AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Extend the Sunset Date of Article III, Division 5 of Chapter 21
of the City Code Pertaining to Residential Permit Parking in the Historic Cavalier
Shores Neighborhood
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background: In 2019, the City Council approved a one-year temporary
residential parking program in the Historic Cavalier Shores Neighborhood in response to
concerns raised by the Cavalier Shores Civic League and its residents regarding on-
street public parking on the 200 blocks of 43rd, 44th, and 45th streets. The civic league
was concerned about extended periods of high parking occupancy on these streets
during both daytime and nighttime hours as a result of a nearby multi-year hotel
construction project. This area is also used for parking by residents and beachgoers.
The pilot program has been successful, and because construction of the hotel project
continued, the City Council last year approved a one-year extension of the program to
April 5, 2021.
in Considerations: Construction of the hotel project has not been completed. The
residents have requested an additional extension of the program as a result. This
ordinance would extend the program to April 5, 2022. This item was first included in the
Council agenda for the March 2, 2021 meeting, but the City Council deferred it to April
6, 2021.
• Public Information: Information regarding this ordinance has been and will be
provided through the normal agenda process. Additionally, a public presentation on this
program was given to the City Council during the Council's March 23, 2021 workshop.
• Attachments: Ordinance and Civic League Request Letter.

2 ARTICLE III, DIVISION 5 OF CHAPTER 21 OF THE CITY
3 CODE PERTAINING TO RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING
4 IN THE HISTORIC CAVALIER SHORES NEIGHBORHOOD
5
6 WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources added the Cavalier
7 Shores Historic District, which is comprised of the Cavalier Shores neighborhood, to the
8 Virginia Landmarks Register, noting:
9
10 The Cavalier Shores Historic District in Virginia Beach began in 1927 as a
11 housing development sponsored by the city's now-iconic Cavalier Hotel,
12 which opened that same year. While the neighborhood's direct link to the
13 hotel has since faded, a brick promenade leading to a gate to the hotel
14 grounds recalls the earlier connection. Cavalier Shores is an example of
15 coastal suburban development during the first half of the 20th century. Its
16 dense housing dating to the era indicates the neighborhood's early
17 popularity and subsequent growth. Its seven blocks of houses are
18 predominated by Colonial Revival style designs, with Tudor Revival and
19 Minimal Traditional. Lining the neighborhood's alleyways are a complement
20 of rear garages and guesthouses, the latter a common feature of coastal
21 developments of the era. The district also conveys a sense of beautification
22 and landscaping, a defining aspect of the neighborhood since the 1920s.
23 Most of the district's lots were developed by the late 1960s. Today, Cavalier
24 Shores is a rare collection of early-20th century residential architecture in
25 Virginia Beach.
26
27 WHEREAS, the Cavalier Shores Historic District also is listed in the National
28 Register of Historic Places;
29
30 WHEREAS, as noted by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, Cavalier
31 Shores is a unique area that consists of"dense housing" dating to an era when driveways
32 were less common, and current residents of Cavalier Shores require on-street parking for
33 their vehicles;
34
35 WHEREAS, the ability of the residents to park their vehicles on the street adjacent
36 to or near their homes has been severely impacted as a result of the multi-year
37 construction associated with the Cavalier Hotel project;
38
39 WHEREAS, the City Council desires to address the unique needs of this historic
40 neighborhood during the time of construction by extending for another year the one-year
41 temporary pilot program it previously established—separate and apart from the current
42 Residential Parking Permit Program—to continue to address the parking needs of
43 Cavalier Shores residents.
44
45 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
46 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
85 Sec. 21-384. - Permits generally.
86
87 The City Treasurer or the city's parking management office shall issue residential parking
88 permits pursuant to this division in accordance with the procedures set forth in section
89 21-354. However, no permit shall be issued pursuant to this section for employee parking
90 in the Cavalier Shores Neighborhood.
91
92 BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
93 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
94
95 That the effective date of this ordinance shall be April 5, 2021, and that, absent
96 additional action by the City Council to the contrary, this ordinance shall automatically
97 sunset and expire on April 5, 2022.

Dear Patrick,
Or March 15, 2019, the City Council approved a temporary parking progra-r for
the Cavalier Shores neighborhood, one of the few neighborhoods in Virginia
Beach c:assifie0 as "Historic" on the Virginia Historical Registry,
This program limited parking by non-residents to three (3) hours per day. The
program was critically needed because of the excessive parking demand created
by the construction and hotel workers involved in the restoration and operation of
the Historic Cavalier. Given the 1920's road and neighborhoods design In Cavelle-
Shores, on street parking is required by a significant number of the residents.
The neighborhood has always welcomes beach goers and other guests, but the
commercial parking in the neighborhood brought on by the Cavalier project was
overpowering the limited on street parking
The parking program created by the City has worked welt to limit the duration of _
time that non-residents can park in Cavalier Shores, enabling residents to more
often access parking in front of their own homes.
Due to the ongoing construct on at the Marriott, the condos and related road
work, in early 2020,the parking program was extended for another year.
Currently. the construction of the new hotels,the Condos and street alignment
continues, creating the same, if not increased, parking demands, Aaditionaliy. the
employees, the grounds workers and guests of the two hotels seek daily parking
in Cavalier Shores. F,naliy, guests of the Cavalier Residences also park on the
streets of Cavalier Shores due to the insufficient parking built into the
development of the Residences
Due to the success of me parking program, we respectfully ask that it be
cone=nuec for enatht r year or indefinitely to address the continued parking
shortfall caused by the hotels, Cavalier Residences, and the road realignment
described above.
Sincerely yours,

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 35-42 of the City Code Regarding
Administration of Disabled Veteran Personal Property Tax Exemptions
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background: In the November 2020 election, the voters of the Commonwealth
approved an amendment to the Virginia Constitution to provide an exemption from
personal property taxes upon one motor vehicle owned and used primarily by or for a
veteran with a "one hundred percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability."
The Governor has signed legislation, 2021 Acts of Assembly, c.158, to implement the
amendment to the Virginia Constitution and codify such exemption as § 58.1-3668 of
the Virginia Code. The legislation allows the City to enact an ordinance for the
administration of the personal property exemption.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance provides for the Commissioner of the
Revenue (the "Commissioner") to administer the personal property tax exemption. The
ordinance includes the requirement to submit information to the Commissioner for a
determination of eligibility. Because the Commissioner also administers the real
property tax exemption for disabled veterans, the information currently in the
possession of the Commissioner will assist in the orderly and efficient administration of
the new personal property tax exemption. The amendment to the Virginia Constitution
and the text of the 2021 Acts of Assembly include an effective date for the exemption of
January 1, 2021.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance; 2021 Acts of Assembly c. 158
Recommended Action: Approval
Submitting Department/Agency: Commissioner of Revenue

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Requesting the Virginia Department of Transportation Accept
Corrections to the Road Inventory for Urban Maintenance Payments
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background: The Virginia Department of Transportation ("VDOT") maintenance
funding is conditioned upon the City Council submitting to VDOT resolutions for all new
streets and for all corrections/deletions to the City's road inventory. VDOT has provided
the City with the FY21 reimbursement rates: local/collector streets will be reimbursed at
$13,011.71 per lane mile, and arterial streets will be reimbursed at $22,161.46 per lane
mile.
• Considerations: The attached resolution requests changes to the current
VDOT maintenance funding inventory due to duplications or updated lane mile data.
There are 0.16 lane miles of local/collector streets to be deleted from the inventory.
There are corrections in the amount of 0.76 lane miles of local/collector streets to be
added back to the inventory. The net increase between the deletions and corrections is
0.60 lane miles of local/collector streets. Based on the present VDOT reimbursement
rates indicated above, the total net increase in urban maintenance lane miles from the
corrections will result in a funding increase of$7,807.03 per year from VDOT.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Adopt the 2021 Housing Choice Voucher Annual Agency Plan
and Revised Administrative Plan and to Authorize the City Manager to Execute
and Submit the Plans to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background: The City's Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
("DHNP") operates the federally funded Housing Choice Voucher program ("HCV
Program"), formerly known as the Section 8 Program. The U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development ("HUD") requires agencies that operate HCV programs to
submit: (1) an Annual Agency Plan for each fiscal year in which federal funding is received
for its HCV program; and (2) an HCV Administrative Plan.
• Considerations: In the HUD-required planning cycle, a new Annual Agency Plan
is required and is included as an attachment to this agenda request. The purpose of the
Annual Agency Plan is to update HUD on DHNP's progress in achieving the goals in the
applicable Five-Year Plan. The most recent Five-Year plan was approved by the City
Council in 2020. The Annual Plan also describes the organization of the HCV Program

2021 Housing Choice Voucher— Annual and Administrative Plans
Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
April 6, 2021
Federally Required Plans for the Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Department of Housing&Neighborhood Preservation(DHNP) operates the federal
Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) in the city. The program provides funding for
rental subsidies for over 2,000 households in Virginia Beach and in some cases in
neighboring cities. Funding for the HCV program is from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development. In order to comply with all Federal requirements for
this program, the city must establish policy and procedures to ensure consistency in
program operation and adopt the following plans:

proposed for adoption by
Council with this ordinance
Pursuant to 24 CFR 982.54 the VBDHNP must adopt a written administrative plan that
establishes local policies for administration of the (HCV)program in accordance with
HUD requirements. The administration plan and any revisions of the plan must be
formally adopted by the City Council. This is required because Virginia Beach does not
have a housing authority and, therefore no board of commissioners. The administrative
plan states VBDHNP's policy on matters for which the VBDHNP has discretion to
establish local policies. The plan must be in accordance with HUD regulations and
requirements. The current administrative plan was approved by the Virginia Beach City
Council on April 7, 2020 and subsequently submitted to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. The administrative plan is the key attachment to the HCV Five
Year and Annual Agency Plans which are also submitted by the VBDHNP.
CONTENTS OF THE PLAN
Federal regulations 24 CFR 982.54 further stipulate the VBDHNP administrative plan
must cover VBDHNP policies on the following subjects:

Executive Summary
2021 Housing Choice Voucher— Annual and Administrative Plans
Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
April 6, 2021
In addition to City Council adoption of the 2021 Agency Plan, there must also be
approval of two HUD required certifications. A copy of those certifications is attached to
this executive summary. The first certification is HUD Form 50077 which speaks to
DHNP's compliance with various program and statutory requirements including Fair
Housing, Title VI or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,
ADA regulations and various other federal laws. The second certification is HUD Form
50077-s1 which states that the Housing Choice Voucher Agency Plan is consistent with
the City's Consolidated Plan, and is previously cited.
On February 26, 2021, the Annual Plan Update was made available to the public for the
required 45-day review period. A public hearing was held on March 8, 2021, in
conjunction with our resident advisory board meeting. Their comments will be attached
to the final HUD submission along with any that are received from the general public.
The approved Annual Agency Plan along with the two required certifications must be
electronically submitted to HUD no later than April 15, 2021, which is the required 75
days before the beginning of our Fiscal Year of July 1, 2021.
Administrative Plan:
Staff has developed revisions to the 2021 plan. Primary differences between the prior
plan and this proposed revision are as follows:
• For the Tenant Based Rental Assistance(TBRA)program(which is targeted
toward preventing homelessness), we amended the administrative plan to provide
an automatic briefing to qualifying graduates of the program. The plan previously
only allowed for a preference, so only those TBRA graduates who applied in 2012
qualified.
• We are amending the administrative plan to allow us to charge$50 for a 3`d
inspection(and any subsequent inspections) if the first two were both owner-
caused. This will allow more efficient use of inspectors' time as it gives an
incentive to owners to prepare units before our inspectors visit, and to be more
thorough in following the deficiency report. The policy is modeled on Code
Enforcement's Certificate of Compliance Rental Inspection Program.
These proposed revisions were advertised and made available along with the Annual Plan
as noted above.

B.3 Progress Report.
Provide a description of the PHA's progress in meeting its Mission and Goals described in the PHA 5-Year Plan.
Due to the pandemic, we were forced to work from home, which accelerated the need to eliminate forms.
We created a video that has enabled us to do annual and intake briefings remotely, and have shortened
some forms including the participant's declaration form, and eliminated forms that had been used at the
annual that were only necessary at intake. We have been very successful in optimizing utilization; in
January we were able to create a utilization plan for CY 2021 that has us set for the same number of new
vouchers every month as early as March. Finally, in 2020 the City created a new 5 year comprehensive
plan. We will target new PBV contracts to the City's Strategic Growth Areas.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Authorize a Grant-Funded Position in the Office of Emergency
Management to Support the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background: The Office of Emergency Management has been awarded several
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grants through the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) to reduce flood risk to homeowners in the City. The FMA grant programs
require extensive time and administrative effort to ensure proper documentation,
reporting, and reimbursement. As a result, the Office of Emergency Management
requests 1.00 full-time FTE to support the Mitigation Program Manager in grants
administration, which is an allowable reimbursable cost under the grant terms.
There are currently a total of four active Flood Mitigation Assistance Capital Improvement
Projects funded by these grants to assist a total of 25 properties. In addition to these, the
Office of Emergency Management anticipates applying for and being awarded additional
FMA grants in the future.
Title Established
CIP 100187 Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program February 2015
CIP 100189 Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program II July 2016
CIP 100188 Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program III July 2018
CIP 100557 Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program IV November 2020
Current administrative funding available is indicated below:
• FY 2016 FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance (CIP 100187) —$99,213
• FY 2019 FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance (CIP 100557) —$38,241
If this position is authorized, the Office will have a total of eight full-time FTEs. This
position will be fully reimbursed by the FMA grants, as allowed by the federal government.
• Considerations: The total collective administrative costs that may be funded by
the existing grants are $137,454, which will cover the salary and benefits for 1 .0 FTE for
over two years. Should the position be authorized, it would be conditioned upon continued
grant funding.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: MARGERY & AJ ELLIS [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 5632 Freewill Lane
(GPIN 14640845350000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
2,068 square-foot parcel zoned PD-H2 (A-24) Planned Development District. The
lot consists of one attached 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.
As of March 8, 2021 , Host Compliance shows no current STR advertisements
associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the Infinity Townhomes subdivision, which is a Planned
Development of 40 townhomes located in the Centerville community. The
submitted parking plan shows all three required parking spaces located in the
existing driveway; however, one space does project 2-feet into the city right-of-way
but is still within the driveway apron. Since this projection does not impede
pedestrian or traffic flow, the Zoning Administrator deemed the parking as
acceptable, as allowed by Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance. In
addition, all other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Further
details pertaining to the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Opposition was present at the public hearing. The president of the HOA for the
Infinity Townhomes spoke and advised the Planning Commission that 85% of the
participating townhome owners polled were in opposition of the applicant's
request. Their reasons include a lack a nearby venues such as a beach or
commercial entertainment, concerns over a perceived lack of vested interest in the
community from off-site homeowners, worries over the transient nature of Short
Margery & AJ Ellis
Page 2of4
Term Rentals and the safety of neighborhood children, unease regarding possible
negative effects of Short Term Rentals on neighborhood property values and future
homebuyer loan availability, and a general apprehension due to the chance of
behavioral problems such as excessive noise generated by short-term renters both
outdoors and through the shared walls of the townhome.
• Recommendation:
On February 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
denial of this request by a vote of 7 to 3. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 5632
Freewill Lane 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

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

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.

Term Rental Zoning registration form; and

b) Copies of the Commissioner of Revenue's Office receipt of registration; and
c) Proof of liability insurance applicable to the rental activity of at least one

7. To the extent permitted by state law, each Short Term Rental must maintain

taxes.
8. There shall be posted in a conspicuous place within the dwelling a summary

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 2,068 square foot lot is located within the PD-H2(A-24) Planned Development District and contains one
townhome dwelling within a row of five.
• According to City records,this home was constructed in 2016.
• Staff inspected the site on December 17, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.

street.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject
address.

Margery & AJ Ellis [Applicants & Property Owners]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
5632 Freewill Lane
February 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL— MOTION TO APPROVE FAILED — HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. We can move on to item 14.
Mr. Dao: Before we move on to the next item, can we check user 21, can you please identify
yourself? Caller 21, can you please identify yourself? Alright, thank you. The next
item is item number 14. The application of Margery and AJ Ellis, a Conditional Use
Permit request for a three bedroom Short-Term Rental located at 5632 Freewill
Lane, in the Centerville District. The applicant is Margery Ellis. Ms. Ellis, please
start your comments.
Mr. Ellis: Good afternoon. This is AJ Ellis, I am the husband of Margery Ellis and the co-
owner as well. Basically, we are just looking for the Conditional Use Permit for the
STR, like I said, we believe it would be a great investment for ourselves and
additional income for our family. Basically, we recently just had a daughter, she is
a year and a half, and we want to get ahead and be proactive and her tuition as
well for the college and of course, we all know tuition is not cheap. So, the income
we received from the STR will go to that. And, like I said, as far as management,
we have a management team in place. Actually, they manage the same property,
my father's property, he has STR, he went through the same process we are going
through right now in the Glenwood Area.And, I think they've managed over 14,000
properties and they have over 700 plus destinations. Me myself, I have bought and
sold and held rental properties in the area. And, I have managed them myself until
it was sold in 2018. I am just looking for approval of the STR.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
Mr. Ellis: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions from Mr. Ellis. Mr. Ellis, I have a question for you. Is this your primary
residence?
Mr. Ellis: Correct, at the moment it is.
Mr. Weiner: Do you do plan on living there and doing Short-Term Rentals or as you are living
there?
Mr. Ellis: Negative, my wife and I will be moving out and this will be a full time.
Mr. Weiner: Full time Short-Term Rental.
Mr. Ellis: Correct, and we will still in the area.
1
Mr. Weiner: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Ellis: You are welcome.
Mr. Weiner: Alright. No more questions. Anymore speakers.
Mr. Dao: We have one speaker for this item Kenneth Houck. Mr. Houck, please start your
comment.
Mr. Houck: Hello, can you hear me?
Mr. Dao: Yes, sir. Please start your comments.
Mr. Houck: Thank you. My name is Ken Houck and I am a board member and president of
The Towne's at Centerville Crossing Homeowners Association. Our community is
made up of 40 townhomes on Freewill Lane, which is a dead end street one block
long. There are a total of nine buildings located on both sides of the street, which
have either four or five townhomes in each building. The HOA conducted a Zoom
meeting for the property owners to get their feedback about Short-Term Rentals
within the community as well as another related topic. 85% of the owners that we
have spoken to are in opposition to allowing Short-Term Rentals within the
community. The reasons stated for this opposition are as follows. The
neighborhood is not in a beach or commercial or entertainment area. Short-term
renters do not have a vested interest in the community. There is no motivation for
them to take care of property or even the shared community property. It would
create a transient area within the community. There were concerns that there
would be a negative effect on property values. There were safety concerns,
children play in the street and it would be frequently around people that we do not
know. In addition, a single mother expressed her concern for her child's welfare in
our community if people were coming and going on a frequent basis. Townhomes
do not have a separation between properties, so, renters are literally on the other
side of the wall. Residents had concerns about parties on balconies at night that
would be just feet away from their bedrooms. The way these townhomes are
constructed as you can see from the photo that you have listed, the garage is on
the main floor, directly above it is the balcony, and directly above the balcony is
the master bedrooms. Homes would be harder to sell. In the Washington Post
dated September 7, 2016, it states "Fannie Mae will not buy a loan for a property
if the building allows units to be rented by the day. In effect, the rule means that
buyers in your condo building would become ineligible for a Fannie Mae loan."
These are the reasons for the opposition. These are strongly held beliefs
expressed by owners within the community. They want to ensure their quality of
life will not diminish in their pursuit of happiness. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Anybody have any questions with the speaker? No questions.
Okay. Mr. Ellis, do you have anything you want to add.
Mr. Ellis: Yes, he was saying as far as kids in the neighborhood, I was on that Zoom meeting
for the HOA and there were a few people complaining about they do have kids in
2
the area, and they would not know who is in and out of the STR. I do not know if
you guys are aware, but right behind us, we live next to a two 300 unit apartment
complex and we all share the same amenities as far as the pool, fitness center,
etc. So, again, it's a two 300 unit apartment complex and people are constantly
moving out day in and day out. So, you just never know who you are living next to
regardless.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, any questions for Mr. Ellis? No questions, that is all the speakers.
Mr. Dao: Yes, sir, that is all the speakers on this item.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, we will come close it to the public and open up for us. Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Thank you. I hear the concerns of the HOA, I live in a connected townhome, so, I
can certainly appreciate those concerns. I think that there is a need for Short-Term
Rentals in other parts of the city not just along the shoreline. And, I hear the
residents' concerns, because there are no direct concerns related to a specific
property in their neighborhood, I will support the application.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, any other comments. No comments, nobody. I am going to get back to
where we were being consistent, and it is going to be hard for me to support this
one, while I cannot support one down the beach that was out of the what we were
looking at and what we are trying to do. So, I am personally not going to be able
to support this one. Anybody else? Ms. Klein, do you like to make a motion?
Ms. Klein: I move that we approve the application.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, do we have a second?
Mr. Coston: Second.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, we have a motion for approval by Ms. Klein, seconded by Mr. Coston. We
are ready for the vote.
Ms. Coleman: If you are in favor of the motion, say, yes. And, if you are opposed say, no. Mr.
Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Barnes.
Mr. Barnes: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Nay.

Ms. Coleman: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: No.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: No.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: No.
Ms. Coleman: Ms. Oliver is absent. Vice Chair, Wall.
Mr. Wall: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: And, Chair Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: No.
Ms. Coleman: By recorded vote of seven for and three against agenda item number 14 has been
recommended for denial.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, we move on to item number 16.
Mr. Dao: The last item on today's agenda is the application of Albert and Enit Lulushi, for a
Conditional Use Permit for Short-Term Rental located at 528 Vanderbilt Avenue in
the Beach District. The applicant is Enit Lulushi. Ms. Lulushi, please start your
comments. You have up to 10 minutes.
Mr. Tajan: I am sorry, Ms. Lulushi, if you can hold on one second. Just to be clear the motion
failed on a vote of three for and seven against. And, I guess I just want to be sure,
Ms.Wilson we do not have to vote again, right? It is just the denial recommendation
because of the failed motion for approval.
Ms. Wilson: It should be seven to three, we only have 10 members. I figured the math question
out.
Mr. Tajan: Just to be cleared for the record, it was three for, seven against, the motion failed,
which is a recommendation for denial. Okay.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: JAIME DYMOND [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 3817 Daiquiri Lane (GPIN
1485210479). COUNCIL DISTRICT — CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
11,916 square foot parcel zoned PD-H1 Planned Unit Development District. The
lot consists of one single-family home 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.
As of March 12, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active STR
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This site is within the Salem Lakes neighborhood, which consists predominately of
single-family homes. In addition to an existing 1-car garage, the property also
contains a 12-foot by 20.5-foot concrete driveway. This garage and driveway can
accommodate two off-street parking spaces. A third space would be located within
a proposed concrete addition placed on the east side of the existing driveway. As
allowed by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator deemed this plan as acceptable with a stipulation that the placement
of the driveway addition occur within 60-days of City Council approval.
Recommended condition #4 addresses this matter. Furthermore, all requirements
of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be
reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are
provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request. Staff has received two letters of
support for this item.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This site is located in the Salem Lakes neighborhood which consists predominately of single-family dwellings. Short Term
Rental Use has proven to not be common in this area of the City. There is an existing 12-foot by 20 1/2-foot driveway
that is used for parking as well as a 1-car garage. It is the applicant's intention to use the garage to accommodate 1
parking space and widen the existing driveway to accommodate the 3rd additional parking space. The applicant has
submitted an alternative parking plan that shows this proposed improvement and the use of the garage for 1 parking
space. The Zoning Administrator has deemed this plan acceptable. If this request is granted, a condition is recommended
that requires the placement of the driveway addition and within 60-days of the City Council public hearing. Staff has
received 2 letters of support from surrounding property owners.

Item # 13
Jaime Dymond [Applicant& Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit(Short Term Rental)
3817 Daiquiri Lane
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Ms. Sandloop: Next item of business is agenda item number 13, Jaime Dymond, an application
for a Conditional Use Permit Short-Term Rental on property located at 3817
Daiquiri Lane in the Centerville District. Is the applicant or the applicant.
Mr. Weiner: Please come forward. State your name for the record, please.
Ms. Dymond: Hi, good afternoon I am Jaime Dymond. So, I have owned the home for over 10
years. I plan to rent for less than half of the year just primarily during the summer.
I think it is a great location, being right next to the amphitheater, when hopefully
under normal circumstances, we will be having concerts again. Also it is a great
location, centrally located for military families visiting from out of town, but also
very close to the area beaches and a little further removed from some of the noise
and chaos that can happen at the oceanfront. I know the hot topic this morning
was the matter of the parking. So, my driveway, including the apron is 32-feet long
and in the time I have lived there, I have always parked two vehicles in the
driveway. I do realize with the regulations that we do need to provide additional
space. So, I did consult with a contractor whose just been looking at it, we are
determined to try to preserve some of the uniformity of the neighborhood, so it
might be better to position it to the left, also providing extra space to put trash bins
and things like that. There is not much going on between my neighbor's driveway
and my own. However, I am entirely open to just expanding it six-feet the other
way. I am just trying to be as agreeable as possible to whatever your
recommendations are. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions. Alright, thank you very much. No more speakers.
Mr. Dao: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: I am super conflicted about this. I really want to approve it. I spoke with Mr. Kemp
extensively during our break; I want to approve this. I am interested to know your
thoughts on the parking plan to see if that sways me in another direction.
Mr. Weiner: Who wants to go first? Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: I think most people who expand their driveway tend to go to the left. I mean, you
kind of want to leave the front of the house looking the way that it does. I am in
1
favor of approving it if she wants to put that driveway to the left and I would go
along with that.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Jack.
Mr. Wall: We just approved one that expanded the driveway. My opinion is similar to Mr.
Coston, I think it is a better look on the outside than the inside.
Mr. Weiner: Who else? Dee.
Ms. Oliver: I am fine with it. I think that whatever makes her property look aesthetically pleasing
to her and is good with City Staff and Permitting, I think whether it is adding three
feet to one side and three feet to the other to make it wider and sort of centered, it
might look better like that, but either way, I am fine with that. I wish that in going
forward in the future that our photographs would sort of encompass a little bit more
of that side so Ms. Klein could have probably had a little bit of a better visual or all
of us that cannot see it that way then you know a little bit better photographs of the
property, but that being said, I am fine.
Mr. Weiner: Alright. Do we have a motion?
Ms. Klein: I will make a motion to approve.
Mr. Weiner: I have a Motion approved by Ms. Klein. Do we have a second?
Mr. Coston: Second.
Mr. Weiner: Second by Mr. Coston. We are ready to vote.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: I think I will abstain since I excused myself for this one. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Graham is absent. Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Oliver.

Ms. Oliver: Aye.

has been recommended for approval.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: BENJAMIN A. ABAIR [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at2513 Mortons Road (GPIN
15707155670000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
4,260 square-foot parcel zoned R-5R(SD) Residential District in the Shore Drive
overlay. The lot consists of one duplex building owned solely by the applicant;
however, only one unit is part of this request since the applicant currently lives in
the other unit. 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 unit 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.
As of March 12, 2021, Host Compliance does show advertisements associated
with the subject address; however, the minimum night stay is 30, which makes the
current use fall into the long-term rental category.
• Considerations:
This R-5R (SD) zoned lot is located within the community of Chesapeake Beach,
contains one duplex style building, and sits approximately 400 feet from the public
beach of the Chesapeake Bay. Due to severe fire damage, a majority of this
structure was reconstructed in 2019. The applicant's submitted parking plan
depicts two required off-street parking spaces within an existing compacted gravel
driveway, which was refreshed with new gravel during the reconstruction of the
duplex in 2019. As a result of the original structure's construction year, 1950, the
property does not contain a code compliant driveway entry apron. Therefore, staff
recommends a condition requiring the placement of a code compliant driveway
apron for the address associated with this request. 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 requirements of Section
241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably
Benjamin A. Abair
Page 2of4
met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided
in the attached Staff Report.
There was one letter of opposition received relating to this request. The letter was
received on March 16, 2021, after the March 10th Planning Commission public
hearing. The author of the letter expressed concern with Short Term Rental use in
light of a recent shooting that occurred at a nearby STR in the Chesapeake Beach
community; however, this incident did not occur at the STR address associated
with this CUP request.
• Recommendation:
On March 10, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this
item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 2513
Mortons Road and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the principal

Evaluation & Recommendation

Both units within this duplex are owned by the applicant,who intends to live in one until(2515)and use the other unit

the Chesapeake Bay.

parking plan and deemed it acceptable. 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;
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

Item # 10
Benjamin A. Abair [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
2513 Mortons Road
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. We are unaware of any items to be withdrawn, there are no items to
be withdrawn. So, now we will move on to the Consent Agenda and our Vice Chair
Wall will take that over. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are applications that are recommended for approval
by Staff and the Planning Commission concurred, and they are no speaker signed
up in opposition. We have five items on the Consent Agenda today. The first item
is agenda item number one, City of Virginia Beach resolution to schedule monthly
meetings at the Planning Commission of the City of Virginia Beach for April 2021
to December 2021. Can someone from City Staff please speak on this.
Mr. Dao: This is a Resolution to adopt a date of the Planning Commission for the year of
2021, basically from April 2021 to December of 2021.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item being placed on the Consent
Agenda. Hearing none, so, moving on to agenda item number three, Presmont
Construction Services, an application for Conditional Use Permit for Automobile
Service Station. Is there a representative for this item.
Mr. Beaman: Yes, thank you Mr. Vice Chair, Mr. Chair, and Members of the Commission for the
record, my name is Rob Beaman local land use attorney with the Troutman Pepper
Law Firm. We have read the conditions, they are acceptable and we certainly
appreciate being on consent today. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this agenda item being placed on the
Consent Agenda. Hearing none, Mr. Redmond has been asked to read this item
into the record.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you Mr. Vice Chairman and Mr. Chairman. This is an application for a
Conditional Use Permit for an automobile service station. Specifically, it is a
convenience store with eight gas pumps at the corner of Pleasure House Road
and Shore Drive, in the Bayside District in Northwest Virginia Beach. The site is
zoned B-2 community business district, so, it is quite appropriate for this kind of
business. It is a 35,000 square foot site, so, just under an acre. The applicant
seeks to redevelop the site with a 4000 square foot convenience store and eight
fuel pumps as I said if anybody is familiar with this neck of the woods, this site has
been an eyesore for about two decades. The design that the applicant has
1
provided is of a coastal style, which is quite attractive for this kind of product and
it has a very nice mix of materials. The landscaping plan is quite attractive, it
includes some site improvements including sidewalks around both sides of the
property, there is one that exists on Shore Drive, but that will be improved as well.
There is really nothing not to like about this application. There is no opposition,
the Staff has recommended approval and the Commission concurs by consent.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Redmond. The next agenda item is agenda item number four
Grace Bible Church of Virginia Beach Incorporated. This is a Modification of
Conditions for Religious Use. Is there a representative for this item? Please state
your name for the record.
Mr. Bourdon: Eddie Bourdon Virginia Beach Attorney representing Grace Bible Church on this
application. All of the eight conditions as recommended by Staff are certainly
acceptable. We appreciate all of staffs work on this. There was a gentleman now
who was here, who is an adjoining property owner he was here to speak in favor
of, I think he may still be here, but he was in favor of the application I advised him
is on the Consent Agenda. He did not need to speak in his view. I understand,
this morning I was here for the informal that some of you all had some questions
and I am more than happy to try to address or answer them if you, if they were not
answered satisfactorily to any of you or give you little bit of background if that is
what the Commission desires, but otherwise we appreciate being on consent.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. Mr. Horsley has been asked to read this agenda item into the
record.
Mr. Horsley: Thank you, Mr. Wall. Back in 2017, a Conditional Use Permit was approved on
this piece of property just shy of 14 acres and had six conditions, condition five
stated that the parking lot must be at the current grade of the adjoining property.
And, at this time,the applicant is requesting modification of the conditions to allow
changes to the design and changes to the Stormwater Strategy Conceptual Plan.
And, in doing this, the water drainage will change direction it is going to be going
towards London Bridge Road. But, the property is somewhat lower than it needs
to be to drain like it should be. So, three to four feet of field needs to be put in the
property to raise it up and then the stormwater management facilities will work as
is supposed to. I think this will be a big benefit for the surrounding community, the
understanding the residential people in the close by will appreciate this and it will
overall help with our drainage also. So, in staffs opinion, this was a good
application and they deemed it acceptable. We had nobody in opposition to it, so,
we put it on the Consent Agenda. Mr. Bourdon had said if anybody had any
questions he will be glad to answer them, but I think everybody must have gotten
satisfied with the questions this morning. Thank you.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Inman, do you have a disclosure to make.
2
Mr. Inman: Yes, I do. I have a disclosure to make and that I am on the Advisory Board of
Townebank. Townebank appears to have financing on this particular property,and
I do not have a position where I make decisions on loans, and I will be voting on
this matter.
Mr. Wall: Okay,thank you. The next agenda items are agenda items number six and seven.
Dam Neck Storage, LLC, Conditional Use Permit for Bulk Storage Yard and
Modification of Proffers for Mini Warehouse and this includes with amended
condition number two. Do we have a representative to speak on this item.
Mr. Beaman: Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair, Mr. Chair, and Members of the Commission
again for the record Rob Beaman local land use attorney with the Troutman Pepper
Law Firm. We have read the conditions with the correction and Mr. Wall noted,
they are acceptable and we certainly appreciate being on the Consent Agenda.
Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the Consent
Agenda? Hearing none, Ms. Klein has been asked to read this application into the
record.
Mr. Klein: Thank you, Mr. Wall. This property was rezoned from AG1 and 2 Agricultural
Districts to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District in 2005,for office warehouse and
storage uses. The southern parcel is developed with self-storage,the eastern half
of the site is developed with office warehouse and bulk storage, and the applicant
seeks to expand the office warehouse and bulk storage yard uses onto the
remaining western half of the site. The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit
for a bulk storage yard and a Modification of Proffers request to amend proffers
one, two, and four that were associated with the rezoning of the property in 2005,
except for those proffers,the remaining proffers associated with the 2005 rezoning
remain in effect. The proposal includes four buildings with an eight foot tall privacy
and chain link fence and extensive vegetation buffer, exceeds the parking
requirements by 22 spaces, there is no additional driveway or access proposed.
And, as it falls into within the Navy restrictive easements, the Navy reviewed the
proposal and has no objection.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. That was the last item on the Regular Consent Agenda.
Mr. Weiner: Yes, madam my turn. Yes, I am making a disclosure regarding this decision items
number six and seven, I will be not voting on address a 1441 London Bridge Road,
the applicant is a client of mine. The client is Dam Neck Storage, LLC.
Ms. Wilson: No, do you work for Batchelder and Collins.
Mr. Weiner: I work for Batchelder and Collins at 2305 Granby Street in Norfolk, Virginia.
Ms. Wilson: Thank you. Within 24 hours a written letter of abstention will be provided to the
Planning Department.
3
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. So, that was the last item on the Regular Consent Agenda. The
Planning Commission also replaces the following applications for a Conditional
Use Permit for Short-Term Rental on the Consent Agenda as they meet the
applicable requirements for section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff and the
Planning Commission supports the applications and there are no speakers signed
up in opposition. These applications are number 10 and number 12. Okay, I make
a motion that we approve agenda items number 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7. And, for the
Short-Term Rentals agenda items number 10 and 12.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion for approval. Do we have a second.
Ms. Klein: I will second.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, we have a motion by Mr. Wall and a second by Ms. Klein.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Redmond, there are two Short-Term Rentals on here you need to make your
disclosure.
Mr. Redmond:Sure, I was going to wait until we had the hearing, but it seems like it is more
appropriate time. I am abstaining on not just these two items that are on our
Consent Agenda, but on every short-term rental application going forward, as well
as on our consideration of the new ordinance. I have a small client in the travel
business called Expedia Cruises, which I guess you are going to ask me to read
these addresses. Expedia Cruises is a travel agency specializing in cruises. So,
if you wanted to go to Cancun you could walk into a physical location which is what
I am helping them to find and book a cruise. They are located at 1066 West
Hastings Street, number 900 Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3X1, Canada, and
my involvement is through my commercial real estate work with my employer
Divaris Real Estate Inc. at 4525 Main Street, Suite 900, Virginia Beach, Virginia
23462. I do a small amount of work for this cruise company, they are part of a
much larger company called Expedia Group, which also owns I came to learn a
couple weeks ago for the first time, which also owns a couple of online booking
sites VRBO and HomeAway, and therefore I have concluded that it would be
inappropriate for me to participate, not just in the ordinance but in any of the short-
term rental applications, going forward so when we get to that point and the
Commission starts those considerations I will take my leave and leave them to do
their work on their own. Is there anything else you would like me to say, Ms.
Wilson. That is the last time I will make that explanation other than to say, I have
on file with the Planning Department a letter that explains my recusal from this part
of our body of work. Good. Alright. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: We had a motion by Mr. Wall a second by Ms. Klein for the Consent Agenda, we
ready to vote.
Ms. Sandloop:Okay, Mr. Alcaraz.
4
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Graham is absent. Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:Aye, with the stipulation that I am particularly recusing myself on the items with
regard to short-term rental. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Vice Chair, Wall.
Mr. Wall: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Chairman Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:By a recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against with modifications to agenda
items 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7, with modifications to agenda item six related to fencing
short-term rental agenda items 10 and 12 have been approved nine in favor and
zero against with Mr. Redmond abstaining from items 10 and 12 and Chairman
Weiner abstaining from items six and seven.

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

Hi,
I am writing to express my opinion on short term rentals in the Chic's Beach neighborhood.
I live at 4516 Ocean View Avenue, and currently there are 4 short term rentals in my one block area. If
the home at 2513 Morton's is approved as a short term rental, that would make 6.
On February 28th, there were gun shots fired from the short term rental 2 doors from me. My car ended
up with 3 bullet holes. When the police arrived, one of the police officers told me that short term rentals
are almost always trouble. So, even the police don't think they are a good idea. Most short term rentals
are reserved so people can have a large, loud party on the weekend, keeping the year round home
owners awake most of the night.
I moved to Chic's Beach because I thought is was a quiet, family friendly neighborhood. Now I am afraid it
will become the next tourist destination. It is for the above reasons I am against adding any more short
term rentals at Chic's Beach. In addition, the rentals already here should be monitored and their permits
rescinded if there is trouble.
Sincerely,
Cynthia DeGain

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: JOSEPH LAYNE DONOVAN [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 525 13th Street, Units
A & B (GPIN 24270544050000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
7,000 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D Residential District. The lot consists of one
duplex building with each of the two units containing two bedrooms. Both units are
part of this request and both units are owned by the applicant. The minimum
number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom,
or two spaces in this instance for each unit (four spaces in all). The maximum
occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for each two-bedroom Short Term
Rental unit is six (12 in all); 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.
As of March 8, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active STR
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a neighborhood
composed of a mixture of housing types with a few scattered commercial uses.
Nevertheless, the subject property lies within a block consisting primarily of single-
family dwellings. This duplex lot sits approximately .4 miles from both the public
beach of the Atlantic Ocean and the Virginia Beach Convention Center. The
applicant's parking plan depicts four off-street parking spaces on the property;
however, one space is slightly deficient in width. As a result, the applicant is willing
to add a small addition to the existing driveway to fully accommodate that
substandard parking space. Recommended condition #3 was added to address
this matter. In addition, the property lies within the boundary of the Residential
Parking Permit Program (RPPP). Consequently, another condition is
recommended that limits the parking permits issued to two resident passes for
each unit; guest and temporary passes will not be allowed while the Conditional
Use Permit is active. As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning
Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it
Joseph Layne Donovan
Page 2 of 4
acceptable. Furthermore, all other requirements listed in Section 241.2 of the CZO
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the attached Staff
Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On February 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
denial of this request by a vote of 6 to 4. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 525
25th Street, Units A & B, 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. Additional driveway surface shall be added as illustrated in the parking plan
found in the Staff report. The proposed surface material type and placement
shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review within 60-days of the
City Council public hearing. Once the Zoning Administrator's review is complete
and a material type is approved, the driveway addition shall be placed within
90-days. In addition, a building permit issued by the Permits and Inspections
Division of the Planning Department shall be obtained prior to the installation
of the driveway addition.
4. While this Conditional Use Permit is active, parking passes issued for the
subject dwelling unit(s) through the Residential Parking Permit Program
(RPPP) shall be limited to two resident passes only. Guest and temporary
passes through the RPPP shall not be permitted.
5. 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.
6. 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).

7. 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.
8. 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

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 7,000 square foot lot is located within the R-5D Duplex District and contains one duplex dwelling. The
applicant owns both units.
• According to City records,this home was constructed in 1965.
• Staff inspected the site on December 17, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• Because the existing driveway cannot fully accommodate all four required off-street parking spaces,the
applicant's representative advised of her client's willingness to enlarge the current driveway.To address this
matter, recommended condition #3 was added to this Staff report.
• The property lies within the RPPP boundary, where parking during the evening and overnight hours is limited.
Based on this, a condition is recommended that would prohibit the occupants of the STR from parking in the
street during the restricted hours.
• 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 property is located within the Lakewood subdivision,which is a neighborhood composed of a mixture of housing
types with a few scattered commercial uses. Nevertheless,the subject property lies within a block consisting primarily of
single-family dwellings.This duplex lot sits approximately.4 miles from both the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean and
the Virginia Beach Convention Center.The applicant's parking plan depicts four off-street parking spaces on the
property; however, one space is deficient in width.As a result,the applicant is willing to add a small addition to the
existing driveway to fully accommodate that substandard parking space. Recommended condition#3 was added to
Joseph Layne Donovan
Agenda Items 12 &13
Page 3
address this matter. In addition,the property lies within the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP).
Consequently,another condition is recommended that limits the parking permits issued to two resident passes for each
unit;guest and temporary passes will not be allowed while the Conditional Use Permit is active.As permitted by Section
241.2(1)of the City Zoning Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable.
Furthermore, all other requirements listed in Section 241.2 of the CZO 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

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. Additional driveway surface shall be added as illustrated in the parking plan found in the Staff report.The proposed
surface material type and placement shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review within 60-days of the
City Council public hearing. Once the Zoning Administrator's review is complete and a material type is approved,the
driveway addition shall be placed within 90-days. In addition,a building permit issued by the Permits and
Inspections Division of the Planning Department shall be obtained prior to the installation of the driveway addition.
4. While this Conditional Use Permit is active, parking passes issued for the subject dwelling unit(s)through the
Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP)shall be limited to two resident passes only. Guest and temporary passes
through the RPPP shall not be permitted.
5. 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.
6. 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).
7. 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.
8. 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.

Item # 12 & 13
Joseph Layne Donovan [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permits (Short Term Rental)
525 12th Street Units A & B
February 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL— HEARD
Mr. Dao: Yes, sir. Items number 12 and 13 is the application of Joseph Layne Donovan, a
Conditional Use Permit requests for a Short-Term Rental located at 525 13th
Street for Anits A and B in the Beach District. The applicant is Arika Atkins. Ms.
Atkins, please start your comments.
Ms. Atkins: Good afternoon. My name is Erica Atkins and I am representing Joseph Layne
Donovan's property located at 525 13th Street A and B. I have not received any
complaints referencing this permit request. I have proactively reached out to
Planning to stay informed of any emails or letters submitted with concerns, but
again, there is no opposition on record at this point with them. A letter of
recommendation has been submitted for reference in this properties file as far as
I have been informed that is the only item currently on file. This property's location
makes it a suitable short-term rental for vacationing families, and it fits with the
neighborhood's oceanfront character. There are long-term tenants currently
residing in these units at this time. The owner does have plans to renovate the
property prior to utilizing it for Short-Term Rentals, in regards to the three foot
driveway extension for the parking requirement, the owner has agreed to either
pour a three foot addition in broom brushed concrete that matches the apron or
install impervious surface. Either solution is acceptable to him, the current apron
does not match the existing driveway due to the city replacing it. They poured a
different color concrete than the existing driveway at the time of the replacement.
Matching concrete poured decades ago is practically impossible as we all know.
He is also agreed that if Planning decides on impervious surface, he will try to find
an attractive way to meet that requirement. I just wanted to add that the owner is
a 22-year real estate agent, primarily focused on properties in the surrounding
oceanfront area. He also has over 15 years of short-term rental management
experience, which should ease some concerns with any management related
issues. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am. Any other speakers?
Mr. Dao: Mr. Chair, there are no other speaker on this item.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, Ms. Klein, comments?
Ms. Klein: I have a question, what is to happen of the current long-term renters if the
application is approved?
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, are you still online?
1
Ms. Atkins: I am.The current tenants do know that there,obviously there is an orange sign out
in the front yard and the owner has spoken with them. He is not evicting them by
any means, that is why it is not a huge rush to him for the permit. But, when they
do exit, he does want to transition into the short-term rental and that is why he is
acquiring the permit now.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, any other questions for Ms. Atkins? Alright, thank you, Ms. Atkins. I will
close this and open this up for us. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, thank you. Yeah, I did get a call that someone was been trying to get in, but
I do not know what happened, it was an adjacent property owner. But, I did receive
some emails I think all of you were on those emails. I did try and find some while
we were on the virtual, I found two. I sent them to Mr. Donovan, I know Mr.
Donovan personally. I did send them to him, I thought I had some more I just have
time to find. I am hoping that you guys did see those and were you able to get
those? But, again, with the calls I have received, and also the emails, and I fully
understand the whole aspect of getting property, but it is the quiet enjoyment of
the neighbors that concern me. One comment that was just said on the resolution
that one of the speakers said, he hit the nail on the head. He said, if there is an
issue, they will take care of it and then they will move on to the next. Well, that is
what the adjacent property owner has to deal with. Yes, they move on to the next.
So, with the opposition that I received by phone calls and I thought I had more
emails that I think someone received them, I am not sure why the Staff did not get
those. But, I am not going to be supporting it. But, however, I want you all to discuss
it and we can go from there.
Mr. Weiner: Any other comments? Anybody? No comments? Well, this one is hard for me,
because I am sitting here looking-
Mr. Horsley: I lost my connection.
Mr. Redmond:David, we cannot hear you.
Mr. Tajan: I am trying to get Mr. Wiener back up. Sorry.
Mr. Weiner: Here we go. Are we good? Can you hear me now? Okay. I did not watch these
buttons, these buttons are over here. Anyway, I am sitting here looking at this on
Google Maps and this is a hard one for me, because it is right at the Beach, 13th i
Street and Mediterranean. I understand this is in a neighborhood and we are trying
to keep them out of neighborhoods. I am reluctant to agree with Mr. Alcaraz, but I
am not going to support this and it is going to be hard for me to support this one.
But, I would like to hear from other people going forward this is going to be a touchy
area. Then want to hear what you all have to say. Anybody? Go ahead Whitney.
Mr. Graham: Chairman Wiener, I will not be supporting it as well.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, nobody wants to talk do we have a motion?
2
Mr. Coston: I have got another question.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Sure.
Mr. Coston: Does Staff have any complaints of from Short-Term Rentals in the area? How
many are in the area.
Mr. Miller: We have not gotten any complaints for this particular address, as you can see on
the map, which was updated rather recently, but those are the other ones that we
know of. I have to actually look into the different streets to see what kind of
complaints we have on all those different streets, to see if there is any short-term
rental complaints.
Mr. Coston: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Robyn.
Ms. Klein: It looks like and Will please confirm this, that the one of the adjacent properties
was denied a Short-Term Rental application also.
Mr. Miller: It was and that was, Summer are you still on here? Because I think that was your
case and I think you might have some better information on that, she might have
left.
Ms. Peebles: I am here, Will. Yes, you are correct. This one was actually Kevin Hershberger's
from last year was Josetta Danner, and it was denied because they were operating
prior to their Conditional Use Permit being approved. Adjacent property owners
had complained about loud noises and there was a zoning complaint on that
specific one, which is why it was denied because they were operating and there
were also complaints. But, we do not have any on this address, at least within this
block, none. At least none that are recent. I cannot speak for perhaps the entire
area of this map, but at least for the immediately adjacent block this block we do
not have any at this point.
Mr. Miller: Thank you, Summer. I knew your memory was fantastic, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, any other comments. Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I would be more comfortable if somebody could give me an actual reason for
opposing this. I mean, other than to say somebody complained or this is sensitive
that is the entire issue and it is a difficult issue. So, I am looking for a particular
reason that this particular short-term rental is objectionable. I have not heard it yet,
so, that is my view.
Mr. Inman: Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: Yes.
3
Mr. Inman: I understand what Dave is saying. I am looking at this, there is not a real
proliferation of Short-Term Rentals in that area yet. It is an area that we seriously
considering having an overlay by right, is it not?
Mr. Weiner: It is out of the overlay by right. It is not in the OR or the RT district, that is why I
was personally thinking that in my opinion, but anyway, go ahead Mike, I am sorry.
Mr. Inman: Well, that is important, because I frankly did not realize that, okay. It is East of
Mediterranean Avenue and that has been a sort of a criteria, but it is not the OR,
it is not RT. Okay, so, that makes me think more about it. I mean, it is sort of in
the resort area, I understand it is also a neighborhood, that's what makes it tough.
If we are going to have Short-Term Rentals at all, you would think this particular
property would qualify. I mean, that is the way I am looking at it and I do not see a
really good reason to deny it. So, I would have to support it.
Mr. Redmond: Per usual, Mike said it better than I do.
Mr. Weiner: And, I am going to chime in again with Mike, and I am with you, I am sitting here
looking at it on Google Maps and it looks like to me it would be a perfect place for
a Short-Term Rental near the beach, but it is not being consistent and what we
have been talking about, it is not in the areas where we want them. My personal
opinion is I am going to be consistent with what we have been talking about. So,
that's where I stand with that. Jack, did you have your hand up?
Mr. Wall: I did, yeah. So, in terms of consistency, if it is in a neighborhood then is that what
we are looking at. Maybe outside the overlay districts that are proposed at this
point or is it, because I want to be consistent too and now I find a hard time finding
a specific reason. So, I think a lot of the other ones that we looked at,we have had
specific reasons for denial, I do not know about this one, I think that you do not see
why see if it is an area where we have been denying them and that is one thing for
set precedents, that is another, but that is my take on it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:Yeah, I am going to go back on what I said earlier, and beat the dead horse again,
about that is why this stuff belongs in the ordinance, if you want to be consistent,
then you write it into the laws. And, we do not think every time one of these things
comes up, that we got to scratch our heads and try and figure out what we did the
last time. And, I think Mike put it best, it looks to me like a short-term rental
property. Folks, if there is more than one house on a street, it is a neighborhood,
this idea that well, this is in a neighborhood, the entire city is a neighborhood. So,
I mean, everything that we have discussed, the entire concept has been about
neighborhoods, I cannot find anything unique or remarkable about this as a Short-
Term Rental. It is in a neighborhood,they are all in neighborhoods.And, if we want
to be consistent about things, then I think we ought to be as specific as we can in
the ordinance about it and not have this conversation with every single application
that comes up. So, anyway, I am going to support it and I sorry to beat the dead
horse again.

Mr. Coston: My daughter stayed a block over in a Short-Term Rental last month and it does
appear like there is more than a couple there.And, it looks like it fits the application
to me, I would support it as well.
Mr. Weiner: Is there someone who wants to make a motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I got one thing, Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: One thing that I just want to note again, I thought some of the opposition would be
voicing their opinion. But, one comment was made I actually met one of the
residents out there and just wanted you all know, they kind of called me on the
spot. But, I was asked would I live next to a Short-Term Rental, I did not answer
him I said something we think about. So, I just wanted you to know that question
was asked would I live next to one. So, having said that I would like to make a
motion.
Mr. Weiner: Go ahead.
Mr. Alcaraz: I like to make a motion that we deny the application, the Short-Term Rental.
Mr. Weiner: I got a motion for denial. Do we have a second?
Mr. Graham: I will second.
Mr. Weiner: We got a motion by Mr. Alcaraz for denial, second by Mr. Graham. Okay, we are
ready for vote.
Ms. Coleman: If you are in favor of the motion, say, yes. And, if you are opposed say, no. And,
this motion is to deny the application. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Barnes.
Mr. Barnes: Aye.

Mr. Coston: No.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my support for granting a CUP for the property located at 525 13th
Street Units A & B at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The owner of this property, Layne
Donovan, is one of my esteemed colleagues. Layne is a highly respected Realtor who exceeds
the required professional standards a vacation property manager can provide.
I have had the pleasure of working with Layne Donovan for the past fifteen years. Layne always
took the time to share with me his knowledge and understanding of STR property management.
I have since become the Atkinson Realty Vacation Rental Department manager, having
benefited from Layne's mentorship and support.
Because of Layne's knowledge and professionalism, I fully support his property to be approved
for a CUP. I am confident that Mr. Donovan will manage his short-term rental properties with the
same care, diligence, and professionalism he has always demonstrated. To this day, Layne is a
mentor and great friend.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Amber Parkes

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CESJB, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Short
Term Rental) for the property located at 409 24 1/2 Street (GPIN
24270916610000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
2,700 square foot parcel zoned A-12 Apartment District (Old Beach Overlay). The
lot consists of one single-family home 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.
As of March 8, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active STR
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Old Beach Overlay, which is a community
consisting of an assortment of development types and uses. The subject property
was developed in 1939 and sits approximately '/ miles from the public beach of
the Atlantic Ocean. The applicant's parking plan illustrates two proposed on-site
compacted gravel parking spaces. In addition, the applicant is willing to add a code
compliant entryway apron on 24 1/2 Street. A recommended condition was added
to address this matter. Furthermore, since parking access can only be granted
from an improved right-of-way and the 10-foot alley is intended for southbound
traffic only, another recommended condition is included requiring the placement of
a hedgerow bordering the proposed driveway. The aim of the hedgerow is to
dissuade vehicle operators whose intentions may be to park on the subject
property, from entering the 10-foot alley in the wrong direction. This hedgerow will
clearly delineate the extents of the alley and the private property. The applicant is
agreeable to the placement of the hedgerow as depicted in the parking plan found
in the Staff report. Another condition is recommended to address the existing
compacted gravel currently on the subject property. This gravel is presently used
in connection with the 10-foot alley, and until recently, continued onto the abutting
CESJB, LLC
Page 2 of 4
lot to the north. Since the northern lot is now under development, the alleyway
gravel located on that lot was removed and a concrete driveway for the newly built
single-family home will be poured in its place. Consequently, Staff feels that the
area of gravel associated with the 10-foot alley on the subject lot may be confusing
to motorists. Therefore, Staff recommends that it be removed. The applicant is
agreeable to this condition. As permitted by Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning
Ordinance (CZO), the Zoning Administrator approved the applicant's parking plan.
In addition, all other requirements found in Section 241.2 of the CZO 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.
There was one letter of opposition received relating to this request. The author of
this letter expressed concern relating to the number of Short Term Rentals on this
block and their impacts to the tranquility of nearby residents due to behavioral
spillover. Additionally, the author of the letter voiced their worry over neighbor
policing of the property, especially late at night.
• Recommendation:
On February 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
1 . The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 409
24 '/2 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. A driveway apron meeting Public Works Specifications and Standards shall be
installed along 24'A Street within 90-days of City Council approval. As illustrated
on the parking plan included in the Staff report, this apron shall be used for
vehicle entry and exit onto the proposed 9-foot by 36-foot north/south oriented
compacted gravel driveway.
4. As illustrated on the parking plan found in the Staff report, a planted hedgerow
shall be installed within 90-days of City Council approval. All proposed plant
species shall be submitted for review to the Zoning Administrator. Only those
species approved by the Zoning Administrator shall be installed.
5. All compacted gravel on the east side of the subject lot, located between the
dwelling and the eastern property line, shall be removed within 90-days of City
Council approval. As illustrated in the parking plan included in the Staff report,
this requirement does not include the proposed north/south oriented 9-foot by
36-foot compacted gravel driveway.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 2,700 square foot lot is located within the A-12 Apartment District (Old Beach Overlay) and contains one
single-family dwelling.
• According to City records,this home was constructed in 1939.
• Staff inspected the site on December 17, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• According to the applicant's representative,the previous owners of the home have rented the house out on a
short term basis for many years; however, they did not register the rental with the Commissioner of the
Revenue.
• The subject dwelling was constructed before on-site parking was mandatory; therefore, the property does not
currently meet the off-street parking requirements for Short Term Rental use. Because of this,the applicant is
willing to add a code compliant entry apron on 24%2 Street and a 9-foot wide by 36-foot long north/south
oriented compacted gravel driveway. A recommended condition was added to address this matter.
• On-street parking is not permitted on this portion of 24 %2 Street, nor is it permitted in the 10-foot alley.
• 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 property is located within the Old Beach Overlay and was partially included in the original subdivision plat created
by the Virginia Beach Development Company in 1915 (it was later subdivided by deed). The Old Beach community
includes an assortment of development types and uses with Baltic Avenue acting as a separation line between higher
and lower density zoning districts. Specifically, much of the property east of Baltic Avenue falls within a higher density
apartment zoning district, while much of the property west of Baltic Avenue falls within a lower density residential
zoning district. Admittedly, exceptions to this statement can be found both east and west of Baltic Avenue.The subject
property lies east of Baltic Avenue, was developed in 1939, contains one single-family home, and is assigned to the A-12
Apartment Zoning District. Additionally,this home sits approximately% miles from the public beach of the Atlantic
Ocean. The applicant's parking plan illustrates two proposed on-site compacted gravel parking spaces. Based on the
specifics noted in the "Site Conditions and History" section of this Staff report, as well as recommended conditions 3, 4,
and 5,the Parking plan was deemed acceptable by The Zoning Administrator as permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City
Zoning Ordinance (CZO). In addition, all other requirements found in Section 241.2 of the CZO pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.

Agenda Item 15

As noted above,the applicant is willing to add a code compliant entry apron on 24%Street and a 9-foot wide by 36-foot
long north/south oriented compacted gravel driveway to meet the parking requirements.A recommended condition
was added to address this matter.
Since parking access can only be granted from an improved right-of-way,and the 10-foot alley is intended for
southbound traffic only,a recommended condition is included requiring the placement of a hedgerow bordering the
proposed driveway.The aim of the hedgerow is to dissuade vehicle operators,whose intentions may be to park on the
subject property,from entering the 10-foot alley in the wrong direction and to clearly delineate the extents of the alley
and the private property. The applicant is agreeable to the placement of the hedgerow as depicted in the parking plan
found in this Staff report.
Another condition is also recommended addressing the existing compacted gravel currently on the subject property.
This gravel is presently used in connection with the 10-foot alley,and until recently,continued onto the abutting lot to
the north.Since the northern lot is now being developed,the alleyway gravel located on that lot was removed and a
concrete driveway for the newly built single-family home will be poured in its place. Consequently,Staff feels that the
area of gravel associated with the 10-foot alley on the subject lot may be confusing to motorists.Therefore,Staff
recommends that it be removed.The applicant is agreeable to this condition.
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

Ref: Short Term Rental 409 24 1/2 Street
Dear Chair Weiner and Members of the Planning Commission:
Once again you are asked to approve another short-term rental
in a predominately residential setting. Even though three short-term
rentals were approved June 2020 just north of this site by some of the
same shareholders in CESJB, it still does not negate the fact short term
rentals are business entities with compounding implications.
These decisions need to be made from a macro as well as a micro
basis as the impacts can be profound in the immediate area due to the
absence of year-round neighbors and the potential for behavioral spill-
overs. Commissioners George Alcaraz and Dee Oliver gave very
compelling descriptions of these issues at your recent short-term rental
workshop. There is nothing benign nor innocuous about these business
ventures as they have lasting consequences. No one should have to
make calls in the middle of the night to restore calm and a sense of civility
and then have to wait for the "cavalry" to arrive. It is very easy for those
that do not live in our affected neighborhoods to have a very different
view of what constitutes quality-of-life when their tranquility is not
impacted.
It cannot be overstated, this area has undergone a long and
arduous transformation over the past decades that encouraged year-
round residential families to see these neighborhoods as worthy of their
time, energy and commitment to make this their home. Each approval is
another tear in the fabric of our community. Please protect our quality of
life and our commitments to our communities which began years before
the short-term rental invasion.
Respectfully,
Nancy K. Parker

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: ALBERT & ENIT LULUSHI [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 528 Vanderbilt
Avenue (GPIN 2426394440). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
5,000 square foot parcel zoned R-10 Residential District. The lot consists of one
single-family home containing four bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or four spaces in
this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
four-bedroom Short Term Rental is 12; 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.
As of March 8, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active STR
advertisements associated with the subject address; however, it does list a last
documented STR stay of 121-180 days.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the Croatan subdivision, which primarily consists of
single-family dwellings. The subject property sits approximately 400 feet from the
public beach of the Atlantic Ocean. The applicant's parking plan depicts all four
required off-street parking spaces within the existing driveway, which meet the
requirements of Section 241.2(1) the City Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, all
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to
the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There was one speaker in opposition and six speakers in support of this request
at the Planning Commission public hearing. The opposition was a neighbor who
lives across the street from the proposed Short Term Rental property. Concerns
expressed were related to the number of Short Term Rentals in Croatan and their
perceived impacts on traffic, parking, noise, enforcement by neighbors, and
worsening beach erosion due to its increased use. Ultimately, 10 letters of support,
six letters of opposition, and two petitions of general support and opposition for
Albert & Enit Lulushi
Page 2 of 4
STRs in Croatan were received by Staff. Only the petition of opposition was
provided to the Planning Commission because the petition of support was received
after the February 10, 2021 public hearing had adjourned.
• Recommendation:
On February 10, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
denial of this request by a vote of 9 to 1. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 528
Vanderbilt Avenue, and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the
principal structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
3. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of

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

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

Albert & Enit Lulushi [Applicants & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
528 Vanderbilt Avenue
February 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL— HEARD
Mr. Dao: The last item on today's agenda is the application of Albert and Enit Lulushi, for a
Conditional Use Permit for Short-Term Rental located at 528 Vanderbilt Avenue in
the Beach District. The applicant is Enit Lulushi. Ms. Lulushi, please start your
comments. You have up to 10 minutes.
Mr. Tajan: I am sorry, Ms. Lulushi, if you can hold on one second. Just to be clear the motion
failed on a vote of three for and seven against. And, I guess I just want to be sure,
Ms. Wilson we do not have to vote again, right. It is just the denial recommendation
because of the failed motion for approval.
Ms. Wilson: It should it be seven to three, we only have 10 members. I figured the Math
question out.
Mr. Tajan: Just to be cleared for the record, it was three for, seven against, the motion failed,
which is a recommendation for denial. Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Ms. Lulushi, I am sorry. Go ahead and please go with your comments, thank you.
Ms. Lulushi: Thank you Planning Commissioner, this is Enit Lulushi applying for 528 Vanderbilt
Avenue. Thank you for taking time to listen to our application, it is much
appreciated to be able to apply for a CUP, made even harder with these virtual
meetings now. My husband apologizes; he could not be here due to a looming
deadline at work. Mr. Miller and the Staff, we have no words to express our
gratitude for your professionalism and dedication about work during these four long
months, thank you for your help. When were looking to buy this house in summer
of 2020, we had already been an enthusiastic Croatan homeowner since 2003,
seven years, and summer vacationers since late 20th century. The first time we
heard of Croatan was from Atkinson Realty, who currently has a property while
renting a house in the North End. So, I believe Croatan Oceanfront home at the
time and we immediately under appeal once we stayed there, filling them with a
neighborhood and neighbors in a tiny quiet public beach with lifeguards rules and
regulations. We knew right there and then this is where we want our second home-
roots. This is since,the definition of summer at the beach for us. It is the only beach
our kids know, our primary residence is in Northern Virginia, and most DC
suburbanites indeed consider Delaware and Maryland beaches due to proximity,
but a big shout out to the City of Virginia Beach for having one of the most amazing
family friendly boardwalks and the most beautiful and vibrant tourist destination
1
sitting in the Middle Atlantic with a rich history to boot. I have this feeling that we
do not want to ever leave this town. So, I have a long list here of why we love
Virginia Beach and Croatan, but I understand time is of the essence, so I am going
to skip those except for saying there are a lot of things that we love in Virginia
Beach, but Croatan is the jewel of our heart. We love the neighborhood, we love
our neighbors, and so far, we have been enthusiastic Croatan Civic League
supporters. What that means is not only do we pay a voluntary membership fee,
but we also occasionally donate to the police and safety fund. So, they hire a cop
to patrol our streets. We made countless friends here among full time residents
and second homeowners with whom we enjoy summers at the beach. Our
children's learned to ride their bikes on Vanderbilt Avenue and Croatan,and surfed
with Croatan kids. Our son's middle school science fair project in 2010 was about
the Croatan jetty and their ocean,all ready for the Army Corps of Engineers school.
We have enjoyed Fourth of July parties here at the Virginia Dare cul-de-sac with
face paint, fireworks, parades, free endless margaritas, for adults only I believe,
where our kids even won a purple peanut, Easter egg hunt, national night out, you
name it, we are ourselves part of a Croatan community and I visit emotionally to
see it thrive and flourish. Basically, that was a very long way of saying that we do
care about and are not just financially but most importantly emotionally invested in
Croatan and the whole of Virginia Beach. All this is part of our life and we are
committed to preserve the image of Virginia Beach and specifically Croatan as a
beautiful vacation place for families.We are committed to having families vacation
here, being impressed with Croatan and Virginia Beach,and ultimately like us, buy
their own second home here. And, our guest too, which you can see in the packet
from their letters, they did plan our first home and they bought a new house here.
The good vacation home in Croatan and I will never ever call or consider it a
business. It is just a vacation home, it is a great asset to Croatan, it is a great asset
to Virginia Beach at large. You have nothing to be afraid o,f decent hard working
family,your kids here year after year and having(inaudible 02:04:24) retiring home
roots here when the time comes and we are committed to respect the quiet
residential nature of the neighborhood and our neighbors right to peaceful
enjoyment of their property. But, by living here we got a better understanding on
what exactly we needed and wanted in a Beach. Slowly a sufficient number of
bedrooms and bathrooms,decks and preferably more ocean views. Really,we are
looking for a grandfathered property to buy. However, by the time we got ourselves
preapproved for financing, yes, we do have a mortgage, and as we found out it is
not as easy as it was before 2008, to prequalify any and all grandfathered
properties in Croatan in our price range means magically disappeared from the
market at full price or higher, even though they are not necessarily in a turnkey
condition. Our home on 528 Vanderbilt was never rented and it is not
grandfathered property. It is a beautiful home, we love it, it works perfectly for us
as a second home and later will be our retirement home. It does have indeed all of
the things that you are looking for in a house. But, it has stayed in the market for
more than eight months because it was not a grandfathered property. And, we
gather a great deal from the sellers who are selling it for a considerably lower price
2
than what they paid 15 years ago. We did not think that the house was not being
grandfathered would be an issue or give us headaches in any way. When we put
the contract in means, the proposal on the city website had Croatan or at least the
three streets closest to the ocean as part of the overlay district. Having been here
forever essentially, we know how Croatan has always been a healthy mix of
vacation second homes that are rented weekly in summer as well as fulltime
residences and that the overlay sounded perfectly reasonable and the most natural
thing to us. What is the difference anyway between North End and Croatan, you
guys tell me. Of course, we thought it made perfect sense, all Croatan homes on
Vanderbilt,Surfside,and Safford and three streets with less than a five minute walk
from the beach should be allowed to be STRs. Literally, the beach is so close to
the streets and residents park on our streets and walk to the beachfront as well.
And, no normal home insurance by the way will insure these homes either because
they are too close to the ocean.And, because of the neighborhood dynamics,there
will always be fulltime residents as well as second homeowners. As a matter of
fact, comparing with 2003, fulltime homeownership here has increased
considerably. There is zero chance this becomes Airbnb hotspot, we are all
ferociously and equally committed to keep this neighborhood as the ultimate
definition of an upscale residential neighborhood. Regardless to how long we
reside here during the year, by mid-August, when we closed our house, that
overlay proposal for Croatan had magically disappeared from the city proposal.
And, now we will have to apply for a CUP and we said what's the big deal, we
check the requirements. We have five parking spots for a four bedroom house.
And, there is a CUP process that allows us to apply. So, everybody so far has the
right to apply for CUP, a Conditional Use Permit. It is a certainly long, not only until
a bit more than a year ago, it was perfectly legal to rent short-term. So, our rights
recently shrank a bit, now we do not have the right to rent short-term, but we do
have the rights to apply for a CUP. But, now we risk losing them entirely, if these
new changes you do get approved.We are concerned with where this is going and
about losing a right that only a short year ago was universal in the city. And, indeed
we do support universal by right STR rights for homeowners of the whole Virginia
Beach, but specifically for Croatan, which is a beachfront vacation neighborhood.
That is really the main reason we want to be able legally to rent short-term. If we
so desire, we strongly believe it is a national right, some call it the homeowners
panel of right that comes with homeownership, even more so with a property so
close to the beach in a neighborhood that historically and continually has been a
vacation neighborhood and that has been built by surfers as such. We see a little
support from neighbors about the history. Second,we do not want our home empty
for long continuous periods of time.Third,flexibility is also something we need and
we would not get with longer term rentals. Be able to visit our home at least monthly
for the rest of the year. That is what we need. Thus, we shall not run a full year
STR operation here, week in and week out just a few weeks. Our schedules are
such that we can come for a weekend or for longer periods of time on a whim and
at a short notice, handing the keys to someone for long extended periods of time
would deprive us from enjoying our own property. We have owned the house for
3
six months they have been visiting at least once per month except for and in long-
term. Our renting we have it rented with a very long term lease over three months
and we did have two leases of 31 days or more. We are registered with the
Commissioner of Revenue for transit and lodging taxes and just renew for 2020.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, thank you very much for your comments. You are out of time. Does
anybody have any questions? Nope. Okay. Speakers?
Mr. Dao: Mr. Chair, we have eight speakers signed up for this item. The first speaker is John
Mannarino, followed by Christopher Sprauer. Mr. Mannarino, please start your
comments.
Mr. Mannarino: Good afternoon. This is Captain Mannarino, thank you for the opportunity to
respond to Ms. Lulushi's application, I am in opposition to this application. You
have before you my registered letters of opposition, indicating why I do not want
this property be considered a short-term rental. I really do not want to spend the
time to repeat what I already wrote in the letters. You know, the instances of traffic
problems, parking problems, ingress and egress issues because Croatan is single
in and single out, and of course the beach. The beach, which has not been
extended or restored in accordance with the Moffatt and Nichol study still remains
an issue for the residents of Croatan by adding additional short-term residences to
Croatan and for Vanderbilt, there are at least 16 properties on each street, and at
least another 10 on Surfside, you got that spreadsheet from our short-term rental
committee as part of the Civic League, of which I am a member and also a board
member, but I am speaking for myself. I have also had a negative experience with
the property adjacent to me, I live at 525, 519 has been a rental property both short
and long-term and that property has been problematic. In fact, the first time we
moved here 519, hosted college beach weekend and the property owner at the
time of 519, assured us that it was rented by responsible people. But, the after
party ensued and the police were called because at 4 am there were disturbances
ongoing. As far as it being a long-term property 519, is also experienced an odd
mix of individuals renting the property, including people who caused $15,000 in
damage for the new owner of the property, who also owns three additional
properties in Croatan. Now, of course that is 519, for 528, we have observed that
that property has been rented for a while. But in fact, those renters were quiet and
did not seem to create any problem, but that property was also vacant for a good
portion of the year, as are many properties in Croatan that are considered vacation
homes. So, the onus is on us to monitor the property to ensure that there is nothing
untoward going on and also to register any complaints with the city. When you do
that you always risk retaliation in doing so. For 528, our concern is simply this. It
is a smaller property, it has only four parking spaces, it does have on street parking,
which is limited, but often that on street parking is taken up by surfers as well as
during the season beach goers. It is problematic when you walk down the street,
where there are no sidewalks and you have people orbiting the block during the
summer looking for spaces. It is also a challenge to leave my driveway. So, in fact,
if we look at all the properties that I am surrounded with, that are Short-Term
4
Rentals or potentially Short-Term Rentals,there is not any issue here with whether
or not it is suitable, because you know, as well as I do, what Croatan is zoned for,
it is zoned medium density residential.
Mr. Weiner: Sir, thank you for your comments. Do we have any questions? No questions.
Okay, next speaker please.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Christopher Sprauer, followed by Jane Perello. Mr. Sprauer,
please begin your comments. We move on to next speaker Jane Perello, followed
by Amber Parker. Ms. Perello, please start your comments. Ms. Perello, please
start your comments. We will move on to the next speaker,Amber Parker followed
by Claire Yoder. Ms. Parker, please start your comments. We will move on to the
next speaker Claire Yoder, followed by Paige Miyares. Ms. Yoder, please start
your comment.
Ms. Yoder: This is Claire Yoder. Can you all hear me?
Mr. Dao: Yes, ma'am. Please start your comments.
Ms. Yoder: Great, I live at 622 Vanderbilt Avenue, and more recently purchased 624, South
Atlantic. I have been in Croatan for 15 years, I do not rent properties, I do not have
plans to rent properties. I am not testifying on behalf of the Lulushi's because I
have a vested interest in the Short-Term Rental. I am testifying on behalf of them
and for the Short-Term Rental for the Lulushi's because I feel very strongly that
Croatan has a community vibe and a community character of a mix of people. My
husband Eric and I are just the kind of people who like that sort of community. We
did not want a gated community, we did not want I do not know how to say, just
highly wealthy kind of country club, I do not know, and Croatan appealed to us. I
think that I know the character of the neighborhood and I think Short-Term Rentals
fit into it, I think that we have one right across from us, we have two beside on
either side of us.We have enjoyed the people who come and I know it sounds odd.
But, we just really feel it as part of the community to be near a beach like this and
see families come and enjoy as we did when we were younger. So, that is it, I just
think the Lulushi's are good people, they are going to be very responsible. I know,
they have worked very, very hard on this.And, I understand some neighbors have
had some bad experiences, I feel bad for them. But again,we at the Civic League,
I used to be on the board of the Civic League, are working on and really needs to
do a lot more to help with the enforcement that already exists on a few of these
properties. That said, I do support limiting them to the extent of maybe the three
streets that are close to the ocean, because if you get an 80% mix, I do not know
if that would ever happen, but, I think you can be overwhelmed by them. But, at
this point, we have actually sold quite a few Short-Term Rentals, they have been
transferred back into primary homes, and we are at the same stable number that
we were at two or three years ago. So, I track these things and that is my comment.
Thank you for listening.
Mr. Dao: Thank you, ma'am. The next speaker is Paige Miyares.

Mr. Weiner: Excuse me one second. I am getting a text that people are trying to get through
and they are not being able to, the people we have you called and said they were
not there. They are not being able to hook to get online.
Mr. Dao: Yeah. They were on, but they got disconnected.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Dao: If they sign in back on, we can call them back we can do that.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Paige Miyares, followed by Dana Sampson. Ms. Miyares,
please start your comments.
Ms. Miyares: Thank you. I am speaking on behalf of the Lulushi's, they have engaged with us to
manage the property assuming that the CUP is approved, they have not rented it
previous to this. And, they are waiting to do things the right way and get their
approval. Croatan has been a historically a vacation rental spot and I think the
thing to note for you and I would ask the Commissioners is that the new ordinance
has not been passed, we do not know what it will look like when it is passed. You
guys do not know if they will make changes to it as far as the streets in Croatan or
other things and you certainly do not know when it will be passed. So,the request
is that you look at this application on merits today, based on the ordinance that we
have today. So,that would be the first thing.The other thing and this kind of relates
back to the gentleman's comments earlier, the Croatan beach is an asset of the
City of Virginia Beach, it is an asset of all the citizens, it is not owned by Croatan
or their citizens. If they would like to purchase it from the City of Virginia Beach,
perhaps then they can speak about it as if they do own it. But, they do not. It is
an asset and it should be leveraged for all of the citizens of Virginia Beach including
using it to attract tourists to our area to spend their tourist dollars. So, I would ask
you to consider those two things as you look at this at this application. This is a
great application, Ms. Lulushi they have been very responsible hosts and
landlords, and as you heard her say that she uses it quite often herself and plans
to retire there. So, I asked that you would consider this I ask that you that you
would pass it, that you would approve that. It is a model place for our vacationers
to come and visit our beautiful city and enjoy our beach as citizens of Virginia
Beach. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Thank you, ma'am. The next speaker is Dana Sampson, followed by Kendall
Maynard. Ms. Sampson, please start your comments.
Ms. Sampson:Thank you so much. I just wanted to speak on behalf of or in support of Enit's
request for the CUP, Enit's home in Croatan is in one of our oceanfront area
neighborhoods where homes have been used as Vacation Rentals for many years.
She has made this home safe and available to visiting families to enjoy their beach
vacation and has followed all the necessary requirements of the existing
ordinance. I in general support all applications, excuse me, in principle, based on
6
the belief that we have that it is a natural right of a homeowner to rent their house
short-term, long-term, however, they decide as long as they comply with the City
Ordinances. As such, I am in support of Enit's CUP application and ask for a
favorable recommendation from Planning. Thanks so much for your time.
Mr. Dao: Thank you, ma'am. Our next speaker is Kendall Maynard,followed by Christopher
Sprauer. Ms. Maynard. Please start your comments.
Ms. Maynard: Hi,this is Kendall Maynard. I am a long-term and short-term operator in North End,
and I fully support this type of STR in Croatan at 528 Vanderbilt and the Lulushi's
have done everything required of them. I have done a North End STR for 35 years,
and I believe that it is the homeowners right and natural right as well. The
opposition unfortunately had a bad experience. That happens everywhere,
whether it is long-term or short-term or even in your own home sometimes. So,
that has to be taken into account. The STR operators who serve guests and
maintain these properties are extremely conscientious and are abiding by all these
requirements for contracts per week and parking. This looks like a beautiful home
to have as your next vacation for your own family with a great location close to the
beach.The likely guests will be families that do not cause any of the alleged issues
that are being discussed. No more traffic than normal with a family that owns the
property, no more noise or litter. Most STR operators track the deposit, so, if there
is anything needed, the deposit will take care of it or as Atkinson has said, a lot of
times they charge an extra insurance policy. But, we do not even want to get to
those problems, we screen families heavily before we even allow them to rent,
long-term or short-term. Most families are very conscientious and well behaved. I
have not had a problem in 35 years, the very small problems I have had I have
taken care of with the help of my real estate company. I believe Atkinson's a great
real estate company will help the city to have a great STR location for families to
come visit.There should be no concerns for this lovely family oriented STR. Please
vote for this STR, the Lulushi's are very responsible. As David Redmond said
earlier, the entire city is a neighborhood there is a serious organic need for STR
housing in the city. And, as pointed out by our previous speaker, several STRs
have gone back to the homeowners living in them,while some STRs are applying.
So,there is a natural attrition rate that is going on that I do not think has even been
considered by the Planning Commission. So, I fully support STRs by right and right
of the property owner. And, I believe this would be a great asset for the city and
for Croatan. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Redmond, go ahead. Do you have a question?
Mr. Redmond:Yeah, I just want to clarify. This last speaker mentioned some of my comments, I
want to clarify the comment I was making earlier with regard to the organic need
for housing was for a primary residences and specifically in regards to a multifamily
application that we considered earlier. So, I do not want my words to be
misconstrued or to be misinterpreted in any way. Thanks.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Hoa, any more speakers?
7
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Christopher Sprauer, followed by Jane Perello. Mr. Sprauer,
please start your comment.
Mr. Sprauer: Yes, I am just trying to speak in favor of her Conditional Use Permit as a
homeowner in Croatan Beach, on Surfside. There is this ongoing debate inside of
Croatan with the Civic League and everyone else as far as what to do with the
Short-Term Rentals from speaking for many of the neighbors walking around,
seems like you get a very mixed reaction, but my take is that it is the homeowners
right and inherit right to do what their property they see fit based on what the
current laws are at the time and under the current recommendations without the
STR overlay being ratified one way or the other. It should be her right to do with
her property as she sees fit. That is why her Conditional Use Permit should be
considered until the City Council comes down with some guidance one way or the
other long-term as to what to do. So, I will forego the rest of my time, and that is
just my take on it. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Thank you, sir. The next speaker is Jane Perello, followed by Amber Parker. Ms.
Perello, please start your comments. Ms. Perello, Please start your comments.
We will move on to the next speaker, Amber Parker. Ms. Parker, please start your
comments.
Ms. Parker: Hi, can everyone hear me?
Mr. Dao: Yes, ma'am. Please start your comments.
Ms. Parker: Hi, my name is Amber Parker. Thank you for having me. I am the Vacation
Department Manager at Atkinson Realty and I have worked for Atkinson Realty
and the Vacation Department for 15 years. We are in support of the CUP for the
property located at 528 Vanderbilt Avenue. We maintain the properties year round.
We are in constant contact with our owners, our tenants, we meet them every
Saturday when the guest checks in, they come in we see them in person. We
address any issues that they may have when they get here, what the check in
procedure, checkout procedure is, somebody from our staff goes in every week to
make sure everything is okay. We have worked with the Lulushi's for years. We
manage one of their properties as well as several other owners in the Croatan
neighborhood and we do our best to make sure everything, there is just families
they have a good time on vacation. They do not disturb anybody. They get along
well with a lot of the neighbors, some of the people that have come back year after
year are actually friends with a lot of the families in Croatan. And, just we strive to
be professional, we give excellent service to make sure everybody has a great
time, and we have on call staff 24/7, so, if anybody has any issues or if there is
any problems, there is somebody. We all live here and we address the problems
directly and we are available 24/7. So, I believe that Enit has done everything to
check all the boxes and the CUP should be approved and professionally managed.
We are happy to do that for her with Atkinson Realty.

Mr. Dao: Thank you ma'am. Caller 21, can you please identify yourself? Caller 21. We will
try Jane Perello one more time. Ms. Perello,are you there?That is all the speakers
we have.
Mr. Weiner: That is all the speakers. Okay. Ms. Lulushi so you have any other comments that
you would like to make?
Ms. Lulushi: Yes, I would like to make comments to your response to Mr. Mannarino, who is a
neighbor that we have met and we laugh together with his spouse. We naturally
do not condone any unfortunate and disorderly events that may or may not have
happened in Croatan, and that certainly were not caused by us or by our guests.
We intend to assure all our neighbors and relieve them from their anxieties as long
or at least as our property in our case is that we are meant to be part of the solution
and not the problem in Croatan. First of all, this is all anecdotal or very long time
ago experience or example that he gave. I do find it very telling and encouraging
in a way that two family members in their letter among them Mr. Mannarino to work
hard and drive deep in their joint memory lanes, at least five years back, because
when he moved in. So, I did calculate the time backwards and this unfortunate and
this horrible event must have happened around 2015. So, why I find this
encouraging is because(inaudible 02:29:41)find on the ground,then maybe these
are not as frequent as we are led to believe and we intend indeed to just rent to
families, families only multigenerational kids. The other issue I wanted to address
is because we rent to the families and because we do have four parking spots
which the Staff already approved that is sufficient parking for our permit. We do
have an exact guest space,we literally have five parking spaces for this house and
we do not think we will ever have to work more than two or three cars parked in
our driveway. Just think a little bit. They want to lease their personal property, their
car with street parking,when they have dedicated parking in the property that they
are renting with five parking spaces in it. There is no reason our guests would be
doing that. So, it kind of defies logic actually to use that as an excuse. The other
thing is people come for vacation at the beach,they do not go around finding some
parking spots. They sit there in their house have breakfast and sit at the beach,
they do not cause additional traffic in Croatan. They do not cause the erosion in
Croatan. Like Paige also emphasized,this is a public beach and it is really regretful
that these about who gets to sit on the beach in Croatan beachfront. I have a house
there, are you guys telling me that I cannot have my guests sit on the beach or are
you telling me, yes, you may have your brother sit there, but you may not get
money for anybody in your house. And, therefore he should not be sitting there,
so, where do you guys draw this line on this? And, there are a lot of exclusive
properties with beachfront, they are in the Hamptons, they are in Malibu, Martha's
Vineyard. I do not know. Maybe in order to live in an exclusive neighborhood like
this and buy a home there. But, I love the public beach of Virginia Beach. I do love
it, I do love the lifeguards, I do love how you guys have rules and regulations. No
place on the beach 10 to 4 or 10 to 6, whatever that is during summer days.
Everything is open to all public and what makes people seem that my guests who
are on the beach more than the public parking lots guests of Croatan. Everybody
9
is entitled, they park in the parking lot, they can use the beach, it is a free public
beach. I do not understand this. The other issue is that in one of our letters, one
of our neighbors says that we did not address their concerns. It is not true at all,
you have it in your packets in front of you. We went the extra mile to contact
everybody. We contact with everybody verbally, we gave them our contacts. We
let them know our intentions. We try to ensure them for their anxieties that we do
not intend to let rowdy people and non-related parties. No college students, no
people under 25.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, thank you for your comments, I appreciate that. Does anybody have any
questions for Ms. Lulushi? Questions, no. Alright, and that is all the speakers.
Mr. Dao: Yes, sir. That is all the speakers we have on this item.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. We will close this and open it up for discussion. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: I am open to hear some other comments, but I guess I will get started. I hear Ms.
Lulushi's comments, I hear her by right, I hear supporters by right. I fully agree.
And, I guess on my lap is the concern that and I heard one of the speakers said it
is a principle thing. But, yeah, it is and I fully understand. But, what concerns me
is the reality of what is happening. And, like I said one of the speakers hit the nail
on the head when he was expressing his viewpoint. Sorry,there is a lot of feedback
I do not know what that is. But anyway, he had mentioned that when there is issue,
they will take care of it, they will fix it and they will move on to the next. And, that
is exactly what happens to some of these. I am not saying all of them. And, then
the bottom line it all comes down to management. Management is where it comes
down and, of course, we do not have a history of management on these. We are
not supposed to have a history of management. We are not supposed to have
history of incidents because they are not supposed to be operational. But, my
concern is, this subdivision with the Civic League has voiced their concern, it is
100 plus is what I have heard from, I know we have heard for some support. I am
sorry, there is a lot of noise. Can you guys hear me? But anyway, I just want to
make sure that the reason I cannot support this is because I am on the side of the
Civic League, the majority of the Civic League, I am on the side of not turning this
in to what they call a commercial rental area. I fully agree with long-term rentals
out there. I think in the past years, when I was growing up, my family rented out
there.So, but that is what I have to say right now with rentals and short-term aspect
in Croatan.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, thank you, sir. Any other comments. Somebody?
Mr. Inman: I will go.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Inman: I certainly agree with George. Croatan it has grown into more of a neighborhood, I
think over the years than maybe it was years ago. And, people who have bought
there, have invested significant sum of money in their homes with an expectation
10
of some peace and solitude. Yes, it is a public beach that is not the point of this.
There is plenty of people has been said utilizing the public beach by parking in the
public streets in Croatan, which they have a right to do. So, it is a public beach and
is being used as a public beach, it does not mean that the neighborhood has to
devote itself or allow members of the community to create mini hotels. And, part of
the problem in Croatan and Short-Term Rentals is in fact the number of people
that can be housed in one dwelling. So, it is just and there are a number of Short-
Term Rentals in Croatan and there is plenty right now. I cannot support this
application.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, Mr. Inman. Anybody else?
Mr. Coston: Yes, as I listened to one of the speakers on the behalf of the applicant, who talked
about dealing with issues as they are right now and I know sometimes we look
down the road and wonder what might happen. So, whether these things should
be approved or not approved based on what will or might happen.And, I think right
now, we should probably deal with the ordinance as it is. I agree with that concept,
I do not think that we should look to what might happen or what will happen. And,
I am going to support it. I think there was plenty of support there. And, it is one of
the safest communities in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I mean, there is nothing any
safer than Croatan if you know the history. So, that is my comment, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any other comments? Well, you all know where I am. I am going
to be consistent with what we have been putting off for the last couple months and
today. So, do we have a motion? George?
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, I am going to have to make a motion that we deny the application.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, do we have a second?
Mr. Wall: I will second.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, we have a motion by Mr. Alcaraz for denial and second by Mr. Wall. We
are ready for vote.
Ms. Coleman: If you are in favor of the motion, say, yes. And, if you are opposed say, no. Mr.
Alcaraz.

Dear Commissioners,
Let me begin by saying thank you for giving me the opportunity to respond to this
application. I am sure you can appreciate that this has been a trying year for many
reasons, notwithstanding the pandemic, pandemic politics, and politics at the local, state
and federal level.
I look forward to returning to normal and once again being able to enjoy simple pleasures
like sitting on the beach, cycling the neighborhood, walking the dog, shopping, strolling the
boardwalk, eating out and gathering at public events and not wearing a mask.
The last thing I want to do is address this forum on short term rentals and the impact
they have on the very pursuits I have just recounted to you. You see, while those
activities are the very reasons for which I moved to Croatan, I find myself unable to fully
enjoy them because I am worried that short term rentals are proliferating in our
neighborhood bringing with them a level of uncertainty and anxiety.
Uncertainty and anxiety have been the common thread linking the times we are living
through with the uncertainty and anxiety brought about by short term renters and
property owners to the community. Simply put, we do not know who will be occupying these
properties every time they are rented. We don't know what their intentions are or their
commitment to obeying the rules of common courtesy, civilized behavior and regulations
governing the use of the property. We don't know if the city will be able to enforce
regulations or respond to complaints in a timely manner. We don't know if property
managers and owners will screen their guests, maintain their properties and ensure
community concerns will be respected and considered.
We have heard assurances from the City Council, the Planning Commission, property
managers and owners that STRs will have minimal impact, will not be an imposition on the
community, will not stress services and infrastructure and will enrich us all. We have had
four years of such non-binding assurances, so forgive me if I remain skeptical. That
skepticism is behind my objection to 5TRs and has been validated by experiences I have
endured while living next to and near short term rental properties since I moved here. .
Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns.
Respectfully,
John Mannarino

I am writing to register my opposition to the following STR CUP application:
Albert & Enit Lulushi Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) 528 Vanderbilt
Avenue Request for a 4-bedroom Short Term Rental. 2020-PCCC-00322
1. Vanderbilt Avenue already has a number of rental properties in close proximity to this
site - one of which is next door to my property, while others are directly behind me and
several doors down. We are literally hemmed in by rental properties.
2. Vanderbilt Avenue barely accommodates two way vehicular traffic during the
daytime, especially in the summer, because it is one of the few streets in Croatan
designated for on street parking between the hours of 9:30 am and 7:00 pm. The
property in question has a short driveway, so it is logical to assume renters will use the
street during and after the designated parking hours.
3. Vanderbilt Avenue is the gateway to the Croatan Road beach access. Day visitors,
surfers and residents, who live further away from the beach, use it extensively to reach
the shore. Traffic has become problematic as drivers jockey for spaces - blocking the
road while waiting for a space to open up or circling the block multiple times, making it
difficult at times to enter or leave my driveway.
4. Croatan Beach itself can not physically accommodate large gatherings by visitors, let
alone residents as it has experienced sufficient erosion to make it unusable at high tide
with little berm left for beachgoers. Approving this property will add to the stress, until
the city completes the restoration of both the dunes and the widening of the berm. That
action is tentatively scheduled for summer 2021.
5. Croatan is not an overlay district and must not become one by default. What is
occurring seems to indicate mission creep as more properties apply for CUPs to
enhance their appeal to potential buyers/investors, especially for the current listings.
6. We must remain a residential neighborhood and not one that is a commercial
interest. I live next to several rental properties and do not welcome the uncertainty and
anxiety that comes each time these properties are rented. Although one assumes the
owners will rent responsibly and screen their guests, that is no guarantee of a good
outcome. I do not believe it is my responsibility to provide overwatch if guests behave
badly nor is it my desire. Given the cities inadequate resources for inspection and
enforcement, any expansion of STRs in Croatan is ill advised and unwelcomed.
7. Let me provide an anecdote to illustrate my concern. The property next to mine was
a rental that predated the STR phenomenon and would have been considered under
existing regulations a "grandfathered" property. This property was rented to students
during a College Beach Weekend, and while it appeared the renters were adhering to
normal conventions governing decorum and behavior, as the evening wore on into night
time the usual oceanfront revelry relocated to this home as the after party commenced.
Apparently, an invitation to "party" made its rounds on social media. Many individuals
showed up, parked willy nilly on the street and crowded the driveway, and parked on the
grass. Music and "conversation" was loud and inevitably the police were called by a
neighbor(s). I did not call, nor did I confront the renters, simply because to do so could
have provoked an unwelcome response or damage to my property in retaliation. By
now, it was close to 5 am the next day and I got no sleep. After they left, to include the
original lessees, I approached the cleaner, who had arrived to address the aftermath - I
had them call the owner to whom I outlined the events of the previous evening to
include the intervention by police. Her response was, "Oh, the young man I rented the
home to was well mannered and well spoken, so I didn't think there would be a
problem." (That property was sold within the year to another investor who, at one point,
owned four properties in Croatan - and who also rented short and long term - of note
one renter, the owner alleged, caused 15,000 dollars in damage. That property has
changed hands again and no doubt the new owners intend to take advantage of the
STR "opportunity.")
8. In short, she made an assumption, a business decision, without regard to
consequences or the impact to the neighbors. The individuals who own and operate
STRs appear to place their priorities above those of folks who are permanent residents,
who have invested in their homes and who pay taxes without earning supplemental
income from renting. These same owners also expect us to "keep an eye" out and let
them know if anything suspicious or unusual is happening,to their investment, like a leak
from a broken pipe or a trash can left out for several days after trash day, both of which
I have experienced, as well as monitoring renters.
9. Let me conclude by saying there are already some 45 properties for rent in Croatan
according to research conducted by the STR Committee formed by the Croatan Civic
League's Board of Directors to study the impact STRs are having on the community.
Resident's have already registered their opposition to at least three properties that have
recently applied for CUPs. So the trend is not in favor of adding more STRs to a
neighborhood zoned medium density residential.

Dear Mr. Miller,
We are writing to register our opposition to the following STR CUP application:
Albert & Enit Lulushi Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) 528 Vanderbilt
Avenue Request for a 4-bedroom Short Term Rental. 2020-PCCC-00322
1. There are already a large number of rental properties on Vanderbilt Ave. Indeed, per the
Croatan Civic League, there are already approximately 45 STRs in Croatan. In this
supposedly residential neighborhood, which is not located in an overlay district, this has
resulted in an increase in people, traffic, noise and trash. Consequently, there has been a
significant diminution in the quality of life in the neighborhood in the 10+ years we have
resided here.
2. The question we have is does Virginia Beach wish to maintain the residential nature of
Croatan and other non-overlay district neighborhoods? If so, then granting even more CUPs
for STRs would be contrary to that goal.
3. The granting of increasing number of CUPs for STRs in Croatan is de-facto turning Croatan
into an overlay district. This is contrary to the original intent of not placing Croatan in an
overlay district.
4. What is the compelling public need for yet even more STRs in a non-overlay residential
neighborhood, with the inevitable diminution in resident's quality of life, when there are
already plenty of hotel rooms and STRs in Virginia Beach?
5. It seems that little is required to obtain a CUP for a STR in a non-overlay district beyond
being a homeowner who wishes to offer a STR. Out of the CUPs for STRs that have been
applied for in Croatan, how many, if any, have actually been turned down? If Virginia Beach
wishes to maintain the residential nature of Croatan and other neighborhoods which are
not located in overlay districts, then granting of CUPs for STRs should not be routine or
automatic. And if someone has a burning desire to offer an STR, they already have the
option of buying a property in an already declared overlay district!
6. Whenever there has been a problem with a nearby rental, the property owner(s) have not
been particularly interested or receptive to complaints. The best (or worst if you will)
example of problems with STRs is what occurred 2 houses down from us on College Beach
Weekend, when due to social media there was a gathering of many people in the rental
house and yard, we estimate at least 50 or so outside in front,with cars parked illegally all
over the street, with loud noise, music, trash, etc. until the wee hours of the morning.The
police were called by a neighbor who just couldn't take it any longer.
7. This brings up the question as to what rules, regulations, and codes regarding STRs are in
place to protect residential homeowners in Croatan and other non-overlay neighborhoods
from the inevitable problems that STRs bring? If such rules are in place, what are the
enforcement mechanisms?Are the problems tracked and addressed? How?Strict
enforcement with major fines and withdrawal of the CUP for major nuisances such as
enumerated in #6? Or at most a minor slap on the wrist? Is there any enforcement at all?
What mechanism other than trying to reach the property owner, or calling the police, is
there in place for resident complaints, if any? Is such a mechanism available 24/7? If not, it
needs to be. Whatever the current process is, it is not working, to the detriment of current
full-time residents. And expecting these problems to be handled "neighbor to neighbor" is
unrealistic in today's Virginia Beach. Every effort needs to be taken to ensure the rights of
full-time residents in non-overlay neighborhoods to peace, quiet and tranquility, all lacking
under the current system.
8. We believe there needs to be a complete moratorium on the granting of additional CUPs for
STRs in Croatan and other non-overlay neighborhoods until the problems with the current
system are completely identified and addressed.Then there needs to be a trial period of at
least 1 year where the revamped system is tested on existing STRs in Croatan and other
non-overlay neighborhoods to see how well the system works, and to further modify if
necessary.The whole process of granting additional CUPs for STRs in non-overlay
neighborhoods such as Croatan needs to be thoughtfully and completely examined to
determine if this process needs to be significantly modified or even completely
discontinued. Enough is enough!
9. To conclude,Virginia Beach needs to decide if it is willing to maintain and even improve the
quality of life in non-overlay residential neighborhoods such as Croatan. If the current path
continues,then it is clear that Virginia Beach cares less about its' permanent residents than
those with commercial interests, whose main desire is supplemental income from their
properties, with little concern for the quality of life of their neighbors.
Thank you for the opportunity to express our concerns.

Roger and Suzanne Perry

Subject: 528 Vanderbilt Ave. Application for STR
I will be unable to attend February PC meeting.Jan Perriello will
speak on behalf of our committee in opposition to this
application. Obviously I am opposed for the reasons below. As
always thank you for your consideration.
Within 1,320 yards of 528 Vanderbilt Ave. are at least 46 existing
STR that can be verified, possibly more as yet to be determined.
This particular property sits on a small 50x 100 lot with private
residents on both sides. It has a drive way for 4 vehicles.
Overnight street parking is prohibited .
The consecration of STR has proliferated in recent years
particularly on Vanderbilt Ave.
It's no secret that the overwhelming majority of Croatan
residents oppose STR .Two separate Nextdoor polls yield
numerous complaints by residents who have experienced
firsthand the myriad of problems associated with having an STR
in close proximity to their year round residence.
Another STR would simply tax this small community more.

Subject:Short-Term Rental -528 Vanderbilt Ave, et al
Mr. Mayor and Members of the Planning Commission and City
Council,
I am writing today to record my opposition to a proposed short-
term rental (STR) case to be heard by the Planning Commission on
February 10, 2021 and by the City Council some time thereafter.
The case in question is located at 528 Vanderbilt Avenue, which is
within the Croatan Beach neighborhood of the Beach District.
Croatan is a residentially-zoned community with narrow streets,
most without sidewalks, and a public beach with a 550-space daily-
fee parking lot that is locked up in the evening. This feature leads
to excessive, often disruptive, traffic on the our single access
road. Croatan is not part of the Resort District and (thankfully, and
wisely) has been excluded from the proposed Resort Beach STR
Overlay District.
Regrettably, Croatan has a significant population of STRs - many of
which do not appear on the City records we accessed through
FOIA. Because of these omissions, Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation review, analysis, and recommendations of STR
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) applications upon which you rely to
make decisions is incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading. Case in
point is the street parking data provided in your review package for
528 Vanderbilt (second page of Agenda Item #16). The attached
sign depicts the accurate data for parking on Vanderbilt Avenue.
The five-hour difference is significant given the hours involved,
number of beach visitors during those periods, and on-site hosting
of guests during the "prime-time" dinner hour.
Croatan residents paid a premium to own in this desirable
neighborhood and should not be subjected to commercialization of
the neighborhood. STRs disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of our
properties beyond the "loud party" hyperbole you so often hear. We
are prevented from relaxing on weekends by early morning pack-up
of vacating renters, garbage pick-up, cleaners, yard care, and late
evening unpacking of incoming renters every Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday (depending upon the individual rental terms). These service
vehicles further often block our narrow roads and restrict traffic.
Many STRs have been squeezed together onto small lots, so that
mere outdoor conversation into the evening can be disruptive.
Residents respect their neighbors' quiet space, but renters do not.
Accordingly, I urge you to vote against extending STR CUP status to
528 Vanderbilt Avenue and any other Croatan-situated STR CUPs
that cross your desks.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
M. Conrad "Connie" Agresti

To the Virginia Beach Planning Commission:
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide my comments, both on the application of Albert &
Enit Lulushi for a Conditional Use Permit(CUP), and on the proliferation of Short Term Rentals (STRs)
in Virginia Beach.
My wife and I have lived at 500 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan Beach, since 2017, and have already
resided in close proximity to at least 5 known STRs. Two are on Vanderbilt and three are on South
Atlantic Avenue, all within 300 feet!
In 2019, rules meant to regulate and better manage rentals were approved by the VB City Council. A new
City Council proposal would limit short-term rentals to the communities of Sandbridge, and the
Oceanfront, parts of the North End and neighborhoods on both sides of the Lynnhaven Inlet along
Shore Drive,designated as overlays. Current rules require that, any property owners looking to operate a
short-term rental outside of Sandbridge,get approval through a CUP.
Vanderbilt Avenue can barely accommodate two-way traffic in the off-season. During the summer, when
all parking spots on the street are filled during the posted parking hours of 9:30am to 7pm, only one car
travel is possible. The proposed ordinance requires one parking space per bedroom. The Lulushi
driveway @528 Vanderbilt appears inadequate to fulfill that requirement. The proposed ordinance also
allows STRs to host events with up to fifty (50) people present. It's extremely doubtful that there will be
enough on street parking required to accommodate the overflow of vehicles.
The new proposal additionally would remove the requirement to obtain a CUP for a person to have a
short-term rental, as long as they live within the set-boundaries of those five overlay areas and abide by
the regulations. It was stated that these communities were chosen because they have historically hosted
vacationers, and short-term rentals would likely not greatly change the neighborhood dynamic.
My concern is that, based on whatever economic outcome of this proposal occurs,there are no restrictions
on what other areas of the city could be designated as the new overlays. Who gets to decide what should
be an STR overlay area? Just because investors buy isolated properties in what are considered desirable
vacation neighborhoods, do they have the right to transform those neighborhoods into semi-commercial
districts? When do the concerns of the year-round taxpayers of those neighborhoods get considered?
Croatan is not an overlay district and must not become one by default. With each new property that is
granted a CUP, the character of the neighborhood is degraded. We live in a truly "neighbor—friendly"
community. There are multiple vacation homes in Croatan, and many part-time, absentee homeowners
see them as opportunities for making money. The question is whether the rights of Croatan's year-round
residents should be trumped by those people. Year round residents support this neighborhood and its
residents with community events, neighborhood watches, book clubs, beach replenishment efforts, and so
much more. I have spoken to many fellow Croatan residents who have huge concerns about the STR
epidemic. The responses have been universally negative. They DO NOT want this family neighborhood
turned into a commercial rental district,ala Sandbridge.
The proposed ordinance states that"Short term rentals shall be subject to the following conditions unless
specifically modified by action of the city council in granting a conditional use permit or creating a short
term rental overlay district." We have serious questions about exactly how the city of Virginia Beach
will be able to monitor and enforce all STR conditions/regulations. We don't know if property managers
and absentee owners will screen their guests, maintain their properties and ensure community concerns
will be respected and considered.
1
Condition 241.2.3 is particularly weak, yet is probably the cause of the most complaints from year-round
homeowners residing near STRs:
"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."
Does this mean that "nothing" will be done to address STR violations and
infringement of neighbor's rights?
How will condition 241.2.10 be monitored and enforced:
"There shall be no outdoor amplified sound after 10:00 p.m. or before 10:00 a.m.";
The VB City Council, the VB Planning Commission, vacation property managers and absentee owners
have all stated that STRs will minimal impact on our lives. They claim that adding more STRs to the
known existing 2,700 in the city of VB, will not negatively impact our community, services and
infrastructure. Our experiences have proven that those assurances are wishful thinking.
Short-Term Rentals (STRs) can ruin neighborhoods
Fact: Short-term rentals tend to be less safe than long-term rentals
o Unlike typical tenants, visitors for short-term stays are not thoroughly vetted. Most landlords
require extensive background checks for long-term tenants, including credit and employment
history, references from previous landlords, and so on.
Fact: There is no way to guarantee there will be a good STR tenant
o Homeowners take all of the risk on themselves for every rental experience to be a good one.
o Homeowners can't predict how a tenant will treat his/her neighbors. When a tenant disturbs
the daily life of neighbors in the area, there's a problem on your hands that can reach a boiling
point if you don't do anything to intervene.
o Landlords have little control over who they can rent to. Although some home-sharing
platforms have developed a review system, that allows homeowners to share their experience
with renters, it is not universal. The system remains largely incomplete and potentially biased,
compared to traditional background checks.
o Though property owners may occupy their rentals, and truly participate in the spirit of"home
sharing," a disproportionate number of rentals belong to absentee owners. Many of these
property owners act as quasi-commercial entities, avoiding the same financial requirements
and costs that true commercial enterprises do.
o Lack of enforcement allows these quasi-commercial ventures to wear down the economic and
social fabric of residential neighborhoods in a variety of ways. Here are the realities that the
optimistic propaganda of the "sharing economy" leaves out:
• Current STR operators are required to pay city and state taxes just like hotels, motels
and bed and breakfasts. As of April 2020, the city estimated 2,700 properties in the
city are already operating as short-term rentals. However not all may be operating
"legally."
2
How much S is this costing the city?
• Short-term rental (STR) operators have figured out how to profit from evading
city laws and converting long-term living spaces into short-term rentals. That means
fewer homes on the market for long-term renters,new stable tax-paying
homeowners, and more landlords planning to operate a STR,where they can expect
a higher rent from tenants. Goodbye affordable workforce housing.
• As long-term residents get priced out of your neighborhood,who remains? Only
those who already own a home there and don't rent it out short term. There will be
less new families, and younger couples searching to own their own home, and
basically anyone who can't afford to compete with vacationers' budgets. Goodbye
neighborhood friendships,closeness and diversity.
o The influx of out-of-town visitors upsets the peaceful enjoyment of long-standing residential
neighborhoods.
• Short-term renters have no stake in the community, and therefore no reason to care
how the neighborhood around them suffers from their vacation activities.
• Zoning code laws keep hotels out of residential neighborhoods, and exist to
accommodate the inevitable disruptions of tourism. Illegal short-term rentals ignore
zoning restrictions and make virtually any residence into a hotel/party house.
o If you have too many rental properties in a neighborhood of single-family homes, it can cause
property prices to stagnate or even drop. It's a fact that tenants won't always maintain
homes to the level that owners who actually live in the property do. When homes get rundown,
the entire neighborhood suffers.
Thank you for your consideration in these matters.
Respectfully,
Patrick and Denise Costigan

Dear Mr.Alcaraz:
The Planning Commission will hear the CUP application for 528 Vanderbilt Avenue on
December 10th, 2021. I write to comment on this application and state that Croatan adjacent
neighbors and the STR Committee will oppose this application.
The owners of this property, according to the application, live in Northern Virginia and
already have a 2nd home at 400 Vanderbilt Avenue which they occupy periodically. It has
also been stated by neighbors that the house at 400 Vanderbilt has been used as an STR,but
with no CUP in place. The house at 528 Vanderbilt appears to have been purchased for the
sole purpose of an investment property to rent. It has already been rented on one(1)occasion
prior to the application for a CUP, for at least a few weeks and the neighbors believe it was
possibly for less than 30 days.
1. The house sits on a 50x 100 lot and is 2718 sf, with 4 bedrooms. It has a very short
driveway and will tightly accommodate only 4 vehicles,the minimum required with no extra
space for guests. The driveway is located on the left side of the property which brings it very
close to an adjacent neighbor.
There is no parking on Vanderbilt Avenue except for a few areas which can only be occupied
from 9:30a to 7p and are typically occupied by surfers. Some of these spaces are near this
house and there is sure to be illegal parking on Vanderbilt during season by guests at 528
Vanderbilt overstaying the 7p deadline.
2. Vanderbilt Avenue already has 16 STR's, 10 of them identified as operating without a
permit. As a result of this application,two (2)more are applying near 528. In season,this
street has become a nightmare for resident owners;there is a great deal of traffic going to the
City parking lot at the extreme end of Vanderbilt, often sitting bumper to bumper waiting to
get into the lot. Adding more traffic and parking issues by tenants of STR's is simply going to
add to the severe congestion and traffic.
Our resident owners, at times,have difficulty with ingress/egress to their driveways and for
our neighborhood children living on Vanderbilt,this heavy traffic and congestion presents a
very dangerous situation. It is blatantly unfair that the resident owners should have to live
under these conditions just to accommodate investors and corporate realtors.
We ask that this application be denied.

Dear Mr. Miller,
I am writing to support the application of Albert and Enit Lulushi for a STR CUP at 528
Vanderbilt Ave. My family and I live on Vanderbilt and fully support the rights of
homeowners to use their homes as short term rentals as long as they are compliant with all
city rules and ordinances that pertain.
A lot of vocal Croatan residents have gotten on a bandwagon lately proclaiming, essentially,
that Croatan Beach belongs solely to us residents and everyone else is a nuisance that needs
to stay away. Please don't indulge their selfish insularity. Many of us here in Croatan
welcome visitors and enjoy the life and joy they bring to the neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Jessica Tomberlin
620 Vanderbilt Ave
To whom it may concern,
I understand that Enit Lulushi wishes to obtain a CUP for 528 Vanderbilt Ave in Croatan and that the
usual anti-STR contingent is gathering forces to oppose it. Although I do not personally know the owner,
I believe that no one should tell you what you can or cannot do within the walls of your own home as
long as you aren't infringing on your neighbors.
Croatan has been a mixed neighborhood of primary homes,second homes and vacation rentals since
inception. Many homes in Croatan were not built as primary residences due to the size of their closets.
What are those owners suppose to do now? I have heard people strategizing how they are going to
make new rules so cumbersome that no grandfathered STR can remain in operation. STRs in beachfront
neighborhoods is a part of American tradition and EVERYONE who purchased a home here knows that
there are vacation homes all around us. These are NOT hotels. Hotels are buildings where unrelated
persons board individual rooms on a per night basis. STRs maintain the single family usage of a home
for a shorter stay than a long term rental but that does not make it a hotel. A single family home is not a
large building that you need a map to locate the nearest exit. Some want renters to verify they are not
sexual predators. Do you do that for all the visitors using the parking lot at the end of my street? They
want STRs to pay$500 fine for leaving the trash out past pickup day. I'm perfectly fine with that as long
as the fines apply to EVERY HOMEOWNER equally. There are some primary homeowners who leave
their trash out all the time. I never do. However, If one day I go out of town and make arrangements for
my neighbors to bring my trash in, I don't want to be singled out for a fine if they forget while others
gets a free pass because they didn't rent their home for a couple weeks over the summer. I believe that
problems arise when homes are rented for events disturbing the peace. Although I know from personal
experience that people sometimes have grown children who let parties get out of hand, it doesn't occur
on a perpetual basis when it's your personal residence. In short, I fully support regulations that
maintain the quality of life for our residents without destroying our property values and economy which
is what would happen if you ban STRs altogether in Croatan. By permitting STRs by right in all the other
oceanfront neighborhoods except Croatan you are altering the historical character of our neighborhood.
I rented my home for a couple of summers before it became my primary residence which is common in
Croatan. VRBO shows where guests looked before choosing your property. These families looked at
several other cities before choosing Va Beach. Congratulations to the city for putting in money to clean
up the boardwalk, add attractions and various things to bring in visitors. But why spend all this money if
you plan on removing homes from inventory? These families will not stay in a hotel if there aren't
homes available to rent. They will simply take their tourist dollars elsewhere. These are families that
are spending thousands of dollars for accommodations and bringing thousands more into the local
economy which has a trickle down effect on neighboring business. I now know what it must have felt
like to live in New York City and watch your neighbors block Amazon because they thought it would hurt
their quality of life.
Added to the lost revenue for the local economy, Croatan property values will decline hurting city
revenues further and all Croatan homeowners' nest eggs since homes are often our biggest investment
in life. When I looked at properties in Florida before I purchased here, I could tell just from the price
which communities allowed SIRS and which did not. The communities that allowed STRs sold for about
40%more than those that prohibited them. We have a shorter vacation season so hopefully it won't be
as dramatic a drop, but it will drop to what the LTR market can support. It's a simple fact that mortgage
payments align with rental income because why would anyone purchase a house for more than they can
rent? STR income is greater than LTR income so anyone who purchased a home in Croatan had to
compete with that higher price point. You can debate that the communities that ban STRs have a better
quality of life for its residents. It is easy if you never had STRs to begin with to ban them because
homeowners won't suffer financially by changing the rules. Your CUP process is altering precedent in
Croatan and in the process, hurting our property values. I sympathize with those that have lived next to
a "nightmare STR" and that is what commonsense regulations can address. I fully support the
regulations you passed in 2019 but you haven't even given them a chance to work or the teeth to
enforce them. Don't blanket ban every CUP because we have a well organized group that is spreading
lies that prohibiting STRs will magically defy economics and improve our property values.
A good analogy would be that you can argue our quality of life would be improved by prohibiting dogs. I
wouldn't have to listen to my neighbors' dog bark all the time because they leave them in their yard
hours on end. Most STRs prohibit pets by the way. Or deal with all the dog poo while walking my dog
because some bad owners refuse to pick up after their pets. I am a conscientious neighbor so I don't do
these things but because I have a dog, I will fight tooth and nail for the rest of us to keep that right while
supporting rules that improve the quality of life for non dog owners. I suppose if I never had a dog, I
might feel differently. Now imagine if the people opposed to dogs didn't like the position of a civic
league that supported dogs with regulations so they hijacked the civic league (easy to do because of low
participation rates) and falsely told other non dog owners that their property values would increase if no
one had to deal with the negative issues related to dogs. Imagine if they created online polls and called
their friends that opposed dogs to vote in their poll while dog owners were never informed of the poll.
They encouraged their friends to all write letters to the city leaders who would be bombarded by only
one side. You would think, "my god, dogs are horrible now that I've heard all these stories of them
killing children." Imagine if they then contacted every"I Don't Care" vote in their social media poll to
convince them to change their minds while the dog owners are silenced without an opportunity to plead
their side? How would you feel? Condos change their rules to ban dogs all the time through their
HOAs. I purposely chose a neighborhood without an HOA so my rights as a homeowner would not be
violated. I don't think that this process has been fair to our beach front community at all. I know there
are North End residents who are asking you to not put their neighborhood in an overlay district but yet
you single Croatan out? We have just as much a tradition of STRs on our beach lots as they do but you
choose to destroy only our property values instead of treating us equally. It simply isn't right that a
small group of snobs who don't want strangers in our neighborhood went out of their way to create a
movement based on a false narrative in which the city is openly helping to perpetuate at the expense of
us all. They plan on going after the public parking lot next by the way. I don't love the public lot at the
end of our street but people have a right to access a public beach.

Ron lives around the corner from me and Jan around the other corner. They believe in
exclusivity. Ron is in charge of the whole push to eliminate STRs. He enlists his daughter,
Allison,to go to CUP meetings and pretend she is just another concerned neighbor. I was told
he has over ten million in the bank so he doesn't care if our property values drop. He wants
them gone. He also wants to get rid of the parking lot so that is next on his hit list. I don't
love the public lot but everyone in Virginia Beach has a right to use our public beaches. There
are just some people that don't want strangers in the neighborhood but guests in STRs spend
thousands per week to visit as opposed to people who park in the lot. That is his opinion but it
is really unfair when his snobbishness destroys other people's livelihoods. Attached is the

/ We firmly believe in the right to buy a property in a beach neighborhood to use it as a vacation
home for yourself and then when one is not present that homeowner should be allowed to do as
E they please and rent the property out for as much or little as they like. For that reason, we support
Albert and Enit Lulushi's application for a CUP at 528 Vanderbilt Ave.
We also would like you to know we became Croatan residents in March. Simply because we try to
limit our time on social media Christopher Sprauer and myself are not very active on the next door
app. As a result of this we did not even know about any polls taken against short term rentals. We
are just one of I'm sure many residents in this neighborhood that were 100% excluded from these
polls. Therefore, these polls we believe to be invalid. If a neighborhood wants a true poll they
should have gone door to door or sent mail. I

Dear Mr. Alcaraz/Mr Miller, -
My name is Chris Harrell and I am writing on behalf of Enit and Albert Lulushi who are
applying for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to do short-term rentals with their property
at 528 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan.
We bought our second home in Croatan in 2010 and while we mostly use the home
ourselves, we rent it out in the summers to help pay for improvements to the property.
We have paid taxes on this income through Atkinson Realty and recently have done this
directly ourselves. The money we have made on this goes directly back into the Virginia
Beach economy through contractors, restaurants, etc. We have managed our property
responsibly, as plenty of others have been doing in Croatan for decades. We support
well-managed STRs that are compliant with city rules and ordinances, and we think Enit
and Albert would take a similar responsible approach to their property and would not
cause problems for the neighborhood. Therefore, we are writing to support
the application of Albert and Enit Lulushi for a STR CUP at 528 Vanderbilt Ave.
Thank You,
Chris and Cathy Harrell

Dear Mr.Alcaraz and Mr. Miller,
I am writing this letter in support of Mr.Albert and Mrs. Enit Lulushi's application for a conditional use
of permit of their residence at 528 Vanderbilt Avenue.
I am a retired military. During the fall of 2020, I have the opportunity to rent Mr.and Mrs. Lulushi's
residence for over one month period through Airbnb. I have met and spoke with many wonderful
owners throughout the neighborhood. They were very warm and friendly and welcoming me to their
neighborhood,and they also expressed their concerns for the right of peaceful enjoyment and safety for
everyone in their community. I am completely confident that Mr.Albert and Mrs. Enit Lulushi will
comply with all of the Virginia Beach City rules and ordinances,and therefore I support this application.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email me at(757)701-5377 or
awilairat@hotmail.com.
Sincerely,
Ann Scott

An update and a request from Albert and Enit at 528 Vanderbilt
Enit L<enitkaduku@gmail.com> Sun,Jan 3,11:11 AM

Dear Richard,
Happy New Year!
We hope this message finds you well,
We are very excited to have purchased 528 Vanderbilt which is a perfect second home for us.Eventually we will also retire there,we hope.For the time being however we would love to have the
flexibility to be able to be there as much as possible during the whole year and in all seasons.We do love Virginia Beach in summer but equally so in other seasons.For this reason,we ideally
would like to rent it for a few weeks during the year for those periods of time during which we won't be able to enjoy it with our friends and family.
While we have the option to rent it long term,we would much rather prefer renting it short term. Renting it long term(31 days or more)would mean we would have to give control of the house for
extended periods of time,making it harder to have control over problems that might arise without us being aware of and at the same time it would also deprive us of enjoying our home
for extended periods of time.
Therefore we would like to let you know that we intend to file a Short Term Rental Conditional Use Permit(CUP)application with the city.
We would like to assure you that,to us, your right of quiet and peaceful enjoyment of your property is as important as the well-being of our home,and we commit to do everything we can to that
end.
Here is a first plan of action that we wanted to share with you:
1. Atkinson realty will be managing our property.We have a great relationship with them and we are confident we have a common understanding of how to select and address any
potential guests wishing to stay at our home.
2. We will not allow stays shorter than a week,even though the city ordinance does actually allow two stays per week-we do not believe Croatan is suitable for that sort of guest turnover,
and by forcing the one week minimum we believe we reach safer,more family-focused guests.
3. We will not allow direct bookings even if we decide to list the house on an online rental platform such as VRBO.
4. Whether through Atkinson or directly through us,any potential guests will be screened in advance.We will not allow unrelated parties,weddings,student beach week rentals etc,just
family groups.Our preferred guests will be families with kids and possibly grandparents in tow.
5. Guests will have to share an official ID before being allowed access and a fixed residence address will be verified in advance as well.
6. We will make sure our guests understand the current ordinances on occupancy,noise,parking,beach rules whether during the summer season or outside it and we will demand
compliance with these ordinances in a lease contract.
7. While we understand currently the city ordinance allows 3 people per bedroom,which would mean a maximum occupancy for our house of 12;we intend to allow a maximum of 8
family-related adults with a maximum occupancy of 10.
We would like to invite you to support our application with the Zoning Department-they would like to see letters of support from the immediately adjacent neighbors.It would really help our
application and we would be beyond grateful if you could write such a letter via email to Albert and me at enitkaduku@gmail.com.
We have provided a sample letter of support below as a reference but any format is fine really,as long as it includes your name,email and property address.
To:Virginia Beach Zoning

We have been made aware of and support Albert and Enit Lulushi's pending application for an STR CUP at his second home at 528 Vanderbilt Ave,

Dear Mr. Miller,
I was wondering if this email and attachment could be part of the package you mentioned. I
am trying to document the efforts of outreach and to address anyone's potential concerns
related to our short term rental application.
Even though the application process did not require it, even prior to filing the application,we
had verbally already shared our intentions with our immediate neighbors whom we got to
know since we bought the house.
In addition, on January 3 we did contact via email all our adjacent neighbors for whom we
could find the contact information .
We really wanted our neighbors to see our genuine concern and sincere commitment to
ensuring their right of peaceful enjoyment of their homes. In the email we sent and that we
have attached here for your reference, we shared our philosophy and rules we will follow to
that effect.
Here is the list of physical addresses we sent emails to (I am not listing names out of any
privacy concerns) :
1. 524 Vanderbilt
2. 532 Vanderbilt
3. 519 Vanderbilt
4. 525 Vanderbilt
5. 545 Vanderbilt
6. 629 S Atlantic
7. 625 S Atlantic
8. 604 Fort Raleigh Dr(in his capacity as the Croatan Civic League President)
We tried to locate contacts for 517 Vanderbilt and 631 S Atlantic,both of which as far as we
could tell, have been 100%unoccupied during all this time but we were not successful.
Out of all these contacts, we received one letter of support(519 Vanderbilt)and only one other
acknowledgement of our email(by 545 Vanderbilt); repeated emails and phone
texts/voicemails to the rest of the immediate neighbors whom we have actually met
personally, were met with dead silence. I was able to have a phone conversation with the
owner of 629 S Atlantic who on the phone sounded supportive of our application, and said
would send a letter to support our application.
I am attaching one of the letters,but I am happy to provide all of them if needed.

Thank you and here is my statement:
Hi, My name is Kendall Cavedo Maynard, my family and I have maintained a
STR in the North End for 35 years.
I am fully supportive of the STR at 528 Vanderbilt Ave. I believe that it is a
homeowners' right to have an STR "by right". The opposition would have you
believe that there are tons of issues, but the responsible STR operators who
serve guests and maintain these properties are extremely conscientious and
are abiding by all the requirements for contract per week and parking. This
looks like a beautiful home to have your next vacation in with your own family
with a great location close to the beach. The likely guests will be families that
do not cause any of the alleged issues that are being discussed. No more traffic
than normal with a family that owns the property, no more noise or litter.
Most STR operators charge a deposit so if there is anything needed, the deposit
will take care of any litter. Most families are very conscientious and well
behaved. There should be no concerns for this lovely, family oriented STR.
Please vote for this to be a STR — I completely support this STR.
Thank you. Best Regards, Kendall Maynard, 108 45th Street, Virginia Beach, VA

Commissioners,
The attached link will take you to a petition to prevent any further STRs from
being established in Croatan. I would ask that you weigh this against the desires
of a few investors who are lobbying for additional properties to be granted
CUPs.. Croatan wishes to remain a residential neighborhood, reflecting the
meaning of the word residential, and not become an extension of the
resort district.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CYNTHIA SHEPPARD [Applicant& Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 304 28th Street, Unit 201
(GPIN 24280028662001). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
53,385 square foot multi-family property zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form Based
Code. The lot consists of 42 condominium units, with the applicant's unit containing
two bedrooms (unit 201). 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.
As of March 8, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active STR
advertisements associated with the subject address/unit number; however, there
are multiple active STR listings for 304 28th Street without accompanying unit
numbers.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the resort area of the oceanfront; specifically, this
unit is within the Playa Rana Condominium development. The subject site lies
approximately 900 feet from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean. The applicant's
parking plan depicts two permanently assigned on-site parking spaces, which meet
the requirements of Section 241 .2(1) the City Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, all
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to
the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

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

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'

Term Rental Zoning registration form; and
b) Copies of the Commissioner of Revenue's Office receipt of registration; and

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• The site is approximately 53,385 square feet and is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort District.
• The property consists of a three-story, multi-family condominium building containing 42 units. Designated
parking spaces are provided on-site. City records indicate this building was constructed in 1985.
• Staff inspected the site on December 10, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• Parking along this segment of 28th Street is metered so this property is not eligible for the Residential Parking
Permit Program (RPPP)
• City Council previously approved a Conditional Use Permit for Sunray Court Associates, L.P. in April 1996 for
'Housing for the Elderly' on the subject site.This building now operates as a condominium known as Playa Rana;
therefore,the previous CUP for Housing for Elderly is no longer active.
• 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 Short Term Rental request is for one,two-bedroom unit within the Playa Rana Condominium complex.The 42-unit
condominium complex is located three blocks west of the public beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, an area of the City
where Short Term Rental use is common.There are two assigned on-site parking spaces that will be used to fulfill the
parking requirement. Furthermore, it is Staff's opinion that all other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this application
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.The applicant is
agreeable to these condition changes. No letters of opposition or support have been received.
Recommended Conditions
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 304 28th Street Unit 201, 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

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: RYAN SUMMERS [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 304 28th Street, Unit 113
(GPIN 24280028661012). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
53,385 square foot multi-family property zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form Based
Code. The lot consists of 42 condominium units, with the applicant's unit containing
two bedrooms (unit 113). 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.
As of March 8, 2021 , Host Compliance shows no current STR advertisements
associated with the subject address; however, it does list a last documented STR
stay of 185-365 days.
• Considerations:
The property is located within the resort area of the oceanfront; specifically, this
unit is within the Playa Rana Condominium development. The subject site lies
approximately 900 feet from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean. The applicant's
parking plan depicts two permanently assigned on-site parking spaces, which meet
the requirements of Section 241 .2(1) the City Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, all
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to
the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On February 10, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0, to
recommend approval of this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• The site is approximately 53,385 square feet and is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort District.
• The property consists of a three-story, multi-family condominium building containing 42 units. Designated
parking spaces are provided on-site. City records indicate this building was constructed in 1985.
• Staff inspected the site on December 1, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• Parking along this segment of 28th Street is metered so this property is not eligible for the Residential Parking
Permit Program (RPPP).
• City Council previously approved a Conditional Use Permit for Sunray Court Associates, L.P. in April of 1996 for
'Housing for the Elderly' on the subject site. This building now operates as a condominium known as Playa Rana;
therefore,the previous CUP for Housing for the Elderly is no longer active.
• 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 Short Term Rental request is for a one,two-bedroom unit within the Playa Rana Condominium complex. The 42-unit
condominium complex is located three blocks west of the public beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, an area of the City
where Short Term Rental use is common. There are two assigned on-site parking spaces that will be used to fulfill the
parking requirement. Furthermore, it is Staff's opinion that all other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this application.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below;
however,the recommended conditions reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of
rental contracts in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.The
applicant is agreeable to these condition changes. No letters of opposition or support have been received.
Recommended Conditions

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CORTNEY ROSE, TRUSTEE OF THE ROSE FAMILY TRUST [Applicant]
ROSE FAMILY TRUST [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit(Short Term
Rental) for the property located at 721 13th Street (GPIN 24179531390000).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
5,250 square foot parcel zoned R-5D Residential District. The lot consists of one
single-family home 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.
As of March 12, 2021 , Host Compliance shows no current STR advertisements
associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a neighborhood
comprised of a multitude of housing types and a few scattered commercial uses.
The subject property sits within a neighborhood block containing single-family
dwellings and duplex dwellings. In addition, the site lies approximately 3,200 feet,
or .6 miles, from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean and 2,200 feet, or .4 miles,
from the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
Because the home contains three bedrooms, three off-street parking spaces are
required; however, the existing driveway configuration can only accommodate two
spaces without impeding a city sidewalk. As a result, the applicant proposes to add
one additional parking space abutting the existing driveway. By doing so, all three
required off-street parking spaces would be accounted for and none would obstruct
the city sidewalk. Recommended condition #3 was added to address this matter.
As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the applicant's parking configuration and deemed it to be
Cortney Rose, Trustee of the Rose Family Trust
Page 2 of 4
acceptable. Together with the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals, 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. Additional details pertaining to the
application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report
There is no known opposition to this request.
■ Recommendation:
On March 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 8 - 0
1 . The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 721
13th 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. Additional driveway surface shall be added as illustrated in the parking plan

concrete, or a substitute material approved by the Zoning Administrator. The
driveway addition shall be placed within 90-days of City Council approval. In
addition, a building permit issued by the Permits and Inspections Division of the
Planning Department shall be obtained prior to the installation of the driveway
addition (if applicable).
4. While this Conditional Use Permit is active, parking passes issued for the
subject dwelling unit(s) through the Residential Parking Permit Program
(RPPP) shall be limited to two resident passes only. Guest and temporary
passes through the RPPP shall not be permitted.
5. 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.
6. 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).

responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner

to the site of the Short Term Rental is not required.
8. 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'

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 5,250 square foot lot is located within the R-5D Residential District and contains one single-family dwelling.
• According to City records, this home was constructed in 1984 and contains three bedrooms.
• Because three off-street parking spaces are required by Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance, and there is
not enough space within the existing driveway to accommodate all three required spaces without blocking the
city sidewalk, the applicant is proposing to add a third on-site parking space to the west of the existing driveway,
as shown in the Site Layout and Parking Plan section of this staff report. In addition, the applicant indicated their
preference for the use of concrete as the surface material for the expansion; however,the Zoning Administrator
has historically preferred the use of a more permeable surface material. Nevertheless,the Zoning Administrator
approved the applicant's plan, but left open the possibility of working with the applicant to find a more
permeable material. Along those same lines, the western side of the driveway contains a larger area to
accommodate the third space when compared to the eastern side of the existing driveway, and the eastern side
contains a 5-foot drainage easement. Placing the expansion on the east side of the driveway,without also
expanding both the north and west sides, appears to produce an overlap of parking areas or cause one parking
area to impede the city sidewalk. Ultimately, less additional parking surface would be needed by placing the
addition on the west side of the existing driveway versus the east and would prevent parking improvements in
the 5-foot drainage easement.
• Staff inspected the site on January 19, 2021 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• The property lies within the RPPP boundary, where parking during the evening and overnight hours is limited.
Based on this, a condition is recommended that would prohibit the occupants of the STR from parking in the
street during the restricted hours.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject
address.
• Known Short Term Rental activity/As of 03-01-2021:
CURRENTLY ADVERTISED LAST KNOWN RENTAL REGISTERED WITH THE
COMMISSIONER OF THE REVENUE
No N/A No
• 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 property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a neighborhood composed of a multitude of housing
types with a few scattered commercial uses. The subject property sits within a neighborhood block comprised of single-
family dwellings and duplex dwellings. In addition,the site lies approximately 3,200 feet, or .6 miles, from the public
beach of the Atlantic Ocean and 2,200 feet, or.4 miles,from the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
Because the home contains three bedrooms,three off-street parking spaces are required; however, the existing
driveway configuration can only accommodate two spaces without impeding a city sidewalk. As a result, the applicant
proposes to add one additional parking space abutting the existing driveway. By doing so, all three required off-street
parking spaces would be accounted for and none would obstruct the city sidewalk. Recommended condition#3 was
added to address this matter.
As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the applicant's
parking configuration and deemed it to be acceptable. Together with the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals, 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;
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.

Item # 9
Cortney Rose, Trustee of the Rose Family Trust [Applicant] The Rose Family Trust
[Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
721 13t'' Street
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, we move on to item number nine.
Ms. Sandloop:Agenda item number nine, Courtney Rose, Trustee of the Rose Family Trust. It is
an application for a Conditional Use Permit Short-Term Rental on property located
at 721 13th Street located in the Beach District. The applicant, or the applicant's
representative is here.
Mr. Dao: The applicant is a virtual speaker. Mrs. Rose, if you can hold for three seconds
and you can begin your comment.
Mr. Rose: My name is Chris Rose, I am actually Courtney's husband. I apologize, my wife,
we have a newborn, and so she is preoccupied at the moment. My wife is from
Virginia Beach, so, she would definitely be better to do this. My in-laws live in the
area, as well as my sister and brother-in-law. I think the only thing that I would
say, I heard the conversation this morning. Our intent is actually to occupy the
house, but that got interrupted due to, kind of business changes related to COVID,
but that is still our intent. We were advised to kind of go through this process
because of the Ordinance that is coming, just to kind of give ourselves some
options as the vaccination gets distributed here, and we figure out if we can still
make the move. And, the only other thing I think is relevant based on the
conversation this morning, we have actually already contacted a contractor and
are kind of moving forward with pouring that slab for an additional work vehicle. I
did hear the conversation that was recommended to have pavers, we are fine with
that but just so that everybody's on the same page, our intent, we need that third
parking spot regardless of the Conditional Use Permit. And, we have already
begun moving forward with that. I think we can probably pull the plug and change
it to pavers that was recommended to us. But that is moving forward. That is all I
really have.
Mr. Weiner: Does anybody have any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Rose, just for clarification, I just want to make sure I heard you correctly, did
you say, so your intent is to live in the house?
Mr. Rose: Yeah, correct. The only reason we are really doing this is just to keep our options
open. We were fully intended when we bought it in May of last year to move out
1
there. My work was relocating me to open an office in the area, as well my wife,
and we are both reservists in the Marine Corps, we have lined up kind of our billets
at McTague, Fort Story, that kind of got thrown for a loop as you guys know, and
so that got hit on pause and they have a new board coming and so we are letting
that play out and letting the vaccination happen, but the intent and the indication
from my work is that everything is still in the plans, it is just a matter of getting some
certainty back here when the vaccination and everybody goes back to work.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Any more questions.
Ms. Oliver: I just want to follow up on one thing. Mr. Rose, so, I am just trying to figure out. I
get all the vaccine and the virus and stuff, so, is your intent to just, you are going
to stay in the house and therefore, the CUP, you were applying for it because you
thought you were going to move and now you are not and now you are going to
stay in the house? That is the way I am understanding that, and so you are not
going to rent it as a short-term rental is that, or you are just using it as just in case?
Mr. Rose: We do not occupy the house right now. Our intent was to move into it when we
purchased it, and those plans were foiled so this was something that, again, we
had to find tenants pretty quickly, which put us in a bit of a bind. So, this was
something again that was recommended to us, just given the uncertainty and
situation but our intent is to move into the house, and the only way we would
operate as a short-term rental would be if we were coming out to visit my family
during the summers, which is where we are right now. So, our intent is to move to
Virginia Beach with two young kids to be close to my wife's family. It has just been
interrupted by what's going on in the world.
Ms. Oliver: So, where do you live, where are you now.
Mr. Rose: Sure. We are in California, Camp Pendleton, we got off active duty and so we live
out here, but again we both work in the area, my wife is obviously on maternity
leave, but the business that I work for is a government contractor and we were
moving out. I jumped at an opportunity, to kind of, with us having the young kids a
two-year-old, get closer to family. And so, that is where we are at right now.
Ms. Oliver: So, Mr. Rose, I assume you currently own the house, correct.
Mr. Rose: Correct. We bought the house in May of last year with the intent to move out in
July. In late June, we found out that the office was not going to be opening and
was being postponed. And, that also our quarters for our reserve unit were
suspended, but we quickly scrambled to put tenants in the house. Again, my wife
is from the area with plenty of network over there that helps us out, my in-laws and
her sister and a lot of friends. And, then with a newborn coming, we still have
tenants in the house, but the intent is to move back out there this summer as long
as everything goes according to plan. But the uncertainty, and kind of the position
we were put in, last year when the timeline that is being put on this ordinance, we
2
were kind of recommended by a real estate agent who said, hey, you should do
this now to kind of keep your options open. Because again we ended up in a bind
and we want to make sure that it does not put us in a financial situation that we
cannot support.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, Mr. Rose. Hold on a second, Ms. Klein has a question for you.
Ms. Klein: If I may clarify that for the group. They are currently based in California. The intent
was to relocate to Virginia Beach last year when they purchased the home. The
plan to move Virginia Beach was put on hold because of COVID. They still reside
in California, they still intend to move to Virginia Beach, but in case things remain
in flux, they would like the flexibility to use the home as a short-term rental until
they are able to officially relocate. That is what I am hearing.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions. Mr. Rose, I have a question for you. Do you recently or do
you actually have a management team or a property manager right now?
Mr. Rose: We do, we have a local property manager. And as I mentioned, my father-in-law
is retired Marine Corps, so, he pretty much runs it for us, but we do have a team
there, as well a handyman, and a cleaning crew because we already had to turn it
over one-time for renters.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, thank you sir. Any other questions for Mr. Rose? Thank you, sir. Alright,
there are no more speakers.
Mr. Dao: No speakers on this item.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, so, we will close this and start discussion.
Ms. Klein: Can we check with Will to see if it is been posted and used as a short-term rental.
Mr. Tajan: We actually have that information, the property has not been posted or listed.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Tajan, we do know that he has not rented this as a short-term rental.
Mr. Tajan: That is correct, it is not listed on any of our platforms.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, it is not listed, I understand, but do we know that he has actually not used
this as a short-term rental,
Mr. Tajan: That is the information that we have available to us.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Alright, we are open for discussion. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Well, I was okay with it until you guys wanted to discuss it, so, we are going to talk
about this driveway. So, I would like to know more on consistency and what your
concerns are so I am on the same page, because I was looking forward to, again,
I had no opposition contact me either by email or phone. And, like I said, I always
try and help the neighbors, and I did not hear one word from anyone. I would like
3
to have, but I have no way to say that I cannot move forward with this until you
guys just brought up the driveway.
Mr. Weiner: I was, I like that word consistency. In my being consistent with our ordinance that
we are passing along voting on today, it actually says impervious surface, that
concrete is not consistent with what we are trying to pass along to City Council
today. That is why I brought that up.
Mr. Alcaraz: My concern with that is, this is not in the Overlay District and we haven't voted on
it and so that is why it is not consistent with what we are planning to do and so I
kind of went forward with approving it. Or recommending approval.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: So, it does just appear to be consistent with what we are, I think we have approved
some with additional driveways and is this the right thing? Are we forcing people
to tear up their yards? It is kind of a secondary impact, is that we are forcing them
to add a parking space and impact the character of the neighborhood by increasing
the imperviousness, just in their front yard. I think that is just what catches my
attention. We have two applications kind of like this, the other one's just kind of in
addition, I mean my own house, I had a driveway, the driveway got expanded, not
much different than this one. My front yard is a little bit wider, but I think it was
worth a discussion. It catches your attention when 50%of the frontage was parking
and now 75% of the frontage is now parking. So, it just grabs your attention, Mr.
Rose stated that they may expand their driveway no matter,they can do it by-right.
For me it just grabbed my attention right off the bat, then it could impact the
character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: I think the aesthetics of the driveway expansion is more important than whether it
is pervious or impervious frankly, and if it is already impervious, then to add a
gravel bed next to some concrete and that does not look good, neighbors are not
going to like that. I am more about being inconsistent with the appearance than it
is a single driveway pad that happens to be impervious instead of pervious. And
our requirements are, if he is going to have three bedrooms, you got to have three
parking spaces, but you could say well you could have two bedrooms and then
you do not need that parking space.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: I think he said that he would probably add that driveway anyway. It's a moot point.
I would go along with George and move that we just go ahead and vote on it and
approve it.
Mr. Weiner: We got a motion.
4
Mr. Coston: Yes.
Mr. Weiner: That is a motion. We have a motion by Mr. Coston for approval. Do we have a
second.
Mr. Alcaraz: I was recommending approval, but I wanted to be convinced about the driveway.
I am leaning that way but I just did not hear enough, I like what Mr. Inman said, but
I' like to hear more.
Mr. Weiner: In reality,what Mr. Inman indicated is to just put a bed of rocks,that is not a suitable
parking place for, it would have to be something it could be permeable asphalt,
permeable concrete, permeable asphalt. There are products out there that are
suitable. During our workshop we were going to get PJ Scully from the City to
come and talk to us about what is permissible and what is not, what is acceptable
and what is not. So, we probably still need to do that one day, but that is what I
am getting at, we are sending that message to the Council on our Ordinance, I
know we have not voted on it yet, but we are still sending that message to Council
in the Ordinance coming up, and that is why I just kind of wanted to stick with that,
Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: This is for the big men at the table, let's say, we approve the application. It says
that it has to be a permeable surface. And then they say we are moving to the
property, we do not want a permeable surface, we want concrete, does that then
void the permit because they are no longer in compliance, if they then were like,
oh, maybe I want to do rentals?
Mr. Inman: Okay, what the condition says, number three condition says "additional driveway
surface will be added as illustrated in the parking plan, proposed surface type
material will be brushed concrete or a substitute material approved by the Zoning
Administrator. The driveway additional be placed within 90 days of City Council
approval."
Ms. Klein: Right, but if they do that and then down the road, say, okay,we are ready to move
in,we want a different surface,which they are entitled to as owners of the property,
is their permit no longer valid.
Mr. Tajan: So, it is a condition of their Conditional Use Permit, if the Commission chooses to
impose a condition that says the surface shall not be impervious, in order for them
to be in compliance with a Conditional Use Permit, that parking space could not be
impervious; they would essentially be choosing between the STR or to live in the
residence.
Ms. Klein: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: One more thing.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
5
Mr. Alcaraz: Maybe I am confused here because when we were in the informal, I thought that
we were going to talk about the reasoning of coming forward to us, and then being
forced to add concrete or permeable or rock or whatever because you want a
Conditional Use Permit for STR. I thought that is what we were going to talk about,
the reasoning of, hey,we will give it to you but you got to have parking and I thought
that was the topic we were going to talk about, so, maybe I misunderstood. That
is why I agreed to hear it.
Mr. Weiner: I was under the impression we were going to talk about what type of surface they
have to have for that third space, or they can't have a Conditional Use Permit. So,
we have to have that third space. Yeah. So, I mean, if that is what everybody here
is okay with, concrete in the driveway, then so be it. So, we have a motion by Mr.
Coston, do we have a second. Second by Mr. Alcaraz. We are ready to vote
motion for approval.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: RICHARD & PATRICIA HALL REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST [Applicants &
Property Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the
property located at 947 Indian Circle (GPIN 24178357060000). COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
3,829 square-foot parcel zoned A-12 Apartment District. The lot consists of one
attached 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.
As of March 12, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current STR advertisements
associated with the subject address.
■ Considerations:
This property is located within the Indian Circle Townhomes subdivision, which
was platted in 1975 and contains 28 townhomes. Because the subject address
contains three bedrooms, three off-street parking spaces are required. To
accommodate this need, the applicant submitted a parking plan showing three
designated areas within the existing driveway. The first two proposed parking
areas are arranged in a typical pull-in/back-out fashion and meet all dimensional
requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance. The third parking area is positioned in
a parallel manner and is located directly behind the other two spaces; however,
this parking area does not meet the minimum length requirement for a parallel
parking space, which, as noted in Section 203(b)(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance,
is 22-feet. In this instance, the applicant's proposed parallel parking space is 9-
feet wide by approximately 17.6-feet long. The applicant was made aware of this
matter and attempted to reduce the bedroom count through the City Assessor's
Office, however, this request was unsuccessful. As a result, the city's recorded
bedroom count remains at three. Because of this, and since there appears to be
no commercial off-site parking space opportunities within '/ mile of the subject
Richard & Patricia Hall Revocable Living Trust

property, the applicant is moving forward with the request as-is and will be asking
the City Council to approve the parking plan with the noted parallel space
deficiency. If the applicant's request is not granted, he is willing to discontinue the
use of one of the bedrooms and is prepared to accept any condition imposed upon
the property by City Council, if they see fit to do so. Because of the parallel parking
space length deficiency, the Zoning Administrator found the proposed parking plan
to be unacceptable, as allowed by Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance.
Nevertheless, 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.
There is no known opposition to this request.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This property is located within the Indian Circle Townhomes subdivision, which was platted in 1975 and contains 28
townhomes.This neighborhood is bounded by Wintergreen Apartments to the North and Pinewood Cove Townhomes
to the south.
Because the subject address contains three bedrooms,three off-street parking spaces are required. To accommodate
this need,the applicant submitted a parking plan showing three designated areas within the existing driveway.The first
two proposed parking areas are arranged in a typical pull-in/back-out fashion and meet all dimensional requirements of
the City Zoning Ordinance.The third parking area is positioned in a parallel manner and is located directly behind the
other two spaces; however,this parking area does not meet the minimum dimensional requirements for a parallel
parking space.As noted in Section 203(b)(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance,the minimum size of a parallel parking space is
9-feet wide by 22-feet long. In this instance,the applicant's proposed parallel parking space is 9-feet wide by
approximately 17.6-feet long, which is less than the minimum 22-foot length.The applicant was made aware of this
matter and attempted to reduce the bedroom count through the City Assessor's Office, however,this request was
unsuccessful. As a result,the city's recorded bedroom count remains at three. Because of this, and since there appears
to be no commercial off-site parking space opportunities within '/% miles of the subject property,the applicant is moving
forward with the request as-is and will be asking the Planning Commission to approve the parking plan with the noted
parallel space deficiency. If the applicant's request is not granted, he is willing to discontinue the use of one of the

Because of the parallel parking space length deficiency,the Zoning Administrator found the proposed parking plan to be
unacceptable as allowed by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance. Nevertheless, 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 denial of this request. If the Planning Commission recommends
approval of this request,the following conditions are provided for consideration; however,the recommended
Richard and Patricia Hall Revocable Living Trust
Agenda Item 11

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 947 Indian Circle 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.

Richard & Patricia Hall Revocable Living Trust [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
947 Indian Circle
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL— HEARD
Ms. Sandloop:So noted, thank you. Next agenda item is, agenda item 11 Richard and Patricia
Hall Revocable Living Trust, an application for a Conditional Use Permit Short-
Term Rental on property located at 947 Indian Circle in the Beach District. Is the
applicant or the applicant's representative available?
Mr. Dao: We have two speakers on this item, the first speaker is the applicant Patricia Hall,
followed by Kathleen Lloyd. Ms. Hall, please pause for three seconds before
beginning your comment. Thank you.
Ms. Hall: Yes, hello, I am Pat Hall. My husband and I live in Melbourne Beach, Florida. A
year ago, June 2020, we decided to purchase a second home in Virginia Beach to
be close to our daughter and her family. We also felt that it would be an ideal
house to turn into a short-term rental to help offset some of the expenses, because
we are on a fixed income and both retired, this would be a great help to us. We
submitted an application for a short-term rental in December 2020. Although it
states that it is a three bedroom house, we are only planning on renting it as a two
bedroom house because we are using the third bedroom as storage, and will have
a lock on the door. So, there is adequate parking for the two bedrooms and we do
understand and agree that the ordinances offered two people per bedroom. We
also asked that a condition be added to our short-term rental Conditional Use
Permit requests that this allows that third bedroom to be used as a bedroom while
home is rented for STR purposes, therefore making it a two bedroom rental
allowing two people per bedroom. We feel that this is an ideal location for a short-
term rental. Our home is less than one-mile from the beach and is a short walk to
restaurants, convenience store, and the newly expanded Marshview Park a few
blocks away with biking,jogging pads, dog parks, and a potential playground. This
is perfect because we hope to rent mostly to families who choose to be away from
the activity of the beach and the boardwalk. Our daughter and son-in-law who live
only two blocks away will be managing and vetting potential renters, and will be
available 24/7. We also received written approval, which we have included with
our application, from both our neighbors on either side. Because our home is not
in the proposal overlay, please take into consideration that we applied during the
existing city ordinance,which is section 102 I understand. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Alcaraz: Are you currently renting it right now.
1
Ms. Hall: No, we own it and we use it-well - rest of the year, we only need to rent it during
the summer months.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions. Okay, thank you.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Katie Lloyd. Ms. Lloyd, you can please pause for three
seconds and begin your comments. Thank you.
Ms. Lloyd: Hi, I am Katie Lloyd and as my mom said, I am going to be managing the property,
my husband and I, we have a newborn child and we live about two blocks away,
so, we are available 24/7. Like she said, we will only be renting it in the summer
months for three months. Other than that, it will be used as a family home. So, my
mom and my stepdad can come and enjoy their time with their grandson and also
kind of help with childcare. The reason why they did buy this house last year was
because we had a new baby and they wanted to be closer to my child, but we also
knew when looking at this property that we had the option to do a short-term rental.
So,with that option,that really helped us decide that this would be a great second
home for them along with being able to rent it out where we can help manage it.
We have talked to both neighbors on either side, they have our personal phone
numbers,we have their personal phone number as well. They have approved that
and we told them that we were going to be renting it for those three months, they
said everything was fine, because they know that we are responsible and we told
them the type of people that we wanted and the type of people who we were kind
of advertising this short-term rental for was for families, knowing that the size of it
would be good, and as Pat mentioned, how close it is to the boardwalk but yet far
enough away from a lot of the activity if they wanted somewhere quiet for the
family. We will be hiring, and we do have people in mind for cleaning it, a local
cleaning lady, and she is excited about having a new house to clean. Because of
COVID, she has kind of lost some jobs there. Like I said, I will be available 24/7,
and we just feel that this will really help my parents be able to use this as a second
home, get close to family, and give us the opportunity to bring in a little bit more
income for them, or enough to offset some of the costs on being close to us. So, if
you have any questions about managing or anything, feel free to ask.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions. No questions. Okay. Any other speakers.
Mr. Dao: There are no more speakers on this item.
Mr. Weiner: All right, we will close this and open it up for discussion. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: I have not received any opposition. However, I am in agreement with the City
Staffs recommendation. They do not have adequate parking. She has offered to
reduce the parking requirements by locking a door,which I am not too comfortable
with. That is something that I do not know how the Planning Department could
2
enforce or know how. So, I will not be recommending approval, I want to go with
the City Planning Department unless you guys want to talk about anything else.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Anybody else. Jack.
Mr. Wall: One thing about the parking strategy is that I am not necessarily in favor or oppose
at this point, but it is not the ideal. I think that the parking space that they do have
it is not on someone else's property, even though it is outside of the whole entire
parking space. You are showing 17.6 feet, but the reality is that the whole thing is
in the right of way, but it is not in someone else's property. I just wanted to point
that out, that it is not like it is hanging over into the adjacent property owners
property.
Mr. Alcaraz: I think the concern with the Planning Department is that for parallel parking you
need 22-feet and they do not have it. That was what the concern was.
Mr. Weiner: That is correct.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Anyone else? Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Haven't we have had situations where there has been a three bedroom or four
bedroom residence and a person will say, well I will settle for only having three or
settle for two, but I got more bedrooms but I am not going to use them, haven't we
approved those before?
Mr. Weiner: We talked about that, I think before you got here, and we were told that actually
this went to the City Assessor's Office, if I am not mistaken, correct? And, the City
Assessor's Office said no this is considered a three bedroom home and has to be
advertised as a three bedroom home. Am I correct saying that?
Mr. Tajan: So, what we use, Mr. Chair and Mr. Inman, is that we utilize what we have on
record from the real estate assessor for how many bedrooms is in residence. So,
the property owner has the option to try to seek from the real estate assessor to
reassess to see if they can make it so that it is not a bedroom. They went that route
and after their discussions per Will's staff report, and Mr. Miller is online if you
would like to ask him any questions as well, but according to Mr. Miller's discussion
with the applicant, that based on how they are utilizing it, it was still considered
another bedroom. So, because of that, anytime that this has moved forward where
there was an opportunity to reduce the number of bedrooms to meet the parking
requirement, Staff has always required that it be documented somewhere, not just
in this approval but also changed elsewhere with how the property is assessed so
that everybody knows when they go to look at it, that it is only supposed to be this
many bedrooms.
3
Mr. Weiner: Okay, that makes sense. So, if they went back to the City Assessor's Office and
the Assessment Office said to them, we are only going to do two bedrooms here.
They could come back for the Conditional Use Permit or how does that work? I
am just asking the question.
Mr. Tajan: If they choose to change to where it is no longer considered a bedroom,they could
alter their application. Technically, it would be a different application so it would not
be limited to the one-year period, is that correct, it would be a different application
so they could potentially reapply. Typically, if the applicant has already spoken to
the Assessor's Office, how they plan on utilize the room is still considered a
bedroom for the, for the assessor for their city's records.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Anybody else. Motion?
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, I make a motion that we deny the request.
Mr. Weiner: I have a motion. Do we have a second?
Ms. Oliver: I second the motion.
Mr. Weiner: Second by Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Sandloop:Motion is for denial. Mr. Alcaraz.

Pacific Avenue, Unit A (GPIN 24272444111065). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
34,996 square foot multi-family property zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form Based
Code. The lot consists of a multi-family condominium building with the applicant's
unit containing one bedroom (Unit A). The minimum number of parking spaces
required for the Short Term Rental 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, 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.
As of March 13, 2021, Host Compliance indicates that there are current STR
advertisements associated with the subject address. The last documented stay is
noted as 181-365 days.
• Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to operate a one-bedroom Short Term Rental unit
within the Retreat by the Sea condominium development located at 915 Pacific
Avenue, Unit A. One parking space is required and one parking space is provided
on-site, which meets the requirements of Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning
Ordinance. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
Staff received one letter of concern relating to this request after the Planning
Commission hearing had concluded. The author of the letter noted general worries
relating to STRs and procedures requiring identification of STR tenants,
enforcement of HOA regulations, if/when an STR has an issue requiring police
calls for service, and possible nuisance violations.

Charles K. Bain & Kathy Bain [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
915 Pacific Avenue Unit A
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. We are unaware of any items to be withdrawn, there are no items to
be withdrawn. So, now we will move on to the Consent Agenda and our Vice Chair
Wall will take that over. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are applications that are recommended for approval
by Staff and the Planning Commission concurred, and they are no speaker signed
up in opposition. We have five items on the Consent Agenda today. The first item
is agenda item number one, City of Virginia Beach resolution to schedule monthly
meetings at the Planning Commission of the City of Virginia Beach for April 2021
to December 2021. Can someone from City Staff please speak on this.
Mr. Dao: This is a Resolution to adopt a date of the Planning Commission for the year of
2021, basically from April 2021 to December of 2021.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item being placed on the Consent
Agenda. Hearing none, so, moving on to agenda item number three, Presmont
Construction Services, an application for Conditional Use Permit for Automobile
Service Station. Is there a representative for this item.
Mr. Beaman: Yes, thank you Mr. Vice Chair, Mr. Chair, and Members of the Commission for the
record, my name is Rob Beaman local land use attorney with the Troutman Pepper
Law Firm. We have read the conditions, they are acceptable and we certainly
appreciate being on consent today. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this agenda item being placed on the
Consent Agenda. Hearing none, Mr. Redmond has been asked to read this item
into the record.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you Mr. Vice Chairman and Mr. Chairman. This is an application for a
Conditional Use Permit for an automobile service station. Specifically, it is a
convenience store with eight gas pumps at the corner of Pleasure House Road
and Shore Drive, in the Bayside District in Northwest Virginia Beach. The site is
zoned B-2 community business district, so, it is quite appropriate for this kind of
business. It is a 35,000 square foot site, so, just under an acre. The applicant
seeks to redevelop the site with a 4000 square foot convenience store and eight
fuel pumps as I said if anybody is familiar with this neck of the woods, this site has
been an eyesore for about two decades. The design that the applicant has
1
provided is of a coastal style, which is quite attractive for this kind of product and
it has a very nice mix of materials. The landscaping plan is quite attractive, it
includes some site improvements including sidewalks around both sides of the
property, there is one that exists on Shore Drive, but that will be improved as well.
There is really nothing not to like about this application. There is no opposition,
the Staff has recommended approval and the Commission concurs by consent.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Redmond. The next agenda item is agenda item number four
Grace Bible Church of Virginia Beach Incorporated. This is a Modification of
Conditions for Religious Use. Is there a representative for this item? Please state
your name for the record.
Mr. Bourdon: Eddie Bourdon Virginia Beach Attorney representing Grace Bible Church on this
application. All of the eight conditions as recommended by Staff are certainly
acceptable. We appreciate all of staffs work on this. There was a gentleman now
who was here, who is an adjoining property owner he was here to speak in favor
of, I think he may still be here, but he was in favor of the application I advised him
is on the Consent Agenda. He did not need to speak in his view. I understand,
this morning I was here for the informal that some of you all had some questions
and I am more than happy to try to address or answer them if you, if they were not
answered satisfactorily to any of you or give you little bit of background if that is
what the Commission desires, but otherwise we appreciate being on consent.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. Mr. Horsley has been asked to read this agenda item into the
record.
Mr. Horsley: Thank you, Mr. Wall. Back in 2017, a Conditional Use Permit was approved on
this piece of property just shy of 14 acres and had six conditions, condition five
stated that the parking lot must be at the current grade of the adjoining property.
And, at this time,the applicant is requesting modification of the conditions to allow
changes to the design and changes to the Stormwater Strategy Conceptual Plan.
And, in doing this, the water drainage will change direction it is going to be going
towards London Bridge Road. But, the property is somewhat lower than it needs
to be to drain like it should be. So, three to four feet of field needs to be put in the
property to raise it up and then the stormwater management facilities will work as
is supposed to. I think this will be a big benefit for the surrounding community, the
understanding the residential people in the close by will appreciate this and it will
overall help with our drainage also. So, in staffs opinion, this was a good
application and they deemed it acceptable. We had nobody in opposition to it, so,
we put it on the Consent Agenda. Mr. Bourdon had said if anybody had any
questions he will be glad to answer them, but I think everybody must have gotten
satisfied with the questions this morning. Thank you.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Inman, do you have a disclosure to make.
2
Mr. Inman: Yes, I do. I have a disclosure to make and that I am on the Advisory Board of
Townebank. Townebank appears to have financing on this particular property, and
I do not have a position where I make decisions on loans, and I will be voting on
this matter.
Mr. Wall: Okay,thank you. The next agenda items are agenda items number six and seven.
Dam Neck Storage, LLC, Conditional Use Permit for Bulk Storage Yard and
Modification of Proffers for Mini Warehouse and this includes with amended
condition number two. Do we have a representative to speak on this item.
Mr. Beaman: Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair, Mr. Chair, and Members of the Commission
again for the record Rob Beaman local land use attorney with the Troutman Pepper
Law Firm. We have read the conditions with the correction and Mr. Wall noted,
they are acceptable and we certainly appreciate being on the Consent Agenda.
Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the Consent
Agenda? Hearing none, Ms. Klein has been asked to read this application into the
record.
Mr. Klein: Thank you, Mr. Wall. This property was rezoned from AG1 and 2 Agricultural
Districts to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District in 2005, for office warehouse and
storage uses. The southern parcel is developed with self-storage, the eastern half
of the site is developed with office warehouse and bulk storage, and the applicant
seeks to expand the office warehouse and bulk storage yard uses onto the
remaining western half of the site. The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit
for a bulk storage yard and a Modification of Proffers request to amend proffers
one, two, and four that were associated with the rezoning of the property in 2005,
except for those proffers,the remaining proffers associated with the 2005 rezoning
remain in effect. The proposal includes four buildings with an eight foot tall privacy
and chain link fence and extensive vegetation buffer, exceeds the parking
requirements by 22 spaces, there is no additional driveway or access proposed.
And, as it falls into within the Navy restrictive easements, the Navy reviewed the
proposal and has no objection.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. That was the last item on the Regular Consent Agenda.
Mr. Weiner: Yes, madam my turn. Yes, I am making a disclosure regarding this decision items
number six and seven, I will be not voting on address a 1441 London Bridge Road,
the applicant is a client of mine. The client is Dam Neck Storage, LLC.
Ms. Wilson: No, do you work for Batchelder and Collins.
Mr. Weiner: I work for Batchelder and Collins at 2305 Granby Street in Norfolk, Virginia.
Ms. Wilson: Thank you. Within 24 hours a written letter of abstention will be provided to the
Planning Department.
3
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. So, that was the last item on the Regular Consent Agenda. The
Planning Commission also replaces the following applications for a Conditional
Use Permit for Short-Term Rental on the Consent Agenda as they meet the
applicable requirements for section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff and the
Planning Commission supports the applications and there are no speakers signed
up in opposition. These applications are number 10 and number 12. Okay, I make
a motion that we approve agenda items number 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7. And, for the
Short-Term Rentals agenda items number 10 and 12.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion for approval. Do we have a second.
Ms. Klein: I will second.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, we have a motion by Mr. Wall and a second by Ms. Klein.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Redmond, there are two Short-Term Rentals on here you need to make your
disclosure.
Mr. Redmond:Sure, I was going to wait until we had the hearing, but it seems like it is more
appropriate time. I am abstaining on not just these two items that are on our
Consent Agenda, but on every short-term rental application going forward, as well
as on our consideration of the new ordinance. I have a small client in the travel
business called Expedia Cruises, which I guess you are going to ask me to read
these addresses. Expedia Cruises is a travel agency specializing in cruises. So,
if you wanted to go to Cancun you could walk into a physical location which is what
I am helping them to find and book a cruise. They are located at 1066 West
Hastings Street, number 900 Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3X1, Canada, and
my involvement is through my commercial real estate work with my employer
Divaris Real Estate Inc. at 4525 Main Street, Suite 900, Virginia Beach, Virginia
23462. I do a small amount of work for this cruise company, they are part of a
much larger company called Expedia Group, which also owns I came to learn a
couple weeks ago for the first time, which also owns a couple of online booking
sites VRBO and HomeAway, and therefore I have concluded that it would be
inappropriate for me to participate, not just in the ordinance but in any of the short-
term rental applications, going forward so when we get to that point and the
Commission starts those considerations I will take my leave and leave them to do
their work on their own. Is there anything else you would like me to say, Ms.
Wilson. That is the last time I will make that explanation other than to say, I have
on file with the Planning Department a letter that explains my recusal from this part
of our body of work. Good. Alright. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: We had a motion by Mr. Wall a second by Ms. Klein for the Consent Agenda, we
ready to vote.
Ms. Sandloop:Okay, Mr. Alcaraz.

Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Graham is absent. Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:Aye, with the stipulation that I am particularly recusing myself on the items with
regard to short-term rental. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Vice Chair, Wall.
Mr. Wall: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Chairman Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:By a recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against with modifications to agenda
items 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7, with modifications to agenda item six related to fencing
short-term rental agenda items 10 and 12 have been approved nine in favor and
zero against with Mr. Redmond abstaining from items 10 and 12 and Chairman
Weiner abstaining from items six and seven.

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.
We own 911C which is very near to this unit. Our
comments to consider are as follows:
1) Each short term renter should provide a license
and identification the same as any other motel/hotel
in the beach area. This is a precaution against
misconduct or parking violations as each resident
has an assigned space. Also, there have been too
many police visits to this complex. This would
protect the rest of the owners.
2) The owner should check to make sure the HOA
insurance policy covers this action.
3)The length of the renter's vehicle needs to
comply with the HOA rules as our parking lot is too
small to accommodate vehicles beyond the stated
length.
4.) A copy of the HOA rules should be posted or
given to each renter.
5. Smoking containers are provided by the HOA
outside of entry ways. Please ... no smoking in the
units. One renter burnt up a unit. The smoke travels
all through the ventilation system.
Sincerely,
Janet and Thomas Bowman
