and we are kind of predicted that this
was going to happen, when we first started, but we were thinking in going
into other established neighborhoods not able to thinking about the beach
or whatever but we were thinking that blighted homes would be purchased
39
and people would take them and either remodel them or build a new home
there and do short-term rentals in as a business. And, that is what is
happening at the beach now that is what is happening and not necessarily
blighted, but older properties. And, it is really enhanced that area where it
looks like to me from the pictures I have seen today and I got to think of a
couple you all said somebody and I really agree that today's comments and
what we have heard has been the best that I have heard. Maybe, our
ordinance is not too far out of line maybe, we are getting something
accomplished of what we have got now, other than a few little tweaks that
have bothered me badly.
Mr. Redmond: I agree with you, I think the comments today were outstanding.
Mr. Weiner: You know what that bowls down to, is having the ordinance in place for a
little while. And, we are rushing to try and figure this out, we need to let it go
a little bit longer, maybe we need to let this go till November, let December
finish. And, then let us work on it over the winter, for next year. I mean, we
have not had this go long enough, we do not know what is happening there.
Mr. Horsley: The one thing I think that we did not anticipate was the number, the volume
of applications that was coming, I do not think that was anticipated with that
volume.
Mr. Alcaraz: Do we have the option of differing it, Ms. Wilson.
Ms. Wilson: It has to be returned to City Council within 100 days. So, you can differ it for
the next 30 days to your September meeting, if you wish to.
Mr. Weiner: If we differ, okay, this is me okay. We are going to be together for the next
four weeks every Tuesday night for next four weeks, we have no time to
think about this.
Mr. Alcaraz: Im just going to say that I was supporting number 19, with number two with
all the findings and comments, but I do like your 60 mark, so, I do not know
if I can do a substitute motion or an amendment to your motion, but I would
prefer to leave the motion.
Mr. Weiner: I thought you did.
Mr. Alcaraz: I said,l would make a motion, but did not.
Mr. Weiner: Oh, I am sorry.
Ms. Oliver: I did not hear you, what you said. You liked.
40
Mr. Alcaraz: I like the whole thing ,but actually if he wants to say 60 months, I am good
with that.
Ms. Oliver: I am good with that too. I mean, I will do that.
Mr. Redmond: Do we take out one and four.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to leave one and four.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am leaving them.
Mr. Weiner: Hey anyhow put me on the spot.
Mr. Graham: I agree with two of two and three of two, but I do not agree with one. One
it is poorly written it is very subjective. It sounds like to me that a lot of Old
Beach the characteristic of it is short-term rentals and rental properties.
Number four is just to me, I do not think it was written very well, I do not
think it was well thought out. But, I would support Mr.Wiener's idea of the
five years for number one for the grandfathering, and then on number two
and three, but not number one and four.
Ms. Oliver: I think it is George put the motion on for five years and then adding all the
rest.
Mr. Weiner: But, we can sit and look at number one and we can say, oh, Old Beach
does have the characteristics of short-term rentals, so we should approve
all of them.
Mr. Graham: Well, problem is that, I agree but then somebody else could interpret maybe
differently and it is just poorly written.
Mr. Weiner: It is not right.
Ms. Oliver: We do it right now. Mr. Redmond made a motion in Bayside due to the
density there I think it was a short-term one. There was a lot of density, it
was on Shore Drive something. One of them we did not do because of the
amount of.
Mr. Redmond: I will tell you exactly what it was, I will characterize it rather than you
character. There was a cluster of four homes, of those four homes one was
a short-term rental. Someone wanted to do another short-term rentals, so,
that two of the four would be short-term rentals that is 50% in a four cluster
of homes, and one of the owners who did not own a short-term rental had
particular problems with one that was there. My concern at the time was
that is probably going to exacerbate that, and that is gone from 25% to 50%
41
where 25% was a problem. That to me is a lot more definable than change
the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood. And, I could easily
quantify that and did in the course of that application. It is not going to
change my view I mean, I just do not think this is right. I only tell you what
I am going to do because we got 19 different options here. I do not like
anything in number two, I do not like the grandfathering at all. I think what
David has proposed is an improvement.
Mr. Alcaraz: We have a motion on it.
Mr. Redmond: I would support David's and I am not going to support the other one.
Ms. Oliver: Right now we have got a motion on the floor.
Mr. Redmond: David did you make a motion.
Mr. Weiner: No I do not.
Mr. Redmond: You did not make a motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I made a motion that number nine, or agenda number 18 be approved but
the change of 60 months and as far as the findings, amendment that they
all stick. I like it because I think it puts more work on the builders, the
applicants to do what they can to make this work for them, so, we can prove
it.That is why I like it.
Ms. Oliver: Do I have the second.
Mr. Graham: I second it.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. We are going to call. question, please.
Ms. Coleman: If you are favor of the motion say, yes, and if you are appose say,
no. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
42
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: No.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: I recorded vote of four for and four against Agenda Item 19 is hereby
being denied.
Mr. Weiner: The motion is failed. Can I make a motion to pass.
Ms. Oliver: Hold on.
Mr. Weiner: Well, it'll be four for again probably. I would make a motion for item number
19, I do not want to be five years, and for item number two record findings
to strike one and four and keep two and three.
Mr. Graham: I second that motion.
Ms. Oliver: Then call for the question Marchelle.
Ms. Coleman: Sure,give me one second.
Ms. Oliver: Sure.
Ms. Coleman: Okay. If you arein favor of this motion say, yes. lfyou oppose say,
no.Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Yes.
43
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: No,
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: No.
Ms. Coleman: I recorded vote of four, four and four against Agenda Item 19 is
hereby denied by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Weiner: So, this gives the council for 24?
Ms. Coleman: Failed, Correct.
Mr. Tajan: We did not do anything it goes recommended. So, as it stands it goes
recommended for denial by the Planning Commission.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, where are we. We are on number 20, which is to allow certain short-
term rentals as permitted use in the Old Beach Overlay District. Do I have
anybody that has anything, comments or motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am just glad we got an updated map and with the comments that we got
from I guess some of these developers or builders I appreciate what they
said and I have also appreciated what they have done from what it looked
like then and what it looks like now. Having said that, me understand this
OR is not in Old Beach?
Mr. Tajan: it is not on an Old Beach, that is correct.
Mr. Alcaraz: I was not aware of this, but everything as some of the builders said East of
Baltic has got that apartment or rental zoning. And, they are actually some
of them are offering to take that as the overlay. And, then maybe everything
west of that would be a use permit. So, I kind of support that, it kind of says
it right on the map.
44
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mike.
Mr. Inman: I support what George said mostly, but it would be if you are West of Baltic
if it is zoned a multifamily that would not require principal use. So, that would
be available without having principal, in a principal residence zoned A-12 or
is it any other A zoning West of Baltic.
Mr. Redmond: Can I ask an operational questions here.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, absolutely.
Mr. Redmond: STRs is a principal residents and owned by the operator, how in
practice does that work. It is my principal residents, that means I lived there.
Ms. Wilson: More than half the year.
Mr. Redmond: More than half year, so, like these family I am going to kick my family
out and I continue to chuckle about by the way. I am going to move out
whatever four months or five months or six months and then rent it but I am
going to go back for part of the rest of the year.
Mr. Weiner: What was it redefine that the line, which you are talking about.
Mr. Inman: Okay, Baltic Avenue is a primary line, East Baltic Avenue would not have to
be a principle residence if it is West of Baltic Avenue and it is zoned for
multifamily use would not require a principal residence.
Mr. Tajan: So, based on what you are saying Mr. Inman it may be easier to just say in
the Old Beach Overlay, are you trying to say that they can apply for
conditional use permit still or you are trying to say that they you think still
can apply. So, then it would be more uniform to say in the Old Beach
Overlay anything zoned multifamily can still apply for a conditional use
permit while everything else is zoned because you are talking about the
apartment zonings, correct.
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Mr. Tajan: Okay. So, while everything else has to meet this criteria, that makes it very
difficult for us. Because, based on the Overlay District you are permitted to
have single family zoning or single family uses on the multifamily properties,
which is why they are getting redeveloped in that fashion. So, I think we are
having a bit of a hard time trying to understand kind of the change unless
you want to make the bright line on Baltic only and not anything else.
Mr. Inman: That is fine.
45
Ms. Wilson: So, anything West of Baltic would have to have those requirements and
East of Baltic support which it is.
Mr. Alcaraz: By right.
Ms. Wilson: Make it by right.Okay.
Mr. Weiner: By right the conditional use permit.
Ms. Wilson: By right with the provisions of 241 .2.
Mr. Weiner: Yeah,that would be the ordinance like Sandbridge.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. So, East of Baltic would be by right.
Mr. Graham: And, that means the Westside not to get into the nitty-gritty, but I think we
say that the Westside of Baltic and this side East.
Mr. Alcaraz: One of the speakers, made it. I caught that too, but it would be the address
of Baltic Avenue West.
Mr. Redmond: Yes, I like that. That makes it simple.
Mr. Alcaraz: That kind of fills the blank. It is not half the street west because you got
property that is on the Westside of Baltic Avenue that is on Baltic Avenue
address.
Ms. Wilson: Like we have run the line down the middle of the street.
Mr. Alcaraz: No, I do not.
Mr. Graham: Not that in the middle street.
Mr. Alcaraz: Would use address Baltic Avenue.
Mr. Graham: Okay. So, it would be, it would have to be the back of the property line
along here that you are going to run it. I mean, you cannot run it down in the
middle of the street just because what is the difference between one side of
the street and the other. I mean, it is a busy street I mean I do not really.
Mr. Inman: Any property the fronts on Baltic Avenue.
Mr. Graham: That is what I agree with Mr. Inman.
Ms. Wilson: It has to be East or West.
Mr. Weiner: West, those to be West.
46
Ms. Wilson: Okay, I am lost. I am sorry guys I am having.
Mr. Alcaraz: Everything on Baltic Avenue East would be by right that is what I
understand.
Mr. Redmond: West side of Baltic Avenue will be by right.
Mr. Graham: Westside of Baltic Avenue would be by right, correct.
Ms. Wilson: With the meeting that provisions of 241 .2.
Mr. Inman: Yeah, correct.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. What did you George, do you mind repeat that. On the Eastside of
Baltic, Baltic is the dividing line. Anything fronting the Baltic Avenue is going
to be east. Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, now we need to...
Ms. Wilson: And then the West would be that.
Mr. Alcaraz: Correct, that is correct.
Ms. Wilson: That she says that she points to the screen. Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah. Just finish the overlay.
Mr. Graham: Because we already determined the 22nd Street was OR anyway.
Ms. Oliver: Is it, surrounded by OR anyway.
Ms. Wilson: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Klein: Are we keeping the provision about the multifamily homes that are West or
East or was that.
Ms. Wilson: No.
Ms. Klein: That is up, okay.
Mr. Inman: Do we have motion.
Ms. Oliver: Can we make a motion.
Mr. Inman: George.
47
Mr. Alcaraz: I am sorry, if I am sounding confused. So, we are not going North or South,
we are just staying at Old Beach, I thought we.
Ms. Oliver: No, because those two streets that you probably referring to are not in Old
Beach, 21st and 22nd Street are not in Old Beach, that is OR.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: So, you just looking at the rest of the overlay, which is basically
encompasses everything. I think I actually have a map for George, hold on.
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, I was saying that everything. How we ended up saying for Baltic,
fronting on Baltic East.
Ms. Wilson: If you're fronting on Baltic you are considered to be East, you are
considered to be part of the East. East is by right as long as you meet the
provisions of 241 .2. The west will allow us STRs by right also, but you have
to meet 241 .2 and it has to be your principal residence.
Mr. Alcaraz: I agree.
Ms. Oliver: This actually has the all the zoning on it. So, there it is.
Mr. Alcaraz: Somebody second it.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have a second.
Mr. Alcaraz: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Marchelle can you call for the question.
Ms. Coleman: Did we get a second.
Mr. Alcaraz: I did.
Ms. Coleman: Okay. Thank you. Alright, if you are in favor of the motion say, yes.
If you are oppose say, no. Mr. Alcaraz.

reviews. Okay. Yes, Robin.
Ms. Klein: I would like to make a motion that we approve the ordinance as written.
Mr. Inman: I second.

CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance amendment. This amendment clarifies the
regulations to which a property will be considered under should the Ordinance be
adopted. Although staff does not anticipate this amendment impacting many properties
in the que, there is currently one application located in the Old Beach Overlay on the
August and September Planning Commission agendas, it does make clear the rules that
will be followed as the new regulations are implemented in the Old Beach Overlay.
