AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Granting a Franchise Agreement for an Outdoor Café in the Resort
Area
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background: City Council adopted revised regulations for outdoor café
franchises ("Revised Regulations") on October 20, 2020. The Revised Regulations
simplify the outdoor café franchise program and allow more flexibility for outdoor café
owners and operators to keep pace with current standards in construction, design and
materials. The City has developed a franchise agreement for the regulation of outdoor
cafés, which the grantees are required to execute as a condition of the grant. The City
Council has traditionally granted initial franchises for one-year terms. If an outdoor café
is successfully operated during the initial one-year term, the franchisee may return to
Council upon the expiration of the one-year term and request a five-year franchise
agreement.
• Considerations: 27th Atlantic, LLC, t/a Oscars Oceanfront Cafe, is seeking a one-
year franchise agreement for the operation of a Boardwalk Café at 2613 Atlantic Avenue.
• Public Information: A public notice was published in The Beacon on January 10,
2021 .

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 10-1 of the City Code to Change the Polling
Location for the Bonney Precinct
MEETING DATE: January 19,2021
a Background: The Virginia Beach Electoral Board voted on December 17, 2020 to
move one polling location. The necessary location change to the Bonney Precinct is
because the Discovery Church no longer wants to host elections. The new location will
be at Princess Anne High School, located at 4400 Virginia Beach Blvd, 23462.
■ Considerations: Princess Anne High School meets all applicable requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act. This change in polling location will become effective
upon approval by the City Council, beginning with the June Primary.
All voters in the Bonney Precinct will receive a new voter notice with the name and
address of the new polling location. An advertisement will be placed in the newspaper
prior to the June Primary.
• Public Information: As required by Section 24.2-306 of the Code of Virginia,
notice of this proposed change was published in the newspaper once a week for two
consecutive weeks, and a public hearing will be conducted during the January 19, 2021
City Council meeting.
■ Recommendations: Adopt the proposed change.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 18-92 of the City Code Regarding Business
License Requirements of Pawnshops
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background: Pawnbrokers are required to obtain a permit from the Chief of
Police, and the requirements for such permit are set forth in the Virginia Code. Recent
General Assembly action requires the holder of a pawnbroker permit to be a natural
person. As authorized in the natural person legislation, the City Council adopted a
resolution to delay the natural person requirement for one year. That action allowed the
pawnbrokers that obtained 2019 business licenses, which included both natural persons
and corporate entities, the ability to renew such licenses for calendar year 2020. The
General Assembly did not act to change the natural person requirement in its 2020
session.
The natural person requirement for pawnbrokers is aligned with the public safety
purposes that animate the state law permit. These requirements generally seek to
avoid transfers of stolen property.
The focus of the City's business license is different. The City's business license raises
revenue for the City, and it ensures compliance with certain regulatory matters.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance changes the business type for which a
license is required from "pawnbroker" to "pawnshop." This distinction avoids forcing a
specific business model upon those pawnshops operating within the City. This
ordinance maintains the current business license tax treatment of pawnshops, and it
includes the requirement that the operator of a pawnshop have a pawnbroker's permit.
This ordinance does not change the existing permit requirements for pawnbrokers.
Those requirements are found in City Code § 18-32 and applicable sections of state
law.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance declaring the property located at 212 Fair Lady Road (GPIN 1497-
93-5053) and the vacant lot at the intersection of Fair Lady Road, Elon Drive and
London Bridge Road (GPIN 1497-92-4465) to be in excess of the City's needs
and authorizing the City Manager to sell same to Performance Collision Centers,
L.L.C.
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: JANUARY 5, 2021
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 19, 2021
• Background: The City owns the 2.759+/- acre parcel of land located at 212 Fair
Lady Road (GPIN 1497-93-5053) and the 10,369+/- sq. ft. lot at the intersection of Fair
Lady Road, Elon Drive, and London Bridge Road (GPIN 1497-92-4465). The larger
parcel is an assemblage of parcels acquired by 1) voluntary sale for the Oceana and
Interfacility Traffic Area Conformity and Acquisition Program (the "BRAC Program) in
2007-2008 and 2) by a mixture of condemnation and voluntary acquisition for the
London Bridge Road Project (the "Road Project") between 1995 and 2001. The smaller
parcel is a residual lot acquired in 2001 by condemnation as part of the Road Project.
Collectively, the two parcels are referenced herein as the "Property."
The Property is situated in Accident Potential Zone 1 ("APZ-1") and the highest noise
zone. As part of the City's AICUZ restrictions, the Property is restricted to compatible
uses. In 2008, the City adopted the APZ-1 Master Plan to guide the disposition of
acquired properties and development in the Accident Potential Zones. The APZ-1
Master Plan identifies the Property as "Transitional," which are areas that are intended
to convert to compatible commercial uses utilizing specific design criteria.
The City has received an unsolicited proposal from Performance Collision Centers,
L.L.C. (the "Purchaser") to acquire the Property to construct an automotive repair
garage, which is a compatible use in APZ-1 (the "Proposed Development"). The City
and the Purchaser have negotiated the terms of a sale of the Property for the Proposed
Development, which are being presented for Council's approval. The larger of the two
parcels was appraised in 2015 and valued at $195,000/acre, or $535,000. The
Purchaser has offered $855,000 for the Property. The Oceana Land Use Conformity
Committee (OLUCC) reviewed the elements of the Proposed Development and
recommended the sale.
The Purchaser has contemporaneously submitted an application for a conditional
rezoning and a conditional use permit, which were heard by the Planning Commission
December 9, 2020 and will come before Council on January 19, 2021.
• Considerations: The APZ-1/CZ Master Plan designates the Property as non-
residential and appropriate for compatible uses under the AICUZ guidelines. The
Proposed Development is compatible with the City Zoning Ordinance.
The agreement of sale and the rezoning proffers will include specific design criteria.
Since a portion of the Property was acquired by condemnation, an affirmative vote of
three-fourths of the members of City Council is required to authorize the sale.
• Public Information: Advertisement for public hearing as required by Section
15.2-1800 Code of Virginia and via the normal City Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approval.
• Revenue restriction: The Purchaser proposes to pay $855,000 for the
Property. The City funded 59.43% of the acquisition of the Property through the BRAC
Program in partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia. Thus, proceeds from the
sale of the Property in the amount of $508,126.50 (59.43% of the total) shall be
received and fifty percent (50%) of this amount will be deposited for appropriation in
future Capital Improvement Program capital budgets in Oceana and Interfacility Traffic
Area Conformity and Acquisition II, and fifty percent (50%) will be deposited for future
payment by the City Manager to refund the Commonwealth's portion in accordance with
the grant agreement.
The remaining 40.57% of the Property was acquired for the Road Project. Pursuant to
the guidelines established by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the remaining
sales proceeds must be appropriated to a transportation project. The remaining funds
in the amount of $346,873.50 will be deposited in the Traffic Safety Improvements IV
Project (Project#100423).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY;
1. it is hereby found and determined that the Project and the approval of the Plan of
Finance and the issuance of the Bonds will be in the public interest and will promote the commerce,
safety, health,welfare, convenience or prosperity of the Commonwealth and the City.
2. The Authority hereby agrees to assist the Borrower in facilitating the Plan of
Financing by undertaking the issuance of its tax-exempt and/or taxable revenue Bonds in an
amount not to exceed $39,000,000 upon terms and conditions mutually agreeable to the Authority
and the Borrower. The Bonds will be issued pursuant to documents satisfactory to the Authority.
The Bonds may be issued in one or more series at one time or from time to time.
3. It having been represented to the Authority that it is necessary for the Borrower to
proceed immediately with certain actions regarding the Project and the Plan of Financing,therefore
the Authority agrees that the Borrower may proceed to undertake actions to facilitate work on the
Project and the Plan of Financing, enter into contracts with respect to the acquisition,renovation,
rehabilitation,equipping and improvement of the Project,and take such other steps as it may deem
appropriate in connection with the Project and the Plan of Financing, provided, however, that
nothing in this Resolution shall be deemed to authorize the Borrower to obligate the Authority
without its consent in each instance to the payment of any moneys or the performance of any acts
in connection with the Project and the Plan of Financing. The Authority agrees that the Borrower
may be reimbursed from the proceeds of the Bonds for all expenditures and costs so incurred by
it,provided such expenditures and costs are properly reimbursable under the Act,the Housing Act
and applicable federal laws.
2
4. All costs and expenses in connection with the Plan of Financing and the
acquisition, renovation, rehabilitation, equipping and improvement of the Project, including the
fees and expenses of Bond Counsel, shall be paid by the Borrower or, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, from the proceeds of the Bonds. If for any reason such Bonds are not issued, it is
understood that all such expenses shall be paid by the Borrower and that the Authority shall have
no responsibility therefore.
5. In adopting this Resolution the Authority intends to take `official action" toward
the issuance of the Bonds and to establish its`official intent"to issue tax-exempt bonds within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 as promulgated under the Code, and to allow
the Borrower to be reimbursed from the proceeds of the Bonds for any expenditures paid by the
Borrower to finance or refinance the acquisition, renovation, rehabilitation, equipping and
improvement of the Project and the planning therefore prior to the issuance of the Bonds,all within
the meaning of regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Sections 103 and
141 through 150 and related sections of the Code.
6. The Borrower intends to utilize the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds or to incur
other debt to pay the costs of the Project in an amount not currently expected to exceed
$39,000,000. Such amount may be revised as the Bond issue is sized and structured, but the
aggregate principal amount of the Bond without taking into account original issue premium shall
not be increased without the approval of the Authority. Any such taxable debt incurred by the
Borrower to finance the Project after the date hereof may be refinanced with tax-exempt bonds as
approved by Bond Counsel.
7. The Bonds shall not be a general obligation debt of the Commonwealth or any
political subdivision thereof, including the Authority or the City, and neither the Commonwealth,
nor any political subdivision thereof,including the Authority or the City,nor any officials,officers,
commissioners and/or employees, past, present or future, of any or all of them, are or shall be
personally liable thereon. The Bonds, together with the premium, if any, and the interest payable
thereon, shall be a limited obligation of the Authority payable solely by the Borrower from
revenues, receipts and payments specifically pledged therefor pursuant to the terms of the Bonds
and the related financing documents. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the
Commonwealth, or any political subdivision thereof, shall be pledged to the payment of the
principal of the Bonds,the premium,if any, or the interest thereon or other costs incident thereto.
8. The Authority hereby recommends that the City Council of the City(the"Council")
grant"governing body approval"of the issuance of the proposed Bonds and the Plan of Financing

and a reasonably detailed summary of the Authority's public hearing held this date. The Fiscal
Impact Statement regarding the Project as executed by the Borrower and the Authority as required
by Section 15.2-4907 of the Virginia Code shall be filed with the Council as well.

for the issuance of Bonds by the Authority,and with the direction and assistance of Bond Counsel
3

in its capacity as "allocation administrator" for tax-exempt private activity bonds for the Local
Housing Authority Pool,or the Governor's Discretionary Pool,for one or more allocations totaling
$39,000,000 of local housing authority"volume cap"for the Project.
10. Any obligation of the Authority to exercise its powers to issue the Bonds as
requested by the Borrower is contingent upon the satisfaction of all legal requirements and the
Authority (including its officers, direction, employees and agents) shall not be liable and hereby
disclaims all liability to the Borrower and all other persons or entities for any damages, direct or
consequential, resulting from the Authority's failure to issue the Bonds for the Project or any

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Authorize Five Positions in the Department of the Virginia
Aquarium
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background: In January 2019, the Virginia Aquarium's Marsh Pavilion was
closed to the public for renovations. Construction was originally expected to be
completed in April 2021 . The Departments of Public Works and the Virginia Aquarium
now anticipate construction to be completed in May 2021 . The new building — now
called the South Building — will be larger than the old facility, increasing from 18,014
square feet to 58,170 square feet. To staff this new facility and accommodate new
programming, the Department of the Virginia Aquarium requests five additional FTEs,
including one Exhibits Technician, two Museum Educators, one Laboratory Technician,
and one Veterinary Technician.
The following is an outline of each of the positions being requested:
Exhibits Technician I: With the increase of technical and interactive exhibits on the
Aquarium campus, both indoors and outdoors, there is a need for an additional staff
member to start up these exhibits prior to opening, to shut them down upon closing, and
to perform preventive and scheduled maintenance.
Educator I Positions (2): Expanded exhibit galleries have created increased
educational engagement needs, particularly among the outdoor exhibit spaces, the
interactive touch pool, and the veterinary exhibit wing.
Laboratory Technician I: The South Building features an enhanced water quality lab
that will be used to perform water testing for all Virginia Aquarium aquatic holdings,
including the Main Building, South Building, and Darden Marine Animal Conservation
Center. This new water quality lab will be viewed by Aquarium guests from the exhibit
floor, seven days a week. This position expands the ability to test water quality from five
days a week to seven days a week, while also providing the capacity for laboratory
technicians to provide on-the-spot learning programs for guests.
Hospital Manager (Veterinarian Technician III): As the Aquarium collection grows, so
does the need to provide medical care. This position will shorten the time between
wellness examinations and improve the ability to address acute care needs.
These five positions were requested as part of the FY 2020-21 budget development
process. In the originally proposed budget, the City Manager recommended the addition
of three of these positions with a March 1, 2021 start date, as these positions were
identified by the Virginia Aquarium as being most critical to the opening of the South
Building. These positions include the Laboratory Technician, Veterinarian Technician,
and Museum Educator.
At the time of the FY 2020-21 budget development, the Aquarium was projecting a 20%
increase, approximately $1,300,000, in admissions revenue in the first year following
the South Building's opening. After the first year, the department was expecting to see a
sustained revenue increase of 10-15%, or $660,000 - $987,000. The Aquarium
indicated that this would be enough to fund costs associated with the South Building
from FY 2021-22 forward, thereby establishing a revenue stream to fully fund these five
positions.
Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, revenue estimates for the Virginia
Aquarium were reduced, and the new positions were not included in the amended
version of the proposed operating budget or within the Adopted FY 2020-21 Operating
Budget. However, these positions remain critical to the facility, and the Department
requests the authorization of these positions with funding provided by vacancy savings
generated through the first half of FY 2020-21. These positions are estimated to cost
$142,209 in FY 2020-21 , and if this request is approved by the City Council, these
positions will be included in the City Manager's Proposed FY 2021-22 Operating
Budget.
• Considerations: Should the City Council authorize the creation of these five
new positions, the Department of the Virginia Aquarium will use vacancy savings in
existing appropriations for the costs of these positions in FY 2020-21.

AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: An Ordinance to Suspend the Tax Imposed by City Code Sections 18-49 and
18-50 for Calendar Year 2021 and to Provide Offsets
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
■ Background: The City imposes local license taxes upon various businesses
with licenses from the Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Authority. These local license
taxes are authorized by § 4.1-233 of the Code of Virginia. The local license is in
addition to any state approvals and fees. The vast majority of such local licenses are
paid by restaurants serving beer, wine, and mixed beverages.
• Considerations: The estimated annual revenue from local ABC licenses is
$325,000. The attached ordinance suspends these local license taxes for calendar year
2021. This tax suspension will provide some relief to those businesses that have been
hit particularly hard by public health restrictions during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.

Support Four Bills

• Background: On November 17, 2020, the City Council adopted the City's 2021
Legislative Agenda, through which the City Council advises the local delegation to the
Virginia General Assembly of the City's legislative priorities and goals. Since then, four
bills have been introduced for the 2021 Session:

to assist state and local law-enforcement agencies with the costs of purchasing,
operating and maintaining body-worn camera systems;
• House Bill 1859 (C-PACE Program) would allow localities greater flexibility in
administering commercial property assessed clean energy (C-PACE) financing
programs;
• House Bill 2042 (Tree Canopy) would allow localities to adopt local tree
replacement and planting ordinances that exceed previous minimum requirements
to address recurrent flooding and comply with the local comprehensive plan; and
• House Bill 1738 (Outdoor Refreshment Area) would allow local governing bodies
to create up to three outdoor refreshment areas (ORAs) within their localities, with
a maximum size of one-half square mile per area, which would authorize patrons
of restaurants or other businesses with an ABC retail license located in the area to
leave the business and lawfully walk within the ORA with an alcoholic beverage
• Considerations: On January 12, 2021, the City Council received a public briefing
regarding these three bills. This resolution supports those bills, urges their approval, and
adds them to the City's 2021 Legislative Agenda.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process. The City Council received
a public briefing on this matter on January 12, 2021, and public comment will be received

12 §15.2-958.3. Financing clean energy, resiliency, and stormwater management programs. 1 1
13 A. Any locality may, by ordinance, authorize contracts to provide loans for the initial acquisition and L',
14 installation of clean energy, resiliency, or stormwater management improvements with free and willing
15 property owners of both existing properties and new construction. No such loan shall be used to ti
16 improve a residential dwelling that contains fewer than five dwelling units or a residential condominium
17 as defined in §55.1-2000. Such an ordinance shall include but net he kited to the following:
18 1. The kinds of renewable energy production and distribution facilities, energy usage efficiency
19 improvements, resiliency improvements, water usage efficiency improvements, or stormwater
20 management improvements for which loans may be offered. Resiliency improvements may include
21 mitigation of flooding or the impacts of flooding or stormwater management improvements with a
22 preference for natural or nature-based features and living shorelines as defined in §28.2-104.1;
23 2. The proposed arrangement for such loan program, including (i) a statement concerning the source
24 of funding that will be used to pay for work performed pursuant to the contracts; (ii) the interest Fate bd
25 end time period during which contracting property owners would repay the loan; and (iii) the method of
26 apportioning all or any portion of the costs incidental to financing, administration, and collection of the `O
27 arrangement among the consenting property owners and the locality;
28 3. (i) A minimum and maximum aggregate dollar amount that may be financed with respect to a
29 property and (ii) if a locality or other public body is originating the loan, a maximum aggregate dollar
30 amount that may be financed with respect to leans a loan originated by the locality or other public
31 body. If the property owner incurred the costs of improvements to be refinanced or reimbursed within
32 the two years prior to the closing date of the financing and if such improvements have been made, the
33 loan amount may include the total costs of the improvements to be refinanced or reimbursed;
34 4. In the case of a loan program described in clause (ii) of subdivision 3, a method for setting
35 requests from property owners for financing in priority order in the event that requests appear likely to
36 exceed the authorization amount of the loan program. Priority shall be given to those requests from
37 property owners who meet established income or assessed property value eligibility requirements;
38 5. Identification of a local official authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the locality. A
39 locality may contract with a third party for professional services to administer such loan program;
40 6. Identification of any fee that the locality intends to impose on the property owner requesting to
41 participate in the loan program to offset the cost of administering the loan program. The fee may be
42 assessed as (i) a program application closing fee paid by the property owner requesting to participate in
43 the program; or (ii) a component of the interest rate en the assessment in the written contrast between
44 the locality and the property owner, of (4ii) a combination of clauses (i) and (ii-)project application fee;

46 7. A draft contract specifying the terms and conditions proposed by the locality.
47 B. The locality may combine the loan payments required by the contracts with billings for water or
48 sewer charges, real property tax assessments, or other billings; in such cases, the locality may establish
49 the order in which loan payments will be applied to the different charges. The locality may shall not
50 combine its billings for loan payments required by a contract authorized pursuant to this section with
51 billings of another locality or political subdivision, including an authority operating pursuant to Chapter
52 51 (§ 15.2-5100 et seq.), unless such locality or political subdivision has given its consent by duly
53 adopted resolution or ordinance.
54 C. The locality shall offer private lending institutions the opportunity to participate in local loan
55 programs established pursuant to this section.
56 D. In order to secure the a loan authorized pursuant to this section, the locality shall be authorized to
57 may place a voluntary special assessment lien equal in value to the loan against any property where such
58 clean energy systems, resiliency improvements, or stormwater management improvements are being
HB1859 2 of
59 installed. The locality may bundle or package said such loans for transfer to private lenders in saeh a
60 manner that would allow allows the voluntary special assessment liens to remain in full force to secure
61 the loans. The placement of a voluntary special assessment lien shall not require a new assessment of
62 the value of the real property that is being improved under the loan program.
63 E. A voluntary special assessment lien on real property ether than a residential dwelling with fewer
64 than five dwelling units or a eendeminium project as defined in § 55.1 'moo:
65 1. Shall have the same priority status as a property tax lien against real property, except that such
66 voluntary special assessment lien shall have priority over any previously recorded mortgage or deed of
67 trust lien only if(i) a written subordination agreement, in a form and substance acceptable to each prior
68 lienholder in its sole and exclusive discretion, is executed by the holder of each mortgage or deed of
69 trust lien on the property and recorded with the special assessment lien in the land records where the
70 property is located, and (ii) evidence that the property owner is current on payments on loans secured by
71 a mortgage or deed of trust lien on the property and on property tax payments, that the property owner
72 is not insolvent or in bankruptcy proceedings, and that the title of the benefited property is not in
73 dispute is submitted to the locality prior to recording of the special assessment lien;
74 2. Shall run with the land, and that portion of the assessment under the assessment contract that has
75 not yet become due is not eliminated by foreclosure of a property tax lien;
76 3. May be enforceable by the local government in the same manner that a property tax lien against
77 real property may be enforced by the local government. A local government shall be entitled to recover
78 costs and expenses, including attorney fees, in a suit to collect a delinquent installment of an assessment
79 in the same manner as in a suit to collect a delinquent property tax; and
80 4. May incur interest and penalties for delinquent installments of the assessment in the same manner
81 as delinquent property taxes.
82 F. Prior to the enactment of an ordinance pursuant to this section, a public hearing shall be held at
83 which interested persons may object to or inquire about the proposed loan program or any of its
84 particulars. The public hearing shall be advertised once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper
85 of general circulation in the locality.
86 G. The Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy shall have the authority to may serve as a

10 Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
11 1. That §§ 15.2-961 and 15.2-961.1 of the Code of Virginia are amended and reenacted as follows:
12 § 15.2-961. Replacement of trees during development process in certain localities. 1 1
13 A. Any locality with a population density of at least 75 persons per square mile or any locality t J
14 within the Chesapeake Bay watershed may adopt an ordinance providing for the planting and
15 replacement of trees during the development process pursuant to the provisions of this section. ej
16 Population density shall be based upon the latest population estimates of the Cooper Center for Public
17 Service of the University of Virginia.
18 B. The Except as set forth in subsection J, the ordinance shall require that the site plan for any
19 subdivision or development include the planting or replacement of trees on the site to the extent that, at
20 20 years, minimum tree canopies or covers will be provided in areas to be designated in the ordinance,
21 as follows:
22 1. Ten percent tree canopy for a site zoned business, commercial, or industrial;
23 2. Ten percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned 20 or more units per acre;
24 3. Fifteen percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned more than 10 but less than 20 units per CO
25 acre; and
26 4. Twenty percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned 10 units or less per acre.
27 However, the City of Williamsburg may require at 10 years the minimum tree canopies or covers set
28 out above.
29 C. The ordinance shall require that the site plan for any subdivision or development include, at 20
30 years, that a minimum 10 percent tree canopy will be provided on the site of any cemetery as defined in
31 § 54.1-2310, notwithstanding any other provision of this section. In no event shall any local tree
32 replacement or planting ordinance adopted pursuant to this section exceed the requirements of this
33 subsection.
34 D. The ordinance shall provide for reasonable provisions for reducing the tree canopy requirements
35 or granting tree cover credit in consideration of the preservation of existing tree cover or for
esi
36 preservation of trees of outstanding age, size or physical characteristics.
37 E. The ordinance shall provide for reasonable exceptions to or deviations from these requirements to
esi 38 allow for the reasonable development of farm land or other areas devoid of healthy or suitable woody
39 materials, for the preservation of wetlands, or otherwise when the strict application of the requirements
40 would result in unnecessary or unreasonable hardship to the developer. In such instances, the ordinance
41 may provide for a tree canopy bank or fund whereby a portion of a development's tree canopy
42 requirement may be met from off-site planting or replacement of trees, as provided in § 15.2-961.1, at
43 the direction of the locality. The following shall be exempt from the requirements of any tree
44 replacement or planting ordinance promulgated under this section: dedicated school sites, playing fields
45 and other nonwooded recreation areas, and other facilities and uses of a similar nature.
46 F. The ordinance may designate tree species that cannot be planted to meet minimum tree canopy
47 requirements due to tendencies of such species to (i) negatively impact native plant communities, (ii)
48 cause damage to nearby structures and infrastructure, or (iii) possess inherent physiological traits that
49 cause such trees to structurally fail. All trees to be planted shall meet the specifications of the
50 AmericanHort. The planting of trees shall be done in accordance with either the standardized landscape
51 specifications jointly adopted by the Virginia Nursery and Landscape Association, the Virginia Society
52 of Landscape Designers and the Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, or
53 the road and bridge specifications of the Virginia Department of Transportation.
54 G. Existing trees which are to be preserved may be included to meet all or part of the canopy
55 requirements, and may include wooded preserves, if the site plan identifies such trees and the trees meet
56 standards of desirability and life-year expectancy which the locality may establish.
57 H. For purposes of this section:
58 "Tree canopy" or "tree cover" includes all areas of coverage by plant material exceeding five feet in
HB2042 2 of 5
59 height, and the extent of planted tree canopy at 10 or 20 years maturity. Planted canopy at 10 or 20
60 years maturity shall be based on published reference texts generally accepted by landscape architects,
61 nurserymen, and arborists in the community, and the texts shall be specified in the ordinance.
62 I. Penalties for violations of ordinances adopted pursuant to this section shall be the same as those
63 applicable to violations of zoning ordinances of the locality.
64 J. In no event shall any A local tree replacement or planting ordinance adopted pursuant to this
65 section may exceed the requirements set forth herein (i) to generate pollution reduction credits through
66 installation of an approved Urban Tree Canopy Expansion best management practice (BMP) or other
67 approved BMP for compliance with the locality's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit;
68 (ii) in any development project located in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area; (iii) in any development
69 project located in an area that prior to the passage of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
70 § 3601 et seq., was redlined or graded "D"by the federal Home Owners'Loan Corporation; and (iv) to
71 ensure conformity with the comprehensive plan adopted by the locality pursuant to §§ 15.2-2223 through
72 15.2-2226.
73 K. Nothing in this section shall invalidate any local ordinance adopted pursuant to the provisions of
74 this section prior to July 1, 1990, which imposes standards for tree replacement or planting during the
75 development process.
76 L. Nothing in this section shall invalidate any local ordinance adopted by the City of Williamsburg
77 that imposes standards for 10-year-minimum tree cover replacement or planting during the development
78 process.
79 M. Nothing in this section shall invalidate any local ordinance adopted pursuant to the provisions of
80 this section after July 1, 1990, which imposes standards for 20-year-minimum tree cover replacement or
81 planting during the development process.
82 §15.2-961.1. Conservation of trees during land development process.
83 A. For purposes of this section, "tree canopy" or "tree cover" includes all areas of canopy coverage
84 by self-supporting and healthy woody plant material exceeding five feet in height, and the extent of
85 planted tree canopy at 20-years maturity.
86 B. Any locality within Planning Distriet 8 that meets the population density criteria e€subseetion A
87 of§ 15.2 961 and is classified as an eight-hour new area fec ozone under the federal Glean Air
88 Aet and Amendments of f9907 in effect as of July 2008, may adopt an ordinance providing for the
89 conservation of trees during the land development process pursuant to the provisions of this section. In
90 no event shall any local tree conservation ordinance adopted pursuant to this section also impose the tree
91 replacement provisions of§ 15.2-961.
92 C. The ordinance shall require that the site plan for any subdivision or development provide for the
93 preservation or replacement of trees on the development site such that the minimum tree canopy or tree
94 cover percentage 20 years after development is projected to be as follows:
95 1. Ten percent tree canopy for a site zoned business, commercial, or industrial;
96 2. Ten percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned 20 or more units per acre;
97 3. Fifteen percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned more than eight but less than 20 units per
98 acre;
99 4. Twenty percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned more than four but not more than eight
100 units per acre;
101 5. Twenty-five percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned more than two but not more than four
102 units per acre; and
103 6. Thirty percent tree canopy for a residential site zoned two or fewer units per acre.
104 In meeting these percentages, (i) the ordinance shall first emphasize the preservation of existing tree
105 canopy where that canopy meets local standards for health and structural condition, and where it is
106 feasible to do so within the framework of design standards and densities allowed by the local zoning
107 and other development ordinances; and (ii) second, where it is not feasible in whole or in part for any
108 of the justifications listed in subsection E to preserve existing canopy in the required percentages listed
109 above, the ordinance shall provide for the planting of new trees to meet the required percentages.
110 D. Except as provided in subsection E, the percentage of the site covered by tree canopy at the time
111 of plan submission shall equate to the minimum portion of the requirements identified in subsection C
112 that shall be provided through tree preservation. This portion of the canopy requirements shall be
113 identified as the "tree preservation target" and shall be included in site plan calculations or narratives
114 demonstrating how the overall requirements of subsection C have been met.
115 E. The ordinance shall provide deviations, in whole or in part, from the tree preservation target
116 defined in subsection D under the following conditions:
117 1. Meeting the preservation target would prevent the development of uses and densities otherwise
118 allowed by the locality's zoning or development ordinance.
119 2. The predevelopment condition of vegetation does not meet the locality's standards for health and
120 structural condition.
3 of 5
121 3. Construction activities could be reasonably expected to impact existing trees to the extent that they
122 would not likely survive in a healthy and structurally sound manner. This includes activities that would
123 cause direct physical damage to the trees, including root systems, or cause environmental changes that I..I
124 could result in or predispose the trees to structural and health problems.
125 If, in the opinion of the developer, the project cannot meet the tree preservation target due to the
126 conditions described in subdivision 1, 2, or 3, the developer may request a deviation from the H
127 preservation requirement in subsection D. In the request for deviation, the developer shall provide a
128 letter to the locality that provides justification for the deviation, describes how the deviation is the 0
129 minimum necessary to afford relief, and describes how the requirements of subsection C will be met 130 through tree planting or a tree canopy bank or fund established by the locality. Proposed deviations shall O
131 be reviewed by the locality's urban forester, arborist, or equivalent in consultation with the locality's land u
132 development or licensed professional civil engineering review staff. The locality may propose an
133 alternative site design based upon adopted land development practices and sound vegetation management
134 practices that take into account the relationship between the cost of conservation and the benefits of the
135 trees to be preserved as described in ANSI A300 (Part 5) — 2005 Management: Tree, Shrub, and Other 1 j
136 Woody Plant Maintenance — Standard Practices, Management of Trees and Shrubs During Site M
137 Planning, Site Development, and Construction, Annex A, A-1.5, Cost Benefits Analysis (or the latest
138 version of this standard). The developer shall consider the alternative and redesign the plan accordingly, el
139 or elect to satisfy the unmet portion of the preservation threshold through on-site tree planting or
140 through the off-site planting mechanisms identified in subsection G, so long as the developer provides
141 the locality with an explanation of why the alternative design recommendations were rejected. Letters of
142 explanation from the developer shall be prepared and certified by a licensed professional engineer as
143 defined in § 54.1-400. If arboricultural issues are part of explanation then the letter shall be signed by a
144 Certified Arborist who has taken and passed the certification examination sponsored by the International
145 Society of Arboriculture and who maintains a valid certification status or by a Registered Consulting
146 Arborist as designated by the American Society of Consulting Arborists. If arboricultural issues are the
147 sole subject of the letter of explanation then certification by a licensed professional engineer shall not be it
148 required.
149 F. The ordinance shall provide for deviations of the overall canopy requirements set forth in N
150 subsection C to allow for the preservation of wetlands, the development of farm land or other areas
151 previously devoid of healthy and/or suitable tree canopy, or where the strict application of the
152 requirements would result in unnecessary or unreasonable hardship to the developer.
153 G. The ordinance shall provide for the establishment of a tree canopy bank or fund whereby any
154 portion of the tree canopy requirement that cannot be met on-site may be met through off-site tree
155 preservation or tree planting efforts. Such provisions may be offered where it can be demonstrated that
156 application of the requirements of subsection C would cause irresolvable conflicts with other local site
157 development requirements, standards, or comprehensive planning goals, where sites or portions of sites
158 lack sufficient space for future tree growth, where planting spaces will not provide adequate space for
159 healthy root development, where trees will cause unavoidable conflicts with underground or overhead
160 utilities, or where it can be demonstrated that trees are likely to cause damage to public infrastructure.
161 The ordinance may utilize any of the following off-site canopy establishment mechanisms:
162 1. A tree canopy bank may be established in order for the locality to facilitate off-site tree
163 preservation, tree planting, stream bank, and riparian restoration projects. Banking efforts shall provide
164 tree canopy that is preserved in perpetuity through conservation easements, deed restrictions, or similar
165 protective mechanisms acceptable to the locality. Projects used in off-site banking will meet the same
166 ordinance standards established for on-site tree canopy; however, the locality may also require the
167 submission of five-year management plans and funds to ensure the execution of maintenance and
168 management obligations identified in those plans. Any such bank shall occur within the same
169 nonattainment area in which the locality approving the tree banking is situated.
170 2. A tree canopy fund may be established to act as a fiscal mechanism to collect, manage, and
171 disburse fees collected from developers that cannot provide full canopy requirements on-site. The
172 locality may use this fund directly to plant trees on public property, or the locality may elect to disburse
173 this fund to community-based organizations exempt from taxation under § 501(c)(3) of the Internal
174 Revenue Code with tree planting or community beautification missions for tree planting programs that
175 benefit the community at large. For purposes of establishing consistent and predictable fees, the
176 ordinance shall establish cost units that are based on average costs to establish 20-year canopy areas
177 using two-inch caliper nursery stock trees. Any funds collected by localities for these purposes shall be
178 spent or disbursed as set forth herein within a five-year period established by the collection date er the
179 locality shall fetufa such funds to the original of legal seeeessor.
180 H. The following uses shall be exempt from the requirements of any ordinance promulgated under
181 this section: bona fide silvicultural activity as defined by § 10.1-1181.1 and the areas of sites included in
HB2042 4 of 5
182 lakes, ponds, and the normal water elevation area of stormwater retention facilities. The ordinance shall
183 modify the canopy requirements of dedicated school sites, playing fields, and other nonwooded active
184 recreation areas by allowing these and other facilities and uses of a similar nature to provide 10 percent
185 tree canopy 20 years after development.
186 I. 1. In recognition of the added benefits of tree preservation, the ordinance shall provide for an
187 additional tree canopy credit of up to one and one-quarter times the canopy area at the time of plan
188 submission for individual trees or the coalesced canopy of forested areas preserved from the
189 predevelopment tree canopy.
190 2. The following additional credits may be provided in the ordinance in connection with tree
191 preservation:
192 a. The ordinance may provide canopy credits of up to one and one-half times the actual canopy area
193 for the preservation of forest communities that achieve environmental, ecological, and wildlife
194 conservation objectives set by the locality. The ordinance may establish minimal area, dimensional and
195 viability standards as prerequisites for the application of credits. Forest communities shall be identified
196 using the nomenclature of either the federal National Vegetation Classification System (FGDC-STD-005,
197 or latest version) or the Natural Communities of Virginia Classification of Ecological Community
198 Groups, Second Approximation (Version 2.2, or latest version).
199 b. The ordinance may provide canopy credits of up to three times the actual canopy area of trees that
200 are officially designated for preservation in conjunction with local tree conservation ordinances based on
201 the authority granted by § 10.1-1127.1.
202 J. The following additional credits shall be provided in the ordinance in connection with tree
203 planting:
204 1. The ordinance shall provide canopy credits of one and one-half the area normally projected for
205 trees planted to absorb or intercept air pollutants, tree species that produce lower levels of reactive
206 volatile organic compounds, or trees that act to reduce air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions by
207 conserving the energy used to cool and heat buildings.
208 2. The ordinance shall provide canopy credits of one and one-quarter the area normally projected for
209 trees planted for water quality-related reforestation or afforestation projects, and for trees planted in
210 low-impact development and bioretention water quality facilities. The low-impact development practices
211 and designs shall conform to local standards in order for these supplemental credits to apply.
212 3. The ordinance shall provide canopy credits of one and one-half the area normally projected for
213 native tree species planted to provide food, nesting, habitat, and migration opportunities for wildlife.
214 These canopy credits may also apply to cultivars of native species if the locality determines that such a
215 cultivar is capable of providing the same type and extent of wildlife benefit as the species it is derived
216 from.
217 4. The ordinance shall provide canopy credits of one and one-half the area normally projected for use
218 of native tree species that are propagated from seed or tissue collected within the mid-Atlantic region.
219 5. The ordinance shall provide canopy credits of one and one-quarter the area normally projected for
220 the use of cultivars or varieties that develop desirable growth and structural patterns, resist decay
221 organisms and the development of cavities, show high levels of resistance to disease or insect
222 infestations, or exhibit high survival rates in harsh urban environments.
223 K. Tree preservation areas and individual trees may not receive more than one application of
224 additional canopy credits provided in subsection I. Individual trees planted to meet these requirements
225 may not receive more than two categories of additional canopy credits provided in subsection J. Canopy
226 credits will only be given to trees with trunks that are fully located on the development site, or in the
227 case of tree banking projects only to trees with trunks located fully within easements or other areas
228 protected by deed restrictions listed in subsection G.
229 L. All trees planted for tree cover credits shall meet the specifications of the American Assesiatien
230 of Nu seiymen AmericanHort and shall be planted in accordance with the publication entitled "Tree and
231 Shrub Planting Guidelines," published by the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
232 M. In order to provide higher levels of biodiversity and to minimize the spread of pests and diseases,
233 or to limit the use of species that cause negative impacts to native plant communities, cause damage to
234 nearby structures, or possess inherent physiological traits that prone trees to structural failure, the
235 ordinance may designate species that cannot be used to meet tree canopy requirements or designate
236 species that will only receive partial 20-year tree canopy credits.
237 N. The locality may allow the use of tree seedlings for meeting tree canopy requirements in large
238 open spaces, low-density residential settings, or in low-impact development reforestation/afforestation
239 projects. In these cases, the ordinance shall allow the ground surface area of seedling planting areas to
240 equate to a 20-year canopy credit area. Tree seedling plantings will be comprised of native species and
241 will be planted in densities that equate to 400 seedlings per acre, or in densities specified by low-impact
242 development designs approved by the locality. The locality may set standards for seedling mortality rates
243 and replacement procedures if unacceptable rates of mortality occur. The locality may elect to allow
5 of 5
244 native woody shrubs or native woody seed mix to substitute for tree species as long as these treatments
245 do not exceed 33 percent of the overall seedling planting area. The number of a single species may not
246 exceed 10 percent of the overall number of trees or shrubs planted to meet the provisions of this
247 subsection.
248 O. The following process shall be used to demonstrate achievement of the required percentage of tree
249 canopy listed in subsection C:
250 1. The site plan shall graphically delineate the edges of predevelopment tree canopy, the proposed
251 limits of disturbance on grading or erosion and sedimentation control plans, and the location of tree N
252 protective fencing or other tree protective devices allowed in the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control O
253 Handbook.
254 2. Site plans proposing modification to tree canopy requirements or claiming supplemental tree ei
255 canopy credits will require a text narrative.
256 3. The site plan shall include the 20-year tree canopy calculations on a worksheet provided by the
257 locality.
258 4. Site plans requiring tree planting shall provide a planting schedule that provides botanical and 1 1
259 common names of trees, the number of trees being planted, the total of tree canopy area given to each
260 species, variety or cultivars planted, total of tree canopy area that will be provided by all trees, planting
261 sizes, and associated planting specifications. The site plan will also provide a landscape plan that
262 delineates where the trees shall be planted.
263 P. The ordinance shall provide a list of commercially available tree species, varieties, and cultivars
264 that are capable of thriving in the locality's climate and ranges of planting environments. The ordinance
265 will also provide a 20-year tree canopy area credit for each tree. The amount of tree canopy area
266 credited to individual tree species, varieties, and cultivars 20 years after they are planted shall be based

269 accurate for the growing conditions and climate of the locality.
270 Q. The ordinance shall establish standards of health and structural condition of existing trees and i,,
271 associated plant communities to be preserved. The ordinance may also identify standards for removal of
272 trees or portions of trees that are dead, dying, or hazardous due to construction impacts. Such removal N
273 standards may allow for the retention of trunk snags where the locality determines that these may
274 provide habitat or other wildlife benefits and do not represent a hazardous condition. In the event that
275 existing tree canopy proposed to be preserved for tree canopy credits dies or must be removed because
276 it represents a hazard, the locality may require the developer to remove the tree, or a portion of the tree
277 and to replace the missing canopy area by the planting of nursery stock trees, or if a viable alternative,
278 by tree seedlings. Existing trees that have been granted credits will be replaced with canopy area
279 determined using the same supplemental credit multipliers as originally granted for that canopy area.
280 R. Penalties for violation of ordinances adopted pursuant to this section shall be the same as those
281 applicable to violations of zoning ordinances of the locality.
282 S. In ne event shall any A local tree conservation ordinance adopted pursuant to this section may
283 exceed the requirements set forth herein; however, any (i) in any development project located in a
284 Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area; (ii) in any development project located in an area that prior to the
285 passage of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq., was redlined or graded "D"
286 by the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation; and (iii) to ensure conformity with the locality's
287 comprehensive plan duly adopted pursuant to §§ 15.2-2223 through 15.2-2226. Any local ordinance
288 adopted pursuant to the provisions of § 15.2-961 prior to July 1, 1990, may adopt the tree conservation
289 provisions of this section based on 10-year minimum tree canopy requirements.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: A Resolution to Approve a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and
the Virginia Port Authority for Placement of Sand
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
e Background: On September 22, 2020, a staff briefing was made to City Council
detailing an opportunity to obtain sand for beach nourishment from the Norfolk Harbor&
Channels Deepening project. The Thimble Shoals channel phase of the project planned
to start in late 2021 could provide approximately 600,000 cubic yards of sand for the City's
bayfront beaches at a substantial cost savings. The City would pay the cost difference
between open ocean disposal and the cost to place sand on the beach.
e Considerations: The attached resolution provides the City Council's approval of
the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Virginia Port
Authority. The City's role will include obtaining beach nourishment permits and the
provision of the funding required to place the dredged sediment upon the City's beaches.
The City's funding obligations in the MOU would be capped as amounts appropriated by
the City Council. The current amount appropriated is $6,356,088, and if the amounts
planned for FY2022 are appropriated, that maximum amount would not exceed
$8,900,000.
e Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
e Recommendations: Adopt the attached resolution.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Extending the Date for Satisfying the Conditions in the Matter of
Closing an Unimproved Right-of-Way Adjacent to 770 Woodstock Road
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
On January 21, 2020, by Ordinance ORD-3611C, City Council approved the
request by Hannah and Hamilton Gubanc (collectively, the "Applicant") to close
approximately 2,176 sq. ft. of an unimproved right-of-way (the "Right-of-Way"),
adjacent to their property at 770 Woodstock Road.
• Considerations:
There were five (5) conditions to the approval of the street closure:
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding
ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City
shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's
Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
2. The Applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcel. The Resubdivision
Plat must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street
closure approval. Said Plat must include the dedication to the City of a 30-
foot wide public utility easement along the entire northern boundary of the
Applicant's property, subject to the approval of the Department of Public
Utilities and the City Attorney's Office, which easement shall include a
right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicant shall determine if a private water line for the benefit of Lot
10A-2 (as shown on Map Book 234, page 24) is located within the Right-
of-Way. Should a private water line exist, the Applicant shall establish a
private water line easement of a suitable size for the benefit of Lot 10A-2.
4. The Applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the Right-of-
Way. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility
company must be provided.
5. Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not
approved within one year of the City Council approval, said approval shall
be considered null and void.
The Applicant has submitted a subdivision plat to the Planning Department for
review, however, the plat will not be in final form and ready to record prior to the
deadline to meet the conditions. On January 5, 2021, the Applicant requested
additional time to satisfy the conditions set forth in Ordinance ORD-3611 C. Staff
concludes that the request for additional time is reasonable.
• Recommendations:
Allow an extension of one (1) year for satisfaction of the conditions.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: A Resolution Declaring the Proposed Location of Westview Apartments to be a
Revitalization Area in Order to Qualify for Virginia Housing Financing
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background: Virginia Housing (the state housing finance agency formerly
known as VHDA) provides lower-cost financing for housing developments that provide
affordable and mixed-income housing that serves varying populations within the same
development. The Franklin-Johnston Group has proposed to develop Westview
Apartments, made up of 220 units of housing, including 128 affordable units at various
rent levels, on property located at 925 S. Military Highway (see attached Exhibit A). In
order to qualify for the financing, they are asking the City Council to approve the
attached resolution, which is required by State law before such financing can be
provided.
• Considerations: The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
believes there are benefits to the City from increased private enterprise and investment
in the proposed location of the revitalization zone, including the creation of new
affordable housing. Accordingly, the staff supports the efforts for this project to obtain
this financing.
The proposed project was approved for a conditional change of zoning by the City
Council at its meeting on January 5th. Additionally, the project has been found to be
consistent with the plan for the Suburban Focus Area 8 — Military Highway.
If the project goes forward, some of the units would be eligible for federal housing
choice vouchers and other funding administered by the Department of Housing and
Neighborhood Preservation.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $8,420,000 from the Fund Balance of the General
Fund and to Authorize a Grant to the United Way of South Hampton Roads for
Emergency Assistance
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
■ Background: On September 22, 2020, the City Council expressed a desire to
partner with non-profit organizations that provide emergency assistance and relief to City
residents and businesses. Specifically, the Council identified small business assistance,
workforce development, individual financial assistance, and food support as areas of
specific interest. Since then, the City has partnered with the United Way of South
Hampton Roads, and on October 20th, the City Council appropriated $8 million to provide
a grant to the United Way to fund these efforts.
The United Way, in partnership with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC)
Hampton Roads, the Hampton Roads Workforce Council, and the Foodbank of
Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore have launched a successful relief effort. To
date they have received over 2,800 individual requests for assistance. They have referred
1,085 individuals to the Foodbank and 680 individuals to the Workforce Council. In
addition, LISC has received 416 eligible applications for small business grants. To date,
demand has exceeded initial estimates for individuals in need of financial assistance and
businesses in need of assistance. The $2 million allocated to each of these areas of need
are fully obligated based on applications to date.
The United Way is requesting an additional grant in the amount of$8,420,000 to continue
relief efforts. Of this amount, $2,420,000 would be directed towards LISC to provide an
additional 242 small business grants. The $6,000,000 would be used for direct financial
assistance and food support for families. The United Way of South Hampton Roads
provided an update to the City Council on January 12, 2020 with additional information
about this request.
• Considerations: The United Way has used previously provided funds from the
City to provide financial assistance to families and businesses. This request continues
that partnership with the local nonprofit community to provide assistance using funds
reserved by the City Council for pandemic relief.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process. This request was
briefed to the City Council at its Workshop on January 12, 2020, which is streamed by

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $1 ,500,000 from the Fund Balance of the General
Fund for a Virginia Beach Vaccination Initiative
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background: The City is partnering with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH)
to support vaccinations in our community. As proposed, the VDH will provide the vaccines
and staff support, and the City will provide facilities, staff, and other resources. The
prioritization of recipients for the vaccines is provided by the VDH. The first priority
includes health care workers. The timeline for distribution of the vaccine is based upon
availability. An incident management team has been assembled to coordinate the effort,
which is estimated to be ongoing through November 2021 .
The VDH needs assistance from the City to help with the coordination and distribution of
vaccines. Although a need is known, an exact amount and for what specific purpose is
not fully known at this point in time. For this reason, $1.5 million is requested to be
appropriated and placed into a City Manager dedicated reserve for the Virginia Beach
vaccination initiative. Appropriation of these funds into a dedicated reserve will allow the
City Manager or his designee flexibility to address emergency needs identified during the
vaccination process. Any use of this reserve will be reported to City Council for the
purpose in which it was used.
• Considerations: The source of funding for this request is the fund balance of the
General Fund, specifically the amounts set aside for pandemic relief. The City staff will
review and pursue opportunities for repayment of eligible expenses through state and
federal programs. If this request is approved, the funds will be placed in a dedicated
reserve for vaccinations. This funding request is needed for activities through June 30,
2021. If there is a need to continue the Vaccinate Virginia Beach Initiative into Fiscal
Year 2021-22, a new appropriation will be required.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process. This initiative was the
subject of an Informal Session brief provided to the City Council on January 5, 2021 .

Change of Zoning (A-18, A-24 Apartment Districts & R-7.5, R-10 Residential
Districts to Conditional PD-H2 Planned Unit Development(R-7.5 Residential,
A-24 & A-36 Apartment Districts) for the properties located at 2352, 2348 &
4701 Windway Lane; 4753 Birdsong Lane; 2324 & 2336 Pleasure House
Road (GPINs 1479498223, 1479592736, 1479590821, 1479499651,
1479592334, 1479582958, 1479498478). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant seeks a Conditional Rezoning for the redevelopment of an existing
apartment complex from A-18 and A-24 Apartment Districts and R-7.5 and R-10
Residential Districts to Conditional PD-H2 Planned Unit Development (R-7.5
Residential, A-24 & A-36 Apartment Districts). The 14.67-acre site, comprised of
the existing Windsong Apartments and one single-family dwelling, contains seven
parcels and has frontage along Pleasure House Road, Northampton Boulevard,
Powells Point Road, and Greenwell Road.
There are currently 272 multi-family dwelling units in the Windsong Apartment
complex that were developed in the late 1970s. The overall proposal includes the
renovation of 13 existing, two-story apartment buildings (216 units); the demolition
of three multi-family buildings (56 units); and the new construction of a three-story
and two, four-story apartment buildings totaling 195 units. In total, the
redevelopment will contain 411 dwelling units, a net increase of 139 units, and
result an overall density of 28.02 units/acre. The proposed density for the A-24
zoning district is 23.90 units per acre and the proposed density for the A-36 zoning
district is 35.94 units per acre. The existing single-family dwelling will remain, as
depicted on the proffered plan. The minimum setback along both the Pleasure
House Road and Northampton Boulevard rights-of-way is 30 feet. The proffered
exhibit depicts a setback of five feet along Pleasure House Road at the closest
point, and a 10 foot setback along Northampton Boulevard. The Land Use Plan
provided with the PD-H2 zoning permits these modifications to the minimum
setback.
The proffered elevations of the new structures depict coastal-inspired architecture,
which will feature a neutral and earth-tone color palette with fiberglass shingles,
cement lap siding, shingle siding and trim, brick veneer, and vinyl windows. The
existing two-story apartment buildings to remain will be renovated and exteriors
Collier & Associates, LP
Page 2 of 4
upgraded to complement the architecture of the new buildings. The exterior
upgrades include the installation of fiberglass shingles, fiber cement siding, and
vinyl windows. The brick exteriors will be painted to reflect the color pallet and
architectural style of the new buildings.
The applicant is also proffering onsite stormwater detention 10,000 cubic feet
above and beyond what would normally be required through the site plan review
process.
• Considerations:
The proposed buildings will be compatible in use and context with the character of
the surrounding community and will enhance the visual aesthetic of the site. The
coastal-inspired architecture of the new buildings will have facades articulated to
provide visual interest and aid in reducing the scale of the building with the taller
buildings adjacent to Northampton Boulevard. Parking lots are split between the
sides and rear of the buildings, whenever possible, to break up the expanse of
paved areas.
As the original development of the apartment complex predated the adoption and
implementation of stormwater management requirements, there is no existing
stormwater detention or treatment on-site. To meet the current stormwater quality
and quantity requirements, underground stormwater storage and manufactured
treatment devices are proposed in order to capture, treat and detain stormwater
runoff before it leaves the site. This reduction in the flow of stormwater leaving this
site will therefore provide a benefit to the downstream lakes. Based on citizen
input, and as proffered, the applicant will be providing an additional 10,000 cubic
feet of stormwater detainment above code requirements.
While a Traffic Impact Study was not warranted as the threshold for such a study
requires an excess of 150 vehicular trips in the peak hour, the applicant provided
a Traffic Analysis. The Traffic Analysis indicates that the vehicular access point
on Pleasure House Road will function adequately as a stop-controlled intersection
and will not negatively affect traffic flow on Pleasure House Road. The Traffic
Analysis also concluded that the addition of 139 apartments will not have a
significant effect on the operations of the traffic signal at the Pleasure House Road
and Shore Drive intersection. While the intersection operates over capacity at a
Level of Service "E" in the evening peak hour, the additional apartment units will
not result in a significant increase in vehicle delay or queueing.
Based on the 411 units proposed, 732 parking spaces are required as per the
Zoning Ordinance. The submitted concept plan depicts 695 parking spaces
(including 30 carport spaces), and as such, is 37 parking spaces shy of meeting
the minimum requirement. Based on the Parking Study provided by the applicant,
after the renovation, 565 of the 695 parking spaces will be unoccupied after 10:00
pm. Additionally, similar apartment complexes developed and operated by the
applicant throughout the Hampton Roads area are operating very satisfactorily with
Collier & Associates, LP
Page 3of4
a parking ratio between 1.03 to 1.22 spaces per unit. The Land Use Plan provided
with a PD-H2 zoning allows an adjusted parking requirement, and in this case, it
is proposed at 1 .69 spaces per unit, which is far greater than the ratio of number
of units to parking spaces in any of the five complexes included in the analysis.
It is the applicant's intent to preserve as many of the mature trees on site as
possible. Extensive plantings are proposed at the buildings' foundations,
particularly along the street frontages. These plantings will be supplemented by
the required parking lot interior plantings. A total of 15.1% of the site will be retained
in open space, thereby meeting the Zoning Ordinance requirement of 15% for a
PD-H2 development. The amenities within the open space areas include an
outdoor swimming pool, courtyard, a children's playground, and a dog park.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report.
The applicant met with and discussed the details of the request with the Bayfront
Advisory Commission on February 21 , 2019 and September 19, 2019. According
to the applicant, a number of meetings with the community were held beginning in
January 2019. These meetings included the following: the Chesapeake Beach
Civic League on March 18, 2019; the Shore Drive Community Coalition on April
29, 2019; residents of the Thoroughgood Colony on August 18, 2020; and an open
meeting with the community at Morning Star Baptist Church on December 2, 2019.
Also, the applicant indicated that they conducted outreach to individuals and
business owners who own property in the vicinity of the site which included periodic
email updates. Staff did receive 14 letters of support and 11 letters of opposition
that were all provided to the Planning Commission. There were six speakers in
support and 11 speakers in opposition at the Planning Commission public hearing.
Opposition correspondence and comments at the public hearing noted concerns
related to traffic, stormwater, schools, property values, displacement of residents,
continued expansion of number of units, legality of proposed zoning, and density.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant seeks a Conditional Rezoning of the subject properties from A-18 and A-24 Apartment Districts
and R-7.5 and R-10 Residential Districts to Conditional PD-H2 Planned Unit Development(R-7.5 Residential,A-24
&A-36 Apartment Districts). The 14.67-acre site,comprised of the existing Windsong Apartments and one
single-family dwelling,contains seven parcels and has frontage along Pleasure House Road, Northampton
Boulevard, Powells Point Road,and Greenwell Road.
• There are currently 272 multi-family dwelling units in the Windsong Apartment complex that were developed in
the late 1970s.The overall proposal includes the renovation of 13 existing,two-story apartment buildings(216
units);the demolition of three multi-family buildings (56 units); and the new construction of a three-story and
two,four-story apartment buildings totaling 195 units. In total,the redevelopment will contain 411 dwelling
units,a net increase of 139 units, and result an overall density of 28.02 units/acre.The proposed density for the
A-24 zoning district is 23.90 units per acre and the proposed density for the A-36 zoning district is 35.94 units
per acre.The existing single-family dwelling will remain,as depicted on the proffered plan.
• As depicted on the proffered plan,vehicular access is limited to two points along Pleasure House Road. No
vehicular access is proposed or will be permitted along Northampton Boulevard, Powells Point Road,or
Greenwell Road.
• The proffered elevations of the new structures depict coastal-inspired architecture,which will feature a neutral
and earth-tone color palette with fiberglass shingles,cement lap siding,shingle siding and trim, brick veneer,
and vinyl windows.
• The proposed three-story apartment building will be located at the main entrance into the complex along
Pleasure House Road. The design includes projections and recesses along the facades to reduce the scale of the
buildings and a tower element is also proposed for visual interest.
• The proposed four-story apartment buildings will be located along Northampton Boulevard, placing the taller
buildings away from Pleasure House Road.Similar to the three-story buildings,the four-story buildings'facades
include articulations of recesses and projections to reduce scale and provide visual interest.
• Existing two-story apartment buildings to remain will be renovated and exteriors upgraded to complement the
architecture of the new buildings.The exterior upgrades include the installation of fiberglass shingles,fiber
cement siding,and vinyl windows.The brick exteriors will be painted to reflect the color pallet and architectural
style of the new buildings.
• The proffered concept plan depicts 695 parking spaces. Parking lots are split between the sides and rear of the
buildings,whenever possible,to break up the expanse of paved areas. Pedestrian pathways will be provided to
ensure improved connectivity throughout the development.
• Where possible,existing mature trees will be preserved, particularly along the eastern edge of the property
adjacent to Northampton Boulevard,the adjacent single-family neighborhoods to the north and south,and
along Pleasure House Road to the west. Additional plantings adjacent to the residentially-zoned properties are
depicted on the proffered plan along with the required foundation plantings, parking lot interior plantings, and
enhanced street frontage plantings.The proposed landscaping depicted on the proffered Concept Site Plan
appears to meet the landscaping requirements; however,a more detailed review of all screening and planting
requirements will occur during final site plan review.

• As the original development of the apartment complex predated the adoption and implementation of
stormwater management requirements,there is no existing stormwater detention or treatment on-site. All
requirements for stormwater quality and quantity as mandated in the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Design
Manual are planned to be met by the installation of underground stormwater storage and manufactured
treatment devices.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The proposed Conditional Rezoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's goals for the Suburban Area
Bayfront Community that include the preservation and protection of the character, economic value, and aesthetic
quality of established neighborhoods. The high-quality architectural design and building materials proposed are
consistent with these goals.The proposed buildings will be compatible in use and context with the character of the
surrounding community and will enhance the visual aesthetic of the site. The coastal-inspired architecture of the new
buildings will have facades articulated to provide visual interest and aid in reducing the scale of the building. Overall,the
project's design is in conformance with the Shore Drive Corridor Plan recommendations for preserving and protecting
the character of the established neighborhoods, redevelopment of the corridor with an attractive residential community
and enhancing the economic vitality.
The proffered concept plan depicts a 10-foot building setback along Northampton Boulevard and a five-foot building
setback after the right-of-way dedication along Pleasure House Road. Both reduced setbacks are noted in the Land Use
Plan identified in proffer 6 below. The reduced setback along Northampton Boulevard Staff believes to be warranted as
there will be no vehicular access from Northampton Boulevard and there is an existing landscape buffer to aid in
screening the new buildings. While less than ideal, Staff does support the 25-foot reduction of the required 30-foot
building setback along Pleasure House Road. While the proposed building will be approximately 28 feet setback from
the edge of pavement of Pleasure House Road,an imminent Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project along this
portion of the right-of-way results in the applicant dedicating property to accommodate the planned improvements that
will benefit surrounding property owners. These improvements include the installation of new curb and gutter, drainage
improvements, bikeway accommodations, and a new five-foot wide sidewalk. This CIP is fully funded and scheduled to
start construction in 2024. With the improvements proposed in this CIP,the building will be five feet from right-of-way
Collier&Associates, LP
Agenda Item 7
Page 3
at its closest point. Based in this,Staff recommended to the applicant that the building be relocated to allow for
additional separation of at least 20 feet from the public sidewalk and/or bike lane; however,the applicant was unwilling
to modify this portion of the plan. According to the applicant,the building is located within five feet of the ultimate
right-of-way in order to provide ample parking and drive aisles as well as sufficient open space areas.
The primary vehicular entrance is relocated north along Pleasure House Road with a secondary entrance provided for
emergency access only.As mentioned above,the development does not have direct vehicular access to Northampton
Boulevard, Powells Point Road,or Greenwell Road.To address concerns raised regarding the potential for negative
traffic impacts as a result of the proposal,the applicant submitted a Traffic Analysis. While a Traffic Impact Study was
not warranted as the threshold for such a study requires an excess of 150 vehicular trips in the peak hour,the applicant
provided a Traffic Analysis. The Traffic Analysis indicates that the vehicular access point on Pleasure House Road will
function adequately as a stop-controlled intersection and will not negatively affect traffic flow on Pleasure House Road.
The Traffic Analysis also concluded that the addition of 139 apartments will not have a significant effect on the
operations of the traffic signal at the Pleasure House Road and Shore Drive intersection. While the intersection operates
over capacity at a Level of Service"E" in the evening peak hour,the additional apartment units will not result in a
significant increase in vehicle delay or queueing. Traffic Engineering Staff reviewed the analysis and concur with the
findings.
It is the applicant's intent to preserve as many of the mature trees on site as possible.The trees along the eastern edge
of the property will help screen the busy Northampton Boulevard from the new units. The trees adjacent to the single
and multi-family dwellings to the north and south and also along Pleasure House Road will continue to provide aesthetic
relief to the built environment as well as immeasurable value to both the future residents of the apartment complex and
the surrounding properties. Extensive plantings are proposed at the buildings'foundations, particularly along the street
frontages.These plantings will be supplemented by the required parking lot interior plantings.As is typical in this phase
of plan review,specific plant species have not yet been selected.A total of 15.1%of the site will be retained in open
space,thereby meeting the Zoning Ordinance requirement of 15%for a PD-H2 development.The amenities for the
proposed development include an outdoor swimming pool,courtyard,a children's playground, and a dog park.
Based on the 411 units proposed,732 parking spaces are required as per the Zoning Ordinance.The submitted concept
plan depicts 695 parking spaces (including 30 carport spaces),and as such, is 37 parking spaces shy of meeting the
minimum requirement. Based on the Parking Study provided by the applicant,only 318 of the 506 existing parking
spaces are anticipated to be occupied and after the redevelopment,approximately 130 parking spaces are anticipated to
be unoccupied after 10:00 p.m. Additionally,similar apartment complexes developed and operated by the applicant
throughout the Hampton Roads area are operating very satisfactorily with a parking ratio between 1.03 to 1.22 space
per unit.The number of parking spaces is proffered at a parking ratio of 1.69 spaces per unit,which is far greater than
the ratio of number of units to parking spaces in any of the five complexes included in the analysis. The proposal to set
the PD-H2 parking requirement to a ratio of 1.69 spaces per unit is deemed acceptable.
As the property was originally developed prior to the adoption of stormwater management regulations,there is no
existing provision for stormwater detention or treatment.Approximately half of the site's stormwater runoff drains to
the municipal storm sewer in Pleasure House Road and the remaining portion drains to a culvert under Northampton
Boulevard,all of which does so untreated.To meet the current stormwater quality and quantity requirements,
underground stormwater storage and manufactured treatment devices are proposed in order to capture,treat and
detain stormwater runoff before it leaves the site. This reduction in the flow of stormwater leaving this site will
therefore provide a benefit to the downstream lakes. Based on citizen input,and as proffered,the applicant will be
providing an additional 10,000 cubic feet of storage above code requirements.Additional details regarding stormwater
management for the project can be found beginning on page 8 of this report.
With respect to school impacts,Virginia Beach City of Public Schools Staff finds that the number of students generated
by the development can be accommodated within the school buildings for their respective grade and attendance
zone. The schools are all currently within an acceptable utilization range of+/-10%of optimum capacity.
Collier&Associates, LP
Agenda Item 7
Page 4
In summary, Staff finds the request consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's vision for the Suburban Area Bayfront
Community as outlined above. The proposed redevelopment features coastal-inspired architecture,the preservation of
existing mature vegetation, and landscape enhancements to ensure a reasonable relationship to the surrounding
residential neighborhood.Traffic is not expected to adversely impact adjacent roadways and intersections,stormwater
management will be significantly enhanced, and the public schools are capable of accommodating future students from
the apartments. While the reduced setback along Pleasure House Road is of concern, it is a result of the dedication of
the applicant's property in order to accommodate the imminent right-of-way improvements planned with Capital
Improvement Program that is scheduled to begin in 2024. The articulations on the building's west façade along with the
planned streetscape plantings will aid in ameliorating the distance between the dwelling units and the public realm. The
significant additional stormwater storage capacity above the minimum makes the existing site more resilient to future
storms. Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this Conditional Rezoning request subject to
the submitted proffers below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as part of the Suburban Area Bayfront Community, adjacent to
the Shore Drive Corridor Suburban Focus Area(SFA). This area is characterized by many well-established
neighborhoods, newer high-density residential development, neighborhood and resort commercial uses, significant
parks and open spaces,and proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and Lynnhaven River. The Shore Drive Corridor is an
integral part of the Bayfront Community,extending from North Independence Boulevard to First Landing State Park.
While primarily a residential community,the corridor shares the responsibility of being one of Virginia Beach's primary
east-west connectors.The area is considered a resort neighborhood and not a resort destination. While it is the most
densely populated area of the City, it is primarily a neighborhood residential area.The general planning goals and
policies in the Comprehensive Plan include preserving and protecting the character,economic value, and aesthetic
quality of the established neighborhoods,while also achieving the lowest reasonable density for future residential uses.

and redevelopment of the corridor as an attractive residential community;and making improvements to current
conditions in the corridor by strategically targeting limited financial resources.

Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Summary
The subject property currently does not have any stormwater detention or treatment in place. Approximately half of
the site runoff drains to the municipal storm sewer in Pleasure House Road and the remaining portion drains to a culvert
under Northampton Boulevard.
The applicant obtained the Virginia Beach Stormwater Model for both Lake Bradford and Lake Joyce and evaluated it to
verify the downstream conditions for a proposed Stormwater solution. Geotechnical investigations were conducted to
identify groundwater considerations. The project intends to meet all requirements for stormwater quality and quantity
as mandated in the Code of Virginia 9VAC25-840-40 and the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Design Manual.To meet
those requirements, underground stormwater storage and manufactured treatment devices will be provided to both
treat and restrict stormwater runoff before it leaves the site. Based on citizen input, and as proffered,the applicant will
be providing an additional 10,000 cubic feet of storage above code requirements. The applicant anticipates that
improvements from this project will reduce the flow of stormwater leaving this site and will therefore provide a benefit
to the downstream lakes.
School Impacts
School Current Enrollment Capacity Generation Change 2
Hermitage Elementary 619 662 41 14
Great Neck Middle 1,106 1,330 17 6

December 9, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL — HEARD
Ms. Dozier: Item number seven is a Conditional Rezoning located at addresses 2352,
2348, and 4701 Windway lane, 4753 Birdsong Lane, 2336 and 2324
Pleasure House Road. Is the applicant present?
Mr. Nutter: Yes, thank you. For the record. Yes, thank you very much. My name is
R.J. Nutter . I am an attorney and I represent Collier and Associates for the
Windsong Apartment expansion. It is a pleasure to be here and I thank you
very much. Just I want to echo everything Mr. Bourdon said about your
service Dee, and certainly Mr. Weiner as Vice Chair and certainly about
your comments regarding Bob Miller. So, I look forward to next year, all of
you will be here, and but we truly miss our good friend Bob. There is no
question. So, anyway, let me begin by telling you about this application it
is for Windsong Apartments. There are 272 units there today. It was built
in the mid-70s, mid-late 70s, it is been pretty well maintained to be honest
with you and they had a good record, their occupancy rate, it is about 95%
in most cases. They do, however, suffer from a very, very high turnover
rate between 60 and 70% per year, which means there are constantly
people coming in and out of that apartment complex for any number of
reasons, some cases they are military, they are reassigned. In other cases,
they just want to move to a better place than this because the units are
older, they do not have central air, they have very few amenities and have
one swimming pool. And, they are very small, they do not have unit, washer
dryers in their units. So, those kind of things would become norm in the
industry, and they do not exist at that location. So, my client, Bonaventure
also came into picture and said, we think we could find a way to redo those
apartments, bring them into the next century, make them economically
viable, and have them viable for the next 30 years. So, do that they are
1
zoning the property in part to A-36 and in part to A-24, it is about 15-acre
parcel, little over five acres is being zoned to A-36 in the rear, and the
balance of the property is being zoned about 9 acres is being zoned to be
A-24, which is the majority of the site. I want to thank Mr. Tajan for allowing
us to do that he was not keen on that idea. But, we want to show the
neighborhood that the A-36 would be restricted to the rear of the property.
But the balance of the property in the largest part would be A-24, not A-36.
So, a couple things I want to point out to you that are not really in Staffs
write up, although I will commend you Staff's write up is outstanding. They
looked at every single issue in this case, it is a lengthy review and it is a
very thorough review. And, we are happy to have their recommendation.
But, a couple things they did not report only because we made changes
since we filed this application almost two years ago. And, I want to point
those out for you. The first thing we were asked to do is reduce the density
on this application than we had originally filed at 435 units and we have
reduced it to 411 about a 13% reduction in the density. We were asked to
look at reducing the number of three bedroom units in the complex and we
reduced those by 25%. We were asked to again to split the zoning, which
we have done, as I indicated. We also you do not see it from this picture,
but the L-shaped building at the beginning used to go the length of it on
Pleasure House use to run all the way down to where that single family
home is. And, the Civic League said that is too long a structure on Pleasure
House, we would like you to reduce the size of that. So, my client agreed
and took off about 140 feet of that facility. Only enough to the cover where
the internal amenities are for the pool and the outdoor activities they have
inside a complex. And, that in turn let them allow for greater open space on
Pleasure House and it allowed to keep the single family property that you
see the single family home there, that they had attended to purchase to
make a part of the complex. Now that will be developed just as it is a single
family home, it is zoned R-7.5 and it will stay R-7.5 with a PD-H2 overlay.
So, in addition to that we restricted access on the adjacent streets Powells
Point to the left, Greenwell to the right and of course, there is no access on
north end of Boulevard. We were asked to look at that by Civic League
members of that access way to Northampton Boulevard. And, we were told
very flatly no by both Chesapeake Bay Tunnel Authority as well as the City
of Virginia Beach. So, I just wanted to know those things because we have
had a lot of movement on my client's behalf to try to address those issues.
So, for that we sent it out this just to have three new buildings. The one up
on Pleasure Houses is three stories, although the entranceway is a one-
and-a-half story feature, we tried to step up the building. We thought the
2
mass was perfect by reducing the size as they requested. We have gone
with a coastal inspired architecture, just like the Shore Drive Advisory
Design Guidelines require. In fact,we gave Staff a 12-page line-by-line item
of why we comply with every single component of the Shore Drive Design
Guidelines as part of this. But, the nice part for the public is that these units
of all top rate materials, have all the greatest amenities and like you expect,
you are going to have a gym, you are going to have an infinity pool, you are
going to have lounge areas both inside and out of the facility,fire pits, bocce
ball courts, all of the type things that people insist upon in the complexes
that are being built today. As for the existing units, the significant changes
are being made to those as well. Those units are being completely re-faced,
brand new roofs, new central air, all new kitchens. But, in addition to that
those units, they have no balconies and no patios. So, there is no outside
capability, if you look at the building the bottom, right now they are having
is Juliet balconies on the front and patios in the rear. We are also recessing
the access ways because when you come into the building, today, you are
in the rain there is no cover for you whatsoever, for recessing those access
ways since you have covered entrance into the buildings. The total capital
investment here is just over$40 million. That is frankly in excess of what a
typically cost to build a brand new apartment complex. But, it will give you
the level of quality and investment that is being invested here. So, I look at
a couple things, I would like to talk about one of the benefits that we see in
any redevelopment today and we are seeing this all over the City. And, that
is one of the benefits is stormwater. The currently this site has no
stormwater criteria whatsoever, nothing. If sheet flow off the property into
the lakes. So, our engineers found old model that the City gave us at the
time that, that looks at the lake have the impact on the lakes and off site.
And, we are not only going to be completing the storm water system that
makes us required by law, reduced by about 20% from what existing
conditions are. Our client agreed to go over and above that and they asked
the engineers to come up with an approximation of how can they increase
that by about 50%. That works out to them holding additional water on site
above city requirements about another 10,000 cubic feet of water. So, in
addition to your new requirements, we are going well above that by this
additional area, it is a significant impact. From a traffic perspective, we
performed a traffic study even though one was not required and I will read
from the report very briefly, just says that project will not negatively affect
traffic flow on Pleasure House and will have no significant impact on the
intersection. And, that is after a considerable amount of study by both us
and your City Planning Department and Traffic Engineering Department.
3
One other thing we have heard in one of our meetings with residents and
citizens was that there was concern that we might be raising the rents too
high and that would chase out some of the residents who live there today.
So, this is something unheard of and I have been doing this for a long time,
but Bonaventure agreed to set up a fund of $200,000 to assist residents in
relocation or in as the rents go up to help them pay for the rent. They did
not stop there, they went to Catholic Charities, who you are going to hear
from in just a minute. Catholic Charities stepped in and agreed to match
that amount of money with in-kind services to the residents and those
services have already begun today to those residents. In fact, we hold
weekly job meetings, job fairs, we hold weekly resume sessions. We also
hold meetings we are taking the residents by bus to other Bonaventure
facility so they can see what they are like and we have had Civic League
Members attend those as well. And, we have had a large amount of
outreach I am happy to tell you. And, while we have had Civic League
Meetings and so forth and I know there is an opposition from the Civic
League. We have, however, been very cautious about reaching out to
people who are really the most affected by this. If you see, it is top of that
where Bay Wind Court is, just the top of right in there. The development
just above that you see a sort of L-shaped piece right there. There is like
16 single family detached units called Tranquillity by the Bay. We have met
with them twice now, they are immediately affected by this. The entire Civic
League is in favor of this, not one person in opposition. And, unfortunately,
Jordan Heppenstreet, who is the President, who many of you may have
seen in the video could not be here, he is out of town, but his entire Civic
League is in support of this. We also went down the other end of Greenwell
Road and we have met with a large number of the residents on Greenwell
Road, actually I met 11 or 12 of them. And those 11 and 12 have been
thankful. We need some improvement over there. We are thankful we were
not cutting through the Greenwell to be honest with you. They were also
thankful that we were making the improvements that we were the property.
And, finally we met with most recently Dadson Court at their Dadson Arms
Apartments. They are located just to the north of Greenwell Road, I do not
know if you can see that, I met with him and I am happy to have their support
as well. I know a lot of information to pass along to you in a short period of
time, but I am happy to answer any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions for Mr. Nutter? Yes, Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Will any residents be displaced during the renovation.
4
Mr. Nutter: There will be, what we will be doing during renovation is, first of all give
everybody notice and letting them know which buildings are coming first,
we will be taking out one building, right the beginning by having all the short-
term, we will take the building where people have moved out and move the
people from that building into that building while it is being renewed. We do
follow that pattern, if you will, and in some cases they chose to move and
some cases buy a home. And, so, those funds are available to help them
do that if they wish.
Ms. Klein: But, the residents who will be displaced they will receive that assistance
relocating to a different building.
Mr. Nutter: Yes. Even if they want to relocate to another apartment complex, we will
help you pay their moving fees. Catholic Charities will tell you more about
it. They've been wonderful. But yes, Madam, it is very important to us.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have any more questions for Mr. Nutter. No. Alright. Thank you.
Mr. Nutter: Thank you, Madam Chair. I will standby.
Ms. Oliver: Please do.
Ms. Dozier: We have another speaker.
Ms. Oliver: Will you call for the first speakers.
Ms. Dozier: Okay. Thank you. Andrew Bon.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, please state your name for the record.
Mr. Bon: Andy Bon. Madam Chairman and Members of the Commission, thank you
for allowing us to speak. I live at 2711 Poinciana Drive in Virginia Beach. I
am a member of the Cape Story Civic Association and I am active with the
Shore Drive Community Coalition. I was also the Chairman of the Planning
Commission in the town that I used to live in. So, I have been seated where
you are and was confronted by issues that are similar to the ones that you
confront. And, one of the factors that I thought it was important is in
environmental factors. And, right now on the property, there is no
stormwater provision at all and so the new plan will retain more water,which
5
will prevent and minimize pollution runoff and flow into Lake James and
Lake Bradford. So, I am in favor for that reason. The project is just down
the street for me. So, we are neighbors, and so I am grateful for your taking
the time. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Bon. Do we have any questions? All right, thank you very
much.
Ms. Dozier: Harry Sellers.
Ms. Dozier: Madam Chair as this person approaches I thought I would go ahead and
give you a heads up that we have 18 additional speakers.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Sellers: Good afternoon.
Ms. Oliver: If you will state your name for the record, please, Mr. Sellers.
Mr. Sellers: Harry Sellers. So, I am here today just, I am for this and see the changes
that they are doing. I live in the Ocean Lakes,which is couple neighborhood
away from here, saw all the improvements that they are doing on this
property, was excited about it because I actually want to move into this
property when it is finished. It needs many improvements, what I believe
and I think it is a good thing for the area, it is going to raise the area, keep
Chicks Beach, I guess area being very successful and upper class. So, I
just want to come in and say that I am definitely for this. Thank you very
much for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you for yours.
Ms. Dozier: Connie Meyer.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Ms. Meyer: Thank you, Madam Chair and Members of the committee for allowing me
to speak today. My name is Connie Meyer, and my husband and I own two
businesses. One is Meyer Group Insurance, we do employee benefits for
businesses. And, the other is Hampton Roads Weekly, which is a new
community paper. And, one thing that we are constantly asked for by the
6
owners and the employees of the businesses we represent is more and
lovely housing. And, I have been to Bonaventure Properties in Chesapeake
and in Norfolk. And, they do not just build a building they build a sense of
community. And, I think our homes and communities are even more
important at this time,with COVID. And, unfortunately this existing property,
much like I feel when I wake up in the morning sometimes is perhaps a little
bit old and a little bit long in the tooth. So, the idea that these new innovative
buildings will have resort amenities, they will have special facilities that
would enable somebody in a wheelchair to be able to live there, that does
not exist now. That AC and the HVAC again, the newness of it and the
ventilation is more important to us in these COVID times. So,we are excited
that this will be our neighbor. We live three streets off of Shore Drive
towards the eastern end of it, but we love and enjoy everything that we do
off Shore Drive in the corridor and Chicks Beach. So, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you Ms. Meyers.
Ms. Dozier: Rob Edwards.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will state your name for the record, please.
Mr. Edwards: Thank you very much. Just as a point of clarification, there are a number
of folks from the Civic League who have planned parts of the speech and I
was part of that. Is there a way to reroute the calling of folks or if not, I can
go ahead. Okay. Good afternoon. My name is Rob Edwards, I am the
pastor of the Bayside Christian United Church of Christ on Greenwell Road
in Chicks Beach. And, I am here to join my voice with many others from the
Civic League and asking you to vote no on this proposal. There is no
disagreement that something needs to be done to improve the conditions
at Windsong Apartments. But this proposal is not the way to go. It is not in
the best interest of the community. I do not think it is in the best interest of
the City. I want to take a moment and highlight one facet that you will hear
many others from other speakers from the Civic League in a few moments.
Many of the current residents of Windsong work in our restaurants and
hotels, they serve in our military, but they are among the lowest wage
earners in our community. And, during this time of pandemic and especially
now that the numbers are increasing they are probably at our greatest risk
and our most economically fragile residents in our city. According to the
current rental rates provided on the Windsong Apartments website, units
are barely affordable as they currently are for folks who are in low wage
7
jobs, who are on disability, or who are in some way otherwise economically
disadvantaged. Despite what Mr. Nutter said earlier, and this is the first
time that we in the Civic League and I as the pastor of the only church in
the community in Chicks Beach have heard anything about the outreach in
terms of job postings or job fairs or anything of that nature, their work with
Catholic Charities or anything else. Even though, I was promised I would
be involved in that conversation with them. This is the first we have heard
of it. And, while the developers have not yet committed to what their rent
structure will be for the improved existing apartments. They did say at a
community meeting at Morningstar Baptist back in the end of 2019, the rent
would probably increase 15 to 20%. Approval of this project will have a
devastating impact on the current residents because the smallest apartment
at 650 square feet, currently rents for about$950 a month according to their
website. And, if you increase that by 15 to 20%, that puts the residents of
Windsong taxpayers in Virginia Beach at risk for becoming homeless. And,
so, I hope that you will seriously consider that before you cast your vote
today. The critical lack of available affordable rental housing in Virginia
Beach means that they will have to move to other cities to find a safe,
decent, and affordable place to live. This project is being funded by private
monies and although they have indicated they have set money aside to
assist folks in moving. We will wait to see how that happens.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Edwards: There is also an economic impact and I encourage you to vote no and thank
you for your time much.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry, sir your 3 minutes are up. Thank you very much.
Ms. Dozier: Next speaker is Quinn Zimmerman.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Zimmerman, are you.
Mr. Morgan: I am sorry, I am the president of the Civic League and I was told that I was,
I submitted a list earlier this week that the series of how we would speak,
and since I got the first speaking opportunity I was allowed to go 10 minutes,
is that correct.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Tajan do you want to address the out of order.
8
Mr. Tajan: It appears there was a miscommunication on Staff side, so if he is
representing the Civic League, he does have 10 minutes. We will get it
squared away moving forward.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, great. Thank you. Go right ahead sir, if you will state your name for
the record.
Mr. Morgan: Dr. T.J. Morgan. Just a point to note, we did not receive the Staff report
until December 3, and it contains vital information that we have not had time
to view adequately. It is customary to have that 30 days in advance, that is
what my understanding is, is that correct.
Ms. Oliver: Sir, Mr. Hughes has just stated that typically the agenda is released on the
Thursday before the Wednesday at the Planning Commission. Thank you.
Mr. Morgan: Okay, all right. I am new to this, so I am learning as I go.
Ms. Oliver: That is all right.
Mr. Morgan: Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. My name is Dr. T.J. Morgan and I
am the current president of Chesapeake Beach Civic League, I served in
the Chesapeake Beach Civic League as an officer for over 10 years. As a
Civic League we lose our integrity and credibility, if we oppose every change
that happens in our neighborhood. We are selective about which issues
are most important and need to take a high-level priority to oppose. For
that reason, we would not be standing here if we did not feel that the current
plan to redevelop the Windsong Apartments is bad for our community for a
number of reasons which I will lay out. You will also be hearing additional
qualified speakers from our organization who are opposed to the plan as
set forth. Many of the speakers are specialists in the field to the portion of
the plan that we oppose. Chesapeake Beach, which is also known as
Chicks Beach is a very unique community, much like Old Virginia Beach at
the Oceanfront. And, that many of the small beach cottages like mine were
built in 1950 or earlier. As a matter of fact, Chesapeake Beach just
celebrated its 100th year anniversary in 2019. Most of the infrastructure
was created at a time when the number of people living and working in
Chicks Beach was not nearly what it is today. In many ways, it has not
changed. Much of our identity is steeped in our rich history. One of the
unique qualities of Chicks Beach is our diversity. We do not share all the
same backgrounds, but yet we choose to live in this little nook off Shore
9
Drive on the beaches of the Chesapeake Bay. It has been the affordable
housing for our labor force for generations. Windsong residents are seeing
raises in rent and additional fees being placed in an insidious fashion to
slowly push them out. Where will they go in the midst of a pandemic crisis.
Many of them hold jobs and local businesses. Most of them live in the
apartment complexes along the stretch, a Pleasure House Road from Shore
Drive to Lookout Road. For many of us it is painful to see the tides of
change occurring all around us, because we are so invested in our
community. We would like to see common sense changes instead of
steamroll change that is driven only by the almighty dollar. I am a native of
Virginia Beach and I grew up vacationing at Chesapeake Beach, and I have
seen many changes in my 55 years. We do know that change is inevitable.
Yes, Chicks Beach is valuable waterfront community. It is why many of us,
including myself have brought our businesses here, and why so many
developers are moving in. The Civic League understands the need to
improve, we welcome improvements. We support our local businesses and
expect change. We understand that the Windsong Apartments are aged
and in some cases in disrepair. It is long overdue. The Civic League has
been amicable to discuss and even compromise with the developers about
what could be done to renovate the complex. I have been meeting with
representatives of Bonaventure for nearly two years now in hopes that we
could find a resolution. The initial plan was put forth, was bad for Chicks
Beach then and there has been little change since. So, I will proceed with
our opposition. Pleasure House Road, I mentioned our antiquated
infrastructure. Pleasure House Road is a two lane road that has ingress
and egress points for a large majority of people and most of our
neighborhood. The intersection at Pleasure House and Shore Drive is
currently rated an E by the City's Traffic Engineers, not an A, B, or C, but
an E. We border on one of the largest naval bases in the country and when
they are backed up, it pushes the traffic on Pleasure House Road as far
back as the old fire station. The city knows how bad it can be because it
realized what a nightmare the intersection was, and they decided to relocate
the fire station to Greenwell Road because our first responders were being
delayed. The mere fact that there is a no left turn during peak hours at the
Wawa on the corner of Pleasure House and Shore Drive is an admission of
an issue with traffic. The developers plan to rezone most of the Windsong
Property they are proposing an increase of a minimum of 139 units.
According to code, that would be approximately 280 additional drivers on a
C road that is already rated an E. I want you to imagine the major
thoroughfare coming out of your neighborhood. Now imagine, adding 280
10
additional cars every day. We have many concerns about the developers
plan, but first and foremost, it is their desire to rezone to A-36, which sets a
dangerous precedent for our community. As a matter of reference the City
Code states in Section 600 of the Virginia Beach City Ordinance, Appendix-
A, A-36 apartment districts are created in recognition of the existence of
develop areas where multifamily dwellings exist as a density already 36
units per acre. It is not the intention to create additional A-36 districts to
enlarge the limits of existing A-24 or A-36 districts, except in cases to
promote infilling in areas already zoned A-36. Nowhere in all Chesapeake
Beach do we have any A-36 zones, nowhere. This also violates the City's
Comprehensive Plan, the developers are asking for a change in zoning
which is in direct conflict with the Virginia Beach Zoning Ordinance. The
city has a comprehensive plan for our growth and density that does not
include this type of density. Chesapeake Beach is not in a "strategic growth
area" of the city, and only in those strategic growth areas can a city change
the zoning. A-36 is in the Comprehensive Plan only in infill small pockets
that are in need. Additionally, this rezoning is in direct conflict with the city's
own Shore Drive Overlay District. As a community, we have grown
accustomed to new development, we are familiar with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Shore Drive Overlay District, which already allows
for increased density. Chicks Beach is seeing an annual increase in density
with current R5R zones where our little cottages are being razed and 3-
story duplexes are going up every month. We believe that creating an A-
36 zone in the heart of Chicks Beach opens the door for all neighboring
multifamily complexes to overdevelop. On March 18, 2019 I invited the
representatives of Bonaventure to our Civic League general meeting and
attendance were Delegate Chris Stolle, Councilman Lewis Jones,
Commissioner Dave Redmond, Shore Drive Community Coalition President
Todd Solomon, and Presidents from Bay Lake Pines, Ocean Park, Cape
Story by the Sea Civic Leagues. There were over 200 people in attendance,
Bonaventure gave their presentation and then fielded many questions by
our members. At the conclusion of our meeting, we voted on whether to
endorse their request to rezone to A-36. Our Civic League voted
unanimously to oppose Bonaventure's request to rezone to A-36. Let me
be clear though, as a group we are not opposed to renovation on the current
zoning. Many from our group are developers themselves and came up with
very good ideas on alternative ways to improve the property. As a matter
of fact, we have had numerous meetings with the representatives of
Bonaventure in hopes to appeal to some sort of healthy common sense
resolution. We were consistently told that to make the numbers work, they
11
have to resort to the plan that they have instituted. Their standard answer
to our recommendations was that, that is not what we do, we only do
apartments, no other options period, even when there clearly were better
ones that would benefit all parties and still reap a return on investment for
the owners. Because they were obtuse and only do this project one way we
see this clearly as a self-imposed hardship. As much as we do want to see
the Windsong Apartments improved it should not be the City's or at our
neighborhoods expense. If this should pass, our fear would be
Bonaventure's potential strategy would be one of mission creep. After the
starting out with limited new construction and some renovation, the next
phase would be to demolish the old units and build 36 units per acre with
no variance needed. This potentially would bring the total number of units
from 417 to 563 and an increase in this much density would make our
intersection at Pleasure House and Shore Drive a bottleneck nightmare.
Our Emergency Medical Services and Fire and Rescue would be
compromised as response times would be lengthened and potentially
setting up for potential disaster. One should pose this question, how is this
project a benefit to Chicks Beach. As you probably already know Chicks
Beach has a water problem, with the current rise in sea level, we are seeing
more and more issues with flooding and standing water throughout our
community. We feel that the city needs to make it a priority to create
solutions to already existing problems. Why allow a preventable problem
like increased density and increased traffic requiring capital improvements,
when we are dealing with problems like flooding. This simply does not make
sense, especially when you know that it goes against the city's own
ordinance, comprehensive plan, and Shore Drive Overlay. Ladies and
gentlemen, I thank you for your time. I appreciate your no vote.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Dr. Morgan. Is anybody have any questions, Mr. Redman. Dr.
Morgan.
Mr. Redmond: No, I just wanted to mention that March meeting of 2019, you left out
Rosemary Wilson, she was there too.
Mr. Morgan: I apologize.
Mr. Redmond: There you go, I feel better.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
12
Ms. Dozier: Mark Walker.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will state your name for the record when you arrive, Mr.
Walker.
Mr. Walker: Good afternoon Madam Chairman, Planning Commissioners, my name is
Mark Walker. I am a registered architect and resident of Chicks Beach for
41 years. I am also co-chair of the Architectural Preservation and Zoning
Committee for the Chesapeake Beach Civic League for the past 19 years
and I am opposed to this conditional rezoning request. The applicant
wishes to abolish the current R-10 and A-18 zoning completely. An A-18
zoning currently occupies over 50% of the existing 14.7 acre parcel. When
you do the math, using the existing 272 housing units divided by current
acreage, the result is 18.5 units per acre basically matching A-18 zoning.
Yet the applicant wants to convert the entire parcel with the exception of 0.2
acres to A-24 and A-36 zoning at about a 60-40 split. How is this justified,
where is the hardship and furthermore where is the precedent. There does
exist a small 2-acre parcel, which is zoned A-24 and is part of the 14.7 acre
site. As a reference article six of the Virginia Beach Zoning Ordinance gives
the legislative intent for apartment districts, A-24 and A-36 as follows, and
"the A-24 and A-36 districts are created in recognition of the existence of
developed areas where multifamily dwellings exist and densities between
24 and 36 dwelling units per acre". At 18.5 units per acre this current density
is not even close to justifying the creation of additional A-24 and A-36 zoning
according to the ordinance. The ordinance further states it is not the
intention to create additional A-24 and A-36 districts, except in cases to
promote infilling in areas that are already zoned or developed at densities
between 24 and 36 dwelling units per acre. There are no parcels zoned A-
36 within miles of Windsong Apartments in all directions to justify infilling of
existing densities, between 24 and 36 units per acre. Approval of this
rezoning will add 139 new units to the existing 272 for a 51% density
increase. Expanding A-24 and creating A-36 zoning at Chicks Beach will
create a precedent, which is unjustified and clearly not allowed by the
ordinance. The Bayfront corridor is already 25% more dense than the rest
of Virginia Beach, please do not approve this rezoning, unsupported,
unjustified 51% density increase. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Dozier: Matt Baumgarten.
13
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will please state your name for the record.
Mr. Baumgarten: Matt Baumgarten. Good afternoon distinguished members of the
Virginia Beach Planning Commission, my name is Matt Baumgarten and I
have been a resident of Virginia Beach since 1992, I moved to Chicks
Beach in 2006. I currently serve as the co-chair of the Architectural
Preservation and Zoning Committee of Chesapeake Beach Civic League. I
have been in commercial construction and real estate development for over
24 years, while Colliers and Associates are trying to accomplish at
Windsong Apartments makes sense to me from a business perspective, but
as a resident of one of the finest and historically significant sections of
Virginia Beach I am deeply concerned with how this project is being
presented by the owner today. Currently, the site has 272 very small one
and two bedroom apartments. The rezoning application does not provide
any data on the number of bedrooms currently on the property or for the
proposed 411 units. Why is a bedroom count a significant factor? Because
in this area of Virginia Beach we have many brave service members and
hardworking blue collar workers that like to buddy up and live together, so,
they can afford to live near the beach. More bedrooms means more adults
living on property and that translates directly to more cars associated with
the property. Assuming a balance split of one and two bedroom units the
existing 272 units should result in approximately 408 total bedrooms.
However, with 411 units that now include three and four bedroom units that
bedroom count could be as high as 1000 bedrooms. According to this
application, the new Windsong complex will only produce 76 school aged
children. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the majority of the bedrooms
will be filled with adults. Adults that work or go to school and that own a
car, but what if this proposed plan is just step-one for developing this site. I
see huge mission creep potential. Why would a property owner developer
stop at 411 units? If this was my property, I would want to maximize its
earning potential. So, let us say they get 411 units approved here today
with a section of the property zoned A-36, I would be back in 5 to 10 years
and turn the entire property into A-36. When we look at the site plan for
Windsong they are leaving 13 of the old building still standing. Having a
mix of brand new class-A apartments with at best class-C apartments on
the same property does not make sense to me. This creates tension
between residents, a feeling of haves and have nots will develop. I bring
your attention to what Lincoln Military Housing has done right here on Shore
Drive, they built brand new multifamily units adjacent to the 1960s era
14
multifamily units. The tension they created as a major reason you keep
seeing like in military housing in the newspaper for inadequate service and
subpar living conditions. With the entire Windsong Property rezoned to A-
36 the owner will be allowed by right to build a total 528 units, bedroom
count for 528 units could go as high as 1300. That would be a 500%
increase from what Windsong is today. Again I say to you, I see huge
mission creep potential here. We the citizens of Chicks Beach and the
overall Shore Drive Corridor Community have invested long term in our
choice of the place that we call home. We are the ones that are forced to
live.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Sir.
Mr. Baumgarten: Thank you Ma'am.
Ms. Dozier: Wally Damon.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, state your name for the record, please.
Mr. Damon: I am Wally Damon. I live in Chesapeake Beach Good afternoon. I have
lived in the Shore Drive corridor most of my life. My background is
construction management and critical path method scheduling, and that is
why I oppose this application. I know what it is going to be like.
Chesapeake Beach was a beautiful little community when my family and I
moved there in April of 1957. Pleasure House Road was then and still is
one lane in and one lane out. At first we lived on Lauderdale Avenue
between Pleasure House Lake, and the Bay. A big sand dune with our
backyard down to the Bay and it is hard for me to explain how wonderful
that was. It was a very safe place to grow up, my brothers and I played on
that sand dune all the time. It is all gone. In the 30s Chesapeake Beach
was mostly farmland. By the time we moved there, there were weeping
willow trees and wild strawberries growing all along Guam Avenue where
we lived west to a large patch of water oaks, where the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge tunnel is today. As kids we would climb to the top of those water
oaks and go from tree-to-tree on vines and never touched the ground.
There was a virtual canopy that blocked the light from coming down through
the trees, all the kids loved it. It is all gone. Pear trees and Muscadine
grapes grew along the Lookout Road. Apple and blackberry trees around
Lake Drive. There were fig trees and persimmons throughout Chesapeake
Beach. There were small cottages for people to live in. Most driveways
15
were either sand or crushed oyster shells. It is all gone. In the early 70s
apartments started popping up along Pleasure House Road. My wife
recently counted 22 apartment complexes that feed traffic onto Pleasure
House Road. It is so crowded that many residents now use Greenwell
Road, the road that I live on, or Indian Hill at the West End of Lookout Road
to enter or leave Chesapeake Beach. Windsong Apartments was called
Collier Apartments when I rented a garage from them for a few years while
my brother Gus was living there. I got to know Clyde Collier Junior pretty
well and we went to Bike Week in Daytona together with our motorcycles. I
have to get this off my chest. My main complaint about this application is
the density it will add to the neighborhood, and the potential for even more.
Pleasure House Road is one lane please remember that, a change in
zoning of the A-36 will be just that, a hardship that Chesapeake Beach
cannot live with. And, if they get the right to overcrowded us even more
than we are now, what will other apartment owners want to do. Where will
we be then with all of the meetings I have attended about this, they would
never answer my questions. Why cannot they comply with the current
zoning. I have asked seven times, seven meetings I have been to,
everybody wants to live in Chicks Beach. Ladies and gentlemen everybody
can't. We just can't do it, we cannot have all those people coming in there.
We have got to do something better about Pleasure House Road critical
path method scheduling remember, it is important.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you sir.
Ms. Dozier: Gaylon Montgomery.
Ms. Oliver: If you please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Montgomery: My name is Gaylon Montgomery. I am currently the Chesapeake
Beach Civic League Secretary, and I have been a resident of Chesapeake
Beach for 21 years. I am opposed to rezoning to A-36 or even A-24. This
increase in density will put a heavy burden on our traffic situation for both
Pleasure House Road and neighborhood streets used as alternate routes
to Shore Drive. Even A-24 rezoning would increase the development by
over 125 units, at the normal 2.15 vehicles per unit that is conservatively
280 more vehicles on Pleasure House Road averaging four trips per day.
Pleasure House Road cannot handle 1100 more vehicles per day, does not
take a friend in Traffic Engineering to figure that out. Unlike other properties
Bonaventure has shown us Windsong has entry and egress only to
16
Pleasure House Road, a two lane road. Pleasure House Road is the main
thoroughfare for Chesapeake Beach, Chicks Beach, and Bay Lake Pines
residents. It is the main avenue for visitors to our four awesome restaurants
and brewery. Spring and summer beach goers enjoy historic Chicks Beach.
Driveways and parking lots are packed all summer, and the City makes
quite a sum on speeding tickets and illegally parked cars, because we are
already overburdened. The intersection of Pleasure House and Shore Drive
rated E, is already maxed out during the beach season and during peak
commute hours, year around. The City recognizes this traffic issue and has
enacted no turn regulations, extended turn lanes on Shore Drive and
Northampton Boulevard, reduced speed limits on portions of Pleasure
House and they even moved our Fire Department off of Pleasure House to
get better access to Shore Drive. They recognize that slowing down
emergency vehicles may very well cost a life. In 2015, I was in a trauma
ambulance with a broken vertebrae and concussions from a ladder accident
at my home. It took the trauma ambulance 20 minutes to arrive, while a
neighbor pinned me to the ground. Time was of the essence. It makes no
sense to make this worse. This is a very pedestrian neighborhood. We
have had one neighbor killed, hit by a car right in front of 711 on Pleasure
House, and another recently hit and killed on his bike at the intersection of
Shore and Pleasure House. It is only a matter of time before a child will be
struck by a vehicle going around cars, waiting to turn across traffic, they are
lined up there every day. City sidewalk improvements have been cancelled
because of lack of funding. This increase in zoning will set a precedent for
the apartment owners and developers on the Short Drive Corridor. With
Windsong today, there are eight major apartment complexes, all of which
are ageing, all of which are on that one-mile stretch of Pleasure House
Road, all of which have access only via Pleasure House Road, and all of
which will be asking you to do the same for them if you approve an A-24
and A-36 voting. Thank you for voting a resounding no, as the residents
have asked you to do.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, sir.
Ms. Dozier: Quinn Zimmerman.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome if you will state your name for the record please.
Mr. Zimmerman: My name is Quinn Zimmerman, and I am here in opposition. My family
has been in a residence of Chesapeake Beach for more than 41 years. I
17
am an environmental scientist with a deep bore license of master onsite soil
evaluator. For the past 20 years I worked in environmental and public
health, with respect to inground disposal of wastewater. I have also
personally and professionally in many sites where stormwater runoff has
negatively affected clients and my family. It is said that no one raindrop
believes it is to blame for the flood and the same can be said for any square
foot of impervious surface. In the past several decades flooding due to a
combination of factors is becoming a bigger, bigger issue in the region. In
Chesapeake Beach increased development by-right has exacerbated
issues to the point that Lakes Pleasure House and Bradford, parts of which
this property drained to are already, one of the major city stormwater
projects. The proposal before you plans to deal with onsite stormwater
using underground chambers designed to promote onsite infiltration. Like
any tool these chambers have advantages and disadvantages. Specifically,
they work well in sandy soils with a deep water table. This is the opposite
of what is present on Windsong site. USDA soil maps of the area show that
the native soil type is Tetotum series. This soil has both high-clay content
and a high seasonal water table. In order to keep chambers from being
crushed by vehicular and other traffic, the bottoms of commonly used
chambers are three to four or four or more feet underground. Instead of
stormwater flowing into these chambers and soaking into the ground, they
will be underwater for much of the year and will not work properly. Any
runoff entering the chambers will force a mixture of stormwater and
groundwater out the other end, instead of reducing runoff from the site.
Thus increasing the amount quantities of stormwater entering the
surrounding area. I have already discussed two of the lakes. Let me
mention Lake Joyce, that the other property also drains to. This lake only
outfalls is a small drain with small diameter pipes under Indian Hill Road
and these pipes are smaller than many of the pipes that discharge
stormwater into the lake. These outfall pipes pale in comparison to larger
outfall were and box culverts at other sites such as Lake Smith. Of course
installing these stormwater improvements would be a significant capital
investment to the City and disruptions to traffic over a prolonged period of
time. Sadly, it gets worse. The concentrations of pollutants in stormwater
are high, to reduce bacteria nutrients and other pollutants to low levels and
prevent groundwater pollution, you need a significant depth of dry
unsaturated soil with these chambers which is not going to happen due to
the high seasonal water table. By putting stormwater directly into the water
table, contamination of the near surface aquifer can occur. This
contamination could also spread beyond the Windsong site. City spent a
18
lot of money trying to fix problems in our area. We do not need this kind of
precedent being set. I implore you to vote no on this proposal.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, sir.
Ms. Dozier: Michelle Zimmerman.
Ms. Zimmerman: Good afternoon and thank you for having us here today. As my son
just told you, I am a 41-year resident as is he.
Ms. Oliver: Madam if you could state your name for the record, please.
Ms. Zimmerman: I am Michelle Zimmerman and I live in Chesapeake Beach. I have for
41 years, and I am here in opposition to the proposal of the Collier
Bonaventure folks to rezone the Windsong Property. I completely oppose
this plan, this conditional rezoning again as my neighbors have stated the
density requested creates a burdensome hardship and danger to the health
and safety of our residents. As you all know,great density and public safety,
are incompatible. And, all of our first responders and our liaison police
officers with our Civic League can attest to the difficulty that density causes
in terms of family violence, in terms of fire risks, and in terms of accidents.
To the density and the egress and ingress on Pleasure House Road,
Pleasure House Road is a basically a side from carrying automobiles from
a Shore Drive and the other areas to the Lookout Road area is also utilized
by children on bikes, by parents walking babies in strollers, by general
pedestrians. We have already heard about accidents that have happened
there. We have seen accelerated destruction of the environment and a
degradation in our environment due to the increased density. The Collier
plan as you can see, includes requests for minimal setbacks from the road,
one of the setbacks is from 30-feet to 5-feet of Pleasure House Road. There
is barely room for a six-inch sidewalk there. And, we have all of these
people going up and down the road. I will quickly try to tie up, in the
summertime between late April and late September, density increases by
probably tenfold and we have no place to keep our cars.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, I am sorry your time is up.
Ms. Zimmerman: Okay.
Ms. Dozier: Christopher Tan.

Mr. Tan: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and the Planning Commission and Members
of the Planning Commission. My name is Christopher Tan and I am the
CEO of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia. I am here to just talk briefly
about our partnership with the developers and what we would plan to do.
And, I would just state very quickly that I Catholic Charities, I do not know
about all the traffic stuff and all that stuff and I do not even have the pleasure
of living in the City of Virginia Beach, I actually live in Norfolk, but we have
two offices in Virginia Beach, but Catholic Charities really care about people
and that is important to us. So, I will let other people talk about the
aesthetics. But, for us at Catholic Charities, we really pride ourselves on
doing the right thing and trying to partner with people that are trying to do
the right thing by people. So, we are excited to be a part of the project in
helping the current residents who may need help with rental assistance,
may need help with moving expenses, may need help with determining
whether they can afford the property that would be moving forward, Catholic
Charities would provide all of that assistance free of charge. So, we have
already started working with a resident who suggested that this may be may
happen was interested in buying her first home. And, so, Catholic Charities
can provide them with credit counseling helping them repair credit, first time
home purchase counseling that helps them think about what it would take
to buy a home, and then getting them in the right direction, so, we have
already started that with one of the residents already. This is all provided
by Catholic Charities free of charge to anybody who is interested, residents
of the apartments and anyone else to be quite frank in the public. And, so,
it is really important to us as I said to partner with somebody who we feel at
least has the best interest of those who they are trying to help as a part of
that process. We have seen it many times in working with the poor and the
working poor, where developers come in and do not even think twice about
building properties and not put any money aside to help them determine
what is best for them and their families. And, so, Catholic Charities stands
ready to help in any way that we can. We have a rich history of working in
financial and housing counseling and a rich history of working for with and
for the City of Virginia Beach. We currently have distributed almost
$350,000 in rental assistance in the Hampton Roads community related to
COVID. We distributed 40,000 diapers in the City of Virginia Beach alone
and Catholic Charities was honored to also be a part of and the case
managers for the victims of the municipal shooting as well. So, we try to do
the right thing every chance we get. So, I am happy to answer any
questions you have and thank you for your time.
20
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: In addition to a security deposit for someone who is looking to relocate out
of the Windsong Properties, is their ongoing assistance or is it that initial
security deposit that you all provide.
Mr. Tan: So, I think it will depend to be quite frank on what the need of the resident
is. So, for example, the good news is in some sense that there is a pool of
funding that Bonaventure have set aside that Catholic Charities has some
significant discretion on determining what is in the best interest of the
residents. So, part of that would be if they are looking to move, clearly
helping with their moving expenses and helping with a security deposit if it
is another rental property. Our hope is to help them think through if
purchasing a home is what their goal is to help them do that and we can set
aside money for those type of things as well, helping them figure out what
the cost would be for home inspections and all kinds of different things. At
Catholic Charities, I hope that the goal would be to take each individual case
as unique and Catholic Charities with our agreement has a lot of discretion
to determine what that is, there is limitations clearly and, but it could be
rental assistance, it could be helping them stay, if they want to stay. And,
then the other part that we would provide is helping them to feel like whether
that can be affordable or not. I mean I sympathize with a lot of the comments
here, we see it all the time but we also at Catholic Charities are somewhat
responsible in helping to educate mentor and coach people into making
sure they can afford or they want to stay. I always say to some of the clients
that we have like my wife and I would love to live in a house right on the
beach but that is not in our budget. I work for nonprofit. So, I think, helping
them figure that out as well is going to be a part of that. So, it can go way
beyond that, but it would be based on their needs.
Ms. Klein: It looks like the current rent is about$1,000, what does that market look like
in the Norfolk, Virginia Beach area for someone.
Mr. Tan: That is hard to answer, I can only answer it this way like we are in COVID
assistance for many people who have lost jobs, the average assistance
amount that we are assisting with one month's rent for the most part is
between $800 and $1200. We received very little less than 800, we see as
much as you know 15 and 1600 at times, it depends on the size. So, I
cannot answer you know what that would be like average wise but for our
21
COVID assistance related to Virginia Beach and Norfolk and the
surrounding areas, the average is probably 1000.
Ms. Klein: What about the density of available housing in that price range.
Mr. Tan: This is totally my opinion in some sense I do not want to speak for Catholic
Charities in that perspective, I think we are really challenged with affordable
housing in this entire community, you can you can pick any city you want in
my opinion,and where that affordable housing is located is also a challenge.
I think what you would see from the clients that we serve instead of give you
a picture we serve about 75% of clients that we would consider the working
poor, which is 200% of poverty or below. So, an average family of four
that's $44,000 a year, but we see rentals oftentimes well within 12, 13,
$1400 for that type of family, and it is a challenge. And, so, I definitely think
at the low end of the spectrum affordable housing is a tremendous
challenge. I do not know exactly how the new rates would apply.
Ms. Klein: Thank you.
Mr. Tan: Sure.
Mr. Graham: Thank you. I know you are not an apartment specialist but you are seeing
rents with your clients that, it is increasing whether a property's renovated
or not, is that accurate.
Mr. Tan: Sure. Yeah. I think, I would say, again not knowing exactly the specifics of
the rental in that particular area that for the poor and the working poor you
know rent is going up, and whether it is being renovated or not really does
not matter in that sense. In a previous position, I worked for a city that was
spending out significant amount of time renovating and redeveloping areas,
we were advocates for families at the time and we saw the same thing, it
has not changed. So, I absolutely would say that rent is going up wherever
you are in that sense.
Mr. Graham: Yeah. Okay. The developer I believe is committed to $200,000, the funds
set aside, do you see that very often where somebody redeveloping a
property like this and expanding a property or adding units that they set
aside $200,000. I know it does not go as far as we would like it to go but do
you see that very often.
22
Mr. Tan: So, this is the first time I have testified for a Planning Commission if that
answers your question. So, I have never seen it, we have never been
asked, we have been doing financial and housing counseling for
tremendous amount of time. We have never been asked to do it, we have
been doing and again we do this work in relation to the community. So, it
is very rare in my mind, we have never seen it and I would say that the
significant part of the money set aside as well as that like Catholic Charities
we're taking a very small portion to actually administer the funds, so, 80%
of that money is going literally directly to the people that are in need. And,
we also allowed to give you an example, this has not been approved and
we have not received any money just to make sure everybody knows that,
but we are also helping some of those residents right now with their COVID
response assistance because they do not have jobs related to COVID. And,
so, we are connecting them with the Virginia Beach Relief Organizations
and other emergency food and shelter programs that we have, helping them
now and we are doing that throughout numerous cities in the area, and so.
But to answer your question, no, we do not see that often.
Mr. Graham: Okay, well thank you for everything you do.
Mr. Tan: Yeah, I appreciate you time.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any other questions? Thank you so much for your time and
your service.
Mr. Tan: Thanks for your time.
Ms. Dozier: Rebecca Bump.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you state your name for the record, please.
Ms. Bump: My name is Becky Bump and I have been a resident of Chicks Beach for 22
years. I purchased my home in 1998, and it was built in 1937, within the
first year of living on the lake, my home experienced flooding problems. In
fact, much of the entire community has experienced a lot of flooding over
the years. The problem is not really sea level rise, but stormwater. For
years Lake Chubb and Bradford have been the major stormwater
repositories for the Northwest corner of Virginia Beach, including
Chesapeake Beach as well as Thoroughgood. The stormwater flows into
and through Lakes Chubb and Bradford and exit through a long outfall
23
system that runs through Little Creek, through a weir and ditch and finally
ends up in Little Creek Bay. In the early 2000s several million dollars were
spent by our City to outs and stop flooding by improving the drainage at
Pleasure House Lake which dead ends at the end of Pleasure House Road
on Lookout. Pleasure House Lake has no outfall. So, they spent the money
to connect Pleasure Lake by pipe to Chubb Lake, so that when it overflowed
we would add even more water into the stormwater system. Unfortunately,
continued development and resulting density in Chesapeake Beach and the
loss of open land, the tremendous removal of about every Live Oak Tree
living there has exacerbated the flooding issues to the point that after the
enormous flooding of Hurricane Matthew in 2016, finally a CIP was
completed, was issued to study the problem of the water and the
stormwater. The engineering has been done and the report states that the
City will need to spend $32 million to mitigate the flooding at Lakes
Pleasure, Chubb, and Bradford, that's before Bonaventure increased
density here. Unfortunately, while the engineering is complete, there is no
budget allocated at this time, so, with having a plan without a budget is not
really helping us. In the meantime, the new Windsong project will add to
the stormwater problem in an already very flood weary neighborhood. As
Mr. Zimmerman pointed out the proposed underwater storage systems
proposed for Windsong will not work based on the water table that is there
it is a nice idea but it is impractical for their location. As added to the paving
of an enormous amount of area that is now currently open space, you can
only imagine how much more difficult the flooding will become. I lost my
house, my home during Hurricane Matthew. For those of us who live in
Chicks Beach and particularly for those of us who have been on these
Lakes, we are paying very high taxes.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much, Ma'am. Your time is up.
Ms. Bump: Thank you.
Ms. Dozier: Theresa Pearson.
Ms. Pearson: Thank you Madam Chair and members of the Planning Commission. My
name is Teresa Pearson, I live in Throughgood 23455. I am the Director of
Admissions for Marian Manor Assisted Living, it is a nonprofit assisted living
community. Oftentimes I get folks who come into my community, because
of a change in a life event, they may be downsizing, or they may have
experienced the loss of a spouse or any other number of reasons for them
24
to move. They come to our community looking to find another place to live,
to be members of a community, to stay in their neighborhood to enjoy all of
the things that they have had for years. However, a lot of them are not in
need of the services that we provide right away. But, they are also very
cautious of their monies because as we all know, care for elderly is very
expensive, and an opportunity to be able to present a community like
Windsong that is a 100% rent community, that would allow them to move
downsize, preserve their monies for when they do need assisted living and
be able to not be taxed with the sale of another home is an absolutely
wonderful opportunity for me to be able to offer to these folks, because
again, they want community, they are independent, they do not need our
services now, but they will someday, and we need to help them preserve
their funds for as long as possible. One of the beauties of the community
that I work in is that we provide a home for life because we are sponsored
by the Catholic Diocese. I have had the pleasure of working with
Bonaventure and seeing their rendering, I live in that corridor. I hope
someday to maybe as I downsize, relocate there because it is my
neighborhood. And, I have also had the opportunity to participate in a job
fair that they put on in December of 2019, prior to COVID. We had the great
pleasure of being able to hire an exceptional individual out of that job fair
that has now become a very viable staff family member in taking care of
these residents who entrust themselves to us. So, I stand here and speak
for the approval of this community. I think it can serve a lot of good, I am not
into the environmental aspect and the aesthetic aspect, but I do support
what they are trying to do there. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Dozier: Bill Curtis.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, and if you will state your name for the record, please.
Mr. Curtis: Good afternoon, my name is Bill Curtis, and I am a retired Naval Officer, I
am Chairman of the Board of Directors of Staff Incorporated which is a
community action agency. Remember of the Hampton Roads Black
Caucus and also a former Vice President of my Homeowners Association.
I come before you in support this initiative. In addition to those and I am not
representing any of them. I just want you to know that I am active in the
community and I understand what is going on. I also spent many years
living in Northern Virginia and one of my concerns is that Virginia Beach not
25
become Arlington or Alexandria. Having lived there that is not desirable.
So, I view this initiative with a great deal of promise. I think that it is
presenting a need that even though redevelopment is, in many cases not
desirable, it is going to be inevitable. Now, I live in the Three Oaks Area
near Red Mill, so, I understand the comments of the people the residents,
but I also recognize that you want to have responsible development that
meets the needs of the community and I think Bonaventure does a great
job with that. I think that they are going to provide an opportunity for military
people, for those who are changing their residences, and we have to keep
in mind that this corridor is highly desirable. So, you are going to see
redevelopment and you are going to see density increases. I think this has
a measured approach. And, I think that it would benefit the community and
the City and I encourage you to approve it. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Dozier: Madam Chair, the next four speakers are WebEx speakers, so, if you will
bear with us for a moment. They are online and Kevin is prepared. Kim
Mayo. Kim if you will pause two or three seconds we will unmute your mic
and you can begin your comments, please do not ask if we can hear you.
If you will pause two to three seconds, we are going to unmute your mic and
you can begin your comments. That would be, Cami Jones. Cami if you
could pause for two to three seconds, we will unmute your mic and you can
begin your comments.
Ms. Best-Jones: Hi, good afternoon, Madam Chair and Committee Members, my name
is Cami Best-Jones, my husband and my 9-year-old, and our super cute
aussie-doodle dog live in Chesapeake Beach. We own a single family
home there. Our street is just off of Pleasure House Road, it is across from
the property we are talking about. I feel like that is really important to note.
We have heard from six individuals in support of this, none of which live in
Chicks Beach.We have got someone from Cape Story who thinks that looks
nice. Ocean Lakes who wants to move to our community, someone nearby
that likes to visit. Folks from an organization to help relocate people out of
our neighborhood, an organization to help locate people into our
neighborhood, and someone who has lived in Arlington, Virginia, as have I
actually, that is where I relocated from living in Arlington, see a lot of
complexes like the one we are talking about today, and we actually sought
out Chicks Beach for the neighborhood itself and relocated here. So, I can
tell you that what you are hearing from the community and that is the Chicks
26
Beach community is a strong resounding opposition to the rezoning of A-
36. I do commend the developers, and Mr. Nutter's clients for certainly
addressing some of our concerns there. No longer is a plan to have a 4-
story apartment complex building right off of Pleasure House Road which
was initially what they came to us as a good idea, so, I am glad to see they
at least moved it a few feet back from the street that does not have a
sidewalk. However, this committee really has a great opportunity to help us
facilitate growth and development in Virginia Beach, but to still keep the
integrity of our community by not approving this property to be rezoned as
A-36. I would not harp on that too much because I know others have talked
about that specifically. But the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan does
include this as part of the suburban area of the Bayfront Community.
According to the Staff Plan that you all looked at it clearly states that
includes preserving and protecting the character, economic value and the
aesthetic quality of the neighborhood while also achieving the lowest
reasonable density for residential use. So, I would say that A-36 does not
even come close to being protected in this, again definitely I would love to
see them absolutely transformed this development with an infinity pool and
beautiful kitchens and a gym, but that can certainly be done within A-24
zoning or less. So, I have been told I am a talker, I will be clear and what I
am asking for today, I asked the committee not to approve the rezoning
request for A-36.
Ms. Dozier: The next speaker is Duncan Byers. Duncan if you will pause two to three
seconds, we will unmute your mic and you can begin your comments.
Mr. Byers: Yes. My name is Duncan Byers. I am a resident of Chicks Beach along with
my wife and my just over 2-year-old daughter. I am going to keep this very,
very short. Most of the important points I think have been hit on by the other
members of the Civic League, but just so you know. I am not only a member
of the Civic League but I also serve in an unofficial capacity as legal counsel
and provide legal advice. I am a partner of Patten Wornorm Hatten and
Diamonstein with a single point that I need to make to the committee today
is that, if the committee, actually sends this up to the City Council for
approval and the City Council does approve it that would be in direct
violation of the existing zoning ordinances, the existing zoning in the site
does not meet the prerequisites to allow the City Council to increase the
zoning to A-24 or A-36 by the very language of the zoning ordinance, and
the Virginia Supreme Court has already held that to do so in a separate
case but facts that are exactly on point. To do so, is arbitrary and capricious
27
and is a void act. And, so, as this committee considers whether or not to
send this up to the City Council for consideration should also take into
consideration the legal ramifications of it as well. Because what is going to
end up happening quite frankly is that there is going to be a legal challenge
and whether or not that comes out, in favor of the new zoning or not of
course it is going to be up to the courts, but the committee needs to take
that into account while it is considering this. And as a consequence, I
oppose the plan as it stands right now.
Ms. Oliver: We have a question for the speaker please.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Byers can you give us some legal citations, as to where you determined
that this was an improper action in terms of our ordinance or State law.
Mr. Byers: Yes. Yes, I can. First off, we need to look at the language of the ordinance
itself that says, specifically and I am quoting here, the A-24 and A-36
apartment districts are created in recognition of the existence of developed
areas where multifamily dwellings exist at densities between 24 and 36
dwelling units per acre. It is not the intention to create additional A-24 or A-
36 districts, or to enlarge the limits of existing A-24 or A-36 districts, except
in cases to promote infilling in areas that are already zoned or developed at
densities between 24 and 36 dwelling units per acre. So, what we have
there is we have conditions precedent, to being able to change the zoning.
None of the existing area actually falls in between A-24 and A-36 as
required by the ordinance. And, so, they do not meet the conditions
precedent and according to the Supreme Court in the case of Ranchi, the
County Board of Arlington County and I will give you the specific citation
that is 272, Virginia 369. If he looks specifically at language, forgive me I
have to flip through to my marked up version I was going to be there today
but could not physically. And in considering the case and I would
recommend strongly that the Council look at it in detail. I will give you the
summary and then you all can review it and consult with Council as
necessary to understand what I am talking about. The Supreme Court said
here, the County acted in direct violation of its zoning ordinance. When the
County rezoned a portion of the property from one zoning classification to
another without complying with the eligibility requirements set out in its own
ordinance, its action was arbitrary and capricious and not fairly debatable.
Therefore, rendering the rezoning void, and of no effect. And that is the first
part of the paragraph, just prior to the conclusion. It was a decision from
2006, and the holding was written by Justice Kinzer.

Mr. Inman: Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: We have any other questions for the speaker? Thank you very much sir.
Ms. Dozier: Next speaker is Melissa Griffith. Melissa if you can pause for two to three
seconds we will unmute your mic and you can bring in your comments. Did
you wish for me to call the other WebEx participant who did not respond, if
you wish for me to call for her again. That would be the end of our speakers
Madam.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. Mr. Nutter, would you like to come forward, please.
Mr. Nutter: Thank you very much. I would like to just a couple of the points and I know,
I believe I have three minutes, if I am not mistaken on rebuttal.
Ms. Oliver: Probably with all our questions you will end up with more than that. So, I
think we will just start.
Mr. Nutter: Thank you. First of all, I am not here to threaten if you do not approve this
by the way. There is plenty a lot of support to the Council's ability to adopt
rezonings. But, even if we play that little game, I would point out to you that
the density here is 28 units to the acre right between 24 and 36. The only
reason I want to make this point, we originally zoned this property and
submitted it as A-36, the whole thing with a density restriction to 411. And,
we were told by the Civic League that you are trying to trick us and you will
come back. So, they said, if you can divide this up so that the maximum
density is 36 and 24, so, you cannot possibly come back. And, originally
Mr. Tajan rejected that idea, so, that is ridiculous. He said we do conditional
rezonings all day long limiting the density. All day long, you do it, you have
seen that every probably once a month at least. So, we did it, we amended
the application with A-36 and A-24. And, we told the Civic League, if there
was an A-28 zoning, we would do it. There is no A-28 zoning and that is
what led us to the situation we are in today. So, I point out specifically
because we did this to prevent the very thing they are concerned about
which is this zoning creep concept that has been dreamt up. This is the
maximum we can do on this property, period. We cannot come back and
tear down old buildings, because we cannot park them. It is just that simple.
This is it for Windsong. This is it for its next 20 years to make it viable. So,
I want to defeat that idea that somehow that we are doing zoning creep, we
29
are not. That we are threatening to sue you, because if you do not grant
this, we are not doing that, because we believe you got more than enough
discretion to approve this application. I would like to address couple of
points though about stormwater, because I will direct you to page eight of
your write up, and I would direct the opposition to the same page, that says
that in this case we did more than most applicants. We went to and got the
actual stormwater models for Lake Bradford and Lake Joyce. And, we also
did our own geotechnical investigations, the soil samples in and around the
property to know what kind of stormwater systems will work and what will
not. So, I am happy to tell you that we can not only comply with the
ordinance as we said, so, those who are concerned about flooding and
stormwater, this is the only answer that is being proposed by anybody that
help and fixing the problem. I will have to stop there, Madam Chairperson
unless I have additional questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Can I go on with what you are getting to them.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, sir.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, the stormwater so you did borings.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, sir. We did geotechnical work on the site, and they have looked at the
soil types. They are very comfortable what we are proposing. That is why
we even put in the proffer, I am getting some feedback, we would not put in
proffer that we would increase the amount of stormwater by 10,000 cubic
feet above what the city requirements will be. And, your own report says
that will result in a significant benefit to the residents in the area.
Mr. Alcaraz: What was the required.
Mr. Nutter: The required amount is that we reduced the amount of flow off the property
by 20% from what is going off today. So, we do that, as we have to meet
that requirement period. What we have done, however, is not only that we
are holding an additional 10,000 cubic feet of water on the site before
releasing it. We are almost doubling the holding capacity on site on the
property.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, you are holding it. You are not treating it.
30
Mr. Nutter: We will treat it too. You have to treat it as well. But, you have to hold and
treat it so then what is released is number one is treated, and it is released
at a much, much slower lower volume, not just actually two different things
it is released in a lower capacity, and it is reduced at a lower volume. So, it
sounds less water coming off that site.
Mr. Alcaraz: And, currently you have nothing on site.
Mr. Nutter: There is currently nothing out there.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, sir.
Ms. Oliver: And, currently the water that is running off of this site is not being treated,
is that correct.
Mr. Nutter: That is correct. There is absolutely nothing on this site at all.
Ms. Oliver: There is a couple things I had questions on. Can you speak to the setback
on Pleasure House Road, please.
Mr. Nutter: I would be happy to do so. In this case as your Staff points out and the
reason why they did not oppose this request, and this request to by the way
is not a variation, this is just as Mr. Tajan has said, this is part of it, he said
PDH overlay so we get to set the standards. And, in this case, what
happened is that we were asked to make a 5-foot dedication of property to
for the city so when they come along and do road improvements as are
proposed in 2024, that you will have sufficient right of way for sidewalks,
road improvements, drainage and so forth. And, all of those are in your CIP
program today. So, by the way, there will be a full sidewalk across the entire
frontage of this property, I want everybody to know that. But the reason
why Staff was supportive of this because one, we were dedicating property
to the city to widen the road and under your ordinance you measure
setbacks not from where the right of way is, but from where the reservation
of the dedication line is. So, we are actually more than 10-feet away from
the current right of way is. So, what we did, was we measured from where
the actual roads are and there is a turn lane into the apartment complex we
will have to build will be 27.8 feet from that turn lane and the through lane
that people drive on every day will actually be 38.7-feet from that lane . So,
31
these numbers can be just deceiving sometimes, will be set back from what
the public sees about 38-feet.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, Ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any other questions? Yes, Ms. Klein.
Mr. Nutter: Yes Ma'am.
Ms. Klein: What is the expected rental increase on the new renovated properties.
Mr. Nutter: It is going to vary and I am glad you brought that up because it will be about
$100 to $125 a month increase. The benefit, though, is that the bulk of
these building 12 of these buildings, remain the same. They get redone.
But they are still small, the units are real small, and they still won't have
washers and dryers in the units. So, what we can charge for those the bulk
of those units as you can see, is to be much, much less than what is
available in the marketplace. The higher rents are going to be in the newer
apartments that have 9-foot ceilings, all the goodies and, but everybody
gets to benefit by the amenity packages, everyone gets the benefit of that.
But,what it means is, we will have two different tiers of rents in that complex,
one for the new units which will be more expensive and ones for the older
units, which will still be well under well under the market. In fact, the new
units at The Pearl, at Marina Shores, which is the rent assures a one
bedroom unit is $1790, a two bedroom unit is $2500 a month. We are well
under market out here. Now this isn't on the water, but I would tell you look
at them one by Franklin Johnston, they have already left. A beautiful project
we did for them down at Diamond Springs Road. They are in the $1700, a
month range and they have different variations with one with a den and so
forth, but, basically about $1600 to about $2200 for one to two bedrooms.
So, as you can see, if we increase rents are $100 to $125, we are still well
under marketplace.
Ms. Klein: So, for the older buildings that are being renovated, that is a $100 to $500
increase.
Mr. Nutter: About $100 to $125 somewhere in that range.
32
Ms. Klein: 100 to 125.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, Ma'am, somewhere in that range. And, so, but there will be at least
much nicer, as well.
Ms. Klein: And, how is that compared to the similar complexes in the area.
Mr. Nutter: I do not know, Pleasure House has a lot of small complexes, I do not know
if you have driven down there, but they have a lot of small apartment units
with 6 units, 12 to 18 units and those kinds of things. So, I do not know
what their rent ranges are, I just know that we have to do something to
improve what we see and what we have, that is the biggest problem and
how do you do that financially viable, take care of your tenants, and find out
for their manner and stay within the city's traffic concerns and meet
stormwater requirements and add on additional stormwater requirement
that is about$100,000 extra they are paying just for that additional capacity.
So, it adds up and like I said, but they have done everything you can see to
keep rates as low as again, and to help clients. In fact, they are the only
company I have ever seen, that is helping people pay to move out of their
complex.
Ms. Klein: Thank you.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, Ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Thank you. Can you talk a little bit about the traffic impact.
Mr. Nutter: Thank you. I would be happy to. Ric did a great job on the report by the
way. Ric has a minimal base upon which, if you do not meet X number of
capacity in a roadway, you do not have to do a traffic study. This was under
that level, so, we did not have to do one. But, we went to Ric and said we
would like to do one the neighborhood's going to want one. So, he said let
us assume the following, because you are going to be well under anything
you can do. He said let us assume that you are at a higher density, even
though we lowered it to 435 units. He said we already knew 80% of the
traffic coming out of Windsong goes directly to Shore Drive and 20% goes
out the other way, for whatever reasons, wherever they are going. He said
assume 100% go toward Shore Drive. So, do not give yourself any credit
33
or any traffic generation, by virtue of these there are storage units out there.
So, do not take that into consideration. To make this as worst case scenario
you could possibly have. And, we did that and what he found was that we
would increase the timeline you would be at the intersection Shore Drive
and Pleasure House about 1.9 seconds. So we ran, independent of that, we
said let formula that at the 20% split with 411 units. And, yes, there are
people out there using those storage units. And, it came out to 1.4 seconds
delay there. And, that is why he said there is a measurable difference.
There is no discernible difference in his report. In fact, his report even says,
before we even there is additional capacity on this roadway to staying in the
same level of service. We could add 3662 vehicle trips a day, more than
what this complex has and still be within a capacity of the roadway.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah. Mike do you have a question.
Mr. Inman: Could you tell us what the timeframe is going to be for this development
including the renovation of the existing ones that are going to remain.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, sir. I think the plan was, if this is approved by Council and we go to
Council next month, as you know, we would hope to have site plan approval
in late summer of this year and look at maybe starting the renovations and
demolition because some of the units have to be demolished. So, in those
senses that we will start, probably in the latter part of that this time next
year, if things go well.
Mr. Inman: I mean, completing the entire apartments.
Mr. Nutter: Completing the apartment. One of the detriments of not having your client
right with you and my apologies, I am not sure I know the answer of that.
22 months from start to beginning because of the timeline.
Mr. Inman: Okay. All right. And, as far as this two tiers rent program, I am just curious
as to whether or not Bonaventure has done this in another community
where they have had a mix of brand new and renovated.
Mr. Nutter: This is Jeremy Moss. He is with Bonaventure.
Mr. Inman: I recognize him.
34
Mr. Nutter: Oh, that is right. The question was has Bonaventure done any projects like
this with, old and new components.
Mr. Moss: Good afternoon Madam Chair. My name is Jeremy Moss from Bonaventure
for the record, Mr. Inman we did a similar renovation at the Amber
Apartments, which is on Volvo Parkway in Greenbrier right at the corner of
Eden way. Very, very similar and that we took existing apartment buildings,
renovated them from the inside out and added additional units. So,we have
operated them on a two tiered approach as you described. You know what
is interesting and I heard questions from Commissioner Klein in particular
about the rents, our rents are changed every day as Mr. Nutter described,
they are constrained somewhat by the unit size. So, as we talk about
affordability of units we are really talking about here is a mix of units that is
different than what you are going to find in a brand new apartment complex
and that is part of the reason that we kept the buildings that we kept is to
have that unit mix. I heard concerns about the haves and the have nots.
And, I simply based on my experience in multifamily development, I do not
think that that is going to happen here. We do not have such a varied
difference in unit type, it is the same amenities, it is the same access to
everything, it is simply the unit size and you would not know from going to
the mailboxes whether you have a big unit or a little unit, whether you have
a renovated unit when you are at the pool or whether you are at one of the
newer units. So, yeah, I certainly appreciate and understand those
concerns but I do not know that it is founded.
Mr. Inman: Thank you. Last question I have for R.J. is about tree preservation, what
are you doing on that.
Mr. Nutter: Yes, sir. I will what tell you we did. We went out with actually one of the
members the Civic League, and if the portion property where you see the
single family home if you move to the left of that along there. There is a
large, large stand of existing tall trees along there. Some of them are in this
dedication area we are giving. But we found a large number of them and
these are big trees, these are like 20-inch diameter trees and larger. We
found about seven to eight of those can stay and our goal was to have when
you look down Pleasure House Road to really see pretty much the same
thing you are seeing with the exception of that one new building, which is
three stories, and that is about where the Tranquility units as you may know
Mr. Inman, are two and three-story units, mostly three-story units. So, just
like them and, but to see this large stand of trees out there. And, that was
35
the goal of the tree preservation. Also they asked us to identify the tree
preservation along Northampton Boulevard all of those trees along there
you see the different colored lien, if you will, versus the old versus the new
in the plan, those will be preserved as well.
Mr. Inman: Yes, sir. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Any more questions, Mr. Nutter. Yes, Jack.
Mr. Wall: So, my question is what are the constraints of redeveloping this property of
from what I have heard that and what I have understood over the years is
that Shore Drive and Pleasure House Area is a fairly desirable area to live,
the constraints of redeveloping it within the zoning that is existing.
Mr. Nutter: Well, this has the strangest zoning I have ever seen on it today, it has a
combination of R-10, R-7.5, A-12, and A-24. I am not sure the history of
that by the way. But, I would tell you that we have kept the density as low
as we can to be able to do with it that is why we have reduced it from our
original application from 435 to 411. So, we have kept that as low as we
could and we also kept the matter of new construction to a minimum and
this as well to also keep down costs.
Ms. Oliver: Anyone else. No, thank you Mr. Nutter.
Mr. Nutter: Ma'am Chair, my pleasure.
Ms. Oliver: All right, this hearing is now closed and we will open it up for discussion
amongst the Commissioners.
Mr. Redmond: Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. First off, I would like to thank everybody
for being here today. I know it is been a long afternoon requiring a lot of
patience and I appreciate folks taking time out of their workday to be here
and those folks who joined us on WebEx and those who are watching us on
VBTV. We do appreciate your participation. I want to correct a couple
misrepresentations, because I think that is important. The site is not being
rezone to A-36, I got dozens of emails telling me do not rezone this A-36, it
is being rezone to a portion of which A-36 is less than half. So, let us start
with that, it would be an A-28 site. The A-36 in fact would be pushed up
against Northampton Boulevard where trucks rumble off the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge tunnel, it is not a meandering country lane. It is one of the
36
largest and most industrial oriented roadways, certainly in Virginia Beach.
So, and that is why those buildings are set that way, so, I think we have to
look at that realistically and accurately. Pleasure House Road does not
operate at a level of service E. Pleasure House Road operates level of
service E in the evening peak hour, which is to say, rush hour. I do not know
an intersection in Virginia Beach, which at rush hour is not crowded, in the
entire United States that is not crowded, so, that ought not be a surprise. I
think, but it ought to be represented accurately. It is not the case, manifestly
not the case that a site that has never had stormwater control, and then get
stormwater control to the very high standards that we set today. And, not
only that but then a greater contribution on that, will be worse for stormwater
than it was, than it is today. I mean that is just not, I mean, water is wet, the
sky is blue. I can understand those things and I can understand that
something that does not have anything but then it has much greater is going
to be a contribution in that regard. So, I think there is all things that we have
to keep in mind, they are as clear as the sun comes up tomorrow morning.
Those are facts that we know. I think we have to keep in mind what
Windsong is today, Windsong in my view is one rung on the ladder above
blight. This is a very old, very rundown property with few amenities, if any.
It is a site that is ripe for redevelopment, okay. This is not greenfield
development,we are an infill development that is whatever a 15-acre parcel.
You know that is pasture land or something. It is a very rough site in a very
wonderful neighborhood, okay. But, it is proposed to be redeveloped and
revitalized as a residential project. These projects in my mind are the least
impactful use, drop a Home Depot on 15 acres. Drop a Target on 15 acres
and see what traffic would be if something like that were proposed we would
all freak out, it is not it is just a place where people live, and I will bet you, if
this is successful, and it is constructed, we would hardly notice the impact
on traffic, and the idea that little babies are going to be run over in the street
because the traffic will be so giant an increase is just ludicrous, it is just
made up. So, let us go back and start now, we have Windsong, it is one
rung on the ladder in my view, above blight. What is proposed here is an
improvement in a number of very substantial ways, it improves stormwater,
it improves the community by virtue not just at the aesthetics, it looks a lot
better than a whole bunch of stuff on Pleasure House Road. If you look at
these renderings and you look at the design, it is a very high quality
development, there is no question about it amenities and all. What then
would be the objection to it, so far as I can tell when you sort through all
those misrepresentations, I think that really is an issue with some folks is
the density. But that is just a concept, what I want to know is what is the
37
impact of that, what is the significance of that. To hear the Staff tell it, the
intersection we are speaking of Pleasure House Road and Shore Drive,well
the intersection operates over capacity at a level of service E, in the evening
peak hour. The additional apartment units will not result in a significant
increase in vehicle delay or queuing. The engineering staff review the
analysis and concur with the finding so it is not going to hurt traffic, says in
the report does not have a significant impact on schools. It is not upon
Pleasure House Road the A-36, it is back against Northhampton Boulevard
which is not a bucolic meandering country road. So, I do not really see what
the impact is that we should fear, but it greatly lifts up a very banged up old
property and revitalizes a part of the city and very frankly we need way,way,
way more of it in the city and we will see more of it, there is no question.
And, it is the single best way we have of revitalizing the city of addressing
stormwater and of lifting people up in various places. So, from a land use
perspective, which is what we do here. We do not count up what rents are
and whether or not people should pay more rent or that should pay less and
from a land use perspective if we look at it from that point of view, I cannot
get around that. I do not see what the negative impact is that would cause
me to want to throw out those benefits which are clear and identifiable. So,
we have been through and I have been to two Civic League meetings, I
have had I don't know how many conversations on the telephone with these
people. At the end of the day, you still get back to that calculation. And, it
seems to be there are a lot more things lining up in the pro-column than line
up in the con-column. So, I would argue that on balance. You know this is
a fine project, I do not know anyone that is perfect. I do not know what they
are keeping that little house for it, it just does not seem to make any sense
to me. Be that is it may I am going to recommend that we that we
recommend approval on this application, and I will certainly support it.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Well, before I give it to Mike, I think, my understanding was and R.J. you
can correct me if I am wrong about the little house just, so, that we have
that on the list because I was going to bring that up with Mr. Nutter that it
was asked by the Civic League not to tear it down so that the street when
you went down it looked as it always had along with the trees and the house.
Mr. Redmond: I am saying it is not perfect. I object that is the plan that they have
proposed, but that looks to me like the spot zoning on this site right. It is a
kind of thought thing that sticks out like what's weird about the site.
38
Ms. Oliver: But it was the developer agreed to keep the house there versus tearing it
down, so, that when everybody went down Pleasure House Road it
continued to look as it was originally.
Mr. Nutter: We are keeping the zoning on that R-7.5 as well.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: I agree with what Dave has said overall I want to emphasize a couple points.
First of all, I got to say to you that we have tremendous amount of staff
analysis, we have staff and analysis of reports generated by the applicant,
that they have reviewed and found acceptable and valid. We need to rely
on that we have heard some of the opponents to indicate that they do not
think they are valid, but I understand maybe they do not, but I want to rely
on what we know from our staff. And, unless proven wrong by someone
and the stormwater aspect of it is so important to the city and the stormwater
requirements, that we have in the city now are very, very strenuous, very
difficult to achieve and expensive, and we should be so happy that we have
a developer who is going to come in and take a site that is got a lot of
impervious surface and manage it. From a stormwater standpoint it is going
to be very expensive to do that, no matter what happens to this property in
terms of redevelopment that is going to be a component of it and it is
expensive to do. This project is in need of renovation for sure, I do not think
anybody disagrees with that, or everybody agrees on that. The aesthetics
that are being achieved by the renovation is a benefit to community,
generally and to the Chicks Beach community for sure. The last thing I think
is that the affordable housing aspect, we critically need affordable housing
in Virginia Beach, I think that this provides a level of affordable housing that
is important. It may not be the most affordable housing in Virginia Beach,
but it is going to be quality affordable housing in that category. And, I think
this developer has gone a long way to work with the community, work with
the Chicks Beach community, and work with the Staff to achieve what I
would hope to be a big plus for the area. Thanks.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: So, I agree with Mr. Inman and Mr. Redmond. I have known about this for
a while and I think it is been up for a while in that timeframe, but one of the
biggest things that has stuck with me when this first came out, is kind of the
only thing we should be thinking about is an apartment complex with 139
39
units, because this existing ones been there for so long now. And, another
thing we need to think about in the City of Virginia Beach is really no new
places to build,we have to redevelop, and this is a perfect spot to redevelop,
they are going to fix up the old place and build new. When it comes to
drainage and water, what has to be done with this is beyond us, I mean this
is all state regulated, all the new conditions that need to be done, and it
need to be followed. It is superb, but it is not just going to help this place, it
is going to help out Chicks Beach. And, I know it is hard to understand that
and I am sure a lot of you do understand that but it is in the future, I think
things are going to get better. I am going to keep this short but I am going
to support this also.
Ms. Oliver: Go, ahead. Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Okay. The stormwater regulations that that changed in July of 2014 are
very strict. And, to see that this developers not only meet what he has to
do or they have to do the new stormwater. They have to abide by the new
stormwater regulations but to go even beyond that with water quality and
water quantity. I think it is a big plus for the community. And, I really
appreciate and I understand the community's concerns, but I just do not
agree with them, I have lived in Virginia Beach most of my life and I love
that area over there and I tell you this apartment community is in need of
renovation. And, this is a very attractive project. It really is. And, to know
that it is going to take care of stormwater regulations, beyond the
regulations and they have proffer number two, it caps the number of units
that they can have at 411, so, I know that there is concern about that but
they are proffering that. So, I am going to support this project, things evolve
and you want them to evolve and this is a good project for the community
and for the city, so anyway, I am going to support this.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: I agree that the complex is in desperate need of renovation and that the
current plan is very attractive, I hear the concerns of the Civic League
residents regarding traffic and density and also noted that none of those are
in favor of our neighbors. My greatest concerns are those shared by the
pastor, I know the difference of $100 per month increase in expenses can
make on a monthly budget. I appreciate Bonaventure efforts to assist with
the wellbeing of their tenants including their partnership with Catholic
Charities. However I am a social worker also on a nonprofit salary. I
40
engage with clients who do not have the luxury of choices and I remain
concerned about those residents for that reason I plan to vote against.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: I think that the members of the Civic League in the opposition were very
well spoken. They had very solid and very sound arguments. Concerning
existing zoning and I really appreciate that they pointed out that piece right
out of our zoning ordinance concerning A-24 and in the A-36 zoning. But, I
think that this development and the density, it helps justify updating and
modernizing existing and ageing apartment buildings. I think that the
architecture is very sound, very desirable. And, I think it can add value to
the community. So, also the traffic, I know traffic was an issue and it is an
issue. I know that you know the heavily traffic corridor of Shore Drive can
be a challenge to navigate through, but I think that the analysis that was
down was acceptable. I do not see it necessarily setting a precedence but
if it does then maybe it is not such a bad precedent that it sets and the
redevelopment of complex. So, I am in favor and aye vote.

BONAVENTURE
MEMORANDUM
To: City of Virginia Beach Planning Staff
From: Jeremy R. Moss, Esq., Vice President of Investments
Date: December 9, 2020
Re: Parking Analysis - Redevelopment of Windsong Apartments
On behalf of Collier& Associates, L.P. (Applicant and Owner), we offer the following information
to supplement the application for Conditional Rezoning related to the Windsong Apartments.'
The concept plan submitted with the Conditional Rezoning application provides 695 parking
spaces (including 30 carport or covered spaces), an amount we have found to be more than
sufficient for residential use.
In response to discussions with Planning Staff and comments raised previously by citizens, we
performed a parking study of similar Bonaventure-owned and managed properties within
Hampton Roads. In order to maximize the number of spaces in use during our parking study,
parking counts were performed at 10PM on a weeknight in the month of June at the following
properties (selected as comparables to Windsong):
Promenade Pointe (Norfolk, VA)
Infinity (Virginia Beach, VA)
Pinnacle (Hampton, VA)
Aura at Quarterpath (Williamsburg, VA)
Windsong - Current (Virginia Beach, VA)
Comparable developments were carefully selected to ensure sufficient similarities with
Windsong. These apartment communities consist of low to mid-rise buildings (three or four
stories), surface parking lots, and are located in suburban settings without mass transit.
Properties are at least half a mile from public transportation (Windsong is 0.8 miles from public
transportation) and no less than 0.7 miles from retail (Windsong is 0.8 miles from retail).

The parking study confirmed anecdotal information previously provided. First, the gross demand
for parking at the existing Windsong Apartments equates to a 1.17 parking space per unit ratio.
The study confirmed this ratio to be consistent with similarly situated, Bonaventure-owned
apartment communities throughout Hampton Roads, which showed the demand to be between
1.03 to 1.22 parking spaces per unit.
The application includes a proffered parking ratio of 1.69 parking spaces per unit, a ratio in
excess of the historical parking use experienced by similar properties within the Bonaventure
portfolio and permitted by the PD-H2 overlay.

Subject: I Support the Rezoning of Windsong Apartments
Hello David,
My name is Dan McNamara and I am a current resident (renter) in Chic's Beach. I saw some posts on social media of the
rezoning of Windsong apartments to A-36 and thought I should mention I support the rezoning.
There are very few high-density or high-end apartment options in the area. Creating more apartment options and more
people in the area is attractive to renters and businesses who love this area. Not to mention, my sister and parents both
own properties in the area and I believe this could only increase property value.
I do not believe Virginia Beach has been typically attractive for businesses to invest in with the apparent resident
opposition to development. Virginia Beach will need to adapt as many of our own (as I have seen growing up here) love
the area, but to another city hub for job opportunities. I support high density developments,for this area at least, and
believe it is a necessary policy change for Virginia Beach to grow.
Thank you,
Dan McNamara

Windsong renovation support message
As a Chesapeake Beach homeowner & resident since the nineties,
neighborhood improvements take precedence. I am quite familiar with
Windsong Apartments. They were built in 1970, are extremely dated and in
dire need of current city codes and a storm management system. This
renovation is welcomed by neighbors needing to downsize but want to stay
at Chesapeake Beach. Additionally, as a real estate agent, I fail to see any
realistic or logical opposition to community and property value
improvements, especially from our neighbors. Thank you for your time and
attention to this crucial need in our community.

I believe Bonaventure Inc statements to the residents of Chesapeake Beach have been not in good faith. They have

zoning codes do not apply to their projects (such as parking requirements).

I have never gotten involved with local zoning decisions or local government before. Rather I am a senior federal
government employee who relocated here years ago with my husband to enjoy more of the outdoors and the healthy
lifestyle you all have preserved here. I still commute up a couple of days a week but it is worth if for what I come home
to. As Va Beach expands, we are likely the type of people you want coming in because of our willingness to invest in
the community and fully appreciate it.
We looked all over Va Beach going into 32 homes before trying Chic's Beach at the end and committing. We bought
the new construction across from HK's restaurant and embraced the bustle of this active community. Strollers and
skateboards and now golf carts crossing and lots of walkers in high season and holidays. Both my husband and I
volunteered for positions with the Civic League and met lifetime friends as a result. This year we decided to rent out
that home because we saw a house available on Lake Joyce behind us, officially Baylake Pines.
This Bonaventure expansion proposed to A36 zoning in the Windsong space off of Pleasure House Rd is very concerning
for a number of reasons:
1
1. You will be redirecting all of the storm runoff previously split with Lake Bradford to Lake Joyce only with a planned
increase in impervious ground.cover. In one fell swoop (pun and visual intended)you all may decimate the bird
sanctuary we have at Lake Joyce. I have plenty of pictures including an American Bald Eagle walking up to my window
last month and two have been looking to build a nest in one of our trees. Per the vbgov site the impact is as
follows. https://www.vbgov.com/government/departments/planning/boards-commissions-
committees/Documents/CBPA/CBPA%20Applications/2018-PCD-PA-CBPA-Application%20WQIA.pdf
RAINWATER INFILTRATION and STORMWATER RUN-OFF "Nonpoint source pollution generally results from land runoff,precipitation,atmospheric
deposition,drainage,seepage or hydrologic modification.Nonpoint pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground.As the runoff moves,it
picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants,finally depositing them into lakes,rivers,wetlands,coastal waters and ground waters.Nonpoint source
pollution can include excess fertilizers,herbicides and insecticides;oil,grease and chemicals from urban runoff;sediment from improperly managed construction sites and
eroding shorelines;pet waste and faulty septic systems;and atmospheric deposition[US Environmental Protection Agency.(2016).Polluted runoff:nonpoint source
pollution]."
2. The proposal is totally inconsistent with previous planning you all have approved and you cannot undo it
afterwards. A36 is supposed to be for in-filling only and there is no precedent for A36 our side of the Lesner
Bridge. We are not a designated Strategic Growth area because overall our community invests in itself to ensure
property values are preserved and proper improvements made. Contractors are kept busy and renovations abound. It
was recognized before that with limited ingress/egress north of Shore Drive, zoning had to be less to ensure emergency
services could respond effectively.
3. We do not have any infrastructure to support the extra load proposed here (almost 300 more units meaning 600+
bedrooms and likely 800 additional cars on the road). Our residents already need to use routes back through the
community to exit at peak times. You all responded by taking cars off the street by allowing golf carts and are adding
sidewalks soon. These plans will help ensure safety for the numbers we currently support but not if this expansion is
approved. In one fell swoop the golf cart, walking and biking community you created will crumble.
4. There is no demand for expansion of rental properties in this area driving this. You all have approved recently
hundreds of new rental units at Marina Shores and more at East Beach. Overture sits mostly empty. This presents as a
greedy financial decision only,throwing the prosperity of our community under the bus. We will be left with dirty
water in our Lake, cursing traffic on our streets, danger for strollers and pedestrians and golf carts at our intersections.
5. The precedent set by A36 will impact the Shore Drive Community forever. Many others will follow unless we stop
this now.
I believe I moved into a better city than that. Modernization is a goal we can all agree with. We see owner-occupied as
a better fit than rental for this area. We are happy to work together on solutions but this proposal is not it. This
builder in my opinion has not been honest so for me personally this builder is not it. The Planning Commission and the
City Council will live with these decisions forever. Please give this real consideration. The birds and the wildlife will not
come back once gone. Taking the buildings back down will not be an option. Per my research Virginia Beach has
identified Strategic Growth Areas that may cost the city because homes are getting older and they are not being
maintained. Owners are not around or they are giving up. Those communities do not have the community that we
do. Instead everyone living here just marvels at how much they love it and how they wouldn't choose to live anywhere
else. Few things could ruin that for us and turn our neighborhood too into a liability. This decision could.

As a longtime resident and homeowner (35 years) of Chesapeake Beach we are very much opposed
to the rezoning and huge expansion of Windsong apartments. Over the years we have seen a lot of
changes in traffic flow and other negative impacts on our community. It is getting more and more
difficult for us to exit our community by way of Pleasure House Road and additional traffic would be a
disaster for us homeowners. Plus all of the other negative impacts that will affect this community are
totally unacceptable. Please help us to preserve our community.

Subject:Windsong Apartments Rezoning
To those concerned:
I am a Chesapeake Beach resident and I oppose the developers' request to increase density and rezone Windsong
Apartments on Pleasure House Road to A-36.
I believe that increasing housing density at Windsong will have some of the following negative effects on the Chic's
Beach community:
• Increased traffic on Pleasure House Road
• Increased backups at the Shore Drive/Pleasure House Road traffic lights
• Increased storm water pollution/runoff into Lake Joyce
• More police/ EMT personnel will be needed for the added population
This request for rezoning would set a precedent for over-development of other housing complexes in the area. Other
apartment complexes are zoned at A-24.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

I am a resident and property owner in Chesapeake Beach aka Chic's Beach. I am writing to inform
you that I adamantly oppose to the rezoning application for Windsong Apts or any other similar zoning
request for our area. The density of our neighborhood is already at a level that affects our quality of
life, as well as the safety of our residents. Traffic cannot be increased for the infrastructure we
currently have on place, Not to mention destroying the quaintness and desirability of our charming
neighborhood. By approving addtional multi-family/duplexes to be built, you are taking away the
UniquenessWhich makes our community so special. Please at-least consider future approvals for
building that does allow contractors to continue to get variances and building permits where it
removes the nature of our green properties that are left!
(A good example is the property on Chubb Lake that was recently sold to a builder and soon to
begin destruction That will tear down all the trees, fill-in the drainage area that has an important roll
to adjacent properties, just to Squeeze in several-family homes). The builders are only interested in
making money, NOT providing a quality home for a family while allowing for the property to remain a
part of the charm it now holds.
Sincerely,
Cathy Baber

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.
I own property at 2316 Brigadoon Ct., and it is with great dismay that I've learned of another proposal to not only add to
Windsong Apts., but to build more apartments in Chic's Beach.
I grew up here and have witnessed the continuous growth which has resulted in overcrowding and more congestion on
Pleasure House Rd.
To build even more apts would result in such congestion,traffic would be impeded greatly. This area is already past its
maximum capacity for a good quality of life for our residents. Please reconsider, and, perhaps construct a few duplexes.

The traffic is all ready to heavy on Pleasure House Road, we have way to many problems dealing
with flooding and storm water runoff, sets precedence for neighboring complexes To
overdevelopment and it violates Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan!

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: PERFORMANCE COLLISION CENTERS, LLC [Applicant] CITY OF VIRGINIA
BEACH [Property Owner] Conditional Change of Zoning (R-5D Residential
District &A-12 Apartment District to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District),
Conditional Use Permit (Automotive Repair Garage)for the property located
at 212 Fair Lady Road (GPIN 1497935053). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is seeking a conditional rezoning of a 2.76-acre, City-owned parcel
from R-5D Residential District and A-12 Apartment District to Conditional 1-1 Light
Industrial District, as well as a Conditional Use Permit for an Automotive Repair
Garage in order to construct a 15,000 square foot auto collision center at the
southwest corner of the London Bridge Road/Potters Road intersection.
The site is currently vacant. A portion of the site was acquired as part of the City's
acquisition program to prevent further development of incompatible uses in the
Accident Potential Zone 1 surrounding NAS Oceana. The remainder of the site is
residual property from the London Bridge Road project.
The applicant proposes to offer repair services such as auto dent and removal,
paintless dent and removal, as well as bumper, windshield, fender, auto glass, and
weather damage repair.All repair will occur inside of the building. Vehicles awaiting
repair or customer pick up will be temporarily parked in the enclosed parking lot in
the rear of the site. Condition 5 is recommended to ensure that towing of vehicles
to the site will be limited to no earlier than 6:00 a.m. and no later than 8:00 p.m.
The proffered elevations depict a one-story building with exterior building materials
of white composite board and batten siding with white and gray architectural metal
siding accents, and awnings above the windows. Three glass overhead garage
doors are proposed, one facing Potters Road and two facing south, towards the
parking lot at the rear of the building. The concept plan depicts the required 25-
foot wide, Category II landscape buffer abutting the residentially zoned property to
the south. A 20-foot wide, rather than the minimum 10-foot wide, Category VI
landscape buffer with a six-foot tall solid privacy fence is proposed along Fair Lady
Road and London Bridge Road to provide extra screening for the parking lot in the
rear of the site.
Performance Collision Centers, LLC
Page 2 of 4
• Considerations:
As the property is within the highest noise zone of >75 dB Ldn and within the
Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZ-1), the Comprehensive Plan recommends "low
intensity light industrial uses and limited retail with significant buffers to shield
neighborhoods from possible intrusive impacts." This proposed Automotive Repair
Garage will provide the required landscape buffer, in most cases, exceeding the
landscaping requirements. In addition, the APZ-1/Clear Zone Master Plan is an
adopted component of the Comprehensive Plan that provides guidance for
development in the Accident Potential and Clear Zones surrounding NAS Oceana.
The applicant's proposal to rezone the undeveloped lot from an incompatible
residential zoning to compatible light industrial zoning meets these objectives. The
automotive repair facility is identified as a land use suitable on properties affected
by the AICUZ's APZ-1/Clear Zone delineations surrounding NAS Oceana.
The recommended conditions, along with the proffers, are designed to address
potential negative impacts to surrounding properties. These include limitations to
hours of operation of repair and towing services, design and height of signage,
location and amount of plantings, specific details on architectural style and building
materials, and limitations to outdoor activities (repair work and storage of
materials).
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report. Two letters of support and three letters of
opposition were received by Staff. There were two speakers in opposition at the
Planning Commission public hearing who voiced concern about the potential noise
and other negative impacts associated with the intrusion of large and noisy
vehicles operating on the site, fear of negative impact to appeal of neighborhood,
and availability of vacant industrially-zoned properties in the vicinity.
The applicant held a virtual Zoom meeting with property owners in the immediate
vicinity of the site. Of the 14 property owners who indicated their intent to
participate in the meeting, eight were actually in attendance. According to the
applicant, the majority of those in attendance were opposed to the project due to
the increased traffic on Fair Lady Road and possible noise associated with the
proposed auto repair operation.
• Recommendation:
On December 9, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 7-2.
The following conditions apply to the Conditional Use Permit. The proposed
proffers are attached.
1 . The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits for the installation of a paint
booth for the proposed use. If the required permits for the paint booth are not
Performance Collision Centers, LLC
Page 3 of 4
obtained, the painting of vehicles shall be prohibited on the site.
2. Vehicles under repair must be stored/kept inside of the building at all times
while under repair.
3. The garage bay doors shall remain closed during the hours of operation, except
for the ingress and egress of vehicles.
4. Hours of operation shall be limited to 7:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
5. The towing of vehicles to the site shall be limited to no earlier than 6:00 a.m.
and no later than 8:00 p.m.
6. There shall be no outside storage of equipment, parts, tires, or materials.
7. No motor vehicle repair work shall take place outside of the building.
8. No motor vehicles shall be parked within any portion of the public right-of-way.
9. All on-site signage must meet the requirements and regulations of the Zoning
Ordinance. A separate permit from the Department of Planning & Community
Development is required for any new signage installed on the site.
10.There shall be no signs that contain or consist of pennants, ribbons, streamers,
spinners, strings of light bulbs, or other similar moving devices on the site or on
the vehicles. There shall be no signs which are painted, pasted, or attached to
the windows, utility poles, trees, or fences, or in an unauthorized manner to
walls or other signs.
11.There shall be no portable or nonstructural signs or electronic display signs on
the site.
12.All outdoor lighting shall be shielded to direct light and glare onto the premises;
said lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded, and focused away from
adjoining property. Any outdoor lighting fixtures shall not be erected any higher
than 14 feet.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting to rezone a 2.76-acre parcel from R-5D Residential District and A-12 Apartment District
to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial to construct a 15,000 square foot auto collision center, which requires a
Conditional Use Permit for an Automotive Repair Garage.
• The site is currently vacant. A portion of the site was acquired as part of the City's acquisition program to prevent
further development of incompatible uses in the APZ-1 Accident Potential Zone surrounding NAS Oceana. The
remainder of the site is residual property from the London Bridge Road project.
• The applicant proposes to offer repair services such as auto dent and removal, paintless dent and removal,as well as
bumper,windshield,fender, auto glass, and weather damage repair.
• The vehicles will be inside of the building at all times while under repair.Vehicles awaiting repair, arrival of a part,or
pick up by the customer will be temporarily parked in the enclosed parking lot in the rear of the site. Condition 5 is
recommended to ensure that towing of vehicles to the site will be limited to no earlier than 6:00 a.m.and no later
than 8:00 p.m. Storage of materials will also be limited to inside the building.
• The collision center building is proposed to be constructed in the front of the property,facing London Bridge Road,
with parking spaces available for customers and guests; however,the majority of the parking will be situated in the
rear of the building for vehicles awaiting repair and customer pick-up.Two gates are proposed to be installed to
limit customer traffic to the rear of the property and to provide security.Two vehicular ingress/egress access points
along Fair Lady Road are depicted on the submitted plan. However,the northern entrance is the main ingress/egress
access point for this site.
• As depicted on the elevations,the exterior façade of the proposed one-story building will be constructed of white
composite board and batten siding with white and gray architectural metal siding accents.Awnings will be placed
over the windows and three glass overhead garage doors are proposed.There will be one overhead garage door
facing Potters Road and the other two overhead doors will be located in the rear of the building facing the rear
parking lot.A dumpster is proposed in the rear of the parking lot adjacent to the proposed stormwater facility and
will be fully enclosed with composite board and siding,as shown on page 13 of this report.
• A monument style sign is proposed at the corner of Potters Road and London Bridge Road.An aluminum based sign
with the business logo is proposed.The sign will consist of blue and black lettering with a light gray background, as
depicted on page 12 of this report.
• The submitted plan depicts the required 25-foot wide, Category II landscape buffer abutting the residentially zoned
property to the south.A 20-foot wide, rather than the minimum 10-foot wide, Category VI landscape buffer with a
six-foot tall solid privacy fence will be installed along Fair Lady Road and London Bridge Road to provide extra
screening for the parking lot in the rear of the site.The proposed landscaping appears to meet, and in some
instances exceed,the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance; however,a more detailed review of all screening and
planting requirements will occur during final site plan review.
• Per Section 203 of the City Zoning Ordinance,an Automotive Repair Garage requires one space per 900 square feet
of floor area,which in this instance results in 17 parking spaces for this 15,000 square foot building.The site layout
depicts 93 parking spaces,exceeding the minimum parking requirement by 76 spaces.
• According to the application,the Automobile Repair Garage operation will have approximately 18 employees.The
typical hours of operation are 7:30 a.m.to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request to rezone the 2.76 acre parcel from R-5D Residential District and A-12 Apartment District to Conditional I-1
Light Industrial District to construct a 15,000 square foot auto collision center is acceptable.
This Conditional Use Permit request for an Automotive Repair Garage, in Staff's view, is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's policies and land use goals for the Suburban Area. For areas,such as this,within a high AICUZ and
within or in close proximity to an Accident Potential Zone,the Comprehensive Plan recommends "low intensity light
industrial uses and limited retail with significant buffers to shield neighborhoods from possible intrusive impacts.This
proposed Automotive Repair Garage will provide the required landscape buffer, in most cases,exceeding the
landscaping requirements. In addition,the APZ-1/CZ Master Plan is an adopted component of the Comprehensive Plan
that provides guidance for development in the Accident Potential and Clear Zones surrounding NAS Oceana.The
applicant's proposal to rezone the undeveloped lot from an incompatible residential zoning to compatible light industrial
zoning meets these objectives.The automotive repair facility is identified as a land use suitable on properties affected by
the AICUZ's APZ-1/Clear Zone delineations surrounding NAS Oceana.
The submitted building elevations depict an aesthetically pleasing building constructed using high quality building
materials.The proposed landscape buffer and the fact that all work will be conducted within the building will help
minimize negative impacts to the surrounding residential neighborhood.The applicant considered the proximity to the
residential dwellings to the west when developing the site and has worked to heavily landscape the site to provide
screening for the vehicles that will be parked in the rear of the site closest to the adjacent neighborhood.The proposed
bay doors face south and do not have any direct residential exposure.A condition is recommended that requires the
garage bay doors to remain closed during the hours of operation, except for the ingress and egress of vehicles,to further
mitigate noise. In addition,the outdoor lighting proposed for the site will be shielded to direct light downward onto the
property and away from adjoining property owners, at a height of 14-feet to reduce spillover.
London Bridge Road is identified as an access control road and access is not permitted due to the traffic impacts.
Vehicular access can only be safely accomdated on Fair Lady Road.Traffic Engineering Staff noted during the review that
the existing right turn lane is too short to meet the criteria for entrances located within a right turn lane.To address this
issue,the applicant reconfigured the entrance to provide an extended right turn lane with 50-feet of separation from
Performance Collision Centers, LLC
Agenda Items 2&3
Page 3
the bay taper before the return.This an important reconfiguration as it provides safety for all those traveling along Fair
Lady Road.
As required, a stormwater management facility is proposed to capture and treat the stormwater runoff from this
project.The approach will be reviewed in more detail during final site plan review.
As mentioned previously,the proposed Automotive Repair Garage exceeds the parking requirements of Section 203 of
the Zoning Ordinance which requires one space per 900 square feet of floor area.There should be no overflow of
vehicles onto the street of the adjacent neighborhood,as there is more than enough parking on site to accommodate
customers and vehicles awaiting repair.
As the property has remained vacant for years, undeniably there will be impacts during and after construction to the
surrounding property owners.To ensure that this impact is minimal,the proffers and recommended conditions have
been tailored to ameliorate those impacts.Those include:garage doors closed other than for ingress/egress from the
building to mitigate noise,directing the light on the property downward not to shine into the adjacent properties
homes, limiting the hours of towed vehicles to the site, and by heavily landscaping the site to provide screening to
adjoining property owners.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of these requests subject to the proffers and conditions
below.
Proffers

Performance Collision Centers, LLC [Applicant] City of Virginia Beach [Owner]
Conditional Rezoning (A-12 Apartment District & R5-D Residential District to
Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District)
Conditional Use Permit (Automotive Repair Garage)
212 Fair Lady Road
December 9, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL — HEARD
Ms. Dozier: Items number 2 and 3 is a Conditional Rezoning on property located at 212
Fair Lady Road. Is the applicant present or the applicant's representative?
Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Bourdon: Madam Chair and Members of the Commission for the record Eddie
Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney representing Performance Collision
Center, with me today is Mr. Don Smith, Vice President of Corporation,
Barry Frankenfield who is the landscape consultant on the project, he was
supposed to be here, may be here outside I am not sure. This application
involves a property, containing 2.76 acres, that was assembled by the City.
It is in the APZ-1 accident potential zone number one, and the highest noise
zone proximate to NAS Oceana. The City acquired this property, using
taxpayer funds to help protect Oceana from encroachment. This property
is located at the intersection of Potters Road and London Bridge Road, also
is adjacent on the west side to Fair Lady Road. For those of you who may
not be aware of this, Fair Lady Road was the London Bridge Road, which
was a significant two lane arterial roadway in Princess Anne County and the
City of Virginia Beach, for a century. It became Fair Lady Road in 2003 and
2004 with the new London Bridge Road that we all drive and know where
that is, but prior to that time it was an extremely busy, two lane arterial
London Bridge that being what is now Fair Lady Road. I want to thank Staff
and most particularly Marchelle Coleman for their work with us on this
project. You see up there the project property is basically a triangle. There
are no adjacent residential properties, there are properties across Fair Lady
formerly London Bridge Road from the property. The proposal is to
construct a 15,000 square foot one-story building in which all the office
functions and work on vehicles and storage of any manner will occur. All
behind closed doors and no vehicle per the lengthy list of conditions that is
under the state of being repaired can be stored outside. If it is vehicles being
1
worked on, it has to stay inside at all times until it is completed. The building
itself has high quality exterior building materials, as well as architecture with
white board and batten siding with white and gray architectural metal siding
accents and shutters. There are three glass overhead garage doors, one
facing Potters Road, two facing due south in the back. There is customer
parking provided in front of the building between the building's frontage and
Potters Road, and there is a large parking area in the rear. That area is
completely fenced. There is a six-foot mandatory vinyl fence around the
entirety of that lot, and there are also gates to that, which I will talk about in
a second. The fencing is set back over 25-feet from London Bridge Road,
it set back 20 feet from Fair Lady. On the Fair Lady side, it is heavily, heavily
landscaped. And, it is also very well landscaped on the property itself on
all other sides of it. The two access points for City's requirements are on
Fair Lady, the primary one being the northern one. There is a gate between
the western side of the building that closes off the rear parking area and
there is also a gate that will close off the secondary entrance exit, more than
entrance on the southern end of the frontage on Fair Lady. The per
condition no vehicles can be delivered to this site or removed for the site for
that matter between the hours of 6:00 in the morning and 8:00 at night. The
gates will be locked and there will be no access other than the fire
department. The operation of the business, not just the building will be
between 07:30 in the morning and 6:00 in the evening on six days of the
week. The business, it is a one story building the business, if it is as
successful we hope it will be, there will be probably an average of three
vehicles, being brought to the site on a daily basis, some days more, some
days less but over the course of a year probably around three maybe three
or four vehicles a day for work, all of which has to be performed by condition,
inside the building with all of the doors to remain closed. The business will
employ 18 people at max, I forgot to mention too, there is a dumpster on
the property, the dumpster is within the fenced area in the back at the south
east corner of the lot, it is furthest away from Fair Lady and inside the lot
that is fenced and landscaped on the outside. We have got landscaping
around the dumpster enclosure inside the enclosed lot itself, so, you cannot
get more enclosed for a dumpster to meeting again, meeting all
requirements the landscaping we believe exceeds all requirements and we
know that the setback on the Fair Lady side exceeds what is required and
the width of the landscape buffer exceeds what is required. As I mentioned
at the beginning, the property is in APZ-1 highest noise zone. The property
used to be a trailer park, Mr. De Hart had a house on the corner on Potters
Road where the house was part of most of the road is now. But, where this
is was a trailer park and not a particularly nice one either back in the day, I
2
had the privilege my Uncle and Aunt lived on the opposite side of what was
then London Bridge Road from this property for many, many decades for
the past. All the conditions that Staff has recommended on the use permit
are acceptable for my client. It is also heavily proffered as you all know,
Staff has recommended approval. We hope that you will see fit to make the
same recommendation to City Council, I would be happy to answer any
questions that you may have.
Ms. Oliver: Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Burdon. No, thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you very much.
Ms. Dozier: We have two speakers on this item.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. And, before we get started, I just want everybody to be mindful there
is a three minute time limit on speakers and so just be cognizant of that as
you start. Thank you.
Ms. Dozier: Susan Betts.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will state your name for the record, please.
Ms. Betts: My name is Susan Betts. And, I just wanted to say, I have resided on Casey
Court for 10 years. I am a little nervous. I have never been in this situation
before but as long as I have lived there, there has never been a trailer park
on that parcel of land and this is a community of neighbors, and families
who walk their pets and children down that street and where school buses
come. It is zoned residential I do believe now and zoning it industrial will
bring tow trucks and rollbacks down a street that you know in a quiet
neighborhood where we have London Bridge Boulevard already. And,
further down the street is already zoned industrial and I am under the
impression they already are off of Central Drive, so, I am not sure why they
have to relocate, but it is definitely not going to help the curb appeal in our
neighborhood where our families and children and pets go. And they have
to come in on Fair Lady and not London Bridge which is already busy and I
do remember too when it was one lane both ways before the on ramp came
to right there where they build the on ramp, which makes it nice but there is
already a lot of traffic down there, so, I do not see how that is going to help.
And, I do not see if it is zoned residential why they cannot put more
residence or another business it is not zoned for light industrial. So, I think
if something like this was going up in your backyard, I do not know how you
feel about it but I certainly think they could put that land to better use than
something like that, especially when their place is a stones thrown down the
3
road. I thank you for your consideration and time. And, I would like to keep
it green, I mean I was listening earlier about how Virginia Beach needs more
bike paths and things like that, but a dog park and my other neighbors of
Apiary, they have young kids said, hey, how about a children's playground
but I guess people want to pave paradise and put up a parking lot, so to
speak. I hope that does not happen but it is kind of out of my control but I
wanted my voice heard. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Anybody have any questions? Okay, thank you.
Mr. Dozier: Jay Augustan.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will state your name for the record please.
Mr. Augustan: Good morning. My name is Jay Augustan. Thank you everyone for having
me here today. My name is Jay Augustan and I am a proud homeowner in
the Fair Lady Place, the ten home cul-de-sac you will see on the top part of
that screen right across from the blue, directly across from the site. We
have four children in our house, ages 3, 6, 9, and 14 and I am here speaking
today in opposition to the rezoning request. My primary reason for this is
that noise that will bring to the area. It is a collision repair center that is
being proposed between tow trucks, flatbed trucks, delivery trucks,
dumpster trucks with their backup beeping, the noise of loading cars and
the noise out resonate from the building from the repairs themselves. That
will bring disruptions to a very peaceful area. This is why zoning ordinances
normally for businesses of this type typically reside in industrial areas rather
than in or at an entrance of a neighborhood. I do agree that the structure
the building is attractive. But the cars coming there and the noise that will
bring will not be. In fact nine dwellings or Fair Lady Road will directly be
affected as they will be either directly across or contrary to what the
gentleman said earlier, there is a dwelling that is right next door. There is
a duplex with two families that live in that dwelling. Personally, I like to see
a park in that area, if not more housing of some sort. However, I understand
that due to AICUZ neither are possible as stated by the landscape designer
and former Planning Commission member on the zoom call that developer
kindly hosted. With that said, I know that Virginia Beach is not in the
business of owning land and using revenue for the city's preservation. Thus
it is a matter of time before a business of some sort will eventually be there,
especially due to its location. However, no offense but I oppose any
industrial type business on that piece of land due to its close proximity to
the residential family dwellings. Personally, the next ideal scenario in my
opinion, would be a professional office space like what is currently across
4
the street on Potters Road that has Doctor's Offices and a Physical Therapy
Center. If not that maybe a coffee shop or donut shop, or a bakery or
something of that nature would be much more complimentary to a
neighborhood, other than an industrial business. In my opinion
Performance Collision Center, would be much better suited across London
Bridge, which you cannot see. Preferably at the former Commerce Park at
the corner of Virginia Beach Boulevard and the Expressway where London
Bridge is, and this would give them it an even better location in terms of
access, the visual from the expressway and not have any residential
concerns and not alter the way they operate their business. As you search
for win, win scenarios between the business, the City, and residents, this
would be it. Otherwise, should all parties involved and voting on this choose
and move forward despite these concerns that I believe that we need to
address the following. Number one, first and foremost, can we move the
entrance on Fair Lady Road to London Bridge. Both entrances on the site
will be on a road that currently residents ride their bikes, like the young lady
had said earlier today.
Ms. Dozier: Thank you for your comments.
Mr. Augustan: Oh, sorry. Is that my time.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, sir, it is your time.
Mr. Augustan: No worries.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Augustan: Thank you so much.
Ms. Oliver: Madam Clerk, do we have any more speakers.
Ms. Dozier: No, Ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you. Mr. Bourdon.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Madam Chair, I want to thank Ms. Betts and Mr. Augustan for
their constructive comments and for their being here today. I will address a
couple things I have neglected to mention. I passed out before the hearing
and you all have a letter of support from a family on Fair Lady, as well as
from the London Bridge Baptist Church I have provided all those, they
should have been at your chairs when you came back from lunch, letters of
support of this project. One thing I want to point out that may not be
something that the speakers were aware of is that, I said, the property is in
5
the APZ-1, Accident Potential Zone number one and the highest noise
therefore it cannot be developed residentially that is the reason why the City
acquired in the first place and it is been in our Comp Plan been known for
decades now that this property and others like it with the appropriate type
of landscaping, development restrictions etc. would be some form of light
industrial that is the only thing that can go there. The uses that were
described for almost every one of them is not allowed now, because of
conflicts with NAS Oceana, and the Airfield. The entrance to this facility is
not directly across from the entrance to Fair Lady to be clear, and we have
intentionally shifted it so that it, we never wanted it to be lined up with the
entrance to Fair Lady, so, there is no conflict there. We have a huge BMP
on the south end of the property that is larger than probably three lots
combined, four lots combined in Fair Lady before you get to the duplex that
is located to the south of us, it is not a part of any neighborhood it is been
there frankly for probably 50 to 60 years maybe even longer quite honestly.
So, the application is an excellent application for this location. We have
placed the entrances where we have been instructed to place the entrances
by City Policy by City Staff, and we have met with the community, my client
is an upstanding member of this community. He will abide by all the
conditions and we will make sure the landscaping is to the point you would
not be able to see what is going on there in a short period of time, but
nothing will be going on other than vehicles being parked because
everything will be closed and everything is done inside the building. There
is one house on Fair Lady Place that is the side of the house faces London
Bridge Road, that is the only house that is really in close proximity, but again
it is on the opposite side of London Bridge Road landscaping on the east
side of that property as well. And, with that, I would be happy to answer
any questions if you may have any.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have, Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Bourdon, I was just looking at, so, I just want to clarify something, maybe
your client can answer this, but you guys are showing a fence detail and it
looks like it is kind of like as you call it corrugated, is there is that for sound,
because it is kind of got thick structure to it.
Mr. Bourdon: It is a high-quality maintenance free vinyl fence and it is solid. But in terms
of the.
Mr. Alcaraz: It is got a detail and it looks like two inches thick.
Mr. Bourdon: It is not a thin little fence, you are absolutely correct. But I would say that
it would not keep the jet noise away, which this area, again, highest noise
6
zone. But with what we have attempted to do with Barry Frankenfield's help
is to create a very solid landscape buffer that will be the best noise
attenuator, much more so than just a fence but between the fence and the
heavy landscaping that all up and down Fair Lady on that side where we
get the heaviest landscaping. That is the noise attenuation, the better noise
attenuation than just the fence. The noise will bounce off the fence. The
heavy landscaping absorbs some of the decibels.
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, thanks. Just hold on, Mr. Tajan, Mr. Bourdon mentioned residential
uses. But Mr. Augustan actually asked and I just want to confirm it on the
uses for office, coffee shop, doctors office. Can you confirm that?
Mr. Tajan: Yes, sir. Mr. Alcaraz. So, in APZ-1 which is one of the higher Accident
Potential Zones other than the Clear Zone those types of uses as retail food
services are not permitted per the Zoning Ordinance. So, many of those
retail uses that allow for folks to be located there for longer periods of time
due to the safety concern are not permitted use.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: But, commercial uses would be, you are just saying that it is.
Mr. Tajan: It is very limited, this is one of the more limited ones other than the Clear
Zone. So, reading through the use table, regular retail sales is not
permitted. Even the retail sales of food, eating and drinking establishments,
so, those are the typical, even personal services which cover the majority
of the other uses Mr. Wall. So, they would not be permitted in the APZ-1,
so, they could not be a use permitted on site.
Mr. Bourdon: You all do not see applications to put APZ-1 commercial uses because Mr.
Tajan is correct, it is exceptionally narrow in APZ-1.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Does anybody have any more questions? Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Regarding an access point, right in and right out on London Bridge Road, I
understand that it is limited access road. And Traffic Engineering has
looked at it and it is too close to the two intersections. Is the applicant
opposed to having an entrance on London Bridge, if they were able to get
it.
Mr. Bourdon: Mr. Graham that we have been told that it is City Policy that there would not
be access onto London Bridge Road. A right in and right out personally I
7
do not see that being a problem. If there is not room to have a median
break and a full entrance really. But, based on my years of experience, I
do not know how the right in and right out is a safety issue. However, we
are abiding by and have every desire to abide by what the City Policy, as I
understand it was set by City Council some time ago is, but certainly we are
doing what we are told.
Mr. Graham: Sure.
Mr. Bourdon: And, if City Council wants to tell us to move it to London Bridge Road, I am
certain we would not be looking for any median break.
Mr. Graham: Okay. I mean, it seems like it is a low traffic impact. So, a lot of other uses,
not that there are very many uses, but any other uses. I mean, they are
going to have to have access from Fair Lady as well.
Mr. Bourdon: That is correct it that is 100% correct. And this truly is a low impact and we
are restricting the hours of operation and the utilization of it in order to
minimize any impacts.
Mr. Graham: Okay. All right. Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: There are any more questions? Yes, Jack.
Mr. Wall: Can you Mr. Bourdon. Can you speak a little bit more on the parking for
this property, as I see an enormous amount of parking for this facility that
you would not expect for it typical auto repair.
Mr. Bourdon: One of the situations, there a couple situations that we are dealing with.
One is that we do not want to have any overflow whatsoever onto the
adjacent streets so we eliminate that entirely with having a larger parking
area in the back. There will be vehicles that are not under repair, that
repairs have not started that we have to store they are waiting for parts and
then put them in, get the work done and get them get them out. So, that is
one of the reasons for the size of the lot. But the primary one is to make no
doubt in anyone's mind that there is going to be no impact of what goes on
here in any of the communities that surrounded it as far as parking is
concerned. If there were to be a concern about reducing the size of the of
the area, my client would be amenable, but this was something that in the
conversations with Staff and with City Representatives, we did not want
there to be any impact and we want to make sure that it will be solidly
screened, so, no one and in a very short period of time will even know what
8
is going on there or see what is going on there, but other than Zoning
Inspectors are welcome. But we are not going to do any work other than in
the building.
Mr. Wall: Okay, can you follow up and can you speak on the architecture also, of the
facility.
Mr. Bourdon: I tried to do that in the presentation, board and batten, fiber siding, metal
accents, we got lots of windows, not what you typically see, as Mr. Augustan
even acknowledged, it is a very attractive building. And I think it is extremely
attractive building and it is very similar to the one of the two industrial
buildings that is on the opposite side of London Bridge Road adjacent to the
Gate Wood Park Neighborhood that were built again on similar situation
acquired properties of the City. So, for development that lines up with the
entrance to the south end of Fair Lady. One of those buildings is very similar
architecture and I believe that building even got a design award from this
Commission a number of years ago when it opened.
Mr. Wall: What is the use of that building.
Mr. Bourdon: It is an industrial zoning, it is not it?
Mr. Wall: It is a fleet supply?
Mr. Bourdon: I am sorry.
Mr. Wall: Is it fleet supply?
Mr. Bourdon: I believe that is correct. I do not want to suggest that it is an auto repair,
but it is an industrial use on industrial property.
Mr. Wall: Okay. All right, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Okay. Thank you, Mr. Bourdon.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: All right, the hearing is closed now. We will open it up for discussion
amongst the Commissioners unless we have a motion on the floor. Mr.
Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I recall the City acquired this property for the purpose of the use similar to
this. This is a consequence of Base Realignment and Closure Commission,
where Mr. Bourdon says for decades it literally has been close to 20 years
that we have been on this quest to place similar businesses in this part of
the City, APZ-1. I am impressed, the architecture is quite attractive, it
9
exceeds on landscaping, it exceeds on parking, the goodness, the dumpster
enclosure, I am looking at this in the dumpster enclosure seems to have
been thought out with a great deal of care and the fencing. I mean, there is
a lot to like about this. If you accept and I think we have to accept that this
is the kind of use it is going to go on this property that I think this is a very
well thought out application, where a great deal of care has been taken to
that. So, I certainly understand and sympathize with these folks who just
do not want anything built there. Okay. And, I get that too. That is why the
City acquired it and in given that, it seems to me, we could do an awful lot
worse on this property than what we are presented with. So, I am going to
support it and George's neck of the woods, I am going to wait for him to
make his move. But, I think it has a lot to recommend it quite frankly. Thank
you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: I have got a few things. One is, this could be for Marchelle or for anybody
with the City, will this unfairly provided an advantage to this business that
is, that is provided with the City parcel in an area that zones and you are
currently residential A-12 Apartment District as opposed to a typical
industrial area that we have. I believe within the past few years approved
auto repair and even collision repair businesses, tucked away off of London
Bridge in a more of an industrial setting. And, maybe that is just a question
that is hard to answer. But, it almost seems like it does provide them on a
somewhat key intersection near Potters and London Bridge, well-traveled,
heavily traveled trafficked road, I mean, possibly an advantage over other
businesses that have located in more of an industrial setting. So, I do not
know if anybody can answer that or it can be answered.
Mr. Tajan: I do not know if we can answer that Mr. Wall. As you as we know, this is a
City parcel that has been requested and deemed as excess by the City.
And, there was a proposal to come forward from the applicant with this
proposed development, which is why it is in front of you. The economics
behind it, I do not believe we can answer any of for you.
Mr. Wall: Okay. All right, thanks.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, well.
Mr. Wall: I have a couple other things. One thing is this would catch me, I am not a
fan of this, it would catch me off guard if I lived there. It is an open space;
we know there has been some discussion on that this is the best use. Well,
I do not know if it is the best use, possibly open space. And it may have
10
been acquired as part of the protection within the AICUZ area against
additional residential. But, on the flip side, the architecture blends with
recent precedents and very good architecture. And, the landscaping it
cannot get better I do not think then what has been proposed at this point
for this type of use. So, I am little torn on that. Okay, that is it, sorry George.
Mr. Alcaraz: Good, Jack thank you. And, I agree with Mr. Redmond, this is the, I guess,
the worst case scenario of an APZ-1 your crash zone, your noise zone, it is
the worst case, and the applicant has submitted a plan with the restrictions
on the property that, minimal and they picked the site and the design of it.
And, I am sorry with the concerns with the opposition, but I am going to
make a recommendation for approval.
Ms. Oliver: Do I have a second.
Mr. Redmond: Second.
Ms. Oliver: The second by Commissioner Redmond. Can you call for the question
please.
Ms. Porter: I will call for the vote. Commissioner Alcaraz.

Dear Mr.Alcaraz and Other Members of the Planning Commission Board:
We have lived at 2404 Fair Lady Place since 2014 and absolutely love our neighborhood. We
were attracted to this little stretch of Virginia Beach due to its central location and calm
surroundings(give or take a jet flyover), and our cul de sac off of Fair Lady Road has
remained a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of London Bridge Road. Key to our
decision to buy this house was the understanding that Fair Lady Road was zoned as an R-5D.
Imagine our surprise upon recently learning that SIFEN, Inc. has proposed plans for a
Performance Collision Center steps away from our driveway under a Conditional Use Permit
to rezone that Fair Lady Road lot(GPIN: 14979350530000)as an I-1.
The proposed Collision Center would directly encroach onto our residential area,with the
entrance spilling directly onto Fair Lady Place. This development would bring with it an
influx of traffic on a residential road where so many of us and our children and pets walk,run
and bike, and on which school buses regularly stop. Additionally,a Collision Center would
bring with it constant noise due to the use of air/power tools,banding of metal, and large
wrecker trucks coming and going at all hours of the day as is the nature of such businesses.
Not to mention,this development would be an undeniable eye sore and risks decreasing our
respective property value.
Simply put,we don't think an industrial structure belongs in our neighborhood. Certainly,
we're open to the city's continued growth but believe that residential neighborhoods deserve
developments that enrich,not deteriorate,their community and quality of life.
While our neighborhood doesn't have a Home Owners Association,we join our fellow
neighbors in expressing our disapproval of this proposal.We plan to share our concerns at the
upcoming public hearings as well and would appreciate your assistance in ensuring our voices
are heard.Thank you for your time.
Wishing you all a healthy start to the holiday season.
Best regards,
Valeria L. Palmertree& Sean J. Palmertree

Good Afternoon,
I am opposed to the Auto repair garage being built at this location and would prefer this small parcel
of land kept green maybe a children's park or possibly a dog park but I feel with London Bridge being
a main thoroughfare to the interstate and further down with the industrial park as well as Oceana
base we have enough businesses/traffic already.Thank you for your time and consideration.

To Whom it May Concern:
When I decided to purchase a home in the area off of Potters Rd and London Bridge Blvd I never imagined an
industrial business trying to build in our relatively quiet neighborhood that is zoned residential.I feel this is not a
good location as tow trucks,delivery trucks,as well as roll backs will be traveling up and down Fair Lady Rd where
families walk with their children and pets as well as it being where numerous children wait for their respective buses
when school is in session.Also, the additional noise from using pneumatic tools as well as the use of potentially
dangerous chemicals would not be in our best interest. There is already an industrial park of sorts a little further
down LB Blvd as well as LB Commerce Center that is only a stones throw away and currently vacant that in my
opinion would be more suitable for this sort of business venture.Thank you in advance for considering having this
business relocate to a more appropriate location.
Sincerely,
Susan Betz

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: KIM DEROCHEBLAVE BARKER [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 3625 E. Stratford
Road (GPIN 14895834936550). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
5,141 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D Residential District (Shore Drive Overlay).
The lot consists of one duplex. For clarity, the applicant only owns one of the two
units on this property. The subject dwelling contains three bedrooms. The
minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per
bedroom, or three spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests
on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a three bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however,
at the time of this writing, the applicant accepted City Council's recent Short Term
Rental condition revisions that reduce the number of overnight guests permitted to
two per bedroom and limit the number of bookings in a seven day period from two
to one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the community of Ocean Park, which consists of
predominately single-family and duplex dwellings. The site is within approximately
790 feet of the public beach of the Chesapeake Bay. The applicant's parking plan
depicts the three required off-street parking spaces; one within the garage and two
in the driveway. One of the parking spaces does encroach into the right-of-way;
however, pedestrian and vehicular movements are not impacted as there is more
than 20 feet from the edge of the street pavement to the property line. While the
parking of vehicles is slightly within a portion of the right-of-way, it is fully within the
driveway as is typical throughout this neighborhood. As permitted by Section
241 .2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the
parking plan and deemed it acceptable; noting that a condition is recommended
that assures the garage will always be available for the Short Term Rental
occupants. Furthermore, the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the
applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff report.

One letter of opposition from an adjacent property owner was received related to
this request. The letter indicates concern with the potential for increased noise and
the transient nature of Short Term Rentals.
■ Recommendation:
On December 9, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to
recommend approval of this request.

Rental has been the subject of neighborhood complaints, violations of its
conditions or violations of any building, housing, zoning, fire or other similar

than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of

6. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a
responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner
or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty(30) minutes. Physical response
to the site of the Short Term Rental is not required.
7. If, or when, the ownership of the property changes, it is the seller's
responsibility to notify the new property owner of requirements 'a' through 'c'
below. This information must be submitted to the Planning Department for
review and approval. This shall be done within six (6) months of the property

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 5,141 square foot lot is zoned R-5D Residential District (Shore Drive Overlay)and contains one duplex;
however,the applicant only owns the subject unit.
• According to City records,this three-bedroom home was constructed in 1981.
• Staff inspected the site on October 6, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• On-street parking is permitted 24-hours per day; however, due to the narrowness of the asphalt street in this
block, it appears that most vehicles park in the unimproved portion of the City right-of-way.Thus, any overflow
parking beyond the minimum parking spaces required could occur within the City right-of-way.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject
address.
• The applicant accepts City Council's recently imposed conditions reducing the number of bookings in a seven
day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This site is located within the community of Ocean Park,which consists of predominately single-family and duplex
dwellings.The subject lot is zoned R-5D Residential District,Shore Drive Overlay,which permits both single-family and
duplex dwellings. In addition,the site lies approximately 790 feet from the public beach of the Chesapeake Bay.The
applicant's parking plan depicts the three required off-street parking spaces;one within the garage and two in the
driveway. One of the parking spaces does encroach into the right-of-way; however, pedestrian and vehicular
movements are not impacted as there is over 20 feet from the edge of the street pavement to the property line.The
parking of vehicles within a portion of the right-of-way, but fully within the driveway is a typical condition within the
neighborhood. As permitted by Section 241.2(1)of the City Zoning Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator reviewed the
parking plan and deemed it acceptable; however, a condition is recommended that assures the garage will always be
available for the Short Term Rental occupants. Furthermore,the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above,Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.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.

Subject: Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for 3625 E Stratford Road

Dear Sir or Madam,
We are the owners of the home immediately next door to 3625 E Stratford Road. My understanding is that there is a
hearing today regarding the issuance of a conditional use permit to allow short term rentals at that address.
This appears to have been going on the majority of this year already. Below is the link to the rental on VRBO.
We are opposed to the issuance of the permit at this time. There have been many different people coming and going at
that residence and while most are quiet, there have been a few who have been. That duplex was built pretty close to
mine - my home is one of the few original Ocean Park homes. All of my bedrooms are on the side of the house closest to
that one. There are decks on both the front and back of that house where people like to congregate. It is not always
quiet at night.
While we hope everyone can enjoy being close to the beach, we would not like to see Ocean Park turn into the Outer
Banks with short term rentals.

Thank you,
Cheryl and Rick Mansfield

Hello Mr. Miller,
Kim Barker and I each own a condo in a 2-unit building(3623 and 2625 E. Stratford Rd). I
use my condo as my residence, while Kim uses hers as a rental property.
I am aware that she uses the condo for short-term rentals, and I am amenable to this
arrangement.
Thank you, and I can be contacted at 217-413-8288 if you have any follow-up questions.
All the best,

My name is Wenona Lowery and I prefer to stay in short term rentals. First of all it is more
relaxing and you are able to interact with your family and friends in a more intimate and
homey atmosphere. Unlike hotels and motels alike,the houses that I have rented are relatively
cleaner and are usually presented to the guests in the same manner that the host would
maintain their home. Especially now during the pandemic, short term rentals are by far a safer
alternative to hotels. Due to my son being stationed in Norfolk, I will only consider short term
rentals for my stays in Virginia because the rentals far outweigh the accommodations that are
being provided in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: RED LION PROPERTIES, LLC [Applicant&Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 401 21st Street, Unit 5
(GPIN 24270854826410). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental within
one dwelling unit on property zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form-Based Code
District. The subject unit contains one bedroom. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for Short Term Rentals is one per bedroom, or one space in this
instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a one-
bedroom Short Term Rental is three; however,the recommended conditions reflect
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, which has been accepted by the
applicant.
• Considerations:
The subject property lies within the Resort Area of the oceanfront; specifically, the
proposed Short Term Rental is located within the Sea Crest Condominium
complex, which consists of two buildings containing a total of 16 multi-family
dwelling units on 0.4 acres of land. The site also includes 17 paved parking spaces
with each unit permanently assigned one space. The surrounding property
consists of a myriad of uses, including, but not limited to, retail establishments,
hotels, high and low density residential, and commercial parking lots. Furthermore,
the subject dwelling is located 1,200 feet, or 0.2 miles, from the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean. The applicant's parking plan depicts one required off-street parking
space assigned to the unit, which meets the provisions of Section 241.2(1)the City
Zoning Ordinance. Together with the remaining Short Term Rental requirements
found in Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, as the site is located within the
boundaries of the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP), a condition is
recommended that limits the number of RPPP parking passes to two and prohibits
the issuance of guest and temporary passes through the program while the
Conditional Use Permit is active. Further details pertaining to the application are
provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition to this request.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The subject property lies within the resort area of the oceanfront;specifically,the proposed Short Term Rental is located
within the Sea Crest condominium community,which consists of two buildings containing 16 multi-family dwelling units
on 0.4 acres of land.The site also includes 17 paved parking spaces,with each unit permanently assigned one space.The
surrounding property consists of a myriad of uses, including, but not limited to, retail establishments, hotels, high and
low density residential, and commercial parking lots. Furthermore,the subject dwelling is located 1,200 feet, or 0.2
miles,from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean.The applicant's parking plan depicts the one required off-street
parking space assigned to the unit,thereby meeting the requirements of Section 241.2(1)the City Zoning Ordinance.
Together with the remaining Short Term Rental requirements found in Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance,a
condition is recommended that limits the number of Residential Parking Permit Program parking passes to two and
prohibits the issuance of guest and temporary passes through the program while the Conditional Use Permit is active.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.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.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: SCOTT & JEANNIE WILLIAMS [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 223 64th Street
(GPIN 2419638013). COUNCIL DISTRICT — LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
5,000 square-foot parcel zoned R-5R (NE) Residential District in the North End.
The lot consists of one semi-detached dwelling containing three bedrooms. The
minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per
bedroom, or three spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests
on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a three-bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however,
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:
This site is located within the North End community, which is primarily single-family
and duplex-style dwellings. The subject property is adjacent to an entrance to First
Landing State Park and is approximately 1,100 feet from the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean. As this entrance to the State Park is well used, there are more
vehicle trips per day along this portion of 64th Street than what is typical in the
North End. The applicant's parking plan depicts all three required off-street parking
spaces within an existing compacted gravel driveway. Since compacted gravel
was a permitted parking surface material when the dwelling was built, the Zoning
Administrator approved the parking plan as allowed by Section 241.2(1)of the City
Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the remaining requirements of Section 241.2 of the
City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by
the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff report.
Four letters of opposition were received relating to this request. The opposition
noted concerns relating to an increase in traffic volume on 64th Street, a probable
need for additional on-street parking, a possible decrease in the safety of
pedestrians and children at play on 64th Street, an increased possibility of vehicle
crashes, concerns relating to the number of STRs on the block, and worries
Scott & Jeannie Williams
Page 2 of 4
relating to a possible change of neighborhood character and stability due to the
seemingly businesslike nature of STRs.
• Recommendation:
On December 9, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 223
64th 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.
3. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of

administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the
Planning 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.
4. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more
than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of
bedrooms times two (2)) on the property where the Short Term Rental is
located. This Short Term Rental may not request or obtain a Special Event
Permit under City Code Section 4-1 (8a).
5. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a
responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner
or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty(30) minutes. Physical response
to the site of the Short Term Rental is not required.
6. If, or when, the ownership of the property changes, it is the seller's
responsibility to notify the new property owner of requirements `a' through `c'
below. This information must be submitted to the Planning Department for
review and approval. This shall be done within six (6) months of the property
real estate transaction closing date.
a) A completed Department of Planning and Community Development
Short Term Rental Zoning registration form; and
b) Copies of the Commissioner of Revenue's Office receipt of registration;
and

beach), 12-43.2 (fireworks), and a copy of any approved parking plan.
9. All refuse shall be placed in automated refuse receptacles, where provided,

Mr. William Miller
Planning Commission
City of Virginia Beach
RE: STR -223 64th St.
Dear Mr. Miller and Planning Commission, I strongly object to a short-term rental
at 223 64th St. Our street is already plagued with significant traffic from the First
Landing Park entrance that is on the Cul De sac directly from 223 64th St.
There are often moms with baby carriages, children, adults walking and bicyclists
riding into the park. The additional vehicles will only worsen the congestion and
potentially harm park patrons.
On holidays like Memorial Day, July 4th' and Labor Day the traffic is backed up to
completely to the end of the street with trucks hauling boats waiting to launch
their boat from the boat ramp.
The high schools running teams and groups of people use the Cul De Sac to
stretch and exercise and the constant flow of new vehicles at the short-term
rental may cause harm to unsuspecting citizens.
I appreciate the planning commission considering this.
Sincerely,
Patrick Venditti

Mr.Miller,
I live across the street from this home and think that it will be a bad idea for a short term rental.The street already is
very busy being just outside the park and being a culdesac with a through street that has caused many accidents over
the years.The added congestion of a short term rental with minimal parking will only increase the chances for an
accident where someone could get hurt.
Additionally,I plan to rent out the home(222 64th)adjacent to me to a couple with children.And having raised two
boys on this culdesac,I know we don't need anymore traffic.
Thank you for your consideration

201 and 205 were recently approved as short term rentals. Shouldn't there be a limit to the number of
short term rentals on one short block?64th is such a busy street,with so much competition for parking as
the entrance to the state park, and being only a block from the beach. The new owners bought 223 for
this purpose,apparently. Not to become part of the neighborhood, but as a business.We live on the
same block, at 200, and would prefer,for the sake of neighborhood stability,that if 223 must have renters
in it,that they be long term, not transients. We know neighbors on that end of the block who are
contemplating moving away as a result of this trend.Allison and Anthony Sitar

Dear Mr Miller
I am a Resident at 216 64 Street and would like to object completely to the short term rental at 223 64 Street
There is no Parking at that Street the way it is now therefore this Project would be a huge detriment to all Residents
Please do not allow that to happen!!!

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: 4500 OCEANFRONT, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 4500 Ocean Front
Avenue (GPIN 2418975240). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
6,845 square-foot parcel zoned R-7.5 Residential District in the North End. The lot
consists of one single-family dwelling containing five bedrooms. The minimum
number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom,
or five spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after
11 :00 p.m. for a five bedroom Short Term Rental is 15; 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:
This site is located within the North End community, which is primarily single-family
and duplex-style dwellings. The subject property abuts the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean and is within easy biking and walking distance to the oceanfront
boardwalk and other resort venues. The applicant's parking plan depicts all five
required off-street parking spaces within the existing driveway and outside of the
right-of-way, thereby meeting the requirements of Section 241 .2(1) the City Zoning
Ordinance. In addition, the requirements of Section 241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the attached Staff
report.
After the Planning Commission public hearing, the applicant's representative
offered an additional condition to clarify that the property will not be listed on any
online rental platform nor be marketed for rental. The additional condition is
identified below with underlined text.
There is no known opposition to this request.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: WALTER LEE BURNETTE [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 926 Maryland Avenue
(GPIN 24178362850000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental on a
3,322 square-foot parcel zoned A-24 Apartment District. The lot consists of one
townhome dwelling containing three bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or three spaces in
this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
three-bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however, at the time of this writing, the
applicant accepts 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 Pinewood Cove Townhomes subdivision, which
was platted in 1972 and contains 33 townhomes. This townhome contains three
bedrooms and requires three off-street parking spaces. The proposed parking plan
depicts all three parking spaces within the driveway in front of this unit. Since one
of the spaces encroaches slightly into the right-of-way, the plan was reviewed by
the Zoning Administrator in accordance with Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning
Ordinance and found to be acceptable. Furthermore, the remaining requirements
of Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals
can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the
application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
One citizen spoke in opposition to the request at the Planning Commission public
hearing. The speaker relayed concerns focused a commercializing of the
neighborhood, increasing traffic on the street, creating parking difficulties,
generating noise from large gatherings, and alleged back yard nudity associated
with an existing outdoor shower on the subject property, which is located behind
the existing privacy fence.

• Recommendation:
On December 9, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
denial of this request by a vote of 4 to 4 and to approve this request by a second
vote of 4 to 4. Because of these tie votes, the outcome was to deny the request. If
City Council chooses to approve the request, the following conditions are
recommended:
1 . The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 926
Maryland 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 Council.
3. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of
approval. The renewal process of this Conditional Use Permit may be
administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the
Planning 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.
4. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more
than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of
bedrooms times two (2)) on the property where the Short Term Rental is
located. This Short Term Rental may not request or obtain a Special Event
Permit under City Code Section 4-1 (8a).
5. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a
responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner
or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions

6. If, or when, the ownership of the property changes, it is the seller's

below. This information must be submitted to the Planning Department for
review and approval. This shall be done within six (6) months of the property
real estate transaction closing date.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This property is located within the Pinewood Cove Townhomes subdivision, which was platted in 1972 and contains 33
townhomes. This neighborhood is bounded by the subdivisions of Indian Circle Townhomes to the north and Delaware
Townhomes to the south.The townhouse contains three bedrooms and requires three off-street parking spaces. The
proposed parking plan shows all three parking spaces within the driveway in front of this unit. Since one of the spaces
encroaches slightly into the City right-of-way,the plan was reviewed by the Zoning Administrator in accordance with
Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance and found to be acceptable. Furthermore,the remaining requirements of
Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below;
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
Recommended Conditions
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 926 Maryland Avenue and the Short Term
Rental use shall only occur in the principal structure.

Walter Lee Burnette [Applicant and Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
926 Maryland Avenue
December 9, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL — HEARD
Ms. Dozier: Next item is item number 16, Walter Lee Burnett, an application for
Conditional Use Permit Short Term Rental at property located at 926
Maryland Avenue. Is the applicant present?
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will state your name for the record, please.
Mr. Burnett: Walter Lee Burnett.
Ms. Oliver: And, can you tell us a little bit about your, I am sorry we are on number 16.
Great, thank you. Tell us a little bit about your rental property, please.
Mr. Burnett: Sure. I bought the property about two years ago it was in need of renovation.
I invested about$25,000 into it,worked with my neighbors next to me where
we paved the parking area which had not been paved in years. We stay
there probably just as much as we do rent it as well. So, I am a native of
Virginia Beach I grew up here, went to Green Run High School. And, we
basically rent it out to help pay the payment. I live in Richmond at this time.
But we are down here quite a bit and have quite a few friends on Maryland
Avenue, that we all support each other and taking trash out making sure
grass is cut; things like that.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you. I am sorry you had your hand up George, and you are
currently renting it?
Mr. Burnett: Not right now.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. When was the last time.
Mr. Burnett: My last rental was in August, after I spoke with zoning.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Thank you.
1
Mr. Burnett: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Madam Clerk we have some speakers today.
Ms. Dozier: Yes, Ma'am. We have two speakers for this item. Carrie Copenhaver.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, if you will state your name for the record, please. Thank you.
Ms. Copenhaver: My name is Carrie Copenhaver I live at 603 16th Street. I also have a
rental property at 941 Maryland Avenue, and I am in support of Lee's Short
Term Rental. I work with him with that as far as being his support, so if he
is ever out of town or needs anything, I am right there to take care of it. We
also have our cleaner Laura, who lives on Maryland Avenue as well so we
are there to help support him while he operates that and he comes in visits
and we socialize and whatnot, so, we are in support of his continuing to use
that as a Short Term Rental.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Dozier: Bill Wright. Calling again for Bill Wright. That would be all the speakers
Ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you very much. All right, we will go ahead and close this
hearing and open it up to the Commissioners.
Mr. Alcaraz: I just had some questions for the applicant.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Go right ahead. You have questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: For Mr. Burnett, yes.
Ms. Oliver: All right, Mr. Burnett would you please come to the podium. Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Hi, Mr., Burnett there was some opposition that did contact me just recently
I was aware of the both of them. But, anyway the question I had is, they
said recently you have been renting Short Term Rentals.
2
Mr. Burnett: I have not rented, when I spoke with Mr. Miller in August to figure out how
the process should work. That is when I stopped renting.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, you live here.
Mr. Burnett: I live in Midlothian and I am from here, but I do spend four to five months a
year here.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, the opposition, they are close proximity to you. And, what I was told
is there were some problems and it was not taken care of in a timely
manner. Do you have a manager locally that is going to handle that and is
that contact information, public.
Mr. Burnett: I have never heard of any problems. I have a 4.98 rental average on
VRBO.
Mr. Alcaraz: How do you get that.
Mr. Burnett: How did I get it.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah. How did you get that rating.
Mr. Burnett: Oh, man I take incredible pride in making sure that I do everything to take
care of the property really. I put in sod in the yard, I put up a new fence.
Mr. Alcaraz: Who rates that.
Mr. Burnett: The people that have stayed in the past.
Mr. Alcaraz: That is what I am asking, how many of those did you have.
Mr. Burnett: I do not know the number, actually. This year it is not been as many as the
year prior. The year prior I had probably 25 maybe I am not 100% sure of
that number.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, my concern is we need a timely manner if there is a problem, and I need
to make sure that for the neighborhood, for quiet enjoyment it is taken care
of in a timely manner and that is what I want to know is who is your manager
locally. And, are they available and is it public record on who they can
contact if there is a problem.
3
Mr. Burnett: So, the answer is I have Carrie Copenhaver, obviously that is available, she
lives close by, I have Laura, our housekeeper that lives right down the
sidewalk from me. I also have Kelly Trebor here who is number 17, on this
list that we are neighbors in Richmond and neighbors in here and we all
support each other. Like I said, I did grow up here. The people that are
renting have my phone number. They have my wife's number.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am talking about the neighbors if there's a problem. How do they know
who to call.
Mr. Burnett: The neighbors. I do not know the answer to what the neighbors, certain
neighbors they may, some neighbors have like my next door neighbor and
two doors down for example, Brian has my number. My neighbor on the
other side has my number. So, there are multiple neighbors that do have
my phone number.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. And, the reason I bring this up the opposition was actually one of the
guys just walked in, so, I let them divulge that. Thank you. Thanks.
Mr. Burnett: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Madam Clerk I think our other speaker might have just walked in.
Ms. Dozier: Would you like me to recall him.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, please.
Ms. Dozier: Bill Wright.
Mr. Wright: Hi, my name is Bill Wright. I live at 904 Maryland Avenue and I am opposed
to this Conditional Use Permit. We live in a quiet neighborhood, and we do
not want to commercialize the neighborhood. This property has been listed
since March 2019, so, we have some experience with some of the renter's
there. There has been a lot of traffic. There has been several parties in
that facility. There is also at times, I think some commercial trucks have
been parked in there. I think there is some construction crews that come in
and rent the place as well. So, there has been a lot of traffic. And, we are
concerned about the parking issues there. I think there is supposed to be
three spots but there is no on-street parking there, so, we are concerned
about that. There is no real on-street parking it is those three spots there,
so, we have had construction trucks parked there, and this has been a lot
of activity over the past year or so there. There is also, I believe he has an
4
outdoor shower in the back and although I have not been a witness to it, I
have heard that there has been occasions where there has been some
nudity in the backyard and there is kids in the neighborhood and that sort of
thing, so, we are concerned about that as well. So, I just wanted to stand
in opposition to it.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions. Thank you very much. Mr. Burnett would you
come back up to the podium, please. I think Commissioner Weiner has a
question for you.
Mr. Weiner: How long have you been paying taxes on your short term rental.
Mr. Burnett: Since day-one.
Mr. Weiner: When was that.
Mr. Burnett: Well, I bought the house in November of 2019. I did some renovations, I
believe. I went to City Hall in March or maybe February of. I bought the
house in November, I am sorry of 2018.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Burnett: I went to City Hall in probably February of 2019, to do the business license
and things like that.
Mr. Weiner: And, that is when you start paying your taxes then.
Mr. Burnett: Yes, sir.
Mr. Weiner: And, they did not tell you about Conditional Use Permit then.
Mr. Burnett: Not at that time, no.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Burnett: It was later in the year that they came out with that first set of rules.
Mr. Weiner: Did you buy this house specifically for Short Term Rentals.
Mr. Burnett: Not necessarily. Like I said, I am from here my parents obviously lived here
until they retired. When my parents moved away I decided, we were coming
down here and spending time with friends. And, I just was tired of, basically
3
staying in people's houses and staying in hotels and this and that, and I do
stay in the house quite a bit. I would like to address Mr. Wright's additional
comments also, if I may. There is a shower on the side of the house, my
property is surrounded about six-feet tall privacy fence and the shower is
also surrounded by a privacy fence. So, I am not sure how people walking
around nude in theory would be something that someone will see
personally, but I have a strict, very strict no party policy. And, I have never
heard anyone say, I will be glad to share my contact information with Mr.
Wright. I do not know him, and I have never met him before. But as far as
trucks parking, it is only been in the last few months that the city has come
up with the three parking. I advertise my house for two cars. And, if there
has been a work truck it may have been a rental that came in, I do rent to
people that want to work here supposedly. Sometimes it is two weeks
maybe it is four weeks or whatever, but I do not ask them what kind of
vehicle they drive. But, like I said, I do have a strict no party policy, I am
aware of that house at all times. I take great pride in that house; I did a lot
of work on that house. It is something that I am going to keep, I am just a
few years from retirement. And, I will be more than happy to share my
contact information with any neighbor that is interested.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else. No, thank you very much.
Mr. Burnett: Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: All right, we will close this hearing now and open it to the Commissioners.
Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: I think one of the problems that I am noticing for vacation homes, is that it
is hard for neighbors to tell who is having the party, because they do not
always know when the owner of the property is in town. So, if you have a
gathering that is boisterous, how is the neighbor supposed to know it is the
owner versus it is a renter. That seems to be a theme in people who use
the house as a second home.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Anybody else, George.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thanks. Well, I do not know whether the other person is going to come, I
think it was the anonymous one which I did talk to, but neither here. I took
into consideration what I was told. Again, I am all about the neighborhood,
I am all about the quiet enjoyment. These townhouses are close together,
there is single family homes just to the east of it. It is a community that I
6
think I need to listen and I have heard two people and I am going to go
ahead and recommend denial for my district.
Ms. Oliver: I have motion on floor for denial, do I have a second.
Mr. Wall: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. I will call for the question.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Barnes is absent. Commissioner Coston is absent.
Commissioner Graham.
Mr. Graham: Aye.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Horsley is absent, Commissioner Inman.
Mr. Inman: No.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Klein.
Ms. Klein: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Wall.
Mr. Wall: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Aye.
7
Ms. Garrido: By a recorded vote of four to four item number 16 has been recommended
for denial.
Mr. Tajan: So, with a four-to-four vote that means that.
Ms. Garrido: Motion fails.
Mr. Tajan: Yeah, the motion fails. So, I guess technically the floors open for a another
motion.
Ms. Oliver: All right, I am going to close it again, and ask for another motion. Do we
have a motion on the floor. Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: I will make a motion to approve. The reason I am is I am impressed with
the applicants concern and I find him credible, I am concerned about the
party allegations and I think he is ready to deal with that. And, I think he is
been responsible, and he has met all the criteria otherwise. That is why I
am making a motion for approval.
Ms. Klein: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Do you call for the question Madam Clerk.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Barnes is absent. Commissioner Coston is absent.
Commissioner Graham.
Mr. Graham: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Horsley is absent, Commissioner Inman.
Mr. Inman: Aye.

Mr. Weiner: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: By a recorded vote of four-to-four motion fails.
Mr. Tajan: With that, then you have done both, so, the recommendation is denial by
the Planning Commission.

Subject: 926 Maryland AVE Conditional Use Permit-Short Term Rental DENIAL REQUEST
Date: Monday,November 30,2020 2:27:50 PM
CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the City of Virginia Beach.Do not click links or openn attachments

Good Afternoon,
I am writing today regarding the application for a short-term rental permit for 926 Maryland
Avenue,Virginia Beach,VA(reference Walter Lee Burnette(Applicant&Property Owner)
Conditional Use Permit(Short Term Rental)Address: 926 Maryland Avenue GPIN(s):
2417836285 Council District: Beach). I would like to formally OPPOSE the use of 926
Maryland Avenue as a Short Term Rental,that application which will be heard by the Hearing
on December 9,2020(see Virginian Pilot I Classifieds I Notices I NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING A P... (pilotonline.com).
We live in close proximity to the property applying for the Conditional Use Permit. We are
submitting this letter to request that 926 Maryland Avenue be DENIED the special use permit
based on the following experiences to date with this property:
• This property has long been used as a short term rental since approximately March 2019
and this is the first time we are aware of either a request for special use permit or notice
of a public hearing on the matter.
• This property owner clearly has been conscientiously breaking the rules and avoiding
the proper City of Virginia Beach protocols for special use rentals for at least eighteen
months.
• We have experienced large gatherings,loud music, and unusual traffic related to the
short term rental use of 926 Maryland Avenue and this has included littering and late
night noise/partying(which is uncommon for this area).
• This property is rented through VRBO(Vacation Rentals by Owner)under the name of
"Beach Retreat"which is meant for `vacation purposes'. You can also view the property
and booking history at: Beach Retreat--Private Townhouse-Northeast Virginia Beach
(vrbo.com).
• The owners put the trash can(s)out randomly even though our trash pick-up day is
Tuesday. As a result, the trash can(s) sometimes sit near the street for many days until
someone brings them in toward the townhome which is very unattractive.
• The owners have an outdoor shower unit with an open-air roof that is visible to some
surrounding neighbors and this has presented occasional issues with inadvertent
nudity/exposure.
• Earlier this year the owner rented the unit to a commercial contractor for nearly a
month,with large commercial trucks parked in the parking spaces. Realistically this is
not the purpose of VRBO.
At this time, we are requesting that our identity remain anonymous for fear of possible
retribution.
Thank you in advance for considering our request.
Concerned Resident,

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.
Regarding the request for short term rental at 926 Maryland Ave Virginia Beach VA by owner Walter Lee Burnette;
This is not an area for short term rentals. It would be dangerous for the small children, disruptive to the elderly
neighbors, and disrespectful to the people who have to get up early for work! Everyone close to this unit goes to bed
early. There are nurses and medical personnel living directly behind the condo, a couple now working at home who just
had a baby, an elderly man dying of cancer, an elderly retired couple living right next to the condo and another retired
couple next to our unit, as well as the lady next to us who gets up before sunrise to go to work. My husband and I also
rise early for work.
There have already been incidences when people stayed in that condo and assumed it was fine for them to play loud
music and party into the wee hours because they were on vacation. Understandable, but intolerable to those of us
living in close proximity, who then have to bother the police about all the noise!
Also,we are all concerned for the safety of the small children and teenagers living in this neighborhood. No one wants
an endless stream of unknown people travelling through a neighborhood with vulnerable young children playing in the
streets! It is just too dangerous.
This is a small, densely populated area, and short term vacation rentals would be dangerous and very annoying to
everyone living here.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Mr. & Mrs. Radabaugh

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: JAMES & KELLY TREBOUR [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 939 Maryland
Avenue (GPIN 2417835415). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
2,264 square-foot parcel zoned A-24 Apartment District. The lot consists of one
townhome dwelling containing three bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or three spaces in
this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
three-bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however, at the time of this writing, the
applicant accepted the 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 Pinewood Cove Townhomes subdivision near
the oceanfront, which was platted in 1972 and contains 33 townhomes. To
accommodate the three required off-street parking spaces, the applicant will utilize
the 25-foot wide by 31-foot deep parking area associated with the subject lot. The
proposed parking plan shows all three parking spaces within this parking area; the
first two spaces are arranged in a typical pull-in/back-out fashion, while the third
space is positioned in a traditional parallel manner located directly behind the other
two spaces. This parking arrangement is typical throughout the neighborhood. As
permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable. Furthermore,
the remaining requirements of Section 241 .2 of the City Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Further
details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in
the attached Staff report.
One citizen in opposition was present at the Planning Commission public hearing.
The speaker voiced concerns regarding potential traffic increase and parking
issues associated with the proposed use.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This property is located within the Pinewood Cove Townhomes subdivision near the oceanfront,which was platted in
1972 and contains 33 townhomes.This neighborhood is bounded by the subdivisions of Indian Circle Townhomes to the
north and Delaware Townhomes to the south.The townhouse contains three bedrooms and as such,the Short Term
Rental use requires three off-street parking spaces. To accommodate these spaces,there is a 25-foot wide by 31-foot
deep parking area associated with the subject lot.The proposed parking plan shows three parking spaces within this
parking area.The first two proposed parking spaces are arranged in a typical pull-in/back-out fashion.The third parking
space is positioned in a traditional parallel manner and is located directly behind the other two parking spaces.This
parking arrangement is typical throughout the neighborhood. As permitted by Section 241.2(1)of the City Zoning
Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable. Furthermore,the remaining
requirements of Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by
the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.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

Item # 17
James & Kelly Trebour [Applicant and Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
939 Maryland Avenue
December 9, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL — HEARD
Ms. Dozier: Item number 17, James and Kelly Trebour application for a Conditional Use
Permit for property located at 939 Maryland Avenue. Will the applicant
please come forward.
Ms. Oliver: Hi, would you state your name for the record, please. Do you mind speaking
into the mic or adjust the mic, so, that we can hear you a little bit better.
Thank you.
Ms. Trebour: Hi, I am Kelly Trebour, you can really hear me now.
Ms. Oliver: Hi, how are you, you want to tell us a little bit about your rental unit please.
Ms. Trebour: Certainly, it is at 939 Maryland Avenue, it is a three bedroom 1400 square
feet town home. And, my husband and I recently purchased it. We closed
in November and we intend to enjoy that property as well as rent it. We live
across the street from the Burnett's in Richmond and they live across the
street here. I am really sad to hear that you have denied his Short Term
Rental because he has improved that property that he lives in incredibly so.
So, the neighbor over here it is only helping his property value. I am a real
estate agent I sell real estate, we know that if you have properties that are
not well maintained and you have long-term rental with absent owners. The
property it is basically abandoned and it looks terrible. And, you can tell in
the communities in his community as well where he lives, they have several
homes that are not being maintained very well at all. And in this community,
we do have long-term rental that is not being maintained. With a Short Term
Rental you have to maintain it to make it look good so people will pay to
stay. And, I do not see how that is a distraction to the community or going
to hurt somebody else's property value. And, if there is something going on
in the home, that is disturbing the other neighbors. The other neighbors
already have the contact information. So, I do not understand that at all. It
does not make sense on a value side, it does not make sense on your real
1
estate value side as well as tax base for Virginia Beach. So, I do not
understand that one bit. But, we intend to enjoy this property. I grew up in
Richmond, and grew up coming to Virginia Beach all my childhood, and I
love it here. So, that is our intent. So, we have already started to improve
the property. Excuse me, I am sorry.
Ms. Oliver: That is okay. So, you bought the property for a Short Term Rental.
Ms. Trebour: I bought the property first and foremost to enjoy it.
Ms. Oliver: And, to rent it out.
Ms. Trebour: And, secondly to rent it. Yes.
Ms. Oliver: And, is it currently being rented?.
Ms. Trebour: I have a long-term lease right now.
Ms. Oliver: And, are you registered with the Commissioner of Revenue?
Ms. Trebour: No. On my Short Term Rental application it said that you register after this
hearing.
Ms. Oliver: No, ma'am. You have to register with the Commissioner of Revenue prior
to this, unless we have changed something.
Ms. Trebour: That was not my understanding and now it is not the direction, it even states
in there that you register with the Commissioner after you get your approval.
Mr. Tajan: If she is not operating as a Short Term Rental.
Mr. Inman: Why would you need to register before you operate as a, it is not a
prerequisite to apply for the use permit to register right.
Mr. Tajan: That is correct, if they are operating already we do tell them they need to
register and pay back taxes, but if they are not operating currently typically
we do not require them to register.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, because that is not my understanding was that you had to register
with the Commissioner of Revenue first, pay the fee. Okay.
2
Mr. Inman: Well, the point would be that if you apply and you are denied for a use
permit, why would you ever want to register?
Ms. Oliver: Well, that is true.
Mr. Inman: You are never going to do a Short Term Rental.
Ms. Oliver: It is fine.
Ms. Klein: Do you have to register if you do long term rentals?
Mr. Inman: No.
Ms. Klein: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: No, anything under 30 days is considered a short-term. Okay, thank you
very much.
Ms. Trebour: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, Mr. Weiner has a question for you, ma'am.
Mr. Weiner: Who is the property manager for your Short Term Rental?
Ms. Trebour: Carrie Copenhaver.
Mr. Weiner: So, same people, taking care of yours. Okay. Yours is just a little different.
Okay, that is what we are looking at, okay. This has been looking like that.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Carrie, is she a licensed real estate agent?
Ms. Trebour: Yes, she is.
Mr. Graham: Okay. All right.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you very much.
Ms. Trebour: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Madam clerk, do we have any speakers?
3
Ms. Dozier: Yes, Ma'am there are two speakers. Carrie Copenhaver.
Ms. Copenhaver: Hi, again Carrie Copenhaver. I live at 603 16th Street, and also own
941 Maryland Avenue. And just to clarify, I do not manage her property, she
manages it but I am the point of contact. So, if there is an emergency that
happens or you need somebody immediately, I am the person that would
respond to that and that is what is registered in her application as well. I
would like to address a couple of issues. One, let us talk about parties,
because I think there is a misperception that people that come and rent the
Short Term Rentals are partiers and that may be a tiny percentage of the
people that are renting them and they are kind of, it is kind of easy to pick
up on who they are. So, we are able to weed them out pretty easily. Believe
me, that is not what we as Short Term Rental owners want at all, is to have
people partying in our place. For the most part, they are coming here to visit
their family in the military. They are coming and have somebody at a
different location that is here for a long-term hospital visit, they are here for
over a month and they have got to meet with doctors. There is a variety of
reason that bring people here, there are the Short Term Rentals are a better
option for them than a hotel, and it is an important amenity that we are
offering to our tourists that come here. So, we are not taking away from
hotels, we are actually adding to and providing another service for them.
Specifically, I am very sensitive to partying, we have Laura that again she
is a cleaner that lives right there. To my knowledge, we have only ever had
one party ever on Maryland Avenue and that got shut down very quickly
because we knew what was happening and so we went in, I literally walked
in and had everybody exit before it even got to be anything, it is bunch of
kids from Ocean Lakes. So, I am not clear what he is referring to, and I
would love more information about that because to my knowledge, it is a
townhouse community I do not know that you can decide who in that
townhouse community is having a party. We do not have any issues with
parking, that entire community has issues with parking. There are residents
or tenants that have commercial vehicles that are parking on Indian Road
with their food trailers and food trucks and whatnot. So, I do not know if he
is confusing us with them or what is happening there, but it is a pretty
transient community in those townhouses because you have a lot of tenants
and you have some owners. The tenants do not take great care of their
properties and homeowners do, as short-term owners we take excellent
care of our properties as well because we want to keep them maintained. I
have two there 941 and 948. I take excellent care of my townhouses, we
have added roofs, made improvements. So, again I am in support and I
want you to understand that we want to be good neighbors and that is our
4
intent, and I make myself available, I have spoken to all of our neighbors.
This gentleman lives just up further east of us, I am not quite sure what
issues he is concerned about, but I would love to discuss that with him later
so that we can resolve any disputes or challenges he may have. Thank you.
Ms. Dozier: Bill Wright.
Ms. Oliver: Hello, Mr. Wright.
Mr. Wright: Hi, thank you again, its Bill Wright. And, I am rising in opposition to this
Conditional Use Permit for some of the same reasons. I am not so
concerned about the maintenance or the appearance of the properties, all
property owners should be keeping their residences up to code and keep
them nice. What I am worried about is just the traffic on the street and the
parking, you can see that the way that these cars are parked in this
particular situation, there is two going in and one parked parallel behind
them. So, I just think it looks crowded, and it is just does not look like it is
an easy way to do it. And, we are just concerned about the traffic, the short
term renters coming in and turnover every week and what happened that is
my reasons for opposing this.
Ms. Oliver: Great, do we have any questions for Mr. Wright. Go ahead.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Wright, any history on this one?
Mr. Wright: Not for this particular one, I am not sure that they are even doing any Short
Term Rentals at this point, I think she said that they are longer lease is there
right now, so, nothing here.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. So, I am going to close the hearing at this time. Well, we can if
she would like to, do you want to come back up.
Ms. Trebour: I just wanted to address the parking issue that he brought up, which is not
a nonissue, as a Short Term Rental it is advertised for two cars, not three.
The parking here is to meet your requirements to park three cars, can
actually get three cars in without having that parallel there, but I was not
here in Virginia Beach to make that example, so, you could see it. So, that
is what was taken and given to you all and it is a satellite taken right off of
the Google streets. So, two units down, they get four cars in the same space
parked behind each other. So, I do not know what this gentleman is talking
about, the townhome community is a very transient community. There are
tenants that are coming and going. That is the nature of that kind of a
5
dwelling, and I just cannot fathom that there is all this traffic going down
Maryland Avenue with Short Term Rental traffic. If my family were living
there full time, we would have four cars parked there. And, so, there would
be four cars, and then my daughter and all of her friends would have their
cars coming and going from our house. So, I do not understand the
difference between home ownership in parking and Short Term Rental and
parking, it makes no sense at all. Anybody who has children there that are
driving age, you are going to have people coming and going. So, that is
what I wanted to talk to you about and dispute that comment on parking.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: I know we have a little backup with COVID, but when did you apply for your
Conditional Use Permit?
Ms. Trebour: I put my application in September I think it was, it is on the form.
Mr. Weiner: But you did not purchase the property till November.
Ms. Trebour: I was under contract for purchase, but we closed on the property on
November 2nd
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, I just want to clarify something you said you only need two parking
spaces, so, you have how many bedrooms?
Ms. Trebour: We have three bedrooms, but we only advertise for two cars, only two cars
can park there.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. So, the three was required by the ordinance.
Ms. Trebour: That is right.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Any other questions? Thank you.
Ms. Trebour: Thank you.
6
Ms. Oliver: All right, we will close the hearing now. One thing I have to say is that one,
the previous applicant had been renting his house since 2018, and is now
just coming forward or bought it and in February 2019, he was renovating it
from November 2018 and then started to rent it and pay taxes on it in 2019,
so, that is quite some time before, and then was told by the City to please
stop renting. So, I have a problem with that, it just seems that there is a lot
of Short Term Rentals in a small area, and I do have a problem with that.
But, anyway that is where I am with all of this. There are nine that I count
on the map, unless somebody counts something different. And, I know that
we have had these discussions on how many is in a square block or two
blocks do we want, especially in a townhouse area but anyway. That is my
concern with these, because she just mentioned that there were two more
was hers, plus the other gentleman. So, anyway.
Mr. Alcaraz: Well, sorry to say I am going to stay consistent here on this street, so, I am
going to recommend the denial and let the Commissioners decide also.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: This is really strange you have two of them across street from each other,
but two totally different scenarios. And, I am going to tend to support this
one. I like this because how things are going and she just purchased it she
is going through right procedures. And, so, everything checked, all the
boxes check on this so I am going to support this one.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. He made a motion. So, we have our motion on the floor for a
denial for this application, I need a second please. I do not have a second.
Mr. Weiner: I will make a substitute motion for approval.
Ms. Oliver: Do I have a second for the substitute motion?
Ms. Klein: I will second.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Klein seconds it, can you call for the question please?
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Nay.
Ms. Garrido: Commissioner Barnes is absent. Commissioner Coston is absent.
Commissioner Graham.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: WRIGHT TURN, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 938 Delaware Avenue (GPIN
24178340050000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental on a
1 ,674 square-foot parcel zoned A-18 Apartment District. The lot consists of one
townhome dwelling containing two bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental 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 accepts 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 Delaware Townhomes subdivision, which was
platted in 1973 and contains 37 townhomes. This townhouse contains two
bedrooms and requires two off-street parking spaces for the proposed Short
Term Rental Use. The proposed parking plan depicts both required parking
spaces within the driveway in front of the unit, thereby meeting the requirements
of Section 241.2(1) the City Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the remaining
requirements of Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short
Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details
pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the
attached Staff report.
One letter of opposition from an adjacent property owner was received relating to
this request after the Planning Commission hearing. The letter noted concerns
regarding an increase in noise disturbances and overcrowding, worry of vehicle
damage due to overparking of the driveway spilling onto her parking area, and
fears of the transient nature of Short Term Rentals.

Dear Sir or Madam
I live at 940 Delaware Avenue. I oppose allowing a conditional use permit for 938
Delaware Avenue.The property was approved as a Bed and Breakfast. On numerous
occasions I have been kept up at night due to loud music, talking and yelling most
involved alcohol and party. I constantly worry over damage from vehicle doors hitting my
auto when the parking area is full. The people using it are on vacation and for the most
part not family oriented and I do not care what the rules they agree to say since there is
no one to enforce them, the rules mean nothing.I presume they are pursuing a conditional
use permit for short term rentals because the Bed and Breakfast is not generating
enough income. So short term rental would allow them to make it to warmer weather so
they can again go B & B.
This is my home where I live, a single family area not a commercial or resort area. I do
not want to put up with tourist and transient peoples and deal with the associated
problems at my home.
Please,Do Not grant this permit.
