PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 18, 2021
MEETING DATE: June 1 , 2021
■ Background: The City of Virginia Beach (the "City") owns a 1-acre +/- parcel of
vacant land located on Loretta Lane, GPIN: 2417-45-8332 (the "Property"). The
Property was purchased from C. Corp., a Virginia corporation, on November 26,
2013 for $60,000 for the Oceana & Interfacility Traffic Area Conformity &
Acquisition program.
Dominion Energy Virginia, a/k/a Virginia Electric and Power Company
("Dominion"), has requested that the City dedicate a 15'-wide (1,861 sq. ft.)
easement across the front of the Property, for the purpose of installing and
maintaining underground electric facilities (the "Easement").
As a part of their undergrounding program to reduce power outages, Dominion
has requested that the City grant the Easement over the Property. Dominion has
agreed that it will be responsible for the cost of future relocation of its facilities, if
required, so long as the City remains the owner of the Property. Once the
Property is conveyed to any other entity, including the Virginia Beach
Development Authority, the relocation or such costs will fall to the new owner.
• Considerations: The Easement is needed to move forward with a reliability
project in the area.
• Public Information: A public hearing is to be held on May 18, 2021, and public
notice will be provided via the normal City Council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance authorizing conveyance to the United States of America of a safety
arc easement over 15.07 +/- acres of City-owned land at the Red Wing Lake Golf
Course
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 18, 2021
MEETING DATE: June 1, 2021
• Background: The City owns property at 1144 Prosperity Road, on which
it operates the Red Wing Lake Golf Course (the "Golf Course Property"). The City
acquired the Golf Course Property from the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 9, 2002.
During that same time, the City entered into a Deed of Boundary Settlement with the
United States, Department of the Navy (the "Navy") to resolve an overlap of deeds in
the area where the 5th fairway of the golf course was located on the Golf Course
Property. Both the Navy and the City thought they owned the same property, and after
negotiations, the Navy agreed to convey the land to the City. Records at the time
indicated the Navy intended to reserve easements on the overlap area to protect
functions of Dam Neck Station, a facility of NAS Oceana.
The Navy is interested in acquiring a safety arc easement over a 15.07-acre
portion of the Golf Course Property to establish a protective arc around its Naval Air
Station Oceana / Dam Neck Annex to establish an Explosive Safety Quantity Distance
(ESQD) Zone, which is similar to the restriction the Navy intended to reserve at the time
the Deed of Boundary Settlement was signed. This easement (the "ESQD Easement")
will cover a portion of the 5th fairway as depicted on the attached Location Map.
• Considerations: The ESQD Easement will allow the golf course facilities to
remain operational, but it will limit structures in the area of the ESQD Easement to the
existing or similiar golf course features. A copy of the proposed Grant of Easement is
attached.
The Navy had the proposed ESQD Easement appraised; however, the Navy's
appraiser deemed the easement of "nominal" value, because the Golf Course Property
has a deed restriction limiting it to municipal recreation use, and that use (as a golf
course) will be able to continue, albeit with restrictions over the 5th fairway. The Navy
does not share its appraisals, and the City has the option to get its own appraisal, but
due to the likely low value of the easement and due to the nature of the City's positive
relationship with NAS Oceana, the City has opted not to do so.
It is proposed that the City grant the ESQD Easement to the Navy for $1 ,000.
The proceeds from the sale of the ESQD Easement will be deposited in the General
Fund Account #100.405.5000.442020.
• Public Information: Advertisement for public hearing as required by Section
15.2-1800 Code of Virginia and via the normal City Council agenda process. The public
hearing will be held on May 18, 2021 .

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Create the Urban Agriculture Advisory Committee
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
■ Background: The City Zoning Ordinance promotes and protects the health,
safety, and general welfare of the people of the City. The ordinance implements the
City's comprehensive plan by encouraging the most desirable use of land for residential,
agricultural, commercial, industrial, and other purposes. The City's Agricultural Districts
were implemented to protect and preserve agricultural lands for agricultural functions
and to protect and preserve agricultural lands and activities in the rural areas of the City.
City Code § 5-543 restricts people who live in zoning districts other than the Agricultural
Districts from possessing what are colloquially known as barnyard animals, including
poultry and swine, and the Zoning Ordinance prohibits persons who do not live in
Agricultural Districts from engaging in certain agricultural activities. Several City
residents who desire to own backyard hens, mini pigs, or other animals but are unable
to do so because their homes are not in an Agricultural District have asked the Council
to consider amending the City Code to allow such ownership. Residents also have
asked about a City composting program that could divert waste from landfills, which
could enrich soil, decrease the potential for groundwater pollution, and reduce the cost
of using landfills.
• Considerations: The City Council would benefit from receiving the advice and
recommendations of a citizens committee composed of persons with experience in
agricultural matters as wells as residents who do not live in Agricultural Districts to
determine the best paths forward with respect to agriculture in urban areas. This
resolution establishes the Urban Agriculture Advisory Committee. The committee would
consist of eleven members who reflect the geographical makeup of the City Council and
would include persons with agricultural expertise along with residents of urban areas.
Staff support would be provided by the Planning Department along with representatives
of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation, the Health Department, the Animal Control Unit, and the City Attorney's
Office. The committee would study issues referred to it by the City Council—the first two
of which would be (1) backyard hens and mini pigs in districts not zoned for agriculture
and (2) a City composting program—before making recommendations to the City Council.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $550,000 of Fund Balance from the Waste
Management Enterprise Fund to Meet Payroll Obligations
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background: The Waste Management Enterprise Fund requires an additional
$550,000 in order to meet the fund's payroll obligations through the end of FY 2020-21.
There were a number of factors that have contributed to the current payroll shortage in
the fund, which include the following:
• A pay range increase in October 2020 that was implemented for operators in the
Waste Management Division to address concerns regarding compensation equity
for such operators;
• The September 2020 authorization of one-time payments by the City Council for
employees that worked in outward facing roles during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Payments were absorbed within the Operating Budget as Waste Management
Operators were not eligible use of CARES Act funding;
• An unanticipated City employee holiday, Election Day, which increased overtime;
• Increased vacancies that required overtime and the use of contracted manpower;
and
• Elevated tonnage and service demands during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
• Considerations: In order for Waste Management to post their payroll for the rest
of the fiscal year, an appropriation of fund balance is required. Any fund balance that is
appropriated for payroll that remains unspent at the end of the fiscal year will revert back
to Waste Management fund balance.

\ AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend the Scope of Capital Project #100581 , "Crime
Prevention Through Environmental Design," and to Transfer $500,000 to Project
#100581 to Establish a Police Satellite Office in the Resort Area
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background: On March 26, 2021 , several acts of violence occurred at the
Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The City of Virginia Beach has always held the safety of the
public as a top priority. The City Manager's Proposed FY 2021-22 Operating Budget
and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) included new public safety initiatives and
several additional programs and projects were provided to the City Council for
consideration during the Police Department's Operating Budget presentation.
On April 20, 2021 , the City Council adopted an ordinance to address emergent public
safety needs. Among the actions approved by the City Council was the establishment
of a nPw capital nroiPct tti 00581, "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design."
This request is to supplement that project, and further the Council's goal of a safe
Resort Area, with a leased space that will allow the Police Department to establish a
secondary location within the portion of the Resort Area that has the most activity.
Earlier this year, the City Council authorized a "City Manager's Special Pandemic Relief
and Vaccine Support Reserve" (the "Reserve"). The Reserve includes local funding that
is available for other uses due to the reimbursement of public safety salaries through
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act's Coronavirus Relief
Fund. The Reserve provides the City with flexibility in the use of the funding to meet
emerging needs and policy priorities.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance amends the scope of Capital Project
#100581 , "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design," to allow for the lease and
build-out of a Police satellite office in the Resort Area. This office will allow the Police
Department to proactively monitor activities in the Resort Area and respond as needed.
Funding for this lease and build out will occur through a transfer from the Reserve to the
"Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design" project in the Information
Technology Section of the FY 2020-21 CIP. There is a contingency included in the
amount authorized, which if not needed can be directed to future rent.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: MARTHA WHITE [Applicant] STEVEN K. FINGER, ET AL. [Property Owners]
Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations) for the
property located at 6332 Pocahontas Club Road (GPIN 2317838118).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is proposing to create two lots from a 30.10-acre parcel resulting in
one 4.50-acre lot and one 25.6-acre residual lot to settle the estate of the property
owners. The 30.10-acre parcel is currently developed with a single-family dwelling
and is actively cultivated. The allowable density in the agricultural districts is limited
to one dwelling unit for every 15 acres of land. While the lot is comprised of 30.10
acres, only 5.46 acres of land exists outside of water, marsh, wetlands, and
floodplain subject to special restrictions. These areas are not permitted to be
counted towards density. Based on this, the proposal does not meet the minimum
requirements identified in Section 402(b)of the Zoning Ordinance in order to create
the two parcels, necessitating a Subdivision Variance.
• Considerations:
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations states: No variance shall be authorized
by the Council unless it finds that:
• Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
• The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent
property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
• The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make
reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as
an amendment to the ordinance.
• The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including
dimensions and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of
such property, or by the use or development of property immediately adjacent
thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds
for the issuance of a variance.
• The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the
property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such
variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by
reference in this ordinance.
Martha White
Page 2 of 2
The applicant has agreed to limit development to a single-family residence on the
4.50-acre lot and limit the larger parcel to agricultural purposes. The residual 25.6-
acre parcel will not be a buildable lot, as will be indicated on the recorded plat, and
will remain under cultivation. The two lots created by this Subdivision Variance will
meet all the dimensional requirements set forth in the City's Zoning Ordinance for
the agricultural districts. The proposal is consistent with the principles of the
Comprehensive Plan for the rural area and will not adversely affect the character
of the area, as the property will seemingly remain as currently developed.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a recorded vote of 9-0.
1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat with the City of Virginia
Beach Department of Planning & Community Development. Said plat shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning & Community
Development, and plat shall be recorded with the City of Virginia Beach Circuit
Court Clerk's Office within 365 days from the date of the City Council action.
2. There shall be no future residential development or further subdividing of the
25.6 acre residual parcel. A plat note stating that "There shall be no future
residential development or further subdividing of the 25.6 acre residual parcel"
shall be added to the Subdivision plat and recorded with the City of Virginia
Beach Circuit Court Clerk's Office.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The subject parcel was platted in 1966(MB 71, P 20).
• The 30.1-acre parcel,zoned both AG-1&AG-2 Agricultural Districts, is currently developed with an existing single-
family dwelling.
• The applicant is seeking a Subdivision Variance to create two lots from the 30.10-acre parcel by the estate.While the
lot is comprised of 30.10 acres,there is less than 15 acres of land available outside of water, marsh,wetlands,and
floodplain subject to special restrictions,which does not meet the necessary requirements identified in Section
402(b) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to create two parcels. Per Section 402(b),the allowable density in the
Agricultural Districts is limited to one dwelling unit for each 15 acres of land.The acreage for this site,outside of
water, marsh,wetlands, and floodplain subject to special restrictions, is approximately 5.46 acres and therefore
does not satisfy this requirement. Based on this,the applicant is requesting a Subdivision Variance to Section 4.4(b),
as the lots created by this subdivision must meet all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The estate is composed of family members who wish to liquidate their land holdings. One of the family members has
agreed to settle their part of the estate if a portion of the tract can be conveyed to their daughter,who currently
resides in the single-family dwelling on the property.
• The proposal includes one 4.50-acre lot that will contain the existing single-family dwelling.The newly created 4.50-
acre lot will meet all the dimensional requirements set forth for the Agricultural District,as identified in the Zoning
Ordinance.The residual parcel will be comprised of 25.6 acres and will be only used for farming purposes.This
parcel will also meet the dimensional requirements regarding lot width and lot area. Despite this,the amount of
water,wetlands,and floodplain subject to special restrictions decreases the total land area below the minimum
density standard of one unit per 15 acres and is noted in the table below.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the principles of the Comprehensive Plan for the Rural Area.The
Comprehensive Plan focuses on the heritage of the agricultural industry to help preserve and protect the land and
waterways.The environmentally sensitive areas of this parcel will be restricted from development.This request,for a
Subdivision Variance, is aligned with the vision of the Comprehensive Plan, as it is responsive to the environmental
conditions on the site and respects the rural characteristics and heritage of the area.
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations states:
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the
character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the
formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance.
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and
topography,or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property,or by the use or
development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be
considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.
E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at
the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance.
Section 4.4(b)of the Subdivision Regulations states "Except where created by governmental action, lots created by
subdivision must meet all requirements of the zoning ordinance."The Zoning Ordinance requires that lots within the AG-
1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts have a minimum of 150 feet of lot width and 1 acre of lot area.Section 402(b)of the
Zoning Ordiannce states "The allowable density on each tract of land as existing on the effective date of this ordinance
[June 28, 1994] shall be one(1) dwelling unit for each fifteen (15)acres of land as described in the comprehensive plan
as soil area# 1 and soil area#2."As stated previously,the applicant intends to subdivide this 30.1-acre site into two
lots. Despite both lots meeting the dimensional requirements for parcels within the agricultural district,the amount of
Martha White
Agenda Item 8
Page 3
water,wetlands,and floodplain subject to special restrictions on the property decreases the total land area below the
minimum density standard of one dwelling unit per 15 acres. The resulting density is proposed as 5.46 units per acre.
The applicant has agreed to limit any future residential development beyond the existing single-family dwelling and to
not further subdivide. In other words,the residual 25-acre parcel will not be a buildable lot and will remain under
cultivation and is conditioned as such per condition two below.The two lots created by this Subdivision Variance will
meet all the dimensional requirements set forth in the City Zoning Ordinance. In Staffs opinion,this subdivision will not
be of substantial detriment to the adjacent property and will not adversely affect the character of the area,as the
property will seemingly remain as currently developed with the exception of the added property lines to subdivide the
property into two lots.
Based on these considerations,Staff finds that the proposed subdivision to be in keeping with the existing character of
the area and recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat with the City of Virginia Beach Department of Planning&
Community Development.Said plat shall be subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning&
Community Development,and plat shall be recorded with the City of Virginia Beach Circuit Court Clerk's Office
within 365 days from the date of the City Council action.
2. There shall be no future residential development or further subdividing of the 25.6 acre residual parcel.A plat note
stating that"There shall be no future residential development or further subdividing of the 25.6 acre residual
parcel"shall be added to the Subdivision plat and recorded with the City of Virginia Beach Circuit Court Clerk's
Office.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being located within the Rural Area with primarily
agricultural and rural related activities.The Comprehensive Plan visualizes the Rural Area to remain rural into the
foreseeable future by focusing its objectives on agricultural and environmental economic value to preserve the area for
future generations. Focusing on the heritage of the agricultural industry help preserve and protect the land and
waterways.Therefore, it is critical for the wetlands,floodplains, and remaining environmentally sensitive areas of the
parcel be restricted from development. Additionally,the Comprehensive Plan supports multigenerational farming that
sustains the lifestyle of the family residing in the rural area. Rural residential developments shall complement the rural
character of the area and respect and respond to the natural environment. Design of such development shall reflect the
architectural heritage and agrarian character of southern Virginia Beach.

Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers Watershed and there are no known significant cultural resources associated
with this site. Drainage in the Southern Rivers Watershed is highly impacted by the presence of high ground water,
poorly draining soils, and high water surface elevations in downstream receiving waters.

Item 8
Martha H. White [Applicant] Steven K. Finger et al. [Property Owner]
Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations
6332 Pocahontas Club Road
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Thank you very much. We're going to go to Item Number 8.
Madam Clerk: Agenda Item Number 8. Martha H. White is an application for a Subdivision
Variance of Section 4.4(b)of the Subdivision Regulations on property located at 6332 Pocahontas
Club Road in the Princess Anne District.Will the applicant or the applicants' representative please
step to the podium?
Mr. Weiner: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record?
Mr. Warren: My name is Harold Warren. I'm with the land surveying company of Warren and
Associates and we are here to support Ms. White, who's here. Basically, we're tidying up the
estate. One of Mrs. White's sister, Betty Styron, she's willing to settle her part of the estate by
letting her daughter continue to live in this home. We've agreed with Marchelle that a little change
in the note would be perfect on the subdivision plat, and I don't think we have anybody who has
a problem with the plan. Are there any questions on it?
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Harold, what is the change you want to put into in there?
Mr. Warren: It's just a simple change to that if we were to put the property back in its original
configuration, we could actually tear down the existing house there and move it over to a part of
the property that's out of the flood zone.
Mr. Horsley: In other words, what you're saying is if the two pieces of property ended up in one
ownership, and they wanted to remove their home that's there and build one more, build another
home on the spot that that meets the ordinance, elevation and whatever.
Mr. Warren: Yeah, to get the property out of the flood zone. I mean, it's muddy and why they put
this home over there, I'm not quite sure. But we've agreed that if we were allowed to do the 4 and
a half acre tract of land, we'll never put anything another residential unit on the other parcel. But,
I wanted to put a note in there that if somebody was able to come buy the land and possibly
remove the line, the new subdivision line between the properties,that we could actually put a new
house on that 25-acre tract.
1
Mr. Horsley: Can I ask Mr.Tajan a question?
Mr. Weiner: Go ahead; I think that's the same one.
Mr. Horsley: If that would have happened, if in the future somebody went there, or if the lady that
owns a four and a half acre piece that she would be getting, the daughter, if she ended up with
the whole property, just for example, and they wanted to remove that house they would have to
remove the lot line, they still have to go to Council or come to Planning and have a lot line
removed, and they could petition to build a home on another location as long as it met the
elevation and whatever.
Mr. Warren: Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but—
Mr. Horsley: No, I'm asking Mr. Tajan.
Mr. Tajan: So, the Subdivision Variance right now would be to create the two substandard lots
based on the amount of wetlands that are located on the property, and they don't meet the criteria.
If they were to put the properties back together, and I'm trying to look at it now. The existing
property itself now does not meet the minimum standard, minimum acreage of property over
outside of the water marsh wetlands or the floodplains with special restrictions. So, I understand
their point that they want to be able to maintain the ability to build one residence on the lot if they
ever put it all back together. There is one residence on the lot now. Staff doesn't disagree with
that approach. We believe we can come up with a revised condition. But again, the key is that on
this parcel, this whole parcel, though regardless of what it is, it's going to only be allowed to have
one residence.
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, I think that's understood it can only be one residence. But I think what most
Mr. Harold wanted to do is if somebody ended up with the whole parcel, could they move, build,
or do away with that house and build it on another location?
Mr. Tajan: Currently, the way it's worded now, they could not.
Mr. Horsley: Could not.
Mr. Tajan: Yes, that's correct.
Mr. Horsley: Can that wording be changed to satisfy that?
Mr. Tajan: I believe we can. Our concern, of course is that we're creating the larger lot which
does not meet the requirements. So, we don't want to in the future, let's say it never comes back
together, that no residence is built on that lot, I'm having trouble knowing how to say both right,
because we need on the plat when we created that that one lot is not buildable. We do have
something written up and I just need to make sure I run it by the City Attorney to see if we're on
2
the same page, and that we can do both. It may be that we add a third condition to the proposal
that could cover the ability if they put it back together if that makes sense.
Mr. Weiner: Can I say something really quick? So, no matter what if this house gets torn down
and they go to build a new house, no matter what, it still has to come back to Planning.
Mr. Tajan: I think the applicant is requesting that it doesn't have to come back as far as the
Subdivision Variance.
Mr. Weiner: Is that what you're saying?
Mr. Warren: Yeah, you know, this is kind of expensive, and the whole parcel will only ever have
one residential unit just like it is now. If we were to vacate the lot line we create, we're just asking
that we can only have one house there and put it in a different spot on the lot that's more favorable
flood zone wise, and soils.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Horsley, how do you feel about that?
Mr. Horsley: I mean, I see what he's saying.The likelihood of that happening is kind of farfetched,
but I guess it could happen, and I just think Harold's thinking that if he puts an opportunity there,
it would make the property maybe a little bit more valuable as I see. I'm not sure.
Mr. Tajan: It does not preclude them to come back to amend the Subdivision Variance, as well.
If they put the property back together, and they come back to the process, of course, Staff would
be supportive of putting it back the way it was. But the hard part for us is we want to make sure
we hold firm on the ability that we're not creating a lot. Yeah, right now we're creating a lot that
doesn't meet the minimum criteria in either direction, right. So, we just want to make sure that
we're capturing that and I'm sorry, now I'll stop with my comments.
Mr. Weiner: Yes sir, Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Couldn't the subdivision plat simply have a provision on it that says that there'll be
only one house on it. I mean, so many words, pick your lot but it's only one house and there can
only be one house on the two lots. No, that's not what I'm trying to say. Yeah. I know there's a
way to say it. But the idea being that on the total property, there can only be one house, it can be
on either lot but not at the same time. There's a way to say that, if on a plat if you had it. If you
could wouldn't that solve the problem?
Mr. Horsley: I think best thing to do is go with it like it is and if that situation happens,that applicant
would come back and request Planning to do away with the lot line and they build. There would
be only one dwelling on the 30 acres to start with, and then that that would have to come back
through here. It would be a cleaner way to do it, I think if we did that, and then they could have
that lot line dissolved and then they could build the house on another side. Is that the cleaner way
to do it most of time?
3
Mr. Tajan: Yeah, it is Mr. Horsley. That is the cleaner way.
Mr. Horsley: I'd think so. Harold, I think that's really the cleaner way. It's going to probably cost
somebody a little bit of money and 15 and 20 years but you and I won't be here to bother that.
But, I think the goal now is to get it so the people, the family can get the estate settled and I think
this what we've got here does that, and I don't think we'll create any confusion but by leaving it
like that. I think it's the best way.
Mr. Wall: I'm just curious. How long has the property been in the family's ownership?
Mr. Warren: Had it since the 60s, early 60s.
Mr. Weiner: The Halstead family.
Mr. Warren: 1949.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, any other questions?
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, that's kind of been a difficult one. We've talked to Harold about it several
times, I have talked to Ms. White about it several times, I've even talked to Bobby about it. Ms.
Henley, she's been scratching her head what to do. She just said Don, take care of it. So, we've
come up with this and I think this is the cleanest, clearest way to handle it and let the family go
ahead and get their estate settled, and then if that situation comes about again, I think...
Mr. Warren: I'll put the line back.
Mr. Horsley: Yeah.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Alright, thank you. Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: I'll make a motion that we approve the application as stated.

Subject: FW: 5/18/21 City Council Meeting, Applicant Martha H White Subdivision Variance 6332
Pocahontas Club Road
From:Carol Halstead<chalstead381@gmail.com>
Date: May 10, 2021 at 9:07:54 AM EDT
To:citycouncil@vbgov.com
Subject: 5/18/21 City Council Meeting,Applicant Martha H White Subdivision Variance 6332
Pocahontas Club Road
The above application approved by the planning department is set to be heard in front of city council
May 18 at 6pm. We are unable to attend the meeting date and time.
My husband and I own and are residents of 6296 Pocahontas Club Road and our parcel is in the middle
of and was part of the original Halstead estate. Our property was subdivided from the adjoining family
estate land on both sides of us by my husbands father,Travis Halstead, in 1967 I believe. We are the 3rd
generation on our property.
It has been our understanding that the land on either side of us which includes the applicants 30.1 acres
at 6332 Pocahontas Club Road as well as an additional 6 acres on the other side could not be further
subdivided. It is also our understanding that the 30.1 acre parcel (6332) and the 6 acres on the other
side of our property are one deed, but 2 parcels, both parcels of which are still part of the Halstead
estate.
Although we do not stand against the 4 acre subdivide from the current right parcel for a family member
with the condition that no other home is built on the 30.1 acre property as proposed by the planning
commission, our concern is the deeded right of way that exists on the current estate deed for the entire
surrounding property to include the 30.1 acres at 6332 Pocahontas as well as the other 6 acres included
on the other side of us
The deeded right of way for both adjoining properties still in the estate grants access to the canal
through our property, our back yard. With the new subdivision of the 4 acre parcel creates another
unknown with a potential future sale of that lot,the remaining unbuildable parcel and the additional 6
acre parcel on the other side. This further expands access to our property unless the new deed for the 4
acre parcel and the current estate deeds/parcels to the remaining property on both sides are amended
during this process to withdraw that right of way. We seek to protect our privacy and usage of our land
by any unknown future parties to the estate as well as the unknown parties by way of future sale of any
of any of the remaining adjoining estate land.
We ask that the council protect our right to privacy and right to restrict our property access to future
parties by removing the right of way access for this amendment as well as for any future sale of the
remaining adjoining estate properties.
Thank you,
Kathleen Halstead. 757-620-8688

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: FESTIVAL, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Special Exception for
Alternative Compliance (Request for outdoor dining and entertainment,
outdoor recreation, commercial parking lot, open-air market, and recurring
special events on site with various outbuildings, structures and signs that
do not meet the requirements of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based
Code) for the property located at 712 Atlantic Avenue (GPIN
24272359400000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
The subject property is home to "The Shack," a primarily outdoor resort
establishment that has grown and modified over the years to host a variety of
unique, temporary but often recurring events and venues, including open-air
markets (food trucks), outdoor entertainment, festivals, and fundraisers. Most
activity takes place on the eastern side of the property in the 11,000 square foot
improved outdoor area where various outbuildings, pergolas, decks, patios, and
fencing have been added over time. The western portion of the site contains a
surface parking lot that encroaches into the required parking setback along Pacific
Avenue. Vehicles access this area only from Atlantic Avenue via the former 8th
Street right-of-way, which also contains parking spaces that are periodically rented
out to the public. This is considered a commercial parking lot and is included as
part of the Alternative Compliance request. Lastly, the site contains a number of
nonconforming permanent and temporary signs placed periodically along both
Atlantic and Pacific Avenues to advertise special events.
The applicant is seeking Alternative Compliance for the various uses listed above
as they have expanded in size and frequency beyond what can be considered
accessory. The surface parking lot fronting Pacific Avenue requires Alternative
Compliance as it does not meet the build-to and parking setback requirements.
Finally, Alternative Compliance approval is sought to allow the existing signs to
remain and to allow temporary signs to be displayed as needed for the various
events that will take place throughout the year.

• Considerations:
The Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code (ORDFBC) provides flexibility
through the Alternative Compliance process to accommodate unique uses and
development forms that contribute to the character and ambiance envisioned in
the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP 2030) but do not follow the
"prescribed form" as written. Section 7.3.3 of the ORDFBC provides the `Review
Standards' for these applications, noting that the City Council "shall consider the
extent to which the proposed development, taken as a whole," satisfies these
standards.
Staff has determined, and the Planning Commission concurred, that the unique
activities, events, and environment at "The Shack" have established its reputation
as a memorable and successful place, even during the off-season, supporting the
RASAP 2030's goal to be a year-round destination. Appropriately, the front of the
establishment is oriented towards Atlantic Avenue, a Shopping frontage type,
which is the Oceanfront Resort District's most pedestrian-friendly streetscape. To
the west is Pacific Avenue, a Gateway frontage type, which is intended to carry the
heaviest volumes of vehicular traffic through the district. Accordingly, this is where
the parking lot is located. Although the Pacific Avenue frontage currently reads
more like a back-of-house environment, the conditions recommended below
include reasonable streetscape improvements to provide better screening and
improve pedestrian infrastructure. Additional conditions are recommended, as
noted below, to mitigate potential adverse impacts resulting from the proposed
deviations to the Oceanfront Form-Based Code. There is no known opposition to
this request.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021, the Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent
Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 8 to 0, with 1 abstention, to
recommend approval of this request.
1. Within 60 days of City Council approval of this application for Alternative
Compliance, the applicant shall submit a site plan showing all existing and any
anticipated new structures and surfaces for the existing "Shack" development,
including stormwater calculations for the depicted structures and surfaces, and
all other required information to the Development Services Center. The
applicant shall diligently pursue, and the City shall timely review and provide
comments on the site plan, which the applicant will obtain approval of within
one year of site plan submittal. If the applicant fails to meet either deadline, all
existing temporary structures shall be retrofitted to meet building code and site
requirements for permanent structures or shall be removed within 90 days of
the applicable deadline. No proposals for new, temporary structures shall be
considered until the site is brought into full compliance with building code and
site plan development requirements.

2. Within two years of City Council approval of this application for Alternative
Compliance, the wire barriers between the bollards shall be removed and the
bollards themselves shall either be removed or maintained and painted in a
manner agreed upon by the Planning Director and Department of Public
Works. The grass verge in the streetscape on the southern portion of Pacific
Avenue shall be replaced with pavers matching those in the northern section,
adjacent to the former 8th Street right-of-way and 9th Street Municipal Parking
Garage. Existing plantings along the entire Pacific Avenue street frontage shall
be supplemented or replaced with canopy trees, evergreen shrubs, and
flowering perennials and grasses in a tiered format to provide shade,
screening and buffering for the surface parking lot and enhance the pedestrian
environment. Wheel stops shall be installed in the parking lot to protect
plantings. The specifics of this design shall be determined during the detailed
site plan review process.
3. The parking attendant stand shall be removed, refurbished or replaced. If a
new or refurbished structure is proposed, the design and placement shall be
subject to approval by the Planning Director.
4. All new, permanent structures shall either comply with the prescribed or
optional forms of development in the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based
Code or shall substantially conform to the renderings depicted in "The Shack
Addition, Virginia Beach, Virginia," dated November 19, 2018 by Hanbury,
which has been exhibited to the City Council and is shown on pages 7 through
11 of this staff report. While the general configuration of the proposed site
layout shall conform to the renderings, the exact location of the building
footprint shall be determined during detailed site plan review.
5. When the proposed addition or other primary permanent structure is
constructed, transformers, mechanical structures, and other minor structures
accessory to utility facilities greater than four feet tall shall be placed where
not visible from the public right-of-way. Such structures that are already in
place and cannot be relocated shall be screened in accordance with Sec. 3.2.4
of the Oceanfront Form-Based Code.
6. Bicycle racks designed in conformance with the City's bicycle parking design
guidelines to accommodate at least 35 bicycles shall be provided in a
designated location to be determined during detailed site plan review.
Additional bicycle parking shall be added on the property as needed during
peak season or other special events.
7. Any changes to existing, legally nonconforming signs on the property shall be
subject to approval by the Planning Director. Temporary signs advertising
special events shall be permitted but limited to a set location, size, and material
subject to approval by the Planning Director. Such signs shall be exempt from
the standard limits on duration and frequency of posting throughout the year.

Background & Summary of Proposal
The subject property is home to"The Shack,"a primarily outdoor resort establishment with dining,entertainment, and
outdoor recreation facilities that has become popular with both visitors and residents.
Uses
The establishment has grown and adapted over the years to host a variety of unique,temporary but often recurring
events and venues, including food trucks,open air markets, outdoor entertainment,festivals,and fundraisers.Although
these uses were initially considered accessory to the primary indoor eating and drinking establishment,they have
expanded in size and frequency beyond what can be considered accessory.This Alternative Compliance application
addresses the uses listed above, many of which are considered conditional uses that would ordinarily require a
Conditional Use Permit. Due to the number,variety and unique nature of these uses,the Planning Director has
determined a single application for Alternative Compliance application is sufficient to address both uses and form
requirements.
Structures and Site Layout
The existing, primary structure consists of a one-story, 9,300 square foot masonry building on the south side of the site,
fronting Atlantic Avenue.A smaller,two-story masonry building, is immediately adjacent to the west.The 11,000 square
foot improved outdoor area contains various semi-enclosed outbuildings, pergolas,decks, patios, and fencing that have
been added as the business has evolved.A dumpster enclosure is located on the southwest corner of the site, adjacent
to the alley.
The proposed new structure is an L-shaped,two-story quasi-open air building placed north of the existing building in a
configuration that frames the open air customer area as oriented towards Atlantic Avenue.The exact placement of the
new structure is dependent on relocation or abandonment of existing infrastructure in the former 8'Street right-of-
way,which will be determined during detailed site plan review.
Parking
Although there is no parking requirement for the proposed uses due to the site's location between Atlantic and Pacific
Avenues,the western part of the site that fronts Pacific Avenue has been paved and striped for parking. Vehicles access
this area only from Atlantic Avenue via the former 8th Street right-of-way,which was conveyed to the previous owner in
the late 1990's to accommodate construction of the City's 9"Street Parking Garage.After the street was closed in 1997,
the former property owner placed bollards within the public right-of-way at the western end of 8th Street and along the
remainder of the property's frontage on Pacific Avenue.The former 8'Street right-of-way also contains parking spaces,
which the applicant periodically rents for use by the public.A self-serve kiosk similar to those used by the City of Virginia
Beach for on-street metered parking has been installed near the entrance on Atlantic Avenue on the applicant's
property.
Signage
There is an existing, nonconforming freestanding sign that exceeds the eight foot maximum height currently permitted
in the OR District.The area of the sign appears to be in compliance with the 64 square foot maximum for property with
more than 200 feet of street frontage.The code currently limits the portion of the sign used for changeable copy to 30%
of the sign area.
Additional temporary signs have been placed periodically along both Atlantic and Pacific Avenues. While temporary
signs are permitted,the zoning code limits their display to a maximum of seven days,three times per year.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code (ORDFBC) provides flexibility through the Alternative Compliance
process to accommodate unique uses and development forms that contribute to the character and ambiance envisioned
in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP 2030) but do not follow the "prescribed form" as written. Section 7.3.3
of the FBC provides the'Review Standards'for these applications, noting that the City Council "shall consider the extent
to which the proposed development,taken as a whole,"satisfies these standards. Each of those standards is listed
below,with a Staff comment pertaining to the degree to which the proposal meets each.
Advances the stated goals and objectives of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan and this Code,and specifically,the
extent to which the proposed development:
• Promotes modes of transportation other than the automobile,including walking and transit.Staff Comments:
The site's location on Atlantic Avenue is a prime,pedestrian-oriented environment. In addition, the outdoor
activities on this site promote the use of open-air forms of transportation like walking, biking, or use of other
micromobility devices. The conditions recommended below include the addition of a designated location to safely
park and secure bicycles without obstructing the sidewalk.
• Creates a built environment that is in scale with pedestrian-oriented activities and provides visual interest and
orientation for pedestrians.Staff Comments: The Atlantic Avenue street frontage is particularly engaging to
passers by, with island-themed decor, lush plantings, and enough visibility to the many activities on the site to
add interest without overwhelming the public realm.Although the Pacific Avenue frontage currently reads more
like a back-of-house environment, the conditions recommended below include reasonable streetscape
improvements from the back of sidewalk to the edge of the parking lot.
• Contributes to a mix of uses in the area that are compatible with each other and work together to create a
memorable and successful place.Staff Comments:The unique activities,events, and environment at The Shack have
established its reputation as a memorable and successful place, even during the off-season,supporting the goal to be
a year-round destination.
• Is consistent with the intent of the regulations applicable to the street frontage in which it is located,as set forth in
Sec.2.1 of this code.Staff Comments:Appropriately, the front of the establishment is oriented towards Atlantic
Avenue, a Shopping frontage type, which is the Oceanfront Resort District's most pedestrian friendly streetscape. To
Festival, LLC
Agenda Item 18
Page 3
the west is Pacific Avenue, a Gateway frontage type, which is intended to carry the heaviest volumes of vehicular
traffic through the district.Accordingly, this is where the parking lot is located.
• Is physically and functionally integrated with the built environment in which it is located.Staff Comments:The uses
and structures on the majority of the site are well-suited in the Resort District.Streetscape improvements to the Pacific
Avenue frontage as described in the recommended conditions will address deficiencies on this side of the property.
• Advances the goals and objectives of the parking strategy for the District.Staff Comments:As stated above, the
outdoor nature of the activities at The Shack promote walking and biking, alleviating some of the demand for parking.
For those arriving by car,parking is available on site as well as next door in the 9th Street Municipal Parking Garage.
Parking in the former 8th Street right-of-way functions much like it would if it were still publicly owned, mitigating
confusion for the public.
• The City Council shall also consider the potential impacts of the proposed deviation on surrounding properties and
the extent to which any adverse impacts from such deviation can be mitigated.Staff Comments:The noise and
activity generated at the Shack is appropriate for its location on the Oceanfront Corridor. However,due to the
presence of hotels in the vicinity and residences across Lake Holly to the west, amplified music is prohibited after 11
p.m. The recommended conditions also require streetscape improvements along Pacific Avenue to provide better
screening for the parking lot and enhance the sidewalk.
Based on the conclusion that the proposed uses and associated structures satisfy the standards above to the greatest
extent possible,Staff recommends approval of this Special Exception for Alternative Compliance to the Form-Based
Code.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The subject property is within the Resort Strategic Growth Area (SGA),one of eight SGAs designated by the
Comprehensive Plan.The original Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP), adopted in 2008, identified eight top
priorities, most of which have been completed. One of the outstanding items, "Develop Dome Site as major
entertainment venue," has continued support in the recently updated plan,RASAP 2030.Adopted by City Council on
Festival, LLC
Agenda Item 18
Page 5
June 2, 2020,RASAP 2030 establishes new goals for the Resort SGA in the next decade while continuing support for the
outstanding priorities.
The restated vision established in RASAP 2030 is to"identify and implement public amenities and infrastructure
improvements and update codes,guidelines,and city review processes to encourage private development,enabling the
Virginia Beach Resort Area to become a diverse,world-class,year-round coastal community for residents and visitors"
(p. 10). Continuing the theme from the previous plan,further distinguishing multiple sub-districts with their own unique
character will be key to creating a diverse resort area with something for everyone to enjoy year round.
The subject site is in the Oceanfront Corridor,the main north-south connector and the area where the majority of
visitors stay and gather.This must be a beautiful and inviting place for pedestrians to shop and dine as well as carry a
significant amount of traffic.The plan suggests a mobility plan and streetscape improvements are needed to accomplish
these goals.This site has frontage on two primary streets:Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Avenue. Both streets in this
vicinity have been identified as second priority for streetscape improvements,with first priority assigned to 17th Street
(west of Cypress Avenue)and Atlantic Avenue (15th—25th Streets).
Stormwater Impacts
There is a 30-inch stormwater main in the former 8th Street right-of-way. Although temporary structures have been
approved over this pipe, any permanent structures must be offset by at least ten feet in order to prevent damage and
allow for maintenance.As an alternative,the pipe can be abandoned or relocated if the system can be redesigned to fulfill
this function by another means.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
There is an existing 16-inch city water transmission main along Atlantic Avenue.
There is an existing 8-inch city water main along 8th Street.
There is an existing 12-inch city water main along Pacific Avenue.
There is an existing 10-inch city water main along Pacific Avenue.
This site currently connects to city water.The existing 2" domestic meter(City ID#95087437) can be used or upgraded
to accommodate the proposed use.
Sewer
There is an existing 18-inch city sanitary sewer gravity main along Atlantic Avenue.
The site currently connects to city sanitary sewer.

Item # 18
Festival, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Alternative Compliance
712 Atlantic Avenue
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the on the Consent Agenda is Festival LLC for Alternative
Compliance. Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Vice-Chair Wall, Chairman Weiner and members of the Commission.
First of all, I appreciate y'all letting me take a couple of seconds of time to address one of the
conditions as Ms. Moss indicated, but first I want to great express my great appreciation to Ms.
Moss and to Planning Director Tajan who have put in a great deal of time and effort in helping
and listening and working with my clients on this application. I also thank the RAC PDRC for their
endorsement of this request as well. And with the caveat of the comments, I'm going to make on
condition number two, the first two sentences of condition number two, the 12 conditions as
revised, are acceptable to my clients.
On condition number two, the first sentence concerning the wire connected bollards, which are
located entirely within the Pacific Avenue public right of way; these bollards were present when
my client purchased the property. This parking area on the Pacific Avenue side of the property
was also present and in use when he purchased the property, and there was no landscaping
whatsoever. And this parking area existed prior to our adoption of the Form Based Code as well.
My client has done a significant amount of landscaping and within the next 10 days is going to be
doing a tremendous amount of additional landscaping and hopefully, it will further obscure these
bollards. My client was willing to paint them if it was possible, but they are so corroded and rusted
and what have you, they're dangerous and you can't even get the wire out from between them.
So, they're on City property, and he has concerns about undertaking to remove them and has
been advised by separate counsel, that that's not something that he should engage in. I'm not
asking you to change the condition but just want to put that on the record. The sidewalk widening
or with pavers on the second sentence is something that he's willing to potentially undertake, but
there are issues with having to treat storm water in public right of way on his site and taking away
development potential on his site; that will have to be addressed as we move forward through the
site plan process. And I appreciate you all placing this matter on the Consent Agenda.
Mr.Wall: All right.Thank you. Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be on the Consent
Agenda? Hearing none, we've asked Mr. Alcaraz to read this into the record.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you, Mr. Wall. The subject property is home to The Shack; a primarily outdoor
resort establishment with dining, entertainment, and outdoor recreational facilities that have
1
become popular with both visitors and residents. The establishment has grown and adapted over
the years to host a variety of unique temporary but often reoccurring events venues including food
trucks, open air markets, outdoor entertainment,festivals and fundraisers.The Oceanfront District
-- excuse me, the Oceanfront Resort District Form Based Code provides flexibility through the
Alternative Compliance process to accommodate unique uses and development forms that
contribute to the character and ambience of the --envisioned in the Resort Area Strategic Action
Plan, RASAP 2030, but do not but do not follow the prescribed form as written in Section 7.33 of
the Ordinance I just stated, provides the review standards for these applications, noting that the
City Council shall consider the extent to which the proposed development taken as a whole
satisfies these standards. Each of these standards is listed on the report. And having said that,
based on the conclusion with the uses and associated structures that satisfy the standards above
the greatest extent possible, staff recommends approval of the special exemption of the
Alternative Compliance to the Form-Based Code. And I'm making sure I say this right, with the
recommendations or revisions that Mr. Eddie Bourdon just stated, are on the agenda -- are put
on the Consent Agenda for approval.
Mr. Tajan: I believe that the applicant or Mr. Bourdon has represented that he's not requesting
any change to the conditions that were provided to you in the supplement, which was provided to
you last night that had revisions to conditions 1, 3, 5 and 6.
Mr.Alcaraz: Pertaining to Mr. Bourdon. Are we good?Then I retract what I said and I recommend
approval on the Consent Agenda as stated on the report. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
2
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have motion by Mr. Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein. You're ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent Mr. Coston?

Mr. Coston: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Ms. Klein?
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Redmond is absent, Vice-Chair Wall?
Mr. Wall: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Chairman Weiner?
Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Madam Clerk: By recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against, Agenda Items 2, 3, 4, 5 9, 10,
11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 have been recommended for approval by consent. Agenda Item Number
18, 23, 26 and 28 have with a recorded vote of eight in favor, zero against and one abstention for
each agenda item have been recommended for approval by consent.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, Madam Clerk. Thank you for those who've had items on the consent
agenda. They will be scheduled in the future to be on City Council agenda. Now we will move to
the items that we will hear. Madam Clerk will take care of that, please.

AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: KROLL INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Proffers to a Conditional Rezoning (additional option of an
exterior building material) for the property located at 1529 Taylor Farm Road
(GPIN 1495752206). COUNCIL DISTRICT — ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
The applicant seeks to amend the 2004 proffer agreement in order to expand the
options for exterior building materials that can be used on this site to include fiber
cement siding (Hardie Plank) for the proposed office-warehouse building in the
London Bridge Commerce Park. The 2004 proffer agreement limits the façades
along the rights-of-way to be constructed of either brick, split face block or stone.
• Considerations:
Development within this commerce park primarily consists of an industrial
warehouse character. The proposed development reflects an office warehouse
building that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for
attractive and high-quality architectural building materials and designs along key
roadways and is a by-right use under the I-1 Light Industrial District regulations
and consistent with the existing proffers. Further details pertaining to the
application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021 , the Planning Commission placed this application on the
Consent Agenda, recommending approval by a recorded vote of 9-0.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff's opinion, the applicant's request to include cement fiber board as a permitted construction material within the
Taylor Farm Commerce Park is acceptable.The surrounding buildings consist of an industrial warehouse character while
the proposed building contains an office building appearance. The Conceptual Elevation Plans depicted on pages 8& 9
of this report show the building to be of high quality materials and architectural designs. This is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan recommendation that calls for development along key roadways to have attractive and high-quality
architectural building materials and designs.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the proffers listed below.

be approved,the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.

Item # 12
Kroll Investment Group, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Proffers
1529 Taylor Farm Road
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL—CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Graham. The next application is application number 12. Kroll Investment
Group LLC, Modification of Proffers. Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Bourdon: Again, thank you Vice-Chair, Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission. For the
record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney representing Kroll investments. This is a proffer
modification, so there are no conditions other than the proffers that we've modified and simple
application. Again, appreciate being on the Consent Agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, we've asked Mr. Inman to read this into the record.
Mr. Inman: Thank you Mr. Wall. This is an application for Modification of Proffers. The subject
site is in the Taylor Farm Commerce Park and was zoned Conditional 11 back in 2002. The issue
here is that the exterior facade of the building constructed in Taylor Farm Park must be brick split
face block-- painted block concrete panels, stone, wood, E.I.F.S or metal and be of an earth tone.
The request is to modify the proffers to allow for the use of fiberboard hardie plank. The staff's
opinion is that the cement fiberboard as a permitted construction material within a park is
acceptable. The surrounding buildings are industrial and some office --this is going to be more of
an office appearance but also have a storage area. It's felt that this is consistent with the
comprehensive plan recommendation that calls for development along key roadways to have an
attractive high quality architectural building materials and design. So, on that basis, we agree and
put it on the Consent Agenda.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
1
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
2
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have motion by Mr. Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein. You're ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Ms. Klein?
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Redmond is absent, Vice-Chair Wall?
Mr. Wall: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Chairman Weiner?
Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Madam Clerk: By recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against, Agenda Items 2, 3, 4, 5 9, 10,
11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 have been recommended for approval by consent. Agenda Item Number

18, 23, 26 and 28 have with a recorded vote of eight in favor, zero against and one abstention for
each agenda item have been recommended for approval by consent.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, Madam Clerk. Thank you for those who've had items on the consent
agenda. They will be scheduled in the future to be on City Council agenda. Now we will move to
the items that we will hear. Madam Clerk will take care of that, please.

decreased from 14 feet to 8 feet by the applicant. Further details pertaining to the
application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
One letter of concern was received by Staff noting concern related to sight line
obstruction.
• Recommendation:

Evaluation & Recommendation
The proposal to install a freestanding monument sign along Cherry Tree Place, in Staff's opinion, is acceptable. The
proposed sign will be located behind the existing art sculpture with additional trees and shrubs to be planted that will
improve the aesthetic of the site. The proposal has been reviewed by Traffic Engineering and commented that the
proposed sign location will not cause sight obstruction to vehicular traffic at this intersection.
The Bayfront Advisory Commission recommends that the length of the monument sign be reduced from fourteen feet to
eight feet in keeping with the Shore Drive Corridor Design Guidelines. The applicant submitted a revised plan with the
length of the sign reduced to eight feet and the height of the letters below 12 inches. The revised monument sign on
page 7 of this report meets the criteria of the Design Guideline.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions noted below.

CRP-GREP Overture Chesapeake Owner, LLC [Applicant] CFC, LLC [Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions
3399 Ocean Shore Avenue
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL —CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the agenda is Agenda Item Number 14; CRP-GREP
Overture Chesapeake Owner, LLC is the applicant and CFC LLC is the property owner, for
Modifications of Conditions. Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Palmer: Good afternoon Chairman, Vice-Chairman, members of the Planning Commission.
My name is Grady Palmer; I'm an attorney representing the property owner. We appreciate being
put on consent and we are in agreement with the recommended conditions. Thank you. I'll stand
by.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Is there any opposition for this item to be on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none,
we've asked Mr. Graham to read this into the record.
Mr. Graham: Thank you, Mr. Wall. This application is for the Overture Apartments in the Shore
Drive area of Virginia Beach at 3399 Ocean Shore Avenue. The applicant has applied for a
Modification of Conditions to allow a freestanding monument sign to be located on Cherry Tree
Place. The applicant has worked with the Bayfront Advisory Board to come up with an appropriate
size for the sign. The Planning Commission agrees with Planning staff's recommendation to
approve the application and therefore has placed Agenda Item 14 on the Consent Agenda.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.

Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have a motion by Mr. Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein. You're ready to vote?

Subject: Mon, ument along Cherry Tree Place
CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the City of Virginia Beach. Do not click links or open attachments unless you
recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
I'm writing as a resident at Cape Henry Towers concerning the placement of a monument by Overture Chesapeake
Owner LLC. Please consider the visual barrier the monument may provide to Page Avenue residents making a short Left
turn onto Cherry Tree Place for the light onto Shore Drive. Currently, the vision is obscured already by large trucks and
large SUVs parking on Cherry Tree Place. Another obstacle will make this intersection even more prone to accidents.
Please consider the visual field for drivers attempting to make Left turns onto Cherry Tree Place by placing the sign at a
low height far from the road, 40-50 feet away from the edge, closer to the Overture building.
Thank you.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: NORTH LANDING BEACH RV RESORT & COTTAGES — VIRGINIA BEACH,
LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Modification of Conditions to a
Conditional Use Permit(Recreational Campground) for the property located
at 161 Princess Anne Road (GPIN 2317412793). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
To continue to grow the resort and offer additional amenities to guests, the
applicant is proposing to construct a non-commercial marina for private use by
registered guests with two pontoon boats, marina store and comfort station,
screened gazebo, event space, and an addition to the existing arts and crafts
room.
The applicant has had discussions with the United States Army Corps of Engineers
and has received verbal approval for the marina as the area is currently populated
with an invasive, non-native species (Phragmites) and is only inundated during
wind tide events, creating a non-functional wetland. Official approval for the marina
will also require approval by City of Virginia Beach Wetlands Board.
History of the site is as follows:
o The Conditional Use Permit for the 306-site campground was originally
approved by the City Council in 1971.
o A Floodplain Variance and a modification to the Conditional Use Permit
were approved in 2005 to allow for six one-room cabins, nine permanent
campers and associated fill material. The result was an overall reduction
of the number of recreational vehicle sites to 202.
o A modification to the Conditional Use Permit was approved in 2015 when
the campground was purchased by the current owner for the addition of an
indoor recreation building, a crafts and games building, a refuse enclosure,
a scout camping area, a beach monitor structure, and two
maintenance/storage buildings.
o A modification to the Conditional Use Permit was approved in 2019 to
remove gabion (wire) baskets that were placed along the north end of the
beach by a previous owner without permits, and to construct two
community piers, one at each end of the recreational beach.

• Considerations:
Since purchasing the campground in 2015, the applicant has significantly improved
and renovated the campground to make it one of the top-rated campgrounds in the
country. Due to increased popularity and distancing requirements associated with
the COVID-19 pandemic, the campground realized more building space was
needed to hold private events for campground visitors. The expanded arts and
crafts center will allow space for more guests to participate, and the proposed
event center will allow space for social events and dinners that are popular with
guests. The campground will not hold ticketed public events and guest attendance
will be limited by existing guest policies in place at the campground. Further details
pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the
attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On April 6, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this
item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
1. All conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the City

Background & Summary of Proposal
• To continue to grow the resort and offer additional amenities to guests,the applicant is proposing to construct a
non-commercial marina for private use by registered guests with two pontoon boats, marina store and comfort
station,screened gazebo,event space,and an addition to the existing arts and crafts room.
• The applicant has had discussions with the US Army Corps of Engineers and has received verbal approval for the
marina as the area is currently populated with an invasive, non-native species (Phragmites)and is only
inundated during wind tide events,creating a non-functional wetland. Official approval for the marina will also
require approval by City of Virginia Beach Wetlands Board.
• As recommended by Staff,the applicant submitted a preliminary stormwater management analysis to the
Development Services Center(DSC) outlining the proposed stormwater strategy for this site.The DSC has
reviewed the preliminary stormwater analysis and finds that the submitted stormwater strategy has the
potential to successfully comply with stormwater regulations for this site. More detailed information can be
found in the Stormwater Impacts section of this report.
• History of the site is as follows:
o The Conditional Use Permit for the 306-site campground was originally approved by the City Council in
1971.
o A Floodplain Variance and a modification to the Conditional Use Permit were approved in 2005 to allow
for six one-room cabins, nine permanent campers and associated fill material.The result was an overall
reduction of the number of recreational vehicle sites to 202.
o A modification to the Conditional Use Permit was approved in 2015 when the campground was
purchased by the current owner for the addition of an indoor recreation building, a crafts and games
building, a refuse enclosure,a scout camping area,a beach monitor structure,and two
maintenance/storage buildings.
o A modification to the Conditional Use Permit was approved in 2019 to remove gabion (wire) baskets
that were placed along the north end of the beach by a previous owner without permits, and to
construct two community piers,one at each end of the recreational beach.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff's view,the request for a modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit to construct a non-commercial
marina for use by registered guests, marina store and comfort station, screened gazebo, event space, and an addition to
the existing arts and crafts room is acceptable.
Since purchasing the campground in 2015,the applicant has significantly improved and renovated the campground to
make it one of the top-rated campgrounds in the country. Due to increased popularity and distancing requirements
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,the campground realized more building space was needed to hold private
events for campground visitors. The expanded arts and crafts center will allow space for more guests to participate, and
the proposed event center will allow space for social events and dinners that are popular with guests. The campground
will not hold ticketed public events and guest attendance will be limited by existing guest policies in place at the
campground.
Along with the Conditional Use Permit, the marina does require review and approval by City of Virginia Beach Wetlands
Board. A condition is recommended below that approval be obtained from the Wetlands Board and any other permitting
agencies prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Staff recommends approval of this requested modification, as conditioned below.

Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
The project site proposes two areas of a 1.47 acre development on a 94 acre parcel that serves as an RV park.The
northwest development consists of a proposed gazebo,a proposed basin, and new building.The eastern development
consists of a building addition and bio-retention BMP.The site consists of well draining,sandy-loamy soils and currently
drains from south east,where stormwater runoff sheetflows into North Landing River. Portions of the site that are
closest to the water fall within an AE flood zone.There will be no increase in stormwater runoff of the northwest
development as there exists a depression that consistently holds water.There will be an increase in stormwater runoff
of the eastern development, but the addition of a bioretention is intended to hold back the runoff at a lesser rate than
the predeveloped.The bioretention will accept runoff from the other areas
The proposed SWMFs will consist of a level 1 bioretention that will be constructed as per the VA DEQ clearinghouse
Spec. No. 9.The bioretention system will be used to satisfy water quantity and water quality compliance.The
bioretention will be used to satisfy water quantity requirements and partially treat for water quality,and offsite nutrient
credits will be used to satisfy the remaining water quality requirements.The preliminary grading plans propose matching
the grades of the site for the improvements while maintaining the minimum 2' elevation above the AE Flood zone of 3'.
The provided preliminary stormwater management design demonstrates conveyance of the runoff from the proposed
development for storms up to and including the 100-year event plus 1.5' of sea-level rise(SLR). The submitted
stormwater calculations show that the runoff from the site will not negatively impact the local or downstream areas.
Based on the information provided by Chesapeake Bay Site Solutions in the Preliminary Stormwater Analysis,the DSC
agrees that the proposed conceptual stormwater management strategy has the potential to successfully comply with
the stormwater requirements. Final design and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal. More detailed
project stormwater information is listed below.

Project Information
Total project area: 1.47 Acres
Drainage Area Pre-Development impervious area:4.20 Acres
Post-Development impervious area: 4.22 Acres
Does the analysis utilize the City of Virginia Beach Master Drainage Model: No
Does the analysis incorporate into design updated rainfall amounts (NOAA plus 20%)and account for 1.5'SLR: Yes
Stormwater Management Facility Design Information
Type of facility proposed: Level 1 Bioretention
Total storage volume provided in proposed stormwater management facilities: 3037 cubic feet
Description of outfall: Runoff from the site drains directly to North Landing River via sheet flow. Runoff that overflows
from the bioretention will drain toward North Landing River as well.
Downstream conveyance path:The site is directly connected to the downstream channel.
Stormwater Quality Compliance Design Information
Pounds of phosphorus removal per year(Ib/yr) required: 0.42 lb/yr
Method of treatment proposed:The required 0.42 lb/year will be treated partially by the bioretention facility and
purchase of nutrient credits.
Stormwater Quantity Compliance Design Information
Channel protection: Provided stormwater model demonstrates non-erosive velocities of stormwater discharge.
Flood protection:Attenuation of peak flow rates with no increase in flooding for 10-year storm in all evaluated
stormwater structures upstream and downstream.
100-Year storm evaluation: The increase in runoff from the development will not have a negative impact on adjacent
properties or the downstream channel.
Sea-Level Rise: Project evaluated, and stormwater calculations demonstrates proposed buildings will not be impacted
by stormwater during 100-year(including 1.5'SLR)storm event.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being located within the Rural Area. The Rural Area lies
south of Indian River Road from North Landing Road to Muddy Creek and Back Bay and extends to the North Carolina
border.The physical character of this area is low, flat land with wide floodplains and wind driven tides. Within this area
is a significant presence of working farms,farm related businesses, and limited non-residential areas along with
scattered housing sites. The Comprehensive Plan's Rural Preservation Plan policies recognize this rural character,
seeking to preserve and promote continued agricultural production and its open space and scenic beauty while
providing reasonable rural development opportunities that will help stabilize and reinforce the rural way of life in
southern Virginia Beach.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located within the Southern Rivers watershed. As the property is located next to the North Landing River, a
50-foot buffer is required. While the proposed piers are located in the 50-foot buffer, they meet the requirements of the
Southern Rivers Watershed Management Ordinance as a water dependent structure. Approximately 70 acres of the
North Landing Beach RV Resort & Cottages—Virginia Beach, LLC
Agenda Item 16
Page 7
property is classified as Floodplains Subject to Special Restrictions.While the proposed community piers are proposed
within the Special Flood Hazard Area,they are part of a larger shoreline stabilization project and,therefore, do not
require a variance.Several areas on site exist as "created floodplain" due to mitigation requirements attached to the
2005 modification to the Conditional Use Permit approval.

Item # 16
North Landing Beach RV Resort& Cottages —Virginia Beach, LLC [Applicant & Property
Owner]
Modification of Conditions
161 Princess Anne Road
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next application is application number 16; North Landing Beach RV
Resort and Cottages, Virginia Beach, LLC for Modification of Conditions for Recreational
Campgrounds. Is there a representative for this item?
Madam Clerk: Mr.Vice-Chair,there is, it's a virtual -- Robert Simon. Mr. Simon, if you would wait
two to three seconds and then begin your comments.
Mr. Simon: Good afternoon, members of the Commission. Robert Simon, here to represent the
North Landing Beach Campground, Resort and Campground. I'd like to say thank you to the staff
for working with us on this and we are in agreement with the 14 conditions that they have
recommended, and we appreciate being put on the Consent Agenda. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Thanks. Is there any opposition for this item to be on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, we've asked Mr. Horsley to read this into the record.
Mr. Horsley: Thank you,Jack.The North Landing Beach RV and Resort and Cottages have done
an outstanding job of renovating that campground since purchasing it in 2014. I think their original
camp brand was established back in the early 70s, but it was nothing like what's there now. It's
become one of the top-rated campgrounds in the country now also. But due to the popularity of
this campground,they've decided to make some improvements. Such being, they want to modify
the conditions; they want to put in a non-commercial marina to be used by their guests only, a
marina store, comfort stations, screen, gazebo, event space and an addition to the existing arts
and crafts room is what their goal is, to do that. The staff has looked over all these requests and
they deem them worthy, and the conditions from the 2019 use permit will all be deleted, and the
14 new conditions will be established in the new modifications. So, there were no oppositions to
this request, so we decided to go ahead and put it on the Consent Agenda. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
1
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay.So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr.Weiner: We have a motion by Mr.Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr.Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach,Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr.Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr.Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
2
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict.Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have motion by Mr.Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein.You're ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr.Alcaraz: Aye.

(R-5D Residential Duplex District to R-7.5 Residential District) for the
property located at 206 Bob Lane (GPIN 2407751034). COUNCIL DISTRICT—
BEACH
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
The City is requesting to rezone this property from R-5D Residential Duplex District
to R-7.5 Residential District. The City-owned property was developed with a
residential duplex. The duplex was demolished, and the site is currently vacant.
The property was acquired as part of the City's acquisition program on February
3, 2014. The City Council approved the sale of the lot to the adjacent property
owners. Each half of this lot will be sold and incorporated into the adjacent
properties existing lots. The property is being rezoned to prevent dual zoning on
the newly created lots.
• Considerations:
Resubdividing this vacant property to be incorporated into the two adjacent
property's owners lots will ultimately eliminate density within the APZ-1 and will
improve the neighborhood by having the existing landowners maintain the vacant
property. This request is recommended for approval. Further details pertaining to
the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff
Report. There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021 , the Planning Commission placed this application on the

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The City is requesting to rezone this property from R-5D Residential Duplex District to R-7.5 Residential District.This
City-owned property is currently vacant and is located in the Oceana Gardens West neighborhood.
• The property was rezoned from R-6(now R-7.5)to R-8(now R-5D) in 1978.
• The property was acquired on February 3,2014 as part of the City's acquisition program to prevent further
development of incompatible uses in the APZ-1 Accident Potential Zone surrounding NAS Oceana.At the time of the
acquisition,the property was developed with a residential duplex.The duplex has since been demolished.
• The City Council has approved sale of the lot to the adjacent property owners. Each half of this lot will be sold to
each adjacent property owner, located at 200 and 208 Bob Lane,to be incorporated into their existing lots.The
property will be resubdivided to eliminate the interior lot lines and is being rezoned to prevent dual zoning on the

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request to rezone this property from R-5D Residential Duplex District to R-7.5 Residential District, in Staffs Opinion,
is acceptable.
For properties such as this within the higher noise zones and within or in close proximity to an Accidental Potential Zone,
the ultimate goal is to reduce density and/or to allow compatible uses that meet the objectives of the APZ-1/CZ Master
Plan.The APZ-1/CZ Master Plan is an adopted component of the Comprehensive Plan that provides guidance for
development in the Accident Potential and Clear Zones surrounding NAS Oceana. Resubdividing this vacant property to
be incorporated into the two adjacent property owners' lots will ultimately eliminate density within the APZ-1 and will
improve the neighborhood by having the existing landowners maintain the vacant property.
In Staff's opinion,this request is reasonable and based on the considerations noted above, Staff recommends approval
of this request.
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 9
Page 2
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area; however,the site is also located
within the Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZ-1) and guidance regarding appropriate future land use for this property is
found in the APZ-1/CZ Master Plan, Sub-Area B. The general planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on creating
and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability; protecting and enhancing open spaces and
places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a transportation system that provides
connectivity and mobility. The goals of the APZ-1/CZ Master Plan for this site is to preserve existing stable
neighborhoods within the APZ-1, remove all non-compatible development within the Clear Zone, as voluntary
opportunities are made available, reinforce the unique physical character of the existing stable residential areas and
always respect and reinforce the inherent character of the built and natural environments to avoid the fragmentation of
remaining dwellings.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
resources on this property.
Traffic Impacts
According to Traffic Engineering Staff, there will be no change to traffic generation as a result of this rezoning because
there is no house now on the property and there will be no additional trips generated by the sale of this property to the
adjacent landowners who will absorb this property into their lots.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
The site is currently connected to City Water. There is an existing 6-inch City water main along Bob Lane.
Sewer
The site is currently connected to City sanitary sewer services.There is an existing 8-inch City sanitary sewer gravity main
along Bob Lane.

Item 9
City of Virginia Beach [Applicant & Property Owner]
Rezoning (R-5D Residential Duplex to R-7.5 Residential)
206 Bob Lane
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Ms. Oliver. The next item on the agenda is Agenda Item Number 9, City of
Virginia Beach for a Rezoning from R-5D Residential Duplex to R-7.5 Residential. Is there a
representative for this item?
Mr. Weiner: The representative?
Madam Clerk: I apologize, Mr. Chairman, we do have a speaker Jennifer Dew. Ms. Dew, if you
will wait two to three seconds and then start your comments.
Ms. Dew: Good afternoon everyone. My name is Jennifer Dew, Right of Way Agent with the
Public Works Real Estate Office and I am the representative for the City's application for the
rezoning of 206 Bob Lane, Agenda Item Number 9. The City is requesting to rezone the property
from R-5D Residential Duplex to R-7.5 Residential. This City owned property is currently vacant
and is located in the Oceana Gardens West neighborhood. The property was acquired on
February 3, 2014 as part of the City's acquisition program to prevent further development of
incompatible uses in the APZ-1 accident potential zone surrounding NAS Oceana.
At the time of the acquisition, the property was developed with a residential duplex that has since
been demolished. City Council has approved sale of the lot to the adjacent property owners. Each
half of this lot will be sold to each adjacent property owner located at 200 and 208 Bob Lane to
be incorporated into their existing lots. The property will be re-subdivided to eliminate the interior
lot lines and is being rezoned to prevent dual zoning on the newly created lots. Under current City
Policy the City pays to perform the re-subdivision to vacate the interior lot lines. The property will
be sold with the deed restriction that prevents any new dwelling from being constructed. The
owners could build a fence, a pool, a shed or a garage on the property. They could also rebuild
their home as long as they comply with the site plan requirements. Staff is recommending
approval of this request. I will stand by for any questions.
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for the item to be placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, we'll move to the next agenda item.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
1
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
2
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have motion by Mr. Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein. You're ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Aye.

Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Madam Clerk: By recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against, Agenda Items 2, 3, 4, 5 9, 10,
11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 have been recommended for approval by consent. Agenda Item Number
18, 23, 26 and 28 have with a recorded vote of eight in favor, zero against and one abstention for

the items that we will hear. Madam Clerk will take care of that, please.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: ROBIN GAUTHIER, CEO ON BEHALF OF SAMARITAN HOUSE, INC.
[Applicant] CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF RICHMOND VIRGINIA, EPISCOPAL
DIOCESE OF SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA [Property Owners] Conditional
Use Permit (Group Home) for the property located at 1593 Lynnhaven
Parkway (GPIN 1485484285). COUNCIL DISTRICT — CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home within the
Green Run neighborhood. As Green Run is zoned PD-H1 , per Section 1110 (b)
of the Zoning Ordinance, modifications to the PD-H1 land use plan are required to
be considered similarly to a zoning change or Conditional Use Permit, and as such,
the applicant is requesting a conditional use within the PD-H1 District.
The site is currently developed with a church. A 1 .90-acre portion of the site will be
conveyed to the Samaritan House, Inc. for the proposes of a Group Home for up
to eight youths who have been victimized. Specifically, the request consists of a
new 5,862 square foot, two-story dwelling with an exterior of fiber cement panel
vertical siding, asphalt roof shingles, vinyl windows, and fiberglass doors.
The Group Home will provide a safe and secure home for these children between
the ages of 9 years old to 17 years old. The Group Home will operate 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Three to four staff members will rotate during normal
business hours with one to two staff members on site at any given time, with one
staff member staying overnight.
• Considerations:
The Group Home will provide a much needed and valuable service to the
community. The proposed structure is compatible with the surrounding residential
character and institutional uses, such as a private school to the north. In Staff's
view, and the Planning Commission concurs, the Group Home will not change the
character of the neighborhood and will not adversely affect the surrounding
properties. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Two letters of support were received by Staff, one from the adjacent church and
one from the Green Run Homeowners' Association. The owners of the Montessori
School to the north of the site spoke in opposition at the Planning Commission
Robin Gauthier, CEO on behalf of the Samaritan House, Inc.
Page 2 of 3
public hearing. The concerns noted that the operation of the Group Home will result
in a dangerous situation for their students and staff. This in turn would negatively
impact enrollment. While not a condition of approval recommended by the
Planning Commission, in an attempt to address the oppositions' concerns, the
applicant committed to installing a six-foot tall solid privacy fence along the
property line shared with the school which is shown on the conceptual layout and
will be required to be installed.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 9-0.
1. When the site is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance within the
submitted site layout exhibit entitled, "CONCEPTUAL SITE LAYOUT PLAN —
THE HALLOW SAMARITAN HOUSE", prepared by Draper Aden Associates,
dated 12/22/2020, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council
and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community Development.
2. The exterior of the proposed building shall substantially adhere in appearance,
size and materials to the submitted elevations entitled "THE HALLOWS
DEVELOPED FOR THE SAMARITAN HOUSE", prepared by Cox Kliewer &
Company, P.C., dated January 2021 , which has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community
Development.
3. A Landscape Plan shall be submitted and approved by the Development
Services Center Landscape Architect prior to the final site plan approval.
4. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the
Department of Planning & Community Development/Permits and Inspections
Division. The applicant shall secure a Certificate of Occupancy from the
Building Official prior to the occupancy of the Group Home.
5. The applicant shall not exceed the occupancy load set by the Building Official's
Office for this Group Home.
6. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat with the City of Virginia
Beach Department of Planning & Community Development. Said plat shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning & Community
Development, and plat shall be recorded with the City of Virginia Beach Circuit
Court Clerk's Office within 365 days from the date of the City Council action.

Background & Summary of Proposal

zoned parcel, located within the Green Run Land Use Plan. Per Section 1110 (b) of the Zoning Ordinance,
modifications to the land use plan by City Council shall be in the manner of a zoning change or Conditional Use
Permit. Based on this,the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home, as it is a conditional
use within the PD-H1 District.
• The site is currently developed with a church. The church is not utilizing the entire site so the Samaritan House, Inc.
executed a purchase agreement with the church to purchase a 1.90-acre portion of the site. The property will be
subdivided to create two lots with the Group Home being constructed on one of the newly created lots.
• The applicant is proposing to build a 5,862 square foot,two-story dwelling with fiber cement panel vertical siding,

recreation room, kitchen, storage area, service hall, pantry, living room, and an ADA compatible bedroom and
bathroom.
• The second floor will consist of eight standard bedrooms,four bathrooms, laundry and linen room, and
housekeeping storage.
• The Group Home will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.There will be three to four staff members rotating
during normal business hours. According to the applicant,there will only be one to two staff members on site at any

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home, in Staff's Opinion, is acceptable.The applicant has
requested to care for youth who have been victimized. The Group Home will provide a much needed and valuable
service to the community.The scale and design of the proposed structure is compatible with surrounding residential and
institutional uses.Staff believes that this use will not change the character of the neighborhood and will not adversely
affect the surrounding properties.
While the City Zoning Ordinance does not specify a minimum number of parking spaces for a Group Home, in Staff's
opinion,the four parking spaces proposed for this use will adequately accommodate the employees and visitors, as the
residents will not have vehicles on site. According to Traffic Engineering Staff,there is no trip generation data available
for a Group Home.Traffic Engineering anticipates that this eight-bedroom home will generate less traffic than a typical
PD-H1 residential land use.
According to Permits and Inspections Staff,this Group Home meets the criteria to be classified under the Residential
Building Code. In order to utilize this portion of the Code,the facility must be limited to no more than eight residents
and one overnight resident counselor. Condition 5 is recommended to ensure that the occupancy load will not exceed
what is deemed appropriate by Permits and Inspections.
Based on these considerations stated above,Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below.

either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability,and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.

Richmond Virginia, Episcopal Diocese of Southeastern Virginia [Property Owners]
Conditional Use Permit (Group Home)
1593 Lynnhaven Parkway
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Next item is Item number 7.
Madam Clerk: Agenda Item Number 7, Robin Gauthier, an application for a Conditional Use
Permit for a Group Home on property located at 1593 Lynnhaven Parkway located in the
Centerville District. I believe that we have the applicants' representative as a virtual speaker. I'm
calling Joe Buschi. If you would wait two to three seconds and then begin your comments.
Mr. Buschi: I was just available to address any questions that the Planning Commission may
have. I wasn't signed up to speak on behalf of this application.
Mr. Weiner: Hold on one second, sir. One second, please. That was the applicants'
representative?
Madam Clerk: Yeah. Let's call Tom Snyder, Thomas Snyder, who is also virtual, and Mr. Snyder,
if you would wait two to three seconds.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. We thought you were virtual.
Mr. Snyder: I am.
Mr. Weiner: Part of a hologram, right?
Mr. Snyder: How are you? My name is Tom Snyder. I'm a local attorney in Virginia Beach. I'm
also a member of the Board of Directors of Samaritan House, who is the applicant for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home on approximately two-acre parcel of land off of
Lynnhaven Parkway. My client is going to develop a group home for people who are subject to
human trafficking,to be servicing those people here in Virginia Beach. Samaritan House, as some
of you may know, also provides other kinds of services for people who are subject to domestic
violence and as a part of its mission,this mission creep, so to speak, occurred and the opportunity
was provided to us to provide this additional service.
Just so you know,this is a home for children who are subject to human trafficking and have unique
problems. It's a much more intensive issue to deal with and that requires a specialized facility.
This, there is, to our knowledge, there is only one group home which has been in the process of
being developed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and this will probably be the second and the
1
first to maybe become the first which will actually become operational. We have located the
property, the building on the property in a manner that we think will allow for potential expansion
of this facility as the need potentially grows.The property we are buying from the adjoining church,
which is a unique church because it's owned by both the Catholic Church and the Episcopal
Church, and both of them have enthusiastically supported the mission of what we are trying to
accomplish and recognize the need for it in the Commonwealth.
I do want you to see, if you look at the site plan which is on your e screen in front of me. You'll
see that we have recently discovered the adjoining property owner, which is a Montessori School
has raised some concerns. There are a couple of things you should notice about that. Number
one,the property line for the property that we are purchasing actually is on the Montessori School
property and has actually encroached on the property owned by the church, and that's about
3,500 square feet. But what we have done is, you'll see that there's actually a fence and
landscaping line that we have proposed that would provide both security and a screening from
the Montessori school. And so, we tried to address that issue proactively and put that into our
application, I think just yesterday.
So, I have Ms. Robin Gauthier here with me as well. She's the Executive Director of Samaritan
House. She is extremely knowledgeable about this entire project. If there would be any questions
that you would have concerning what we are going to be doing, she would be probably a better
person than myself. I will tell you this, most of the people who are going to be occupying this
facility; I think there's seven or eight bedrooms, it's about 5000 square feet, they are probably
almost all going to be young girls between the ages of something like 14 and 17 years of age.
There are on staff people 24/7 that will be there. Robin can give you really the nuts and bolts of
what the program would entail, and what the efforts are or what would be under what we would
be trying to do to help these people to be able to become functioning members of society, so to
speak, and to overcome whatever, most of them will have had a very serious history in terms of
to try to deal with. So, I know there's 3 minutes and I don't want to overspend my time.
Mr. Snyder: Pardon me?
Mr. Weiner: You get 10.
Mr. Snyder: Oh, I get 10. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, I'm sitting here thinking I only have 3 minutes.
I'm waiting for some, for something to tell me.
Mr.Weiner: But I will tell you.Well,there is somebody, I believe there's one speaker in opposition.
Mr. Snyder: Yes.
Mr. Weiner: So, let them talk. And then let's see what they have to say and then if you want to
come back up to address anything that you have to say, we will let you come back up. Alright,
thank you.

Mr. Snyder: Thank you.
Mr. Inman: How about Robin first?
Mr. Weiner: Do you want to, hold on one second. Do we want to?
Mr. Inman: Could we hear from the Executive Director first, about the details of the program?
Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Sure, okay. Okay, sure. Welcome.
Ms. Gauthier: Good afternoon. Thanks for having me.
Mr. Weiner: Can you state your name for the record.
Ms. Gauthier: Robin Gauthier, Executive Director of Samaritan House. The program will actually
serve five to eight youth ages 9 to 17. And so, we don't know if we'll have eight beds filled all the
time, but there's the potential to have eight youth to be served. And so, you know, the services
are going to be educational services, trauma informed counseling, case management, mental
health, substance abuse; anything that's needed for these girls. We've been rescuing victims of
human trafficking since 2016. In the Hampton Roads Human Trafficking Task Force, we were a
major part in bringing those funds to the Hampton Roads area. And so, what we did not realize in
2016, is we'd be finding so many youth, many of them in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake,
Hampton, Newport News in our region.
So unfortunately, because there's no facility for youth, oftentimes the law enforcement or
Homeland Security or FBI will have to bring them to juvenile detention, so at least they will have
a safe place to stay away from the trafficking and away from the streets. But we know what they
really need is a residential home like this with medical facilities, where they can get all the services
they need. There is a runaway youth shelter that's available, but it's a 90-day program, and there's
really not the services that they need. And so, at Samaritan House, we've seen about 18 kids this
year that we've been working with, as case managing them, but they are either at home in juvenile
detention in another type of group home or they were in foster care. So, we really need a facility
like this for our region and for our task force, because we're continuing to find children that need
to be rescued in a lot of hotel, motels in this area where we're finding them. And being that we're
a resort area we're finding a lot of youth that are trafficked.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, any questions? No? Okay, thank you, ma'am.
Madam Clerk: Chairman Weiner, we have a speaker signed up. They're supposed to be virtual,
however they have not signed on so I'm going to call them to see if they showed up in person.
Rolando and Judith Timm.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome ma'am. Please state your name for the record.

Ms. Timm: Judith Timm. The proposed facility, Samaritan House to be built next door to
Courthouse Montessori School is a house that is going to house a group of young students 9
through 17 was what I was given on the telephone. These girls have been traumatically sexually
abused by sex traffickers. Although I appreciate the work that Samaritan House is planning to do
for these girls, I'm confident that that particular type of group home, being next door to a school
is extremely detrimental to our business and the school situation. We have been in operation for
27 years at this location. We cater to the military, to medical personnel and to the general public.
Our school is open daily from 6am to 6pm to accommodate these people. Our children range in
age from 16 months old through 12 years old. They're at a very impressionable, vulnerable and
inquisitive age; the dangers associated with this type of group home right next to Courthouse
Montessori School would cause concern to our parents for their children and for us for our
students. As a result, we would begin to lose families. Our school would end up not being
available. I'm responsible for keeping these children safe, and I don't feel comfortable with this
group home being built close to our school, and I'm certain the parents would share this concern.
I have not mentioned it to them. We are strongly opposed to this group home being built beside
our school, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my concerns.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ma'am, hold on second, do you have a question? Okay.
Mr.Timm: My name is Rolando Timm. I came originally from Chile 58 years ago. One of my goals
with my wife was to participate in the education of children. My wife has several degrees in
Montessori, and it's a very unusual and very excellent system. We have generated literally
thousands of children that have come through our school, that when they go into the real world
do a positive job, in their personal morality and their personal standards. Now, I realize that there's
a need for a place like the Samaritan House, but to place it right in the middle of a family-oriented
place with a school right next to it poses all kinds of problems. I know there can be all kinds of
assurance that there will be people involved; I'm sure that the people associated with this
traumatized young people are not going to just say bye and let them go by. And the exposure that
we are being put into is the same exposure, like somebody will tell you you're safe in your house
but if you call 911, you may be put on hold for 15 minutes.
So,this is the sort of thing that is unpredictable,and we feel very upset about having this because
our children in a playground right next to this place, they hear all kinds of things that you and I
and other people cannot prevent from happening. So, my personal position, as much as I like to
support all kinds of charities and other many other good works for young people, I would not want
to see that next to us. What is going to probably happen if it does, I'm going to be forced to sell
the building and move to another location somewhere,which at this point. I don't know where that
would be. And we will be probably severely penalized in the selling of the property because of the
existence of this house right next door. Thank you very much. I appreciate your concern.
Mr. Weiner: And hold on one second, Sir. Ms. Oliver has a question for you.
4
Ms. Oliver: Sir, as I appreciate your perspective on this, I'm just curious as to what impact that
you are anticipating from these young girls on to the school. What do you perceive happening?
Mr. Timm: Well, unfortunately it's not the young girls I'm concerned about; it's the girls that these
girls were associated with. We have in this country a horrific problem in that regard; it will not have
a handle of it. The trafficking and young woman's or whatnot is well known and yet, we haven't
controlled it. We don't have control over it. And so, the people associated with these girls in the
past probably never want to just sit back and let it go by, they're going to search for it, and we
have very little ways to defend ourselves for it.
Ms. Oliver: So, if I understand you correctly, then what you are concerned about is that the sex
traffickers coming to find the girls to get them back, and then possibly, there's your school.
Mr. Timm: We're dealing in an unknown. Nobody can give me any assurance, oh, that will never
happen. No, if you watch TV frequently enough, you'll see that horrific things like that can happen
and the police and the law enforcement agencies have very little power because you have to wait
for something to happen before they can do anything about it. And then the rest of the story, you
know what will take place.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any other questions? Thank you. Thank you.
Mr. Timm: Thank you very much. I want you to know that my wife and I in 27 years have put a
tremendous amount of effort into having the very best type of school for our young children. Thank
you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you very much, sir. We do appreciate it. Thank you.
Madam Clerk: There are no more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Do you want to come back up and address anything, please?
Ms. Gauthier: So, I do understand the fear of the unknown, and I talked to Mrs. Timm for quite
some time. I didn't know they were in opposition until yesterday; it was the first time I heard from
them. I thought they were calling because they wanted to support it actually. I do understand the
fear of the unknown, but to put it in perspective, these girls are so replaceable so quickly that
traffickers don't go after them. It's not personal; they are a commodity to them. They sell them
and they go get ten more. It's not like in domestic violence where they want that specific person
or that specific child because it's theirs, and they want ownership. In human trafficking, women
and children are a commodity; they're sold. When you go into a massage parlor and you arrest a
bunch of women in a massage parlor, there's ten more coming in on an airplane.
5
So, traffickers don't want these specific children. It's not personal to them; they're a piece of
property. So, I think it's little irrational to think these traffickers are going to be coming to the house
after these girls and disturbing the children at the school, or that these children that we have,they
are children,they're minors, are going to be disturbing the children. I was hoping Marchelle would
put up the picture. We added a privacy fence from the school looking over to the property. You
can't even see the facility. You can't even see the children, and our fence is going to be much
higher than theirs and it would divide the whole property line because who knows what else could
be built in that property in the future, but there would be a privacy fence the whole way down. So,
you couldn't even see one facility to the next. Those children couldn't even see our children. Our
children couldn't see their children.
The facility will have security. There will be beeps on the doors. People can't come in without
being beeped in. There will be a foyer where people have to be beeped in. So, I understand the
concern, though I want to make sure it's more realistic. There's not going to be men out there or
traffickers out there going after these girls. With all 18 children that we have served this year, no
one has ever been taken back or pulled back and they weren't even in a secured facility. They
were either in foster care or in their home or places like that. I do understand the fear of what
someone thinks because it's a very scary thing. But law enforcement, I just have to say law
enforcement, Homeland Security, FBI, they do a great job. And they are at our beck and call, in
minutes. They bring someone to Samaritan House who's an adult and if we need them, we do
safety planning, and they're in the community and in homes. And they are at our beck and call
because we're helping them with a victim that they rescued, and they want that victim to help
prosecute in a case against a trafficker. So, they're very close by.
So, I just don't see the fear as deeply as they do. And I understand it's their school and their
property and their children, they're trying to protect them. I told them; we would do everything we
could to work with them. So, we added that privacy fence. Could we move the property over to
the left a little further towards the church, because the church doesn't mind at all? They wanted
to do this project; they want to give back to the community. So, could we move it over to the other
side?Absolutely, we want to be good neighbors, we know we're going to be neighbors for a long
time. So, whatever we can do to help accommodate with trees and shrubbery and fences and
moving of the building, it's going to be costly, but it's not so costly that we can't afford to do that
in the project. So, could we put the building closer to the other side?Absolutely, if that would help
assuage their fear, we're willing to do that.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, thank you, ma'am. Any questions? Yep. George?
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Ms. Gauthier, how many other safe havens or group homes do you have
currently now?
Ms. Gauthier: We have no group homes for children. That's why it's a gap. We have 14 homes
for adults. So, if it's a child, I think an 18-year-old is still a child. 18 and over, they can come into
any of our 14 safe shelters that we have in communities. But if they find a minor under the age of
18, you have to be in a licensed facility, and this will have oversight by Department of Behavioral
6
Health. It'll have a licensing involved and staff will be 24/7,there will never be anyone there without
a staff member. So, they have to be there 24/7.
Mr. Alcaraz: And you've never had any problems before with any of those safe havens?
Ms. Gauthier: No.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: Will the children that you'll be aiding go to school, or will they be there all day?
Ms. Gauthier: Some will go to public school, and some will be homeschooled. It really depends
on the situation and how deeply they're affected and what their needs are. So, some children who
have not been in this situation for a long time and don't have the deeper level of trauma might just
go to school and be fine. Others may need to be homeschooled, and so we'll have a classroom
there and we have teachers and people to help with homework and things like that. So, we are
going either direction, and that has to be approved by your license.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Whitney? Mr. Graham?Turn your mic on, thank you.
Mr. Graham: Sorry about that. So, I was a little confused, because at one point I thought staff
said that the building couldn't be shifted to the south because maybe it was sewer/
Ms. Gauthier: It is going to be more costly to shift it, because they're going to have to tie into
sewer and water further away from the building. But like I told Mrs. Timm yesterday, if that would
make her feel more secure to have the building further over. I mean, I have our engineer on call
right now, he can answer those questions. It can be shifted; it's just going to be costly.
Mr. Graham: Was that because there's not enough fall with the sewer? Or is it because there's
more ..
Ms. Gauthier: It's further away.
Mr. Graham: Because it's further away, so it's just the distancing. So, it's just additional pipe.
Okay, so that's not as costly as if there wasn't enough depth or fall.
Ms. Gauthier: Correct. Yeah, and the way the building is positioned too I think, well, I'm not sure.
I would have to let the engineer speak. He did it in a way --they positioned the site plan in a way
to make it easy for building.
Mr. Graham: Okay, but you could move it to the south a little bit.
7
Ms. Gauthier: Absolutely, and I told Mrs. Timm that we would work with her. If that would make
them feel better and feel safer, we would do that.
Mr. Graham: Is there any security? I understand from what you're saying that it's not personal.
These people that do the sex trafficking or trafficking of humans, they just go get new ones. I
guess there's an endless supply.
Ms. Gauthier: Unfortunately. Yeah, unfortunately that's true.
Mr. Graham: So, but do you have any security, will you have to have any kind of security there?
Ms. Gauthier: We don't feel like a security guard is necessary because the security guards aren't
armed. They really can't do much anyway. I mean, calling 911 is probably the best way to deal
with it. I guess it's a possibility someone could come to the house, but we don't anticipate that
being an issue. And we have so many staff going in and out and case managers and counselors
and people that are there and like Homeland Security, they come several days a week to our
office because they're interviewing clients,and they're there all the time.And they're very involved
with the case generally; either the perpetrator is in jail, or the perpetrator is on their radar, and
they're doing an investigation. So, when it comes to a minor being victimized, usually the
perpetrators in jail by the time they get rescued and they come to us. So that's another reason
why see less of a fear, you know.
Mr. Graham: If somebody is coming back, yeah.
Ms. Gauthier: Yeah, typically they're in jail. And if you've seen all the prosecutions we've gotten
in the last couple of years,since the task force has started,we've gotten many prosecutions where
people have gotten 15, 20, even 40 years prison time for the trafficking.
Mr. Graham: Gotcha. So where will the kids, the girls, where will they hang out outside? Is there
going to be an area where they can hang out?
Robin Gauthier: Yeah, with our licensing guidelines, we have to have a recreation room inside,
so we have a recreation room inside. And then in the back we have a porch, that's going to be
like a screened in sunroom type area. I suppose they'll go outside in the backyard sometimes,
but that's not typically going to be part of their day-to-day routine. We will take them on field trips;
they're not going to be locked up. They're not the criminals here, they're the victims. So, they're
not going to be locked up. We're not going to chase kids down and wrangle them. It's a voluntary
program, if they want to be there, they're welcome to stay there. We want to provide services. If
they don't want to be there, they can leave.
Mr. Graham: So, if they want to leave, they can leave?
Ms. Gauthier: They can leave. We're not chasing kids down. And if they're in a situation where
there's juvenile justice, then they're going to be in juvenile detention. So, if there's any criminal
8
activity or things regarding them being a runaway or things like that, that's usually how they end
up in juvenile detention. So, these are the kids that really need to be rescued. They need a place
to go temporarily until Child Protective Services figures out what they're going to do with them or
if they're going to return to family or how the situation is going to resolve itself. Really depends
on each case. Each case is so very different.
Mr. Graham: Yeah. Okay, alright. Thank you very much.
Ms. Gauthier: Thank you for your question.
Mr. Wall: I've got just a couple. So, you mentioned plane, Is English a second language for some
of them?
Ms. Gauthier: Most of the sex trafficking that's happening in this area is domestic, only 5% of our
cases have been foreign nationals.
Mr. Wall: Okay. I'm looking at the site. It's kind of an interesting site because there's a trail, the
planned fence is only going to be on one side. Is that correct?
Ms. Gauthier: Well, we added that to totally block us from the school, we added that high privacy
fence.That's what I was hoping Marchelle would show the picture of what it looks like for a person.
They'll only see the very tip of the school;they won't see anything on the property and the children
can't see the children. It's a six-foot-high privacy fence along the whole property from the very
end.
Mr. Wall: Because it looks like there's a paved trail behind the property that parallels the creek in
the back. I'm not sure what the traffic is.
Ms. Gauthier: Yeah, I don't know.
Mr. Wall: Traffic is not the right word, but the pedestrian access back there that goes to the
community pool. It connects to the community pool. So, there's certainly public access on the
backside. I'm not sure what?
Ms. Gauthier: I thought that it was a creek back there.
Mr. Wall: There's a creek but you're just looking at the aerial and even on the survey, it shows a
paved trail on the backside.
Ms. Gauthier: Well, we have no problems putting up a fence there either. If that will make people
feel better, we're happy to put up a fence.
Mr. Wall: Right, and that's not my point. My point is that the no matter what, there's going to be
public access. There's public access right now and there's going to be pedestrians. I'm just
9
pointing that out and I'm sure that the school already is aware of the access back there. There is
probably heavier than any kind of activity that's going to be around the school. What about the
entrance? Have you talked to the engineer about the location of your driveway?You know, maybe
the building might be centered in the property but possibly the entrance on the other side towards
the church as opposed to towards the school. Is that a possibility that you've considered?
Ms. Gauthier: Yeah, Can they open his mic so that he can answer that? He's on? Joe Buschi?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Buschi, if you would wait two to three seconds and then begin your comments.
Mr. Buschi: Okay, yes, that is a possibility. We can put the parking lot on the other side of the
building. We don't see any problem with that. Typically, when you're locating a parking lot, you
want to put it on the side of the building where you're not approaching the building. But there's no
problem with doing it on the other side as well.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Mr. Buschi, can the building shift 25 feet to the south? Let's say you kept the parking
on the same side of the building, could you shift the building to the south 25 feet and shift the
driveway to the south 25 feet creating a larger buffer between the Montessori School and this
project, this building?
Mr. Buschi: Yes, we can do that. There's no issue with doing that, like Robin had pointed out, it's
just going to be some additional sanitary sewer because where we have to tie in the existing
sanitary sewer manhole is near where the property line is being proposed on the north end of the
property. But it shouldn't be a problem being able to run the sanitary the additional length to get
to that point.
Mr. Graham: There's enough room. The depth is okay? The depth? Is he gone?
Mr. Buschi: We still have to confirm the depth and we'll do that when we get into the actual design.
So, we'll have to confirm that it is deep enough. That hasn't been done yet.
Mr. Graham: Alright, thank you.
Mr. Snyder: Mr. Graham? Only point that I would like to make?
Mr. Weiner: Come up to the microphone, please sir.
Mr. Snyder: Excuse me. Yeah, the only point that I would like to say is that when you do shift the
building, and if you just move it over 25 feet. I mean, there is one point almost, well, it's actually
a little bit less than two acres now, because the Montessori School has actually encroached on
10
the property that we're buying by 3,500 square feet. And so, as a result of that, We are looking
for this to potentially be other uses there. And so, this was not I mean, we are starting off with a
5000 square foot facility and it could be a larger facility at some point in time in the future. So, we
do want to preserve as much flexibility as possible for potential further utilization of the property.
That's all.
Mr. Graham: No problem. Thank you, sir. I was just thinking of trying to get the Montessori School
comfortable as well.
Ms. Gauthier: Yeah, I mean, we could put administrative offices back there, you know, in the
future there may not be more client services, the future maybe administrative offices back there.
So, we even have more oversight. So, we could potentially have three buildings there. But if we
center that and put it in a location that we can't build other buildings, that would restrict us from
being able to use the full 1.9 acres. So
Mr. Weiner: Thank you ma'am. Thank you. Alright, any more speakers?
Madam Clerk: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, I'm sorry. We have a procedure, and we all had our time to talk. Okay. Mrs.
Klein?Well, hold on a second, Mr. Inman over here wants to start off here if you don't mind. Okay.
We're going to close this out and open up to us for discussion. Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Thank you, Mr.Weiner. I just want to say I come to this with an interesting perspective,
having served 30 years on the Board of Seton Youth Shelters, which is the facility I think Robin
was referring to probably, that has some experience with sex trafficking situations. Seton Youth
Shelters for those of you don't know, is a home for runaway and throw away children. So, I'm
familiar with the fact that we have in that facility have housed girls that have been subject to sex
trafficking. Not only that, we have two shelters: one's a boy's shelter, one's a girl shelter.
So, the history of this is really, I think, very telling in terms of how this goes. When Seton Youth
Shelters was started,we had just girls and we were on a site of a church,the St. Nicholas Catholic
Church in Kings Grant. And frankly, that went very well. We didn't have any trouble with the
neighbors or neighborhood or children going to Sunday school being interfered with by our
residents. Again, we are a licensed facility. We all have staff there 24/7. And then came a time
when we wanted to allowed the first shelter established for girls. The second shelter was
established in the late 90s for boys, and we were blessed by having a site at the St. Aidans
Episcopal Church that had offered us a site similar to this situation. It was a parcel on their church
site, which they really weren't using, didn't have any plans for and they allowed us to build a
shelter there, on the corner of Kings Grant road and Edinburgh Drive. It's there now.
Due to objections from neighbors, I was persuaded at that time by a city council person to please
move the girls to that new shelter, because that might alleviate the concerns of the neighbors
about having such a shelter close to them. We did that. And the interesting thing was a lot of the
11
people that were objecting, when they were told that there was a boy's shelter a half a mile up
the road, they had no idea; never heard anything bad about that. So, we now have been there
since 1998. And truly of course, in recent years, the sex trafficking problem has grown and we
didn't have that much sex trafficking victims in our facility until maybe four or five years ago. But
we have and we've not experienced anything where we had people,certainly in the building,trying
to make contact with these young people that were being housed for us. Now we're only 90-day
facility, so we need this. We need this.
It's a great opportunity that Samaritan House is offering to do this. I don't think it poses any risk
that the fears that people have, we actually had people come to a hearing on the girl's shelter
asking if we were going to put bars on the windows to keep them in. We said no, they want to be
there. They came here, they want help. If they want to leave, they can leave but they really need
help. They want help and they're not going to need having any bars on the windows. So, that's
what we have going here, you know, we have victims that want help and are thankful for it, I'm
sure. And moving this building over 25-50 feet, I don't think that's going to do a thing to alleviate
the concern that these folks have, they've expressed an extraordinary concern about their
property.
I'm hoping that I'm telling the story is helping them to understand that the risk that they fear is not,
in my experience, real. The impact on their property values and so forth. But I would hate to see
you having to sacrifice any money to moving the house for purposes of a buffer even, a greater
buffer, bearing in mind that the offer that has been made and will be committed to I'm sure by
Samaritan House to put up a fence, the shrubbery and so forth to create as much of a barrier and
visual barrier and physical barrier, as could be desired. So, I don't see anything wrong with the
application.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Mrs. Klein?
Ms. Klein: I have to read something first. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflicts
of Interest Act I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding
the Planning Commission's discussion on Vote Number 7; Robin Gauthier and the Catholic
Diocese of Virginia, 1593 Lynnhaven Parkway, Virginia Beach, Virginia. This property is located
in the Green Run Homes community. I also reside in the Green Run Homes community and am
on the Homeowner's Association Board for the community located at 1248 Green Garden Circle,
Virginia Beach, Virginia. I've been informed by the City Attorney's Office that I have no personal
or financial conflict and can vote on this application. Therefore, I will participate in the vote or
discussion of this matter at today's meeting.
So that being said, the bulk of my career has been spent in family violence and child abuse. I can
tell you that those are the hardest facilities to get into from a security standpoint with their locked
doors when they don't have a security officer. I can't even pick up my son from childcare without
a photo ID and they know me. So, I believe the Samaritan House team when they say that this is
going to be a secure facility and that only known people will be able to be led in.Through my work
12
with the Child Advocacy Center at CHKD and in family violence, I can't stress the importance of
having this in the community.
I have worked at community-based facilities such as this, and so I absolutely appreciate the
concerns of Courthouse Montessori. In my experience, they are typically unfounded. And like
Mike said, most people don't even know that they exist if they're in a row -- in like a set of row
homes. I'm grateful to the Samaritan House for taking the responsibility. Robin came to a board
meeting and answered any questions that came up among the Green Run Board because we will
be working in tandem with them. And they have the board's full support moving forward, and so I
will absolutely be voting in favor of this application.
Mr. Weiner: Alright. Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: During my service in the fire department, I had the pleasure of inspecting the two
places that Mr. Inman spoke of as well as the Judeo-Christian Outreach over on 13th or 14th
Street, another place on Lynnhaven Parkway, all over the City and I've never seen any of those
types of problems that we are fearing here today. They're all well run by professional staff. Even
when the kids were wayward, the staff was adequate for the situations that they had to deal with.
So, I'll be supporting that as well.
Mr. Weiner: Good. Jack?
Mr. Wall: I feel this is very low intensity use. There's low risk due to impacts, the neighbors fully
are further mitigated by landscaping and fence, so I'm going to be in support of this application
also.
Mr. Weiner: Alright. Anyone else? No motion? Ms. Klein?
Ms. Klein: I move to approve the application for Robin Gauthier and the Catholic Diocese of
Richmond.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mrs. Klein, do we have a second? Seconded by Mr. Inman,
we are ready to vote.

Run at 757-427-2600 or via email at hdanielscgreenrun.orq.
Sincerely,
Dean Densmore, President
For the Board of Directors
March 24, 2021
To the Virginia Beach Planning Commission,
This letter is intended to be a Letter of Support for the sale of a portion of the Church of
the Holy Apostles' property for the intended use of building a residential home to support
victims of human trafficking in the Hampton Roads area.
When the church's Executive Committee received its first briefing on the project in
September 2019,the committee was fully onboard. This briefing was followed with
presentations to our Vestry Council in October 2019 and to our entire community in early
November 2019. In each case, the proposal received unanimous approval.
Because the Holy Apostles' property is actually jointly owned by the Catholic Diocese of
Richmond and the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, Holy Apostles' support was
forwarded to each diocese and has received their approval. The mission of this program is in
keeping with the Christian message each denomination attempts to live by—support of the
victims of oppression.
Our Holy Apostles' community remains committed to doing what it can to have this
important project become a reality. It is our hope the Planning Commission will see fit to
approve this essential effort for our greater Hampton Roads community.
Sincerely,
Rev. Mr. Gary Harmeyer
Senior Pastoral Associate

AGENDA ITEM f

The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales & Rentals

that was formally occupied by a bank. There will no modification to the building's
exterior. The submitted Site Layout Plan depicts eight parking spaces for
employees and customers, exceeding the parking required by five spaces. The
Site Layout Plan also depicts designated vehicle display areas along the perimeter
of the site with additional trees and shrubs to be installed along street frontage and
interior property line.
■ Considerations:
The proposal to operate a used car lot at this location is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's Suburban Area policy to create and maintain neighborhood
stability and sustainability. The use is compatible with the surrounding area and
there are a number of automobile related service uses along this section of Indian
River Road. The proposed plantings appear to meet the landscaping requirements
for street frontage and display area.
The applicant proposes to retain the existing vehicular access point closest to the
intersection of Indian River Road and Depositor Lane; however, both Staff and the
Planning Commission recommend closure and removal of any improvements
associated with the ingress/egress. It is Staff's position, and the Planning
Commission concurs, that this access point should be closed as it poses a traffic
safety issues due to the distance to the intersection. This recommendation is
indicated in Condition 3 below.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. Staff received one letter of opposition and
there was one speaker in opposition at the Planning Commission public hearing.
Both the letter and the speaker noted concerns related to traffic, incompatible use,
and decrease of property value.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant's proposal to utilize the former BB&T Bank building to operate a used car lot is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan Suburban policy to create and maintain neighborhood stability and sustainability.The use is
compatible with the surrounding area and there are a number of automobile related service uses along this stretch of
Indian River Road.
The submitted Site Layout Plan shows designated vehicle display areas along the perimeter of the site with parking for
customers and employees located behind the building. Section 5A.4 of the Site Plan Ordinance requires the perimeter of
the designated display area to be landscaped with at least 12 percent of the total display area.As shown on the
submitted plan,the additional trees and shrubs to be installed along street frontage and interior property line will meet
the landscaping requirements for street frontage and display area.
Traffic Engineering reviewed the request and commented that the access point closest to Indian River Road on
Depositor Lane needs to be closed since it's too close to the intersection, creating an unsafe condition. Condition 3 is
recommended for the closure of this access point.

Item # 13
Cerza Enterprises, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicle Sales)
6056 Indian River Road
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL—HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Great. Right, now Item 13.
Madam Clerk: Agenda Item 13 is Cerza Enterprises, LLC; an application for a Conditional Use
Permit Motor Vehicle Sales on property located at 6056 Indian River Road located in the
Centerville district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, Ms. Sandloop.
Mr. Bourdon: For the record Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney representing Cerza
Enterprises, LLC. This is an application for Conditional Use Permit on a parcel,the 33,000-34,000
square feet on the corner of Indian River Road, and what was the name of that lane? Depositor
Lane, I guess the bank got to name the lane. Bank was there for many, many years.
And frankly,the property with this application is going to be utilized to a much lesser degree;there
only be 12 cars displayed on site. And it will be -- they'll also have some internet sales from the
site, but the traffic generation is far less than the bank. And we're using -- the property is well
landscape to begin with; bank is a beautiful building; we're not changing any of that. It'd be one
of the nicest looking buildings for a car dealership that I've seen in Virginia Beach or elsewhere.
The applicant is putting additional landscaping on the property that staff has described in what
you heard about this morning in the informal session. The conditions and they're very typical and
strong conditions. There's no repair work that's taking place on this property, no outside storage
of any tires, materials, debris, etc. It'll be maintained as the bank has maintained it, and so really
there is not a lot of change here other than fewer traffic trips per day. The hours are longer hours,
however, then the banks. Bankers, they don't spend a whole lot of time at the office. So, the one
condition that's problem that was came up at the 11th hour is condition number three. And that is
-- and we agree with the traffic engineering folks that this front access or front curb cut on
Depositor is not a very safe access point. It was used for access by the bank, although primarily
it was an exit from the drive thru. But we totally agree it will not be an access to this use.
In fact, we will be using the area in front of the building as the primary display area where there'll
be eight vehicles displayed, and so we will absolutely ensure that it's not used as access. And by
doing so we'll put No Entry signs on either side of the existing curb cut onto Depositor, and we
will always have a motor vehicle parked parallel to Depositor that blocks that from ever being
used for access. And we're perfectly amenable to that. Obviously, there's not an issue with
1
vehicles leaving through there, but we're not going to have people's leaving through there either.
Now it is conceivable that we may have to move a car that's on display out through there, by
pulling the car that's blocking it out and bring take that car out, but we can also go the other way.
But access we agree totally, but the idea of tearing it out and putting in curb and gutter when
we're lessening the use to begin with is not acceptable to us and I don't think it makes any sense
whatsoever. But we totally agree, not access but the idea of closing it, we will close it but we'll
use a vehicle to do that. Plus, we'll put signs on either side. Do not enter, no access, but you have
to run through the car to do that. With that I'd be happy to answer any questions.
We agree with all the conditions that the staff has recommended, and we agree with the word --
the first part of number three, but closing it and of course that hasn't been defined, but we certainly
don't think it makes any sense to come in at something that's again used for a lot more years for
traffic going in and out but mostly out. And we're going to make sure it's not used for anybody
coming in. We got two other entrances on Depositor that will be the entrances that will be used.
I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?Are there any more speakers? Any speakers? Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: I'll just come back and respond.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Madam Clerk: We do have one speaker virtual; Teresa Bracy. Ms. Bracy, if you could wait two
to three seconds and then begin your comments.
Ms. Bracy: Thank you, Chairman, Vice Chairman and Commission members. I'm Dr. Teresa
Bracy. I own Indian River Veterinary Hospital located at 6070 Indian River Road. Today I'm
speaking in opposition of Agenda Item Number 13 for Conditional Use Permit to operate Motor
Vehicle Sales at 6056 Indian River Road. In support of my concerns, I would like to address two
points. In the background in summary of the proposal section of this application planning staff
now includes a summary of zoning history which highlights specific properties consistent with this
applications proposed use. However, I feel it expressly excludes business use which does not
support the application.
I would like to point out to the Planning Board the following businesses and addresses that were
not included; Reitano Dentistry at 6062 Indian River Road, Eastern Virginia Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery at 6033 Providence road, Agape Chiropractic Center 6070 Indian River Road, Tidewater
Dental Group 6095 Indian River Road, Sleep Specialists of Tidewater at 6025 Providence Road
and Indian River Veterinary Hospital at 6070 Indian River Road. These properties represent
professional medical related businesses located within two tenths mile north,south, east and west
of the application address. Based on current zoning alone these areas are not specifically
designated as a medical business district, however the use is consistent with that.
2
I do not feel this application use permit is consistent with the surrounding business operations in
close proximity and I feel the proposed use would have a negative impact on those businesses.
As staff planner Dao points out while there are gas service stations and convenience stores in
close proximity, to my knowledge there's no motor vehicle sales lots currently along Indian River
Road, and as a business owner and long-term resident I would suggest we keep it that way. The
best example we have some of a similar business which staff also doesn't mention is West View
Auto Inc located at 6216 Indian River Road which is three tenths of a mile from this location on
the highly visible corner of Indian River Road and Sunnyside Drive. Westview Auto is an Auto
Service Center; at all times as many as 70 cars in various degrees of dilapidation are occupying
a 21,000 square foot lot creating an eyesore for the community and affects property values.
While the application includes 13 conditions and an attempt to mitigate public concerns, none of
the proposed conditions specify that I saw, there was a comment that was made by the attorney
but I didn't see where it limited the number of cars to be parked on the premises. He spoke
different of that, so maybe we can address that. Citing also, for example, the numerous used car
sale lots located along Military Highway and Virginia Beach Boulevard sections of the city I would
Mr. Weiner: Any more speakers?
Madam Clerk: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: One quick question for one second. Mr. Tajan, do we have anybody from traffic
engineering here, or can you answer a question?
Mr. Tajan: Ric Lowman is on.
Mr. Weiner: Is he? I mean, I'm just curious; this bank has been here for a long time. And I'm sure
there was many times where people exited the drive thru and came out this area of access to be
closed on the Indian River Road. I think actually, I had done it before and I didn't see any. I'm just
curious what the difference is now. And Ric, if you're there, what's the differences now compared
to what it was when it was a bank, when there's going to be less vehicular traffic going through
there.
Mr. Lowman: Hi, Mr. Weiner. This is Ric Lowman, Traffic Engineering. I know that the bank was
approved well before we had the access standards that we do now. Even in using it as an exit,
there it is, you know close to Indian River Road, we wouldn't approve an access point.
In fact, our Public Works standards don't allow access points within a certain distance of a radius
to a major road. So, we just felt like closing this access point would be in the best interest of
access management for not only Depositor Lane but traffic turning into and out of Indian River
Road.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, hold on a second. I have another question for you, Ric.
3
Ms. Oliver: So, Ric, when you -- define "close the entrance" please, is that a permanent close?
Mr. Lowman: If we're looking at like a temporary reuse of a site, then yes, we could consider like
a temporary closure, like for instance using big flower planters, perhaps to close the entrance off.
If we're looking at a permanent reuse of a site, then we would want that entrance ripped out and
the sidewalk kind of extended through there, because it does -- it would help pedestrian access
to just get rid of that curb cut totally. So, you don't have to go down and then back up across the
entrance. So, in this case, I think we said close, meaning that we'll never want that access point
used again even if the site is reused for another use. So, I'll let you guys define how you want to
close it. But we have put planters or something permanent in there so that vehicles can't exit --
enter or exit from there.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions for Ric? Thank you, Mr. Lowman. Yes.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you. Mr. Chair,first of all, the doctor who --the veterinarian who spoke there,
there is a — she even mentioned there's a car dealership just two blocks to the west on Indian
River Road. This is not going to be like those. That's for sure. And I'm not saying anything bad
about those. But, yeah, this is very clearly on the plan that there will be 12 vehicles displayed on-
site. That's I can't—I don't know what else I can say other than that, and that's exactly what we've
agreed to. The--and the conditions --one of the conditions, one of the things she referenced was
cars that were dilapidated or whatever, that won't be the case here and there's a condition that
clearly addresses it.
These are standard conditions now. They weren't necessarily standard conditions 15-20 years
ago, or 30 years ago, and I don't know how long these other dealerships have been there. But
so, this site, it is probably going to be temporary use, I don't know that it will last for 30 or 40 years.
I doubt it. But it'll clearly not change the character of this property a bit, and I don't think it'll have
any negative impact on anybody's property value, not at all. That this -- back to Mr. Lowman's
point, we are agreeing that that front, current ingress-egress for vehicles will be closed off, and
we will close it off and we will have signs up so it's not used for access or exit. It is true that on
the original exhibit, we showed an exit lane, but that was really for our own vehicles. That won't
happen, we'll take that off of the plan, and it will not be used.
But to go in and put in curb and gutter is not something that really--given that nothing we're doing
will make the traffic generation anything other than less than what it was. And if a bank had bought
the property and the bank was still operating, there's nothing anybody could do about it. So, we're
not in disagreement over that, it not being used to access. Frankly, if one of our vehicles goes out
and on to Depositor and turns in behind there on the second access, it's certainly not a dangerous
situation and that road doesn't have a great deal of traffic. Indian River does, and I totally agree
with Mr. Lowman with regard to somebody trying to turn in onto Depositor and stopping traffic and
it backs up onto Indian River.
4
We will make sure that doesn't happen by taking the actions that I've described if that's what City
Council ultimately believes or, I guess. Putting up -- frankly, putting those planters out there, I
think, looks, frankly tacky myself, I think having a car blocking the access and signs is not —
especially when all these other new cars are out there would be a better way to do it.
Mr. Weiner: I want to say something really quick, don't throw things at me. I just want to say
something. If we approve it like it is like you want us to approve it, so it could be blocked by just
a sign and what you just said about, hold on a second,what you just said about is only a temporary
situation for maybe a year, maybe two years, five years, whatever. But if it goes back to being a
bank building, they're not going to have to come in front of us because it seems like to me traffic
engineering just wants this one just closed off for future reference. If it goes back, if we approved
the condition now the way you want it, and it goes back to being a bank in the future, then they're
not going to have--they can't come in front--they can use this as an ingress-egress in the future.
Mr. Bourdon: What? I heard Mr. Lowman say if it was a temporary; if it was temporary use, then
he was fine with putting planters out there. That's what I heard him say, and that's what I was
addressing.
Mr. Weiner: Right. And then the next person that comes along, it'll be in the condition in their
temporary use, right? Temporary for ingress and that you can't be -- it won't be opened all the
time for ingress-egress. So, the next person that comes out here to do this, you see what I'm
getting at? So, we kind of want to make it to where you can't -- not permanent, but there's
something —even if you build a wooden box and put some flowers in there or something to close
it off.
Mr. Bourdon: That's what I just said, I think that looks tacky. But if that's what the city wants to
do, then that's--we will make sure it's not used for access.
Mr. Weiner: But without anything being there, it's kind of hard to do that. And I'm not saying you
won't--
Mr. Bourdon: I disagree. We have car dealerships throughout the City of Virginia Beach, that
when they're closed on weekends that's exactly what they do to every one of their entrances and
people don't get through there, okay?And if we do that permanently with No Entry signs on either
side of that drive aisle, there won't ever be cars going in and out of there. But putting a planter
and like we don't -- I guess we don't do the signs, we put a planter there. But I mean, I just -- I
don't think that the planter is -- I think it's less attractive than having a new vehicle sitting there.
Mr. Weiner: Yeah.
Mr. Bourdon: That's my own personal opinion. But again, that's up to how-- however, you all—
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Graham has a question for you.
5
Mr. Graham: It's more of-- I guess I just want a clarification. So, if you did close off that entrance,
there would no longer be circulation around the building, and when you went down that little road,
it would be a dead end. Am I wrong or am I right?
Mr. Bourdon: That's what would happen if you put a curb and gutter out there.
Mr. Graham: Yeah, and I agree. The planters, I think it's tacky when that's done. As a former
fireman, would you rather have circulation around the building?
Mr. Coston: We've got to have circulation.
Mr. Graham: Okay. I was just trying to understand I said, I was just trying to --
Mr. Bourdon: Yeah. It's a very good question because if you -- basically if you put curb and gutter
out there, you have to tear everything back of it out and it doesn't -- just to me, it makes much
more sense to make sure it's not used in a way that's consistent with the use of the property.
True, we may be kicking the can down the road to .. I don't know how long this use will be there.
I'm not suggesting it's only going to be there a year or two. It could be there for 10 or 15 years.
But that's a beautiful building. The building's got a lot of useful life left. I don't-- I just can't sit here
and tell you. I mean, banks aren't -- we're not building a lot more banks anymore. I mean, it's all
digital and what have you, so I don't think there's going to be a bank going out here. I'd be very
surprised. But just trying to do an adaptive reuse of the property as it exists with as little change
other than positive change as we can make and putting --
Ms. Oliver: Eddie, I just -- and I'm just not -- I'm not going to -- I'm not arguing the point, but Ric
was fairly clear about having the street closed with curbing. I mean, he stated it and he said that's
what he preferred as a traffic engineer. That's the way he wanted the property. Now it was up to
us how we wanted to handle it, but that's what I clearly heard Ric say. Either way, I mean, I'm just
Mr. Bourdon: I think he said if it's of permanent --
Ms. Oliver: He would prefer that access closed.
Mr. Bourdon: If it's a permanent use he would close that, but as a temporary use which is I think
anyone would probably agree it is probably more of a temporary use. It's up to whatever --
however --
Ms. Oliver: So, is the applicant only going to do this for short -- when you say it's a temporary
use, so his intent is only temporary?
Mr. Bourdon: Ms. Oliver, the automobile industry in this country --
Ms. Oliver: Well, I understand.
6
Mr. Bourdon: -- where that all is going with electric cars and our current administration and
everything else, I have no -- and I've got-- I represent some car dealerships, who knows? Okay?
You know, great. I don't know, and I don't think anybody really does. So, to suggest that it's
"permanent", I mean permanent in my view of what I consider permanent; somebody is going to
come in, buy a piece of property,tear down a building, put a lot of money into redoing the property,
and that's not what this is.
This is the adaptive reuse of the existing property as it is for this use. It certainly doesn't-- it's not
going to work for a vet, it's not going to work for a medical office building. So, it's a use of the
property, it's an attractive property; it's less impactful use of the property. I have no idea how long
it will be there.
And what's temporary versus what's permanent, I don't have really an answer to that either other
than my view is somebody who's going to come in and invest millions of dollars and putting
improvements on a piece of property that's they're looking at that longer term. Somebody who's
buying a property that's already developed is looking for something that provides cash flow for
their investment. So, it's less permanent, but that's the only way I can put it.
Mr. Weiner: Jack?
Mr. Wall: So, if we leave this -- if we leave condition three just the way it is, I mean, it will be up
to staff to make that determination. What closed, is that --
Mr. Bourdon: I think it'll be up to the City Council to make the decision.
Mr. Wall: Up to -- or City Council. Sure. Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: That's my view anyway.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Yeah.
Mr. Weiner: So, we're going to--if we leave it in there just the way it is, it doesn't say permanently
closed with curb and gutter, right?
Mr. Bourdon: It does not, it does not, and this came up --frankly, it came up towards the tail-end
of the review process, and I've had very productive conversations with Hoa, I have not had a
chance to have a conversation with Ric and probably will moving forward. But I'm willing to come
up here and say approve it as is without putting it out there, my clients' feelings and I share my
clients' feelings with regard to the idea that something that's reducing the traffic volume a lot, is
all of a sudden you have to expend money to put a curb and gutter and which means then you
got to dead end like it's just-- it's not-- in our view, it's not a practical thing to do.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Tajan wants to say something.
7
Mr. Tajan: For clarity's sake, staff would interpret the condition as was written now is that it would
have to be removed. It would have to be pulled out. So, if there is a recommendation for a change
in the condition, then we would like some clarity from the Planning Commission for us to make
that--for recommending a change to the condition.
Mr. Weiner: So, what you're saying is the way it is written now, it's permanently closed, that it'd
have to be permanently closed with curb and gutter.
Mr. Tajan: That's how staff had written it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: However, but we would like to -- if the Commission has any -- wants to change the
condition, of course, that's up to the Commission.
Mr. Bourdon: And if I could comment.
Mr. Weiner: Sure, you can.
Mr. Bourdon: I certainly can see that that is one way to read what it said. But if it said the current
ingress and egress from Depositor Lane shall be permanently closed with curb and gutter that
would have been a lot clearer. But then what do you do with the rest of--what's in front of them?
Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Bourdon
Mr. Wall: Actually, I have a couple of questions.
Mr. Weiner: Hey Mr. Bourdon, we have a couple more questions. Don't go anywhere. Come on
back.
Mr. Wall: So, my questions are, so how long they owned it? I'm sorry.
Mr. Bourdon: The current -- I believe about a year and a half, maybe a year. I guess it's been
vacant for a year and a half. And this is only -- and it's been short-term.
Mr. Wall: Right, they've owned it. It's been vacant since they've -- they pretty much own it. So,
the 12 vehicles, is that -- may be that was mentioned and maybe I missed it. It's not a condition.
Mr. Bourdon: The display area shows 12 --we display eight in front. Actually, I may have -- I may
be incorrect. It may be 11.
Mr. Wall: 11, okay.
8
Mr. Bourdon: I apologize. My math skills -- lawyers are not good at math.
Mr. Wall: That's it, 11 vehicles.
Mr. Bourdon: That's correct.
Mr. Wall: Or 12 vehicles, whatever and no -- but it's not written anywhere that says just display
area. Is that enforceable? I mean is that a -- so if they have -- if they started putting vehicles in
other areas, more than 11, more than 12, then they can be cited for not being in compliance with
their new Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Bourdon: Just 12 vehicles.
Mr. Wall: And I'm sure that 12 vehicles is pretty minor. I mean, that's not-- it's pretty, pretty small
and not very intense, I would think.
Mr. Bourdon: And with Internet sales which you also have or you can make deliveries of vehicles
to people coming to -- bought on the Internet, that's the other aspect. But that doesn't involve
display of vehicles for sale on site. It also lessens the --and they've got a good condition. The city
has a good condition, but it's hard to force everything, the banners and the streamers and all that
stuff, you don't see those on a facility like this display area.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Alright, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. All right, we're going to close it and open it up to either motion or
discussion. Who want to start, Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: I move we approve the application as written, with the conditions as written.
Mr. Weiner: As it is.
Ms. Oliver: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Hold on a second. Mr. Wall has a question?
Mr. Wall: Right. I do have a few things to say before we vote. I'm ready to vote, but I just want to
say because there was a letter and it's not just by the veterinarian, that was a couple doors down
into the-- one of the adjacent property, I don't know if they're an owner or a tenant, wrote a pretty
good letter, and I felt that it should probably be addressed. Also, that, it seems like this is a very
low intense use and it appears it could be temporary. But I think it was one of the dental offices
that was adjacent that had some concern, but I think that we've been able to mitigate it just by the
limit of number of vehicles in the conditions. So, I'm in favor of it.

Dear Council/Planning Committee,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the used car lot
proposition for the property immediately adjacent to our building in
Indian River Executive Center. My opposition and concern is shared
with many of the other professional businesses in our complex and
surrounding properties. Our biggest concern is that that will cause
increased traffic to an already very busy intersection and decrease
the value of our properties and businesses.
Traffic safety and safety of pedestrians are major areas of concern.
Many people are walking at or near the intersections of Indian River
Road and also the road behind the proposed lot, Providence Road,
being that Providence park is one block away. Traffic jams here on
Indian River Road specifically already can take significant time to
navigate during rush hour. In general, the area traffic has continued
to increase, and heavy traffic is already common at rush hour times.
Additionally the sigma associated with a used car lot will only be a
detriment to the value of our community and the surrounding
property values. For our dental practice specifically, this is a
detriment to the privacy of our patients and clients who's windows
directly face the proposed car lot.
I sincerely urge you to disapprove the proposed property change
from a bank which is a professional establishment to a used car lot.
From recent meetings and discussions with my neighbors, I know
my opinions are shared by many who have not managed to attend
this meeting or write letters and emails.
Thank you for your continued service and support of our
communities.
Best regards,
Dr. Ryan Reitano, Reitano Dentistry

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: A & G AUTO SALES [Applicant] G & A PROPERTIES, LLC [Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicles Sales and Rentals) for the property
located at 604 Newtown Road (GPIN 1468301875). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit in order to operate a motor vehicles
sales and rentals operation within a 2,900 square foot building and 12,000 square
feet of vehicle display area. The applicant proposes to offer up to 74 vehicles for
sale on the property. No changes to the building are proposed, other than the
single wall-mounted sign above the entryway into the office and an eight-foot tall
freestanding monument-style sign to match the materials of the existing building.
No auto repair is proposed in conjunction with this request.
• Considerations:
The applicant is seeking deviations to the building foundation landscaping
requirement along Paca Lane and the 12 percent interior display area landscaping
requirement for the site. In lieu of building foundation plantings along Paca Lane,
the applicant will install additional plantings along the street frontage to mitigate
this requirement. To avoid the removal of existing asphalt on the site to meet the
required 1,440 square feet of interior display area landscaping, the applicant
worked with Staff to provide at least 750 square feet of interior display landscaping
along the northeastern boundary of the site. However, the site is deficient in this
requirement by 650 square feet. Ultimately, Staff believes that the landscaping
proposed for the site will enhance the screening along the public right-of-ways and
supports the deviations requested. The existing landscaping is required to be
maintained as it is shown on the exhibit noted in condition two.
The site meets the parking requirements and the requirements set forth in Section
239 of the Zoning Ordinance for Motor Vehicles Sales and Rentals, is in keeping
with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban
area, provides a service to the community, and is compatible with existing uses
along this section of Newtown Road, the request is recommended for approval.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicles Sales and Rentals on property zoned B-2
Community Business District. The site is developed with a 2,900 square foot one-story building constructed in 1969
that was previously occupied by a title loan business.
• The applicant proposes to display up to 74 vehicles on the site. No auto repair is proposed on site, and a condition is
recommended prohibiting that activity,to ensure that this more intense use is not permitted adjacent to the single-
family dwelling to the north of the site.
• The applicant is seeking a deviation to the foundation landscaping requirement along Paca Lane and the 12 percent
display area interior landscaping requirement. In lieu of the foundation plantings along Paca Lane,the applicant will
install additional plantings in the street frontage along Paca Lane. In regard to the minimum 12 percent interior
landscaping,the applicant intends to install landscaping along the northeastern boundary of the site totaling
approximately 750 square feet, roughly half of the required 12 percent interior landscaping. Based on this, a
deviation to the required landscape screening is requested.
• Per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance,the parking requirement for auto sales for this site is four parking spaces.
The parking requirement has been met and exceeded by eight spaces.
• The concept plan depicts a proposed freestanding sign located near the intersection of Newtown Road and Baker
Road.As shown in the submitted elevation,this eight-foot tall sign will be monument-style with a brick base to
match the brick material on the existing building.
• Typical hours of operation are proposed as 9:00 a.m.to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and 10:00 a.m.to 6:00
p.m. on Sunday.There will be two to four employees on the property during regular business hours.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales and Rentals, in Staff's opinion, is acceptable.The
request is in keeping with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban Area,as the auto
sales business provides a service to the community and is compatible with the existing uses along this section of
Newtown Road.
As required by the City Zoning Ordinance,street frontage and foundation landscape plantings are required along
Newtown Road, Baker Road,and Paca Lane.The existing street frontage landscaping does not meet the Zoning
Ordinance standards and is located within the public rights-of-way.The applicant is proposing to install additional trees
within the street frontage that will help improve the aesthetic of the site and provide additional screening from
Newtown Road, Baker Road, and Paca Lane.As the site is almost entirely of asphalt,the applicant is requesting a
deviation to the required foundation landscaping along Paca Lane and will install additional plantings along the street
frontage. Staff believes that the enhanced streetscape frontage along Paca Lane will help to mitigate this requirement.
As required by Section 5A.4 of the Site Plan Ordinance,the perimeter of the designated display area should be
landscaped with at least 12 percent of the total display area, or approximately 1440 square feet in this instance. The
applicant does not want to remove existing asphalt and opted to seek a deviation request to this provision.The
applicant has worked with Staff to provide a hedgerow of Japanese Cleyera plantings in the grassy area along the
northeastern boundary of the site,totaling approximately 750 square feet of interior landscaping for this site. While this
does not meet the required 1440 square feet interior display landscaping requirement, combined with the existing
landscaping and proposed additional trees within the public right of way,Staff believes that the proposed landscaping
will enhance the screening of this site from the public right-of-ways and support the deviation request.The applicant is
requesting that these deficiencies be addressed through the provisions of Section 221(i)of the Zoning Ordinance,which
allows City Council to grant deviations from required landscaping if"for good cause shown upon a finding that there will
be no significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties.

Traffic Engineering data shows that the proposed auto sales establishment would result in a decrease in traffic
generation.As shown on the conceptual layout,there is a 13.1-foot wide access point along Newtown Road, closer to
Paca Lane. Per Traffic Engineering,this entrance does not meet any Public Works standards for access points and
recommended the closure of the access point.On the resubdivision plat (MB 223 PG 9),as shown on page seven of this
report,there is a 1-foot no ingress/egress easement hereby dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach,VA for this entrance,
except for utility vehicles. While Traffic Engineering prefers the closure of this entrance,they are not opposed if the
entrance remains open for the use of utility vehicles only; however,there shall be no display of vehicles within this
entrance or in the path of utility vehicles entering and exiting the site.Condition 8 has been added to address this.
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 239 of the Zoning Ordinance for motor vehicle sales and rentals. Based
on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below and deviation to the
foundation and display area planting requirements as noted above.

for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability;
protecting and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance;and creating and maintaining a
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility.Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings,quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type,size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
resources on this property.

A&G Auto Sales [Applicant] G&A Properties, LLC [Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicle Sales & Rentals)
604 Newtown Road
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL—CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for the item to be placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none,
we'll move to the next agenda item. The next agenda item is Agenda Item Number 10. A&G Auto
Sales requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales and Rentals. Is there a
representative for this item?
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Again, Chairman Weiner, members of the Commission,
Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney representing A&G. We appreciate being placed on the
Consent Agenda. All 16 conditions as recommended by Staff are acceptable to the applicant. I
want to thank Marchelle for her work on this application. There were a number of moving parts
going through this. I appreciate being on consent. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this application to be on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none,
the Commissioner has asked Mr. Coston to read this into the record.
Mr. Coston: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales and
Rentals on property located in the B2 Community Business District. The site is developed with a
2,900 square foot one story building constructed in 1969 that was previously occupied by a title
loan business. The applicant proposes to display up to 74 vehicles on the site. No auto repairs
proposed on-site and a condition is recommended prohibiting that activity. To ensure that this
more intense use is not permitted adjacent to the single-family dwelling to the north of the site.
The applicant is seeking a deviation to the foundation landscaping requirement along Paca Lane
and the 12% display area interior landscaping requirements.
In lieu of the foundation plantings along Paca Lane, the applicant will install additional plantings
in the street frontage along Paca Lane. In regard to the minimum 12% interior landscaping, the
applicant intends to install landscaping along the north-eastern border of the site totalling
approximately 750 square feet, roughly half of the required 12% interior landscaping. Based on
this, a deviation to the required landscape screening is requested. The concept plan depicts a
proposed freestanding sign located near the intersection of Newtown Road and Baker Road as
shown in the submitted elevation. This 8-foot-tall sign will be monument style with the brick base
to match the brick material on the existing structure. Typical hours of operation are proposed as
9am to 8pm, Monday through Saturday and 10am to 6pm on Sunday. There will be two to four
employees on the property during regular business hours. Staff has recommended approval and
we have therefore placed this item on the Consent Agenda.
1
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
2
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application, but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have motion by Mr. Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein. You're ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Ms. Klein?
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Aye.
3
Madam Clerk: Mr. Redmond is absent, Vice-Chair Wall?
Mr. Wall: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Chairman Weiner?
Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Madam Clerk: By recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against, Agenda Items 2, 3, 4, 5 9, 10,
11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 have been recommended for approval by consent. Agenda Item Number
18, 23, 26 and 28 have with a recorded vote of eight in favor, zero against and one abstention for
each agenda item have been recommended for approval by consent.

agenda. They will be scheduled in the future to be on City Council agenda. Now we will move to
the items that we will hear. Madam Clerk will take care of that, please.

transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.

Mr. Graham: Thank you. This application is for an 820 square foot craft winery and 8825 square
foot wine tasting room. The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to allow its intended
use as a craft winery. The property is located -- it's at 1064 Lynnhaven Parkway and Suites 110
through 113 in the Rose Hall District. The applicant has agreed to all conditions. Planning
Commission agrees with Planning staff's recommendation to approve the application and
therefore has placed Agenda Item 11 on the Consent Agenda.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for

Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.

Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a

appearance of conflict. Thank you.

AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: DERRICK & NICOLE HOWELL [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional
Use Permit (Outdoor Recreation Facility) for the property located at 5409
Blackwater Road (GPIN 1399121357). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS
ANNE
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
The applicant seeks an after-the-fact Conditional Use Permit for an Outdoor
Recreation Facility (baseball field) on an 8.07-acre parcel zoned AG-2 Agricultural
District which is developed with a single-family residence. The baseball field has
been utilized by the applicant's children's baseball teams for games and practices
since 2014. Based on a complaint, the applicant was informed of the need for the
Conditional Use Permit and subsequently filed the application to rectify the
oversight. The teams use the field for 16 weeks for evening weekday practices and
weekend games.
• Considerations:
The subject agriculturally zoned property is located in the southern part of the City.
If properly operated, the Planning Commission noted that the recreation facility
could be a benefit to the community similar to public parks and fields, providing
children a location for outdoor activities in an area that is otherwise lacking large
outdoor recreational spaces. To ensure that the proposed use will not pose a
detrimental impact to the surrounding properties, the recommended conditions are
crafted to protect the character of the community while allowing for the outdoor
recreational use. Planning Commission recommends approval of the request with
modification to Conditions 1, 2, 4, and 10, and deletion of Conditions 7 and 8.
These modifications and deletions are indicated by underlined and strikethrough
text in the conditions, as noted below, and permit the use of banners/signs, an
unlimited number of cars to be parked onsite, a limit of two games per weekend
day, the installation of net at the applicant's discretion, and installation of a barrier
to prohibit use of the shared driveway. Further details pertaining to the application,
as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
During the review of this request, it was brought to Staff's attention that there are
fences, structures, and driveways that were installed on the subject property
without obtaining proper permits. Condition 12 is recommended to rectify this
oversight.

There was one speaker in opposition and one speaker in support at the Planning
Commission public hearing. The speaker in opposition who also submitted a letter
of opposition lives adjacent to the subject property. The neighbor described
concerns related to noise, traffic, and incompatible use. Staff also received 11
letters of support and an online petition with 2,285 signatures in support of the
request.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 8-1 .
1 . The organized use of the baseball field shall be limited to the hours between
5:00 p.m. to dusk, Monday through Friday, and between 9:00 a.m. to dusk on

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Conditional Use Permit request for an Outdoor Recreation Facility for a baseball field, in Staff's opinion, is
acceptable.The subject property is a large eight-acre agricultural zoned parcel where this type of use is considered to be
appropriate in the southern portion of the City. If properly operated,the recreation facility could be a benefit to the
community similar to public parks and fields, providing children a location for outdoor activities in an area that is
otherwise lacking large outdoor recreational spaces.
The request has been reviewed by the Department of Agriculture Staff who noted concerns of potential noise and traffic
impacts related to the proposed use. Blackwater Road is currently under capacity, however,there is no data available to
determine the potential traffic impact of the proposed use at this time. During the review of this request, it was brought
to Staff's attention that there are fences,structures,and driveways that were done on the subject property without
obtaining proper permits from the City. Condition 12 is recommended to rectify this oversight.To ensure that the
proposed use will not pose a detrimental impact to the surrounding properties,Staff recommends conditions to protect
Derrick&Nicole Howell
Agenda Item 15
Page 2
the character of the community,the outdoor recreational use, and the enjoyment of the adjacent property owners. In
addition,Staff recommends that an annual review of the Conditional Use Permit be performed per Section 221(k)of the
Zoning Ordinance to ensure compatibility with the neighborhood.The review will include a determination of whether
the Outdoor Recreation Facility remains an acceptable use and that a continuation of the use poses no detrimental
impact to public health,safety,and welfare.
Based on the considerations above,Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions noted below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The organized use of the baseball field shall be limited to the hours between 5:00 p.m.to dusk, Monday through

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being in the Rural Area. The Rural Area is located in the
southern half of Virginia Beach, south of Indian River and Sandbridge Roads. It is characterized as low,flat land with
wide floodplains and altered drainage with a presence of agricultural and rural related activities including traditional and
specialty crop cultivation, tree farms, equestrian facilities,wetland banks,fish farms, and other similar uses. An
important objective of the Plan for the Rural Area is to protect and sustain all of Virginia Beach's valuable
environmental, scenic and agricultural resources in the Rural Area against inappropriate activities and intense growth
pressures.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high groundwater, poorly draining soils, and high-water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.
Traffic Impacts

Derrick& Nicole Howell [Applicants & Property Owners]
Conditional Use Permit (Outdoor Recreation Facility)
5409 Blackwater Road
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL—HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Right, thank you. Item 15.
Madam Clerk: Agenda Item 15 is Derrick and Nicole Howell, an application for Conditional Use
Permit, Outdoor Recreation Facility on property located at 5409 Blackwater Road in the Princess
Anne District.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Bourdon, welcome back. One second, your mic is not catching. Try it again.
Mr. Bourdon: Hello. Okay. I'm sorry. Eddie Bourdon, for the record, representing Derrick and
Nicole Howell on this application for a Conditional Use Permit in an Agricultural Zoning District for
Outdoor Recreational Use.
First of all, Nicole and Derrick are here along with a number of their parents whose young men
play baseball on their Field of Dreams in Blackwater. And so, they're all here, the ones that have
taken off from work and I guess may have skipped school or yes, do we have school now? I guess
-- oh, it's virtual school maybe. So, I previously provided this morning some reading material for
all of you, including an article on the Blackwater Field of Dreams that was published in the
Princess Anne Independent News. It will be exactly five years ago tomorrow. And it was a front-
page story, I just printed out the story itself. The -- also nine exceptionally well written letters of
support from neighbors of Derrick and Nicole and parents of young men who have played or are
playing on one of the two teams that use this field for practice.
And I've also provided you a petition, most with comments, from 2,285 supporters of this
application. And this is a substantial, if not — well, it's clearly the majority of those people are
residents of the southern part of the City of Virginia Beach, and the southern part of the City of
Chesapeake. This application has overwhelming support from neighbors in Blackwater and also
Pungo and Creeds on the other side of the river.The field built in 2014 has been a learning ground
for young boys 9, 10, 11 and 12 years old; U-10, U-12 travel baseball players. Once they're 13,
once they play on U-14 level, they're 13-and 14-year-old young men, they have to have a bigger
field, this is not a regulation field. You could adjust the base pads for the difference between U-
10 and U-12.
There are only two teams that use this field and they're coached by Derrick Howell and one of the
other parents. And that field --the field is used on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays
for practice. It's not generally used on Friday. Hoa was nice enough to put Friday in there because
1
there are rain outs of practice, they will occasionally practice on Friday, but generally speaking
they don't have practice on Friday.
Games are held on the weekend. They travel, they're not all here. In fact, I think after-- is its last
weekend or this coming weekend, there won't be any more games probably until the fall that --
unless they're rained out at this, if they get a lot of rain up in Williamsburg or Yorktown or
somewhere, and they don't get it down here, they may play here, they may switch it and play
here. But basically 16 weekends out of the year, there'll be a game and game means these are
six inning games. So, the condition really, I think, should be clarified that there's -- they have a
doubleheader,the same two teams play two six inning games on the same day back-to-back. So,
2 innings max, if you don't have the 5-run rule, the 10-run rule or the 15-run rule, which shortens
a game to three, four or six innings --five innings, excuse me. So, it's not you're talking about --
the games don't start until 10 o'clock in the morning, no earlier than that. They're usually going to
be over at 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock in that range. So that one condition, it's technically two 6-inning
games but it's not different teams. It's the same two teams. So, there's no people coming and
going.
There are 36 weekends in the spring, the summer and the fall; that's 16 out of 36, there are 48
plus or minus in a year. So, it's not all year round by any stretch of imagination and the practices,
there's some--the opponent has--which we're agreeing to condition to say that, we're agreeing
to condition no lights, but the only time there are ever lights are temporary lights that Derrick
brings out that he's got for his business. And in the last week in October, Daylight Savings Time
changes;they stop playing baseball 10th--somewhere 10-15 days into November. So, you've got
about three weeks when they would use temporary lights that are facing into the field and not
somebody else's property. For those three weeks just for practice for an hour and a half once it
gets dark. We're agreeing to the condition there won't be more lights, but that's the only time there
were ever lights. Nobody's playing out there at night.
So, I can't say more eloquently, and I've been doing this a long time, I cannot speak more
eloquently than the people who wrote these letters. And I hope that some of you had a chance --
I'm not going to stand here and read them to you -- to read these letters. They are very moving.
They're very well, well, well-written. And on the other issues on the conditions, the rest -- the
Friday is not really a practice day but if there's a rain-out we don't want anybody saying, hey,
we're out there practicing on Fridays because it gets rained out, a couple practices during the
week. Number two, the same day, doubleheader of the same teams, 12 innings is basically one
game, it can-- if it goes extra innings but that's -- it's actually two six-inning games, same teams.
Number 7, that condition, there are -- the Howells and their wonderful, wonderful parents will tell
you that, they have sponsors to help defray the cost of the team because they do travel to play
and they take them on a trip, this year they're taking all the kids to Canton to the Hall of Fame.
Did I say that, right? It's not Canton, I'm sorry. It's not Canton, that's football. It's Cooperstown.
Mr. Tajan: Cooperstown.
2
Mr. Tajan: Cooperstown. Sorry, thank you, Bobby. It's Cooperstown. Gee, I'm losing my sports.
So -- and these are sponsors, local businesses that's helped sponsor the team. And these boys
grow up, they wind up playing for Kellam High School and/or they may be Hickory or somewhere
in Southern Chesapeake. But they can't be --these banners are not visible from anywhere. You
can't see them from any street unless you're up in a drone, you can't see them from the neighbor's
house either. They're on the outfield bench and they face to the north,they don't face to the south.
And they're not signage; they're not out on any street. So, I'm pretty confident that our ordinance
doesn't prohibit those. All access comes off of Blackwater Loop, does not come off of the shared
driveway on Blackwater Road. The parents all know and have for years, they do not access from
Blackwater Road over the shared driveway.
The vehicles always park and always have parked on the Howell's property, not in the public right-
of-way, not on anybody else's property, not blocking anybody other than the Howell's. So,
condition number eight, the 30 vehicles, generally speaking, that's a fair number. But after -- as
far as what's been experienced over the six years that this has been used as a baseball field, but
with COVID there has been a lot more people, parents, I'm assuming might just be parents, but
grandparents, uncles, aunts that are coming to the games to see their niece, nephew, grandchild,
whatever. But it's almost entirely family and the team are like family.
So, there have been more cars, and there's plenty of room for the cars, we just don't want to get
any — somebody saying oh, we counted 35 cars out there, you're violating your use permit. As
long as we're not bothering anybody else with the parking of the vehicles, we're not in the public
right-of-way, Blackwater Road is not--other than if you have a broken-down tractor or somebody
ran into a ditch, generally not a major, major backup for vehicles getting in and out of Blackwater.
So, we don't think the banner thing makes any sense. We're not going to put up any signs, there
are no signs. We think that 30 vehicles is potentially problematic. But all of the other conditions
are — and we appreciate staffs' work on this. They are all absolutely acceptable to Mr. and Mrs.
Howell. There is also the likelihood that as their children growing older, it may only be one team
there. This has never been used as a field for a league as the opponent has indicated, that's just
complete balderdash.
This last thing I'll say; there are two very, very nice lighted baseball diamonds on Head of River
Road, probably less than a mile from here. And Mr. Howell and his other coach attempted a
number of years ago to offer to take care of those fields, pay rent for those fields, or for a field,
they're not trying to basically hoard the fields, but take care of a field, pay rent to the city for a
field. The fields are not well used to say the least and were told you can't because you're not a
little league team, you're a travel team. So, we've got two well-lit, very nice fields, very close to
here that they can't use, cannot use, that are not like in the middle of Little Neck or Great Neck
where people are clamouring to get on the fields. So, he took to -- look, we want to be a family;
we will go spend the time, the money, the energy, the effort to put together what he's done here,
which has been fantastic. And you look at all those letters of support for people all on Blackwater
Loop all around there. They're good folks and they're doing a good thing, something our society
needs at this point, and it always needs, but right now definitely needs. I'll be happy to answer
any questions.
3
Mr. Weiner: Any questions for Mr. Bourdon?
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Bourdon, just want to go back to the conditions. The banners, are those like the
standard baseball banners they put on the outfield? Just for -- I mean these guys are going to be
doing for some fundraising to help pay for whatever and they need those sponsors. Is that what
you're talk -- is that what --
Mr. Bourdon: That's exactly I'm talking about. There are sponsors' banners that are hanging on
the centerfield.
Mr. Alcaraz: Inside of the field --
Mr. Bourdon: Inside the fence.
Mr. Alcaraz: Three foot tall.
Mr. Bourdon: Yes, sir. Exactly, they're not visible. The only place you see them is if you're
standing there watching a game because unlike the letter, there are no bleachers. There have
never been any bleachers as the gentleman alleges in his letter.
Mr. Alcaraz: But nothing on like the dugouts or in the back --
Mr. Bourdon: There are no dugouts.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, good for that. But nothing on the street or anything like that. I didn't know
where there's been --
Mr. Bourdon: There's nothing hanging on the backstop. There's nothing. It's just on the centerfield
fence. There are banners that are hanging there.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah. All for the --
Mr. Bourdon: Yeah, you can see it on the picture that staffs got there.
Mr. Alcaraz: For the partners that help.
Mr. Bourdon: Exactly, the sponsors of the boy's team. That's exactly right.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you, Mr. Bourdon, I'm sure we'll talk to you soon.
Mr. Tajan: Thank you Mr. Chairman. Appreciate it.
4
Mr. Weiner: Madam Clerk?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Chair, we have two speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Madam Clerk: Mike Waterman and then Buddy Altman.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir.
Mr. Waterman: Good afternoon. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the Planning Commission
for the opportunity to speak today in favor of approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Weiner: State your name for the record, please.
Mr. Waterman: Yes, sir. My name is Mike Waterman.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Mr. Waterman: Sir, I'm also representing my wife, Dr. Jennifer Waterman, who wrote one of the
letters of support, as well as the about approximately 20 families who use the field on a regular
basis. I have two sons, ages 10 to 12, who both have played at this location for about two years.
We consider ourselves to be an extremely fortunate to have found a family, a team and a location
that provides such a positive and constructive environment for our kids to play the game they
love.
The Howells have provided a tremendous location where kids are taught lessons of teamwork,
success, failure, discipline and the benefits of physical activity. All these things, all these
opportunities are less and less now with a COVID restricted environment. So additionally, as a
dentist, my wife is a dentist who submitted one of those letters. She has several dozen patients
who have either played there now or have families that go there to watch games. And without
exception, they just rave about the experience they have there and it's one to never be forgotten.
It's really become an institution in local youth baseball circles. It truly is a field of dreams.
This seems to really just be an argument of one person's personal complaints, frankly it seems
petty and other is factually incorrect. And I just have trouble seeing how the issues of the crack of
a bat, the occasional cheering and laughing of kids, some additional traffic every once in a while;
how that outweighs the benefits of this resource that provides something so innocent and pure as
kids playing baseball. While I understand some of these are inconveniences maybe for the
neighbor, the overall benefits to the community and their children far outweigh these
inconveniences. I would think that common sense dictates that there are logical compromises
here that would maintain this invaluable facility for the community.
5
The Howell's themselves have sacrificed a tremendous amount of time, effort and their own
money to establish this field for all of our families and for the community. They're clearly not in it
for any financial profit whatsoever. Their interest is only to provide a safe and convenient place
for our kids to play baseball. I strongly urge you to approve this request for a use permit, and to
allow for this positive outlet to continue for the community.So, I thank you again for the opportunity
to speak today.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, any questions? Thank you, sir.
Madam Clerk: Buddy Altman.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir.
Mr. Altman: Welcome and thank you for letting me put my take on this. First off, my name is
Stuart Altman, Buddy is a nickname. My real name is Stuart. I live at 5433 Blackwater Road,
which is the only adjoining neighbor to 5409. Every other neighbor is separated by a road; either
Blackwater Loop or Blackwater Road.
I have some -- not objections but I have some differences of opinion for what some of the
statements that were made earlier by the former gentlemen. When I moved into the house in
2008, there was an empty lot on either side of our house. The property backs up to trees. I loved
it. I had plenty of privacy. It was peace,tranquillity.There was minimal traffic on Blackwater Road.
I loved the house, I loved the fact that I could go out in the backyard, and there was peace and
quiet. You can hear the birds sing. And then that lasted for several years.
Later on, as things would have it, a house was built on 5409. And we were not the previous
owners, neither us nor the house or the previous owners, the original owners of this property.
Apparently, the previous owners had some kind of joint effort where they wanted a horseshoe
driveway on 5409. I called the city about this and the city said apparently there is some kind of
city provision that says driveways on Blackwater Road cannot be more than X feet together
because it disrupts the traffic flow on Blackwater Road. But the positioning of his septic and my
septic has to be where the driveway was adjoined. That's how the thing started. On several
occasions, I asked him not to build the adjoining driveway, I asked him to please cut down on the
traffic because of the cars coming up and down the driveway, and that was met with rejection.
They said that the driveway is no longer -- is not used for two-way traffic for the baseball field;
that is physically incorrect.
From 2014 until maybe two months ago, the driveway was used; the shared driveway was used
for multiple cars. There were multiple times where myself, my wife could not even get up and
down our own driveway from all the cars going up and down the driveway. Now apparently, the
city said that the shared driveway was provisioned to keep away from disruption of traffic. If you
have two families, each family might have, say four cars apiece, that's eight cars that could
possibly leave at one time. And that's at two different places. Now, imagine 40 or 50 cars all
leaving at the same time. That would be a lot more traffic disruption than just two houses with two
6
driveways. Now as you all well know, generally progression of a Conditional Use Permit is you
approach the city, you give them plans and -- of what you plan on doing. This ball field has been
in operation since 2014 with no permit.
Mr. Weiner: Sir,thank you for your comments.Appreciate that.Any questions. Questions?Thank
you.
Mr. Altman: I have one more comment to make. If this permit goes through, I cannot take it
anymore. My family will be forced to move. What about the resale of my house, who's going to
buy a $700,000 house that backs up to a community baseball field with an adjoining driveway?
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Mr. Bourdon?
Mr. Bourdon: I'll offer an answer. A buyer who recognizes the value of a piece of property as
being worth $700,000 and one who, like the majority of people in this room, in this country, love
kids and love baseball. That's who, but that depends on whether the house is actually worth
$700,000. I think it's gone up $50,000 in the last few weeks based on the letter I read. The shared
driveway is an easement that was created when the properties were subdivided and it is equally
on both properties.
The only folks who ever have used that driveway other than my clients, the Howells, are possibly
some people who have come from out of town to games with their children that don't know, that
could have happened occasionally. My client has a -- he's invested, he's blocked it off, it doesn't
happen, it won't happen under these conditions. The concerns of Mr. Altman, I don't believe were
expressed until just the most recent past. I don't know the exact time but again, it's been there
since 2014, the fall of 2014. It's been well publicized. And-- but I guess, not for the whole general
public, it's just a very finite use. But the condition says it won't be used, and it won't be used, plain
and simple.
And I'm not going to get into an argument over how trapped he believes he was in his driveway
and unable to get out. I find that a little difficult to believe but--and then reading the letter, constant
traffic coming up and down the driveway which causes family to be blocked is in my view and in
the view of all the folks here a fabrication. It's not--and he also talked about the ball field and the
bleachers. There are no bleachers, have never been bleachers. Complaints about the chain link
fencing. He's got chain link fence in his backyard, his backyard's chain link fence, kind of hard to
put those two together. This is a great thing that they're doing, it's a great application and it's
conditioned to make certain that Mr. Altman, enjoyment of his property isn't diminished; at least
not to the point that someone who had a house worth $650,000 last month wouldn't be willing to
pay it if it was worth it.
I'll be happy to answer your questions. I hope you all will consider revising the conditions as I've
indicated with regard to these banners, with regard to the number of cars. Again, they all will go
out in the two accesses this property house from Blackwater Loop, not through Mr. Altman's
7
driveway and there's a barricade that's been up and will continue to be up. That will not permit
that to happen when people are coming or going. Be happy to answer your questions.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions for Mr. Bourdon? Mr. Graham has a question.
Mr. Graham: The barricade, is that something that -- is that a condition?
Mr. Bourdon: There's a condition that it not be used and the Howells have purchased a barricade.
Any of you've been out there to see the field will have probably noticed that they put a — It's
temporary, they put it up on the weekend --
Mr. Graham: When they have a game that day.
Mr. Bourdon: Right, exactly.
Mr. Graham: Okay, got it.
Mr. Bourdon: And that's where the driveway forks. Obviously, we're not cutting off access to Mr.
Altman using the driveway to get to his property.
Mr. Graham: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Jack?
Mr. Wall: It's just quick one about number one. And obviously, you're fine with the hours, but it's
--and maybe this is more for staff. It's not that they can't use it, it can't be used for official practices,
because I'd hate to limit and somebody couldn't use it before 5:00 pm and in the middle of the
summer. I mean, some of these are kind of vague but --
Mr. Bourdon: You raise a very good point, Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Like, what's the use, official practice use?
Mr. Tajan: It's the actual use of the field itself.
Mr. Wall: Actual use? You can't even go out there to throw a baseball then?
Mr. Tajan: Right. That's -- we're trying to limit the hours. I understand the concern about it being
in the summertime, but we can --
Mr. Bourdon: My understanding was the organized game and organized practices were that --
were being limited, not my --
Mr. Wall: Not the use of--
8
Mr. Bourdon: They've got a daughter who plays softball, they've got three sons. I mean, they go
out there and they can -- it's on their property, they can go out and use it and they have a couple
friends over. They can certainly use it. It's not organized, it's their -- but it's not the public. Yeah,
that's good catch, Jack. Mr. Wall, I had no idea that would be what staff believed that that's going
to sit there vacant, that the house can't even use their own property.
Mr. Wall: But we can discuss, we can discuss. Okay. Okay, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Good, right. Mrs. Klein?
Ms. Klein: Bobby, this question is for you. What do we know about the limitations placed on the
neighborhood fields that this league cannot use?
Mr. Tajan: I am not aware of those limitations that are from Parks and Recreation, Mr.--
Mr. Weiner: I can answer that.
Ms. Klein: Okay, great.
Mr. Weiner: I was the Director of girls' softball for Kempsville Rec Association for 10 years. And
they had people to try to come in and use our field and Parks and Recs will not let you do that
because it's owned by the city. So, Parks and Recs will not let you do that. It's an insurance thing.
You're not signed up to play for the city. So, if you're not signed to play for the city, then you can't
use their field. Another team can't use their field, nor will they rent it to somebody to a little league
team or something. But I can't get into the leagues and all that, but I know the Parks and Recs
won't let you do it unless it's a city organized team.
Ms. Klein: Okay. I'll keep going then. So, I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to say that I
don't like baseball or support children. I have one. But as someone who eventually wants to leave
the dense residential area and move out to a more rural area, I can empathize with Mr. Altman
having this nice serene area that Don so fiercely protects.And now all of a sudden,every weekend
and a couple times a week during the year he has kids and families just descending upon the
property.
So, I hear those concerns what --who -- anyway, so I have concerns supporting the application
without being able to come to some sort of compromise between the homeowners because the
neighboring property is directly impacted by what happens on that property, home value aside,
like he's --you don't move out into the middle of the country to have the noise that you would get
in the neighborhoods, and at the same time I understand how the Howells want to be able to use
their property that they purchased it. Like that's -- it's their property to use. And so, I'm very
conflicted about moving forward on this. Because I appreciate where both sides are coming from
and I feel deeply for Mr. Altman.

Mr. Weiner: Who's going to -- who's next? Mr. Horsley, you want to go?
Mr. Horsley: Yeah. As a father who has had two sons that grew up playing baseball there's
nothing that I would rather do than watch my boys play baseball when they were growing up. I
mean, I'd rather do that than doing the thing myself. I mean, that's a pleasurable thing. And it's, I
mean --it doesn't fit everybody, but you know that people really like that. And they--my two boys
had grandparents who loved to do the same thing, and if they were playing ball, they were there,
I'm telling you; it didn't matter where it was, and whatever. So, I can understand the way these
parents feel.
And oddly enough, and this is a little piece of history for folks, there used to be a baseball field
right across the road on Blackwater Loop from this field. It was back in the -- I remember it when
I came here in the 1970s and it was pre -- it was here a whole lot before I came here, and it was
for the neighborhood kids to play ball, they didn't have another place to play and they would play.
And some of them up there around the loops, they'll remember that because I think they've asked
the Howells, is this going to replace the field it used to be here back when my daddy used to play
here. So that's what it was. So, I mean, what they've done is a good thing. I'm sorry about the
deal with the Parks and Rec, but I mean that's just the way it is. And I feel grateful that you've had
some parent -- two parents that were willing to stick their neck out and proceed with this. They
could have said, well, we just won't be able to do it, but they found a way to get it done. And I
appreciate that.
And I'm very familiar with this property, I farmed all of this property before either one of the homes
were built there and dealt with the landowners and assisted them in getting their property
subdivided and all when that happened, because they needed to get that done. And I hated to
see any houses build there. But I mean, I understand and they were large lots and whatever. So,
it was fine and the way it's developed, it has been fine. Even after these houses were built, right
by the gentleman, Mr. Altman I think his name is, I farmed that little piece of land there six acres,
because it was the only piece the people had left and I'd go in and farm it until -- till last year, I
think it was first year, that that piece was sold. And somebody else has farmed it now but--
So, I'm very familiar with it and familiar with the neighbors. And then the people in the areas are
saying what's going on with the ball field, who would object to kids playing ball? I said, well, if I
ever done that somebody got rubbed raw a little bit at one time, but I thoroughly support the
application. I mean, I would like to eliminate the condition about the banners. Number seven, I'd
like to eliminate that entirely. And I either want to up that number of vehicles or eliminate the
number eight where it says 30 vehicles because you put a number in there, like Mr. Bourdon said,
somebody is going to be--the first thing you're going to do is that somebody's going to be counting
and the Howells have five vehicles of their own they parked there, so that doesn't leave much
room for error.
And so, I would either want to extend that number considerably higher or either eliminate it
because all the parking is on their property. That's their driveway, they were used -- that they
were talking about using. I was told that that will not be used. I saw the barrier that he's gotten
10
and he stands it up in the driveway so that can't be used and -- but that was the way the property
was subdivided in the beginning, that those two driveways would be together. And so, they're the
two issues that I have. So far as the 15-foot net, I asked Mr. Howell -- I went to the property
Saturday and walked the property and I asked Mr. Howell, I said, how far is it from home plate
out to where the tree line is or to your property line? I think he says 280 or 300 feet. I said a 12-
year-old if he can hit it out there, man, I would love to pat him on the back and shake his hand
because that's pretty good. But I think that that issue is taken care of where some balls did get
over on the other property that some of the older kids at that time but he says they've taken care
of the older kids, don't—he didn't let them do that that type of batting practice anymore.
But I will attest to that I have farmed a lot of property and golfers hit golf balls in my fields all the
time and you know, but I don't get upset about it. They want to walk right in there and get them,
they do. Most of them don't, they leave them out there. I'll pick them up and give them to the kids
to play with. But baseball's more valuable than a golf ball. So —well, I am not a golfer. Maybe I
got some golf ball you can use. But anyway, I just — I'd like -- offer those comments, I really
appreciate what's taking place here. And Mr. Howells, I think his youngster -- youngest son is, I
think, he told me was 10; he's got two or three more years left. And I said what are you going to
do then? He said, we really don't know. I don't know if I'll continue coaching or not, or whatever.
But I do think that this is a good, good project and it's got the support of most of all the people
down there. It's not with one or two that don't support it.
So, there my question about the netting and I got a question mark about that, because -- but he
has consented that he would put it up. But there's -- telephone poles with a net strong crossed
over aren't very pretty as far as I'm concerned if you're going to look at, be looking at it the middle
of a field, but if that's what -- if that be the case, he has to do it. I think he will. He said he would
do it. But the other two things, I would like to change those conditions.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, sounds good. Jack?
Mr. Wall: Can we --
Mr. Weiner: Put your mic -- microphone.
Mr. Wall: So, if this does move forward, can we discuss a little bit about these conditions and
possibly, what's the foundation for--so let's-- looking at the number maybe bouncing around but
number eight and it seems kind of arbitrary and hard to enforce. It's only 16-- maximum 16 times,
which it could be a lot but what is --what was the foundation, the background for that condition?
Mr. Tajan: Do you mean condition number eight, Mr. Wall? Hoa will come up.
Mr. Wall: Number eight, right, 30 vehicles on-site, any one time?
Mr. Dao: That condition came up from my conversation with the applicant representative. I asked
him how many -- approximately how many vehicles is going to be on-site at a given game or
11
practice and he told me it's going to be around 25 to 30 and I conditioned it to be the max number
which is 30. And I believe he's indicating that number may be higher now. So, he's requesting
that to be higher.
Mr. Weiner: So, there's no rhyme or reason why it was 30 basically, what you're getting at? It's
just--
Mr. Weiner: The applicant wanted 30.
Mr. Tajan: It's an effort to try to reduce the traffic flow out there so as to keep down the noise.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, I'm just curious. Okay.
Mr. Wall: So, I'll keep going on that one then. So that actually came from the applicant initially
and just looking at they feel maybe that might be too low. Don, what are your thoughts?
Mr. Horsley: That's way too low. I mean if you're going to put a number, you need to put 50, if
you want to put a number, if you -- I would rather just eliminate it because all the parking is done
on his property and all the access is off of Blackwater Loop Road. None of it off Black— none of
the that people come onto property off of Blackwater Road. So, I don't want to -- I would think that
if you're going to put a number, I would suggest 50.
Mr. Wall: So, you feel it's covered by number nine, which parking for this use shall be limited to
the subject property driveway, not within the public roadway.
Mr. Horsley: Right. So, all the parkings got--that means all parking has got to be on his property,
can't be on the street or anything. And he's got room for all that parking.
Mr. Weiner: Good. Whitney.
Mr. Graham: I agree with Mr. Horsley. I mean, my son played travel baseball also, and it's great
that there's this field down there. Talking about the net, Cooperstown which is 12-U, the fence is
200 feet and Pony Baseball, they recommend 175 to as far out as 275 for a fence. So, I think right
now it is 300 feet.
Mr. Horsley: He just estimated 280 to 300.
Mr. Graham: Yeah. I mean I think that's probably fine rather than --
Mr. Horsley: That was to his property line?
Mr. Graham: Yeah, I'd probably -- I don't know that the net is necessarily important. I agree. We
either limit it to 50 or just strike it. I think the banners are fine.The hours, not being able to practice
or play before 5 o'clock doesn't really make sense to me, especially during -- it gets dark at 5
12
o'clock in after-- yeah, later in October. So, I mean, to me that needs to be modified. And then,
as a condition, I think the barrier that Mr. Howell bought that maybe that should be in there that
there'd be a --that he would put the barrier up before games or even practices.
I mean, that just seems fair; that protects the homeowner next door, but I'm going to support this.
I think it's great that these people are doing this. I think it's important for these kids to have a place
to play baseball. I understand, I've actually gone and tried to get baseball fields and practice fields,
and it is so hard. And it's easy for somebody to say, oh, well, there's a field down there. It's not
like that. I think it's great that they've done this, and I'm going to support this.
Mr. Horsley: So far as that barrier goes, the number ten really takes care of that, I think.
Mr. Weiner: Any other comments? Jack?
Mr. Wall: Yeah. I'm just going to keep going. So, number one, so then that limits all use of that
field. Can we modify that condition?
Mr. Horsley: Yes.
Mr. Wall: To -- I mean 9 to dusk would be -- you wouldn't expect that they'd be out there during
the weekdays except during the summer. So, it's --
Mr. Horsley: Jack, I think the reason that was put in there, nine to dusk, I think when they organize
practices now, Mr. Bourdon -- and correct me if I'm wrong, I think they're organized practices.
That's probably when they occur. What I would assume parents are home from work, and they
can bring the kids out there. But that's probably for organized practices is what --
Mr. Wall: Can we put—do we need to clarify that? If that's --can we make it 3:30 or 4?
Mr. Horsley: I'd like to ask Mr. Bourdon.
Mr. Tajan: Or just eliminate it?
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, eliminate it.
Mr. Bourdon: The times were times that the Howells gave me and I gave to Hoa when the team
practices,that's the only time that we're talking about an influx of vehicles, parents, because some
will drop off and come back but most will stay. So that's the only time when there's anything other
than your normal activity that you'd have around a house with four kids would be--but when their
kids are there, their friends are there, but it's not an organized practice with parents and what
have you, I never envisioned that the idea of this condition was to restrict the Howells and their
guests, not organize baseball using their own property. I'd never envisioned that that was the
case. And that's why I didn't have any problem with the condition, because it was just for when
there was something organized going on, whether it's games or practices.
13
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: So, I think it's a good condition as long as it's understood the way it was intended,
that it deals with anything that's organized where they're not invitees, people that the Howells
invite over, their kids invite over their friends, but I do -- I mean, I do think that for Mr. Altman's
benefit that the Howells have no problem with, they won't have older kids playing Home Run
Derby and hitting balls out of the property that -- and that I think had been -- at one point may
have been a point of contention whether — again, whether if he wants the barrier up there, my
client said they'll put it up. I don't know if I lived there that that I would want that.
I mean, they've planted all these trees that are growing as it is, but that's something that maybe
we can have conversation about with Mr. Altman. But the other there -- that's the only time that
they have organized and that's why that condition was there.
Mr. Wall: Okay, understood, thank you. The number two, two games, so that one is meant to be
understood as two 6-inning games is what that's understood to be.
Mr. Bourdon: Okay.
Mr. Wall: The banners, we had a -- I think suggestion just to eliminate the condition for the
banners, would that be --
Mr. Weiner: Yep, eliminate number seven.
Mr. Wall: Eliminate number seven. Okay.
Mr. Coston: Excuse me.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: I'd like to backup a minute, if the one game is interpreted as two games that are 6
innings apiece, we need to say that. I mean, we're not going to be the ones --we may not be the
ones enforcing this condition down the road someplace.
Mr. Bourdon: Okay. You might want to add and then that the games involve the same two teams,
because that's really the--that's the impact if you had different teams coming and going. So, it's
two 6-inning games, which is what these younger boys play with the same two teams playing in
those games. So, it's a doubleheader, but the same two teams. So, I think that's an important
aspect of that condition that it not be two teams playing one game and then another team comes
into play or another two teams come and play. It's the same team, so you only have one set of
parents for the whole day.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, anyone else? George?
14
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Bourdon,just at the number one condition, I'm just going to ask if this is suitable
for everyone. Any organized use of the baseball field?
Mr. Bourdon: Sure. And that would include -- I mean, any use that's just not--
Mr. Alcaraz: Any organized, so that way families that are throwing a ball, they're not going to be
kicked off.
Mr. Bourdon: Yeah.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: And while I'm up here, you can certainly add that barrier to the condition that says
the driveway won't be used, a shared driveway, that the Howells will make sure that barrier is up
at the end of their driveway where it turns into a shared driveway as a part of that condition. It's
not a problem,just makes it clear that they'll go to that extent to make sure it's not used.
Mr. Weiner: Any other comments? Jack?
Mr. Wall: Yeah, I just want to state that I hope this in anyway doesn't really affect Mr. Altman's
property. And I really do feel for him, because I -- you'd hope that you have good relationships
with your neighbor, and it's great to have that good relationship, the bonding, chatting with them
on a positive note every day is a good thing. And so, it's unfortunate that it is -- it's not in that
place, but we -- I hope that it does come to that and I hope that it is -- you know that these
conditions and maybe the Conditional Use Permit itself is, you know, helps to restore that in some
way. But I think that it's a good application and I'm going to support it, of course.
Mr. Weiner: Any other comments? I want to make one comment before we make a motion. I do
feel sorry for the neighbor a little bit, but I mean, I'd feel sorrier if this was 2015. The field has
been there since 2014 and this is 2021. I mean, I just -- I don't know, it should have happened a
long time ago, my personal opinion.
Ms. Klein: I have a response to that, because I've been considering that that very issue and
intended to ask it. We don't know what steps the neighbors took to communicate. We have so
many people come up here saying that they were operating Conditional Use Permit and they
didn't know, or without a Conditional Use Permit and they didn't know that they were supposed to
have one. So, my hope is that they've been trying to work it out themselves, and then it came to
a point when Mr. Altman had to pursue any other action. Because I agree, it's been six or seven
years, you would think this would have been addressed sooner. And so that is not to speak on
behalf--
Mr. Weiner: I understand. So, I'm going to be supporting it but do we need a motion?
Mr. Horsley: I'm ready whenever you are.
15
Mr. Weiner: Okay?
Mr. Horsley: Okay, I'll make a motion the application be approved with the following changes.
Number two would be limited to two 6-inning games with same teams per day. Number four with
a net optional with the agreement of the neighbors, if that's possible; an optional net. Number
seven, eliminate it completely. I guess for the sake of having some type of vehicle count, I guess
we should put a number. I would --my preference is to eliminate eight completely and let number
ten take care of it with the parking and all on the premises, if you all prefer. If you all prefer a
number, let me know, but that's my preference. My preference is to eliminate the 30 vehicle
number completely.And because parking is--number nine, it says parking is limited to the subject
property driveway, and not within public right-of-way. So, it's all got to be on his property. So --
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Horsley: And number 10. I would just put a shared -- prohibited from the shared driveway
from Blackwater Road by barrier and that would cover him, make sure his -- and the other--and
I'd leave it alone.
Mr. Weiner: All right. Mr. Inman, do you want to—turn your mic on, please. Mr. Inman, there you
go.
Mr. Inman: I was just going to suggest to Don on number four, couldn't we just add "if requested"?
Mr. Horsley: Yeah. However, you want to word that, I don't want it to be mandatory that he's got
to do it.
Mr. Inman: Yeah. If requested by neighboring property.
Mr. Horsley: Right, if the neighbor wants that.
Mr. Tajan: We can't do that. We — it either needs to be a may be installed or you could put may
be installed.
Mr. Horsley: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: We can't leave the decision or the condition in a way that leaves it between the
negotiation between the neighbors.
Mr. Inman: So, it's not a negotiation if the neighbor requests it. If the neighbor requested, you got
to put it up.
Mr. Horsley: Let's just put, instead of shall we put may, may be?
Mr. Inman: Well, then that leaves it up to the property owner to say no.
16
Mr. Horsley: Right.
Mr. Inman: Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Horsley, can you or can I amend it with the number one that it's organized use?
Mr. Horsley: Yeah.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Just want to make sure that.
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, we should do that. I guess, I mean --
Mr. Alcaraz: So that there's some casual throwing. That's what I'm worried about.
Mr. Horsley: Yeah. The use of baseball fields shall be limited to the hours of five to dusk; for
organized practices, Monday through Friday.
Mr. Wall: Organized uses?
Mr. Horsley: Okay, organized. Okay.
Mr. Wall: Did everybody catch that? Did you address seven also, was that?
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, I eliminated seven.
Mr. Alcaraz: I second.
Mr. Weiner: So, the motion by Mr. Horsley with all the changes and seconded by Mr. Alcaraz.

Request for Denial of Conditional Use Permit for 5409 Blackwater Rd.
Reasons for moving to Blackwater Rd.
1. Moved out of a culdesac in Chesapeake to get away from inconsiderate neighbors.
2. Our current home was on almost twenty cleared acres. No neighbors and backed up to trees.
3. Peace and quiet.
4. Deer and nature were plentiful all around.
5. Minimal traffic.
6. Privacy.
7. Relaxation.
8. Loved the home.
Home was built on 5409 Blackwater road
1. Neighbor announced he was going to tie into our driveway. It is apparently a city ordinance
controlling driveway spacing and traffic disruption on Blackwater Rd. Previously unknown to
me, it must be in the planning commission for this to happen since some of our driveway is on
his property. He had two access points to his home on Blackwater Loop.
2. Driveway is only around 1.5 feet on his property.
3. I asked him please do not tie into the driveway. It will cause problems.
4. I offered to buy the little amount of property the driveway was on his land.
5. He tied in anyway.
6. Problems have incurred every since as predicted.
Problems caused by the installation of the baseball field.
1. Constant yelling and screaming of upwards of fifty people. Almost everyday in the summer.
2. Annoying "ping" of an aluminum bat over and over.
3. No privacy. People sit on bleachers facing our home causing uneasiness.
1
4. View of a port-a-john from our family-room windows.
5. No peace and quiet.
6. Have ran over or had to pick up a five gallon bucket of baseballs, golf balls, softballs, a frisbee,
and other miscellaneous items in the last few years alone. Objects have damaged my mower
blades, stretched the belts on my mower deck from the added stress of cutting baseballs and
caused damage to my mower deck. I have done many repairs.
7. Constant traffic coming up and down the driveway even though there are two ways to exit on
his side of the driveway exiting on Blackwater Loop. This has caused my family to be blocked
from our own driveway access on many occasions. It is also not safe for our son to ride his bicycle on
our driveway.
8. Traffic disruption on Blackwater Rd. from forty to fifty cars leaving at the same time.
9. In the fall, they install sports complex type lights. They shine directly on our home. The glare
makes it almost impossible to watch TV.
1o. I was actually physically threatened by the ball field owner because I called the city to complain
and found out he needed a permit. A police report was filed.
�1. Owner had an event last summer. Baseball was played from eight in the morning until eight at
night. People put up tents and had trailers down our property line and each campsite had a
campfire. This disturbed the peace until around two in the morning. Police were called twice
due to the loud disturbing noise.
Reason's to deny permit for a baseball field at 5409 Blackwater Rd.
1. He has been illegally operating a baseball field without a permit for well over five years.
2. He continues to have games without a permit. Even after being directed from the city to cease
until a permit is granted.
3. The ball field is a constant nuisance.
4. My family has lost the sanctity of our home.
5. No peace and quite. Unable to relax and enjoy the outside because of noise. lack of privacy
and worrying about strangers scoping out our property and coming back later for notorious
actions.
6. Constantly running over balls with the lawnmower or having to pick them up because the
owners of 5409 are inconsiderate and fail to retrieve them.
7. Having an eyesore next door such as the port-a-john, ball field, bleachers, infield chain link
backstop, bright lights in the fall and many other nuisance activities.
8. If the permit is granted I will have no choice but to sell my dream home because of the
nuisance. My family cannot take the annoyance any more. Who is going to pay $650,000 for a
home that has a "community center-like" baseball field next door with an adjoining driveway?
Would you want to live beside this?
9. I have run over or had to stop cutting the grass to pick up eight base balls, a golf ball and what
looks like a dogs toy just in the last two weeks (March 13th to March 21st. )
1o. Zoning laws are in place for a reason. As a result, people should not be able to infringe upon
other peoples rights to happiness and destroy the sanctity of their own home.
1. Our family home may now be unsalable due to the fact that a nuisance baseball field is right
next door with an adjoining driveway.
2
Summary
We respectfully request a denial for the conditional use permit for the operation of a community
center base ball field supporting an entire league in the backyard beside our home. We have lost the
sanctity of our home. The ball field is an eyesore and a nuisance making our home unsalable! Thank
you for your time and patience dealing with this issue. Please respond to acknowledge receipt of this
email. Pictures have been attached to provide visual evidence.
Sincerely,
Stewart F. Altman
5433 Blackwater Rd.

Virginia Beach City Councilmembers,
I am writing to you today to share my thoughts on what the Blackwater Field of Dreams means to my family. Five years
ago, I met Derrick and Nicole Howell at the time I had a 9-year-old, 7-year-old and brand new baby, all boys. We met on
the ball field (naturally) and we quickly bonded. Over the course of these 5 years, we have grown to become great
friends. We spend many days and nights together around the ball field and hanging out around the house.They have
graciously opened up their home and field to my family. Because of that my children have made more memories than I
can count at their home. Many of those memories do involve the baseball field but some do not. My oldest (who is not
on the Knights baseball team) has memories of swimming in their pool and playing flashlight tag in the backyard. My
youngest (again, not on the Knights team) has literally grown up there! He knows the field/house as "Coach Derrick's
house". He has learned to walk there, he ate ice cream sandwiches (for the first time) in their backyard, he plays
basketball on their basketball court. You see,the baseball field is just part of Derrick and Nicole Howell's home. They had
a dream for their children to have a safe space to play baseball. Never did they know that their little field would create
this space for countless children to make lifetime memories. I am fortunate to say my children have those memories!
Over the course of these 5 years, I have never had the opportunity to meet the complainant neighbor. However, I have
had the opportunity to meet Mark (another neighbor) and his dog. They wander over frequently during practices and
games. He will come by to chat about the boys, our game schedule and just how the season is going for the team.
Additionally, over these 5 years, I have frequented the Blackwater Market (once it was reopened). We are almost always
wearing some type of Knights shirt or hat and therefore the employees know we are stocking up on snacks for a practice
or game. They often ask how the game is going or how the season is going. My perception of the environment in
Blackwater is that they are in support of the field and that they are grateful children have a safe space to be kids! My
only(indirect) interaction with the complainant neighbor came after the campout the Howell's had for our team in their
backyard in which he woke up sleeping children and adults by revving his motorcycle engine at 6am for about 10
minutes.
In a world where there is not enough space for children to be outside and just be kids. Please don't take away the safe
space that Derrick and Nicole Howell have created. I implore you to consider allowing us to keep the field open. They are
good people who just had a dream. Please do not take away this dream because a couple of people are resistant.
Cordially,

Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I am writing you to express my support for the application and use of the "Blackwater Field of Dreams" coming before
you on April 14th.
My two sons,Vance &Wyatt are currently playing in their third year of travel baseball with this beautiful field being
their home field. When my boys were 8 years old and we were first looking for a baseball team to be a part of there
were a lot of things to consider, but nothing more important than the safety of and the community we were
joining. The day we met our head coaches (Chris White and Derrick Howell-owner of the property) we knew we found
something special. These two fathers had not only passion for the game, but a desire to help their community as
well. They know how the local community of baseball can be at times and wanted to make it special for their sons and
the boys that joined their team. Simply put,this team isn't like the organizations most of the average teams here locally
are. It's small, and it's a family. It's about building young men up,teaching them respect, self control, and team
work. These two coaches dedicate an enormous amount of time each week doing just this, and its not an easy job to
keep 10-12 young kids focused and engaged. However,they do it and they do it well. My boys have grown
exponentially in these past three seasons. They absolutely love their team, and their coaches.
I am asking for your support to continue this opportunity for our children. Blackwater Field of Dreams is an absolute
blessing to the city of Virginia Beach and is well known and loved by not only residents of Pungo and Strawbridge area,
but by other families that have come to play baseball here. What you would find during a baseball game here is families
enjoying time together, and young boys participating in positive healthy activities. It is literally the kind of relationships
you pray your children have. In my line of work especially, I wish more of this was available. There has never been a
time it's needed more than now.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,

Department of Planning & Community Development
2875 Sabre Street, Suite 500
Virginia Beach, VA 23452
To the Planning Department and City Council members of Virginia Beach,
My name is Dr.Jennifer Waterman, owner of Waterman Family Dentistry located at 525 N. Great Neck
Road, in Virginia Beach. I am writing in support of the application for a conditional use permit for a
baseball field located at 5409 Blackwater Road.
I have two sons, ages 10 and 12,who have both played on teams based at this location for two years. We
consider ourselves to be extremely fortunate to have found a family,team, and location who provide
such a positive and constructive environment for kids to play the game they love.The Howell's have
provided a tremendous location where kids are taught invaluable lessons such as teamwork, success,
failure, hard work, discipline, and the benefits of physical activity.There continue to be less and less of
these opportunities for kids, especially in a COVID-restricted environment.
Additionally, as a dentist I have over a dozen patients who have played or attended games at the field.
Without exception,they all talk about the experience as an unforgettable event and a venue that will
never be forgotten. It has almost become an institution in local youth baseball circles, truly a "Blackwater
Field of Dreams".
While I understand the requirement for conditional use permit and some of the comments from the
neighbor's complaints,the overall benefits to the community and their children far outweigh these
inconveniences.There are logical compromises that would maintain this invaluable facility for the
community.
The Howell's have sacrificed a tremendous amount of time, effort, and their own money to establish and
maintain this community resource.They are clear{y' net it, it for financial profit.Their interest is only to
provide a safe and convenient place for kids to play baseball. I strongly urge to approve this request for a
use permit to allow for this positive outlet to continue for the benefit of our city's youth.
Sincerely,
a

City of Virginia Beach Council Members:
The purpose of this letter is to provide support for Coach Derek Howell and the continued
operation of Field of Dreams Park. For over 20 years I have served our local community as a
mental health practitioner. I am a father and have coached soccer for over a decade.As a
Licensed Clinical Psychologist,I understand the significant,positive, impact sports have on our
children. As a Licensed Psychologist,I have personally witnessed the negative impact children
experience when they have no outlets to mitigate the stressors that children often experience.
Sports,are an excellent outlet where children learn to cooperate with others,learn perseverance,
improve their physical health, and learn lessons and create friendships that will last a lifetime.
Council members,we are in unprecedented times and the amount of loss that our children have
experienced, in the last year, has been devastating. Sports and specifically baseball,have
provided some semblance of routine and fun that children so desperately need to maintain their
mental health. As you decide on the future of the Field of Dreams Park,please consider the loss
our local children would continue to experience and the negative impact these changes could
have on the mental health of the children who have used this field for the last several years.
Very Respectfully,

Dear Mr. Howell:
As I was reading the paper, I came upon an article in the Princess Anne Independent about you.
Congratulations on a great story about your Blackwater Field of Dreams!
I loved reading your story about growing up loving the movie and then having a dream of a baiifield
yourself. I've always been a big fan of baseball and coached my sons growing up. My wife and I
continued playing softball to keep our game alive. I hope your children and family love having it, and I
imagine the Titans enjoy using it as well.
Again, congratulations on a great story about your Blackwater Field of Dreams! Please contact my office
if there is anything that I can do to assist you on a state issue both personally or professionally.
Is this heaven? Nape it's Blackwater.

Mrs.Henley,
Please share this with the other council members at the April 14 Meeting.
We live on Blackwater Road and are neighbors of Derrick and Nicole Howell living across
the street from their residence. It is our understanding there is a possibility of
Blackwater Field of Dreams being closed down.
We haven't had any issues with noise or traffic related to children playing baseball on
this field. It is our belief that anything we,as adults,can do to keep children off the
streets and physically active is in the best interest of all concerned.
Please find it in your hearts to allow this couple to continue offering this worthwhile
activity to these children.
Thank you,
Lou and Lena Sexton

Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I am writing to you today to express my position on the Conditional Use Permit for"The Field of
Dreams" baseball field in Blackwater being discussed at Council.
This baseball field has impacted hundreds of players and their families over the years. "Field of
Dreams" is more than just a baseball field. It is a place where kids get to be kids and learn how
to be good citizens. They learn what it means to be a part of a team and experience first hand
how dedication and effort impact their success. When they are on this field, they are not getting
in trouble, or playing video games. Countless families come together and experience the
outdoors here.
Derrick and Nicole Howell pour their hearts into this field. They spend their own time and
money maintaining it. Their property is always clean and free of trash. The Howells work hard
to ensure a location for games and practices to safely take place. Neighbors are not affected by
parking as it is done on site. In fact, many stop by on the weekends to enjoy and partake in the
cheering on of the players.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter!
Very Respec tful�c_,._

To: Virginia Beach Planning Commission
My son has been a member of the Virginia Beach Knight's baseball team, now 12U, for the past four
years and has had the privilege of playing ball at the Blackwater field. He has matured and grown as a
baseball player and a young man thanks in part to the opportunity provided to participate in sports at
the Howell's baseball field.The field has served many kids and families from the community,offering a
safe and structured recreational outlet for kids to learn the game of baseball and the life lessons that
accompany playing sports.
The Howell's are a great family and through the years they have provided a place for kids to play sports
and learn fundamental life virtues like dedication, discipline, effort, perseverance and sportsmanship as
well as experience the joys brought on by spirited competition.The Howell's have opened their property
to countless families in the area for their sons to participate in the great game of baseball.They have
graciously hosted games and personally subsidized the costs associated with keeping the field in good
condition for competitive baseball. For the entire time that we've played at the Blackwater field,the
Howell's have been respectful of the neighbors,their property is always well manicured with the lawn
trimmed, and the games are always during the daytime with weekend games completed well before
dusk.
We appreciate your time and wish I could have attended the public hearing in person but was unable to
due to my work.We are 100%in support of granting the Conditional Use Permit for the baseball field
continuance for the players of tomorrow and for all the good that it does for the Virginia Beach
community.
Sincerely,

Good evening,
o I wanted to reach out to please encourage you to allow the field on Blackwater
Field of Dreams to stay.The kids have enjoyed playing there. It is a great place
for kids to have fun and stay out of trouble.The kids practice there during the
week and play games maybe a couple times a month. We don't play every
weekend nor any earlier that 10.The parents from both teams are respectful
and do not park anywhere near their side. In fact the owners have put up a
barrier so the parents can't access that way to the field.As for balls going in
their yard I have had my own child yelled and cussed at from this neighbor when
trying to retrieve a ball from his 6 acre home.This is not a pleasant man and in
fact I think it is hilarious that a man that never comes out of his home ever,goes
on Facebook to steal pictures to provide for you.We actually tried to do a camp
out with the kids in the fall.Just to do a bonding experience for the kids. We had
1 fire and multiple tents and by 9 he was calling the cops.The kids loved this
experience to have with their friends/teammates. I hope that you can see that
this is an unpleasant man that has it out for their neighbor for other reasons and
to not punish our kids. Not one other neighbor has complained!Thank you for
your time!

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 207 AND 232 OF THE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO COMMUNICATION TOWERS, SMALL CELL
FACILITIES, AND BUILDING MOUNTED ANTENNAS.
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2021
• Background:
This proposed ordinance will bring the Zoning Ordinance into consistency with
State and Federal regulations at this time regarding the review and associated fees
for communication towers. The ordinance will distinguish between an
administrative and standard review process. The administrative process will be for
communication towers less than fifty (50)feet in height and will have an associated
fee of three-hundred-and-fifty (350) dollars. A communication tower over fifty (50)
feet in height will go through the standard review process, much like that for a
conditional use permit, and will have an associated fee of one-thousand-fifty
(1 ,050) dollars. Additionally, the City Zoning Ordinance will align with state and
federal requirements that visual tests (balloons) are no longer required, however,
may be provided if the applicant chooses. This ordinance does not affect small cell
towers, which remain a by-right use.
• Considerations:
This ordinance will bring the Virginia Beach City Code into compliance with all
State and Federal regulations for communication towers. The amendment will
update the existing language and relocate some sections so that the Zoning
Ordinance is consistent with other legislation. Further details pertaining to the
ordinance, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to recommend approval of this request.

approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
1
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? All right, so we have motion by Mr. Wall, a second by
Mrs. Klein. You're ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.

Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent Mr. Coston?

Mr. Wall: Aye.

Mr. Weiner: Aye.
Madam Clerk: By recorded vote of nine in favor and zero against, Agenda Items 2, 3, 4, 5 9, 10,
11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 have been recommended for approval by consent. Agenda Item Number
18, 23, 26 and 28 have with a recorded vote of eight in favor, zero against and one abstention for
each agenda item have been recommended for approval by consent.

agenda. They will be scheduled in the future to be on City Council agenda. Now we will move to
the items that we will hear. Madam Clerk will take care of that, please.

City of Virginia Beach -An Ordinance to Amend the City Zoning Ordinance Sections 301,
401, 501, 601, 701, 801, 901, 1001, 1501, 1521, 1531, 2203 and Sections 5.2, 5.2.16, and
5.3.17 of the Form Based Code, Oceanfront Resort District Pertaining to Communication
Towers, Small Cell Facilities, Building Mounted Antenna and Temporary Towers
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, we're going to move to Agenda Item Number 4. Is there a representative for this item?
Please state your name for the record.
Ms. Wilson: Deputy City Attorney Kay Wilson.
Mr. Wall: Okay, this is City of Virginia Beach an Ordinance to amend the City's Zoning Ordinance
Sections 301, 401, 501, 601, 701, 801, 901, 1001, 1501, 1521, 1531, 2203 and sections 5.2,
5.2.16 and 5.3.17 in the Form-Based Code, Oceanfront Resort District pertaining to
communication towers, small cell facilities, building mounted antenna and temporary towers.
Ms. Wilson: What we had to do here is go through the use tables for all of the Zoning Districts
and make a determination as to whether towers and their iterations should be conditional or
permitted. Most of them are permitted unless they are a standard review tower, which is any tower
over 50 feet, and so they would be done like a CUP. We had already taken out a lot of the things
that we were normally seeing with these communication towers; balloon tests, landscaping, but
to the credit of the people who own the cell towers,they have been doing this anyway even though
they're not required to do so.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the Consent
Agenda? Hearing none, we're going to move to the next item on the agenda.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. All right, the Planning Commission also places the following
applications for 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. The Staff and
Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in opposition.
These include Consent Agenda Items Number 23, 26 and 28.
So yep, that was the last item on the Consent Agenda. Okay. So, with that being said, I move for
approval of agenda items 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and on the Short-Term Rental,
Consent Agenda 23, 26 and 28.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: I second.
1
Mr. Weiner: Seconded by Mrs. Klein. And I think we have a couple of abstentions here.
Mr. Graham: Thank you Chairman. Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interest Act, I make the following declaration. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the
Planning Commission's discussion and vote on Agenda Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, on
Agenda Item 17, Oceanfront Investors and Agenda Item 18 Festival, LLC. The applicants have
financing through Towne Bank at 297 Constitution Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 and I am
on a committee at Towne Bank. However, I am not involved in any decisions made at the bank
nor do I have a direct financial interest in the bank.
As such, I have made this disclosure and believe that I can participate in these transactions fairly,
objectively and in the public interest and will participate and vote on these items. Please record
this declaration in the official records of the Planning Commission. And then I have another item
here. I am making this disclosure regarding the discussion and vote on the application of Short-
Term Rentals. These are Agenda Items 19 through 28.
I am abstaining because I believe until City Council has heard Planning Commission's
recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals in the Old Beach area, as well as Planning
Commission's recommendation regarding Short Term Rentals from the March 2021 public
hearing, we should not hear another Short-Term Rental. I believe this is necessary to provide
guidance to the Planning Commission so that we are able to be consistent. I do not have a conflict
requiring me to abstain. A written disclosure of this will be provided tomorrow for inclusion in the
Planning Commission's formal record. I am a Planning Commission member for the Lynnhaven
district.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, anybody else? Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: Yes, likewise, with regard to the conflicts of interest act, I also am a member of the
Virginia Beach Advisory Board of Towne Bank and I make the following declaration with regard
to Item 15, Derek and Nicole Howard, Item 17, Oceanfront Investments, Number 18, Festival,
LLC and I've made this disclosure and believe I can participate in this application and decision
making fairly and objectively and in the public interest, and I will participate and vote on those
items.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ms. Oliver?
Ms. Oliver: Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act, I make the
following declaration; I've chosen to abstain from discussing and voting on Item Number 18, The
Festival, LLC, 712 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia on the 14th of April 2021 Planning
Commission Agenda. I'm party to a court case that is unrelated to this application but a
representative of the applicant is involved in the case and I've chosen to abstain to avoid any
appearance of conflict. Thank you.
