AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Add Student Members to the Green Ribbon Committee
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: The City Council created the Green Ribbon Committee to advise
the City Council on matters relating to the improvement of water quality in the City's
waterways. Water quality impacts all residents, and continued efforts to improve water
quality will be needed for the foreseeable future. Providing students who have a
demonstrated interest in improving water quality and environmental sustainability with
the opportunity to serve as members of the Committee would benefit the City, the
Committee, and the students. The Environmental Studies Program at the Chesapeake
Bay Foundation's Brock Environmental Center enables students to expand their
understanding of sustainable economics and business innovation, environmental
sustainability and natural resource stewardship, and that program may be a source for
identifying potential student members of the Committee.
• Considerations: This resolution provides that the membership of the
Committee shall include two high school students, who will be voting members and will
be appointed to one-year terms.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 1-3 AND 1-30 OF APPENDIX D,
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERTAINING TO THE STORMWATER
APPEALS BOARD AND SECTION 1.2 OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DESIGN
STANDARDS MANUAL PERTAINING TO VARIANCES
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
The Stormwater Appeals Board was initially created in compliance with state law
changes to stormwater regulations in 2014. The Board consists of three citizen
members and three City staff members representing Planning, Public Works and
Public Utilities. After hearing feedback regarding the make up of the board from
the development community, changes were presented to City Council on June 1,
2021 and this ordinance reflects that proposal. All voting members of the board
are proposed to be citizens with a background in "sciences, earth science, soil
science, natural resources, chemistry, or other commensurate professional or
educational background." It also requires that members shall not be actively
involved in the submission of stormwater applications to the City. The proposed
ordinance designates the Departments of Planning and Public Works as staff
liaisons to the board with Planning serving as the primary contact for the appeal
process for private development. The ordinance states hearings for appeals will
be scheduled within 60 days of receiving the written appeal application.,
establishes a $500 application fee, and the ordinance also establishes findings for
which the board shall review appeals against.
The second ordinance amends the Public Works Design Standards Manual appeal
process. Currently, the manual allows for those denied a variance request to the
stormwater requirements (Chapter 8) by either Planning or Public Works to be
appealed to the Director of Public Works. This amendment changes the
requirement to direct appeals to Public Works Design Standards, Chapter 8
variance decisions to the Stormwater Appeals Board. The Stormwater Appeals
Board will only be permitted to hear appeals to decisions made by an Administrator
relative to the Stormwater Management Ordinance or Public Works Design
Standards Manual variance decisions
■ Considerations:
The amendments set forth a more detailed process for appeals and which agency
will process the appeal request. It also allows for the board to hear appeals to
variance decisions of both the Stormwater Management Ordinance and Chapter 8
Stormwater Appeals Board Ordinance Amendments
Page 2 of 2
of the Public Works Design Standards Manual pertaining to stormwater
requirements. The changes to the make up of the board will allow for more
independent review of appeals and will remove staff as voting board member. The
proposed changes reflect discussions with the City Council Liaison.
The proposed ordinance revisions were shared with the Coastal Virginia Building
Industry Association (CVBIA). Comments from CVBIA were received and are
attached.

Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance revisions.

Community
Sections 1-3 and 1-30 of Appendix D
The Board makeup excludes the development community (or at least people "actively
involved in the submission of stormwater applications"). We strongly recommend including a
civil engineer with a background in site design/stormwater. Do the qualifications apply to
only 3 of the members or all five?
A. The timeline of "...within 30 days after notice of such action..."; lots of these issues are
informal discussions, comment letters which get challenged, or telephone calls without an
obvious "event" where the 30 day clock would start ticking. What exactly would be "..such
action ... given by the Administrator"?
B. "But should be scheduled within sixty (60) days of the notice of appeal" Is the Board
meeting held, or is it just "scheduled" within 60 days? If an application for a hearing must
be requested within 30 days of notice by the Administrator, why shouldn't the Board meet
within 30 days?
E. "The Board's authority is to determine whether the department (Public Works or
Planning) was correct in its granting or denial of a variance..." Will the Board review every
variance granted? Otherwise why would one appeal an approval?
Is there an "application" template for a Board hearing?
Have you developed guidelines for the Board (or the Planning / Public Works staff) to use to
evaluate a request?
Section 1.2 of Public Works Standards Design Manual
1.a.ii. "Variances after plan approval will not be considered" - Does this mean we have to go
through a variance request process with the DSC or Public Works first, and only if denied do
we THEN make application to the Stormwater Appeals Board?
Also, there could possibly be a scenario where one gets a plan approved, so that you are
assured the project can be built, secure the property and financing, and then go back for
the variance or the appeal to redesign the inappropriate stormwater.
1.a.iii conflicts with 1.b.i.4).
In reading Section 1.2, it seems like you have to apply for the variance, be denied, and then
make an appeal to the Stormwater Appeals Board. Appendix D 1-30 A. allows a request for
a hearing by the SAB to "aggrieved by any action of the City taken in regard to the
Ordinance" - no variance application or denial required? This is confusing.

be determined by the City Manager, shall be in denominations of$5,000 and integral multiples
thereof and shall be numbered R-1 upward as appropriate. The Bonds if issued as separate series

dates determined by the City Manager. Principal shall be payable to the registered owners upon

Initially, one Bond certificate for each maturity of the Bonds shall be issued to and
registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or its
nominee. The City has heretofore entered into a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations relating
to a book-entry system to be maintained by DTC with respect to the Bonds. "Securities
Depository" shall mean DTC or any other securities depository for the Bonds appointed pursuant
to this Section 2.
In the event that (a)the Securities Depository determines not to continue to act as the
securities depository for the Bonds by giving notice to the Registrar, and the City discharges its
responsibilities hereunder, or (b) the City, in its sole discretion, determines (i) that beneficial
owners of Bonds shall be able to obtain certificated Bonds or (ii)to select a new Securities
Depository, then the City's Director of Finance shall, at the direction of the City Manager,
attempt to locate another qualified securities depository to serve as Securities Depository and
authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the new Securities Depository or its nominee, or
authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the beneficial owners or to the Securities
Depository participants on behalf of beneficial owners substantially in the form provided for in
Section 5; provided, that such form shall provide for interest on the Bonds to be payable
(A) from the date of the Bonds if they are authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, or
(B) from the interest payment date that is or immediately precedes the date on which the Bonds
are authenticated (unless payment of interest thereon is in default, in which case interest on such
Bonds shall be payable from the date to which interest has been paid). In delivering certificated
Bonds, the City's Director of Finance shall be entitled to rely on the records of the Securities
Depository as to the beneficial owners or the records of the Securities Depository participants
acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Such certificated Bonds will then be registrable,
transferable and exchangeable as set forth in Section 7.
So long as there is a Securities Depository for the Bonds, (1) it or its nominee shall be the
registered owner of the Bonds, (2)notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Resolution,
determinations of persons entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest,
transfers of ownership and exchanges, and receipt of notices shall be the responsibility of the
Securities Depository and shall be effected pursuant to rules and procedures established by such
Securities Depository, (3) the Registrar and the City shall not be responsible or liable for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, its
participants or persons acting through such participants, (4)references in this Resolution to
registered owners of the Bonds shall mean such Securities Depository or its nominee and shall
3
not mean the beneficial owners of the Bonds, and (5)in the event of any inconsistency between
the provisions of this Resolution and the provisions of the above-referenced Blanket Issuer Letter
of Representations, such provisions of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, except to the
extent set forth in this paragraph and the next preceding paragraph, shall control.
3. Redemption Provisions.
(a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity
at the option of the City Manager, in whole or in part, at any time on and after dates, if any,
determined by the City Manager, with the first such optional redemption date beginning no later
than September 1, 2031 as set forth in Section 2 at a redemption price equal to the principal
amount to be redeemed, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, plus
a redemption premium, if any, not to exceed 2% of the principal amount to be redeemed, such
redemption premium to be determined by the City Manager in consultation with the Financial
Advisor.
(b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. Any term bonds may be subject to
mandatory sinking fund redemption upon terms determined by the City Manager.
If so determined by the City Manager, the Bonds may provide that the City may take a
credit against the mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation of any maturity of term Bonds
in the amount of Bonds of the same maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered
for cancellation and have not been applied previously as such a credit. If the City wishes to take
such a credit, on or before the 70th day next preceding any such mandatory sinking fund
redemption date, the City's Director of Finance may instruct the Registrar to apply a credit
against the City's mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for any Bonds of the applicable
maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation by the City and have
not been previously applied as a credit against any mandatory sinking fund redemption
obligation for that maturity of the Bonds. Each Bond so previously optionally redeemed or
surrendered shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the principal
amount of such maturity of the Bonds required to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund
redemption date or dates for such maturity as may be selected by the Director of Finance.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for
optional redemption, the maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's
Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If
less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Bonds within
such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the Securities Depository pursuant to its rules
and procedures or, if the book-entry system is discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by
lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine. In either case, (a)the portion
of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of$5,000 or some integral multiple
thereof and (b) in selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing
that number of Bonds that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000.
(d) Redemption Notices. The City shall cause notice of the call for redemption
identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by electronic transmission,
facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, not less than 30
4
nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner of the Bonds. The
City shall not be responsible for providing notice of redemption to anyone other than DTC or
another qualified Securities Depository or its nominee unless no qualified Securities Depository
is the registered owner of the Bonds. If no qualified Securities Depository is the registered owner
of the Bonds, notice of redemption shall be provided to the registered owners of the Bonds. If a
portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof.
4. Execution and Authentication. The Bonds shall be signed by the manual or
facsimile signature of the Mayor or Vice-Mayor, shall be countersigned by the manual or
facsimile signature of the City Clerk or Deputy Clerk, and the City's seal shall be affixed thereto
or a facsimile thereof printed thereon;provided, that if both of such signatures are facsimiles, no
Bond shall be valid until it has been authenticated by the manual signature of the City Treasurer,
as Registrar, or an authorized officer or employee of any bank or trust company serving as
successor Registrar and the date of authentication noted thereon.
5. Bond Form. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form attached to this
Resolution as Exhibit A, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not
inconsistent with this Resolution as may be approved by the officers signing the Bonds, whose
approval shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery of the Bonds.
6. Pledge of Full Faith and Credit. The full faith and credit of the City are
irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds. Unless other funds are lawfully available and appropriated for timely payment of the
Bonds, the City Council shall levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax, over and above all other
taxes authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, on all locally
taxable property in the City sufficient to pay when due the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds.
7. Registration, Transfer and Owners of Bonds. The City Treasurer is appointed
paying agent and registrar for the Bonds (the"Registrar"). The City may appoint a qualified bank
or trust company as successor paying agent and registrar of the Bonds. The Registrar shall
maintain registration books for the registration and registration of transfers of the Bonds. Upon
presentation and surrender of any Bonds at the office of the Registrar, or at its designated
corporate trust office if the Registrar is a bank or trust company, together with an assignment
duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney or legal representative in
such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar, the City shall execute, and the Registrar shall
authenticate, if required by Section 4, and shall deliver in exchange, a new Bond or Bonds
having an equal aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations, of the same form and
maturity, bearing interest at the same rate and registered in the name as requested by the then
registered owner thereof or its duly authorized attorney or legal representative. Any such transfer
or exchange shall be at the expense of the City, except that the Registrar may charge the person
requesting such transfer or exchange the amount of any tax or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect thereto.
The Registrar shall treat the registered owner as the person or entity exclusively entitled
to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and the exercise of all other rights and
5
powers of the owner, except that interest payments shall be made to the person or entity shown
as owner on the registration books as of the Record Date.
8. Sale of Bonds. The City Council approves the following terms of the sale of the
Bonds. The Bonds shall be sold by competitive bid in a principal amount to be determined by the
City Manager, in collaboration with the Financial Advisor, and subject to the limitations set forth
in Sections 1 through 3, and the City Manager shall receive bids for the Bonds and award the
Bonds to the bidder providing the lowest "true" or "Canadian" interest cost, subject to the sale
provisions and limitations set forth in Section 2. Following the sale of the Bonds, the City
Manager shall file a certificate with the City Clerk setting forth the final terms of the Bonds. The
actions of the City Manager in selling the Bonds shall be conclusive, and no further action with
respect to the sale and issuance of the Bonds shall be necessary on the part of the City Council.
9. Notice of Sale. The City Manager, in collaboration with the Financial Advisor, is
authorized and directed to take all proper steps to advertise the Bonds for sale substantially in

consider to be in the best interest of the City.

Bonds, a copy of which has been provided or made available to each member of the City
Council, is approved as the form of the Preliminary Official Statement by which the Bonds will
be offered for sale, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent
with this Resolution as the City Manager, in collaboration with the Financial Advisor, may
consider appropriate. After the Bonds have been sold, the City Manager, in collaboration with
the Financial Advisor, shall make such completions, omissions, insertions and changes in the
Preliminary Official Statement not inconsistent with this Resolution as are necessary or desirable
to complete it as a final Official Statement for the Bonds, execution thereof by the City Manager
to constitute conclusive evidence of his approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions
and changes. The City shall arrange for the delivery to the purchaser of the Bonds of a
reasonable number of copies of the final Official Statement by the earlier of seven business days
after the Bonds have been sold or the date of issuance thereof, for delivery to each potential
investor requesting a copy of the Official Statement and for delivery to each person to whom
such purchaser initially sells Bonds.
11. Official Statement Deemed Final. The City Manager is authorized, on behalf of
the City, to deem the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement in final form for
the Bonds, each to be final as of its date within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 ("Rule 15c2-12") of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), except for the omission in the
Preliminary Official Statement of certain pricing and other information permitted to be omitted
pursuant to Rule 15c2-12. The distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official

12. Preparation and Delivery of Bonds. After bids have been received and the
Bonds have been awarded to the winning bidder, the officers of the City are authorized and
directed to take all proper steps to have the Bonds prepared and executed in accordance with
their terms and to deliver the Bonds to the purchaser thereof upon payment therefor.
13. Arbitrage Covenants. The City covenants that it shall not take or omit to take
any action the taking or omission of which will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within
the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations
issued pursuant thereto (the"Code"), or otherwise cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in
the gross income of the registered owners thereof under existing laws. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with any provision of law that may require the
City at any time to rebate to the United States any part of the earnings derived from the
investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, unless the City receives an opinion of nationally
recognized bond counsel that such compliance is not required to prevent interest on the Bonds
from being includable in the gross income of the registered owners thereof under existing law.
The City shall pay any such required rebate from its legally available funds.
14. Non-Arbitrage Certificate and Elections. Such officers of the City as may be
requested are authorized and directed to execute an appropriate certificate setting forth the
reasonably expected use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds in order to show that such
reasonably expected use and investment will not violate the provisions of Section 148 of the
Code, and any elections such officers deem desirable regarding rebate of earnings to the United
States, for purposes of complying with Section 148 of the Code. Such certificate and elections
shall be in such form as may be requested by bond counsel for the City.
15. Limitation on Private Use. The City covenants that it shall not permit the
proceeds of the Bonds or the facilities financed with the proceeds of the Bonds to be used in any
manner that would result in (a) 5% or more of such proceeds or of the facilities financed with
such proceeds being used in a trade or business carried on by any person other than a
governmental unit, as provided in Section 141(b) of the Code, (b) 5% or more of such proceeds
or the facilities being financed with such proceeds being used with respect to any output facility
(other than a facility for the furnishing of water), within the meaning of Section 141(b)(4) of the
Code, or (c) 5% or more of such proceeds being used directly or indirectly to make or finance
loans to any person other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141(c) of the Code;
provided, that if the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any
such covenants need not be complied with to prevent the interest on the Bonds from being
includable in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the registered owners thereof
under existing law, the City need not comply with such covenants.
16. Post-Issuance Compliance. The Post Issuance Compliance Procedures
established as directed by resolution of the City Council adopted on March 13, 2012 and as
amended from time to time will apply to the Bonds to ensure that the proceeds of the Bonds and
the projects financed with such proceeds are used in compliance with the provisions of federal
tax law applicable to tax-exempt governmental obligations.
17. Continuing Disclosure Agreement. The Mayor, the City Manager and such
officer or officers of the City as either may designate are hereby authorized and directed to
7
execute and deliver a continuing disclosure agreement setting forth the reports and notices to be
filed by the City and containing such covenants as may be necessary to assist the purchaser of
the Bonds in complying with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12. Such continuing disclosure
agreement shall be substantially in the form attached as an Appendix to the draft of the
Preliminary Official Statement described in Section 10 above, which form is approved with such
completions, omissions, insertions and changes that are not inconsistent with this Resolution.
The Mayor, the City Manager and such other officers of the City as either may designate are
further authorized to the extent necessary or appropriate to develop, implement or enhance
procedures to ensure compliance with the City's undertakings related to Rule 15c2-12 for all
obligations issued and to be issued by the City to which such Rule applies.

in conformity with the purposes and intent of this Resolution and in furtherance of the issuance
and sale of the Bonds are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed. The City Manager or his
designee is authorized to transfer funds to the City of Virginia Beach Public Schools for projects
to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds, and any funds previously transferred for such
purpose is hereby ratified, confirmed and shall be reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds. The
officers of the City are authorized and directed to execute and deliver all certificates and
instruments and to take all such further action as may be considered necessary or desirable in
connection with the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds.

Commonwealth of Virginia ("SNAP") in connection with the investment of certain of the

that within thirty (30) days after the notice is given, the Temporary Encroachment must
be removed from the Encroachment Area by the Grantee; and that the Grantee will bear
all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee shall

in case it shall be necessary to file or defend an action arising out of the construction,
location or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein contained

encroachment by anyone other than the Grantee.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee agrees to

and charge the cost thereof to the Grantee, and collect the cost in any manner provided
by law for the collection of local or state taxes; may require the Grantee to remove the
Temporary Encroachment; and pending such removal, the City may charge the Grantee
for the use of the Encroachment Area, the equivalent of what would be the real property
tax upon the land so occupied if it were owned by the Grantee; and if such removal shall
not be made within the time ordered hereinabove by this Agreement, the City may impose
a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day for each and every day
that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed to continue thereafter, and may collect such
4

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM i
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $762,600 in Fund Balance from the Police Federal
& State Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund for Police Equipment and
Training
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: The Virginia Beach Police Department requests that the City
Council approve the use of $762,600 in fund balance from the Police Federal & State
Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund to purchase the following items not funded
through the Virginia Beach Police Department's FY 2021-2022 Operating Budget:
• Digital Evidence Examiner— $200,000
The digital evidence examiner is needed to assist the Police Special
Investigations and Detective Bureaus in the retrieval of evidence from locked
devices and smartphones that are subject to a lawfully issued search warrant.
Devices are increasingly complex, and the special software is required for
comprehensive and thorough investigations. This technology would expand in-
house forensic capabilities, which would be a contrast to current operating
practices, wherein the Police Department must solicit external partners who are
willing to accommodate investigative needs.
• Private Helicopter Pilot Training — $162,600
The Police Department presently suffers from a lapse of trained pilots, and this
gap must be addressed immediately. Under current policy, the City's in-house
certification model takes almost three years for a pilot to become fully trained.
Using private training would condense this timeframe to four months. Private
helicopter certification is needed for two pilots, and Certified Flight Instructor
training is required for one pilot.
• SWAT Special Mission Vehicle — $400,000
The City's current SWAT armored rescue vehicle, which is used in high-risk
situations, dates to 2005 and now exceeds the manufacturer's recommended life
cycle. Repair of components of the vehicle are no longer cost effective.
Presently, the vehicle requires the complete replacement of its air conditioning
unit and upgrades and enhancements for various external protection items. Thus,
the City Garage has endorsed the purchase of a new vehicle. The estimated time
needed for the vehicle to be built and delivered is 12 to 18 months.
• Considerations: According to the United States Department of Justice, seized
asset funds are to be used to provide law enforcement agencies monetary resources to
assist in accomplishing their mission, but cannot be used to supplant local funding.
Rather, seized asset resources must be above and beyond City funding. The
aforementioned items were not funded in the adopted FY 2021-22 City budget. There is
sufficient fund balance in the Police Federal & State Seized Assets Special Revenue
Fund to cover the amount requested in this action.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Grant Funds to the Department of
Parks and Recreation for Continued Financial Empowerment Programs in the
Summer Youth Employment Program
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: The Parks and Recreation Department Youth Opportunity Office
(YOO) leads the eight-week long Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). The
SYEP has been providing summer employment opportunities for young people for more
than eight years. Throughout that time, the YOO has placed an emphasis on the
financial empowerment of participants in the program. Participants in the SYEP take
part in a week-long training that provides several financial education components.
The YOO has completed the Summer Jobs Connect-Expansion Cohort — Part I and Part
II. The two-part program provided technical assistance, a site visit from Cities for
Financial Empowerment (CFE) Staff, and Participation in the CFE Fund's National SJC
Learning Community. While the traditional SYEP was cancelled for the summer of 2020
due to COVID-19, this grant allowed the Department of Parks and Recreation's YOO to
offer virtual financial empowerment classes to program participants in the Fall of 2020.
• Considerations: The Department was recently notified that the CFE wishes to
provide an additional $20,000 to the YOO. This funding will allow the YOO to continue
providing banking access and financial empowerment training to participants in the
SYEP through April 30, 2022. Accepting the grant will allow the YOO staff to enhance
financial initiatives for youth participants and implement them for the 2021 SYEP.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $57,000 for Work Performed through
the Hampton Roads Human Trafficking Task Force and Authorize the Police
Chief to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Office of the Attorney
General
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: The United States Department of Justice's Office of Victim Crime
awarded $525,352 to the Virginia Office of the Attorney General (OAG) as part of the
federal FY 2020 Enhanced Collaborative Model to Combat Human Trafficking
Competitive Solicitation. In turn, the OAG has issued sub-awards to local law
enforcement departments throughout the Commonwealth. The OAG has approved the
Virginia Beach Police Department as a sub-recipient for a minimum of $15,000 of this
funding to support the City's efforts through the Hampton Roads Human Trafficking
Task Force. The award does not come with a maximum, and the grant period is from
October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. These funds will be used for overtime
and training expenses associated with supporting efforts to defend against and
eliminate human trafficking in Virginia Beach.
• Considerations: Funds provided through this grant are based upon actual hours
worked. Since there is no predetermined award ceiling, the Virginia Beach Police
Department estimates grant funding to be approximately $57,000 based on the last
allocation and the amount submitted for reimbursement received by the City.
Additionally, OAG requires a memorandum of understanding with the Police
Department to address reporting of overtime hours and other matters of coordination.

AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate State Funds and to Establish Two
Positions in the Department of Human Services for the Expansion of the System
Transformation Excellence and Performance (STEP-VA) Initiative
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: STEP-VA is a long-term Commonwealth initiative designed to improve
the community behavioral health services available to all Virginians. All 40 Community
Services Boards (CSB) and/or Behavioral Health Authorities (BHA), including the Virginia
Beach Department of Human Services (DHS), are required by statute to provide all STEP-
VA services. The Peer Support Services step was originally scheduled for implementation
in FY 2020-21 but was delayed due to COVID-19. FY 2021-22 funding from the
Commonwealth is $142,482 and will support two FTEs and associated position costs.
Research has shown peer supports have a transformative effect on both individuals and
systems. Such services are effective in improving quality of life, engagement in services,
improvement in health outcomes, decrease of hospitalizations, and overall reductions in
cost of services. Peer Support Specialists assist individuals to become and stay engaged
in recovery processes and reduce the likelihood of relapse. They assist in the
development of goals and plans for recovery, resiliency, and wellness.
Family Support Partners provide services to the parent/caregiver that will benefit the
youth in need of services through education, modeling, active listening, and disclosure of
personal experiences. Services are expected to improve outcomes for the individual's
and family's confidence and capacity to manage their own services and supports while
promoting wellness and healthy relationships.
• Considerations: In the 2021, the General Assembly made available $5.3 million
from the Commonwealth's General Fund specifically earmarked for Peer and Family
Support Services. As a result, DBHDS is providing to VBDHS $142,482 for Peer and
Family Support Services in FY 2022. The funds will cover the cost of both BH/BS
Specialist I positions (including benefits) in addition to computer hardware, cell phone
coverage, and ongoing professional development.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Surplus Funding from the Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Federal Program and to Transfer Funding
from Capital Project #100246, "Lesner Bridge Replacement," to Capital Project
#100537, "Dam Neck Road and Holland Road Intersection Improvements"
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ)
Program provides funds to states for transportation projects designed to reduce traffic
congestion and improve air quality. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
then distributes these funds to the various metropolitan planning organizations, including
the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO). The HRTPO
accepts applications annually to distribute the Hampton Roads district allotment of funds
to localities within the district. Funding for CMAQ projects is programmed six years out
from the time of award.
In July 2017, the City was awarded a total of $2,190,000 ($430,000 in FY 2022-23 and
$1,760,000 in FY 2023-24) for Capital Project #100537, "Dam Neck Road and Holland
Road Intersection Improvements." On May 20, 2021, as part of VDOT's CMAQ
Reconciliation process, the HRTPO Board voted to reallocate surplus funding from
previously completed CMAQ projects to other active projects in the district. The HRTPO
approved a request to transfer $200,000 in surplus FY 2021-22 funds from a completed
project to Capital Project #100537. Legacy CMAQ funds (pre-2006) require a 20% local
match, and because the donor project is legacy, a match of $50,000 from the City is
required. This match will be met by transferring funds from Capital Project #100246,
"Lesner Bridge Replacement."
This additional funding will allow the City to begin design of Capital Project #100537 in
FY 2021-22 instead of FY 2022-23. This project will improve the congested intersection
by adding a second left turn lane from westbound Dam Neck Road to southbound Holland
Road. The improvements will also require reconstruction of the existing refuge island on
the northeast corner of the intersection. The project cost is approximately $2.2 million.
• Considerations: There is sufficient local funding in the completed Lesner Bridge
Replacement project to transfer $50,000 to the Dam Neck Road and Holland Road
Intersection Improvements project to satisfy the City's required local match.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate State Funds and to Establish Five
Positions in the Department of Human Services for the Implementation of the
Marcus Alert System
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: On Nov. 5, 2020, the General Assembly of Virginia passed legislation
that requires localities to establish a specific set of protocols for responding to behavioral
health emergencies. These amendments were passed under the name Marcus Alert,
named after Marcus-David Peters, who was shot and killed by a Richmond police officer
on May 14, 2018. The legislation further requires the Department of Behavioral Health
and Developmental Services (DBHDS), Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS),
Community Services Boards (CSBs), and other community stakeholders such as local
public safety agencies to develop joint protocols for responding to individuals during
behavioral health emergencies.
• Considerations: As one of five initial implementation sites, Virginia Beach will
�eive $600,000 in ongoing annual funding from the Commonwealth to support the
Marcus Alert initiative starting in FY 2021-22. The appropriation must reserve $120,000
for a regional liaison position and related expenses. The remaining $480,000 will be used
to support the local implementation plan, which will include four new positions to support
the expansion of our existing Mobile Co-Responder Team (MCRT), and expand service
hours and crisis stabilization services. Implementation funds will cover two new BHDS
Clinician III positions, one BHDS Clinician II, one BHDS Behavior Specialist position, and
additional time for Police Officers to support expansion of the current MCRT. These funds
will also be used to purchase computer assets for the new positions, a media campaign
fees for public awareness, and staff training.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
\ AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $400,000 from the Fund Balance of the General
Fund to Provide a Grant to the Hampton Roads Workforce Council
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background: As a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Virginia
Beach's tourism industry is experiencing a workforce crisis. There are thousands of
open positions in the City's hotels, restaurants, and attractions businesses. The lack of
available workers creates significant threats to the City's tourism industry. The inability
of businesses to staff against demand can cause businesses to limit hours or reduce
the goods or services provided to customers. Additionally, the lack of staff can strain the
ability of the businesses to deliver a premium destination experience. Collectively,
these challenges create difficulties in marketing the City to visitors and could result in a
loss of current or repeat visitors.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance appropriates $400,000 of fund
balance from amounts that were previously included in the City Council Pandemic
Reserve but lapsed at the end of Fiscal Year 2020-21. The Hampton Roads Workforce
Council has proposed a workforce availability program that includes the following:
• $250,000 for "back to work" cash incentives;
• $100,000 for a marketing campaign, including creative, media, community
relations, and public relations; and
• $50,000 in general administrative expenses.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of DHW Joint Venture, L.L.C. for the Closures
of (1) a 15-foot Street Dedication adjacent to a 50-foot Norfolk & Southern Corp.
right-of-way and (2) a 20-foot Private Road northeast of Tolliver Road
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
DHW Joint Venture, L.L.C. (the "Applicant") owns various parcels of land along
Tolliver Road, which were rezoned by City Council on July 11 , 2017 from R-5D
Residential to Conditional A-36 Apartment District to develop the Burton Station
Apartments (the "Property"). The Applicant has requested the closure of(1) a 400±
sq. ft. unimproved portion of a platted 15-foot street dedicated to the City of Virginia
Beach by M.B. 79, at page 49 recorded on April 29, 1969 (the "Street Dedication")
and (2) a 11,640± sq. ft. 20-foot Private Road (the "Private Road") (collectively, the
"Rights-of-Way"). The Rights-of-Way are located within the Property. No other
parcels are adjacent to or have an interest in the Rights-of-Way.
A portion of the Private Road on an adjacent property was closed on September
20, 2016 by ORD-3463B.
• Considerations:
The purpose of the requested street closures is to clarify the title for
redevelopment. The Rights-of-Way have never been improved or maintained by
the City of Virginia Beach.
The plat for the Street Dedication states that it was dedicated for road purposes,
but no other right-of-way is proximate to this 17.32' x 23.09' parcel. With regard to
the Private Road, the Applicant's title company and the City Attorney's Office were
unable to conclusively determine if there is a public interest. Thus, the closure of
the Rights-of-Way is regarded as a request to clear potential title issues which
could impact future redevelopment of the Property, rather than an extinguishment
of public rights.
The Viewers determined that closure of the Rights-of-Way, with the conditions set
forth below, will not result in any public inconvenience. Staff received no letters
of opposition and there were no speakers at the Planning Commission public
hearing.

Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report.
Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021, the Planning Commission placed this application on the consent
agenda passing a motion to recommend approval with a vote of 7-0.
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Because the
street closures are a formality to clear up a title issue, which could be an
impediment to the redevelopment of the Property, it is recommended that a
purchase price be waived for these closures.
2. The Applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed area of the Street Dedication and the Private Road into
the adjoining parcels. The plat must be submitted and approved for recordation
prior to final street closure approval.
3. The Applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the areas proposed
for closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility
company must be provided.
4. Closures of the Street Dedication and Private Road shall each be contingent
upon compliance with the above stated conditions within 365 days of approval
by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the
final plat is not approved within one year of the City Council vote to close the
proposed areas, this approval shall be considered null and void.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is seeking to close a 397.84 square foot area shown on a 1969 plat as "15-foot Dedicated to City of
Virginia Beach for road purposes" (the"Street Dedication")and a 20-foot Private Road established by a 1924 plat
(the"Private Road"). Both areas are adjacent to parcels that were rezoned on July 11, 2017 from R-5D Residential
Duplex District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District to develop the Burton Station Apartments.
• These street closures are requested in order to clear the title for redevelopment.Once the road and street
dedication areas are closed,the titles will vest in the adjoining property owner.
• The 397.84 square foot area of the Street Dedication is not connected to any improved street,does not serve the
public, and it does not provide access to the adjacent properties,which are owned by the applicant.
• The Private Road is approximately 11,640 square feet and has never been dedicated, improved,or maintained by
the City of Virginia Beach.A portion of this Private Road was closed by a Street Closure on September 20, 2016 by
City Council,as identified in Ordinance ORD-3463B.

Evaluation & Recommendation
A Viewers' Meeting was held on April 23, 2021,that included City Staff from the Departments of Public Works, Public
Utilities, Planning&Community Development,and the Office of the City Attorney,to consider this application.The
Viewers determined that the proposed closure,with the required easements reserved to the City,will not result in any
public inconvenience;therefore, closures of the Street Dedication and the Private Road are deemed acceptable.
The Street Dedication and the Private Road have never been dedicated, improved or maintained by the City of Virginia
Beach.Therefore,the City Attorney's Office is uncertain if there is a public interest.These requests for closure are
regarded as a "cleanup" of title that removes any impediment to the redevelopment of the applicant's property rather
than an extinguishment of public rights.
DHW Joint Venture, LLC
Agenda Items 4&5
Page 2
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of the proposed Street Closures subject to the conditions
listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee.The purchase
price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the"Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Because the street closures are a formality to clear
up a title issue,which could be an impediment to the redevelopment of the property, it is recommended that a
purchase price be waived for these closures.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed area of the Street
Dedication and the Private Road into the adjoining parcels.The plat must be submitted and approved for
recordation prior to final street closure approval.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the areas proposed for closure. If private utilities do
exist,easements satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.
4. Closures of the Street Dedication and Private Road shall each be contingent upon compliance with the above stated
conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the
final plat is not approved within one year of the City Council vote to close the proposed areas,this approval shall be
considered null and void.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
resources associated with the site.

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are applications that are recommended for approval
by staff and the Planning Commission concurred. There are no speakers signed
up in opposition. We have 12 items on the consent agenda today. The first two
items are being read together. It is agenda item four and five DHW Joint Venture,
LLC; a street closure for 15 — for 15-foot street dedication and the street closure
for 20 foot private road. It's located in the Bayside District. Is there a representative
for this item?
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair Wall, Chairman, members of the Commission Eddie
Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney representing the applicant. We appreciate this
item being placed on the consent agenda. All the conditions as recommended by
staff are acceptable to my clients. I appreciate Marchelle's good work on this
request. Thank you.
Mr.Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda?
Hearing none, we've asked Mr. Redmond to read this into the record.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you, Mr. Wall, the applicant is seeking to close a 397.84 square foot area
shown on the 1969 plat as 15-foot dedicated to City of Virginia Beach for road
purposes, and a 20-foot private road established by a 1924 plat, the private road.
Both areas are adjacent to parcel that were rezoned on July 11th, 2017, from R-
5D residential duplex district to Conditional A-36 Apartment district to develop the
Burton Station Apartments. This is what we call a housekeeping matter. This small
road will be closed to clear up the title issue and allow the project to be moved
forward. And then financial consideration between the applicant and the City will
happen. It is only 397 feet, so it's not going to be a lot of money. But, they'll work
that out privately between themselves. There is no opposition. There's really
nothing substantive about it beyond that and the Commission therefore, places it
on consent. Thank you, Mr. Wall.
Mr.Wall: Okay,thank you.That was the last item on the regular consent agenda.The Planning
Commission also places the following applications for Conditional Use Permits for
Short Term Rentals on the consent agenda as they meet the applicable
requirements for Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff and Planning
Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in
1
opposition. These include agenda item number 28 Dan & Sara Bailey, agenda item
number 31 Krista L. Woodlock, application number 37 Standard Community LLC,
number 38 William Georghiou and number 39 Andrew Broyles. Those were the last
items on the short-term rental consent agenda.
Mr. Weiner: Make a motion?
Mr. Wall: I move for approval of the following consent agenda items. Agenda item number 4
DHW joint venture.
Mr. Weiner: Just read the numbers.
Mr. Wall: Okay, just read the numbers. Number 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25 as well

underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to
the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,"

closed area of the Street Dedication and the Private Road into the adjoining parcels. The
plat must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure approval.

If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.

considered null and void.

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

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of Ocean Rental Properties, LLC (now known
as ORP Ventures, LLC) for the Closure of Approximately 1 ,151 Sq. Ft. of an
Unimproved Portion of 10th Street (formerly 13th Street) Adjacent to Norfolk
Avenue
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
Ocean Rental Properties, LLC, now known as ORP Ventures, LLC, a Virginia
limited liability company (the "Applicant") requests the closure of approximately
1 ,151 sq. ft. of an unimproved portion of 10th Street (formerly 13th Street) (the
"Right-of-Way"), adjacent to 516 and 518 Norfolk Avenue, for the purpose of
incorporating the Right-of-Way into the adjoining properties.
• Considerations:
On October 20, 2020, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP")
for short term rentals at 516 Norfolk Avenue. However, because the current
parking arrangement was a safety concern, a condition of the CUP required that
the Right-of-Way be approved for closure and incorporated into the adjacent
properties so that the required parking spaces can be safely accommodated.
The Viewers determined that closure of the Right-of-Way, with the conditions set
forth below, will not result in any public inconvenience. There is no known
opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021 , the Planning Commission placed this application on the consent
agenda passing a motion to recommend approval by a recorded vote of 7-0, with
the following conditions:
1. The access point in front of 516 Norfolk Avenue shall be closed and curb and
gutter shall be reinstalled along this portion of Norfolk Avenue.
2. No more than two (2) vehicles shall be parked in front of 516 Norfolk Avenue,
between the building and Norfolk Avenue.
3. A fence shall be installed along the front property line and plantings shall be
planted to screen the parking area.
4. The existing gravel in front of 516 Norfolk Avenue, between the building and
Norfolk Avenue, shall be removed.

encroach into Norfolk Avenue unless an encroachment request is granted by

of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Copies of the
policy are available in the Planning Department.
8. A public utility easement(s), extending 5 feet in each direction of the water
service lines and water meter boxes shall be recorded prior to final street
closure approval.
9. The Applicant shall resubdivide the properties and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the Right-of-Way into the adjoining parcels. The resubdivision plat
must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval.

private utilities exist within the Right-of-Way proposed for the closure. If private

provided.
11.Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the

Background & Summary of Proposal
• On October 20, 2020 City Council approved four Conditional Use Permits for Short Term Rentals at 516 Norfolk
Avenue. A condition of approval was to seek a Street Closure request for the unimproved portion of the right-of-
way in front of 516&518 Norfolk Avenue to improve and provide parking on the subject property and not within
the Norfolk Avenue Right-of-way. As such,the applicant is following through on that request and is working with
the property owners to the east at 518-A&518-B Norfolk Avenue to request a Street Closure in front of both of
these lots.
• The approved parking plan for the Short Term Rentals shows six parking spaces in the rear yard and two parking
spaces in front of 516 Norfolk Avenue. There are four units,totaling five bedrooms, within the building;thereby,
exceeding the parking requirement for Short Term Rental by one space.
• The submitted street closure exhibit shows the proposed closure area to be approximately 1,151 square feet. The
closure area will be incorporated into the two adjacent residential lots.

Evaluation & Recommendation
As required by City Code,a Viewers' Meeting was held on January 4, 2021,that included City Staff from the Departments
of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning and Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney, to consider
this request. A second Viewers' Meeting was held on April 20, 2021 to review alternative street closure layouts
presented by the applicant.The Viewers determined that the proposed closure area, with the recommended conditions,
will not result in a public inconvenience; therefore, closure of this portion of the right-of-way is deemed acceptable.
The approved parking plan associated with the Short Term Rentals shows six parking spaces located in the rear yard of
the property.Access to the rear parking area is by a 16-foot wide access easement located between the property line of
the two lots. Two of the six parking spaces in the rear of the property is designated for Unit B of 518 Norfolk Avenue by
verbal agreement between the property owners. A condition is recommended for the recordation of a parking
agreement for the two spaces located on 516 Norfolk Avenue for Unit B of 518 Norfolk Avenue. There is an existing curb
cut in front of 516 Norfolk Avenue for vehicular access.This access creates an unsafe condition for pedestrian and

AGENDA ITEM j
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of South Lynnhaven, LLC for the Modification of
the Conditions of a Street Closure for a Portion of South Lynnhaven Road
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021 (DEFERRED: June 15, 2021)
• Background:
On August 13, 1984, City Council conditionally approved the closure of
approximately 23,470 sq. ft. of South Lynnhaven Road (the "Street Closure").
Conditions of the Street Closure included 1) reserving an easement to the City for
installation and maintenance of public utilities, and 2) reserving an easement to
the City for access of emergency vehicles (collectively, the "Easements"). On May
20, 1985, City Council adopted an Ordinance for the extension of time to meet the
conditions of the Street Closure and for the final approval of the Street Closure.
South Lynnhaven, LLC (the "Applicant") is the current owner of an undeveloped
parcel of land designated as GPIN: 1496-34-2200 (the "Property"). The Property,
which includes 11 ,694 sq. ft. of the closed area, now contains approximately
19,338 sq. ft. (0.444 ac.) and is zoned B-2 Community Business District.
The Applicant requests that the street closure conditions be modified to remove
the requirement of the Easements on the Property to allow future development of
the Property with a use compatible to the surrounding area.
As requested during the City Council briefing on March 25, 2021, attached are
additional documents that provide details of the Street Closure.
• Considerations:
Approximately 11,694 sq. feet (or 60%) of the Property is encumbered by the
Easements, which makes it difficult to develop. The Property is also
nonconforming, as it contains less than the minimum lot size requirement of 20,000
sq. ft. in the B-2 Community Business District. Modifying the conditions of the
street closure to allow the Easements to be vacated would expand the buildable
area on the Property.
Staff has determined that the Easements are no longer required for a public
purpose; and therefore, supports modifying the street closure conditions that
required the Easements, so long as the Applicant, at its sole expense, either
relocates or abandons any City infrastructure located within the Easements,
subject to approval by the Department of Public Utilities.

Page 2 of 2
One letter of opposition was received from an adjacent property owner, who noted
concerns that the future development on the Property would negatively impact their
property.
• Recommendation:
On May 12, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote
of 7-0, with 1 abstention, to recommend that City Council approve the request for
modification of the 1984 Street Closure conditions by deleting the requirement of
the reserved Easements, with the following conditions:
1 . As to the Applicant's property, the conditions attached to the Street Closure
granted on August 13, 1984 and extended on May 20, 1985, are hereby
deleted.
2. As to the Applicant's property, a Deed of Partial Vacation to vacate the variable
width public utility and emergency vehicle access easements shall be recorded
with City of Virginia Beach Clerk of Circuit Court within 365 days from the date
of City Council action. The Deed of Partial Vacation shall be subject to the
approval of the City Attorney's Office.
3. All City public utility infrastructure within the easement area to be vacated shall
be relocated or abandoned as determined and approved by the Department of
Public Utilities.

• The applicant is requesting a modification of street closure conditions to remove said conditions, allowing the
easements to be vacated in order to increase the buildable area on the site.The applicant proposes to develop the
property into a small office use.
• On August 13, 1984, City Council approved a Street Closure for approximately 23,470 sq. ft. of South Lynnhaven
Road that encompassed a portion of this property with the conditions that (1) an easement be reserved to the City
for installation and/or maintenance of public utilities; (2) an easement be reserved to the City for access of
emergency vehicles; and (3)the closure shall be contingent upon compliance with the above-stated conditions
within 180 days of approval by City Council. On May 20, 1985, City Council approved an extension of time to meet
the street closure conditions and adopted an ordinance for the final approval of the street closure.
• On May 31,1985,the applicant's predecessor in title dedicated the easements as to the applicant's property to the

Evaluation & Recommendation
Staff finds this request to modify the original conditions of the street closure to be acceptable. At 19,338 square feet,
the site currently does not meet the 20,000 square foot minimum dimensional requirements for development in the B-2
zoning district. However,the parcel was legally created prior to the minimum dimensional requirements were put into
place, making the property legally nonconforming. Modifiying the conditions to allow the vacation of easements on the
applicant's property would expand the buildable area on the site. Based on its proximity to other commercial uses,
future development of this parcel into office or retail will be compatible to the surrounding area.The proposal to vacate
the easements on the subject property has been reviewed by the Department of Public Utilities and Department of
South Lynnhaven, LLC

Item #8
South Lynnhaven, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions
877 S. Lynnhaven Road
May 12, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-HEARD
Mr.Weiner: Thank you, Alright, go to item number eight.
Madam Clerk: Item number eight is South Lynnhaven. LLC, an application for a Modification of
Conditions on property located at 877 South Lynnhaven Road in the Rose Hall
District.
Mr.Weiner: Good afternoon, please state your name for the record.
Mr.Wood: Chris Wood, I represent the owner. I'm one of the owners of the property. Thank
you all for taking the time. May I proceed?
Mr.Weiner: Yes sir.
Mr.Wood: This property is very small. It was, as you know, I think in closed session that the
street was closed in 1984. For some reason, I don't know why but they left a couple
of the easements over top of them. One of the easements is for emergency
vehicles, which I've never seen that on a property before. But that was on there.
What we would like to do is remove the easements so we can slide the building to
the left; we have spoken to the adjacent neighbor. I know she had some concerns
about it and I feel like we've got a pretty good relationship with her. I've known her
for a long time. And we will certainly continue to work with her. I don't know if she's
here today. To make sure what we would like to do by closing that easement is
slide the building all the way to the South that will allow us not to have a bunch of
setbacks and block her building at all. And it's really about as simple as that. I know
there was a concern in closed session about not having an elevation of the
building. You know,this is a very small building probably less than 3000 feet.You
know, I don't think it would be proffered anyway. So I'm not sure if there's any
benefit to seeing what the building will look like. But certainly, it'll be a high quality
building. We have been discussing with various professional users like doctors and
dentist, and insurance agents and that type of thing. So that's really about it. It's
pretty simple.
Mr.Weiner: I'll start off on this one, because I was pretty much the one that said, and I had no
idea who the owner was. But we've never approved anything without seeing
elevation. If we had one today that we just said that we needed more information,
1
please go we defer it. They're going to go put things together, they're going to show
us what the lots going to look like, you know,the pavement, elevations. I'm just not
comfortable approving anything without seeing the elevation. I've been doing it for
years now and we've never done that in years.
Mr.Wood: I don't have a problem giving you a sketch, I guess, we wouldn't want to be
proffered in any way.
Mr.Weiner: Sure.
Mr.Wood: When you recommend when you suggest that would be proffered?
Mr.Weiner: No, no, no, I just wanted to see what's gonna go there. I mean, I don't, granted, it's
gonna go to City Council and they're going to make the final decision, but we don't
really, I don't feel comfortable sending this to City Council to say yes, we're gonna
do this. It's gonna be a, maybe there's a building there. We don't know what's
gonna be there. But I just don't feel comfortable sending that to City Council unless
I know what I'm sending the City Council.
Mr.Wood: We'd be happy to do that. It's going to be very difficult because this site is so small
to come up with something that's real and I wouldn't want to mislead anybody by
saying this is what it's going to be. When it's going to be slightly, likely going to be
different than what you know, before we get through the site plan process, but I'm
happy to do that, and we can defer for 30 days if you want but if it's not gonna be
proffered, I'm not sure the point.
Ms. Oliver: I don't have a problem with this. It's a road that's been closed for quite some time
and he said he's sliding the building over. I think I don't have a problem with this.
Mr.Wood: And there is no reason for easements, I mean easements, I don't mean to interrupt,
there's no reason for these easements anyway. They're old and not being used
and we certainly will work with the utilities department.
Mr.Weiner: And I agree with Ms. Oliver. I mean, yes, the building has been there for since
before I was in high school. It's been there that median has been there. So I have
no problem with that, but I mean, what do y'all think? Do you all want to move
forward?I won't stop it.
Mr.Wall: Well, one thing, how long have you owned the property?
Mr.Wood: Five to seven years, something like that.
Mr.Wall: And but you purchased it knowing that there was that easement on the property.
2
Mr.Wood: I can't recall honestly, you know, is a scrap piece of property. We bought it from
Mr. Mastracco who obviously owned a lot of property around there. But yeah, I'm
sure we did know there was an easement there.
Mr.Wall: And that's so your intent is to develop with some kind of a commercial, small
business, you know, on the property. Parking would be achieved on parking
access?
Mr.Wood: All that, yes, sir. We'll be through the site plan approval, no short term rental,
promise you that. But no, it would be all through. It would be all through the site
plan process as far as the parking and the layout and the utilities and all that.
Mr.Weiner: Whitney.
Mr. Graham: Thank you. So just so I'm clear, the idea here is to basically clean the site up as
far as these easements and then to go out and find a doctor or dentist or some
sort of professional user, then do a build to suit or scrape the building or sell the
property, okay.
Mr.Wood: Yes, sir. We would, once we get this cleaned up, we can move forward on a
conceptual site plan and try to find a user.
Mr. Graham: Okay.All right.
Mr.Weiner: Any more questions. Any other questions? Oh I am sorry.
Mr.Coston: Is anything on the building, I mean on the property right now?
Mr.Wood: No, sir. There's no, there is grass, just grass and a tree. I don't think that the picture
on the left is actually I think that's just off of the property. I could be wrong on that,
but it's just basically a grass field.
Mr. Coston: Probably will support, I think that we can trust staff to make sure what gets built
there conforms to the regulations.
Mr.Weiner: And also, just being consistent what we've done in the last eight years I've been
doing this but if you all feel like we're comfortable with it, I will be comfortable with
it, Jack, you have something to add?
Mr.Wall: What utilities do run under through that easement?
Mr.Wood: I can't answer that with certainty. I think I believe that there is a, I can't answer that
with certainty. I'm not sure about this, I know there's, I think there's the, I think there
3
is a water line. I don't think there is sewer. Sewer is down the street and I'm not
exactly sure what's under there.
Mr.Wall: Mr. Morrison, can you, do you have any understanding on the utilities?
Mr.Wood: I know Dominion is overhead there. So I noticed that.
Mr.Wall: Give me one second. I'm sorry. Oh, the sewer is no longer in service? What about
the waterline? What size is that water line?
Mr.Wood: There's a condition to relocate. So we would have to.
Mr.Wall: It is conditioned to have to move it, the condition. Okay. I don't think that paved
area is in the, it is a little misleading that paved area is not part of this application.
I think it's all grass turf areas within the easement. They closed say what is, I'm
just curious with the green, the green box. That's closed portion of South
Lynnhaven Road which is the paved area and is that still public right of way or is
that owned by who owns them, the green area?
Mr. Morrison: The green areas owned by the same person has parcel A with Woodard Realty,
so when it was closed that half was given, was not given, was portioned to
Woodard Realty and the other half was a portion to the applicant's parcel at the
time.
Mr.Wall: And they closed it but they maintain the easement because of those utilities
probably on there, okay.
Mr.Weiner: Any other questions? Any more questions? All right. Thank you, sir.
Mr.Wood: Thank you, sir.
Mr.Weiner: We have no more speakers. No speakers. Open it for discussion or motion.
Ms. Oliver: I'm gonna make a motion.
Mr.Weiner: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: To approve it.
Mr.Weiner: We have a motion for approval. We have a second?
Mr. Coston: Second.
4
Mr.Weiner: Motion for approval by Ms. Oliver and second by Mr. Coston. We have Mr.
Redmond hand up.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Chairman to clarify, I am abstaining from this application. The one of Mr.
Wood's partners is a colleague, a work colleague of mine who I am partners with
on other projects, I don't have anything to do with this but it probably best that I
abstain from this and in fact abstain from the shortcoming, the shortly to be
considered short term rental applications on there. Yeah, I know, but I am gonna
leave as my point.
Mr.Weiner: All right, we are ready to vote.

Good Morning,Mr.Morrison.
Thank you for your quick response.It is going to take me some time to find our paperwork on that street closure. I know it was my
father and I believe thc previous owner.Vincent Mastracco.Sr.who petitioned thc City for the street closure.Our portion has been
included in our assessment so we have been paying taxes on our part as well. Just how does this affect our portion of the closed
street?
This notice and lack of knowledge to their cnd game plan is not giving me enough time to research and look into how this will affect
our property.I have tried to find copies of thc proposed plans.etc.online.but can not find anything other than what is stated in the
notice.So for now,I am against this proposal.
1 know the Wood family has tried for years to do something with this tiny panel.but 1 have to consider the impact to my property.

A. Description
Application of John J. Woodard for the discontinuance, closure and
abandonment of a portion of South Lynnhaven Road beginning at the Northern
boundary of Ole Towne Lane, running a distance of 300 feet along the
Western property line, running a distance of 57 feet more or less along the
Northern property line, running a distance of 307.73 feet along the Eastern
property line and running a distance of 110 feet along the Southern
property line. Said parcel contains 23,470 square feet more or less.
PRINCESS ANNE BOROUGH.
B. Administrative Comments
Application for the discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion of
South Lynnhaven Road located directly north of Old Towne Lane. The area
proposed for closure contains 23,470 square feet ( .539 acre) and is an
improved 90 foot right-of-way.
Surrounding zoning is B-2 Community Business District. Land use in the
area is a mixture of retail and commercial uses.
A street closure for a portion of South Lynnhaven Road to the south of this
site was granted on June 21, 1976. This closure was only for surplus
right-of-way and resulted in this portion of South Lynnhaven Road being
reduced to a standard 50 foot right-of-way for a turnaround.
This right-of-way is improved with a two lane pavement section marked for
one way southbound traffic only and includes curb, gutter and sidewalk on
the west side.
A 12 inch water line and an 8 inch sewer force main are located within the
area proposed for closure.
The Fire Department indicates that closure of this street would eliminate
necessary access for emergency vehicles responding to this area.
It is the opinion of the viewers that closure of this street would result
in public inconvenience since:
1. The street currently provides public access for residents and
businesses in the surrounding area.
2. Closure of the street would eliminate necessary emergency access
to this area and would make general circulation more difficult.
C. Evaluation
Based on the findings of the Viewers, recommend this item be denied.

FROM: Robert J. Scott U� DEPARTMENT: Planning
SUBJECT: Report of Viewers - Closure of Portions of Lee Street and Old Country
Road, South Lynnhaven Road, Ego Drive, and Rouse Drive
Lee Street and Old Country Road
Application for the discontinuance, closure and abandonment of portions of
Lee Street and Old Country Road. The area proposed for closure consists of .53
acres and is located within the block bounded on the north by 22nd Street, on
the south by 21st, on the east by Cypress Avenue and on the west by Parks Ave.
Surrounding zoning consists of C-1 Arts and Conference District and B-4
Resort Commercial District. Land use in the area is a mixture of resort commer-
cial uses to the north and south and single family residential to the west.
Portions of this right-of-way are improved with a two lane asphalt roadway.
A two (2) inch water line exists in Lee Street.
City Council has denied previous requests to close these streets on March
14, 1977 and October 18, 1971.
It is the opinion of the viewers that public inconvenience would result from
the closure of these streets since there is a possibility for future public use
as parking and/or improvements to circulation in this area.
South Lynnhaven Road
Application for the discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion of
South Lynnhaven Road located directly north of Old Towne Lane. The area proposed
for closure contains 23,470 square feet (.539 acres) and is an improved 90 foot
right-of-way.
Surrounding zoning is B-2 Community Business District. Land use in the area
is a mixture of retail and commercial uses.
A street closure for a portion of South Lynnhaven Road to the south of this
site was granted on June 21, 1976. This closure was only for surplus right-of-
way and resulted in this portion of South Lynnhaven Road being reduced to a
standard 50 foot right-of-way with a turn around.
Distribution List Memo
June 26, 1984
Page Two
This right-of-way is improved with a two lane pavement section marked for
one way south bound traffic only and includes curb, gutter and sidewalk on the
west side. A 12 inch water line and an 8 inch sewer force main are within the
area proposed for closure.
The Fire Department indicates that closure of this street would eliminate
necessary access for emergency vehicles responding to this area.
It is the opinion of the viewers that closure of this street would result
in public inconvenience since:
1. The street currently provides public access for residents and busi-
nesses in the surrounding area.
2. Closure of the street would eliminate necessary emergency access to
this area and would make general circulation more difficult.
Ego Drive
Application for the discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion
of Ego Drive located east of Matt Lane. The area proposed for closure is a
50 foot unimproved right-of-way that contains 3358.30 square feet (.077 acres) .
Surrounding zoning consists of R-6 Residential District and B-2 Community
Business District. Land Use within the area is single family and duplex resi-
dences with commercial development located to the east along First Colonial
Road.
There are no water and sewer lines located within the area proposed for
closure.
It is the opinion of the viewers that closure of this street will not
result in public inconvenience subject to the following conditions:
1. Resubdivision of the property to incorporate the closed area into
adjoining parcels and to avoid the creation of a conforming lot.
2. Dedication of a 20 foot drainage easement on the centerline of the
existing 50 foot right-of-way.
3. The closure of this right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance
with the above stated conditions with 180 days of the approval by
City Council.
Rouse Drive
Application for the discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion
of Rouse. Drive located east of Grayson Road. The area proposed for closure is
a 30 foot wide improved right-of-way totaling 9,016 square feet (.207 acres) .
It should be noted, however, that it is the intent of the applicant to basic-
ally relocate Rouse Drive since he also intends to dedicate to the City a
parcel of property 42.45 feet to the south of equal size for the continuance
of Rouse Drive.
Distribution List Memo
June 26, 1984
Page Three
Adjacent zoning consists of 0-1 Office District. Land Use within the area
is a mixture of office building and single family residences.
There are no city water or sewer lines in the area proposed for closure.
However, there are VEPCO lines and poles which would have to be relocated at
the applicant's expense.
It is the opinion of the viewers that closure of this portion of Rouse
Drive will not result in public inconvenience subject to the following conditions:
1. Dedication of a standard 50 foot right-of-way to the south for the
relocation of Rouse Drive.
2. Provision of a bond to cover the cost of right-of-way improvements,
as required by City staff, for the relocated Rouse Drive.
3. Resubdivision of the property to incorporate the closed portion into
adjacent parcels to avoid the creation of any nonconforming lots.
4. The closure of this right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance
with the above stated conditions within 180 days of the approval by
City Council

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: PEMBROKE SQUARE ASSOCIATES, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Change of Zoning (B-3 Central Business District to Conditional
CBC Central Business Core) for the property located at the northern portion
of 4554 Virginia Beach Boulevard (GPIN portion of 1477-56-2034). COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant has initiated a multi-phased redevelopment plan for Pembroke Mall
to transition from the conventional, interior-oriented, retail mall format to a higher
density, urban-style, pedestrian-friendly format with a mixture of uses.
Currently, the mall property has two different zoning classifications. The northern
half, which is the subject of this application, is zoned B-3 Central Business District
which does not allow residential uses, including housing for seniors. The southern
half was rezoned to Central Business Core District (CBC) in 2014, following the
Pembroke Strategic Growth Area (SGA) Plan's recommended boundary for the
Core Area of the Central Business District which does recommend a mixture of
uses in this area.
• Considerations:
The proposal reflects the SGA Plan's objective by placing the lower intensity senior
housing facility at the northern corner and transitioning maximum building heights
from north to south. In addition to the proffered senior housing facility, future
development phases will include a mixture of uses as recommended in the
Comprehensive Plan and Pembroke SGA Plan and as permitted by CBC zoning
regulations. 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 June 9, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this
item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 7-0, to
recommend approval of this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant has initiated a multi-phased redevelopment plan for Pembroke Mall to transition from the
conventional, interior-oriented, retail mall format to a higher density, urban-style, pedestrian-friendly format with a
mixture of uses.
• Currently,the mall property has two different zoning classifications.The northern half,which is the subject of this
application, is zoned B-3 Central Business District which does not allow residential uses, including housing for
seniors.The southern half was rezoned to CBC Central Business Core District in 2014 along with the other three
quadrants formed by the Virginia Beach Boulevard/Independence Boulevard intersection.This City-initiated change
of zoning followed the Pembroke SGA Plan's recommended boundary for the Core Area of the Central Business
District. The CBC Zoning District allows for the City's highest densities,tallest buildings, and mixed uses. Although
the split zoning line may appear arbitrary, bifurcating the mall building and parcel,the intent was to ensure that
future redevelopment along the northern edge would provide a transition between the height and density of the
Core District and the single-family residential neighborhood to the north. Hence the Pembroke SGA Plan designated
the northern half of this parcel as the Waterfront subdistrict of the Central Business District, and this area was
excluded from the 2014 rezoning.
• The first phase of the proposed development is a senior living facility on the northeast corner of the property and is
the subject of the accompanying Conditional Use Permit application. Additional phases will be incorporated into the
existing mall structure and property to create a higher density, mixed-use environment as envisioned by the
Pembroke SGA Plan. Building form, placement, and permitted uses will be regulated by the proffer agreement and
Article 22,Central Business Core District,of the City Zoning Ordinance.
• In addition to ensuring the senior housing facility is constructed as depicted in the site plan and elevations
(described in detail in the CUP report),the proffer agreement limits building heights to 35 feet within 40 feet of
Jeanne Street;75 feet for the tallest components of the senior housing facility,and 100 feet between the senior
housing building to approximately the southern intersection of Coporation Lane and Constitution Drive.The
remaining area to the south and at the interior of the parcel have no height limit,just like the entirety of the CBC
District.
• In accordance with recommendations for the Waterfront subdistrict,the proffers also specify a minimum of 10%
open space and 5%green space when the subject area is redeveloped.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The subject site is located within the Waterfront Area of the Central Business District as designated by the Pembroke
SGA Plan.While the majority of the Pembroke Mall property is within the Core Area of the Central Business District (and
already zoned CBC),the northern section was assigned to the Waterfront subdistrict to provide a gradual transition in
scale and height at the edge of the SGA.
The applicant's proposal reflects the plan's objective by placing the lower intensity senior housing facility at the northern
corner and transitioning maximum building heights from north to south. In addition to the proffered senior housing
facility,future development phases will include a mixture of uses as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan and
Pembroke SGA Plan and as permitted by CBC zoning regulations.The applicant has also proffered a minimum
percentage of open space and green space in accordance the the SGA Plan's recommendations.
Based on these considerations, Staff concludes that the proposal is consistent with the City's long term vision, is
compatible with adjacent uses, and will be an asset to the City overall.Therefore, Staff recommends approval of this
request.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The subject property is located within the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area (SGA),the plan for which was originally
adopted 2009.The plan identifies four primary districts:Central Village,Western Campus,Southern Corporate,and the
Central Business District (CBD).The CBD is further divided into a Core Area,Waterfront Area, and Bonney Area.The plan
describes the CBD as a "highly structured urban development framework that concentrates high density commercial
development in the central area,creates a skyline for Virginia Beach and provides for decreasing land use densities as
the distance from the core increases..." (p. 25).While the Core Area "allows for large footprint,zero lot line buildings
and the highest building heights allowable in the City of Virginia Beach" (p. 25),the Waterfront and Bonney subdistricts
transition to"smaller scale, mid to low-rise buildings at the edges" (p.31).The plan specifically encourages
redevelopment of Pembroke Mall to "gradually achieve an urban, pedestrian-friendly design that would effectively
reconnect this site with the fabric of the Pembroke SGA" (p. 27).
Page 58 of the Pembroke SGA Plan provides "form-based code" recommendations for building types, building heights,
open space, and uses for each of the districts and subdistricts. For the Waterfront Area, maximum building heights range
from 50 to 150 feet;open space ranges from 10%to 30%, and green space ranges from 5%to 20%.

Item #20
Pembroke Square Associates, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Rezoning (B-3 Central Business to Conditional CBC Central Business)
Southeastern corner of intersection of Jeanne Street and Constitution Drive
June 9, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the agenda is number 20. Pembroke Square
Associates LLC, they're both the applicant and the property owner. Is there a
representative for this item?
•
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney representing Pembroke
Square Associates on item number 20 as well as item number 21. I remember 20
is a conditional rezoning. So obviously, we agree with our proffers. We appreciate
being on the consent agenda. I want to take just a second to thank Ashby Moss
and director Bobby Tajan for their work with us on this application.And I also would
want to let the commission know, another two records in one — one meeting, the
public outreach on this, they had a, we had a outreach that had YouTube TV, I
think it was over 400 people, either the 30 or so that attended in person on TV
because they could monitor how many people were watching from homes. Over
400 people reviewed this with us about six weeks ago, which that's a lot of people
for public outreach meeting. I appreciate everybody's assistance with this.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. Is there any opposition for this being placed on the consent
agenda? Hearing none, we've asked Mr. Redmond to read this into the record.
Mr. Redmond: Thank you, Mr. Wall. Agenda items number 20 and 21 do two things. One is a
conditional rezoning from B-3 Central Business District to conditional CBC Central
Business Core District. It's a very complex application, I would urge you to read it,
and we would be here for another 45 minutes if you ask me to do all that. This is
the purpose for which we had a Pembroke area strategic growth area plan and
subsequently reside — revised the zoning ordinances and created new zoning
categories was to encourage this type of development at this site and others within
the Pembroke SGA. The second part of this application is the conditional use
permit for a senior housing facility. You can see the renderings here before us. It
is—it is well designed, it's attractive, it fits well on that corner of Jeanne Street and
Constitution Drive, it certainly will be a fit well within —within this district, and I think
provide another option for our citizens to live. Everybody knows there's an
1
enormous shortage of housing in our city and frankly throughout the United States.
The applicant was receptive to some changes to the design of this building that I
think enhanced it and I'm sure it will be a credit to this neighborhood to this district
and to our city as a whole. Therefore, the commission views that this is quite
appropriate for consent and we look forward to its development and all its
contributions and other contributions to come, thank you Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. So these are these are two applications. The first one was
application agenda item number 20, which was for conditional rezoning for B-3
central business to conditional CBC central business, and Mr. Redmond just read
that into the record. Now for agenda item number 21. Its Pembroke Square
Associates, LLC is the applicant property owner for conditional use permit for
housing for seniors are the two conditions that fall?
Mr. Bourdon: Acceptable to client.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent
agenda? And Mr. Redmond, I believe read that one as well and combine them
together.So okay,thank you.The next item on the consent agenda is agenda item
number 24. Marie Strom is the applicant and Aloha LLC is the property owner for
a conditional use permit, tattoo parlor located in the Beach District. Is there a
representative for this item?
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. That was the last item on the regular consent agenda. 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. Staff and Planning
Commission support the applications and there are no speakers signed up in
opposition.These include agenda item number 28 Dan&Sara Bailey,agenda item
number 31 Krista L. Woodlock, application number 37 Standard Community LLC,
number 38 William Georghiou and number 39 Andrew Broyles. Those were the
last items on the short-term rental consent agenda.
Mr. Weiner: Make a motion?
Mr. Wall: I move for approval of the following consent agenda items. Agenda item number
4 DHW joint venture.

Mr. Weiner: Just read the numbers.

AGENDA ITEM

amenity spaces will be provided for residents to include an indoor pool and spa,

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant's proposal for a senior housing facility is acceptable. Senior housing at all care levels is in great demand in
Virginia Beach as our population ages and downsizes. The range of care levels, central location, and urban-style site
layout and architectural design of this proposal will fulfill an untapped niche in our local market. The proposal consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan's stated objective to provide a variety of housing types with a range of affordability in the
SGAs, particularly senior housing. The proposed location in the City's Central Business District is in close proximity to
transportation centers, medical facilities, shopping, dining, and entertainment as recommended by the Comprehensive
Plan.

Agenda Item 21
Page 2
Staff anticipates little to no impact on traffic congestion as this type of use typically generates significantly fewer vehicle
trips than other types of uses.Vehicles traveling to and from the site will use the existing vehicular entrances to the
Pembroke Mall and Target properties and thereby avoid the busy Constitution Avenue/Jeanne street intersection.
Ample parking will be available on the senior housing site and surrounding mall parking lots.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the submitted site layout plan entitled ""PEMBROKE
SENIOR LIVING prepared for PEMBROKE SQUARE ASSOCIATES" prepared by Kimley Horn and dated January 26,
2021,which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Planning Department.
2. The building shall be constructed in substantial conformance with the submitted elevations entitled "PEMBROKE
SENIOR LIVING—ELEVATIONS"dated January 22, 2021, prepared by Kahler Slater,which have been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Planning Department.
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 subject property is located in the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area (SGA),the plan for which was originally adopted
in 2009. One of the primary goals established in the Housing& Neighborhoods section of the Comprehensive Plan is to
provide a variety of housing types with a range of affordability in the SGAs (p.2-78).The Plan further emphasizes the
need to allow and encourage housing for seniors accommodating all levels of care in areas with convenient access to
services and facilities (p. 2-74). Lastly,the Plan recommends locating housing for seniors and disabled persons in close
proximity to transit stops (p.2-79).
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.A small portion on the eastern edge of the of the site may be
within the Resource Protection Area (RPA), but a detailed engineering plan is necessary to establish this boundary.
The eastern part of the site lies within flood zones AE (1%annual chance of flooding) and X (0.2%annual chance of
flooding) as indicated by the 2015 Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps(FIRM).

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: COMMONWEALTH AUTO GROUP, INC. [Applicant] WWMD PROPERTIES,
LP [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicles Sales &
Rentals) for the property located at 4873 Haygood Road (GPIN 1478142890).
COUNCIL DISTRICT— BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit in order to operate a motor vehicles
sales and rentals operation within a 4,870 square foot building with 5,800 square
feet of vehicle display area. The applicant proposes to offer 38 vehicles for sale on
the property. The existing canopy structure will be removed and approximately
17,960 square feet of asphalt in the front of the site will be replaced. Proposed
exterior improvements to the building include painting the structure with a neutral
gray color with white trim. A single-wall mounted sign on the building and reuse of
the freestanding sign are proposed and will be designed and painted to match the
color of the building. No auto repair is proposed in conjunction with this request.
■ Considerations:
The site meets the requirements set forth in Section 239 of the Zoning Ordinance
for Motor Vehicles Sales and Rentals. In Staffs view and the Planning Commission
concurred, the proposal is compatible with existing uses along this section of
Haygood Road and is in keeping with the policies and goals set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban area. The proposal is not immediately
adjacent to residential uses and will provide a service to the community. To
address concerns of the Planning Commission regarding the improvements to the
site, the front of the site will increase in greenspace and a reduction of one row of
parking along the right-of-way, all damaged asphalt in the front of the site will be
replaced, the unattractive fuel canopy will be demolished, the number of vehicles
for display will be reduced from 48 to 38 vehicles, the minimum standard of 12%
interior display area landscaping will be exceeded by 40 square feet, a six-foot tall
privacy fence will be installed to provide screening to the rear of the site, and all
the curbing, bollards, and surfaces on the site where the paint is chipping or in
obvious disrepair will be repainted and maintained while the use is active. Further
details pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs evaluation, are provided in
the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• This application was deferred at the May 12, 2021 Planning Commission Hearing to address concerns from the
Planning Commission regarding the improvements to the site. Since the May hearing,the following improvements
have been added to the proposal and/or additional information provided.
o A section of asphalt along Haygood Road measuring approximately 64 feet in length is proposed to be
removed and then planted with shrubs and trees.This will increase the amount of greenspace and
results in the reduction in one row of parking along the right-of-way.The street frontage planting area is
increased due to this improvement.
o All damaged asphalt in the front of the site,totaling approximately 17,964 square feet,will be removed
and replaced and the parking lot restriped,thereby improving aesthetics and safety.
o The existing unattractive aging fuel canopy will be removed from the property.The canopy is currently a
negative focal point and its removal will greatly improve the appearance of the property.
o The number of vehicles available for sale has been reduced from 48 down to 38. This will aid in ensuring
that the property will remain orderly and that parking for both customers and employees will be
available.
o The minimum standard of 12% interior display area landscaping is exceeded by 40 square feet.
o The minimum required building foundation plantings are depicted on the concept plan,as required.
o A building rendering has been submitted that depicts exterior improvements as well as the proposed
building signage. Building improvements include painting of the exterior in a gray color scheme with
white trim. Both the proposed building and freestanding signs are of modest design with a neutral color
scheme.The building sign is 15 square feet less than the maximum allowed per the ordinance.The
freestanding sign meets the standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.
o A six-foot tall wood privacy fence is proposed along the rear of the site.While not immediately adjacent
to residential uses,this fence will serve to screen the entire rear of the site to include the employee
parking area,the existing mechanical building,the vehicle prep area,and the proposed dumpster from
view of adjacent commercially-zoned properties.
• The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales and Rentals on a 37,730 square foot parcel
zoned B-2 Community Business District. A Conditional Use Permit for fuel sales with a convenience store was
granted on this site by City Council on September 13, 1982.The site has likely been vacant from sometime between
2018 and now.
• The site is currently developed with a 4,873 square foot one-story building, a mechanical building,and a canopy
structure that existed from the previous automobile service station.The canopy structure will be demolished prior
to operation of the auto sales establishment,as recommended in Condition 4.
• The applicant proposes to display up to 38 vehicles on the site. No auto repair is proposed,and a condition is
recommended prohibiting that activity.
• The submitted concept plan,as shown on page seven, depicts the proposed designated vehicle display areas on
three sides of the building.The proposed plan provides a sufficient number of parking spaces for customers and
employees. Employee parking is proposed to be located in the rear of the site.
Commonwealth Auto Group, Inc
Agenda Item 8

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales and Rentals, in Staff's opinion, is acceptable.Auto-
related uses have existed on this property since 1983,and in the vicinity,for several decades.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 area and is compatible with the number of automobile related service uses along this section of
Haygood Road.The redevelopment of this site will be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan,as it is improving
the quality and attractiveness of the site and buildings.The proposed landscaping, as depicted on the conceptual layout
plan, and the exterior changes to the dilapidated building to include new paint and new proposed signage,will
contribute to the enhancement of the aesthetics of the site.
Section 5A.4 of the Site Plan Ordinance requires a minimum of 12 percent of the display area to be planted,or
approximately 698 square feet in this instance.As shown on the submitted conceptual plan,the applicant has exceeded
this requirement by approximately 40 square feet. In addition,the street frontage and building foundation landscaping
depicted on the conceptual plan meets and, in some instances, exceeds the requirements set forth in the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
After the May 12`h Planning Commission Hearing,the applicant worked with Staff to address comments provided at the
hearing regarding the number of vehicles for display on the property as well as improvements aesthetically to both the
Commonwealth Auto Group, Inc
Agenda Item 8
Page 3
property and the building. As noted above,the applicant has addressed these issues that include the expansion of the
street frontage plantings along the right-of-way,the improvements to the building via renderings that indicate
proposed upgrades,exhibits provided related to both the building and freestanding signage, and a concept plan that
clearly indicates landscaping and site improvements such as replacement of the damaged asphalt on the site.
Specifically,the applicant proposes to remove the existing canopy on the site and replace all the damaged asphalt in the
front of the property totaling 17,964 square feet, remove a row of display vehicles along Haygood Road to increase the
street frontage landscaping along the public right-of-way by 546 square feet, reduce the originally proposed 48 vehicles
for sale to 38 vehicles, and install plants in excess of the 12%interior display area landscaping requirement by 40 square
feet.A six-foot tall wood privacy fence is proposed along the rear of the site,although not immediately adjacent to
residentially-zoned parcels,to screen the employee parking area,the existing mechanical building,the vehicle prep area,
and the proposed dumpster. It is Staff's view that the applicant has addressed the noted concerns and that these
improvements will enhance the aesthetics of the site as well as the vicinity.
Traffic Engineering reviewed and commented that the proposed motor vehicles sales and rentals establishment would
result in a significant decrease in traffic generation when compared to the previous use of fuel sales and a convenience
store on the site.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: TRACI & MICHAEL MCGLYNN [Applicant & Property Owner] Modification of
Conditions to a Special Exception to the Form Based Code and a
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 523
20 1/2 Street (GPIN 24179788130001). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Modification of Conditions for a Special Exception for
Alternative Compliance that was approved by City Council in 2018 as well as a
Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental. The 7,800 square-foot parcel
zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form Based Code District was developed in 2020
with three detached house building types with one dwelling unit within each
building. These requests are limited to the unit owned by the applicant at 523 20
1/2 Street.
With respect to Modification of Conditions, the applicant would like to eliminate
condition #8 of the approved Special Exception for Alternative Compliance, which
states, "Each of the proposed Detached Houses shall not be used for any other
principle use than one single-family dwelling."As a Short Term Rental is a separate
conditional use from a residential use, as noted in Appendix 1 , Section 5.2 (Use
Table/Lodging) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the elimination of this condition is
necessary in order to operate a Short Term Rental.
The minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental use is
one per bedroom, or four spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for
guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a four-bedroom Short Term Rental unit is twelve;
however, at the time of this writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term
Rental condition revisions reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to
two per bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day period from
two to one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below. As of June 10,
2021 , Host Compliance shows no active advertisements for a Short Term Rental
associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
The site is adjacent to the ViBe Creative District, which contains a myriad of
commercial and residential uses with an emphasis on arts and culture. The
property is surrounded by other detached dwelling types and duplex-style
buildings. In addition, the lot is approximately 400 feet from a partially vacant tract
Traci & Michael McGlynn
Page 2 of 6
referred to as The Dome Site, which is proposed for recreational and commercial
redevelopment in the near future. Furthermore, the subject property is
approximately 2,100 feet, or 0.4 miles, from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean
and 1,350 feet, or 0.25 miles, from the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
The City Assessor's record notes the subject dwelling as containing four
bedrooms, which equates to four required off-street parking spaces for Short Term
Rental use. The applicant's unit can accommodate three off-street parking spaces
on-site, two in the driveway and one in the garage. The required fourth parking
space is proposed at an off-site commercial parking lot at 301 20th Street, which is
1,356 feet, or 0.25 miles, from the subject address.
As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable with the
stipulation that the applicant obtain an executed parking lease for the off-site space
and the space always be available to the tenants of the Short Term Rental unit. A
one-year unexecuted lease agreement for the off-site parking space was submitted
by the applicant. Recommended condition#3 addresses this matter. Furthermore,
the property is within the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit Program,
where parking during the evening and overnight hours is limited. Consequently, a
condition is recommended that limits the number of Residential Parking Permit
Program parking passes to two and prohibits the issuance of guest and temporary
passes through the program while the Conditional Use Permit is active. All other
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to
the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There were two citizens opposed to the request that were present at the public
hearing and three letters of opposition were received by Staff. The opposition
expressed concerns relating to Short Term Rentals in general, while also focusing
on their reported negative experiences with an existing Short Term Rental located
across the street from the applicant's address. Specific concerns noted included
excessive noise, lack of available off-street parking, excess number of Short Term
rentals in the neighborhood, and an unkempt yard.
• Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of these requests by a vote of 6-0.
Recommended conditions for the Modification of Conditions
1. All conditions attached to the Alternative Compliance granted on June 19, 2018
are hereby deleted and superseded by the following conditions.

request up to 200% of the number of plantings required to meet the minimum
foundation landscaping criteria.
6. All plantings shall be maintained in good health. Plantings that fail to grow shall
be replaced with a similar type of plant or a plant type approved by the
Development Services Center.
7. The applicant shall make all right-of-way improvements as required for 20th
Street and 20th 1/2 Street and as further required by Public Works Traffic
Engineering and the Development Services Center as part of site plan review.
8. All mechanical equipment, including but not limited to HVAC units, shall be

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 7,800 square foot property is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort and contains three detached building types
(detached building types as defined in Appendix 1 of the City Zoning Ordinance).
• On June 19, 2018,City Council granted a Special Exception for Alternative Compliance to the developer of the
subject property.The request was for a deviation of Section 2.4.2(a)(3)of the Form-Based Code,which states,
"When multiple primary buildings or building types are placed on the same lot, each building must be able to meet
the minimum lot criteria of its associated building type whether or not actual lot lines exist."The proposed layout
did not provide the minimum lot width or minimum lot area for the rear unit, now addressed as 523 20 Y2 Street.
This site contains three detached building types,with each building containing one dwelling unit.The prescriptive
code requirement,which is found in Appendix 1,Section 2.9 of the City Zoning Ordinance,calls for each detached
building type to contain 3,000 square feet of lot size and 30 feet of lot width. So,for three detached building types
with one dwelling unit in each building, 9,000 square feet of lot size and 90 feet of lot width is required. Because the
subject property only contains 60 feet of lot width and 7,800 square feet of lot size,the site is deficient in lot width
by 30 feet and lot size by 1,200 square feet.As a result,the developer petitioned City Council for a Special Exception
to this requirement,which,after being granted on June 19, 2018,allowed 523 20%2 Street (the subject detached
building)to be constructed on this site.
• The applicant is seeking to modify one of the conditions associated with the June 19,2018 City Council approval.
Specifically,they would like to eliminate condition#8,which states, "Each of the proposed Detached Houses shall
not be used for any other principle use than one single-family dwelling."Because Short Term Rental is a separate
principal use from residential use,as noted in Appendix 1,Section 5.2 (Use Table—Lodging) of the City Zoning
Ordinance,the elimination of this condition is necessary to allow for the granting of a Short Term Rental Conditional
Use Permit,which the applicant is requesting as described below.
• As previously noted,the applicant is also requesting a Short Term Rental Conditional Use Permit for one of the three
detached homes located on this lot, 523 20%2 Street.
• According to City records,this four-bedroom detached house was constructed in 2020.
• Staff inspected the site on March 23, 2021 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• On-street parking is not permitted on this portion of 20%2 Street.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject address.
• According to the applicant,this property was not used for Short-Term Rental purposes prior to July 1, 2018.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The site is adjacent to the ViBe Creative District,which is home to a myriad of commercial and residential uses with an
emphasis on arts and culture.This parcel was developed in 2020 and contains three detached buildings with one
Traci R. & Michael McGlynn
Agenda Items 26&27
Page 3
dwelling unit in each building.The property is surrounded by other detached dwelling types and duplex style buildings.
In addition,the lot sits approximately 400 feet from a partially vacant tract referred to as The Dome Site,which is
proposed for recreational and commercial redeveloped in the near future. Furthermore,the subject property sits
approximately 2,100 feet,or.4 miles,from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean and 1,350 feet,or.25 miles,from the
Virginia Beach Convention Center.The applicant only owns one of the three detached buildings on this property, 523 20
%2 Street.
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental use at 523 20%Street,which is one of three
existing dwellings on this property,and to Modify the Conditions of a 2018 Special Exception for Alternative Compliance
that was granted by City Council.Specifically,the applicant would like to eliminate condition#8,which states, "Each of
the proposed Detached Houses shall not be used for any other principle use than one single-family dwelling."Because
Short Term Rental is a separate principal use from residential use, as noted in Appendix 1,Section 5.2 (Use Table—
Lodging) of the City Zoning Ordinance,the elimination of this condition is necessary to allow for the granting of a Short
Term Rental Conditional Use Permit, if City Council chooses to grant such request. In addition,the granting of this
modification would not else allow Short Term Rental use within the remaining two homes on the subject site since only
the applicant's address and GPIN number were included as part of the Modification of Conditions advertisement.
Moreover, a if--a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental Use must be is applied for and granted under the
requirements of the present City Zoning Ordinance for the two remaining dwellings on the property(523 &521 20th
Street).
The city assessment record notes the subject dwelling as containing four bedrooms,which equates to four required off-
street parking spaces for Short Term Rental use.The applicant can fit three off-street parking spaces on-site,two in the
driveway and one in the garage,which leaves one space unaccounted for.The applicant was made aware of this
deficiency and provided with a few potential remedies, such as exploring the possibility of reducing the bedroom count
in the home through the City Assessor's Office,submitting a code compliant engineered plan to enlarge the existing
driveway(pending a review by the Zoning Administration and the Development Services Center Division of the Planning
Department), or locating a leasable commercial parking space within%mile of the home. Ultimately,the applicant
submitted documentation of their intent to lease an off-site parking space within the commercial parking lot located at
301 20th street.This lot is 1,356 feet,or.25 miles,from the subject address.A one year unexecuted lease agreement for
the off-site parking space was submitted by the applicant.
As permitted by Section 241.2(1)of the City Zoning Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan and
deemed it acceptable with the stipulation that the applicant obtain an executed parking lease for the off-site space and
the space always be available to the tenants of the Short Term Rental unit. Recommended condition#3 addresses this
matter. Furthermore,the property is within the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit Program, where parking
during the evening and overnight hours is limited. Consequently,a condition is recommended that limits the number of
Residential Parking Permit Program parking passes to two and prohibits the issuance of guest and temporary passes
through the program while the Conditional Use Permit is active.All other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.The
recommended conditions do reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of bookings in a
seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.
Recommended Conditions for Item 26

Modification of Conditions
523 20th 1/2 Street
June 9, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - HEARD
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Weiner, do you want me to read 26 and 27 together or individually?
Mr. Weiner: I think we're gonna need to do that individually because one is a short-term rental,
or how would we work that.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Can we do it together? Since it's same person? We do it separate. Let's do
separate.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: The question will end up bleeding over Mr. Chair. My recommendation is that we
read them together.
Mr. Weiner: Perfect, read them together. Okay, we're good.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay, the next two items are agenda items number 26 and 27. They are both
applications from Traci R. & Michael L. McGlynn. The first number 26 being an
application for modification of conditions on property located at 523 20th and a half
Street. Item number 27 is an application for a conditional use permit short-term
rental on property located at 523 20th and a half street in the Beach District, the
applicant or the applicants representative please step to the podium.
1
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, ma'am.
Ms. McGlynn: Hi, thank you. My name is Traci McGlynn. My husband and I have been living in
the subject property for the last year and have absolutely loved living at the beach
and in the VIBe District. Recently, however, we decided to buy a beach bungalow
on 35th Street but to afford the house we would have to short term rent our home
on 20th and a half Street. This was not an easy decision as we have loved our
home and our neighbors. I know many people have concerns about living near a
short-term rental, we have discussed concerns with our neighbors that share the
lot with us and after discussions, and they support our decision. We will be living
on 35th Street which is only about a mile away so we can check on guests easily
and be visible presence which will help defer some of the disruptions of a short-
term rental. Even before the Planning Commission added the one rental per week,
we were planning on a seven day Saturday to Saturday rental schedule. We'll be
advertising the home as a great place for a family vacation and really market the
home for families. This will minimize the large groups here to party, which we will
include in our rules of no parties and will maintain a visible presence to ensure
adherence to these rules. I will, of course, provide my personal contact information
to my immediate neighbors along with the posted sign with the contact information.
We have worked to keep our lawn and flower beds in clean and orderly conditions
and I have a lawn service and will continue that service so our property will not
begin to look unkept. Because we will be so close, we will be able to monitor the
garbage and recycles and ensure that they are taken out and removed in a clean
way. I realized the unregistered short-term rental across the street from ours has
caused some concern, but we are working hard to address those types of issues
in our home. We do care about our neighbors and their peaceful living and we'll do
everything we can to ensure our home does not become a nuisance to our
neighbors and friends. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you ma'am. Any questions to speaker, no thank you. Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I shall take my leave. Mr. Chairman pursuant to the Conflict of Interest Act in
Virginia Code Section 2.2-3115F, I'm making the following declaration, I have it on
the file with the city attorney a conflicts letter I abstained from all STR applications
and ordinances on this day. That would be agenda items number 26 to 39.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
2
Mr. Redmond: Have a good day.
Mr. Weiner: 29 and 30. But that's okay. We're good. Okay speakers.
Ms. Sandloop: Yes, sir. We have two, one in person and one WebEx. Sarah Welch.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Welch: Good afternoon. Good afternoon members of the Virginia Beach Planning
Commission. My name is Sarah Welch and I reside at 522 20 and a Half Street
directly across from the proposed short-term rental. I purchased my home in
September of 2018 and made it my permanent home in May of 2019. I stand in
opposition to this proposed change request. My rationale for the opposition is there
is currently a short-term rental directly to the west side of my home. We've had
loud tenants, parking issues, and the lawn has been in disrepair. I submitted
photos to Ms. Summer Peebles for parking and lawn issues. I believe based on
the code of one parking space per bedroom, there is not ample parking to have
two short term rentals adjacent.Also,the current property does not comply with no
more than two contracts in seven consecutive days, I purposely bought this house
in this neighborhood as it was a single family home area with homeowners in most
of the homes. I did not buy in other locations in Virginia Beach due to the high
concentration of investor real estate. As a property owner in this small street,
basically an alleyway, I'm concerned of the potential for too many investor
properties in a half block situation. I'm also concerned about the potential property
value degradation and the safety of our neighborhood with too many homes as
investor real estate. If we must have investor real estate on the street, I'm
requesting the board provided density cap to ensure that the neighborhood does
not turn into an area where propensity of homes are investors'short owned rentals.
I believe no more than 10 to 15% of the homes on a given location should be
investor short term. I respectfully request you take my feedback into consideration
as you make your upcoming decisions. Thank you in advance for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions? Ma'am just real quick are you aware of the 311 number, 311 in
City of Virginia Beach?
Ms. Welch: I am.
3
Mr. Weiner: Okay. If you have problems with the short term rentals, you can use that number
311.
Ms. Welch: I understand that.
Mr. Weiner: And I don't know I'm sure Summers good at what she does, and I'm sure she will
look in to see if that's actually a legal short-term rental that you're having problems
with.
Ms. Welch: It's grandfather.
Mr. Weiner: Its grandfather, okay. Then use that 311 number whenever there's any problems.
Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Welch: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Our next speaker is WebEx. Paula Shifflett. If you would please wait two to three
seconds, state your name, and then please begin your comments.
Ms. Shifflett: Hi. My name is Paula Shifflett. Am I coming through?
Ms. Sandloop: We can hear you.
Ms. Shifflett: I want to apologize ahead of time I had a work thing come up and I'm not — I do
not have a written agenda, but I'll do the best I can. I need to— I just want to clarify
the sign, the zoning sign has been in front of the 523 property on 20th Street for
whatever the required time is my understanding or what I'm hearing is, is that it
has been — this property has been submitted as 523 and a half street. So could
you clarify for me that property and its location because it's front door, and it's two
4
balconies and parking is on 20th Street. So it would be considered a house on 20th
Street versus 523 and a half. So I'm a little confused about that.
Ms. Weiner: Ma'am, please continue with your comments.
Ms. Shifflett: Okay, so the house is facing 20th Street, we live slightly to the east across the
street. Just to give you a little background so that you understand a little bit about
us as my husband and I have been residents here for over 21 years, and actively
involved in the community, including raising a child in the Virginia Beach School
System, who's currently in a VB Academy. We largely contribute to drop through
fundraising most recently to the Virginia Aquarium Building, their new sanctuary.
We're definitely embedded residents,we're looking forward to spending what I can
say is the rest of our life here. And in those 20 years, we have watched a lot of
development on this street, mostly single home residential, we've also
encountered as, you know, lots of traffic because we are one of the few three
streets from directly from the beach to away from the beach after some of the
streets were closed off. So we get a lot of foot traffic from the Convention Center
going to the beach as well as traffic and work trucks and my understanding also is
that you are opening up the, you are building wave pool etcetera and the dome
area and so construction will continue. So with the 20 foot wide street and curbing
put in for the new homes, the traffic has been a little more crowded as well as
stopping because two cars cannot fit down this road or work trucks or anything at
the same time with the new curbing put in if somebody is actually parked on the
street. So my concern is the traffic. It's also parking. There have been several
incidences with parking for people that are visiting houses that are short-term
rentals. So I am speaking against it at this point because we have enjoyed and we
continue to enjoy the fact that we are wanting.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you very much for your comments ma'am.
Ms. Sandloop: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, Ms. McGlynn would you like to come back up for rebuttal.
Ms. McGlynn: My only comment I think she's, we were required to put a sign on 20th Street and
20th and a half Street. I believe the two houses she's talking about are facing 20th
5
Street. My house is 20th and a half Street. So it looked confusing, but that's the
only, that's the only thing I have to add.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, great. Thank you very much.
Mr. Alcaraz: I got a question.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, hold a second, sorry.
Mr. Alcaraz: Are the units A, B and C are?
Ms. McGlynn: They each have their own home address. They have their own home number.
Mr. Alcaraz: So the units on 20th Street or what?
Ms. McGlynn: On 20th street is 523 and 521.
Mr. Alcaraz: 521.
Ms. McGlynn: Yeah, I believe so.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. On the map, it shows units A, B and C.
Ms. McGlynn: I think that was just for clarity.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, so it's three different separate addresses.
6
Ms. McGlynn: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? No more speakers. All right, we will close this and open up
for discussion. Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: I mean, they meet the criteria or everything that said, they've got the parking and,
of course, they're in the OR district and I'm an advocate for OR District, so like to
hear from you guys, but I'm supporting it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Anybody else?
Mr. Horsley: I will support it too.
Mr. Weiner: Making a motion?
Mr. Alcaraz: I'll make a motion that we approve this application.
Mr. Weiner: We had 26 and 27.
Mr. Alcaraz: Oh 26 and 27. Okay yes, I'd like to make a motion that we approve 26 and 27.

Item #27
Traci R. & Michael L. McGlynn [Applicants & Property Owners]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
523 20th /z Street
June 9, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - HEARD
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Weiner, do you want me to read 26 and 27 together or individually?
Mr. Weiner: I think we're gonna need to do that individually because one is a short-term rental,
or how would we work that.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Can we do it together? Since it's same person? We do it separate. Let's do
separate.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: The question will end up bleeding over Mr. Chair. My recommendation is that we
read them together.
Mr. Weiner: Perfect, read them together. Okay, we're good.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay, the next two items are agenda items number 26 and 27. They are both
applications from Traci R. & Michael L. McGlynn. The first number 26 being an
application for modification of conditions on property located at 523 20th and a half
Street. Item number 27 is an application for a conditional use permit short-term
rental on property located at 523 20th and a half street in the Beach District, the
applicant or the applicants representative please step to the podium.
1
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, ma'am.
Ms. McGlynn: Hi, thank you. My name is Traci McGlynn. My husband and I have been living in
the subject property for the last year and have absolutely loved living at the beach
and in the VIBe District. Recently, however, we decided to buy a beach bungalow
on 35th Street but to afford the house we would have to short term rent our home
on 20th and a half Street. This was not an easy decision as we have loved our
home and our neighbors. I know many people have concerns about living near a
short-term rental, we have discussed concerns with our neighbors that share the
lot with us and after discussions, and they support our decision. We will be living
on 35th Street which is only about a mile away so we can check on guests easily
and be visible presence which will help defer some of the disruptions of a short-
term rental. Even before the Planning Commission added the one rental per week,
we were planning on a seven day Saturday to Saturday rental schedule. We'll be
advertising the home as a great place for a family vacation and really market the
home for families. This will minimize the large groups here to party, which we will
include in our rules of no parties and will maintain a visible presence to ensure
adherence to these rules. I will, of course, provide my personal contact information
to my immediate neighbors along with the posted sign with the contact information.
We have worked to keep our lawn and flower beds in clean and orderly conditions
and I have a lawn service and will continue that service so our property will not
begin to look unkept. Because we will be so close, we will be able to monitor the
garbage and recycles and ensure that they are taken out and removed in a clean
way. I realized the unregistered short-term rental across the street from ours has
caused some concern, but we are working hard to address those types of issues
in our home. We do care about our neighbors and their peaceful living and we'll do
everything we can to ensure our home does not become a nuisance to our
neighbors and friends. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you ma'am. Any questions to speaker, no thank you. Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I shall take my leave. Mr. Chairman pursuant to the Conflict of Interest Act in
Virginia Code Section 2.2-3115F, I'm making the following declaration, I have it on
the file with the city attorney a conflicts letter I abstained from all STR applications
and ordinances on this day. That would be agenda items number 26 to 39.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
2
Mr. Redmond: Have a good day.
Mr. Weiner: 29 and 30. But that's okay. We're good. Okay speakers.
Ms. Sandloop: Yes, sir. We have two, one in person and one WebEx. Sarah Welch.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Welch: Good afternoon. Good afternoon members of the Virginia Beach Planning
Commission. My name is Sarah Welch and I reside at 522 20 and a Half Street
directly across from the proposed short-term rental. I purchased my home in
September of 2018 and made it my permanent home in May of 2019. I stand in
opposition to this proposed change request. My rationale for the opposition is there
is currently a short-term rental directly to the west side of my home. We've had
loud tenants, parking issues, and the lawn has been in disrepair. I submitted
photos to Ms. Summer Peebles for parking and lawn issues. I believe based on
the code of one parking space per bedroom, there is not ample parking to have
two short term rentals adjacent.Also,the current property does not comply with no
more than two contracts in seven consecutive days, I purposely bought this house
in this neighborhood as it was a single family home area with homeowners in most
of the homes. I did not buy in other locations in Virginia Beach due to the high
concentration of investor real estate. As a property owner in this small street,
basically an alleyway, I'm concerned of the potential for too many investor
properties in a half block situation. I'm also concerned about the potential property
value degradation and the safety of our neighborhood with too many homes as
investor real estate. If we must have investor real estate on the street, I'm
requesting the board provided density cap to ensure that the neighborhood does
not turn into an area where propensity of homes are investors'short owned rentals.
I believe no more than 10 to 15% of the homes on a given location should be
investor short term. I respectfully request you take my feedback into consideration
as you make your upcoming decisions. Thank you in advance for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions? Ma'am just real quick are you aware of the 311 number, 311 in
City of Virginia Beach?
Ms. Welch: I am.
3
Mr. Weiner: Okay. If you have problems with the short term rentals, you can use that number
311.
Ms. Welch: I understand that.
Mr. Weiner: And I don't know I'm sure Summers good at what she does, and I'm sure she will
look in to see if that's actually a legal short-term rental that you're having problems
with.
Ms. Welch: It's grandfather.
Mr. Weiner: Its grandfather, okay. Then use that 311 number whenever there's any problems.
Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Welch: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Our next speaker is WebEx. Paula Shifflett. If you would please wait two to three
seconds, state your name, and then please begin your comments.
Ms. Shifflett: Hi. My name is Paula Shifflett. Am I coming through?
Ms. Sandloop: We can hear you.
Ms. Shifflett: I want to apologize ahead of time I had a work thing come up and I'm not — I do
not have a written agenda, but I'll do the best I can. I need to— I just want to clarify
the sign, the zoning sign has been in front of the 523 property on 20th Street for
whatever the required time is my understanding or what I'm hearing is, is that it
has been — this property has been submitted as 523 and a half street. So could
you clarify for me that property and its location because it's front door, and it's two
4
balconies and parking is on 20th Street. So it would be considered a house on 20th
Street versus 523 and a half. So I'm a little confused about that.
Ms. Weiner: Ma'am, please continue with your comments.
Ms. Shifflett: Okay, so the house is facing 20th Street, we live slightly to the east across the
street. Just to give you a little background so that you understand a little bit about
us as my husband and I have been residents here for over 21 years, and actively
involved in the community, including raising a child in the Virginia Beach School
System, who's currently in a VB Academy. We largely contribute to drop through
fundraising most recently to the Virginia Aquarium Building, their new sanctuary.
We're definitely embedded residents,we're looking forward to spending what I can
say is the rest of our life here. And in those 20 years, we have watched a lot of
development on this street, mostly single home residential, we've also
encountered as, you know, lots of traffic because we are one of the few three
streets from directly from the beach to away from the beach after some of the
streets were closed off. So we get a lot of foot traffic from the Convention Center
going to the beach as well as traffic and work trucks and my understanding also is
that you are opening up the, you are building wave pool etcetera and the dome
area and so construction will continue. So with the 20 foot wide street and curbing
put in for the new homes, the traffic has been a little more crowded as well as
stopping because two cars cannot fit down this road or work trucks or anything at
the same time with the new curbing put in if somebody is actually parked on the
street. So my concern is the traffic. It's also parking. There have been several
incidences with parking for people that are visiting houses that are short-term
rentals. So I am speaking against it at this point because we have enjoyed and we
continue to enjoy the fact that we are wanting.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you very much for your comments ma'am.
Ms. Sandloop: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, Ms. McGlynn would you like to come back up for rebuttal.
Ms. McGlynn: My only comment I think she's, we were required to put a sign on 20th Street and

Dear Mr. Miller
I am writing this letter on behalf of Traci and Michael McGlynn in support of their decision to proceed
with their home as a Short Term Rental.
During our time as neighbors,Traci and Michael have been exemplary neighbors.They have maintained
their yard in good and healthy conditions, have been courteous and friendly to my family and myself,
and respectful of the peace of the neighborhood. I am certain this level of respect and professionalism
will continue when they begin Short Term Rentals. Because the McGlynn's will reside in a second home
here at the Oceanfront,they have assured me they will maintain an active presence at the property in
order to insure their guests continue the same level of respect of the property and neighbors.
Furthermore, it has come to my attention that the three properties located at 521 and 523 20th street,
which includes my own, have a conditional use permit that states in effect these homes are to be used
as single family homes. I am in favor of allowing the McGlynn's to modify this Conditional Use Permit in
order to proceed with a Short Term Rental Conditional Use Permit. I am comfortable with having a short
term rental in my neighborhood and as part of my immediate property.
If you have any questions or wish to speak to m dir can be reached at (757)580-0060
Thank you,

Date: Monday, May 10, 2021 7:47:34 PM
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.
Hello Summer-
Thank you for your response my voicemail.
I send this message in opposition of the proposed short-term rental at 523 20 1/2 Street
Virginia Beach, VA 23451. I live at 522 20 1/2 Street directly across the street. There is
currently a short term rental directly to the west next door at 524 20 1/2 Street. We have
loud noises, parking issues, and the lawn in disrepair. (See photos attached below.)Based
on the code of 1 parking space per bedroom there is not ample enough parking to have two
short term rentals adjacent. Also the current property does not comply with the code of No
more than 2 contracts permitted within 7 consecutive days. I purposefully bought this
house as it was in a single family home area with home owners in most of the houses. I did
not buy in other locations due to the high number if investor real estate properties. As a
property owner on this small street(alley way) I am concerned with the potential for too
many investor properties in a half block situation. I am concerned also about the potential
of property value degradation and safety within our neighborhood with too many homes as
investor real estate. Please accept this letter as my formal opposition. Please feel free to
contact me with any question or concerns.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah R. Welch

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: LINDA M. LAMB LIVING TRUST [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 4615 Ocean View
Avenue (GPIN 15706241244615). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
6,250 square-foot parcel zoned R-5R(SD) Residential District (Shore Drive
Overlay). The lot consists of one duplex building with the subject unit containing
four bedrooms. Only one unit is owned by the applicant, 4615 Ocean View Avenue.
The minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one
per bedroom, or four spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests
on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a four-bedroom Short Term Rental unit is twelve;
however, at the time of this writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term
Rental condition revisions reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to
two per bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day period from
two to one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below.
As of May 28, 2021 , Host Compliance showed no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This site is within the Chesapeake Beach subdivision, which contains a myriad of
dwelling types. The subject lot contains a duplex building located in the R-5R(SD)
Residential District; however, the applicant only owns one of the two units within
the duplex. The property is also across the street from the public beach of the
Chesapeake Bay.
The applicant's parking plan depicts four required off-street parking spaces within
an existing compacted gravel driveway located in front of the property. As
permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable. Furthermore,
the requirements of Section 241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short
Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining
to the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Staff received eight letters of support and six letters of opposition. Five speakers
in opposition were present at the Planning Commission public hearing. Both the
Linda M. Lamb Living Trust
Page 2 of 4
letters and the speakers indicated concerns relating to the transient nature of Short
Term rental tenants, possible negative impact to property values, recent violence
associated with an existing neighborhood Short Term Rental, and nuisances
associated with Short Term Rentals.
• Recommendation:
On May 12, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend denial
of this request by a vote of 7 to 0. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 4615
Ocean View Avenue and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the

3. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of

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

4. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more
than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of

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

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

Lamb, who had purchased the home at 4615 Ocean View Avenue. We have come
from Michigan. I have my first grandson, who is 14 weeks old, and our plan is to
use this site as a site that we can live in when we're in Virginia Beach.We estimate
we'll be here as babysitters for her, Barrett Lamb, probably about 75% to 80% of
the time when we're in the state of Virginia, and we would like to use the other
time to allow us to rent that out on a short term rental basis when we're not
physically here in the Virginia Beach area. I do have a son that lives about 10
minutes from me and he works here locally in Virginia Beach and I have a
daughter-in-law who is in the school system, or at Princess Anne,and teaches first
grade. One of the reasons we're here is because of the COVID activity for this
young boy and we wanted to babysit him rather than put him in day care. So, we
have purchased the home as our home here in Virginia Beach, where we'll reside
in and have him physically on site while we're babysitting. And I'd like to answer
any other questions that you have for us. We're relatively new to Virginia Beach
and relatively new to this process.
Mr. Weiner: Is there any questions for Mr. Lamb? No questions, thank you, all right.
Madam Clerk: We have four speakers one in person and three virtual, calling Daniel Blevins.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Blevins: Daniel Blevins, 4622 Lauderdale Avenue, Virginia Beach Chick's Beach area. I'm
in opposition to this application because of a recent incident that occurred on
February 28th regarding short term rentals. I asked that a police report be handed
1
out; I don't know if you've seen it or y'all got it. To members of the Planning
Commission, the morning of the 28th at 5 o'clock in the morning, I hear these
gunshots it's about 20 of them, boom, boom, boom, I thought it's firecrackers at
first. Come to find out, there was a party down the street at a short term rental
across the street from Buoys, and there's about 20 shots fired, and cars were shot
up. It's very unnerving honestly;we've had more and more applications being filed
for short term rentals. In fact, there's two more applications for consideration in
June. And it pretty much renders the neighborhood watch program useless. You
don't know who's coming and going, you see strange cars coming, used to be, I'm
living on a dead end street and you would know the cars that were coming and
going, that's not the case anymore. You don't know who they are; you don't know
who's in the neighborhood, people walking around, strangers. And it's just not
compatible with the neighborhood, with a residential neighborhood, short term
rentals aren't. But when it gets to the point where the short term rentals are used
as party houses where they're advertised as party houses as it is, in one case I
know about and people come and in violation of the terms of the short term rental,
Conditional Use Permit and pack a house and they're creating a lot of ruckus to
the point where they're shooting guns in the neighborhood.We need to stand back
and hold off on any more approvals until more tools are in place for the police
department and citizens to use to try to control the activity. For instance, item
number four of the conditional uses.
Mr. Weiner: Sir, thank you very much for your comments. Next speaker please. Anybody have
any questions? Sir, excuse me.
Mr. Graham: I wouldn't mind just hearing the rest of...
Mr. Blevins: My questions had to do with several of the conditional use conditions and how
they're enforced. One of those is number four, I think it says that no more than two
per people, well let me read it, I'm sorry. It says no events associated with short
term rental will be permitted with more than the allowed number of people who
.may stay overnight, number of bedrooms times two on the property where the short
term rental is located. The short term rental may not request or obtain a special
event permit. How is that, can that possibly be enforced? That's one question.
don't expect an answer because I don't think there is an answer, but hopefully
there is.
Ms. Oliver: I will answer that, they can enforce the special events.
Mr. Blevins: Right, but how do you enforce the number of people and that's the problem when
somebody's throwing a party, if somebody puts out some type of a text to
everybody in the world, and the next thing you know, they got 100 people, their
party is totally in violation of it. Okay, the next question is item number five, I think
there's, you know, the person who has the permit has to be able to provide contact
2
information and respond to emergencies in 30 minutes. So where do local
residents obtain emergency contact information required by condition five? I mean
is that available to say that there's something going on? You know, how do you
contact the person who needs to be contacted if,you know,chaos is breaking out?
The next question is...
Ms. Oliver: I hate to interrupt you, but just because you're throwing these out here, so my
question is how long have you lived in Chick's Beach?
Mr. Blevins: Since 2008.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, and so with that, and so I just want to piggyback on this question that you
have as far as enforcement and contacting, what do you, and I'm not, I'm not, I'm
just asking. So, if you have a problem with a short term rental, what is it that you
know that you, what would you do? If there's a party what would you do? Who
would you call?
Mr. Blevins: First, I would first call the police. Okay, that would be the first-the first thing to do.
Unfortunately, sometimes the police can't get there on time. I mean, just for
instance, since the City started advertising Chick's Beach as a destination, we've
been inundated with a number of people that are coming down there to use the
beach, but there's no parking,there's no facilities or anything else,and you call the
police and they're overwhelmed. They're swamped. They can't enforce the
parking, streets are 16 feet wide. You got people parking on both sides. You got
people parking on the sidewalks, got people leaving their trash everywhere, you
got all these things that have been thrown upon us since I've lived there since
2008, used to be really quiet. Nobody knew about, really knew about it, and people
didn't come, but since, I guess the shootings down at the oceanfront, people don't
want go near there. So let me go to somewhere else. So Chick's Beach is one
place to go. I'm sure everyone goes to Sandbridge also. So,the last two questions,
I had in terms of mechanism.
Ms. Oliver: Are you aware of that number of 311? Obviously not?
Mr. Blevins: 311? No.
Ms. Oliver: So okay, that's all. That's great. Thank you. That's just a point I have with the lack
of awareness of the neighborhood's understanding the process, and that's great.
You answered the question.
Mr. Blevins: Okay. Well, good.
Mr. Weiner: Let me tell you 311 is a number set up by the City of Virginia Beach, if you have a
problem, or anything from, I called it yesterday for sewer backing up in my front
3
yard, the Public Works came out in 30 minutes. If you haven't, if you have an issue
with a party to short term rental, you call 311. They will go to a dispatch and then
they'll send it to most likely the police or non emergency police.
Mr. Blevins: So even at middle of the night?
Mr. Weiner: Sure, sure, 24/7.
Mr. Blevins: That's good to know, I'll remember that. I haven't really had any issues, per se, for
short term rentals up until the shooting, okay, up until this shooting that happened
on February 28.And then I started paying attention to it,then I started noticing the
number of people that were making applications and the fact that we've talked to
other people say, yeah, that went over there as they advertise that one is a party
house, none of which is in compliance with what I read as a condition of the
conditional use permit. Two more things real quick, compliance, where is the
enforcement mechanism for item 14, which talks about noise after 10 pm, police
will not enforce the noise ordinance. They won't, judge throws it out, they got to
have some type of decimeter something that's going to measure the amount of
noise, and they won't enforce it, period. They will not. Next thing is finally, is the
maximum numbers number of persons on the property after 11 and before 7,
overnight lodgers shall be two individuals per bedroom. How is that enforced? How
can you enforce that? There's no parking out there. I noticed that this house has
that none of the parking spaces are on the property, okay. If it says is built in 77,
I'm thinking is back in 1977. Was there no on-site parking requirements for
residences? I think it probably was but all these parking spaces here are off-site,
they are on city right of way. Okay. That's one thing. The next thing is if it is offsite,
was there ever a Conditional Use Permit that allowed for offsite parking, which I
know that's a requirement with the one offsite parking in this case that's what we
have. So there's a lot of problems. There's no sidewalks in Chick's Beach, there's
no trash facilities in Chick's Beach. There's no restroom facilities in Chick's Beach,
there's nothing and people are coming down there in droves and littering up and
trashing up the place. We have people stop in across the street. We live on
Lauderdale. We have a lake across the street. There's trees there, people go out
and relieve themselves in public, okay. And it's just too much and the short term
rentals just adds to that problem. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Okay. These are all virtual speakers. I'm going to call it Charles Walton. And after
that, Caroline Gingrich, Mr. Walton, if you would wait two to three seconds and
state your name and begin your comments.
Mr. Walton: Thank you commissioners. My name is Charles Walton. I reside in 4619 A Ocean
View Avenue. While I appreciate the fact that this gentleman is new to the
4
community, I am not; I've lived here close to five years now. What I'm concerned
about are two things. Number one, you know, when I purchased my home, I
noticed that there was, you know, a re-gentrification of the area. We have some
beautiful homes that are high six figures, low seven figures in the area, of which
these residents pay 10s of 1000s of dollars in city taxes annually.And my concern
is what will happen to the neighborhood. So I ask the commissioners, is this a
benefit to the current residents of the neighborhood? I don't see it that way. I see
it as a revenue generator for not only the property owner, and a potential revenue
generator for the City of Virginia Beach, but I think the quality of life will decline.
Mr. Blevins did a very nice job talking about some of the current issues that we're
experiencing, the overcrowding, the street traffic, people wandering around at all
hours of the day and night, I can tell you that I've had people climb over my fence
in the middle of the night. And this is a big concern to me. Particularly as someone
who works from home, has to get up early, work long hours, what I'm concerned
about is in the summertime, these renters will have no consideration for the
residents; they will be there to party. That is a fact. As a matter of fact, I owned a
rental property, and the way that I managed the rental property in a beach town
was we had a family member that lived in town. And that family member literally
was at the house, once the renters left to make sure that nothing was damaged or
destroyed. I'm concerned while this particular property owner says that he's got
people that are local, he will not be local. And if something happens on the
property, who is responsible. So at the end of the day, we're talking about the
residents, their quality of life, and the behavior of these renters that we've seen
over time. And that to me, is a great concern. And I know that I speak for other
residents in the area. This is the problem commissioners.And if we let this happen
here, this will just be the tip of the iceberg, I'm afraid. Thank you for your
consideration.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Caroline Gingrich, followed by Brian Camden. Ms. Gingrich if you would wait two
to three seconds and then state your name and please begin your comments.
Ms. Gingrich: Hi, my name is Caroline Gingrich. I reside at 4614 Ocean View Avenue, which is
directly across the street from the Lamb property. My residence is very vulnerable
to this property in question.And that's why I feel like it's imperative to have people
there with a vested interest in our neighborhood safety and well being of others. In
other words,a neighbor, not a hotel guest,there to have a good time with no regard
for others. They're paying to do what they want and not follow the rules of a
neighborhood. They are staying there in lieu of a hotel. And Mr. Lamb has stated
that his son has a young baby. I have a daughter with young children and I can't
imagine that her husband would leave in the middle of the night, leave his family,
to go to handle a situation at this house if anybody could even get in touch with
him. I mean, we don't even know if that situation would, you know, be able to
5
happen. Mr. Blevins and Chuck have covered all of the other issues. I could go on
and on about the shooting,which was a disaster, I mean the amount of police that
had to come and handle that situation, it was just unbelievable. I mean, they had
our streets closed for, obviously for good reason. And the bullets, you know, they
hit cars and a house, it's only by the grace of God that nobody was killed, nobody
was injured. It definitely rocked our world,that's for sure. The parking situation, my
understanding is that the Lamb's don't even have parking at their house that they
would have to literally take the fence down and park on the lawn. And I know the
city is supposed to be doing some utility work on that side of the street. That is,
they can utilize that parking that is the city that's city property. The former owners
constantly called the police because that is a place where people would just park
and block their cars in. You know, you're not allowed to put a cone up because it's
not your property. It's city's property. So there's no way to prevent people from
parking there. That is just it is city property and I don't understand too who's going
to enforce the people that are staying there, do they know to take out their trash
on Wednesdays; they're not part of the neighborhood. They are hotel guests and
I've lived in the neighborhood since 2010. We built our home and I've lived there
for years. Never thought this was going to be an issue because we had looked at
the regulations. Now of course, I know things change, you know, not on a daily
basis, but we knew there was no parking available. And the short term rental thing
was not a big deal, what's becoming a big deal and somebody already bought the
other side of this duplex and they have stated that if Mr. Lamb is successful, they
are also going to do it. So what are we going to turn our neighborhood into I mean,
it's just- it's so disheartening that I don't even know what else to say except that.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments.
Madam Clerk: Next is Brian Camden to be followed by Joseph Auzenne. Mr.Camden if you would
wait two to three seconds and please state your name and begin your comments.
Mr. Camden: Yes, this is Brian Camden. Can you hear me?
Madam Clerk: Yes, we can hear you.
Mr. Camden: Okay, I reside at 4609 Ocean View Avenue. I am the house directly next door. I
am a 30-year resident of Chesapeake Beach. I'm a member of the Civic League. I
am also the block captain for the Neighborhood Watch for this section of Ocean
View Avenue. We are in protest of this application. We'd advised Mr. Lamb when
he first came up with it that the neighbors would probably be all in opposition to it.
The main objection I have is that it is not compatible with the residential use of the
surrounding properties.We are all owner occupied units,the houses to both sides,
the houses across the street. The houses behind them are all in opposition to this.
My son's a freshman at Cox High School. The problem that I run into over the last
five years as the Neighborhood Watch is mainly these short term rentals the people
6
is noise complaints, noise, trash, but mainly noises. They like to be outside on the
decks at 2, 3 in the morning. The neighbors complain, the police really will not
enforce that, but the people who have to get up in the morning, go to work every
day. This severely impacts their ability to have quiet peaceful enjoyment of their
house there. There are no short term rentals around us right now with the closest
one we have is down at the end of Ocean View Avenue over right next to the bridge
tunnel trestle there. I agree with what they were, the previous speakers have said
about the no parking, the trash. The gun battle was certainly a major disturbance
here. It got everybody really upset about this, but I bring the Commission members
back to the fact that this application is not compatible with the residential use of all
of the surrounding properties. It's my understanding our Civic League has voted
against being a part of the short term rental overlay district, Chesapeake Beach is
not in it. And then for good reason we oppose this. The property in question has
been owner occupied for a number of years and as the previous speakers
mentioned, the ability to people to come in here, buy it.
Mr. Weiner: Next speaker please.
Madam Clerk: Our final speaker is Joseph Auzenne. If you would wait two to three seconds,
please state your name and begin your comments.
Mr. Auzenne: Hello, my name is Joe Auzenne. I'm at 4622 Ocean View Avenue across the street
from the subject property and I'd like to bring up just a few items. On October 21st,
2020, there was a request by Vice Mayor Wood and Council Members Jones and
Tower for the establishment of these short term rental overlay districts. And then
on November 4th, 2020, City Council asked the Planning Commission to apply for
the overlay districts. City Council in Council's current proposal states that if a
property is outside of an overlay district that it will not function as a short term rental
property as Mr. Camden mentioned, and it also goes on to state and other areas
of the city. Short term rentals are not compatible with the residential use of the
surrounding properties and are often the cause of excessive noise, illegal or
improper parking, traffic violations, etc, etc, etc. Now, I must say that I'm in little
disagreement with Mr. Camden on a number of short term rentals. Based on the
summary that I read, approving, tentatively approving this property. There are 22
short term rentals within a four by four block radius of our properties. There's
another four short term rentals under consideration for approval.There are actually
14 of the 22 or four blocks or within four blocks of us, actually three blocks. In the
summary report, it also states that on page three, it states that it has zero parking
spaces. That's not in compliance. The other thing I'd like to mention is that the
safety considerations have already been addressed. The other thing I have to
address is this COVID-19 situation that we are in,what requirements have the City
put on these short term rentals to determine whether or not the people that are
coming and flooding into these rentals are not infected. What are the owners
doing? What are the owners doing for cleanup after they leave? Or are they just
7
letting them roam around the beach, having a good time. And then lastly, I'd like to
say, and I'd like to quote Ms. Dee Oliver, after the shooting at 56th Street and 58th
Street off Holly Road.She said, she suggested that there may be some issues with
allowing more properties to be used as business ventures and I quote "all of a
sudden it has become a right or it appears that one person after another is buying
property in a residential neighborhood to conduct a business, and I'm not sure that
it's exactly what we were intending for our City to go." So I thank you for your time.
Everything else has been covered by our neighbors and hopefully you will
disapprove this request. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir.
Madam Clerk: That was our final speaker.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, Mr. Lamb are you still there?Would you like to make any comments?
Mr. Lamb: Yes, I understand the consideration with the shooting. We happened to be in the
area when that happened.So I understand the impact to the area and I understand
that is also the first shooting that has occurred in that area ever. So I understand
that I understand that area, I can guarantee you that this property will be taken
care of and will be in good repair, excuse me and we'll take care of as best I can.
Sorry, I got a dog here. And I'm sorry to hear that, my neighbors are in such
vehement disagreement with my being able to be here for 80% of the time, 75 to
80% of the time, and then doing a short term rental for the 25%of the time that I'm
not available here. But that I can guarantee you that I will do the very best I can to
honor all that I've signed up for in terms of the CUP and also for the short term
rental activities that I agreed to.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. No more speakers.
Madam Clerk: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: I will open it up for us to talk about again.
Ms. Klein: So I appreciate what the applicant is trying to do. I moved down to this area
because my mom was here. It was right after I had my son and I needed that extra
support. And so I can imagine that, that his son is thrilled that his parents want to
come in and help with the baby, congratulations, and at the same time, it sounds
like this neighborhood is saturated.And while I believe that the applicant would be
a great homeowner, and make sure that the property is taking care of, even when
you vetted the people that come into your home, you can't guarantee what they're
going to do. And so while I certainly applaud their efforts, he is a victim of the
wrongs of the people before him it sounds like.
8
Mr. Weiner: Okay, thank you. I have a question for staff and I'm just asking a question. Do we
actually know that this from the shooting was any illegal short term rental or illegal
rental property, or was it a legal property rental? Do we know that?
Mr. Tajan: Yes, sir. We were notified immediately. Once we were aware of the issue, that
property was not a legal short term rental. So it was cited appropriately.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. I just wanted to ask a question, nobody ever actually said that, the last
question. Any other comments? Yes, Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: I'd like to say to Mr. Blevins that, unfortunately, a lot of the responsibility is being
placed upon the neighbors to figure out what to do. Now, Ms. Oliver gave you the
number 311, that number is actually 385-3111. Okay and it's going to be where
the City gathers information to let a short term rental exist or not exist, is based on
say, if you see 20 people there that starting to be a party, you can call 311 and
say, this is what's going on. And the proper authorities will assist you in making
that complaint known to city council so that when that property comes up for
review, it either gets denied or re-approved based on what has happened in the
past. So that's kind of where we have to go from, what do we do when we see
something going on in a short term rental, they also have to have their number
posted on the building. So that gives you some more information to find out how
to reach out to the person who owns it and operates it.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: I think that the Lambs are very upstanding individuals and very sincere in their plan
to operate the short term rental, but it's, it's tough for me to make a decision
against, you know, some of the opposition that has come forward to the short term
rental in that area.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Yes, Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: I think it was in the fall of 2020 that we really heard numerous people come forward
and opposition civic leagues and all that, and I think I heard it loud and clear, and
I'm hearing it loud and clear today. So I'm just letting you know, I won't be
supporting it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Who else, Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Based on what I've heard today, I will not be supporting it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.Anybody want to make a motion, someone has got to, I am sorry, go ahead.
I'm sorry.
9
Mr. Graham: Mr. Chairman, I'll make a motion that we deny. We recommend denial of this
application.
Mr. Weiner: Do we have a second.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed conditional use permit and requesting that the
subject property not be granted short term rental status. Why are our elected officials so eager to
accommodate Airbnb and a small group of investors who aim to turn our residential neighborhoods into
commercial profit centers? One would hope that protecting the quality of life and value of residences
and neighborhoods would be of primary concern. Who wants to buy a property or live in a
neighborhood next to a party house. This commercial venture in a residential neighborhood will destroy
its character and quality of life and reduce property values.
My opposition is also based on these potential/probable negative effects:
• By city ordinance all trash must be kept in automated refuse receptacles;at this time none are
provided.
• By city ordinance one parking space per bedroom is required and no street parking shall be
used. The subject property has four bedrooms but no parking spaces. Please refer to encl (1):
the city plat shows the property line ending far short of Ocean View Ave. End (2)depicts Ocean
View Ave starting at the end of the property line. Encl (3) depicts subject property line ending
26.4 feet beyond building structure. Subject property is utilizing city property as a driveway.
• Encl (4)shows a utility truck parked on city property(the supposed parking area for subject
property). Residents have been told that underground utilities will be starting soon with that
side of the street(city property) being used to accommodate the utilities.Again, no parking.
• By city ordinance parking spaces shall not be impervious. Encl (5) shows the same utility truck
parked on city property on a makeshift gravel/rock driveway.
• Current owner has a residence out of the state of Virginia. Management problems may be an
issue.
• Safety of residents and children. Violence appears to be on the rise. Feb 28, 2021 shots were
fired at the intersection of Fentress and Ocean View Avenues.Shell casings were found and two
vehicles were damaged. The incident occurred at a short term rental. Weekend of Mar 5-7,
2021 a party was held at a short term rental along Holly Road between 56th and 58th streets. A
video circulating on social media has the sound of eight gun shots. Planning Commission
Member Dee Oliver suggested there may be some issues with allowing more properties to be
used as business ventures."All of a sudden, it has become a right or it appears that one
person after another is buying property in a residential neighborhood to conduct a business,
and I am not sure that is exactly what we were intending for our city to go,"said Oliver.
• COVID-19 Pandemic Concerns: States and local governments have been stymied in their efforts
to enact regulations on short term vacation rental platforms. Other states have been
prohibiting rentals to international travelers. They have enacted extensive sanitation
requirements for short term rentals. Other plans allow short-term rentals to domestic travelers
with some restrictions.Travelers coming from "hot spots" are not rented to.Some areas will not
rent to travelers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Louisiana without quarantining.
What mechanism does Virginia Beach and the owner have to protect residents of Chic's Beach
from infection? Do property owners know or care where their tenants come from?
Please vote against the conditional use permit for 4615 Ocean View Ave,Virginia Beach,Va 23455.

To Whom It May Concern,
In receipt of a letter from the City of Virginia Beach Department of Planning and Community Development
we are protesting the issuance of a conditional use permit for the short term rental at 4615 Ocean View
Avenue Virginia Beach. I own the home at 4610 Lauderdale Avenue which is located directly behind the
Ocean View residence. The deck of the Ocean View Avenue property directly faces the bedrooms in our
home. Let it be noted that if the Ocean View Avenue property becomes a short term rental it will severely
diminish our right to peaceful enjoyment of our own property.
A short term rental is not compatible with the residential use of the surrounding properties. Our Civic
league voted against the designation to be included in the short term rental overlay District because we
were fully against it.
My wife and I go to work every morning and my daughter goes to school every day. This would impact
my daughters ability to have a peaceful lifestyle growing up as well as other directly surrounding
neighbors'children. Individuals who are on vacation have different values and perspectives of living and
taking responsibility while vacationing than those of us local homeowners with young families maintaining
our lives and homes day to day.
Last month there was a gun battle that occurred in the middle of a street in our neighborhood with bullets
flying and hitting neighborhood homes which was associated with an AirB&B. We as a neighborhood and
adjoining property line homeowners with the Ocean View Avenue property do not want this happening in
our neighborhood.
There is also a severe shortage of parking in our neighborhood which becomes worse as the vacationers
and short term people move in. The lack of directional signs of how and where to park and police
monitoring is another issue at hand for our neighborhood.
Please consider this protest as a strong request to help keep peace in our neighborhood for our children
and families. As neighboring homeowners our opinions should matter.
Respectfully,
Jason and Kristin McCormack

RE: Conditional Use Permit:Short Term Rental
Linda M. Lamb Living Trust;Applicant
4615 Ocean View Avenue,VA. Beach

Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am writing to express my strong protest of the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for the Short-Term
Rental referenced above and located at 4615 Ocean View Avenue. My family resides at 4609 Ocean
View avenue,directly next door to this building. Approval of this Conditional Use Permit would be a
direct violation of Section 22 of the STR Overlay District,Section 2300 because the property"is not
compatible with the residential use of the surrounding properties."The property was purchased in
March 2021 by an out-of-state owner who intends to use it as a weekly rental, and approval will
adversely impact my and my neighbor's quality of life, lessen our real estate value, and severely diminish
our right to peaceful enjoyment. My son is a freshman at Cox HS, he needs his sleep and not to be
exposed to the partying these part-time neighbors partake in while vacationing.
I request the Commission Member's attention to the following:
1. The Chesapeake Beach neighborhood is not a designated part of the Short-Term Rental Overlay
District, and for good reason. Our Civic League is on record against this designation because our
neighborhood consists of families that work here full time, attend Va. Beach Public Schools,and
are opposed to the imposition of noise, litter and out of control parties that accompany these
types of rentals.
2. Article 22 of the STR Overlay District,Section 2300; Findings Intent state that STR should be
confined to"...where residential dwellings are,and have historically been, rented to vacationers
or others on a short-term basis." This is NOT the situation in Chesapeake Beach,and especially
not on this street,we are full time residents that must get up every morning and go to work!
For this reason alone,this application should be rejected.
3. The property at 4615 Ocean View Avenue does NOT have any on-site parking but must use
street right-of-way parking area. While the on-street parking is designated for public use,the
applicant does not provide the on-site 1-parking space per bedroom as required by the STR
code.
4. Just last month, a party at a STR unit 3-blocks away resulted in a gun battle occurring in the
middle of the street,with bullets flying and hitting neighboring houses. WE DON'T NEED
ANYMORE OF THIS!
As long-term residents and business owners in Virginia Beach,we strongly urge the Planning
Commission to deny this Conditional Use Permit and to preserve the stability and peaceful enjoyment
the residents on Ocean View avenue have a right to expect.
Thank you,
Brian Camden and the Camden Family

RE: Conditional Use Permit: Short Term Rental
Linda M. Lamb Living Trust; Applicant
4615 Ocean View Ave,Va. Beach
GPIN: 15706241244615
Dear Planning Commission Members:
We are writing to express our strong opposition to the proposed short term rental at 4615
Ocean View Ave. This STR applicant is directly across the street from our home. We feel that
we would be so negatively impacted and are actually frightened at the prospect of having it
come to fruition. Our daughter, who graduates in a week from the University of Virginia, is
considering not living at home because of it. Our home is our refuge. We both work full time
and coming home to our beautiful home and neighborhood is our reward. A short term rental
would shatter our feeling of safety and refuge. These STR's have proven to be scary and
unpredictable. Just three months ago in February a STR in our neighborhood got out of hand
and shots were fired a mere block from our house in the middle of the night. By the grace of
God no one was injured, but cars and a house had bullet-hole damage.
We are most frustrated that we have to even go through this process as the applicant does not
have adequate parking as outlined in the regulations of STR. These regulations were put in
place for a reason—reasonable people know that not enough parking leads to problems—traffic,
domestic and otherwise. 4615 Ocean View is short not one space, but two as they have four
bedrooms and two spaces. We would think that after an application was submitted a cursory
inspection by the city would eliminate this application simply based on that fact.
There are plenty of neighborhoods included in the STR Overlay district that the applicant could
have purchased a home and legally operated a STR. Our neighborhood is not part of the STR
Overlay district and for good reason. The Lambs were aware that our neighborhood does not
support STR and our Civic League oppose them before they purchased the house.
We could go on about how these STR's spread out among many neighborhoods strains our first
responders and puts our own constituents in danger. We cannot understand why our city
would support this kind of operation that really contributes nothing positive to our
neighborhoods or to our city. Any fees or taxes levied—which are not significant—are eaten up
with the administrative and enforcement nightmare that they have become.
We are asking sincerely that The Planning Commission members will deny this Conditional Use
Permit at 4615 Ocean View Ave.
Respectfully,
Michael and Caroline Gin erich

Subject:4515 VRBO-OPPOSITION
Mr. Miller,
Good Wednesday AM.
As residents and Tax Payers of Chic's Beach for the past 3+years, my wife and I are opposed to the VRBO proposal
currently under consideration at 463.5 Ocean View Avenue.
Our concerns are twofold:
a. Erosion of property values from surrounding residences(We live two doors down from the proposed property)
2. Quality of life adjustment—What we'll call"Rental Mentality"which will result from this property becoming an"In
&Out"venue
Our biggest concern is there are valuable properties on the street which pay high taxes to the city. As we've seen with
our own experiences in owning a rental property,the owner manager needs to be actively involved in maintaining the
property and local. We have seen a degradation in the structure as beach renters have very little interest in the
property. What did we do? We actively had a local family member who came in and maintained the property each
week! This was an expensive proposition. (We rented an 8 bedroom home for 8 years and had a very high clientele
renting the property. Even then we had numerous issues.) When I purchased my home in 2o27, I understood this was a
quiet community which was experiencing gentrification. If the community starts to rent out these properties, I'd expect
my property value to decline. Hence,this will be a devaluation in the tax base too.
i
Finally, renters have no"vested interest"in the community. It's come to Chic's Beach, party hard(all hours of the day
and night);then leave. As a person who works from home, I view this as a threat to my quality of life. I will be the first
person on the phone to the police if/when any abhorrent behavior(s)occur. (Like the shooting down the street earlier in
the year) Net,while revenues may increase the cost on the quality of life will decline. This means enhanced police
coverage on an already stressed Police force. Expect more police presence here during rental season.
Tell me what is the benefit here to us, our family,or the community at large? I see none except to enhance revenues to
the property owner and to the city. What am I missing.
Net,WE ARE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO THIS RENTAL PROPOSAL AND WILL PROTEST IT AS LONG AS WE
RESIDE AT 4619A OCEAN VIEW AVENUE.
Thank you for allowing me to provide my point of view.
Reach out anytime with questions.

Dear Chesapeake Beach friends and neighbors,
My wife Linda and I(John Lamb) have purchased a home located at 4615 Ocean View Ave.,Chic's Beach
area. We have chosen this local due to the family orientation,close-knit people,and businesses residing
on beach front area.We are relocating to Virginia Beach from Michigan.We would love to spend all of
our time in Virginia Beach area, but we have commitments,and elderly family members,taking away us
from our 4615 Ocean View Ave. home.We estimate throughout the year to be home approximately
75%and absent from Virginia 25%of the time.
As many of you know,we have filed a request to allow us to rent through the Short-Term Rental (STR)
Approval process during the 25%of the year we will not be in Virginia.We want to follow all the current
guidelines/rules being put into place and continue to support the Chic's Community.Currently our STR
plan,during our absence,will allow only one contracted guest into our home per seven-day period.We
plan to advertise the home as a highly rated family friendly environment for families. We will also advise
all renters that they are entering a "neighborhood watch community" and a home with security cameras
in force.We will have home specific rules and STR Rules and Guidelines enforced. We plan to monitor
the property and have our son who lives 10 minutes away do spot checks of renters,and act on our
behalf to address any emergency situations during our absence.

our intent to use Short Term Rental process in 25%of the 2021 calendar year for our home located at

Dear Chesapeake Beach friends and neighbors,
My wife Linda and I (John Lamb) have purchased a home located at 4615 Ocean View Ave.,Chic's Beach
area.We have chosen this local due to the family orientation,close-knit people,and businesses residing
on beach front area.We are relocating to Virginia Beach from Michigan.We would love to spend all of
our time in Virginia Beach area, but we have commitments,and elderly family members,taking away us
from our 4615 Ocean View Ave.home.We estimate throughout the year to be home approximately
75%and absent from Virginia 25%of the time.
As many of you know,we have filed a request to allow us to rent through the Short-Term Rental (STR)
Approval process during the 25%of the year we will not be in Virginia.We want to follow all the current
guidelines/rules being put into place and continue to support the Chic's Community.Currently our STR
plan,during our absence,will allow only one contracted guest into our home per seven-day period.We
plan to advertise the home as a highly rated family friendly environment for families.We will also advise
all renters that they are entering a"neighborhood watch community" and a home with security cameras
in force.We will have home specific rules and STR Rules and Guidelines enforced. We plan to monitor
the property and have our son who lives 10 minutes away do spot checks of renters,and act on our
behalf to address any emergency situations during our absence.
Please give us your blessings with the signing of this form to acknowledge that we have advised you of
our intent to use Short Term Rental process in 25%of the 2021 calendar year for our home located at
4615 Ocean View Avenue.
Please save my telephone number(John—810-772-0101)and my wife's(Linda—810-341-3543)in case
you ever need to get in contact with us directly.
Sincerely,
John and Linda Lamb

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

Dear Ms. Peeble,
I am writing in opposition to the short term rental Conditional Use application for 4615 Ocean
View Avenue in Chic's Beach(I believe I have the street number of the property correct. The
property did not have have the street number posted but the adjacent property's street number
was posted)
My opposition is due to the criminal element that has been introduced to our neighborhood
since short term rentals have been allowed. Please see article below concerning a February
28th incident.
In addition,by allowing short term rentals our neighborhood watch program has become
ineffective. We, as residents,no longer have knowledge of who should or should not be
"hanging around" or whose presence might or might not pose a danger to our community.
Thank you
Daniel J. Blevins

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: KRISTA L. WOODLOCK [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 3709 Rockbridge
Road (GPIN 14894867443709). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
7,400 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D(SD) Residential District (Shore Drive
Overlay). The lot consists of one duplex building with the subject unit containing
three bedrooms. Only one unit is owned by the applicant, Unit 3709. The minimum
number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom,
or three spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after
11:00 p.m. for a three-bedroom Short Term Rental unit is nine; however, at the
time of this writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental
condition revisions reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to two per
bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to
one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 10, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the community of Ocean Park, which consists
primarily of single-family and duplex style residential dwellings as well as multiple
commercial uses along the north and south sides of Shore Drive. The subject lot
is zoned R-5D(SD) Residential District and is approximately 765 feet from the
public beach of the Chesapeake Bay.
The applicant's parking plan depicts the three required off-street parking spaces,
one within the garage and two in the driveway. As permitted by Section 241.2(1)
of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan
and deemed it acceptable; however, a condition is recommended that assures
the garage will always be available for the Short Term Rental occupants.
Furthermore, the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the attached Staff
Report.

To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to oppose the approval of a short term rental at 3709 Rockbridge Rd. Ocean Park and our
neighborhood is a residential community and we would like to keep it that way. There are no hotels, short
term rentals or such businesses that will bring traffic and ongoing stream of strangers to our community.

This a clip from tonight at about 10 pm at the front of my house. This is actually low key and
a Monday night. In the beginning of the clip you can see a car actually sitting in Jim and
Jackie's yard. The people going to Bucketheads are even using the reality parking lot across
the street which you can see as well. If it was a Wed or Thursday night there would be twice
as many cars. Weekends during the summer are even more crowded. I felt this was
important for the everyone to see so they know what goes on daily on Rockbridge and Shore
drive.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: STANDARD COMMUNITY, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 427 Peregrine
Street (GPIN 1467773665). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
1,999 square-foot parcel zoned A-12 Apartment District. The lot consists of one
attached townhome dwelling containing two bedrooms. The minimum number of
parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or two
spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00
p.m. for a two-bedroom Short Term Rental is six; however, at the time of this
writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions
reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting
the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 10, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Northridge subdivision, which was created by
plat in three sections in 1979/80 and contains 368 townhome lots. The proposed
parking plan shows both required parking spaces within the existing driveway,
which meets the requirements of Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance.
In addition, the remaining requirements of Section 241.2 of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the
applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this
item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 6-0, to
recommend approval of this request.

street parking spaces.The proposed parking plan shows both parking spaces within the driveway in front of the unit,
which meet the requirements of Section 241.2(1)of the City Zoning Ordinance (CZO). Furthermore,the remaining
requirements of Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by
the applicant, although this area of the City does not typically have Short Term Rentals.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below;
however,the recommended conditions do reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of
bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: WILLIAM GEORGHIOU [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 3608 E. Stratford Road
(GPIN 1489584711). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
6,827 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D(SD) Residential District. The lot consists of
one single-family home containing five bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or five spaces in
this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
five-bedroom Short Term Rental is fifteen; however, at the time of this writing, the
applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing
the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the
number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 14, 2021 , Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the community of Ocean Park, which consists of
predominately single-family and duplex dwellings. The subject lot is zoned R-
5D(SD) Residential District, Shore Drive Overlay, which permits both single-family
and duplex dwellings. In addition, the site lies approximately 530 feet from the
public beach of the Chesapeake Bay.
The applicant's parking plan shows all five required off-street parking spaces on-
site; one space in the existing residential garage and four spaces in the driveway.
As permitted by Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable; however, a
condition is recommended that assures the garage will always be available for the
Short Term Rental occupants. Furthermore, the requirements of Section 241 .2 of
the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by
the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

This property is located within the community of Ocean Park, which consists primarily of single-family and duplex style
dwellings. The subject lot is zoned R-5D Residential District (Shore Drive Overlay), which permits both single-family and
duplex dwellings and sits approximately 345 feet from the Lynnhaven Bay.
Five on-site parking spaces are accommodated with four spaces in the driveway and one is located in the garage. As
permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan and
deemed it acceptable;however,a condition is recommended that assures the garage will always be available for the Short
Term Rental occupants.Furthermore,the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.

AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: ANDREW BROYLES [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 3604 E. Stratford Road (GPIN
1489583787). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
6,832 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D(SD) Residential District. The lot consists of
one single-family home containing four bedrooms. The minimum number of
parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or four
spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11 :00
p.m. for a four-bedroom Short Term Rental is twelve; however, at the time of this
writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions
reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting
the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 14, 2021 , Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the community of Ocean Park, which consists of
predominately single-family and duplex dwellings. The subject lot is zoned R-

Evaluation & Recommendation
This property is located within the community of Ocean Park, which consists primarily of single-family and duplex style
dwellings. The subject lot is zoned R-5D Residential District (Shore Drive Overlay), which permits both single-family and
duplex dwellings and sits approximately 350 feet from the Lynnhaven Bay.
Four on-site parking spaces are accommodated with four spaces in the driveway and two parking spaces partially in the
right-of-way. As the two spaces within the right-of-way do not block vehicular or pedestrian traffic, the Zoning
Administrator has deemed this plan acceptable. Staff believes that all other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can reasonably be met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below;
however,the recommended conditions do reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of
bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: KIM DAVENPORT [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 8809 Atlantic Avenue, Units
A & B (GPIN 25105128360000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
This request was indefinitely deferred on June 1 , 2021 at the City Council public
hearing. The deferral was requested to address the possibility of saving a tree from
removal, which was originally proposed in order to make room for a future
driveway. The applicant revised the driveway plan. The new plan will not require
the removal of the tree.
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
4,668 square-foot parcel zoned R-5R(NE) Residential District (North End Overlay).
The lot consists of one duplex building with each of the two units containing two
bedrooms. Both units are part of this request and both units are owned by the
applicant. The minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term
Rental is one per bedroom, or two spaces for each unit (four spaces in all). The
maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for each two-bedroom
Short Term Rental unit is six (12 in all); however, at the time of this writing, the
applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing
the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the
number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 10, 2021, Host Compliance shows the property as advertised for rent
with a minimum 30 night stay.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the North End community, which is comprised of single-
family and duplex-style dwellings. The subject property is within one block of the
Atlantic Ocean and is adjacent to the entrance of Fort Story Military Base. When
this duplex was constructed in 1969, two on-site parking spaces were required,
one for each unit. At some point, both required on-site parking spaces were
removed and replaced with decking and patio space. After eliminating the
prescribed on-site spaces, a replacement parking area was created to serve this
building. This replacement area, which is currently located along Atlantic Avenue,
consists of a gravel surface placed within the City right-of-way. The removal of the
Kim Davenport
Page 2 of 4
required on-site parking spaces was done in violation of the City Zoning Ordinance
by an unknown previous owner. Because Short Term Rental uses require one off-
street parking space per bedroom, the applicant has proposed to correct the off-
street parking deficiency by adding a new driveway and entryway apron, which has
been reviewed and approved by.Public Works/Traffic Engineering. As allowed by
Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed
and approved this proposal; and includes Conditions 3 and 4 are recommended to
address the parking matter. The remaining requirements of Section 241.2 of the
City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by
the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
One letter of support and one letter of opposition was received by Staff related to
this request. The letter of opposition expressed concern relating to the removal of
an existing tree to make room for the proposed driveway. The author of the letter
feels the tree acts as a sound and vision buffer from the traffic entering Fort Story.
In addition, the letter of opposition also stated concerns relating a perceived
adverse effect on the character of the neighborhood if a Short Term Rental were
allowed.
• Recommendation:
On April 14, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
denial of this request by a vote of 8 to 0. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 8809
Atlantic Avenue, Units A & B, and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur
in the principal structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
3. As illustrated in the "Site Layout and Parking Plan" section of the Staff report,
an entryway driveway apron meeting the minimum Public Works Specifications
and Standards shall be added within 90-days of City Council's approval of this
request. All applicable building permits shall be obtained by the Permits and
Inspections Division of the Department of Planning and Community
Development prior to placement.
4. An on-site parking area shall be added as illustrated in the parking plan found
in the Staff report. The proposed surface material type shall be concrete
pavers, or a substitute material approved by the Zoning Administrator. The
driveway addition shall be placed within 90-days of City Council approval. In
addition, a building permit issued by the Permits and Inspections Division of the
Planning Department shall be obtained prior to the installation of the driveway
addition.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 4,668 square foot lot is zoned R-5R(NE) Residential District and contains one duplex building.The applicant
owns both units within the duplex building.
• According to City records,this duplex building was constructed in 1969 and each unit contains two bedrooms.
• Staff inspected the site on March 2, 2021 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.
• In 1969,the year this duplex was constructed,the City Zoning Ordinance required one off-street parking space
per unit, or two spaces in this instance. In addition, parking space surface material was not regulated on
properties containing one and two family dwellings. Consequently, compacted gravel was a popular choice for
homes built during that era.At some point, both required on-site parking spaces were removed from the front
of the subject property adjacent to 89th Street,where the decking and patio sit currently.Thereafter, parking for
the property shifted to the city right-of-way along Atlantic Avenue, but again, it is unclear when this occurred.
• As illustrated on the applicant's parking plan, a new driveway and apron is proposed for this property.
• On-street parking is permitted 24-hours per day on a portion of the eastern side of the 8800 block of Atlantic
Avenue. No on-street parking is permitted on the west side of Atlantic Avenue.Additionally, no on-street
parking is permitted in the 100 block of 89th Street.
• No records of zoning violations relating to Short Term Rental use were found associated with the subject
address.
• Known Short Term Rental activity as of March 22,2021:
CURRENTLY ADVERTISED LAST KNOWN RENTAL REGISTERED WITH THE
COMMISSIONER OF THE REVENUE
Unit A:Yes Unit A: Last 31-60 days Unit A:Yes
Unit B:Yes Unit B: Last 61-120 days Unit B:Yes
• The applicant accepts City Council's recently imposed conditions reducing the number of bookings in a seven
day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This site is located within the North End community,which is primarily comprised of single-family and duplex-style
dwellings.The subject property sits within one block of the Atlantic Ocean and is positioned adjacent to the entrance of
Fort Story Military Base.When this duplex was constructed two on-site parking spaces were required,one for each unit.
At some point, both required on-site parking spaces were removed and replaced with decking and patio space.After
eliminating the prescribed on-site spaces, a replacement parking area was created to serve this building.This
replacement area,which is currently located along Atlantic Avenue,consists of a gravel surface placed within the city
right-of-way.The removal of the required on-site parking spaces was done in violation of the City Zoning Ordinance by
an unknown previous owner. Because Short Term Rental uses require one off-street parking space per bedroom,the
applicant has proposed to correct the off-street parking deficiency by adding a new driveway and entryway apron,which
has been reviewed and approved by Public Work—Traffic Engineering. As allowed by Section 241.2(1)of the City Zoning
Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator reviewed and approved this proposal; however,conditions#3 and#4 are
recommended to address the matter.The remaining requirements of Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below;
however,the recommended conditions do reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number of
bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom
Recommended Conditions

Kim Davenport [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
8809 Atlantic Avenue, Units A&B
April 14, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Right, we're on to short-term rentals, 19 and 20.
Madam Clerk: Okay, our next agenda items are 19 and 20. Kim Davenport, an application for a
Conditional Use Permit, Short-Term Rental on property located at 8809 Atlantic Avenue, Units A
and B in the Lynnhaven District.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Davenport: Kim Davenport.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Davenport: I'd like -- good afternoon to the members of the Planning Commission. I
appreciate the time you give us to have our input on these subjects.
I'm here today to hopefully convince the Virginia Beach Planning Commission to recommend my
Atlantic Avenue residence for a Conditional Use Permit to allow Short-Term Rentals. My wife
Jeanie and I bought the 8809 Atlantic Avenue in late 2018 to use as a rental, and hopefully one
day be able to afford to make the north end property our permanent residence.
The property is a duplex with the size, location and layout suited as a vacation type cottage. It
was on the market for four months with no buyers. Prospective owners did not find it financially
viable or didn't want to put the time and money in for repairs and upgrades it needed and the lot
was not big enough to make a financial profit by raising the cottage and making it a three-story
monolithic monstrosity duplex. This was fortunate for myself and my wife, as we love the property
as it is with its old-fashioned charm. We would never invest in a property that we would not love
to live in as our own residence.
When we purchased the residence, it was unoccupied, rundown and in disrepair. We spent the
next six months renovating, landscaping and furnishing the property to restore it to its original
intended use as a beach cottage. We intended initially to keep it as a monthly rental but found it
was more suitable for a weekly rental. Each unit is a very small two-bedroom one-and-a-half bath
with fireplace and a very small lot with no real yard to speak of. It was built to be used as a summer
cottage with both units sharing a common laundry room. Each duplex is 900 square foot, can
accommodate a family of four, maybe six with pre-teenage children. The back unit has a small
deck that is completely enclosed with the six-foot privacy fence.
1
The front unit has a little more outdoor area, but still has a small deck enclosed by a continuation
of the six-foot privacy fence, followed by a 20-foot length of a small picket fence to 89th Street.
Once zoning approves the parking spots to put in, the outdoor area will be reduced further and
the patio will be more of a walkway. On the other side of the property from the six-foot privacy
fence is Atlantic Avenue with no adjacent neighbors.
The point I'm trying to stress is that there is no space available both for outdoor activities of any
size, and since we have owned the property there have been no social gatherings or outdoor
events except the family meal or enjoying an adult beverage on the picnic table.To my knowledge
to date, there have been no complaints from any neighbor for any reason. But in fact, we have
been repeatedly told by the neighbor that the vacation renters we were renting to are always
pleasant and considerate. As to parking issues, there have never been any complaints or
violations.
As a short-term family rental, most occupants have one car, on occasion maybe two. When we
put in the recently zoned approval for brick paver parking spots on the 89th Street side, we will
actually increase the neighborhood parking by freeing up the four spots on the Atlantic Avenue
easement we currently use for parking. This can be seen on the site plan submitted with my CUP
application. The research and investigation into understanding the parking issues is one of the
reasons I was late in filing for my CUP. I've learned a valuable lesson that if I ever attempt to buy
a residence in an older neighborhood again,that I make sure the perceived parking spots that are
shown on the site plan --that I make sure that perceived parking spots are shown on the site plan
and within the boundaries of the purchased property.
The renters move the trash receptacles to the street on the trash pickup day and then back to the
side of the property afterwards. If they don't do it, our cleaners do. If our cleaners don't do it, then
Jeanie or myself will drive down to the property and move them. We have security cameras and
monitor them carefully for the safety of our renters and security of the property when not occupied.
Again,we have never heard or seen of any issues except an occasional lockout or a renter unable
to open a key box. We do not allow pets as there -- so there are no barking dogs to annoy the
neighbors.
Before I was aware of the Short-Term Rental CUP requirements,we did do some summer rentals
in 2020. I had submitted a list of those for you to review so you have an understanding of the type
of people and renters who use the property. The overwhelming number of them were small
families, as you can see; they are grateful and impressed with the natural beauty, quaintness and
charm of the North End and it is for this reason they prefer the location as opposed to the crowds
and the noise of the resort area.
There is no difference between the residence being owner-occupied or visitor-vacation rental
occupied. Both have cars, both used in the neighborhood for transportation and for using local
parking spots. So, the traffic is the same. Both have occupants. So, the number of residents in
the neighborhood are the same. Both use the beaches, trails, bike paths, outdoor activity, so the
outdoor activities are the same. One difference is that an owner-occupied property will not give
Virginia Beach the benefit of the lodging tax revenue. Another difference is with the Short-Term
2
Rental you have a new family each week enjoying the North End Virginia Beach experience for
the beauty of the beach, creating new once-in-a-lifetime family memories by enjoying the North
End Maritime Forest and the Atlantic Ocean Beach, First Landing State Park, biking trails, local
sites and enjoying local restaurants.
If the Civic League did not want a Short-Term Rental, I'm sure it wouldn't prefer a long-term group
house rental by a dozen group friends staying there over the summer.This would not be overseen
and managed as well as a Short-Term Rental. I myself and a group of friends did a short rental
when I was younger, and I would never do this to my property or to my neighbors. If the property
is not available for the Short-Term Rental, then will most likely alternative as a monthly to annual
rental. There is no -- for which there would be no Virginia lodging tax revenue. And it would
probably be rented to a younger non-married individual and be susceptible to non-tenant
overnight stays and parties with their friends.
If the tenant turned out to be bad and created the type of neighborhood disturbances the civic
league is concerned with, then it would take three months to evict them, if at all. The advantage
of the Short-Term Rental is the risk is with the owner of losing the Conditional Use Permit, and
the owner must be extra vigilant and proactive to make sure the laws are complied with and the
guests are managed.
About a month ago, there was a justifiable outcry from the neighbors and from the speakers at
the different Commission sessions for a three-day all-night party and a discharge of a firearm that
took place about a month ago. However, I believe the blame and perpetrator of this incident
directed at illegal Short-Term Rental was not justifiable. As I understand, the residence was not
a legally permitted Short-Term Rental and was in fact was a rogue resident owner allowing this
rude and unacceptable behavior. If it was a legally permitted Short-Term Rental, the owner would
never have allowed it knowing their permit would be revoked.And if I'm wrong, and it was a legal
CUP Short-Term Rental, I would be the first to insist that the CUP is revoked.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions? Yeah, you have a question.
Ms. Klein: I saw that your application was submitted early November of 2020. When did you
discontinue your short-term rentals?
Mr. Davenport: It was at that time.
Ms. Klein: Okay, so no rentals after November 2020.
Mr. Davenport: Correct. When I started, I was -- I registered with the business revenue thinking
that was all I needed to do because it was an application for a Short-Term Rental. Over time and
trying to keep up with the laws I found out I was mistaken. So, we filed the application. We
cancelled all future rentals and returned their deposits and since then I have rented to long-term
renters. And I've had family and friends and myself use the residence.
3
Ms. Klein: Thank you. Mr. Tajan, we are engaged in an ongoing conversation with the
Commissioner of Revenue to make sure that they share that information with registrants, right?
Mr. Tajan: Yes. We do the best we can to share the information as much as possible.
Mr. Davenport: It's well-documented. You say it on all of your applications. So once the
application is submitted--
Mr. Weiner: Sure. Hold on one second. Let Mr. --
Mr. Tajan: We do our best to make sure we relay the information. Again, a lot of people have
been submitting things online. But, yes, we have been in constant discussion and review with the
Commissioner of Revenue to make sure that we're sharing that information.
Ms. Klein: Is it possible to get something added to the Commissioner of Revenue application?
Would that be an option if they're doing it online?
Mr. Tajan: We can ask. We will ask.
Ms. Klein: Thank you.
Mr. Tajan: So, any business license, well --
Mr. Weiner: Any comment?
Mr. Tajan: There is a --
Ms. Eisenberg: No, I was just going to say we can't force them to do that. Bobby is right, we can
just ask nicely.
Mr. Weiner: I like that.
Mr. Tajan: There is a -- again, typically if they're getting their business license, they are required
to get Zoning approval, which is how we catch a number of these as well. It is different if they are
just registering to pay the amount. That means they're probably represented by a Real Estate
Company and so they typically just register them and take the money so --
Ms. Oliver: Sir, did you go down in person to the Commissioner of Revenue's office to register?
Mr. Davenport: No, I did not.
Ms. Oliver: You did not. Okay. Couple of questions I have for you, sir, is when you were renting
short-term you rented it, according to all your letters, at least 64 times, which is --that's a quite a
bit, including your cleaning lady, who said, you know -- and they're all great reviews, obviously
but there's 64 reviews, which means that you've rented at 64 separate times.
4
And being that the -- and I've noticed that you mentioned the North End Civic League, the North
End Civic League is pretty loud Civic League, and they do put out a newsletter and an email and
they collect dues. And so, I've just -- it's interesting to me that you didn't -- during this time that
you've owned this property and have been renting it all, all along that you were unaware that you
needed a CUP because that Civic League is quite...
Mr. Davenport: I was never notified by anyone. I talked to my neighbors, they -- I have one
adjacent neighbor who I talk to on a regular basis. They did not mention it. I did not hear it from
the Civic League.
Ms. Oliver: Well, the Civic League is not going to reach out to you, but the Civic League -- that
Civic League, specifically, is very large,very loud, and it communicates very well with pretty much
everybody there. They put fliers in the mailboxes. I mean, that's a significant...
Mr. Davenport: I can't speak for that. I know I was not contacted. And this was over a period of
late 2019-2020.
Mr. Weiner: Any more questions? All right, thank you sir. I don't think there are any more
speakers, correct?
Mr. Davenport: Thank you for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. We're going to close this and open up for discussion. We don't have a
Lynnhaven representative, who is closest to Lynnhaven Beach?
Ms. Oliver: I'll start it. I'm familiar with this street just because my grandparents lived on this
street, pretty much all my life. There's no parking on the street whatsoever or around the corner
or on the ocean side of this street at all. And I just have a problem with somebody that's -- he's
been operating for— well he bought it in 2018. Started renting at -- and he's rented it a lot. And
he's short on his parking to boot. And so, I just have -- I can't. I'm not going to support this
application. But that's where I am.
Mr. Weiner: Anyone else? Jack? Turn your mic on.
Mr. Tajan: It's just for staff and it's the map update on 03-11-2021. It's just a formality. But before
-- if it goes to Council, I think that blue dots supposed to be a yellow -- you know, that because
it's showing as registered. Or maybe that is right. That is the problem, is that it is registered as --
that is correct. Okay. Yep, got it. Okay, thanks.
Mr. Weiner: Any other comments? I'm going to make one because I'm the one that actually
brought this up, that I couldn't support this. And the sign has been up for a long time and I've
ridden by it quite a few times, and I actually walked around at one time and waiting for the staff
report to come out. I couldn't -- I didn't know where anybody was going to park because there's
no parking. And when I read the staff report, they're going to cut trees down to make a driveway.
5
You know how I feel about pouring concrete for driveways; I definitely cannot support cutting trees
down for a driveway. So, I'm not going to support this one either.
Mr. Weiner: So, anybody want to make a motion? I'm sorry. I need a motion.
Ms. Oliver: I'll make a motion to deny.
Mr. Weiner: I'm sorry. No, no, sir don't --
Ms. Oliver: Make a motion to deny Application Agenda Item Number 19 and 20.
Mr. Weiner: Anybody going to second it?
Mr. Alcaraz: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a second. We have motion by Mrs. Oliver and seconded by Mr. Alcaraz
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Madam Clerk: The motion is to deny the application. Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.

Subject: Proposed Overlay District for North End for Short Term Rentals and Conditional Use Permit Request For STR At
8809 Atlantic Ave,Va Beach
Date: Thursday,March 11,2021 11:15:23 AM
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.
Will Miller,
As a follow up to your recent voicemail message on STR matters you handle for the
City,we own property at 118 89th street which is part of duplex with 116 89th street.We are situated
just off Atlantic Ave on south side of street.Fort Story is immediately north of us.
Our neighbor at 8809 Atlantic Ave is seeking a conditional use permit for STR.Notification signs have
been posted on the property.We have advised owners,Kim and Jeanie
Davenport that we could not support their request as we feel STR use would adversely affect the
residential character of our neighborhood and the enjoyment our family has experienced for the
past fifteen years.
It is our understanding that the City will require Davenports to relocate the parking they
currently have along Atlantic Ave to the north side of the property with access from 89th street.This
will require the removal of mature trees that have been a landmark for the neighborhood providing
a visual and sound buffer from traffic on Atlantic Ave especially at peak hours at Fort Story Gate.
St.The residential character of the North End warrants protection and enhancement.The current
effort to amend the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals in the City and the
subject Conditional Use Permit Request puts the quality and character of our property and North
End area in jeopardy.Please feel free to contact us.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: DAN & SARA BAILEY [Applicant& Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 103 57th Street, Unit A (GPIN
24198131000001). COUNCIL DISTRICT — LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
7,500 square-foot parcel zoned R-5R(NE) Residential District(North End Overlay).
The lot consists of one duplex building with the subject unit containing three
bedrooms. Only one unit is owned by the applicant, Unit A. The minimum number
of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or three
spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00
p.m. for a three-bedroom Short Term Rental unit is nine; however, at the time of
this writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition
revisions reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom
and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These
changes are reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 10, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This site is located within the North End community, which is a mix of single-family
and duplex-style dwellings. The subject property is 75 feet west of the 57th Street
Atlantic Ocean public beach access, is within easy biking distance to the
oceanfront boardwalk and other resort venues and is adjacent to an existing hotel.
The applicant's parking plan depicts all three required off-street parking spaces
within the existing driveway, which meets the requirements of Section 241.2(1)the
City Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the
applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
One letter of concern and one letter of opposition was received by Staff related to
this request. The author of the letter of concern stated that they are not"proponents
of Short Term Rentals as the City has proposed and approved;” however, they did
not object to the applicant renting the home once a week. The opposition letter
Dan & Sara Bailey
Page 2 of 4
noted objections based on a perceived decline in quality of life as a result of the
Short Term Rental use.
• Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this
item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 6-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 103
57th Street, Unit A, and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the
principal structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
3. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of
approval. The renewal process of this Conditional Use Permit may be
administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the
Planning Department shall notify the City Council in writing prior to the renewal
of any Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental where the Short Term
Rental has been the subject of neighborhood complaints, violations of its

Will: I am writing concerning the above request of our new neighbors,the Baileys, at 103 57th
Street, Virginia Beach,VA 23451. I own the property at 105 57th Street.
They are asking for my support in their request for approval of a CUP for STR of their property.
While that property has been rented on a weekly basis by past owners, I am not a proponent of STR
as the City has proposed and approved. I am OK with One (1) rental per week as is traditional during
the summer and usually is from Saturday to Saturday.
My position is more in line with the North Virginia Beach Civic League (NVBCL).
I have only met Mrs. Bailey briefly and therefore do not know them well enough to sign their request
in agreement to their CUP/STR application. I do not intend to fill out this letter or return it to them,
although it neighborly to inform the adjacent property owner(s).
Attached is the letter the Baileys left in my mailbox which briefly explains their intentions, but in no
way promises just one rental per week. I do not want to check the "I object" box either as that is not
my intention to object to their ability to have one rental per week; if that is their intention and long
term commitment.
If you need to discuss this, please call or email me with any questions.
Thank you for reviewing my concerns.
Best regards,
Michael Parker, owner of 105 57th Street,Virginia Beach,VA 23451

Dear sirs,
I am a full time resident and owner of the property that is adjacent to 103 57th St unit A.
I am AGAINST the conditional use permit turning that property to a short term rental.The quality of life on this
street will change forever I have lived here for many years and cherish the North End neighborhood.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: TODD E. SWEIGART [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 507 19th Street (GPIN
24270705750000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
7,000 square-foot parcel zoned A-12(OB) Apartment District (Old Beach Overlay).
The lot consists of one single-family home containing three bedrooms. The
minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per
bedroom, or three spaces in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests
on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a three-bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however,
at the time of this writing, the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental
condition revisions reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to two per
bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to
one. These changes are reflected in the conditions below.
As of May 28, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active STR
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
The site is located within the ViBe Creative District, which is home to a myriad of
commercial and residential uses with an emphasis on arts and culture. In addition,
the property lies approximately 1 ,900 feet, or .3 miles, from the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean.
The applicant's parking plan depicts three required off-street parking spaces, all in
the existing concrete and gravel driveway located to the rear of the home. A vehicle
access ingress/egress easement straddles the property line separating 505 and
507 19th Street. This access point is used as a travel path to the rear yard parking
behind both homes. In this instance, the applicant owns both properties, 505 and
507 19th Street. As a result, he retains solitary control over the existing deeded
access.
As permitted by Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable. In addition, the
requirements of Section 241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant
Todd E. Sweigart

Further details pertaining to the application are provided in the attached Staff
Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

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

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

Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
507 199' Street
May 12, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are applications that are
recommended for approval by staff, the Planning Commission concurred, and
there are no speakers signed up in opposition. We have four items on the consent
agenda today. The first item is agenda item number one by which is going to be
presented by city staff.
Mr. Kemp: Good afternoon Chairman, Commission. For the record, my name is Kevin Kemp;
I am the Zoning Administrator here in Virginia Beach. Item one is an ordinance
amendment which modifies the Zoning Ordinance in regards to the sign
regulations, particularly making them content neutral and in line with some current
court decisions that have been made. What this ordinance does is first changes
the regulations for billboards; our current ordinance regulates billboards based on
their content.And what I mean by content is a billboard is an offsite sign advertising
something not on that site. Well to know if you're advertising something on the site
or off the site, you have to read the billboard therefore making it content based. So
what this ordinance does is, it makes all outdoor advertising signs,takes billboards
out, and any sign is permitted on the site as a free standing sign, but that sign is
held to the dimensional standards of what is normally allowed in that Zoning District
for freestanding signs. So billboards are not their own use. The second thing that
this ordinance does is it removes the Zoning Administrators ability to modify non-
conforming signs where in the past if an applicant wished to take non-conforming
sign and alter it to make it better, there was an administrative process through my
office that that could be done. This now puts that process only by City Council
approval. The last thing in the ordinance is in regards to electronic signs and these
would only be permitted in two instances. The first are for major entertainment
venues. These are venues such as The Aquarium that require City Council
approval and therefore City Council would dictate the number of electronic signs
and the size and the second instance is for fuel prices.And these would be allowed
only on properties that dispense fuel and they would be limited to one sign. Are
there any questions?
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you Commission.
1
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda? Okay.
The next item on the consent agenda is item number - agenda item number four.
Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Beaman: Mr. Vice Chair, Members of the Commission for the record, my name is Rob
Beaman. I'm a local land use attorney at the Troutman Pepper Law Firm here today
on behalf of the applicant for agenda item number four, we've had a chance to
read the conditions, they are acceptable and we appreciate being on the consent
agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent
agenda? Hearing none, we've asked Ms. Klein to read this into the record.
Ms. Klein: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a mini warehouse in order
to construct a 25,000 square foot indoor self storage facility on this B4 mixed
district zoned parcel. A portion of the property contains a parking lot and
undeveloped area. The proposed building will be a climate controlled three story
mini warehouse building with the total height of 43 feet and it matches the
surrounding area. The applicant is seeking a deviation to the required 35 foot front
yard setback which staff approves. Based on the consideration staff recommends
approval of the application subject to the conditions and the Planning Commission
concurs.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number nine. Is there a
representative for this item? Okay, seeing none. Is there any opposition for this
item to be on the consent agenda? Hearing none. We've asked Mr. Redmond to
read this into the record.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me. Thank you, Mr. Wall. This is an application for a Conditional Use
Permit for a family daycare home at 1105 Voss Court. The applicant is requesting
the CUP fora daycare facility of up to 12 children within this single family dwelling.
It's a 7500 square foot parcel and seems to be very well organized and laid out for
this particular use. The applicant has 22 years of experience caring for children.
Staff sees no reason why it should be denied. Planning Commission sees no
reason why it should be denied and we therefore place it on consent. Thank you,
Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number 10. Is there a
representative for this item? Okay.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Wall there is, she had signed, Diana Buhrmann had signed up virtually, but
she is not online. So is Diana Buhrmann here?
2
Mr. Wall: Okay. Is there any opposition for this to be on the consent agenda? Okay, hearing
none, we've asked Mr. Graham to read this into the record.
Mr. Graham: Thank you, Mr. Wall. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a
family daycare home to care for up to 12 children within a single family dwelling.
The 5401 square foot parcel is zoned PD-H1 planned unit development and is
located in the Magic Hollow neighborhood at 998 Boughton Way in the Rose Hall
District. This request for a Conditional Use Permit in staffs opinion is consistent
with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the suburban
area. Staff finds the property to be well organized and well kept; successfully
promoting the policies intended to ensure the maintenance and sustainability of
great neighborhoods. For these reasons,staff recommends approval and Planning
Commission agrees with this recommendation.Therefore we have placed it on the
consent agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Graham. So that ends the regular consent agenda. 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. Staff and the Planning
Commission supports the applications and there are no speakers signed up in
opposition and that includes agenda items number 15, 17 and 20. Those were the
last items on the consent agenda. I move for approval of agenda items 1, 4, 9, 10,
15, 17, and 20. We have a motion. Do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, second by Ms. Klein.
Mr. Redmond:Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: I'm sorry. Go ahead. That's right.
Mr. Redmond:Number one, I am abstaining on agenda item number 8, for the same reason as
before, there's work colleague of mine who is a member of the partnership that
owns this property and so that's just too close for comfort. I also am abstaining on
all of the short-term rental applications. I have a letter on file with the City Attorney's
Office, I have a client who's in the travel industry, and that too, is too close for
comfort. So I do not vote on short-term rental applications or ordinances. Thank
you.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else?
3
Ms. Wilson: You have a letter on file saying that you will abstain from all short-term rental
applications, has that changed?
Mr. Graham: Yes, ma'am that has been withdrawn.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. And you will now vote on those applications?
Mr. Graham: That is correct. I do not have a conflict.
Ms. Wilson: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Yes, sir. 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 is absent Mr. Inman is absent. Ms. Klein?
Ms. Klein: Aye.

Madam Clerk: Vice Chair Wall?

Mr. Weiner: Aye.

have been approved. Agenda items 15, 17 and 20 by recorded vote of seven in

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: SPIVAK FAMILY TRUST [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 229 16th Street (GPIN
24271678310229). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
26,500 square-foot parcel zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form Based Code District.
The lot consists of one retail use and 10 residential condominium units. Only one
unit is owned by the applicant, 229 16th Street. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental use is one per bedroom, or three spaces
in this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
three-bedroom Short Term Rental unit is nine; however, at the time of this writing,
the applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions
reducing the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting
the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 1, 2021, Host Compliance shows no active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
■ Considerations:
The subject property lies within the resort area of the oceanfront. Specifically, the
proposed Short Term Rental is located within the Seahorse Cove Condominiums.
The surrounding property consists of a myriad of uses, including, but not limited
to, retail establishments, hotels, commercial parking lots, amusements,
restaurants, and bars. In addition, the subject dwelling sits approximately 550-feet
from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean.
To fulfill the off-street parking requirement, the applicant is proposing to utilize two
existing on-site spaces and one off-site space. The on-site spaces include the use
of one permanently assigned outdoor parking space and one residential garage
space. The off-site parking space will be located within a commercial parking lot at
the corner of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Arctic Avenue, approximately 630 feet
from the subject address (.1 miles). Accordingly, an informal intent to lease
document for the off-site space was submitted to Staff.
Spivak Family Trust
Page 2 of 4
As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator approved the parking plan with the stipulation that the off-site space
always be available when the home is leased for Short Term Rental purposes. A
condition was added to address this matter. In addition, the other requirements of
Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be
reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to this application
are provided in the attached Staff report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The subject property lies within the resort area of the oceanfront. Specifically,the proposed Short Term Rental is located
within the Seahorse Cove Condominiums.The entire site includes one retail use and 10 residential condominium units.
The surrounding property consists of a myriad of uses, including, but not limited to, retail establishments, hotels,
commercial parking lots, amusements, and bars/restaurants. In addition,the subject dwelling sits approximately 550-
feet from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean.
To fulfill the off-street parking requirement,the applicant is proposing to utilize two existing on-site spaces and one off-
site space.The on-site spaces include the use of one permanently assigned outdoor parking space and one residential
garage space.The off-site parking space will be located within a commercial parking lot at the corner of Virginia Beach
Boulevard and Arctic Avenue, approximately 630 feet from the subject address (.1 miles). Accordingly, an informal intent
to lease document for the off-site space was submitted to Staff.
As permitted by Section 241.2(1)of the City Zoning Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator approved the parking plan with
the stipulation that the off-site space always be available when the home is leased for Short Term Rental purposes. A
recommended condition was added to address this matter. In addition,the other requirements of Section 241.2 of the
Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below;
however,those recommended conditions do reflect City Council's Short Term Rental revisions by reducing the number
of bookings in a seven day period to one and limiting the overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom.

Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
229 16th Street
May 12, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall:Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are applications that are recommended
for approval by staff, the Planning Commission concurred. And there are no
speakers signed up in opposition. We have four items on the consent agenda
today. The first item is agenda item number one by which is going to be presented
by city staff.
Mr. Kemp: Good afternoon Chairman, Commission. For the record, my name is Kevin Kemp;
I am the Zoning Administrator here in Virginia Beach. Item one is an ordinance
amendment which modifies the Zoning Ordinance in regards to the sign
regulations, particularly making them content neutral and in line with some current
court decisions that have been made. What this ordinance does is first changes
the regulations for billboards; our current ordinance regulates billboards based on
their content.And what I mean by content is a billboard is an offsite sign advertising
something not on that site. Well to know if you're advertising something on the site
or off the site, you have to read the billboard therefore making it content based. So
what this ordinance does is, it makes all outdoor advertising signs,takes billboards
out, and any sign is permitted on the site as a free standing sign, but that sign is
held to the dimensional standards of what is normally allowed in that Zoning District
for freestanding signs. So billboards are not their own use. The second thing that
this ordinance does is it removes the Zoning Administrators ability to modify non-
conforming signs where in the past if an applicant wished to take non-conforming
sign and alter it to make it better, there was an administrative process through my
office that that could be done. This now puts that process only by City Council
approval. The last thing in the ordinance is in regards to electronic signs and these
would only be permitted in two instances. The first are for major entertainment
venues. These are venues such as The Aquarium that require City Council
approval and therefore City Council would dictate the number of electronic signs
and the size and the second instance is for fuel prices.And these would be allowed
only on properties that dispense fuel and they would be limited to one sign. Are
there any questions?
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you Commission.
1
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda? Okay.
The next item on the consent agenda is item number - agenda item number four.
Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Beaman: Mr. Vice Chair, Members of the Commission for the record, my name is Rob
Beaman. I'm a local land use attorney at the Troutman Pepper Law Firm here today
on behalf of the applicant for agenda item number four, we've had a chance to
read the conditions, they are acceptable and we appreciate being on the consent
agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent
agenda? Hearing none, we've asked Ms. Klein to read this into the record.
Ms. Klein: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a mini warehouse in order
to construct a 25,000 square foot indoor self storage facility on this B4 mixed
district zoned parcel. A portion of the property contains a parking lot and
undeveloped area. The proposed building will be a climate controlled three story
mini warehouse building with the total height of 43 feet and it matches the
surrounding area. The applicant is seeking a deviation to the required 35 foot front
yard setback which staff approves. Based on the consideration staff recommends
approval of the application subject to the conditions and the Planning Commission
concurs.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number nine. Is there a
representative for this item? Okay, seeing none. Is there any opposition for this
item to be on the consent agenda? Hearing none. We've asked Mr. Redmond to
read this into the record.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me. Thank you, Mr. Wall. This is an application for a Conditional Use
Permit for a family daycare home at 1105 Voss Court. The applicant is requesting
the CUP for a daycare facility of up to 12 children within this single family dwelling.
It's a 7500 square foot parcel and seems to be very well organized and laid out for
this particular use. The applicant has 22 years of experience caring for children.
Staff sees no reason why it should be denied. Planning Commission sees no
reason why it should be denied and we therefore place it on consent. Thank you,
Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number 10. Is there a
representative for this item? Okay.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Wall there is, she had signed, Diana Buhrmann had signed up virtually, but
she is not online. So is Diana Buhrmann here?
2
Mr. Wall: Okay. Is there any opposition for this to be on the consent agenda? Okay, hearing
none, we've asked Mr. Graham to read this into the record.
Mr. Graham: Thank you, Mr. Wall. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a
family daycare home to care for up to 12 children within a single family dwelling.
The 5401 square foot parcel is zoned PD-H1 planned unit development and is
located in the Magic Hollow neighborhood at 998 Boughton Way in the Rose Hall
District. This request for a Conditional Use Permit in staffs opinion is consistent
with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the suburban
area. Staff finds the property to be well organized and well kept; successfully
promoting the policies intended to ensure the maintenance and sustainability of
great neighborhoods. For these reasons,staff recommends approval and Planning
Commission agrees with this recommendation.Therefore we have placed it on the
consent agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Graham. So that ends the regular consent agenda. 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. Staff and the Planning
Commission supports the applications and there are no speakers signed up in
opposition and that includes agenda items number 15, 17 and 20. Those were the
last items on the consent agenda. I move for approval of agenda items 1, 4, 9, 10,
15, 17, and 20. We have a motion. Do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, second by Ms. Klein.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: I'm sorry. Go ahead. That's right.
Mr. Redmond: Number one, I am abstaining on agenda item number 8, for the same reason as
before, there's work colleague of mine who is a member of the partnership that
owns this property and so that's just too close for comfort. I also am abstaining on
all of the short-term rental applications. I have a letter on file with the City Attorney's
Office, I have a client who's in the travel industry, and that too, is too close for
comfort. So I do not vote on short-term rental applications or ordinances. Thank
you.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else?
3
Ms. Wilson: You have a letter on file saying that you will abstain from all short-term rental
applications, has that changed?
Mr. Graham: Yes, ma'am that has been withdrawn.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. And you will now vote on those applications?
Mr. Graham: That is correct. I do not have a conflict.
Ms. Wilson: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Yes, sir. Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Aye.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: HEATHER SHIMP [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 304 28th Street, Unit 307
(GPIN 24280028663007). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
53,385 square foot multi-family property zoned OR Oceanfront Resort Form Based
Code. The lot consists of 42 condominium units, with the applicant's unit containing
two bedrooms (Unit 307). The minimum number of parking spaces required for the
Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or two spaces in this instance. The
maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11 :00 p.m. for a two-bedroom Short
Term Rental is six; however, at the time of this writing, the applicant accepts City
Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing the number of overnight
guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the number of bookings in a
seven day period from two to one. These changes are reflected in the conditions
below.
As of June 8, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address and unit number; however,
there are multiple active Short Term Rental listings for 304 28th Street without
accompanying unit numbers.
• Considerations:
The property is located within the resort area of the oceanfront; specifically, this
unit is within the Playa Rana Condominium development. The subject site lies
approximately 900 feet from the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean. The applicant's
parking plan depicts two permanently assigned on-site parking spaces, which meet
the requirements of Section 241 .2(1) the City Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, all
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to
the application are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

Heather Shimp [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
304 28th Street, Unit 307
May 12, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are applications that are
recommended for approval by staff, the Planning Commission concurred. And
there are no speakers signed up in opposition. We have four items on the consent
agenda today. The first item is agenda item number one by which is going to be
presented by city staff.
Mr. Kemp: Good afternoon Chairman, Commission. For the record, my name is Kevin Kemp;
I am the Zoning Administrator here in Virginia Beach. Item one is an ordinance
amendment which modifies the Zoning Ordinance in regards to the sign
regulations, particularly making them content neutral and in line with some current
court decisions that have been made. What this ordinance does is first changes
the regulations for billboards; our current ordinance regulates billboards based on
their content.And what I mean by content is a billboard is an offsite sign advertising
something not on that site. Well to know if you're advertising something on the site
or off the site, you have to read the billboard therefore making it content based. So
what this ordinance does is, it makes all outdoor advertising signs,takes billboards
out, and any sign is permitted on the site as a free standing sign, but that sign is
held to the dimensional standards of what is normally allowed in that Zoning District
for freestanding signs. So billboards are not their own use. The second thing that
this ordinance does is it removes the Zoning Administrators ability to modify non-
conforming signs where in the past if an applicant wished to take non-conforming
sign and alter it to make it better, there was an administrative process through my
office that that could be done. This now puts that process only by City Council
approval. The last thing in the ordinance is in regards to electronic signs and these
would only be permitted in two instances. The first are for major entertainment
venues. These are venues such as The Aquarium that require City Council
approval and therefore City Council would dictate the number of electronic signs
and the size and the second instance is for fuel prices.And these would be allowed
only on properties that dispense fuel and they would be limited to one sign. Are
there any questions?
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you Commission.
1
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda? Okay.
The next item on the consent agenda is item number - agenda item number four.
Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Beaman: Mr. Vice Chair, Members of the Commission for the record, my name is Rob
Beaman. I'm a local land use attorney at the Troutman Pepper Law Firm here today
on behalf of the applicant for agenda item number four, we've had a chance to
read the conditions, they are acceptable and we appreciate being on the consent
agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent
agenda? Hearing none, we've asked Ms. Klein to read this into the record.
Ms. Klein: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a mini warehouse in order
to construct a 25,000 square foot indoor self storage facility on this B4 mixed
district zoned parcel. A portion of the property contains a parking lot and
undeveloped area. The proposed building will be a climate controlled three story
mini warehouse building with the total height of 43 feet and it matches the
surrounding area. The applicant is seeking a deviation to the required 35 foot front
yard setback which staff approves. Based on the consideration staff recommends
approval of the application subject to the conditions and the Planning Commission
concurs.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number nine. Is there a
representative for this item? Okay, seeing none. Is there any opposition for this
item to be on the consent agenda? Hearing none. We've asked Mr. Redmond to
read this into the record.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me. Thank you, Mr. Wall. This is an application for a Conditional Use
Permit for a family daycare home at 1105 Voss Court. The applicant is requesting
the CUP for a daycare facility of up to 12 children within this single family dwelling.
It's a 7500 square foot parcel and seems to be very well organized and laid out for
this particular use. The applicant has 22 years of experience caring for children.
Staff sees no reason why it should be denied. Planning Commission sees no
reason why it should be denied and we therefore place it on consent. Thank you,
Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number 10. Is there a
representative for this item? Okay.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Wall there is, she had signed, Diana Buhrmann had signed up virtually, but
she is not online. So is Diana Buhrmann here?
Mr. Wall: Okay. Is there any opposition for this to be on the consent agenda? Okay, hearing
none, we've asked Mr. Graham to read this into the record.
2
Mr. Graham: Thank you, Mr. Wall. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a
family daycare home to care for up to 12 children within a single family dwelling.
The 5401 square foot parcel is zoned PD-H1 planned unit development and is
located in the Magic Hollow neighborhood at 998 Boughton Way in the Rose Hall
District. This request for a Conditional Use Permit in staffs opinion is consistent
with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the suburban
area. Staff finds the property to be well organized and well kept; successfully
promoting the policies intended to ensure the maintenance and sustainability of
great neighborhoods. For these reasons,staff recommends approval and Planning
Commission agrees with this recommendation.Therefore we have placed it on the
consent agenda.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Graham. So that ends the regular consent agenda. The Planning
Commission also places the following applications for a Conditional Use Permit for
Short-Term Rental on the consent agenda as they meet the applicable
requirements for section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff and the Planning
Commission supports the applications and there are no speakers signed up in
opposition and that includes agenda items number 15, 17 and 20. Those were the
last items on the consent agenda. I move for approval of agenda items 1, 4, 9, 10,
15, 17, and 20. We have a motion. Do we have a second?
Ms. Klein: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, second by Ms. Klein.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: I'm sorry. Go ahead. That's right.
Mr. Redmond: Number one, I am abstaining on agenda item number 8, for the same reason as
before, there's work colleague of mine who is a member of the partnership that
owns this property and so that's just too close for comfort. I also am abstaining on
all of the Short-Term Rental applications. I have a letter on file with the City
Attorney's Office, I have a client who's in the travel industry, and that too, is too
close for comfort. So I do not vote on Short-Term Rental applications or
ordinances. Thank you.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else?
Ms. Wilson: You have a letter on file saying that you will abstain from all Short-Term Rental
applications, has that changed?
3
Mr. Graham: Yes, ma'am that has been withdrawn.
Ms. Wilson: Okay. And you will now vote on those applications?
Mr. Graham: That is correct. I do not have a conflict.
Ms. Wilson: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Ready to vote?
Madam Clerk: Yes, sir. Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston?
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Graham?
Mr. Graham: Aye.

have been approved. Agenda items 15, 17 and 20 by recorded vote of seven in
favor, zero against with one abstention have been approved by consent.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: SUZANNE OLESZKO [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 312 Arctic Crescent (GPIN
2427152967). COUNCIL DISTRICT— BEACH
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
8,249 square-foot parcel zoned R-5S Residential District. The lot consists of one
single-family home containing two bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or two spaces in
this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
two-bedroom Short Term Rental is six; however, at the time of this writing, the
applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing
the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the
number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 14, 2021, Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a community
composed of a multitude of housing types with a few scattered commercial uses.
The subject property sits within a cul-de-sac comprised of single-family dwellings,
a catholic school, a church and its associated parish annex and office. In addition,
the site lies approximately 1,110 feet, or 0.21 miles, from the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean.
The applicant's parking plan shows both required off-street parking spaces within
an existing on-site driveway, which meets the requirement of Section 241.2(1) of
the City Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the property is within the boundary of the
Residential Parking Permit Program, where parking during the evening and
overnight hours is limited. Consequently, a condition is recommended that limits
the number of Residential Parking Permit Program parking passes to two and
prohibits the issuance of guest and temporary passes through the program while
the Conditional Use Permit is active. All other requirements of Section 241.2 of the
Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the
Suzanne Oleszko
Page 2 of 4
applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
Staff received two letters of support for the Short Term Rental. There were two
speakers in opposition who noted the potential violence associated with Short
Term Rental use, the transient nature of Short Term Rental use, spillover parking
onto the City street, and the perceived erosion of the neighborhood feel if a Short
Term Rental request were granted.
• Recommendation:
On May 12, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend denial
of this request by a vote of 7 to 0. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1 . The following shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 312 Arctic
Crescent, and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the principal
structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
3. While this Conditional Use Permit is active, parking passes issued for the
subject dwelling unit(s) through the Residential Parking Permit Program
(RPPP) shall be limited to two resident passes only. Guest and temporary
passes through the RPPP shall not be permitted.
4. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of
approval. The renewal process of this Conditional Use Permit may be
administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the
Planning Department shall notify the City Council in writing prior to the renewal
of any Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental where the Short Term
Rental has been the subject of neighborhood complaints, violations of its
conditions or violations of any building, housing, zoning, fire or other similar
codes.
5. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more
than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of
bedrooms times two (2)) on the property where the Short Term Rental is
located. This Short Term Rental may not request or obtain a Special Event
Permit under City Code Section 4-1 (8a).
6. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a
responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner
or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty(30) minutes. Physical response
to the site of the Short Term Rental is not required.

28.

12.No signage shall be on-site, except one (1), four (4) square foot sign, may be

15.There shall be no outdoor amplified sound after 10:00 p.m. or before 10:00 a.m.
16.The maximum number of persons on the property after 11:00 p.m. and before

This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision,which is a neighborhood composed of a multitude of housing
types with a few scattered commercial uses.The subject property sits within a neighborhood block comprised of single-
family dwellings and the Star of the Sea Church. The home contains two bedrooms;thus,two off-street parking spaces
are required& provided on site. Since the property is within the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit Program

temporary passes will not be permitted while the Conditional Use Permit is active.

Suzanne Oleszko [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
312 Arctic Crescent
May 12, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL - HEARD
Mr. Weiner: All right, on to item 21.
Madam Clerk: Yes, sir. Our last agenda item for today. Suzanne Oleszko. An application for
Conditional Use Permit short term rental on property located at 312 Arctic Crescent
in the Beach District.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, ma'am. Please state your name for the record.
Ms. Oleszko: Hi, I'm Susanna Oleszko, at 312 Arctic Crescent. I've been a Virginia Beach
resident all my life. I was born on Arctic Avenue. I attended Star of the Sea
elementary school for seven years, First Colonial and now currently I'm a ODU
professor. My passion is Virginia Beach and I don't know if any of my pictures got
in here. But growing up one of my favorite activities was going to the Virginia Beach
Dome on 19th Street. I always loved that building. I always loved the concerts. I
always loved the acoustics. This home became available; my father passed away
and left me a little money. And I decided to buy this home because I love it,
because it's a piece of architecture that's not common in our area, especially
common on Arctic Crescent. It has quite a bit of land on the right and on the left. I
have a school across the street that I attended. I have Father Steve next door who
has come and bless the home. I have a family to the other side. That is a multi use
building. When I purchased it, I didn't really, what I was looking at it I really didn't
understand what the CUP was. I had been an investor of real estate in Virginia
Beach homes for since the 90s, probably flipped maybe 100 homes before it ever
was a TV show. My husband is very handy. And we love doing that. I love
decorating, he loves doing things. So this home is very unique. When I looked at
it, I asked the realtors and I asked other people if there was a Civic League, if there
were any restrictions in this community and the answer was no. To the left of me
is a residential property which is the church. I talked to Father Steve he thought it
was a great idea to have something like this; I would work in conjunction with the
church for their youth retreats, for bridal parties, things like that. To the other side
of me was a family that also thought it was okay idea. The home is very — very
unique. It's a great addition to the Vibe section; it's a piece of art. As I see it. You
know, it has a lot of history for our community. I live just a few minutes down the
street. I will be extremely involved. I already have another Short Term Rental at
the Oceans II condos that has great reviews. I've never had trouble over there with
1
anything I've done. I've paid the taxes. I've been legal the whole time. I want to
make this legal. I want to go take it to a very classy step of having Atkinson Real
Estate, manage it as a beach rental. So it wouldn't be the typical Airbnb party
center. It is a small home with a big heart. It's a Zen home. It was designed and
built for peace and tranquility. It was built by Mr. Revlon who came from New York
City after he took Revlon public and he was a part of the Edgar Cayce community.
I don't know what else to say about it but it is a perfect place for guests to come to
be impressed with our city. It is, as you know, walking to the beach to the
boardwalk. It's only eight residences away from the bed and breakfast where they
rent by the room by the night for what I would rent the whole entire home for it. I
will be there a lot. I have been there a lot. The neighbors know that I'm there a lot.
There will be no parties there. There will be no smoking of cigarettes or anything
else there. I will install a Kevo Lock System so if there is a party and there are
people I can lock them out. I will not have nonsense there. The home is beautifully
decorated with a bike theme. I would invite anybody to come, I've invited some
people on the board to come. I would like to name it Pedaling Around because it's
a round house and I have a bike clean. It's gorgeous. It's fun. I have a lot of privacy.
I have the church on the right, the school on the left. It is not a typical home in the
neighborhood. It doesn't look like any of the homes; it has twice the property of any
home in the neighborhood. Every day, we have the bus line for the children lined
up in the circle so it is not very private. We have a circle at the end of the cul-de-
sac that is a parking lot for beach goers during the day every day of the year,
including surfers in the offseason. As you can see, there's a lot of open land there.
I don't know what else to say. But in my mind, at night, it's not a quiet street, I hear
the whipping around of the Ferris wheel and the big swing and I see the lights and
the neighbors that are here they can walk to the end of their driveway and see it
as well. So it is not quiet. There are a lot of people coming up and down the street
off the beach walking down the sidewalk. I happen to love it. I love the sound of
children. I'm a professor of early childhood education. I love the sound of the
playground every day. I love the car line pickup. I've become friends with the
people who come to pick up their children. Many of them have toured the home
since I've had the orange sign in front. They've come in from the bus line, they
wanted to see the house, and they've always wanted to see it. It's extremely
unusual. And I think it would be a great addition to our ViBe section, which is two
blocks down the street. I have walked there many a times and I've patronized many
of the restaurants since then I've been on the tour of the ViBe twice since I've had
this home there because I just think it's wonderful. And I really appreciate you
considering it in where it is located. Any other questions?
Mr. Weiner: Yes, Mr. Alcaraz?
Mr. Alcaraz: Mrs. Oleszko, we've talked. You said something I have been receiving opposition
just want you to know that. I don't know if it was, if it was noted during the informal
was, was there any?
2
Mr. Weiner: No opposition.
Mr. Alcaraz: I did receive calls. One thing you just said, are you offering to restrict it just for the
church use? You said that.
Ms. Oleszko: No, no, I want to include that. I want to include that. Yeah, I would include and I
would welcome people from the church. I happened to be Catholic, and I happen
to grow up in that church. And I would include it and be a part of the church
community because basically, my property line is right next to the church property.
Mr. Alcaraz: I understand.
Mr. Oleszko: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: Where I'm going with this, I'm not really in support of it, but when you told me
something about maybe working with the church,that's where I was kind of leaning
toward you. But if it's not just...
Ms. Oleszko: Not completely 100%. But I definitely would offer as much as I could to the church
because I believe in that.
Mr. Alcaraz: And I understand that this is what I'm hearing from the neighbors, let me finish.
What I'm hearing from the neighbors with the street coming into a cul-de-sac and
a turnaround going by with whatever maximum you can have, I think is 4, at once
a week, the neighbors. They're swaying me to their side, so...
Ms. Oleszko: Well, I only have two neighbors, two immediate neighbors.
Mr. Alcaraz: I'm talking about the neighbors on the street though.
Ms. Oleszko: Okay, there are eight homes on the street.
Mr. Alcaraz: Correct.
Ms. Oleszko: One of them is a bed and breakfast that has five rooms that they rent out. And the
other homes that are on that particular street, none of them look like my home.
And none of them have the land that I have; they have taken a lot the size of mine
and put three homes on it. And the homes that come before my home on the cul-
de-sac, if you look straight down 15th Street, there's a big section eight apartment
building that's actually vacant now, that they have, that they look at and there's
also if you look straight down, you can see the amusement park and all kinds of
stuff down 15th Street. So my little section that none of the neighbors pass by
3
unless they're coming down the circle is much more private than where they
already live.
Mr. Alcaraz: I understand that. I was bringing it up for the additional traffic that would be coming
in past their house to get to your Short Term Rental that's a concern that they had.
Ms. Oleszko: There's already about 50 cars that come twice a day to do the pickup line for Star
of the Sea School. And then there's probably at least another 20 that come by day
to park there to go to the beach any given day. So it's not like someone with four
people would bring any more traffic than I mean it is, I've sent pictures in of the
pickup line from Star of the Sea that's there twice a day. You couldn't get another
car down the street.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you.
Ms. Oleszko: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions?
Mr. Coston: One quick question.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: You said there was a multi use building next door, what is that?
Ms. Oleszko: Yeah, it's a home and they have some. It's a, I guess this may be approved for
duplexes, a duplex next door.And originally, that home was the first home and the
person who developed this particular dome subdivided the lot. So there's a family
in there that has a rental, maybe two, and they have totally been in support of me
having that they're the only, that's the only house that faces my property. And
they're totally in favor of what I'm doing. And I have a letter of support from them.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Did you say how long you've owned the property?
Ms. Oleszko: I actually have only owned the property for about three or four months. And I
bought this as an investment property to be honest with you, but I also own quite
a few other investment properties that are section eight properties in Virginia
Beach. And I've owned quite a few different properties.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any more questions? Okay, thank you, ma'am.
4
Madam Clerk: We have three speakers.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Madam Clerk: Paige Mijares, followed by Heiko Pinkola. And then Albert Gander, so Paige
Mijares.
Mr. Mijares: Good afternoon Planning Commission. Thanks for letting us speak on this issue. I
want to just be brief, because I know that you guys have to hear these all day long
and I just thank you for your time. I'm here to represent that Atkinson Realty would
be professionally managing the property. And to show you in person here that that
is our intent. You're probably familiar; you've probably heard me say it before, of
all of the different services that we provide as guardrails and protection for our
Short Term Rentals. We have a staff— full time staff of four that are on call 24/7
during the summer, they're responding to calls whenever it needed, but usually
those calls are for that the you know, the wireless isn't working, the remote for the
TV, they can't figure out. Those are the kind of calls we get, not issues that you've
heard from other applicants. We have an on-site maintenance person to help with
any issues of that sort. And we also do extra trash pickup. So we have a Saturday
trash pickup,a private company that is paid for not on the dime of the City to ensure
that the homes that we operate, are pristine. There are 3 reasons really, that this
property really fits and should be approved. And that we are here today asking for
your approval. One is that it is exactly where the location is and it really is in that
resort vibe like Ms. Oleszko said, you hear the ferris wheel and the activity from
Pacific Avenue. Pacific Avenue is literally,you can literally see Pacific Avenue from
the property and all of the activity going on there in the tourist area. The other thing
is that it's just a unique home,which Ms. Oleszko alluded to as well. It's very difficult
to see a family living in this home with no walls really full time. So that that would
be another reason that this really fits into that kind of unique —unique experience.
The home is only approved for four adults, but honestly most likely it would be two
adults and, you know, two children there for the week. And then the third reason
is really you witnessed it here. Um, Ms. Oleszko is just an outstanding citizen of
Virginia Beach. She cares about our city, and she wants to contribute to it in a
manner that's positive and helpful to the resort district. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Heiko Pinkola and then Albert Gander.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome sir; please state your name for the record.
Mr. Pinkola: Hello, my name is Heiko Pinkola, I live at 328 Arctic Crescent. It's two houses down
from the property here, I live there since 2012. The neighborhood is all owned and
5
people who want to live in the neighborhood, the multi-purpose locations like also
long term rental, we know those neighbors as well. Direct neighbors left and right
and all they have affiliation with the church and I think that should not play into this
here. But I think those ropes are pulled here. I'm very concerned about like the
most recent development of violence coming from single groups, and living in
scattered areas of the district here, in Short Term Rentals. And I'm just like, my
wife is afraid, she was talking about like moving and selling, because they're just
like, that contributes to that. I know the police is understaffed and I'm all for the
police and they should patrolling more Pacific and Atlantic where those tourists
and visitors belong.And they don't belong in neighborhoods like this and therefore,
I'm against it, and I cannot support this. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you, sir.
Madam Clerk: Our final speaker, Albert Gander.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, please say your name for the record.
Mr. Gander: Sir, Albert Gander. I'm also a resident of Arctic Avenue, I live at 1500. Although I
can appreciate some of the things that were said earlier about the management of
the property, we moved there because we belong to Star of the Sea church, my
children do go to school there. We chose this neighborhood specifically, because
it's the last of a neighborhood feel before you're actually in a resort district. I believe
when you look at an overlay map for what the resort area is, it goes down 15th
Street, it stays to the north of 15th and then to the east, it goes down to 16th Street.
The bed and breakfast that was mentioned before, it's a site that there was uses
for that type of property actually has a 16th Street address, which is inside of the
area allowed for that type of use. I understand that she is also an investor of other
properties and I feel like if you're investing to make money, that you should do it
within the constraints that already exist, not just because you have the money to
come in and infiltrate my neighborhood and erode the neighborhood feel that
already exists there. As to the cars that are on that street there for the pickup that
happened twice a day, Dr. Avril, who is the principal of that, has spoke to all of us
and told us about the cars being there. That was for COVID and COVID only,
before that, the pickup happened in the front. They had to do that to help separate
the age groups for the kids. So, there is some pickup in the front. That is not
historically the way it's been. It has been that way now. I know that Father Steve
blessed the house, I think that that's fine. I don't think that he has any ill will toward
anyone else. Like what was said before in earlier arguments against Short Term
Rentals, I believe that it does bring in elements that don't belong in the
neighborhood. It also doesn't belong in my neighborhood. There is the church
there. As to the section eight house that I have to look at that's across the street,
that is also owned by an ODU professor. He does not keep it in good working order
or repair. Matter of fact, he hasn't had anybody in there renting it since I've lived
6
there. It would be good to go away from the neighborhood. I understand that this
property has the intention to be managed correctly and appropriately, but it is not
with a neighbor in it. I know every neighbor on the street by name. I knew Lawrence
that lived in that house before it was sold, because he passed away and died. I
know Mike and Danya that are next to him that have the multi use structure. I know
Heiko and Nadia that are next door. I can go on and on and on down the street all
the way to the owner operators of the Airbnb. I know them because I'm somebody
that's involved in my neighborhood. I can tell you the name of the police officers
that walk the beat on my neighborhood. I can even tell you the names of some of
the people that are homeless that my church feeds. I know that because I'm there
not because I'm not there.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments sir. Any questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: One question. You said where do you live?
Mr. Gander: 1500 Arctic Avenue. So if you look at that map there, you go straight down the
street. That begins Arctic Crescent down there. The 15th terminates the next
house over that you can see the one white car in the driveway, that's mine.
Mr. Alcaraz: The first one.
Mr. Gander: Yeah, so when the pickup line, it begins down there, and I walk my kids directly
across the street straight to that building where they go to school.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, great. Thanks.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Do you want to come back up, you can make rebuttal.
Ms. Oleszko: I just want to one more comment. I am very passionate about being there. I've
been there probably more than a lot of people who have been home at work. I've
been there a lot in the past few months. Again, my property as you can see is a
much larger property with trees on all the sides. It doesn't interfere with anyone
else. The trees you can't even see to have, that have leaves on them now. And I
do care about it. And I will be a good neighbor. I have a passion for it. I have a
passion for the architecture. I have a passion for our city. I have a passion for the
Vibe district. I have a passion for the restaurants, for the hotels, for everything
that's going on good there. I live minutes away. I will be there are a lot. I plan if I
get your approval; I plan on doing a lot of wonderful things with this home. And I
really feel like it will be a destination for the City of Virginia Beach for the
Buckminster Fuller lovers, the dome lovers, the architect lovers, the ViBe district,
we're looking at a piece of art that is not like any other home in that neighborhood.
I'm asking for four people to come for peace and tranquility with a beautiful Lake
Holly behind it, the nice Ocean Front close by, the beautiful church beside it, the
7
bells of the church and the birds singing and all the good things that there are on
the street, and the wonderful neighbors who are up and down the street, who are
outside. It's an amazing place. And I think it's a great place for us to share with
visitors that come to our city to see our resort to enjoy the area and I promise,
promise that it will not be a shoot up killing place. It will be a place for peace and
tranquility. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any other questions? No questions. All right, I'm gonna close this and
open up, Mr. Alcaraz. Beach District
Mr. Alcaraz: Anybody else? Oh I mean I appreciate her love for what she wants to do. I'm just
torn because again, and I appreciate I know, she's gonna, you know, get in there
and make sure that whoever rents that once a week of the four people that she'll
do her best to make sure but that's the concern I have with the neighbors. When
something happens, it's happened. And then the neighbors have to deal with it.
And then again, it happens.And I understand that you'll get the good visitors there,
but then we're just I'm just not in support a lot of these STRs and management is
the most important thing, but what concerns me when it happens, then I feel like
we've let the neighbors down, so I'm not supporting it, but I'd like to hear your
concerns.
Ms. Oliver: George on this one, I did get several calls and the concern was and I'm sure she
would be a great Short Term Rental owner. The concern here is that these CUP's
run with the land. She mentioned on several times that she likes to flip houses. So
that concerns me is, you know, when this house gets sold, now we've got an STR
in the middle of an established neighborhood and the proximity yeah, it's one block
away from Pacific Avenue, but it is an established neighborhood like that
gentleman said and the other gentleman said, and I'm just not willing to impart that
on the neighborhood. Just, you know, there's a school and children and it's a dead
end. And I just unfortunately, and the word destination was used and that made
me uncomfortable. I don't think that people want a destination in their
neighborhood at this point.
Mr. Weiner: Who else? Mr. Coston? No?
Mr. Coston: I'd like to support her. I think she'd be great at it. I'm a believer in giving people a
fair chance and you can. And I try not to judge people by what other people have
done in the way other people have run stuff. So kind of twisted in between right
now is what I am.
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else? Jack?
Mr. Wall: Yeah, I think she'd do a great job. And I think that, you know, her management,
you know, Atkinson Realty does a great job. But the opposition is fairly strong, you
8
know, and I appreciate their input, and I appreciate their ability and your interest in
protecting their neighborhoods, so...
Mr. Weiner: I'm torn. In fact, I told Dee yesterday, I was gonna go by there, and I did go by
there yesterday and I thought it was in RT district. I mean, I you can't get any closer
to the RT district in this house, literally right next door. But I'm all about being
consistent with what we've done in the past and we've done in the years in the
past, and when we've had opposition, we've all been consistent about staying with
that. So I'm going to not support either. Anyone want to make a motion?
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, I'll make a motion again, this is a recommendation that we're making, of
course, and City Council has the final say. So, I make a recommendation that we
disapprove agenda number 21.
Mr. Weiner: Second?We need to second.
Mr. Wall: I'll second it.
Mr. Weiner: All right. We have a recommendation for denial by Mr. Alcaraz and second by Mr.
Wall.

\ AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CATHERINE PATTERSON DENTON [Applicant] THE PINK CABANA, LLC
[Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the
property located at 1316 Cypress Avenue (GPIN 24179554830000).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
5,625 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D Residential District. The lot consists of one
single-family home containing three bedrooms. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for the Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or three spaces in
this instance. The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a
three-bedroom Short Term Rental is nine; however, at the time of this writing, the
applicant accepts City Council's Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing
the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the
number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are
reflected in the conditions below.
As of June 14, 2021 , Host Compliance shows no current/active Short Term Rental
advertisements associated with the subject address.
• Considerations:
This property is located within the Lakewood subdivision, which is a neighborhood
composed of multiple dwelling types with a few commercial uses. The subject
property lies approximately 2,900 feet or 0.54 miles from the public beach of the
Atlantic Ocean and 1 ,900 feet, or 0.35 miles from the Virginia Beach Convention
Center. The property is in close proximity to other Short Term Rentals that have
been approved and disapproved through the Conditional Use Permit process.
The applicant submitted three parking plan scenarios; as permitted by Section
241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, only two were approved by the Zoning
Administrator for use. The approved configurations account for all three required
off-street parking areas on-site, with one arrangement showing all spaces within
the existing driveway and the other showing a combination of driveway and
residential garage spaces.
Since the property is within the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit
Program (RPPP), parking passes issued for the subject dwelling unit will be limited
Catherine Patterson Denton
Page 2 of 4
to two resident passes. Guest and temporary passes will not be permitted while
the Conditional Use Permit is active. All requirements of Section 241.2 of the
Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the
applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There was one speaker at the public hearing who was opposed to the request. The
opposition focused on possible issues relating to the request, such as a lack of on-
site supervision, the transient nature of the use, increased parking congestion,
increased noise, overcrowding of the home, a potential for violence, and a general
lack of respect for the neighborhood and the neighbors.
• Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 6 to 0.
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 1316
Cypress Avenue and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the principal
structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
3. When parking option "Plan B," as illustrated in the Site Layout & Parking Plan
section of this Staff report, is utilized for Short-Term Rental purposes, the
garage space within the unit must remain a minimum of 9-feet by 18-feet,
contain a minimum 8-foot wide vehicle entryway opening, and shall remain free
of materials to ensure vehicular accessibility to the Short Term Rental tenants.
4. While this Conditional Use Permit is active, parking passes issued for the
subject dwelling unit(s) through the Residential Parking Permit Program
(RPPP) shall be limited to two resident passes only. Guest and temporary
passes through the RPPP shall not be permitted.
5. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of
approval. The renewal process of this Conditional Use Permit may be
administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the
Planning Department shall notify the City Council in writing prior to the renewal
of any Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental where the Short Term
Rental has been the subject of neighborhood complaints, violations of its
conditions or violations of any building, housing, zoning, fire or other similar
codes.
6. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more
than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of
bedrooms times two (2)) on the property where the Short Term Rental is

Permit under City Code Section 4-1 (8a).
7. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a
responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner
or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty(30) minutes. Physical response
to the site of the Short Term Rental is not required.
8. If, or when, the ownership of the property changes, it is the seller's

Term Rental Zoning registration form; and

Catherine Patterson Denton [Applicant] The Pink Cabana, LLC [Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental)
1316 Cypress Avenue
June 9, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Ms. Sandloop: Our next item is agenda item number 29 Catherine Patterson Denton, an
application for a conditional use permit short-term rental on property located at
1316 Cypress Avenue in the Beach District.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Mr. Bourdon: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. Again, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney
representing Catherine Denton, Katie Denton, and Katie and her husband are
here. Katie, just a little bit of background, she lives at the north end and she has
short term, some short term rentals that she owns and manages on the Outer
Banks. And she came across this beautiful little bungalow cottage at the corner of
14th in Cypress that she just purchased, Will had earlier gotten confused on when
he's looking at his records. Ms. Denton just bought this property and she and the
previous owner who's sold it to her didn't want to see this property demoed, you
know, in a new two unit duplex condo get built on it. And it, it's just, I think the
perfect type of a dwelling, if it's given the, you know, the TLC that it needs, and
she's gonna, you know, make some improvements to it, but not change it, not
change the — the character of it, perfect place to do just this type of use of the
property and,and it's a way to make that, you know,viable versus a tear down and
rebuild. They meets all the criteria, all the conditions are acceptable. Katie went
and talked to the people to the south and to the west, all the owners, but all of
those are rentals and the owner has no objection whatsoever if they're not short
term rentals, they are rental property so and there are quite a number of those in
this area. But the reality is, this is a situation where the short-term rental actually
can extend the life of this property that again is perfect parking, you know, works
perfectly. And Katie is very meticulous in screening the renters for her places and
she's here and she'd be happy to answer any questions any of you may have but
she will be hands on as far as management. She has had a website for some time.
And if you go to it, it's quite impressive. She does this very professionally, very
high quality and she has five star reviews across the board for the people who
come and stay in her other short term rentals which are on the Outer Banks and
she wants to do the same thing with this piece of property because it's a perfect
1
property to do it on given it's the quality of the house that's on it and how you, you
know, look around there are some still left but there aren't a lot of these old beach
bungalows left. Be happy to answer any questions, and Katie is here and will be
happy to answer any questions if you have any for her about how she operates
her short term rentals.
Mr. Weiner: Questions. Let's listen to speakers. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: We have one speaker Ben Harrison.
Mr. Harrison: Hello, I'm Ben Harrison. I live directly across the street or next to the house
requesting permission for this mini hotel which will have no on-site supervision or
management if you allow it. I'm glad they've spoken with some of the renters but
my neighbors and I who own single family homes, view this as an invitation, and
excuse me, an uninvited incursion by unknown vacationing type people and other
itinerants into our peaceful neighborhood. If you allow this to occur, their cars will
be cramped into our little street, possibly blocking driveways. Their music and
parties may not be quite loud enough, quite late enough to force us to call the cops
but will remain on edge and always a few seconds away from dialing 911 wasting
our resources because of the actions you might take today. Late night parties,
pumping bass music, screaming fights in the yard, toddlers meandering aimlessly,
animals running off leashes, people knocking on our doors because they're lost,
parents by the police are all foreseeable yet avoidable by you. Short term renters
do not have respect for the neighborhood that we hold dear. I have personally
witnessed this type of renter from my home. Not in this house obviously but there
are close by short term rentals that have destroyed the fabric of this community
and violated noise ordinances and also have portable fire pits in the driveway
searching for things to burn, leaving permanent marks from the fire, also spray
painting items on the driveway or excuse me on the sidewalk and owners have no
clue.To approve this request is a gross lack of consideration of residents will affect
traffic flow, environmental concerns and the like. If you allow this to proceed,
please note that the great website and 311 do not provide on-site management,
like is required at hotels in the resort area. On-site management monitors and
enforces occupancy restrictions, parking limits and noise monitoring and control.
Why should our local police be burdened with these management duties?
Additionally, if police must be called,the permit should be rescinded until the owner
formally submits a viable actionable issue remediation strategy to us, the
neighbors. Living next to a short-term rental like this is difficult due to having new
people in and out all the time, partying right next to our bedroom window. Makes
for unnecessary stressful situations with homes so close together as they are here
2
at the beach. Hotels do not belong in neighborhoods, especially non-supervised
hotels. And what further explanation is needed after the nonsense that went on at
5508 Holly awhile back, parking, parties, gunshots, injuries, lots of people staying
in one residence with no place for them to park. You don't want it in your
neighborhood. We do not want it in ours. This is not a resort area. It's a residential
neighborhood adjacent to a resort area. And none of us signed up for this. Please
think of the many unintended consequences that may not have been can fully
considered, and please deny this request. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah I do, you had mentioned, can you point on that map or just not point,just tell
me I can kind of get the bearing where's your residence?
Mr. Harrison: The word 14th, the number 14, that's my driveway right there.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. So you're across the street?
Mr. Harrison: Yeah. That's my bedroom, right where the dot is.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, because you said that they were, you made a statement that the noise
would be next to your bedroom window.
Mr. Harrison: Could you put that dot back where you had a second ago, right. There's my
bedroom window. So I look directly down on it. I have a three story and this is a
single story.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Mr. Harrison: Actually has a little loft on it.
3
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, thank you.
Mr. Harrison: Yep.
Mr. Weiner: I have a question.
Mr. Harrison: Yes, sir.
Mr. Weiner: If you had any issues across the street, across Cyprus, have you ever had any
issues with it over there?
Mr. Harrison: I've had issues. I don't know who has the pointer. But if someone point at the house
again where they just did, now move to the right, to the right across the street and
the next house right behind that that's the short-term rental.And that's where we've
had issues from that house which is three houses away. Also a conditional use
permit was just granted to another house right there on Cypress which is not on
the map because the property that's under construction there on the map is now
short-term rental.
Mr. Weiner: Have you down call 311?
Mr. Harrison: No sir, hasn't been rented yet.
Mr. Weiner: I'm sorry.
Mr. Harrison: It's brand new and has not been rented yet.
Mr. Weiner: No, I mean any of those?
4
Mr. Harrison: No.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. All right. Thank you.
Mr. Harrison: Thanks.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Bourdon.
Mr. Inman: Mr. Chairman, I had more for that gentleman.
Mr. Weiner: Oh I am sorry, do you have a question.
Mr. Inman: I had a question.
Mr. Weiner: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't see him. Sorry. Sorry.
Mr. Inman: Can you—you may be repeating something I don't know, what specific problems
did you have with the other short term rentals close by?
Mr. Harrison: I walked my dog and we, our family walks and just the marks on the street from
people burning, literally they bring their portable fires.And so,you know,they think
they're coming to the beach, they bring a little fire pit, and they'll burn it in the
driveway, whether it's on the website that you can't have it or not, they don't care.
And the owners don't know, because they'll do this out on the sidewalk. I've seen
people painting, like their bicycle,or some of their painting stuff.And the marks are
there forever and also noise and parking.
Mr. Inman: What was specifically about parking, what was that?
5
Mr. Harrison: Parking on the street, just it, you know, prohibits movement on the street, the
Cypress is fine, but 14th Street is very tight.
Mr. Inman: So where are these? You probably don't know whether the vehicles parking were
people who were renting the house or whether they were guests, do you?
Mr. Harrison: You don't know. You don't know if they're just visiting the house or not. But I mean,
you see him going into the houses, so into the rentals. And you see the tags from
out of state, of course.
Mr. Inman: How long have those short term rentals been in?
Mr. Harrison: That one has been there since I've lived here, which is only a year and a half, sir.
Mr. Inman: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any more questions. Thank you.
Mr. Harrison: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the gentleman's passion, but to set the record straight,
this little beach bungalow is not a mini hotel. And my client, Katie Denton spoke to
the owners,owners of the two properties with the four unit set surround her not the
tenant occupants of those units and I'm pretty certain that's what I stated in my
presentation. Katie would be more than happy to speak to Mr. Harrison and show
him what she does and make herself available if there are ever any problems with
this, but this is not a mini hotel, this will not be a party venue and I think anybody
looking at that house, looking at it online isn't going to say, Oh,well,there's a good
place to have a, you know, a big party. Its far, far, far from it in my opinion. And,
you know, she's an excellent manager of these, has great experience in doing so,
she's not absentee. So it won't be an issue. Mr. Harrison is residing in, you know,
6
a tear down redevelop, you know, increased density scenario across the street,
which is great,great for the city. I'm all for it. But if we're going to be able to maintain
a little bit of the old character of Virginia Beach, this is one of those opportunities
to see if that opportunity can work. And as you all know, these are for five years.
And I'm certain if there are violations, it won't be renewed and it could be
terminated. The City Council has the ability to pull these use permits. So I think
this is a classic example of where, you know, the generalization, you know, just
they're all bad. We all know that that's not the case. We know, absolutely 100%
that is not the case and citing the circumstances that may exist on a couple of
instances, those same circumstances can happen and do happen on properties
that are not short-term rental and we all know that. So I don't think this is a gamble
or roll the dice at all on this piece of property. I think everyone will be very pleased
with the outcome.And you've got someone who is deeply rooted in this community
who's gonna do this property justice that's the reason why we're, we're up here. I
haven't been up here on short term rentals other than just a, you know, handful
over the course of the existence of short term rentals, and most of those were
redeveloping properties. But I think this is a fantastic circumstance where it's worth
giving Ms. Denton an opportunity to demonstrate how to do this right and again to
preserve this beautiful little cottage. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Mr. Weiner: Questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Bourdon you mentioned, there would be improvements, are those exterior
improvements?
Mr. Bourdon: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: Exactly. That's not going to tear it down or build anything new just, you know,
renovate and upgrade the exterior appearance.
Mr. Alcaraz: Is the intent to keep the screen of the shrubs that are there?
7
Mr. Bourdon: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: Specifically on 14th Street?
Mr. Bourdon: Yes, if they need to be trimmed, but to keep them there.
Mr. Alcaraz: Manicured, but still kept.
Mr. Bourdon: Yes, absolutely that's the charm of the piece of property.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, thanks.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any more questions? Thank you. Any more speakers? We'll close it and open it
up for discussion. Who wants to go first? Mr. Alcaraz? Someone else go first this
time.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, let me hear some comments. I'm on the fence. I know where I'm leaning to,
but just want to hear what you guys have to say.
Mr. Coston: Well, I kind of never like to penalize someone at the beginning, before they've even
started based on what we might believe might be a problem. So I'm gonna support
it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Mr. Inman?
8
Mr. Inman: Yeah, I'm torn on this and I was even torn on that one before words back in the
neighborhood. So it's a balancing act between, you know, the tranquility of a
neighborhood, you know, and this is an ordinance that allows for short-term rental.
Is this a good candidate for it? Probably so, for reasons that Mr. Bourdon noted in
terms of it's kind of a unique piece of property, it's on a corner. Pretty well exposed,
if there's problems, so on balance; I'd probably have to support it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, anybody else? Jack Wall?
Mr. Wall: Just, you know, I like to be consistent, I mean how we, how we look at this, and I
think that's important, you know, across, you know, whatever we do, you know,
we've been denied two, looks like we've denied two, one on 14th, one on 13th,
approximately same almost same distance from each other to this property. But
we've also approved, or there's been approval of short term rentals in the adjacent
corner. And fortunately, those are, that's the area that Mr. Harrison was
complaining, you know, had, you know, identifiable any of the specific complaints
about one on one corner, one on the other corner, actually three on the 14th and
Cypress Avenue corner, and then this one on the other corner. I don't know it's a
tossup for me with there's that are nearby, and then there's that they've been
approved. And there's that are nearby that have been denied. So I'm still, I'm on
the fence still.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: I support it because this is kind of the old beach cuisine or whatever you want to
call it. I mean, it looks like the old beach. And I think that's what some of the folks
are looking for.And it's not somebody that's purchased piece of property and going
and tear it down and try to increase the size, obviously get more bedrooms and
have more people, I think somebody is just trying to provide a beach experience
to people who may desire that type of experience. So as many of you know, I'm
not a big fan of short-term rental but I mean, it meets all that criteria, so I would,
I'm going to support the application.
Mr. Weiner: What was the use of the property? What is it now? Did anybody say that I mean
how's it been used? Is it a rental? No, it's not a rental now because it hasn't on our
thing here. Currently advertised, it's not advertised, it's never been known for
rental, and it's still not registered.
9
Mr. Inman: Okay, now I'm not talking about a short-term rental, talking about rental.
Mr. Weiner: 30 day, like a year rental.
Mr. Inman: A six-month rental, a year rental.
Mr. Horsley: They just bought the piece of property.
Mr. Inman: What's been the prior use?
Mr. Bourdon: As I stated Mr. Inman, Ms. Denton has just bought the property within the last 60
days, it was a rental, it was not a short-term rental, but it has been a rental.
Mr. Inman: Okay, for how long?
Mr. Bourdon: Number of years, I don't know?
Mr. Inman: Do they know?
Mr. Bourdon: No, the previous owner had owned the property for a fair amount of time; I want to
say close to 10 years. And it was a rental when Ms. Denton bought it.
Mr. Inman: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Wall.
10
Mr. Wall: The parking, make this one stand out a little bit more than others is that it does
have, there it shows two spaces that are appropriate for this, I believe is two
bedrooms, number of bedrooms three. So they need, they need three, three
parking spaces, but it looks like there's opportunities even within them in the
garage for additional space, and maybe a new possibility even greater, greater
amount of parking right there and in the driveway. So it does have that benefit that
they would have additional space for parking above and beyond what's required.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr.Alcaraz: All right. Well, thank you. And I know most of y'all know how I feel about short term
rentals. And the biggest concern I always have is, and this is there for those that
are also applying is management. I weigh a lot on management. I don't know how
we can tell if we're going to get management at a level that's going to keep it in
harmony with the neighbors. But from what I just heard, she's experienced, I like
the layout. I like the parking and I like the screening. It's been offered that some
improvements are going to be done on the property.And I'm pretty much confident
that this one might be less intrusive than what we've seen and heard of. So I'm
going to make a recommendation for approval.
Mr. Weiner: All right, we have recommendation for approval. Do we have a second?
Mr. Horsley: Second.
Mr. Weiner: Recommendation by Mr. Alcaraz for approval, Mr. Horsley second.
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Alcaraz.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: ANDREW LIN [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Short
Term Rental) for the property located at 4441 Ocean View Avenue, Unit B
(GPIN 15707194030000). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021 (WITHDRAWN before the July 6, 2021 Hearing)
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental on a
6,250 square-foot parcel zoned R-5D(SD) Residential District (Shore Drive
Overlay). The lot consists of one duplex building; however, this request is only for
Unit B. The minimum number of parking spaces required for the Short Term Rental
is one per bedroom, or two spaces for each unit (four spaces in all). The maximum
occupancy for guests on-site after 11 :00 p.m. for each two-bedroom Short Term
Rental unit is six (12 in all); however, at the time of this writing, the applicant
accepts City Council's recent Short Term Rental condition revisions reducing the
number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom and limiting the number
of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These changes are reflected in
the conditions below.
As of June 10, 2021 , Host Compliance shows the property as advertised for rent
with a minimum 30 night stay.
On June 11 , 2021 , the applicant submitted a written request to withdraw this
application from consideration. The item was not advertised for the July 6, 2021
City Council meeting and no further action is required by Council for this item.
• Considerations:
This site lies within the Chesapeake Beach subdivision, which is home to a myriad
of dwelling types. The subject lot contains an over/under style duplex building
located in the R-5R(SD) Residential District. While the applicant owns both units,
this Short Term Rental Conditional Use Permit request is only for Unit B, the first
floor unit (the applicant does not reside on-site). In addition, the property sits
approximately 400 feet from the public beach of the Chesapeake Bay. The
applicant's parking plan depicts three required off-street parking spaces within an
existing compacted gravel driveway located at the rear of building. This parking
area is accessed through an entryway located along Lee Avenue and is
accompanied by a perpetual ingress/egress easement running east/west behind
most of the north fronting Ocean View Avenue and south fronting Lauderdale
Avenue properties within the block. Although the parking for this unit does not have
Andrew Lin
Page 2 of 4
ideal access, it does meet the minimum requirements. As permitted by Section
241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the
parking plan and deemed it acceptable. Furthermore, the requirements of Section
241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably
met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided
in the attached Staff Report.
There were four citizens opposed to the request that were present at the public
hearing and one letter of opposition was received by Staff. The opposition
expressed their concerns with Short Term Rentals in general as well as focusing
on the possibility of increased traffic, noise, trash, a perceived lack of enforceability
of the recommended conditions, nearby property value impacts, and possible
violent activities, such as a shooting the occurred at another Short Term Rental in
the neighborhood recently.
• Recommendation:
On June 9, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend denial
of this request by a vote of 6 to 0. If City Council chooses to approve the request,
Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 4441
Ocean View Avenue, Unit B, and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in
the principal structure.
2. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
3. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of
approval. The renewal process of this Conditional Use Permit may be
administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the
Planning Department shall notify the City Council in writing prior to the renewal
of any Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental where the Short Term
Rental has been the subject of neighborhood complaints, violations of its
conditions or violations of any building, housing, zoning, fire or other similar
codes.
4. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more
than the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of
bedrooms times two (2)) on the property where the Short Term Rental is
located. This Short Term Rental may not request or obtain a Special Event
Permit under City Code Section 4-1 (8a).
5. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a
responsible person, who may be the owner, operator or an agent of the owner
or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty(30) minutes. Physical response
to the site of the Short Term Rental is not required.

MEETING DATE: July 6, 2021
• Background:
This Ordinance was deferred by City Council at the June 15, 2021 City Council
Hearing.
City Council adopted an Ordinance regulating Short Term Rental Use on January
15, 2019. This proposed Ordinance amends the existing regulations to incorporate
certain Short Term Rental Overlay Districts, and modifies rules within those
specific areas. Additionally, stronger regulations regarding safety requirements are
proposed. Six specific amendments are proposed:
1. Create two overlay districts where Short Term Rental use is permitted; the
North End Overlay (Short Term Rentals permitted by Conditional Use Permit)
and the Oceanfront Resort Overlay District (Short Term Rentals permitted as a
matter of right).
2. Incorporate the Short Term Rental Overlay Districts into the official zoning map
(North End - existing area of North End Overlay, without Pirates Cove
City of Virginia Beach - Short Term Rental Overlay Districts
Page 2 of 2
neighborhood or area west of Holly Road and the entire Oceanfront Resort
District as it exists).
3. Amend the zoning land use tables in all applicable zoning districts.
4. Add additional safety regulations for all short term rentals.
5. Rules and regulations for Short Term Rentals located within the Overlay
Districts.
6. Transition rules for the review of Short Term Rental conditional use permit
applications.
• Considerations:
This Ordinance was referred to the Planning Commission by City Council for
consideration on October 20, 2020. The Planning Commission held numerous
workshops and public outreach opportunities. The Ordinance was considered on
the March Planning Commission agenda, where it was recommended for approval
with several modifications from City Council's initial draft. Following a City Council
workshop, City Council modified the proposed Ordinance to eliminate the inclusion
of overlays in the Shore Drive area, the Hollies neighborhood, and properties
zoned Resort Tourist (RT) District. The sponsoring City Council members also
revised the rentals to one per seven-day period in the Oceanfront Resort Overlay
and requested that on-site inspections as well as rental ledgers reflecting days
rented with no identifying information be provided to staff during the Zoning permit
process. No changes to the number of rentals per week or occupant load for Short
Term Rentals in Sandbridge are proposed. On June 22, 2021 , City Council held a
workshop providing further guidance on the City Council preferred version of the
Short Term Rental regulations. Further details pertaining to the ordinance, as well
as Staff's evaluation and both the recommended Planning Commission and City
Council direction ordinance, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Recommendations:
On March 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 7-0

Establish Three (3) Short Term Rental Overlay Districts
2a
Virginia Beach
Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 102 of the City Zoning Ordinance establishing Short Term Rental Overlay Districts- East
Shore Drive, North End and Oceanfront Resort.
Summary of Referred Ordinance
This Ordinance amends Section 102 of the City Zoning Ordinance to establish three (3) Short Term Rental Overlay
Districts.The proposed Short Term Overlay Districts are: (1) East Shore Drive, (2) North End, and (3) Oceanfront Resort
District (West Shore Drive Overlay was removed from consideration at the City Council formal hearing). Further
descriptions of the metes and bounds of these areas are provided in the proposed ordinance amendment to the official
zoning map.
Recommendation
At the Planning Commission workshop held on January 28, 2021,the Planning Commission discussed the areas of the
City in which they felt Short Term Rental overlay districts were appropriate.These opinions were solidified further at the
workshop held on February 23, 2021. It should be noted that no vote was taken;the purpose of the workshop was for
discussion only. The information listed below reflects the discussions that occurred during the workshop and are not a
formal recommendation by the Planning Commission.
Following in-depth discussions, the Planning Commission felt that a Short Term Rental overlay district is appropriate in
the Oceanfront Resort(OR) District, as well as the remaining Resort Tourist (RT) zoned properties in the City. In these
overlay districts, Short Term Rentals would be permitted by-right, provided they meet the requirements of Section 241.2
of the Zoning Ordinance.
Discussions regarding the proposed East Shore Drive overlay involved moving the southern boundary of the overlay
from the Cape Henry Bike Trail to Shore Drive.All other boundaries would remain the same. Short Term Rentals would
be permitted in this area by Conditional Use Permit only. There was also discussion about capping the density of Short
Term Rentals in the area to ten-percent of the dwelling units in the overlay district.
Discussions regarding the proposed North End overlay included extending the coundary to also encompass "The Hollies"
neighborhood, located between 45th and 49th Streets. Short Term Rentals would be permitted in this area by Conditional
Use Permit only.There was also discussion about capping the density of Short Term Rentals in the area to 15-percent of
the dwelling units in the overlay district.

Applicant City of Virginia Beach Agenda Item
Planning Commission Public Hearing March 10, 2021(Deferred at the
February 10, 2021 meeting) 2c
C;,,,,,1 Amend Regulations and Requirements for Short Term
Virginia Beach Rentals in Overlay Districts
Request
An Ordinance to add Article 23, consisting of Sections 2300 through 2303 (Short Term Rental Overlay Districts),to the
City Zoning Ordinance establishing regulations and requirements pertaining to Short Term Rentals in each overlay
district.
Summary of Referred Ordinance
The establishment of Short Term Rental overlay districts would make Short Term Rentals a permitted use within the
overlay districts, provided they meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance.The existing regulations found in
Section 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance remain in place.Article 23 is proposed to be added and specifically applies to
Short Term Rental Overlay Districts as follows:
i. Add to Condition (1)—Any parking spaces added to the site to meet the required parking shall not add
impervious surface. One required space within a garage may be counted, provided it meets the dimensional
requirements of a parking space. Driveway areas within the City right-of-way may be counted provided
pedestrian or vehicular traffic is not impacted.
ii. Replace Condition (2)—No events associated with the Short Term Rental are permitted with more persons than
can stay overnight. No Special event Permits may be requested.
iii. Replace Condition (3)—Name and contact of owner or representative must be provided that can respond and
be capable of being physically at the site within 30 minutes to address an issue.
iv. Replace Condition (8)— No more than fifty-two (52) rental contracts permitted per year.
v. Replace Condition (11)—Maximum occupancy between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. shall be the number of
bedrooms times two. Minors, sixteen years or younger are not counted; however, in no case shall occupancy
be greater than three times the number of bedrooms.
vi. New Condition—If a Short Term Rental is located within the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit
Program (RPPP), only two residential passes are permitted while Short Term Rental is in use. No temporary or
guest RPPP passes are permitted.
An area not located in a Short Term Rental overlay district may petition City Council to create an overlay district,
provided the area is a pre-established boundary and that the identified community is able to gather signatures in favor
of the request from sixty(60) percent of the property owners within the community.
These amendments do not pertain to properties located within the Sandbridge Special Service District, as per legislation
from the General Assembly.
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 2
Page 16
If a property previously obtained a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental use, that property could operate under
the conditions of the use permit,or the homeowner may choose to relinquish the use permit and operate under the above
listed regulations.Should these amendments be approved,a conditional use permit will not be able to be administratively
renewed following its five year duration, and the property must meet the above requirements or will not be able to
operate a Short Term Rental.
Recommendation
At the Planning Commission workshops held on January 28, 2021, each of these proposed amendments were discussed.
There were no changes to the items listed below from the discussions at the first workshop at the Planning
Commission's second workshop on February 23, 2021. Below is a description of the items discussed during the
workshop.
i. Parkin —No change to the required number of off-street parking spaces, one space per bedroom was
suggested. The Planning Commission agreed that any space added to the site to meet this requirement should
be a permeable material, but suggested that the language be changed to be consistent with the definition for
impervious cover listed in the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance.The amendment referred to
Planning Commission allowed only one parking space within a garage to be counted toward the minimum
number of off-street parking spaces required; however,the Planning Commission felt that garages large enough
to accommodate more than one vehicle, should be allowed to do so.
ii. Special Events—The Planning Commission agrees with the requirement in the ordinance referred to them by
City Council.
iii. Responsible Party—The Planning Commission agreed that the name and contact information of a responsible
party must be provided and kept on file. In addition,the responsible party should be able to respond to any
issue that arises within 30 minutes.The Planning Commission did not agree that the responsible party must be
on-site within 30 minutes, instead,they suggested this time limitation be changed to one (1) hour.
iv. Number of Rental Contracts -The Planning Commission felt that the number of rental contracts should be
different depending on which overlay district the property is in. If a property is located in the proposed
Oceanfront Resort or Resort Tourist overlay district,the Short Term Rental owner would be permitted two
rental contracts per week. If the property is located within the proposed East Shore Drive, North End, or the
Hollies overlay districts,the Short Term Rental owner would be permitted one rental contract per week.
v. Occupancy-The Planning Commission agrees with the requirement in the ordinance referred to them by City
Council.
vi. Residential Parking Permit Program—The Planning Commission supports the addition of this requirement since
it mirrors the condition already imposed on all properties within the boundaries of the Residential Parking
Program Permit program, which limits the property to two residential passes when used as a Short Term Rental
and no guest or temporary passes..
Additionally,the Planning Commission discussed two other amendments involving life safety requirements, as referred
to them by Councilwoman Henley. This ordinance was not advertised for the February Planning Commission meeting, so
it will not be voted on; however, it will be considered at the March public hearing.These proposed amendments are
listed below and are accompanied by the Planning Commission's suggestions. These proposed changes will also apply to
Sandbridge.
1. Life Safety—The referred Ordinance requires that an affidavit, signed by the property owner or representative,
be submitted to the Planning Department annually. This affidavit must state that the smoke alarms and carbon
monoxide detectors are in good working order,that they have been inspected in the past year, and that there is
a fire extinguisher on-site and in plain sight.The Planning Commission suggested this ordinance move forward as
referred.
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 2
Page 17
2. Deck Safety—The ordinance referred by City Council requires a safety inspection to be done annually by a
construction professional or engineer.A report must be submitted and maintained with the zoning office.The
report must indicate that all exterior decks,stairs and patios are safe for occupancy. In addition,a placard
identifying the number of occupants permitted on all exterior decks and patios must be posted on each level of
the structure.The Planning Commission supported this ordinance; however,they suggested that a report be
submitted every five years instead of annually.The Planning Commission also noted that Commonwealth of
Virginia Registered Design Professional's (architects and engineers)are qualified to generate and certify such a
safety report. Furthermore,the Planning Commissioners felt that a Commonwealth of Virginia Class A
Contractor could also generate and certify the safety report.

Planning Commission Public Hearing March 10, 2021(Deferred at the

Amend the Use Tables for Short Term Rental use
Virginia Beach
Request
An Ordinance to amend Sections 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125, 1521 and 2203 of the City Zoning Ordinance and
Section 5.2 of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code pertaining to the requirements and use of Short Term
Rentals and overlays.
Summary of Referred Ordinance
This Ordinance amends the use tables in the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals. In all districts
where Short Term Rentals require a Conditional Use Permit, such designation is removed. In these districts, Short Term
Rental is replaced with a new use identifying them as permitted by-right, provided all requirements of Section 241.2,
and where applicable Section 2303, are met.
Recommendation
At the Planning Commission workshops held on January 28, 2021 and February 23, 2021,the boundaries and
requirements of potential Short Term Rental overlay districts were discussed.The Planning Commission felt the
requirement for a Conditional Use Permit should depend on what potential overlay district the property is in. If a
property is in the Oceanfront Resort or Resort Tourist districts, Planning Commission felt that Short Term Rentals should
be permitted as a matter of right, provided they meet the requirements of Section 241.2 and the proposed section 2303
of the Zoning Ordinance.They felt that properties located in the other proposed overlay districts, East Shore Drive,
North End and the Hollies, should require a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental uses.Any property located
outside a proposed overlay district, should not be permitted to operate a Short Term Rental unless grandfathered. No
new Conditional Use Permits may be applied for outside of the overlay districts.

10 2300 -2303
11
12 WHEREAS, the public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning
13 practice so require;
14
15 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
16 BEACH, VIRGINIA:
17
18 That Article 23 of the City Zoning Ordinance, consisting of Sections 2300 through
19 2303, is hereby added and ordained to read as follows:
20
21 ARTICLE 23. SHORT TERM RENTAL OVERLAY DISTRICTS
22
23 Sec. 2300. Findings: Intent
24
25 The Virginia General Assembly has directed that short term rentals shall be
26 permitted as a prIndpal use in the area defined as the Sandbridge Special Service
27 District In addition, the City Council hereby finds that there are certain areas of the City
28 in which residential dwellings are, and historically have been, rented to vacationers or
29 others on a short term basis. In these areas the City Council finds that such use, when
30 a Dropriately regulated, may be carried on without adversely affecting the adiacent
31 residential neighborhoods. in other areas of the City, short term rentals are not
32 compatible with the residential use of the surrounding properties and are often the
33 cause of excessive noise, illegal or improper parking, traffic violations, congestion and
34 litter thereb: interfering with the auiet enjoyment of the residential neighborhood in
35 which the; occur The provisions of this Article allow short term rentals, with a•,oropriate
36 restrictions, only In those areas directed by the General Assembly and/or in such other
37 areas in which short term rentals may be carried on without adversely affectin the quiet
38 enioyment of neighboring properties.
39 The East Shore Drive STR Overlay is an
40 area where multi-family dwellings are common and are located very dose to the
41 Chesapeake Bay, and where vacation rentals rentals have been long existed. Other
42 areas of the Shore Drive Overlay contain more single-family dwellings and are less
43 compatible with the activities of a short term rental. Although the short term rental use
44 is generally compatible within the East Shore Drive STR Overlay, the City Council finds
45 that a.continuinq proliferation of the use will fundamentally change the character of the
46 community, negatively impact property values and diminish the Quality of life for year
47 round residents. Therefore this use should be limited within the East Shore Drive STR
48 Overlay to the percentage of short term rentals currently existing as of November 2,
49 2020.
50 The North End STR Overlay Is an area on the Atlantic Ocean that has seen a
51 proliferation of short term rentals for many years, and where rental of property during
52 the summer is a common experience that has not generated significant negative impact
53 to the community. Although the short term rental use is generally compatible within the
54 North End STR Overlay, the City Council finds that a continuing proliferation of the use
55 will fundamentally chance the character of the community, negatively impact property
56 values and diminish the Quality of life for year round residents. Therefore this use
57 should be limited within the North End STR Overlay to the percentage of short term
58 rentals currently existing as of November 2, 2020.
59 The OR STR Overt : Is an area of the City that is more urbanized than other
60 areas. The area includes the Atlantic Ocean and the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
61 Lodging accommodations and other commercial activity supporting the resort area and
62 tourism are prevalent In this area. Accordingly, short term rental density limitations are
63 unnecessary In this overlay.
64
65 Sec.2301. District boundaries.
66
67 f The Short Term Rental Overlay Districts boundaries shall be as
68 designated on the official zoning map of the city (STR).
69
70 al Other identified areas of the City may petition the City Council for an
71 overlay to be created if the identified community is able to gather the signatures of si;:,x.
72 (60) percent of the owners of the properties in the community. Such communities shall
73 be pre-existing, and any new community boundaries may not be created for the purpose
74 of meeting the requirements of this section for creation of a short term rental overlay.
75
76 Sec. 2302. Application ofrepulations.

March 10, 2021
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY
Mr. Weiner: That is all the speakers. Alright that is all the speakers, we are going to close this
and open this up for discussion, we want to start with 2A, Mr. Kemp, we are going
to call on you to walk us through this like we did, think I know what we are going
to do here, but I am 2A consist of establish three short-term rental overlay districts,
East Shore Drive, North End, and Oceanfront Resort. Do you just want to read
through it real quick in this give us all right percentages for, if we want to do.
Mr. Kemp: Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, I think that is the best way I will just give a brief summary
and then control the slideshow depending on what your speaking, take notes of
where the discussion goes so we have an idea, and a clear understanding when
the votes taken. So, agenda item 2A is the Ordinance to create the short-term
rental overlays, you have heard speakers talk about them. The three overlays are
East Shore Drive and as I mentioned earlier, as shown is what Council referred
you had, had the discussion of moving that southern boundary up to Shore Drive
from the Cape Henry bike trail. The second overlay district is the North End
overlay. If you will remember from this morning, you have discussed, including
The Hollies into the North End.
Mr. Weiner: Let us go back real quick my were on the Shore Drive, what was the total
percentage of the Shore Drive overlay, was it 8% from Shore Drive north, not
including to the trail. Well I think we might talk about percentages real quick.
Mr. Kemp: Bobby has given me the one second, I think he has that information.
1
Mr. Weiner: At least that is what we talked about in our workshop, so I wanted to bring that up
now. So, if we want to go that direction we know what direction we are going to
go in
Mr. Kemp: Right and in the workshop the Bobby will hopefully get those numbers.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Chair, there are just residential properties when again I was counting it this
morning just trying to eyeball, we are doing it by address points. I believe there is
165 now in that area. That is the new area that you have identified which is north
of Shore Drive to the Chesapeake Bay in the same boundaries.
Mr. Weiner: So, there is a 165 residential property, what is the percentage of STRs in that do
we do we know that number.
Mr. Tajan: I wrote it down I just do not know where. Give me one second. And, again this is
based on the information that was pulled in November, when we started the
process from the Host Compliance information. When I counted those that were
listed that Host Compliance had pulled down there were 19 properties there so 19,
it is 11.5%. Let me double check that. Give me one second.
Mr. Kemp: That sounds about right, 10%would be 190. So, 11.5%and then the density CAP
figures that were discussed at the workshop was 10%.
Mr. Weiner: It is already over that 10%. Okay. Alright, I am not doing that one. Okay, go
ahead.
Mr. Kemp: And, a short-term rental you had discussed where Council had referred it as a by
right you had discussed it as a Conditional Use Permit correct. The North End
overlay, you had discussed, including The Hollies area between 49-and-a-half to
42nd Street, including that area into the overlay district, again short-term rental
allowed by Conditional Use Permit with a density CAP of 15%.
Mr. Inman: I think we did 15%, because we were already past 11 or 12 or something.
Mr. Kemp: We were close to 15%, I forget the exact figure.
Mr. Inman: There was really never any kind of consensus about 15%.
Mr. Coston: It was just a plug number, something over 10.
Mr. Kemp: Okay. So, with a density of North End of 10.5% approximately is where we stand
right now.
Mr. Weiner: I have another question. I know you are going to hate me after today. I think I
asked this question at our workshop, how many short-term rentals do we have. I
think Summer if I am not mistaken said there is two coming up in the future for the
North End area that are coming up for Conditional Use Permit. Do you all know
that number, by chance,there is still just two coming up right now. Maybe because
2
I think, Summer took a minute, was like 18 coming up in the next two or three
months, two of them were in the North End.
Mr. Kemp: I am not aware. I do not know if Bobby's checking that, I am not aware of any
additional ones that have come in from the North End. And, that stems us through
the next couple of agendas.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: I think the number that you were referring to Chairman Weiner is the question about
the number of short-term rentals that were coming up in The Hollies area, I think
that was Mr. Inman's question that come up. And there were no pending
applications at that point in time. Let me see if I can find the other one, if there
was one for the North End. Mr. Chairman, it is three.
Mr. Weiner: It is three in the North End coming up.
Mr. Wall: Yeah, let us recognize them and Will Miller, also have some information he would
like to share so if it is okay with you, we would like to recognize him.
Mr. Weiner: Sure definitely all information to help out.
Mr. Miller: Atlantic Avenue is one duplex, so that is two of the applications and then there is
one more in the North End, so, three in the next coming hearings.
Mr. Kemp: Okay, Will could you repeat that from the start, I think you were cut off at the
beginning.
Mr. Miller: Okay, like you said there are three in the North End coming up. However, one of
those applications is a duplex and the same owner owns both units at 8809
Atlantic.
Mr. Kemp: Okay, thank you Will. And the last overlay that was referred down to you as the
Oceanfront Resort you had discussed, including the remaining RT properties into
this, though there are few remaining. They are in the Oceanfront Resort area and
you felt that short-term rental is appropriate. This overlay you did agree that it
would be by right, you suggested that two rentals per week was appropriate for
this overlay with no density requirement. And, those are the three overlay districts
that were referred to you and included in item 2A.
Mr. Weiner: What about the RT District are we not doing that, is that going into this 2A.
Mr. Kemp: Yes that would be included in the Oceanfront Resort Overlay. And, that would be
included in the 2A.
Mr. Weiner: That is all of 2A, so, we have to make a determination on 2A. Comments. Yes
ma'am, Robyn.
Ms. Klein: I would prefer to vote on the overlays independently.
3
Mr. Weiner: We cannot, we have to do 2A.
Ms. Klein: We have to do 2A. Okay, in that regard, I can support the Oceanfront Overlay, I
am having a much harder time reconciling the North End and East Shore Drive,
especially, and this will come up later on at the exclusion of the rest of the city I
think like you move to the Oceanfront you understand you are in a resort district,
but the North End and the Shore Drive favor the wealthy, and so that excludes the
rest of us in the city who may be able to take advantage of short-term rentals. So
I will be voting against 2A.
Mr. Weiner: Well, not unless we reword it.
Ms. Klein: As it is currently written.
Mr. Weiner: As it currently written, I mean personally, we could make it.
Ms. Wilson: We have looked at it again, and again, and again, and again. And I think if you
want to do it, and divide the question, what you need to do is just do East Shore
Drive, North End, Oceanfront. Do not do The Hollies we are going to put The
Hollies, that would be discussed when you do North End.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, let us go back to Shore Drive, then we go to North End, we decide if we
want to put The Hollies in North End.
Ms. Wilson: Then we can do RT in ORD. If you want to split them up that way I think we can
do that. Somebody has to move to divide the question. Okay, and then you have
to have a second and then you have to vote to do that, but that would be fine. I
think that will catch everything.
Mr. Weiner: Can we eliminate The Hollies completely, or do we have to vote on the North End
to eliminate The Hollies.
Ms. Wilson: Yeah, when you vote on the North End you will decide whether the Hollies are in
or out. Yes, but it is something they have talked about putting in, so I think you
have to decide in or out for The Hollies.
Mr. Weiner: How about if I said no more short term rentals in the North End, Shore Drive area,
only Oceanfront OT RT district, bottom line.
Ms. Wilson: That's fine. Then you wouldn't have to vote on them individually.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, we can just do 2A and I think that is where Mrs. Klein was going.
Ms. Wilson: Okay, and then, if we do that, then Ms. Oliver will need to abstain on that one.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, let's hear some comments first before we go that direction.
Mr. Coston: So, are we saying only, to cut North End and Shore Drive, cut those out of the
overlays.
4
Mr. Weiner: No, cut them out completely. No short term rentals at all. Only short term rentals
in the Resort District, in the RT OR district.
Ms. Klein: Oh, I don't know that I agree with that.
Mr. Coston: I don't either.
Mr. Weiner: So, you are saying you still want short term rentals in the North End.
Ms. Klein: So, I am saying that I agree, excuse me John, for talking over you. I agree with
Oceanfront RT by right. I don't think that that should exclude other parts of the city
from being able to either by registration or by permit. This was more just a "I don't
support the by right in the Shore Drive and the North End."
Mr. Weiner: Okay, I don't think it was worded like that anyway, you know what I mean? Jack.
Mr. Wall: I was just going to make a motion. First, to split.
Mr. Weiner: I was trying not to but I think we are going to have to. But if anybody wants to
make a motion to split them up, please do.
Ms. Klein: I would like to make a motion to divide 2A into three separate votes. 2A one, two
and three, so that we vote individually on each of the overlay districts.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, do we have a second?
Mr. Coston: Second
Ms. Klein: Kay, I have a question. Voting on these districts, in the requirements for short term
rentals in the overlay districts zoning, so like if I say I vote in favor of the Oceanfront
Resort district, does that mean that I am also voting in favor of excluding the rest
of the city, or is that a separate?
Mr. Tajan: So that's why we are having trouble here right. So, if you divide the question you
are essentially saying that you want to determine that you are okay with these
overlays. If you are not okay with the overlays at all and you just want to, it sounds
like Ms. Klein, that you are talking about Conditional Use Permit everywhere in the
City, but by right in the OR and the RT district. That sounds like what you are
looking for.
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Wilson: But we are not going to do those in this section. What you have to do is probably.
Ms. Wilson: That is kind of like a completely different than what is already on the table, so you
may need, you need to take the whole question together if that makes sense.
Mr. Weiner: That is not really even in this ordinance, that is completely different. We are just
talking about the overlay in this ordinance.
5
Ms. Wilson: What I will say is this is the only place the ordinance will say where STRs may be
allowed. So every place else it will not be allowed, it will be an X, not anything else.
Mr. Weiner: Right, that would be something we would have to bring up differently in the future,
bring it back, wouldn't it? The rest of the city anyway. That would be something
that Council would have to bring back to us.
Mr. Tajan: Technically, so you can take it, and Kay, you can fuss at me how you want, but
you can technically vote on whether you support or not support City Council's
proposal, right? But what you are doing is you are bringing forward your own
recommendation, ok? And so you need to have consensus on your own
recommendation moving forward. So, you can vote either up or down, thumbs up
thumbs down on what City Council sent you, or you can say in place of that, we
recommend this. And so, the key is when you recommend this, you should
probably have a consensus on what you want to do, probably determine if there is
any support for any alternatives, which is what is kind of what's on the table at this
point. Kay, I think that is the easiest way to kind of explain it?
Ms. Wilson: Okay, so if you want to have a discussion about everybody else, about the rest of
the City, make it a discussion and then you can divide that question too. Okay Ms.
Klein?
Ms. Oliver: So I just want to be clear, because I thought during workshops we had pretty much
clarified this. The way it's presented to us, handled down from Council, as this
Ordinance is written,we had discussed in the workshops, specific things according
to the overlays.And one of those was that if the overlay was chosen to be removed
from these two or three areas, which, let's take out OR and RT, but Shore Drive
and North End, that there would not be any short-term rentals permitted at all. Just
like Council has asked for the rest of the city.
Mr. Weiner: That's what I was understanding.
Mr. Kemp: Yes, and while Kay is talking, let me explain a little because this got all muddied
together. Because you have item 2 and then it's broken up. What 2A is, is the
boundaries of any overlay district, so you are dealing with the area included in the
overlay. What B deals with is amending the zoning map, then you have C which is
the requirements.
Mr. Weiner: Back up a minute. So, A & B, let's think about this a minute. If we break up A, we
may have to break up B.
Mr. Kemp: Well, B, whatever is voted on in A and approved in A, B just goes and coincides
with that to update the official zoning map.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, so let us go this route. Let us get this route we got a motion on the table to
break them up. Okay, and a second. Let us vote on that,then we can break these
up, and then we can determine we can talk about each individual one. Does
6
sounds good everybody? All right,so we have a motion by Ms. Klein,and a second
by Mr. Coston, to break these up and vote them on individually.
Ms. Sandloop:Okay, Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Graham is absent. Mr. Horsley is absent. Mr. Inman.

three different questions.
Mr. Weiner: Real quick, for the record, Mr. Horsley has left the meeting.
Ms. Sandloop:Thank you. So, noted.

Item #2A - 1
City of Virginia Beach — East Shore Drive Overlay District
March 10, 2021
RECCOMENDED FOR APPROVAL—HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Okay. So, now we are voting on now we need to go to 2A-1, East Shore Drive.
Mr. Kemp: And 2A-1 just to be clear, we have talked about density,whether it is a Conditional
Use Permit or not, that those are addressed in 2C and 2D. What 2A is, is just the
boundary. I know it's muddied the waters a little when we have discussed them
along with the boundary but what 2A is, is the boundary and the area included in
any short-term rental overlay.
Mr. Weiner: But we still have to determine if we want to let this keep going, or do we want to
put a cap on it.
Mr. Kemp: Correct. And that is a discussion,
Mr. Weiner: Right, it is only 165 houses residential houses in that area. So, what do we want
to do about that.
Mr. Inman: Well is one legitimate issue that we do not want an overlay?
Mr. Coston: I thought it is where we were kind of headed to, no overlay.
Mr. Weiner: That is what I wanted to do and do it all at one time, we are going to be breaking
them up. So, somebody make a motion or discussion.
Ms. Klein: I move that there be no overlay on East Shore Drive.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion for no overlay.
Ms. Oliver: I will second that.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Ms. Klein and second by Ms. Oliver. We are ready for vote.
Mr. Tajan: Do you want to have any further discussion?
Mr. Weiner: No, we are just saying no overlay at all, it's no overlay whatsoever.
Ms. Oliver: And just to clarify that means no more STRs in that area, is that correct?
Mr. Weiner: That is not correct.
Ms. Oliver: No, that's not correct?
Mr. Inman: Not necessarily. It's a start.
1
Mr. Tajan: So just to understand and this is where we get into the complicatedness of a
zoning. So, this is the actual zoning district that is being created. There are rules
that go into the zoning district right, or can be globally changed for the city. So,
those rules that are globally changed, as Kevin noted is going to come up in 2C
and 2D, so right now if we just want to say we are not going to have the overlay
and then you will look through those zoning regulations without overlay, without
this overlay in place. Does that make sense.
Mr. Kemp: Yeah, so you would not be putting special conditions that did not apply elsewhere
onto this one specific area.
Mr. Wall: Just before we do vote, let us do have a brief discussion on the reasons why and
not, not why to support this overlay district.
Ms. Klein: I'll start since I kind of started it. So, I based on what we have heard from the
community, it does not sound like that as a whole, the East Shore Drive residents
are amenable to the idea of having a by right short-term rental overlay, not that
they want to exclude short-term rentals entirely, but they do not want to allow a by
right overlay. And so my motion is to say that we do not have a by right overlay
on East Shore Drive. Right, that's what I said?
Mr. Weiner: Was it worded like that to begin with?
Mr. Inman: An overlay does not have to be by-right.
Mr. Weiner: It can be an overlay with Conditional Use Permits, which that is the way it was
supposed to be. So,this was an overlay with Conditional Use Permits, that is what
we are trying to do. So, if we say no overlay, now people can actually still come
back in with a Conditional Use Permit for this area and try and get a short-term
rental in this area.
Ms. Klein: Yeah, I am okay with that.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, but just not in this overlay so that means we are going to go back to what
we were doing from day one, six years ago and we are going to listen to each one
individually in the future.
Ms. Klein: So, I am not saying that I agree with that, I apologize I could not have been at the
last workshop, I also was not here six years ago. I am saying that, aside from the
Oceanfront Resort, I do not think certain parts of the city should have special
privileges over others and I apologize that that was unclear and I did not say that
properly.
Mr. Weiner: I understood what you were saying, I understood exactly what you were saying.
Ms. Oliver: Wait, I just had to ask Robyn a question. So, when you said special privileges over
the rest of the city. What does that mean, I'm just curious because now all of a
sudden I am thinking.
2
Ms. Klein: Sure. So the way I read this right now, and based on Kevin's wonderful
presentation earlier today, East Shore Drive and North End overlays would be
permitted short-term rentals under certain conditions, and the Oceanfront Resort
overlay would be permitted short-term rentals by right. That is my understanding.
What my ultimate point opinion is, is that I think that the Oceanfront Resort should
receive short-term rentals by right. Okay, so that one I agree with, I think the rest
of the city should have the opportunity to run a short-term rental, not that I agree
with the method that we have right now to go about it, but I do not think that
residents in Centerville or Kempsville should be excluded.
Ms. Oliver: So, okay so that is what I am trying to. Yeah, but I do not know and I have just
thrown this back out to you, Kevin. That is not the discussion at hand for this
particular ordinance.
Mr. Kemp: Well, it all ties in, because if you wanted to have the Oceanfront Resort overlay,
and then treat the rest of the city in a different way, you would have to remove this
overlay from the ordinance going forward.
Mr. Weiner: So actually, there is a North End overlay we are just not going to permit your short-
term rental.
Mr. Kemp: It was going to be an overlay on an overlay.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. So, let us get back to this, go back to the East Shore Drive real quick. So
we have a motion on table to take the overlay off and a second,to take the overlay
out, okay. If we vote on that and that goes, somebody can still go back in there
with a Conditional Use Permit, next month.
Mr. Tajan: So, we have not gotten to that discussion yet right. We need to get there so the
key is, is that I am going to try to, I am trying to summarize, in an easy way it is not
easy because it is all in pieces right. So the overlays were used to say when they
were referred to you the overlays were used to say this is where short-term rental
should be, and it should not be anywhere else. That is the general concept, so if
you say that you do not want this overlay here, that's the saying that, that in that
general thought you are not distinguishing this as someplace that is different, that
should be treated differently either for or against short-term rental. Does that make
sense. So, if you remove this, if you choose to remove this or if you and you
choose to remove the North End, short-term overlay district,then the questions for
the regulations become a different discussion if that makes sense.
Mr. Inman: Okay. It seems to me that we once talked about putting these limits on and using
the overlay to do so. Limits in those. So if we eliminate the overlay, then we now
have lost the ability to put a cap on short-term rentals in those areas.
Mr. Weiner: And it gets deeper from that. That means some because I understand where we
are coming from, you do not want to see the whole city not be able to have short-
term rentals. That's basically what you're getting at. And I think there's uhm, so I
3
guess we are just going to have to have a consensus on us between us. We agree
with that. Somebody needs to speak up.
Mr. Coston: I agree with that.
Mr. Weiner: So, you agree to having short-term rentals in the whole city. Okay,to for the whole
city. I personally do not, I do not, okay to say no to Mike does not. Jack.
Mr. Wall: I think that we also have the grandfathering aspect of it, which is going to come up
2C. So that to me that kind of plays into it also.
Mr. Weiner: It does and it doesn't but not in this particular one it is going to come in 2C I think
that's something 2C.
Mr. Wall: Right and I did hear from the residents, from a fairly large percentage of those who
lived in the Shore Drive East Shore Drive area that they were, they were opposed
to this, being treated differently. You know, having an overlay on them that treats
them differently than the rest of the city. So then, that kind of weighs was on me.
It wasn't just those who spoke today it was quite a bit of correspondence that we
did receive, so that that does weigh on me in this aspect.
Ms. Oliver: Well, the way I, the way I read and heard them was with this particular overlay,
was that, yes,they did not like being singled out as far as this was where the short-
term rentals were supposed to be. And from what I gathered, they did not want
them, or did not want any more. They do not want any more, no more to this
neighborhood. It's a neighborhood and they did not, they were like cap it, stop it.
Mr. Inman: Absolutely right.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, and to the point where Whitney had even said, you know, we will take the
southern side of the overlay out to protect it, to keep them from having any more
but they were saturated enough, and there were enough letters to, I thought to
warrant that. So that's where I was coming from and taking the overlay out was,
because the rest of the city was out of that, and not and I totally get where you're
coming from, but I was looking at this particular concentrated area.And so in order
to take it out of the overlay I was trying to stop the addition of STRs that were
already there. Not that the ones that were there could not operate but more of
them, because it is such a high density area.
Mr. Weiner: Ms. Wilson. To get around this, because I think this has changed. Can we look at
a substitute motion, or do we have to vote on this.
Ms. Wilson: You can substitute Ms. Klein's motion, but you are just making this even more
complicated.
Mr. Weiner: I know, but now that we understand where we are at, I think I think there's a lot of
us here who do not want to follow through with that motion.
4
Ms. Wilson: Okay the motion was that we would remove the East Shore Drive overlay, as a by
right use of STRs.
Mr. Weiner: Slash no short-term rentals at all?
Ms. Wilson: No, that is not what that says.
Mr. Weiner: Alright. So, how do you all feel about that, I'm not on board with that. Somebody
needs to make a motion.
Ms. Wilson: So we need to vote on that, somebody needs to make a substitute motion.
Mr. Weiner: Somebody. Do you understand what the substitute motion would be? The
substitute motion would be that we actually had to go back to an overlay and just
have the caps, stop, no more short-term rentals there. Have an overlay, yes, there
is an overlay there, with no more short-term rentals allowed. We can do that.
Mr. Wall: I do not think that would be the right, I think it would just be not having an overlay
period. And not treat it any differently than the rest of the city.
Mr. Inman: How does that helps stop the flow. I do not know,
Mr. Weiner: Let us try to figure it out how to stop the flow.
Mr. Tajan: So, the question still has to be asked whether, if you take this out of overlay so
remember, you are the overlay is identifying something specific about this area
that means it should be treated differently. Okay, if you are removing the overlay,
and you plan on treating it like the rest of the city, we still need to get back to the
discussion. The rest of the city is it not permitted? Which is what, which is what
the consensus is right, that is what we took down as the consensus, was that the
short-term rentals were no longer permitted outside of any of the overlay districts.
So that is where staff is sitting right now, because that's the information we have.
Mr. Weiner: So if we get at this vote on this then, we go to the North End, we vote on the North
End and keep the overlay there and cap, do a percentage there and that will take
away everything from the city, the rest of the city.
Mr. Coston: I did not hear the same thing from the North End that I heard from Shore Drive.
Mr. Inman: That because you did not read the 625 pages.
Mr. Coston: We are not short-term enthusiast you say it. Well, we know short-term rentals are
here to stay. We just want to make sure they're monitored better, even, and there
are a lot more people who say they wanted them that we heard from today, than
not, but the ones who did not want them, said, let us monitor them better and make
sure they are safer for us.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, let us get through East Shore Drive, because I think we know that we don't
want an overlay.
5
Ms. Klein: So we have the question as to whether or not we will allow short-term rentals in
the rest of the city, that is a part of 2C.
Mr. Kemp: That will ultimately be resolved, I mean that is a decision that has to be made it
would ultimately be resolved in 2D, which is where we update the use permit or
the use tables and each section where short-term rentals are permitted. So you
could have short-term rentals in OR district, a "P"- permitted short-term rentals in
North End, a"C"conditional short-term rentals everywhere else in the city, and "X"
for prohibited, "P"for permitted you could do it through that with the use table.
Ms. Klein: Okay, so I understand what Mike is saying, regarding if there's no overlay we
cannot cap it. Right. Okay. And that the question of whether or not we allow it,
other places in the city is a different question that we can answer farther down.
Mr. Kemp: Correct, yes that is addressed in our use tables.
Ms. Klein: Okay, so I would like to revise my own motion.
Mr. Weiner: Can we do that.
Ms. Klein: Okay. I would like to revise my motion to approve the East Shore Drive overlay
with a cap of 11.5%. Okay, so I move that we approve the East Shore Drive
overlay within an 11.5% density cap.
Ms. Wilson: What do you mean by East Shore Drive overlay, is that all the way - all of it or just
Shore Drive? I guess that is whatever that is.
Mr. Kemp: Is it what Council referred down, which is what you are seeing on the map, or did
you want to move that southern boundary up?
Mr. Weiner: What does that do to the houses, north, south of the Shore Drive to the trail.
Mr. Kemp: If you move the boundary up to Shore Drive the houses of south of the trail would
no longer be in the overlay, so if you prohibited short-term rentals elsewhere in the
city they would be prohibited in that area.
Mr. Weiner: Perfect for me.
Mr. Inman: So we want to modify the definition of the overlay in your motion.
Ms. Klein: I am modifying it to stop at Shore Drive?
Mr. Inman: Correct.
Mr. Weiner: North of Shore Drive
Ms. Wilson: I guess the next question is, in the overlay, let's get them all done, let's not parcel
them out for the next six hours.What is, do you want, okay, you are going to do an
overlay, is that they are going to be permitted by right?
6
Ms. Klein: No.
Ms. Wilson: Permitted with a CUP?
Ms. Klein: Yes.
Ms. Wilson: Let's go ahead and get that here. Because all you are really doing here is getting
it so that I can write it.
Ms. Klein: So if there is a 10% cap or 11.5% cap, does it matter if there is?
Mr. Inman: Yes, because they could go away. It could go down to 8%
Ms. Klein: But does it matter if we do the permits verses the registration?
Mr. Weiner: What do you mean?
Ms. Klein: So, if it's a, can we do an 11.5% by right.
Mr. Inman: No.
Ms. Klein: You have to do a CUP?
Mr. Kemp: You could but it sounds like the discussion is more that, the desire would be that if
this area dropped under that percentage and there was still density left, that any
property that wish to do it would require a CUP. That Council still would want, you
know, you would still want to see those properties.
Ms. Klein: Okay
Ms. Wilson: Okay, so where we are is you have made a motion for the East Shore Drive overlay
that would be bounded by Shore Drive. That any short-term rentals in the overlay
would require a CUP, and that you want a cap for density of 11.5%.
Ms. Oliver: No.
Mr. Weiner: Yes, that's it.
Ms. Oliver: No, don't panic. Are we at 11.5 there or 10? I thought we were at 10.5 on Shore
Drive. That is, I am just checking the numbers.
Mr. Kemp: The earlier number we had calculated was 11.5.
Ms. Oliver: Just on the north side?
Mr. Kemp: That is 19 short term rentals of 165 properties.
Ms. Oliver: On the north side of Shore Drive?
Mr. Kemp: On the north side of Shore Drive.
7
Ms. Oliver: Okay
Mr. Weiner: So, we have a motion by Ms. Klein, we need a second.
Ms. Wilson: Well actually this was an amendment to her motion. So we need the second to
agree with her motion.
Mr. Coston: I agree for the second.
Ms. Klein: Which was the original motion?
Mr. Weiner: So, we have an amendment to Ms. Klein motion and second by Mr. Coston.
Ms. Sandloop:The original second was by Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: I second.
Ms. Wilson: Okay, before the vote Ms. Oliver needs to disclose.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Oliver, needs to disclose that she owns a piece of property in The Hollies. The
address of it is 4500 Oceanfront Avenue. And so,with that I will abstain from voting
on the addition or the exclusion of The Hollies when we go to vote on that. But
that all other short term rentals
Ms. Wilson: Where is your short term rental located?
Mr. Weiner: What street?
Ms. Oliver: It is located in The Hollies, 45th Street. That is the address is 4500 Oceanfront. I
said.
Ms. Wilson: 4500 Oceanfront is there. However, for all the other STRs you are only disclosing
this fact, because you feel you are a member of a group, and you can
independently, objectively, and in the public interest, be unbiased for those votes.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, I do. I can be unbiased and all the rest of the votes. Thank you.
Ms. Wilson: Okay, then we are going to put that in all of them. Wherever she abstains, when
she's going to abstain on one and then she is going to disclose on the others. And
what we will put is disclosure and I will give you a letter tomorrow.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, we are ready for the vote.
Ms. Sandloop:Okay, so it is an amended motion by Ms. Klein to approve the East Shore Drive
overlay with a density cap of 11.5% and the boundaries modified to stop north of
Shore Drive.
Mr. Weiner: Yes ma'am, with Conditional Use Permits

Item # 2A - 2
City of Virginia Beach — North End Overlay District to include The Hollies
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL — HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Okay, on to the North End. So, we really kind of know what we just did. So, the
North End should be a little bit easier.
Mr. Coston: So you want to do the same thing?
Mr. Inman: Should be easier.
Mr. Weiner: So, we know we are going to do. We are at the North End, we are at a 10.6%.
And, of what's in there now, and we can do it. I do not see why we can't keep it at
10.6% Yes.
Ms. Oliver: So, Kay, I have one legal question for you. When we talk about these percentages
to cap them, so that there are no additional STRs in these overlays, does that hold
up. I mean, how.
Ms. Wilson: What would happen is now when another one comes before Planning as an
application, they will have to figure out if it is below the percentage that is in the
ordinance. If it is above the ordinance, they can still go forward with, that would
be the main part of the staff report and the staff report should probably say and it
needs to be denied.
Ms. Oliver: So, how do we, if the objective here is to stop the addition of them. How does that
how do we implement that, with, is there an additional, something that we can add
to that, so that we if we say 10.6% is the saturation point of which this particular
area can handle STRs. That the ones that already existing can obviously exist and
should there be no more, should it go below that then we can add into it but, how
do we protect these particular delicate areas from that happening.
Mr. Inman: I think what Kay just said, keep statistics and then they have to calculate it when
an application comes in, and say I'm sorry, this area is saturated.
Ms. Oliver: But you said it would still come forward.
Mr. Inman: They can't process that application.
Ms. Wilson: It would still come forward.
Ms. Oliver: It would still come forward to Planning
Mr. Weiner: Then we deny it.
1
Mr. Inman: But my question is, what goes into that statistic to determine the 10.6% Is it
permitted, by CUPs, is it grandfathered?
Mr. Weiner: I think the overall STRs, whether the grandfathered, and they are legal, that would
be the percent.
Mr. Inman: So, we got to list the grandfathered, the CUPs.
Mr. Weiner: Yes, I would say yes, he's shaking his head.
Mr. Kemp: Yes, the methodology would be, we are going to have a number of dwelling units
in that area, and that's our base number to go off of. We will also have and we do
not have it yet, because we do have to go through applications and registrations,
but in the relative near future we are going to establish how many grandfathered
we have, how many Conditional Use Permits. Basically how many short-term
rentals are in that area, because we have that number,there might be some illegal
ones that we will regulate, because if they are not legal, of course, you know they
cannot. But that is how the regulatory method. We will have the total number of
units and when an application comes in or registration comes in, if it is a new
property, we will compare it to and see if there is room in that overlay district for
that short-term rental to operate.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, we good?
Ms. Wilson: We've gotta decide if we are going to modify this a little bit. We are all gathering
we are trying to make sure we can do the best thing, okay. So I am sorry it is not
all done and we cannot do this. But what we can do is, in when somebody comes
in to get an STR in the North End or in the East Shore Drive, what would happen
is, Mister Zoning Administrator would make a determination whether or not they
could apply whether or not it could not be done. And then the route of appeal is
through the BZA, just like any other determination by Mr. Kemp. Okay, then it
would not come to you unless the BZA says, you know, disagrees with him.
Mr. Weiner: Sounds good.
Mr. Inman: Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Weiner: Yes sir.
Mr. Inman: But before we move on to the next topic, I just want to say for the record of about
why I am having a sort of a change of mind not since our last discussion really, but
just having thought about what we are going through with short-term rentals. The
reasons that you know we are seeing increasing public resistance. It is building
and building every time we have a consideration of this, and it is become clearer
that it is not a very popular idea with the most of the people. Number two,we have
enforcement problems, not because they do not want to enforce it, it is just a
question of, of manpower and detection, and all kinds of issues with trying to
2
enforce our rules. And we do not need to have more problems with enforcement
than we've already got. And we need to recognize the impact of Internet business
and entrepreneurial activity, that we have so many people entering into this
business, that never really thought about doing it, and maybe, you know COVID
has had an impact on escalation of that but I think it is going to be permanent. And
I think it is time to recognize it, but we are in a new dimension of resort rental
property ownership.
Mr. Weiner: Very well said.
Mr. Coston: Mr. Inman. I think that there is a proposal to hire people based on revenues raised
from this business. My understanding is they got cut last year because of COVID
not being sure what the income was going to be like, but there will be some
enhancement in that enforcement power.
Mr. Inman: That would be great.
Ms. Oliver: And, to be honest with you on that note, and, and I have got to go along, if I can
get my internet backup, but with Mike on that. What was concerning was they had
talked about the short-term rentals,with a real estate management companies, but
we have zoning for a specific reason.And we have residential areas to differentiate
against the industrial areas and our businesses and what is concerning. One was
the,what happened this past weekend, because the neighbors sent me the videos,
and I sent them to Bobby and passed them on and to see and hear the activity that
was going on and, granted it was an illegal STR. But, had it been one that we had
approved it, I do not think it would not have changed the behavior. He just
happened he just didn't happen to register it. But to hear the gunshots,to hear the
screaming, to watch the police to see that this group, it didn't bother them. They
were selling tickets, they was a shoot out at 3am on Friday morning or Saturday
morning and they came back and they did it again the following night. It was
difficult for them to get it under, under control. So, at one point, we are standing
there and we are listening to both sides, and what you hear is, this is our
neighborhood, the proximity of it just happens to be near the ocean, it is a public
beach. They deal with the public all the time, and these people pay an enormous
amount of real estate taxes on this property so I have, I kind of have this thing
where it is these STRs where we bring all this revenue to the city. Well, the real
estate taxes alone is large on these small pieces of property, which is revenue for
the city. Along with that you had all these people kept saying, Well, it is my right,
it is my property, it is a, I bought this to start a business. Well if you bought it to
start a business, then you need to be in an area that zoned for that, not in an area
that's zoned as a neighborhood, to protect this particular, these are us, we are
because we are all residents of the city we all live. For the most part we do not
live in an industrially zoned area or a business area. We live in a residentially
zoned areas so that we know that we have consistent neighbors throughout. You
buy one or two houses in your life and that's where you live and you grow up and
3
you raise your kids and you have dogs and you do all those things. And all of a
sudden, it's become a right or it appears to, from one person after another to buy
property in a residential area and start to conduct a business. And, I am not sure
that is exactly where we are intending for our city to go. I am not against short-
term rentals or long term rentals or anything like that, but I am not in favor of this
changing or morphing into what it's become. And it is become a burden to the city
and its residents, and to Planning Staff and to Zoning, because they cannot
possibly monitor or chase this, they just cannot, and so now we have we have we
have introduced a different type of entity into an area that was never designed to
handle something like that and I just have a difficult time with it. I am sorry.
Mr. Inman: And to add to that, our zoning code, when it talks about residential districts it sets
the tone for residential districts, it talks about certain accessory uses that are
harmonious with a residential community living. And I do not think this is a large
number of quasi-commercial if you want to call it, that enterprise is then
harmonious with residential living.
Mr. Weiner: So, I do not want to bring more into this but I think we have been the City of Virginia
Beach, has been very lenient with short-term rentals,through this process we have
been dealing with this for the past five, six years, compared to other cities. So, I
mean, where we are at now we have a lot. The map that Mike sent out to us the
other day if you clicked on the amount of short-terminals that are in cities, there is
quite a few, so I have no problem with what direction we are going in right now.
Saying that, good segue into North End unless y'all have something. Okay, North
End. Right now at North End we are at 10.6%. And we put, we just put a cap on
the Shore Drive area, how do we want to work the North End.
Ms. Klein: Where does the 15% cap come from,.
Mr. Weiner: We just made it up the other night.
Ms. Klein: Okay, we really do not need to be there.
Ms. Klein: Okay, the 10.6, does that include the Hollies or is that excluding the ones that are
in The Hollies.
Mr. Tajan: That includes The Hollies.
Ms. Klein: So, I would support a motion with a 10.6% cap.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Do you want to make the motion.
Ms. Klein: I move to accept the North End overlay to include The Hollies, and to cap short-
term rentals by Conditional Use Permit to 10.6%.
Mr. Kemp: And just to be clear, it is the boundaries as shown as what is referred to Council
plus The Hollies.
4
Mr. Weiner: That is correct. I do have a motion. Do we have a second.
Mr. Coston: Second.
Mr. Weiner: I have motion by Ms. Klein and a second by Mr. Coston, comments.
Ms. Sandloop:This is a vote on the North End Overlay District to approve the North End Overlay
District with a density cap of 10.6% and with the addition of The Hollies. Mr.

Item #2A- 3
City of Virginia Beach — Oceanfront Resort(to include properties zoned RT Districts)
Overlay District
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Okay, now we go to OR district, Oceanfront Resort district, which is going to
include the RT district, we will include the RT, and we will also we are going to
change it to, is this where we change it the two rentals per week, allowed and also
this will be by right.
Mr. Kemp: Yes, I think we included all that and we are just knocking this out.
Mr. Weiner: I like to have that in motion.
Mr. Alcaraz: I was ready to make that motion, it is going to be easy one. I like to make a motion
that we create the overlay district for the oceanfront,adding the RT zoning districts,
STRs permitted by right, two rental contracts permitted per seven day period.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Alcaraz.
Ms. Klein: I will second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a second by Ms. Klein. Mr. Inman did you have a comment.
Mr. Inman: I just wanted to clarify that the territory shown on the overlay, is it the pink on the
map?
Mr. Kemp: On which map, on the far left, it is the orange and in the middle map the pink are
actually streets or property, so it is really there is very few properties. There is one
RT4 in the middle of Old Beach, the RT3 property the blue you see, that is only a
few properties down by Winston Salem, a majority of that blue area is water. And
as you can see there is some scattered RT3 properties but, I mean we are talking
a handful of properties in the city. And I do not believe any of them are north of
the one RT4 property left in Old Beach, they are all south of that.
Mr. Inman: Alright.
Mr. Weiner: That is correct.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Weiner let me amend that include OR district and what I just said to. I just said
RT3, it is OR district.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, yeah, OR district, okay. We are ready for vote.

Item #2C
City of Virginia Beach —An Ordinance to add Article 23, consisting of Sections 2300
through 2303 (Short Term Rental Overlay Districts), to the City Zoning Ordinance
establishing regulations and requirements pertaining to Short Term Rentals in each
Overlay District
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Kemp: Now 2C we start to get to the meat and potatoes. These are the requirements that
City Council referred down, to be in the overlay districts. So, Mr. Chair, however
you would like to go through this, would you just like to.
Mr. Weiner: We went through it this morning. Does anybody have any changes. Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: So I do, now that I have a better understanding. I would like to amend the
established overlay districts. For this, the parts of the city that are outside of these
three new overlays, that we permit STRs with Conditional Use Permit it is at a cap
of, 10-15% that encompasses the entire rest of the city. And or allowing STRs by
right for those who use the home as their primary residence, so that would allow
like military that goes overseas or families that travel or whatever.
Mr. Inman: Is not that home sharing.
Mr. Weiner: Not they are not there. You mean if they leave and want to rent their house.
Ms. Klein: Right, If I own a house and then I deploy for six months, I want to be able to rent
my home out well I am gone, but it is still my primary residence.
Mr. Weiner: Not by right though. It would still have to be a Conditional Use Permit. I don't know
if I am 100% on board with that.
Ms. Wilson: I have a second to discuss it.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Discussion. I think Mike Inman and Dee Oliver have already voiced their
opinion on that particular the rest of the city, and I feel the same way as in I believe
we have enough short-term rentals outside the area. I do not feel like we need
more short-term rentals inside neighborhoods,they are not businesses like that so
I cannot be, I got to say no to that. George.
Mr. Wall: Well, so,what was the motion was for primary residence to allow short-term rentals
and also to provide a cap on the rest of the city, at some undetermined percentage
5-10% of them like that okay, yeah. I think that is the point of the overlay districts
is to limit that and limit the additional short-term rentals.And then,the ability to use
the home, if it is a principal residence, I think that includes less than six months. I
think that is how it would be defined, I think there are other communities that do
1
that but I do not think that is really, since we have not necessarily approached that
at this point, I mean I am not necessarily on board with that.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, so, we have a motion and we have a second. So, we need to vote on that
the motion. Can you go through that motion one more time please.
Ms. Klein: The motion is to permit STRs outside the overlay district at a cap of, whatever they
are as of this date, which would not allow more, and to allow residents to use their
homes and STR as their principal residence.
Mr. Weiner: You wanted that by right or Conditional Use Permit?
Ms. Klein: By Conditional Use Permit.
Ms. Sandloop:Okay. So, I have a motion by Ms. Klein and a second by Mr. Coston. Mr.Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Nay.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Graham is absent. Mr. Horsley is absent. Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Ms. Oliver.
Ms. Oliver: Nay.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Redmond is absent. Vice Chair Wall.
Mr. Wall: Nay.
Ms. Sandloop:Chairman Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: No.
Ms. Sandloop:We have a vote of three in favor and four against, therefore the motion has failed.
Mr. Weiner: So, now it will stay the same, moving forward. Anybody have anything else?
Mr. Wall: So, the grandfathering aspect of, is that in the one once if we move for
grandfathering of the existing STRs. Where is that place.
Mr. Weiner: I think the terminology grandfathering is not correct, in this particular aspect. What
it needs to say, is actually on the existing Conditional Use Permit, after five years
2
it will be administratively reviewed at five years. Because grandfathered is
grandfathered, that is they are not going to come back.
Mr. Wall: I thought the point of the overlay districts was. I mean, that once it reaches that
administrative review five years then it terminates.
Mr. Weiner: It does but we said it in our workshop that we do not want that. We want that to
be five years to be administratively reviewed.
Mr. Wall: Administrative really reviewed, and I am on board with that, but I just want to make
sure that that is that that's clarified, because I am not on board with that.
Mr. Kemp: So for grandfathering as its referred down and as the discussion has been a
grandfathered STR. That was grandfathered, not one that got a Conditional Use
Permit but a grandfathered STR, has that grandfathering status. It does not lose
that status. I know staff had brought up the fact that we may want to have a time
period where that would be taken away but that did not move forward. So as it
stands, a grandfathered property would keep their grandfathered status.
Mr. Kemp: Now they can, okay so then that brings up the Conditional Use Permit for the
administrative review, and five years. So now, where does that stand.
Mr. Weiner: That is going to be in this particular 2C, when we vote on this we are going to have
to. Actually it is not in here so we are going to have to add it in on whoever makes
the motion, we will need to add that into this 2C, if we are all on board with that.
We all on board with that?To add that into 2C. And the other,the only other issue
that I was thinking,which is item number eight, where it says, oh, I'm sorry, that is
what Council sent us, we changed it around and kept it as one rental per week.
Correct. And is that still in here one rental per week?
Mr. Kemp: Except in the OR district.
Mr. Weiner: I am talking yes exactly yeah this is the rest of the city and the overlay districts.
That is one rental per week, and on the Conditional Use Permits, after five years
will be administratively reviewed, not denied.
Mr. Wall: So, how does that affect. So these are, these conditions just for the, these
conditions affecting our city or do they affect.
Mr. Tajan: So, these conditions as are drafted will affect the specific overlays. So the one
rental per week is specific and effects then what you would propose is the North
End overlay and the East Shore Drive Overlay. For everyone else is limited by the,
by what they were approved under, if that makes sense. So the grandfathered
ones technically can do, concurrently still do two rentals per 7-day period, that
Conditional Use Permits will be based on whatever their conditions are at the time
of their approval. But moving forward,this is what,this is what everyone that would
get a Conditional Use Permit would be limited to.
3
Mr. Wall: Okay what about Sandbridge.
Mr. Tajan: This does not impact Sandbridge. The only amendments in any of this proposal
that affects Sandbridge are the life safety requirements for the deck inspections,
and the fire extinguishers and other things like that.
Mr. Weiner: How do we make this notion.
Mr. Kemp: Chairman, if you want
Mr. Weiner: You want to make a motion?
Mr. Kemp: No, I cannot make a motion. I can briefly clarify the things that I understand as
varying from what Council referred to you, and just make sure that we are all on
the same page. One rental per week, rather than Council's 52 per year, CUP
administratively approved, that was added on. You wanted to add on that a sign
be posted on the outside of the short-term rental with contact information visible
from the right of way. Parking, a minor change from one garage space to all
available garage spaces, so if you had more than one you could use more than
one towards your parking requirement. Responsible party to be able to be on site
in one hour rather than 30 minutes. And that is what I have for what I varied from
what Council referred to you.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Ms. Klein: The thing that we already voted on, whether or not to have the overlay districts is
that excluded from this new motion because we already voted on it.
Mr. Wall: Yes, what you voted on. Yes, we will have to go through because some of what
you voted on may land in 2C, but we will have to vet that out, such as density
requirements, because as I said 2A was just the boundaries, but those will be
specific.
Ms. Klein: We are voting on the changes for 2C. We already had a vote on a city, the rest of
the city, overlay district. We just like before.
Mr. Wall: Right, you have already voted not to allow short-term rentals in the entire city by
Conditional Use Permit.
Ms. Klein: So, will the next vote exclude that section of 2C.
Mr. Kemp: The next vote, these regulations will only pertain to the overlay districts. It will not
pertain to the rest of the city. In the rest of the city, they will be prohibited.
Ms. Klein: So, if I vote in favor am, I saying that I agree with no STRs and the rest of the city.
Mr. Tajan: No, you are just agreeing with these regulations. If you vote yes, you are agreeing
with these regulations that you are proposing the, the number of parking spaces
no special events, responsible party must respond within 30 minutes and
4
physically be present in one hour. Number of rental contracts, you are agreeing,
you are saying that those are appropriate, those rules.
Ms. Klein: Right, but I do not agree when we get down like to violations, I agree with that one.
I do not agree with the established overlay districts where it says new STRs
prohibited outside of overlay districts.
Mr. Kemp: Right and that is where this worksheet, blended if you have already voted on a few
that are included in there. So really, if you look at the staff report under the
recommendation section that's what you're voting on. In this, with the additions I
made.
Mr. Weiner: I understand where Robin is coming from. Once we vote on this for the overlay
districts, yes that means that these can't happen outside of the overlay districts,
short term rentals.
Ms. Klein: Right, because I agree with all of the rest of them. I do not agree with that one.
And so, I want to make sure that it is clear.
Mr. Weiner: The only way that you could do is say no to the whole thing.
Ms. Klein: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Ms. Klein: That was my question, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, so who remember what we had to make a motion.
Mr. Coston: Before we vote I've got to ask one more thing. Originally when Council sent this to
us there was a provision for short-term rentals within a given distance from city
venues or a main venue, city sportsplex or whatever. It was like within a mile or
something, and then it kind of disappeared. Is that still available or on the table.
Mr. Weiner: It is not on the table in this ordinance.
Mr. Coston: Can't get it in either, huh?
Mr. Weiner: Not right now. Well, I assuming no, because we are voting on this ordinance now
because what is in this ordinance. I mean, we would have to have to come up with
some type of overlay to do that, wouldn't we, to say a mile from a sporting event
or the amphitheater. It would have to be some type of overlay.
Mr. Tajan: It could be a performance criteria, but it is not something that has been discussed
nor advertised. So, maybe if that's something that may be discussed in the future
you may, it may be something you want to bring forward after this.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, I need a motion.
5
Mr. Wall: Can I run through it one more time? Not necessarily because I want to rehash it
but just because I want to make sure that we get it right on the motion. So we are
making a motion to approve 2C with changes. And those changes include, based
on what I am reading here, because I did not necessarily capture it when you were
going through it, but new STRs are prohibited outside of overlay districts, I think
that is covered in here, is that right, or is that, that is not covered.
Mr. Kemp: You have already voted on that with the last vote.
Mr. Wall: Okay, we have already covered that. The parking is definitely part of this which is
the allowed parking that meets, available dimension requirements to count towards
parking inside. Is that part of this, the parking?
Mr. Kemp: Yes, the garage.
Mr. Weiner: Council sent it to us as one parking space in the garage, and we turned it around
to say if there was two places in the garage they could use them.
Mr. Wall: And the same thing about the impervious part.
Mr. Kemp: Yes, the impervious part was a change in language.
Mr. Weiner: Added parking to be impervious.
Mr. Wall: Added parking be impervious, the responsible party must also physically respond
within one hour to complaints as opposed to 30 minutes. But they must be able to
respond to complaints within 30 minutes and then physically respond within one
hour. Okay.
Mr. Weiner: One rental per seven days.
Mr. Wall: One rental per seven days. Okay.
Mr. Tajan: Just to clarify, that is one rental per seven days in the North End and East Shore
Drive overlay, with two rentals per seven day period in the RT3 and 4.
Mr. Weiner: And then big one is the Conditional Use Permit to be administratively reviewed
after five years.
Mr. Wall: Allow administrative approval and review every five years, is how it is.
Mr. Kemp: Correct and then the last thing was the sign with the contact information posted on
the exterior of the home visible from the right of way.
Mr. Wall: Require posting of contact phone number of operator representative visible from
the street, including Sandbridge.
Mr. Weiner: Does it say Sandbridge?
6
Mr. Wall: It does.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, sounds like you are ready to make motion.
Mr. Wall: Okay, I am ready. I make a motion that we approve 2C of the short-term rental
agenda item with noted changes that include, number one required posting of
contact phone number of operator representative visible from the street, including
Sandbridge. That we allow administrative approval and review every five years of
existing Conditional Use Permits. In terms of parking, that we allow all parking that
that is available and meets dimension requirements to count towards parking,
including spaces inside garages. Parking added shall not be impervious.
Responsible party must respond to complaints within 30 minutes, responsible party
must also physically respond within one hour to complaints. Within the RT and
OR zoning districts two rentals for seven day period are allowed. Outside in the
other two overlay districts, one rental per seven day period will be allowed only.
Mr. Weiner: Did that catch everything?
Ms. Sandloop:No special events.
Mr. Kemp: Yes, as I was checking them off.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, think we caught everything. We have a motion by Mr. Wall, do we have a
second.
Mr. Inman: Second.
Mr. Weiner: Second by Mr. Inman.
Mr. Tajan: I am sorry I just want to make sure we capture this, I want to make sure this does
not lost anywhere. It also includes the no special events on the property, the
occupancy calculation, and the RPP permit that you are not allowed to have the
additional parking permits. You are aware of those, I want to make sure for the
record is clear that those are there.
Mr. Weiner: Madam clerk did you catch that, we have a motion by Mr. Wall and a second by
Mr. Inman.
Ms. Sandloop:Yes sir, Okay. I am calling for the vote, the vote is on the agenda item 2C. Mr.
Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Aye.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Barnes is absent. Mr. Coston.

Item #2D
City of Virginia Beach —An Ordinance to amend Sections 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125,
1521 and 2203 of the City Zoning Ordinance and Section 5.2 of the Oceanfront Resort
District Form-Based Code pertaining to the requirements and use of Short Term Rentals
and Overlays
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Chair, we are good to go if you want to begin.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, 2D.
Mr. Kemp: 2D, to summarize what this ordinance amendment does is put into the use tables
in our zoning code, so everywhere that short-term rental use is permitted in the
use table, it will amend the use table to reflect what you have voted for approval
today. So, it will reflect where it is permitted by right in the OR,where it is permitted
by Conditional Use Permit in the overlays and where it is not permitted elsewhere
in the city. These will all be reflected in the use tables and that is what this vote is
for.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, so, we know where we are. I mean that is pretty much lined up with what
we have now, what we have already voted on. Right?
Mr. Kemp: Correct. I guess you could call it somewhat of a housekeeping item the same way
as amending the official zoning map, we have to amend the official zoning
ordinance to reflect these changes and that is what 2D does.
Mr. Weiner: Comments.
Ms. Klein: So, I think this is where I was confusing, you and everyone else before. This is
where I will be voting nay because this use table will say that new STRs are
permitted the rest of the city.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Anyone else. Do we have a motion. We are going to wait for George to get
back.
Mr. Coston: I was getting ready to ask those existing outside of the overlay districts would not
be covered in this chart, right. You all just going to keep track of those in the office.
Mr. Kemp: Correct, yes, the ones that have the additional or have an existing Conditional Use
Permit, we will have a record of that with the Administrative Approval those that
are grandfathered have their grandfathered status.
Mr. Weiner: Alright. We need a motion.
1
Mr. Wall: I make a motion that we approve, agenda item 2D, an ordinance to amend sections
401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125, 1521, and 2203 of the city's zoning ordinance and
section 502 of the oceanfront resort district four base code pertaining to the
requirements and use of the short-term rentals overlays.

Term Rental Conditional Use Permit applications submitted before and after the City
Council date of referral
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: 2E.
Mr. Kemp: This ordinance, as I discussed this morning are the transition rules, saying that
after any application filed prior to the date of the referral to you by City Council
October 21, 2020, subject to whatever rules when it goes through Council. This is
a standard ordinance of how we treat those applications that come in in that flex
time between when we are considering an ordinance change, and when it goes
into effect. Any application that goes through City Council once any new
regulations are passed will be subject to the new regulations.
Mr. Weiner: Pretty simple. We agree with that?
Ms. Klein: I make a motion to for an ordinance establishing transition rules for the review of
short-term rental Conditional Use Permit applications submitted before and after
City Council date of referral.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Ms. Klein, do we have a second.
Ms. Oliver: Second.

Item #2F
City of Virginia Beach —An Ordinance to amend Section 241.2 of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals and Establishing Additional Safety
Requirements
March 10, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Alright, gentlemen hang in there we got one more. Okay, we will be done. 2F,
which I should have said this a while ago, because that was actually in 2C.
Mr. Kemp: 2F in the staff report was included in 2C, because it is its own ordinance after the
staff report went to print, we pulled it from 2C and created 2F. As I said it is its
own ordinance and it warrants being voted on separately. So, 2F will include the
two life safety conditions that were regulations that were listed in 2C originally.
Mr. Weiner: George you have comments on this one.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, I just want to make sure that as far as the deck safety inspection be done
by a licensed design professional or licensed architect or what I am sorry Bobby
gave me another licensed design professionals. And again, I do not want to
include Class A or B contractors. That is all I have.
Mr. Weiner: Is that okay with everybody.
Mr. Tajan: And that they are required every five years, right, that was the consensus of the
Commission.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, everything that you had listed here was fine except for that, as I was kind of
referencing that.
Mr. Inman: So, are we going with licensed professional engineer or architect.
Mr. Alcaraz: Both.
Mr. Tajan: Licensed design professional.
Mr. Inman: Licensed design.
Mr. Tajan: DPOR is very particular.
Mr. Inman: So, is that a term of art with that.
Mr. Tajan: It is a term per DPOR, anyone that that has a seal that has knowledge in that field
is that they are called a design professional.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, Mr. Alcaraz, I think you can make this motion.
1
Mr. Alcaraz: I would like to make a motion that the ordinance to amend section 241.2 of the city
zoning ordinance pertaining to short-term rentals establishing additional safety
requirements with the amendment of licensed design professional.
Mr. Kemp: And every five years.
Mr. Alcaraz: It is on there already, right.
Mr. Kemp: It was referred to you as every year. So, we would need to alter that.
Mr. Alcaraz: Structure report must be submitted every five years to the Zoning Office.
Mr. Kemp: Okay, perfect. Just wanted to make sure it is on record.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Alcaraz. Do we have a second.
Ms. Klein: Second.
Mr. Weiner: Second by Ms. Klein. We are ready to vote.
Ms. Sandloop:Mr. Alcaraz.

March 10, 2021
Mr. Weiner: Right, on to number two.
Ms. Sandloop:Our last agenda item is agenda item number two. City of Virginia Beach, a
resolution to amend the city zoning ordinance pertaining to short-term rentals.
Mr. Weiner: Alright, first speaker.
Mr. Dao: I will begin calling speakers in order of three just a reminder once you make your
comments please make your way back to suite four to listen for the remaining
public hearing. The first speaker is John David followed by Douglas Rudley,
followed by Steven Bishard. Mr. John David you can please come to suite four.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. On the way, guys I will make a point hopefully everybody can hear me that
everybody will get three minutes to speak. We have a lot of speakers so just to
make it fair to everybody and we want to make sure everybody knows they will
have three minutes to speak. Thank you. Welcome, sir, please state your name
for the record.
Mr. David: My name is John David, I am the current president of the North Virginia Beach
Civic League. I like to thank you all for inviting me to speak today. The North
Virginia Beach Civic League and when I say we or I, am speaking for the Civic
League and not for myself. The North Virginia Beach Civic League is charged to
protect the character and the community in the North End. We are there to protect
the tranquility. We firmly believe in short-term rentals as you may have seen in the
news, if you listened to the news and Andy Fox last night, effect that tranquility.
We are very concerned about this and we have some valid points. First off, we do
not want short-term rentals added to the current North End Overlay, the R5R-NE
that is there as you know, for dwellings. We do not want short-term rentals added
to that overlay. We also do not want The Hollies added to an overlay of any type.
1
I am going to briefly discuss and not to take up your time, the points that we would
like, if in fact short-term rentals are going to be in the North End. First off,we would
like short-term rentals to be approved by CUP. That we feel is the only process
which guarantees our neighborhood. We are in neighborhood and we need to
CUP process to guarantee that we are not overrun with short-term rentals. We
would like a rental frequency of one per seven day period. It is one rental per
week, any more than that, you are starting to become a commercial enterprise,
you are ruining our neighbor. We would like a current physical survey for every
CUP application with a detailed site plan showing the parking. The Civic League
President and the member of our Zoning Committee, I am uninitiated with parking
problems for CUPs, I know that staff goes out and reviews CUP applications but I
can show you emails, where we have parking problems from the CUP. I have seen
applications coming forward to this Commission, where it is drawn on a piece of
paper and hand drawn it does not reflect the parking when I have gone out there
and looked at it, it was supposed to be there to support that CUP. We would like
to have additional inspectors funded and hired for the city. Right now,there simply
are not enough inspectors to enforce the program. They do not have short-term
rental ordinances and if you do not have inspectors it is an un-enforceable
program, and again, I have it that. You are going to degrade our quality. Finally,
density is a big issue for us, that was brought up in your workshop and I do not
know that we ever came to a consensus. I have sent numerous emails out to
Planning Department. I have sent emails to the City Attorney asking for
clarification, and I did not have any answers. We believe, if the City Attorney is
correct, that short-term rentals cannot be reduced by more than the current
density. We believe that short-term rental density should be the number of current
legal short-term rentals to the ratio of dwellings in the North End. Illegal short-term
rentals should not be continued, they do not follow the rules, they do not deserve
to be in the process of consideration for that density number. We prefer the density
be done by street. But City Attorney has said that in your workshop that was not
possible and I have reached out twice and not had a reason for that. But, if you
are going to do it by neighborhood we would like it to be no more than the current
density of legal short-term rentals to number of dwellings in the North End. The
R5R-NE zoning, R stands for residential, it does not stand for rental. This is the
neighborhood, this is where my children play in the street, they ride their bikes
here. My wife and I go for walks here, we meet our fellow citizens in the streets in
North End. Bringing the short-term rails turns it into a commercial area. It is not,
it is my neighborhood. This is where we live, you got to think about that when you
think about turning short-term rentals loose into established neighborhoods of
caring citizens, putting individuals in that neighborhood who do not care about me,
do not care about my kids, and do not care about my family and my neighbors.
Thank you for your consideration.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any questions? Thank you.
2
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Douglas Rudley, followed by Steven Bishard, followed by Dr.
Carl Ashman.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Tajan,just a quick question. R5-S residential 5000 single family, R5D duplex,
R5R means.
Mr. Kemp: R5R permits single family duplex dwellings. And, in the North End Overlay it does
permit two single family homes on one lot. The size standards are 5000 square
feet for a single family home, 10,000 for a duplex or two single family homes.
However, if a lot was legally created and is nonconforming, it still holds the full
development potential.
Mr. Alcaraz: What I was asking is R mean resort. R5R means resort.
Mr. Tajan: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Mr. Tajan: Yes, it is.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Welcome, sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Rudley: My name is Doug Rudley. I am a homeowner in the North End and I have listened
in all the meetings in the workshops that the Planning Commission has held, so, I
appreciate the time and attention you guys have given to this matter. And, I will
be brief. My wife and I moved to Virginia Beach three years ago to retire and fell
in love with the North End. We purchased a home on the East Side of Atlantic
Avenue, and are full-time residents, year around residents as our most of our
neighbors. We were drawn to the North End,well because it is a real neighborhood
because we can go out on the feeder road and walk our dog and see our neighbors
jogging or walking or riding their bikes or we can go on the beach and see our
neighbors, and we can do that year around unlike many beachfront communities,
it is not merely a seasonal community and we love the fact that we see our
neighbors year around and we enjoy a sense of neighborhood year around. As
you know it is primarily a residential community of homeowners. It has a relatively
high-density and many attached homes, given the fact that it is close to the ocean,
land is at a premium, Given that it is a neighborhood of single family homes of
owner occupied homes that density is tight. My wife and I really do not understand
why STRs are being even allowed in our neighborhood when the city proposes to
ban them in most of the city. I guess I would ask as a homeowner, I would ask the
Members of the Commission and the Members of the City Council for that matter,
how would you feel about it, if next to your own home assuming you are
homeowners that someone proposed to operate a weekly rental business for three
months during the summertime every summer. I don't think that you would think
that that enhances the quality of the desirability of your neighborhood or your own
3
quality of life. Common sense says that it does not. This really has the potential
to do great harm to our neighborhood. So, I guess I would echo the sentiments of
Mr. David who spoke before me, that if you must allow this, which I hope that you
do not, but if you must please keep the density to an absolute minimum. Because
this really does have the ability to do substantial harm to what is really a charming
and cherished residential community. Thank you very much.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any questions. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Steven Bishard, followed by Dr. Carson Ashman, followed
Morgan Brooke-Devlin.
Mr. Dao: Mr. Chairman, it looks like Mr. Steven Bishard signed up to speak virtually. So, we
are going to circle back to him. The next speaker is Dr. Carson Ashman, followed
by Morgan Brooke-Devlin, followed by Polly Street.
Mr. Weiner: Dao, are they allowed to line up in the hallway.
Mr. Dao: Yes, sir.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Welcome, please state your name for the record.
Ms. Ashman: I am Carol Ashman. I own 207 and 209E 88th Street and live at the latter. I am
here to request the resort designation of the North End be repealed. And, second,
to oppose the city's attempt to rezone the North End by creating the North End
Overlay,which would extend the oceanfront resort area north through 89th Streets,
devastating our greater than 100-year-old residential neighborhood. The overlay
would allow the city to create regulations,tax revenue, and land use decisions that
favor the hospitality industry over residents. It would allow any property owner to
operate a short-term rental by right without having to seek a Conditional Use
Permit as is required now. Year around resident's peaceful enjoyment of their
properties would end. And property values decrease due to greater density and
more short-term tourist rental activity with its unending problems, including
increased noise,traffic, garbage, crime, and the destruction of the community from
the constant influx of tourists in the summer and the creation of a ghost town in the
winter. We bought our home in this neighborhood precisely because it was in a
quiet residential neighborhood. This neighborhood cannot be rezoned now to
permit commercial enterprise without the citizens voting on this matter, talk about
undemocratic. I also oppose the overlay because it would allow a greater number
of homes per unit of land, for example, two large homes could be squeezed onto
7500 square foot lot increasing density and creating more concrete, pavement,
and buildings on the same amount of land, ripping out yards and trees in the
process, the very things that make this area beautiful and livable. Green space
and trees are vitally important to help reduce the sweltering heat in the summer.
We also need to preserve some un-built land rather than building on every square
inch. This is crucial to helping absorb stormwater and prevent or reduce flooding.
4
I oppose the cookie cutter models to which the new homes must conform because
they are utterly devoid of character, and we make our 100-year-old neighborhood
look like a condominium complex. I urge everyone here to email Governor
Northam and ask him to veto Senate Bill 1298, which would allow the city to use
taxpayer money to manage or buy properties in the North End to create a highly
desirable home inventory to rent out as short-term rentals that will generate real
estate profit and taxes for the city at our expense. Senate Bill 1298, could serve
as an intermediary step toward creation of a Tourism Authority. If the North End
Overlay becomes official by City Council vote, it would be governed by that
authority, converting our over 100-year-old residential neighborhood into a money
making commercial real estate enterprise that benefits the city to our detriment.
Surprisingly, none of this has been voted on through a referendum.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments.
Ms. Ashman: Please voice your opposition to the City Council.
Mr. Weiner: We have a question for you.
Ms. Ashman: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Ma'am. Would you repeat the last two sentences that you just read.
Ms. Ashman: Sure. Surprisingly, none of this has been voted on through a referendum. Please
voice your opposition to the City Council.
Ms. Oliver: Go further back about the tourist overlay.
Ms. Ashman: Yeah, if the North End Overlay becomes official by City Council vote, it would be
governed by that authority converting our 100-year-old residential neighborhood
into a money making commercial real estate enterprise that benefits the city to our
detriment.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. Ashman: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Morgan Brooke-Devlin, followed by Polly Street, followed by Gail
Mottola.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome ma'am, please say your name for the record.
Ms. Devlin: My name is Morgan Brooke-Devlin. I reside on 88th Street in Virginia Beach. First
of all, I want you all to know that we have been told that there has not been much
reaction to the proposed overlay in the North End. This is absolutely not true, the
5
problem is, most people do not know what is being proposed and certainly do not
understand the ramifications. I have reviewed carefully the amendment to the
zoning ordinance that was entered in 2015, and what it proposed. One of the main
things I noticed in this is that you all are to be guided by public necessity,
convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practices. We do not believe that
this has been done. First of all, we do not want this proposed 2015 Zoning
Ordinance Overlay to be continued and we certainly do not want it to be made
permanent. As you all know, we believe that this is a violation of the Dillon rule
and that is a very serious thing here. We do not believe the citizens have been
consulted in this, we certainly do not believe that people on the North End are
aware of what is being done and we are angry. We are very upset and we are
angry. We live in a very, very tight community, our neighbors are close to us, we
are responsible to each other. Each of the houses on my street only have two
parking spaces, no one parks in someone else's parking space, unless there is an
emergency or unless you ask in advance. We pull each other's garbage cans in if
someone's out. We look out for each other. Across the street for me, you have
allowed to be put four new houses where two small houses used to be. Each has
five bedrooms, 20 bedrooms in those houses are technically available under what
you are proposing for short-term rental. Where are those cars going to park.
Where is that garbage going to go. I have reviewed what has been proposed
regarding what will happen if there is a problem. A landlord has to be called and
available in 20 minutes. There is nothing that says what happens if the landlord is
not there or if the landlord does not remedy the situation. There is nothing there
about to take off the short-term rental authority, because it is by right. We do not
want this, and we are looking to all of you to stop this. We should not be sacrificed
in the North End for additional revenue for Virginia Beach. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am. Any questions.
Ms. Devlin: One other thing, we have got numerous, numerous petitions like this, signed up
and down our street, we do not want this.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Ms. Devlin: You are welcome.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Polly Street followed by Gail Mottola, followed by Leslie
Richards.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome. Please state your name for the record.
Ms. Street: My name is Polly Street, and I live in the old beach cottage, at the end of 88th
Street on the land side. This house was built in 1946 and is presently still largely
in the same condition as the day it was built, having been lovingly maintained by
numerous owners, including myself. My remarks today will be about the
neighborhood that I live in called the North End in Virginia Beach. I will give you
6
my personal opinion on things that I am in support of that I believe will maintain the
neighborhood that I live in, and things that I vehemently oppose those being the
things that I believe will threaten and measurably change my neighborhood. First
of all, I love the beach and I believe that it should remain a public beach for all to
enjoy, including people from Virginia Beach from Norfolk, and for wherever else
they come from. I really like that part of it. I love the natural and historical
environment of my immediate neighborhood including the maritime forest at the
end of the street. The house is even older than mine, and the canopy of huge live
oaks that covers the street. What do I oppose I am opposed to the changes to the
short-term rental ordinance that would allow for operation of short-term rentals,
without needing a Conditional Use Permit. It is not lost on me that the last 45
minutes was spent approving and disapproving and reviewing those Conditional
Use Permits that would go away with short-term rental by right. I am aware of
some recent major safety issues that occurred at short-term rentals on other North
End streets, think about it, those problems that exist with the Conditional Use
Permit process in place, imagine what it would be like if there were no Conditional
Use Permits required. I oppose the proposed designation of the area of 49th Street
to 89th Street becoming an official overlay. I oppose the move to rezone the area
and designate it as a residential resort district. I demand the word resort be
removed from the description of the North End residential neighborhood, and the
previous zoning of R5R be restored. I strongly oppose recently proposed state
legislations SB1298 that would allow for tourism and improvement districts to be
created, this would be an unelected board appointed by the City Council not
directly accountable to voters. Taxpayer money could be used to buy or build
properties or rent out a short-term rentals that would generate real estate profit
and taxes for the city at the expense of homeowners like myself in the North End
neighborhood. We cannot have a neighborhood if the properties are owned by
developers and real estate companies who rent the home it says short-term
rentals.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments ma'am. Any questions. Thank you, ma'am. Next
speaker.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Gail Mottola, followed by Leslie Richards, followed by Erica
Atkins.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, please state your name for the record.
Ms. Mottola: Good afternoon. I am Gail Mottola I live at one 115 88th Street. While they are
passing those around the first item is the where a person can go online to Virginia
Beach.com to find out a property search. When we do that in the North End, what
we see is unofficial zoning district. R5R (M) it is incomplete. It is not finished. It
is not an official overlay, but it looks like it when you read the Ordinance 3431 of
2015, for a long time, we were not paying attention. That is our fault as citizens.
But what we have found is that that North End Overlay is a fabrication, it is
7
nonexistent. It is a paper that essentially is going to put us under regulations, by
the City that we have never been before. We are used to one-week rentals, in our
area, but not what is happening now. The North End is treaty land goes back to
1607. Treaty land is private land. The land described is the Cape Henry Syndicate
Treaty Land Private Land of the early 1900s. The State of Virginia is a federal
territory and unfortunately, when one goes to the Dunn and Bradstreet we find and
is all over our website we are a municipal corporation. The corporation is not the
same as government. The Tourism Bill HS-243, would have placed all of our
properties that date back to Cape Henry Syndicate of 1898, and Virginia Beach
Parks and Land Company of 1890, both private land corporations, under an
unelected City Council appointed board tax exempt, property tax funded
organizations.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am thank you for your comments, appreciate that. Does anyone have any
questions. Thank you, ma'am.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Leslie Richards, followed by Erica Atkins, followed by Lee
Atkins.
Mr. Dao: It looks like Ms. Leslie Richards is a virtual speaker, so, we are going to move on
to Erica Atkins, followed by Lee Atkins, followed by Brent Montello.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, please state your name for the record.
M. Atkins: Hi, my name is Erica Atkins. I am a citizen of Virginia Beach, a short-term rental
owner and member of the Virginia Beach Short-Term Rental Alliance. I am
speaking today in approval of short-term rentals for Virginia Beach. I am
advocating for a fair and sustainable compromise of regulations for both owners of
short-term rentals and members of the community. After researching other short-
term rental communities around the country, we have found balanced policies that
we could use as a model for Virginia Beach to follow. I believe we need an advisory
board or committee that meets every other month to provide guidance and
recommendations on administration, enforcement, and other policies pertaining to
short-term rental permitting. Members should consist of short-term rental hosts,
non-hosts, industry stakeholders, and Virginia Beach elected officials. I think
overlays should be by right. I think the OR and RT zoned properties should be in
an overlay, and operate by right as they were zoned to do. Remove the other
overlays instead of imposing regulations that call for cumbersome enforcement.
For properties outside of an overlay choosing to operate as a short-term rental, we
should implement a simplified registration process, more of a streamlined checklist
to be submitted to the Planning Department for inspection before the owner is
allowed to operate a short-term rental. To ensure the city is not oversaturated with
short-term rental properties, use a density cap that cannot exceed 1% of the total
number of housing units within Virginia Beach. Once all requirements are met,
submit the information to Planning, register with the Commissioner and at that
point, the owner may start operating. As far as violations, use the three strike rule.
8
After three valid complaints, the Planning Department could recommend removal
of a short-term rental registration and its ability to operate. Property owners should
have the right to rent their property how they choose. If they choose to operate a
short-term rental, the owner should be allowed to operate on an innocent until
proven guilty principle. We need a collaborative solution for our community that is
not only manageable, but enforceable. One that allows for a higher rates of
compliance and alleviates the cumbersome CUP process that is draining city
resources and time. Let us find a solution that works for everyone. Thank you for
your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am. Any questions. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Lee Atkins, followed by Brent Montello, followed by Dana
Sampson.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, please state your name for the record.
Mr. Atkins: Lee Atkins, I would like to start by thanking you guys for the last six months of
taking my emails and phone calls and so it has been a pleasure of speaking with
each of you. Good afternoon, my name is Lee Atkins I am a citizen of Virginia
Beach, and a short-term rental owner. I would like to say that short-term rentals
have been going on for decades in Virginia Beach. I would also like to speak in
approval of the short-term rentals at this point, Virginia Beach has always been
looking to drive towards revenue. This proposal will do the exact opposite. Believe
it or not, I would say the majority of people especially now with the pandemic would
rather stay in a short-term than a hotel. For some reason short-term rentals are
being bashed repeatedly on how terrible they are, so, terrible that in over 88,000
calls made to 311, in 2020, only 14 of those nuisances pertain to short-term rentals.
Property rentals have been all over Virginia Beach, hotels, do not get shut down
after a guest checking in, is behaving badly during their stay. As with any kind of
rental, short or long-term, you can have a really great tenant or you can have a
really bad tenant. The difference is bad tenants in short-term rentals are only there
for a few days, maybe a week and then they go home. A bad long term tenant is
there for the entirety of their lease. If there are valid complaints, punish those that
are not properly managed, not all of us. I have also heard conversations of how
STR negatively affect property values that is totally false. A realtor friend of mine
that specializes in selling properties along the oceanfront resort area confidently
said, the ability to rent properties as an STR versus not being able to rent them as
an STR absolutely affects the property values. Properties allowed to rent as a STR
would definitely have higher value than those not to be allowed. Creating overlays
negatively affects the value of one person's property. While positively affecting the
value of another person's property at the same time. When properties sell at higher
prices to short-term rentals properties like short-term rental properties do, it can
and will boost the value of the entirety neighborhood. On the other hand, if you
restrict how these properties can be used in certain neighborhoods like Croatan
9
for example, you absolutely see the neighborhood values decline in his
professional opinion. Many homes in Croatan along the oceanfront have sold to
investors and second homes, who intend to use them as STR properties when
they are not being occupied by them themselves. Croatan was always one of the
most desirable and highest rented areas out of all the STR properties that this
gentleman managed. If you cut off certain property owners ability to do that.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments sir, I appreciated that. Any questions. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Brent Montello,followed by Dana Sampson,followed by Jason
Sampson.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Montello: Good afternoon. I am Brent Montello. I am a local realtor also, so, I really
appreciate the things that the last two people said, very positive things about
Airbnb. We have been operating since 2017, as an Airbnb at the oceanfront, the
beach bureau, earlier caller you have from California, where he is trying to explain
his driveway, basically we are on the same street. We have registered with the
city, we pay the taxes, it is been almost four years. They have talked about
driveways over everything at our home, it sets up to all the minimum requirements
that we have seen so far. I believe the overlay seems to be an issue I have seen
a couple difference I do not know where we are exactly. I wanted to come here
today to support Airbnb. I have travelled all around the country, staying in Airbnbs
from California, Texas, North Carolina. Owners, always, always rehab these
properties to another level. I had to rent this home rented since 2003,for 12 years.
When we turn it to an Airbnb, we had it, we took it up another level, because of the
type of people that are actually wanting to rent it, because it is mostly families, not
parties, but mostly families. I have had more problems with the tenants next door
that are on a yearly lease parking in the front yards in the grass, and that is for an
entire year that we have had to deal with. So, as far as my support for Airbnb, one
I would like to know if people will be grandfathered that have been actually doing
this for four years or have had it permanent rental on a yearly lease for the last 17
years, which we have, and that the overlays would change if we are not in that
section. So,just to conclude, I believe that the owner personal ownership that the
owners take as an Airbnb, because they treat it as a bed and breakfast is going to
end up being a lot better than even the yearly lease owners that are renting it
usually at a lower price. So,we are getting better tenants, better guests with short-
term rentals, then you are in the yearly lease, permanent tenants that are coming
in, and they take better care of the properties during that time, I appreciate your
time. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir, any questions. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Dana Sampson, followed by Jason Sampson, followed by Marjorie Chapman.

Mr. Weiner: Welcome. Please say your name for the record.
Ms. Sampson:Dana Sampson. Good afternoon. I am a member of the Virginia Beach short-term
rental Alliance. My husband and I are a middle class family that supplements our
income with short-term rentals. I do not see the new proposals regarding short-
term rentals as much of a compromise, tourism is our main industry paid for, by all
Virginia Beach tax dollars and it seems like the latest proposals are not for the
interest of us. Virginia Beach as a whole but mainly for affluent homeowners in the
hotel industry. The new regulations essentially shutter our small middle class STR
business in the strongest area of opportunity in Virginia Beach. This is all being
proposed during a very tough time for small businesses. Short-term rentals are a
needed accommodation option for those who cannot stay in hotels and are the
only true social distancing lodging options, especially for those with existing health
issues. We are told that the proposed changes have been brought up because
short-term rentals are disruptive to neighborhoods. All the short-term rental hosts
that I know including myself rent mainly to families and have a new party's
description and requirement in our listing. If disregarded, which we have never
had happen, the guests would need to immediately vacate the property, and lose
all the monies they paid for their stay. We have never had a single complaint or
issue and our grandfathered STR has been running now for four years. We bought
our short-term rental properties with intentions on bringing families to Virginia
Beach to experience our City, spend money at our local restaurants, shop, and
have fun. We made sure to go to the sessions and council meetings as the
ordinance was being put together. We were in agreement with the original
ordinance and the sense of fairness brought forth with the original conditions. We
are now confused that all the work is being threatened by unnecessary changes
for reasons were unclear about, as they previously pointed out,we have never had
an issue and we do not know any other local host that has. If there are real
concerns this proposal does not seem to address them. I am sure that any
homeowner would be happy to work within reasonable short-term rental rules that
actually address the problems, leaving the ordinance as is. Making it illegal to rent
our property or set extremely strict restrictions does not seem to be any sort of
compromise. Property ownership is one of the few resources that many of us can
leverage to work hard and make a better life for ourselves. In addition, many of us
feel that this is an infringement on our rights as property owners. I would
understand if there were restrictions in the property covenants, by laws, HOA,
condo rules when purchased but when there is not this seems to be an extreme
overreach. We understand that the CUP process is a burden to the city, but rather
than eliminating it, instituting overlays and banning the opportunity for a future host
to apply for the CUP outside of the proposed overlays,we ask that the city consider
making the process easier and more efficient. We would just ask that you please
do not make our small business illegal. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, any questions. Thank you, next speaker.
11
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Jason Sampson, followed by Marjorie Chapman, followed by Kim
Davenport.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, please state your name for the record.
Mr. Sampson: Sure. My name is Jason Sampson. Good afternoon by the way, I live in Virginia
Beach and I am a member of the short-term rental Alliance. I am a 38-year resident
and real estate investor that owns a multitude of property types which include a
handful of short-term rentals in Virginia Beach, and I am in favor of short-term
rentals throughout the city. I am here to voice my discontent how City Planning
and Council have been aggressively,without cause,trying to change the ordinance
for short-term rentals approved in past several years ago. , I can say that any
person I have spoken to that also does short-term rentals is more concerned with
having the approval and support of their neighbors, as well as maintaining better
care of our properties than most of the surrounding neighbors. Remember, our
goal is to bring people to Virginia Beach and give them an experience that makes
them return. So you heard me, I want to say this again, the reason why we do this
is to bring people to Virginia Beach, and to have them come back. It upsets me
that both Planning and Council continually talk about the alleged complaints from
other citizens but will not and cannot provide proof. I understand that the hotels
do not like STRs and have someone lobbying on their behalf because STRs are a
threat to their business. As I have owned several businesses throughout the years,
it is known that when your business model changes, you have to learn to adapt,
rather than lobbyists trying to limit STRs, they should advise your clients to adapt
to short-term rentals, have been here as long as they have and to further
understand technology like Airbnb has threatened their business model. Sorry
guys it is obvious by looking at the numbers that people want to travel and feel
local versus being trapped in a small hotel. Furthermore, the fact that a City
Planning Member reached out to an abundance of short-term rental owners,
including myself and threatened us over an emailed petition, some of who were
not part of it, is uncalled for and proof that changes need to happen at our city
level. Additionally, City Planning should not be strong arming CUP applicants into
agreeing to ordinances not approved by City Council in order to get CUPs
approved. It is clear by attending these meetings over the last year that Planning
and Council have as they are making up ordinances, bully their constituents in a
direction has a prominent influencers best interests in mind. One final point, be
very leery of what you are trying to accomplish as you are infringing on the property
rights of all citizens of Virginia Beach with everything you are trying to push here
today. I am a longtime real estate investor and prefer my money to stay local, but
the behavior, actions, and uncertain path Virginia Beach is portraying has me
taking my investments to other cities, and I know I am not alone. I volunteer myself
in front of you. If desired, as a person to give feedback and opinions in an
influential and positive win, win direction so that it fits the desired outcome and
objective of not only Planning, Council but the citizens and owners of property in
the City of Virginia Beach. Thank you.

Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Marjorie Chapman, followed by Kim Davenport, followed by
Kendall Maynard.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome. Please state your name for the record.
Ms. Chapman:Marjorie Chapman and I am a property manager with Berkshire Hathaway Property
Management, and I have been managing Vacation Rentals in Virginia Beach for
30 years and I currently have an inventory of 20 vacation rentals. And, our success
with assisting our guests shows year after year what the percentage of returning
guests and no negative reports ever reported to the city. Short-term rentals were
never considered a major problem until just recently when it seems that a lot of
individual homeowners have decided to become landlords. We want to help you
figure out a solution to this problem and not be considered the problem. Some
suggestions, lots of professional property managers handle the STRs. We know
the rules, we follow them. Our history is proof of this, eliminate the resource
consuming CUP process and implement a simple registration process with the
Planning Department that includes the safety inspection. A previous speaker
mentioned have the three strike rule with three verified complaints, the Planning
Department could recommend the removal of STRs and the ability to operate.
Allow STR by right in oceanfront resort overlay in RT zone with no density CAPs
and remove the overlays in the North End, East Shore Drive and determine a
density CAP percentage of the total housing units with concrete facts, excluding
the grandfathered STRs. For all STR registration holders perhaps set the following
rules, no annual zoning permit fee required, this can be self-funded with the STR
tax revenue. Allow 52 contracts per year with two contracts per week throughout
the year. One parking space for the first two bedrooms, one space for each
additional bedroom. We all know how hard it is to accommodate what you have
now, especially when they are oceanfront condos. Occupancy limit, keep it at
three per bedroom, having an age limit would be difficult to monitor for us.
Respond to a complaint verbally within 30 minutes and be onsite within two hours
of notification if needed. Balcony and deck inspections every five years for a
second level decks or higher. And of course continuing to allow the grandfather
properties to rent indefinitely providing a follow the guidelines. Thank you for your
time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am. Any questions. Next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Kim Devonport, followed by Kendall Maynard, followed by Paige
Mijares.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Davenport: My name is Kim Davenport. I own a small duplex in the North Beach area, which
I bought with the intention of renting it as a short-term rental. I bought it in 2019,
13
and in hindsight, my timing on buying the property was not very good because I
was not aware of all the regulations and unsettled requirements and the issues
that are going about at this time. When I bought the property, I bought it as a short-
term rental, and I spent the year updating it and furnishing it and it needed a lot of
work. Like everyone else who has spoken before the Commission, my wife and I
were very enchanted with the area, appreciate its history and its beauty and
wanted to share it with others. We want to ultimately live in the area, but this was
a means for us to financially pay for the property and ultimately become permanent
residents. So, I think we can all agree that everybody who speaks here
appreciates the area, wants to maintain the integrity of it and the beauty of it. It is
a very special place. I was late in applying for the Conditional Use Permit, because
I was not as aware of it as I should have been which was my fault. I signed up,
and paid business taxes,which I thought was all requirements that were necessary
to do a short-term rental. When I found out I started to do the application process
and of course it is difficult to keep up with all the changing conditions. There was
delays caused by the COVID virus and the administration of getting things done,
understanding the process. I had further delays by having to work on the surveying
of the property. It was an old property, the parking wasn't where it should have
been so I had to have it surveyed and finally got that settled. So, I am at the point
now where I am applying, I've got a hearing next month before this Commission to
go over the process and then hopefully the following month go to the Council for a
vote. At the last meeting, there was discussion of limitations of properties applying
and there was discussion that permits would only be issued to those properties
who are currently existing as short-term rentals legally. And, I'd just like to say I
think it would be very unfair to pull the rug out from people like myself who were in
the process, earnestly trying to comply with the law and go through the process
and get the Conditional Use Permit to legally be able.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments sir. I appreciate that. Any questions. Thank you,
sir.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Kendall Maynard, followed by Paige Mijares, followed by Brendan
Beaver.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, ma'am.
Ms. Maynard: Good afternoon, my name is Kendall Maynard. Dear Chairman, Planning
Commissioner members, thank you to those who have responded to some of our
emails, and thank you for your time and service to our great City of Virginia Beach.
I have managed trust in property in different states for over 35 years. I am a
member of the same Virginia Beach Short-Term Rental Alliance, we are working
hard together to help with some of these issues. Today I would like to touch on
what these overreaching proposed ordinance amendments may mean to our
military families and contractors. As a former military wife I see that by banning
STRs in all of Virginia Beach except these overlays that are proposed, in the OR
14
and RT areas you are cutting off military families options who may need to STR
for a short period of time if they get deployed and one, cannot long term rent or
two, cannot sell their homes in time,they have taken orders and they have to leave,
or three do not want to sell since they will be hopefully returning to our great city.
We serve a greater area and community and I want you to think about that. I have
personally hosted both military personnel and contractors in my home under short-
term rental status, I am grandfathered in. Virginia Beach has a long and proud
relationship with the military and I want us to keep it. Not only is Virginia Beach
home to several military facilities and the Department of Defense, actually I have
found out spends $14.8 billion annually in the region. Let that sink in for a second,
we have to help our military families as well, and let them do short-term rentals.
Naval Station Norfolk is the world's largest Naval Station, which I am sure you
already know. I looked up the population for the military in this area,we are ranked
11th in the state with 9% population that are military or over 421,000 people. So,
I request that you look before you leap, this proposal is overreach of government
and putting the cart before the horse way before even the simplest things are
implemented like the weekend personnel to take calls for disruptions in
neighborhoods that we are being blamed for all the time, and or the current
ordinances or even being enforced. The actual numbers do not support a ban on
all Virginia Beach outside of their proposed overlays of the OR and RT areas. This
will hurt our tourism and economy when we need to grow the economy, I thought
we are here to help grow after this horrible pandemic. And, this will also hurt our
fine military families and contractors. We want everyone to have options and not
be stripped of these options by this proposal, which will affect all of Virginia Beach
for forever. Do not go through with it, STRs represent income,tourism, options for
military families and contractors, and charm for the families and vacationers, as
we have probably all agreed on both sides no overlays.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments, ma'am. Any questions.
Ms. Maynard: Thank you. I really appreciate your time. Have a good afternoon.
Mr. Weiner: Next speaker please.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Paige Mijares, followed by Brendan Beavers followed by Joanne
Fox.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Mijares: Good afternoon Commissioners, my name is Paige Mijares I am the principal
broker of Atkinson Realty. And, in the 80 years my brokerage has operated in the
North End and we have never seen the problems we hear from some that Airbnb
produces. The rogue parties, unsightly trash, shootings, which is a quite low bar to
say that we have not had these problems. But why have not we, because we are
professionals, we know what we are doing. We respect and preserve our
neighborhoods, we have been following the city rules for decades, and the rules
15
of decent decorum. Look Airbnb is a market disrupter, it is not going away. It
sparked the entrepreneurial spirit and homeowners but more importantly it is
changed the way people think about travel. So use us as part of the solution. The
city requires people who have sprinkler systems hooked up to the city water supply
to produce backflow prevention tests on an annual basis. The city provides a list
of contractors to their citizens here you need a professional. Here is a list of them
how much more important is it to have professionals involved in this endeavor.
Create incentives for proper management, such as waiving the CUP requirement
for people who are registered with Virginia Beach deep or licensed brokerages,
that will end 95% of your problems. This new proposal is clumsy, it will only hurt
the good actors. These maps, yes, they will diminish your docket, but they are
completely arbitrary. Neighborhoods cut up by Council Districts, in that respect I
agree with Aaron Rouse on that point, that neighborhoods that have a history in
this space should have a path forward. All of them should share equally or
eliminate the overlays completely. There is a lot of other tinkering in this proposal
and others folks speaking today will give you good suggestions that you should
seriously consider, but if you are going to redo the ordinance, you should provide
a comprehensive solution, something the public can trust and that will last. Include
things like fixing the parking in the high rise condos, this firm sunset provision for
current CUP holders whether there are problems or not is disturbing. And now you
want to talk about density measures which could be a viable conversation but they
need to be grounded in facts, such as the North End is made up of 44% second
homes, 44% of the homes in the North End are not owner occupied, that is a
significant fact. A few months ago the Planning Department sent postcards out as
a notice to all of the proposed overlay districts, to inform them of their proposed by
right use for short-term rentals, effectively lobbying a lot of the anti-property rights
folks to a fever. So, if you change this proposal, new postcards need to go out and
where are the postcards to the rest of the city letting them know that their rights
are being eliminated. Where is that notice. For those of you who would like to
shut down vacation rentals, I would encourage you to proceed with caution on what
you're willing to hand over to your government, they will gladly take it. Property
rights are at the foundation of our democracy.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions, please.
Ms. Oliver: Paige, I have got a question to you about. I wrote it down in all this scribble, 44%
of the homes in the North End are not owner occupied, where is that number from.
Ms. Mijares: Access to the tax records.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. And are they rentals or are they just second homes.
Ms. Mijares: About 20% of those are short-term rentals,
Ms. Oliver: Short-term rentals, old short-term rentals.
16
Ms. Mijares: Actually, I do not know, I would say that probably maybe half of those are
grandfathered but I do not know, most of mine are grandfathered but I have access
to see a lot of what this city can see as far as that goes.
Ms. Oliver: So there is a difference between what the city can see and then what you are able
to say is that correct.
Ms. Mijares: I have a program that where I can see where the Airbnb is and Vrbos are operating,
which is important to me and my business. I am sure we have the same
information actually, I do not think we have different ways.
Ms. Oliver: Can you say just for your company how many short-term rentals that you operate,
let us just take this because Virginia Beach is huge and so is Sandbridge so let us
just take the North End Overlay for instance.
Ms. Mijares: We probably operate 50 grandfathered properties and obviously we do not
manage them unless, if they have to get CUP we do not take them in our portfolio
until that process is complete. So, we have a handful of CUPs but most of ours
are grandfathered.
Ms. Oliver: Grandfathered they have been there for a long time.
Ms. Mijares: 50 out of 60, out of our whole portfolio.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Ms. Mijares: But, we only operate along the coast.
Ms. Oliver: Right, but I am just specifically sort of laser beamed right into the North End. Does
that include, I just want to make sure we are cleared on the North End and not
including The Hollies or Cavalier Shore.
Ms. Mijares: That is correct. Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Great, thanks
Ms. Mijares: Yeah, you are welcome. Anything else?
Mr. Weiner: Do we have any questions. Thank you.
Ms. Mijares: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Brandon Beavers, followed by Seth Lindale, followed by Lynn
Simon.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. Please state your name for the record.
17
Mr. Beavers: Good afternoon everyone. I have been running an Airbnb. Brandon Beavers here.
I have been doing a Vrbo since 2015, in 16th Street. We are very engaged with
our with our tenants, our short-term rental occupants, everybody I have to talk to
before they rent my home. I am on the phone with them. I am interacting, I am
finding out who are you, are you coming to my house or is this a 17-year-old kid
wanting to have a you know a high school party when school's out. So we have
vetted everybody who comes through our place we have never had any
complaints. My house was a foreclosed home when I bought it in early 15, and I
can guarantee you if you drive by it looks nothing like it did when I bought it. I
would say the horror stories that you hear about short-term rentals would be the
exception not the rule. I would say out of the 150 almost members of the Short-
Term Alliance the shirts that we are wearing, we are all like me. We are engaged
on our rentals. I am right down the street if there is a problem I am going to be
there. I have got a doorbell camera I can see what's going on, decibel readers in
the home. You know I think adding more regulation on to what we already have on
the books is the wrong way to go. I feel like we are kind of changing the rules of
the game midway through the game. I mean how does that work right? I mean take
away these CUPs for folks that have gone through the process, I do not think that
is fair. I am grandfathered in, I do not have a dog in this fight other than to say I
have been doing it a long time and I know the folks that are operating now and
have gone through these CUP rules, they should not be negatively affected in my
opinion. Some of the notes I wrote down, enforce the rules that are on the books
I mean, most recently our buddy you know that was on the news last night. If there
was a raging party going on whether it was owner occupied or short-term rental
why where not there the Police there to shut this thing down. I think we should
enforce the rules,whether it is a short-term rental or my home that I live in full time.
If I am being loud and got cars parked all over the driveway, then then enforce the
rules that are on the books. I think short-term rentals are someone said earlier,
laser focused right we are honing in on the short-term rentals. But what I am doing
is not a detriment to the neighborhood I would think that I brought up my, my home
from what it was in 2015. I think, short-term rentals should be by right. I am pretty
sure the Constitution says that my home is my castle and I can do with it as such,
you know, and I would like the Commission to consider that. You know I am all for
certain regulations and making sure that folks are not abusing the system but I
would like to think that most of short-term operators like myself are doing the right
thing and making sure that we are good stewards to the neighborhood, and to the
City of Virginia Beach. Come, people come to our town because of that oceanfront
and I want to share my home that I have lived my entire life with folks that do not
get to see it every day, the way that I do. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir. Any questions. Thank you, next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Seth Bloomingdale,followed by Lynn Simons, followed by Kristina
Chastain. Seth is not here in person, so,we will move on to Lynn Simons,followed
by Kristina Chastain, and followed by Todd Solomon.

Mr. Weiner: Welcome, ma'am. Please say your name for the record.
Ms. Simons: Good day I am Lynn Simons. Hello, everybody. Thank you for your time. I am
Lynn Simons I reside here in Virginia Beach, I am an owner on Baltic Avenue of
one of the newer units, so I am actually an owner and I reside in the home. One
of the things that just disturbs me about this whole thing is that there is so much
blame being placed on the short-term rentals for the high crime disruptions etc. It
is just unfair and unjust. The number of calls that the number of calls against have
come out to the City for any disturbances and things, are really not excessive and
have not put any type of strain on our city resources. The numbers are probably
really minimal so we need to take a look at that, but instead the short-term rentals
are really bringing in opportunities for small businesses, for women and minority
owned businesses, people who have cleaning companies or landscapers the
handyman, all of those things are all those companies are being utilized, also for
large businesses even. So when you start looking at the contracts that the Airbnbs
do use to help such as for companies like to maids and a mop is one that I have
used before for quarterly or yearly linens and cleaning services. So we are putting
in as well even appliance companies, furniture stores all those types of things are
now seeing benefits from having Airbnbs. Another thing is that in terms of positive,
is that we do have additional revenue and income coming into the city, once again
for the small and large businesses. I am in the Vibe District, so many of the small
businesses there are thriving because we have a lot of Airbnb owners, I mean,
Airbnb renters coming in and are going to the restaurants, the shops, to the
museums all those types of things. Tourism has been hurt drastically by this whole
pandemic but the Airbnbs are also helping. Another one of the main things as well
is that I have a lot of families that come in, families that are looking for the
opportunity to be able to have the full kitchens for a home,just to have actual home
like setting versus just being crammed up into a small hotel, so it is very important
that we find ways to be able to accommodate all types of visitors to Virginia Beach.
So that's one of the main things that I think is important here, so we need to allow
people to live and fully experience Virginia Beach in any way that they, you know,
want to. We need to provide them with different types of options available. We
need to find a way to not punish those who are doing and conducting business
properly, and those who are abiding by the rules that had been set forth in that
place. A lot of us have done exactly what we need to do, followed all the rules, but
here we are getting over and over it looks like things are just going to be taken
away, and we need to look at small businesses and small owners who are just
trying to do their best to make it.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions. All right, thank you.
Ms. Simons: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Next speaker.

Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Kristina Chastain, followed by Todd Solomon, followed by Nancy
Parker. (2:22:49)
Mr. Weiner: Welcome. Please say your name for the record.
Ms. Chastain: Good afternoon commissioners Kristina Chastain. I am coming to you today as
the spokesperson of the Virginia Beach Short-Term Rental Alliance I should be
allowed at the 10 minutes as we discussed, I promise I will not take all that.
Mr. Weiner: You would not have 10 minutes because we have had other people from Short-
Term Rental Alliance have been here also.
Mr. Chastain: No, I am the speaker for the Short-Term Rental Alliance, I am the official speaker
for that group I have already cleared it up with them out here and with the young
lady yesterday that I emailed with.
Mr. Weiner: Yes. Okay, that is fine.
Ms. Chastain: Thank you. As I mentioned, I am the spokesperson for the Virginia Beach Short-
Term Rental Alliance. My name is Kristina Chastain. I am also a lifelong Virginia
Beach resident and North End dweller, a Virginia Beach small business owner and
a short-term rental operator whose property is on 17th Street. The Virginia Beach
Short-Term Rental Alliance which I shall refer to as the STRA is comprised of
multiple short-term rental operators dispersed all throughout our city. These
operators host wonderful families to Virginia Beach for athletic competitions at the
Convention Center, in the Sports Center. These operators host tourists and
travelers that come to our fine city for the beach, the ARE, the aquarium and
everything in between. These operators host business people and military families
and out of towners celebrating special times, that will always endear them to the
City of Virginia Beach.These operators collect a great deal of lodging and transient
occupancy taxes for the City of Virginia Beach, as I am sure you know. These
operators are able to host an alternative to the traditional hotel experience, which
has proven to be a considerable market, while hotels still thrive in the meanwhile.
We recognize the enormity of this issue and we appreciate the time it has taken to
consider what is best for both property rights and neighbors. We the residents and
property owners of the City of Virginia Beach are petitioning for a fair forward
thinking short-term rental ordinance based on data and not anecdotes. The details
of the current proposal under the city's consideration we feel does not do not meet
the standards of quality. As property owners, we should have the right to rent our
property for any length of stay. It is unfair to grant certain areas of the city, the
privilege of by right short-term rental while effectively banning it elsewhere. Here
are some facts to consider. According to City Staff of Virginia Beach 88,270 calls
were made to 311 in 2020, only .01 percent of these calls, just 14, are related to
STR nuisances. Similarly only 7% of zoning complaints in 2020 were related to
STRs. While STRs are not the problem they are made out to be, the city has
nuisance mitigation mechanisms in place for all properties. Whole home STRs
20
makeup . 5% of all housing in Virginia Beach. The tourism investment program
fund is expected to take a $10.5 million reduction to its annual budget in the wake
of COVID-19. 56% of travelers approximately in 2021, will want a beach vacation
they have stated this, and with the city's recent requests for more tourism funds
from the state now is not the time just limit safe lodging options for travelers. Still,
of course, we believe in well thought out solutions that empower the respectful law
abiding operators and weed out those who do not. Responsible hosts exhibit the
best of Virginia Beach hospitality to visiting families and our neighbors. If we rent
to problematic guests, it is our properties and livelihoods that are on the line. We
work hard to be a part of the solution, not the problem. And we should not be
punished for a few bad apples or subject to the whims of those who seek to dictate
the use of other people's properties. We propose to the City of Virginia Beach
short-term rentals within any overlays should be allowed by right. Recent city
discussions have suggested the idea of using the overlays to define where CUP
applications will be accepted. It will be accepted instead of by right use. We do not
support this as it goes against our shared goal of reducing the cumbersome CUP
process for all involved.Those outside of any STR overlays within an existing CUP
have earned the right to keep it. The city should honor this commitment and allow
those CUPs to review. We, the law abiding citizens, taxpayers, business owners,
property owners and residents of Virginia Beach ardently oppose the proposed
sunset of the permits, we have earned if our property falls outside of an arbitrary
boundary that has not existed until now. We ask you to consider a manageable
system to allow future responsible hosts outside of overlays to short-term rent.
Virginia Beach needs tourism and tourism needs STRs, now and in the future. In
addition to contributing to lodging taxes, STRs bring revenue for our entire
economy, from property care specialists we hire to the local businesses we
recommend to our guests. This revenue and the jobs that rely on it stay in Virginia
Beach. Should new permits not be allowed the attrition of short-term rentals will
hurt the entire local tourism economy. We ask the city to work together with the
short-term rental community to leverage proven solutions that are already
employed within Virginia Beach and other beach destinations. The short-term
rental community can and does implement technological solutions, standards and
best practices faster and more effectively than any municipal government ever
could. The city can use this to its own advantage by employing the professional
solutions already in place in Virginia Beach and other destinations to fast track the
implementation of high standards, successful compliance and effective
enforcement. This can only be achieved through open conversation and
collaboration with the exemplary short-term rental operators in our very
community. We ask our elected officials to take this valued and appointed officials
to take this valuable opportunity to create a reasonable open minded and forward
thinking approach to an ordinance that works for all today and tomorrow. The
Leadership Committee of the VBSTRA has also spent many hours these last few
months crafting fair and effective short-term rental policies. We believe these
policies are achieved through compromise and collaboration, not with bans or
21
onerous restrictions. We believe this policy framework that I will be laying out can
serve as a foundation for a comprehensive and enforceable solution, thereby
alleviating the resource consuming CUP process. I know you all were here for that
meeting in July when I think it went till maybe 1:30 in the morning. The VBSTRA
remains committed to an open dialogue with the City of Virginia Beach and
community members in the weeks and months ahead. The following is our
proposal. Item one for the oceanfront resort overlay in the RT zone as STR be
allowed by right with no density CAPs, those are the only overlays. Item two
remove North End and East Shore Drive overlays. Item three for all areas outside
of the oceanfront resort overlay in RT zone, excluding Sandbridge, of course, a
density CAP of 1%. 1% of total housing units, excluding grandfathered STRs and
Sandbridge. Currently this equates to about 1800 STRs total throughout the city.
Eliminate resource consuming CUP process. Implement a simple registration
process with the Planning Department with a safety inspection. A three strike rule
should be implemented with three verified complaints, the Planning Department
could recommend the removal of an STRs registration and ability to operate. For
all STR registration holders, Sandbridge exempt, of course, is item four, no annual
zoning permit requirement. Zoning enforcement to be self-funded via STR tax
revenue. Fifty-two contracts per year, allowing two contracts per week for flexibility
across peak, shoulder and off season. One parking space for the first two
bedrooms, one space for each bedroom thereafter. Occupancy limit of two people
per bedroom excluding children under 16. Safety inspection, a $75 fee inspection
required for new registration, and that renew every three to five years. A
responsible party able to respond to a call within 30 minutes and be on site within
two hours of notifications, and of course fines for noncompliance. Item five
community engagement and continued review of an STR program. We suggest
advisory board that would meet every other month to provide guidance and
recommendations on administration, enforcement and other policies pertaining to
STR permitting. Members should consist of STR hosts, non-hosts, industry
stakeholders and Virginia Beach elected officials. If I may just shed a little light on
this past weekend, we all absolutely agree that what happened was unacceptable
absolutely unacceptable. Responsible and compliant operators like those in the
VBSTRA do not stand for this behavior. As we propose we'd like to see the City
find a way to get all STRs registered properly, so that they have enforcement
mechanisms in place, so the bad actors can be weeded out immediately. The
VBSTRA is dedicated to compliant, responsible hosting and STR operation. I thank
you all Planning Commission so much for your consideration and collaboration.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions. Thank you. Next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Todd Solomon, followed by Nancy Parker, followed by Holly Elliot.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. [2:32:47]
22
Mr. Solomon: Good afternoon, Chairman Weiner and Commission Members, my name is Todd
Solomon. I live in Cape Story by the Sea, one of the proposed ordinance districts,
and I am also the current President of the Shore Drive Community Coalition. The
STCC, along with the city sponsored Bayfront Advisory Commission and the Cape
Story by the Sea Civic Association have all voted to oppose the overlay the East
Shore Drive overlay, which is basically Cape Story Overlay District. We ask that
you reconsider what your shrunken version of, but you still have as a district, we
ask that you reconsider that and have that request be removed. This district was
created by Councilman Wood as part of the proposal, ordinance change to you.
He has since decided that he will go on record he is going to recommend the
removal of this district when it comes back to him. So, we would suggest that you
do the same likewise, take the initiative to have that removed. We feel like we are
being for some reason, you know identified as, there is only three in the whole city
and we are being targeted out in this neighborhood. And we do not understand
why. The Comprehensive Plan and the Shore Drive Corridor Plan both
recommended mentioned that this area should be first and foremost a resort
community, and not a resort destination. So it shouldn't be continued in perpetuity
after all this is done as a district where we want to keep having short-term rentals
turn over and turn over and add more and maintain that. So I mean, if that's the
purpose, you need to explain to us why Cape Story is so much different than the
rest of the City, especially the rest of Shore Drive. What's listed in the ordinance
change as a reason to have Cape Story is that we have multifamily dwellings.Well,
you obviously know there is more multifamily dwellings in the rest of the city, not
just Cape Story. And I would go further to say that having a duplex as a short-term
rental is probably one of the worst things to have especially if you're the one who's
living in it. Next door and somebody changing that over twice a week, that would
be crazy. Close to the Chesapeake Bay, well I cannot argue that. Cape Story is
close to the Chesapeake Bay, but so is Ocean Park, so this Chicks Beach. Croatan
is close to the Atlantic Ocean and it is not in an overlay, so that does not make any
sense either. And then as far as rentals being established in our area. I have yet
to see data that shows that according to Director Tajan, we have the potential to
have 32 units registered already that are grandfathered. Your recommendation
here is to have 200 homes at 10% so that's 20. So you're already above that. So,
just removing us as a district. We'll cap it at the potential grandfathered 32 forever
so I mean, it makes the most sense to remove us. We are first and foremost a
community. We have had the longest Fourth of July parade, it is older than the city
is. We have fireworks. We used to have fireworks, sorry we got regulated. Fourth
of July parade, we have got, you know it is first and foremost and having turn over
after turnover just seems it does not fit well into our community. And we have also
emailed you not only the Oceanfront, the North End with their issues with the
shooting but Chicks Beach short-term rental had a shooting, which is being
investigated by the detective.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments sir. Any questions to Mr. Solomon. Thank you.
23
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Nancy Parker, followed by Holly Elliot, followed by Ben Aber.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome Mrs. Parker. [2:36:34]
Ms. Parker: Thank you. Long day for you all again thank you for being here. Chairman Weiner
and Members of the Planning Commission, my name is Nancy Parker, a 55 plus
year resident. I live in the 500 block of 23rd Street and I am opposed to short-term
rentals as they are game changers for residential communities and require to
contend with the multiple impacts of these business entities. I recognize there is
some that are already here. Number one, there is been a plethora of STR
approvals throughout the city, and we have not experienced a full season with all
the festivals to fully appreciate the impacts on the residential neighborhoods. Most
of these festivals are less than a week. The rental of an STR for less than a week
has already exposed neighbors to behavior that is totally unacceptable resulting
from house parties. Honestly, while owners sleep with visions of dollar signs
dancing in their dreams, the neighbors are dealing with the nightmares. Number
two, the issue of parking is not resolved with the requirement of one parking space
per bedroom. This is only effective at night, if there are parking restrictions on the
street. Overflow parking from daytime activities and guests impact the residential
streets. Including the RT1, RT3, and RT4 and the STR process may seem
innocuous until examined on a granular level. Several of RT3 sites contain multiple
acres with one being on the edge of the Shadowlawn community. Several other
RT3 sites are adjacent to residents who might have something to say if one of the
orange Conditional Use Permit signs for an STR were in the front yard. And
additionally, the only RT4 is at 2216A and B on Baltic Avenue, which was denied
by the Planning and City Council, less than a year ago. This is a strange and
perplexing addition to the process. The ability to change a neighborhood to an
STR overlay district section 2301 B should be adjusted to a higher percentage than
the present 60%. If an investor, who usually lives outside of the neighborhood
owns multiple units, they have a weighted advantage in the process. The city
requirement for the creation of a special service district is 80%of affected property
owners, and traffic calming programs requires 75% of the affected street
neighbors. The bar to move the community to an STR overlay should be much
higher. But the only person on your body that is experienced firsthand the issues
of short-term rental is George Alcaraz. Listening to his experience expressed
during your deliberations should give you pause. Remember, do overs are usually
too late. Stable residential communities are the backbone of any successful city.
Why do STRs get precedent over your long standing residents. The bottom line,
do you want an STR next to you. Would you buy your forever home next door to
an STR. I do not think so and neither would. Thank you all for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any questions. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Next speakers Holly Elliot, followed by Ben Abar, followed by Steven Bishard.
24
Ms. Elliot: Good afternoon, thank you so much for your time. My name is Holly Malilis Elliot
and I am a lifelong resident of the City of Virginia Beach oceanfront. When I was
born we lived on 26th Street and when I was six months old, my parents moved to
Shadowlawn where I grew up, and they lived there until 2006. My father also
owned and operated Around the World Mini Golf,which was located on the corner
of 16th Street at Pacific Avenue so I guess you could say, I grew up there as well.
I absolutely love our City. The only time I have ever lived away from the oceanfront
was when I went to college. I currently live in the 800 block of 12th Street where I
assist in hosting a short-term rental across the street. Our street is a mixture of
owner occupants and long-term renters. My experience has not at all been the
experience that some of the other people have talked about in the North End and
wherever, and I am really here just to share that with you. We are renting to
families, people seeing the ocean for the first time in their life. People coming to
visit family, military who are stationed in Norfolk and taking leave, moms with their
daughters here for a cheer competition, three girls who are nurses who were here
taking some training classes at EVMS, and most recently, a travelling ER nurse
who was here for almost a month working in the area, and a lawyer from New
Orleans, working from home and just needed a change of scenery. Who would
not want to host these folks. Some of our guests have thanked us for the
alternative option because they are not able to afford a hotel at the beach. A lot of
them need a full kitchen because while maybe they can afford a hotel, they cannot
afford to eat every single meal out at a restaurant. Some of them just want the
luxury of being close to the oceanfront, but still have that neighborhood
environment. I have now managed both short-term rentals and long term rentals.
And I can tell you that the difference is significant. I am so sorry about what
happened in the North End and it is awful, and it is unacceptable. But I believe
that part of the blame for that falls on management and the owners. You do not
have to accept every booking request. Ask questions if something strikes you, ask
more questions and that may lead you to realize that you don't need to rent to
these people and reject it. I believe we need regulations; we need enforcement.
But I also think we need a chance to make this work. I think it is beneficial to all of
us. And I think that short-term rentals should be permitted and if they cannot
operate properly and effectively and follow the rules, revoke that permit so that the
ones of us that do manage them properly, effectively and follow the rules can
continue to operate. Thank you so much for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any questions. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Ben Abar, followed by Steven Bishard, followed by Leslie
Richards.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Abar: My name is Ben Abar. Disabled veteran, spent 24 years serving our country. And
one of the things I wanted to do when I came home was live in the Chesapeake
25
Beach Area. As housing prices have risen that became an option that was not
affordable to me until I found an old dilapidated duplex. I was able to purchase it
for pennies on the dollar because it was an eyesore to the neighborhood. I then
spent $300,000 renovating it to where now it is one of the nicest houses on the
street. From everything I have heard from everyone today one of the biggest
issues is, it is not so much to have STRs or not have STRs, it is does not seem
like there is a blanket statement that one size fits all. Everyone here is either in
support of STR or more regulations on STR, but what I am hearing is an overlay
all it is going to do is take away the individual rights of all these people either inside
the overlay or outside of the overlay. So I think the problem is it is the one size fits
all, mentality that we are trying to apply to the City of Virginia Beach, instead of
looking at each individual property, and each individual situation. And in light of
that, a lot of this has been talked about so I am going to fly through it. It is known
that there is positive economic impacts on consumers and the tourism industry
which Virginia Beach comprises itself of. There's positive impacts on
neighborhoods and local businesses, and the local economy. Chesapeake Beach
or Chicks Beach as you guys know, we have HK, Zia Marias, Buoy 44,
Commonwealth Brewery, all businesses that thrive on the local economy they are
inside that neighborhood. Allowing STRs in that neighborhood, STRs, yes stay 2.1
times longer and spend 1.8 more times money in the local economy, which helps
support those businesses inside those smaller neighborhoods. Some of the
impacts that have not been talked about yet that I was actually kind of surprised of
is the environmental impacts. Studies have shown that energy efficient STRs and
North American guests use up to 63% less energy when staying at a STR. That's
our water levels and that's our energy consumption. That is something as a nation
we should be concerned about and strive to do better with. The other one is the
effect on the coronavirus and the community,which is obviously impacted all of us
over the past year. STRs have been a mainstay for stranded travelers that either
are dealing with flight cancellations, border closings, or have had their chances of
cutting off return and can afford to stay in hotel long term. It is also been used as
shelters for emergency personnel, and those that are vulnerable to the sick. A lot
of police officers and first responders have stayed in STRs to avoid exposing their
family members, their children and their loved ones, to the potential risk of
coronavirus. The other issue that I have heard risen is crime and noise. We have
within the City of Virginia Beach and as a nation the ways to deal with those things.
I would simply suggest that we utilize the things we already have in place. Thank
you very much for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for comments sir. [2:46:35]
Mr. Dao: Mr. Chair. That was the last in person speaker, we will now move to virtual
speakers. The first virtual speaker is Steven Bishard, followed by Leslie Richards,
followed by Seth Bloomdale. Mr. Bishard, if you can please hold for three seconds
before making your comments. Thank you.
26
Mr. Bishard: Thank you for letting us speak today. I just want to echo primarily what the
supporters of the STRs are sharing today. We are a family that's from Virginia
Beach. We have several year round rentals and recently, have brought into
business some short-term rentals. One point, we have more issues with our long
term, yearly rentals than of short-term rental properties that we have. I just want to
mention too that the key to this that we have found is really to have an active, even
a proactive, swift, capable and professional management company. For example,
our manager and management company lives in the Old Beach area, kind of
central to where most of our short term rental holdings are, is usually able to be at
site within 10 minutes when there's an issue. So that is proven very, very effective
for us. Also, it does turn out that if there are any changes to the ordinance that
anyone that is grandfathered in any way will be protected in all respects. As the
current ordinance stand today, I think that would be a wise and fair way to handle
things. There certainly is a place in Virginia Beach, and even internationally we
are seeing, for Airbnb. It seems to be the preferred way for people to stay in
places, are another different kind of uses. And so I think we need to preserve that
in some respect. I appreciated Ms. Chastain's way of looking at it. I know there
are various people with various views, ideas and opinions that there has to be a
way to preserve the free market or somewhat of a free market approach. Some of
these families that we heard from, it sounds like it is their sole income. Their
livelihood is based on their ability to maintain a short-term rental business. Lastly,
it seems like that problems associated with short-term rentals are fairly minimal
and when it is looked at in the large lens. All of our rentals, for example, we have
some things and some situations, maybe we have some tenants have parties, but
I can say so far, at least with our short-term rentals, have had no problems, no
situations and no issues come up and so appreciate you hearing it. Thank you for
the opportunity.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Leslie Richards, followed by Seth Bloomdale, followed by
Andrea D'Angelo. Ms. Richard, if you can please hold for three seconds before
beginning your comments.
Ms. Richards: Hi, thank you for letting me speak today. My name is Leslie Richards, and I live in
the North End. Both my husband and I are opposed to allowing short-term rentals
without a CUP process and meaningful enforcement and penalties. STRs
endanger our safety and enjoyment of our home and life for our family and pets.
We are year around residents and love our community and the North End family.
The behavior of those renting STRs has progressively gotten worse each year.
The new renters are less respectful and per their own comments they are entitled
because they paid for it. They aren't concerned about having to face their
neighbors for their actions because they are gone in a couple of days. I was not
aware of the 311 hotline, so now that I am aware I will make sure to make my
complaints known, but that may be why you do not have a lot of records for people
who have issues because they do not know about that outlet. My experience with
short-term renters includes them peeing off balconies, bottles thrown on our decks,
27
trash in the streets, them wanting to fight, and excessive nonstop noise and
partying at each turnover. They are confrontational and aggressive. I can't enjoy
my home because of the fear and anxiety of the next one. Will the next one be
worse than the last one. This year has already started with a bang as we all I am
sure aware of the two flash parties that just occurred down the street from me.
There were gunshots, drag racing, trash, including shell casings, and excessive
noise and screaming. I am afraid to walk my dog at night or sit on my porch for
fear of being hit by a stray bullet. Is this the Virginia Beach we want. There are
more than enough hotels in the area, who have the proper infrastructure and
security to ensure no one gets out of hand. Renters choose STRs because the
cost per person is so low and they can get away with a lot more than if they were
in a hotel. Neighbors are left to fend for themselves with little assistance from the
police, at least that is my experience. In regards to the North End Overlay and
STRs I am against the overlay for the North End. If STRs are to be allowed they
should require approval via CUP. Limit the frequency to one rental per week. In
regard to the North End density calculation that should be based on current legal
STRs and capped at no more than 5%. No new CUPs should be approved until a
density is below 5%, the proposed 15% is excessive especially since there are no
shortage of hotel options. Additional Zoning Inspectors and Enforcement Teams
should be in place prior to granting more CUPs to handle complaints rather than
the homeowner having to contact the responsible party due to fear of retaliation.
Safety of our Virginia Beach residents should be our top concern. Why should
enjoyment of my home be reduced due to a for-profit business in a neighborhood.
By allowing STRs that endanger our community, family friendly environment, and
disrupting our neighborhood and happiness. As I said STRs be limited with strict
enforcement, penalties for violations, and CUP requirements for our own safety.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Next speaker.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Seth Bloomdale, followed by Andrea D'Angelo, followed by John
Mannarino. Mr. Bloomdale, if you please pause for three seconds before starting
your comments. We move on to the next speaker Andrea D'Angelo, followed by
John Mannarino, followed by William Duke. Mrs. D'Angelo please start your
comments.
Ms. D'Angelo: This is Andrea D'Angelo. Thank you for your time today and the ability to speak.
I am a new homeowner in Croatan and I knew that the STRs were available here
because I myself had rented with my family for several years before actually
coming to purchase a home. It seems to me that I was not aware of the conflict by
any means going on between renters and owners. It seems to me that the voices
of few of those should not be able to regulate the rights of everyone else. There is
a public beach and a parking lot in our neighborhood that some feel that renters
are much less desirable. These families spend money here in our restaurants, the
aquariums,and attractions,and they add to the neighborhood with their excitement
28
and pleasure of beach life for a short time, especially after a year of being locked
up for COVID, which seems more important than ever. I think for some people this
income allows the opportunity to make improvements on their properties, which
adds to the values of the neighborhood in general. And the opportunity to share
this place with families who cannot afford to buy here is very rewarding. I know
my family enjoyed this privilege for years making wonderful memories. I would ask
that we allow STRs to continue to exist while maintaining rules to keep these visits
safe and positive for everyone. There are regulations in place, and we should do
our best to ensure a good experience for everyone, but we need to be good
neighbors not combatants. The beach is for everyone, let us find an equitable
resolution. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is John Mannarino, followed by William Duke, followed by Robert
Goodman. Mr. Mannarino, if you can please pause for three second before
starting your comments.
Mr. Mannarino: Hi this is John Mannarino, can you hear me. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: You can start your comments, sir.
Mr. Mannarino: Hi. I only have a couple of questions because Croatan is not in an overlay district
and we hope that Croatan would not be in an overlay district. The concern I have
is the sun setting of CUPs that already exists and the definition of grandfathering.
To me it is a bit hazy and I am not sure whether or not we fully understand and
appreciate that some of the properties in Croatan, which may be grandfathered
have thus far been long-term rentals and not short-term rentals, or short-term
rentals which are in possession of CUPs. I understand that those will sunset, so
that we can retain the character of the neighborhood, without having to go through
the struggles that we are seeing in the North End. And as to the previous
comments about the accessibility of the beach and what it means to residents that
are here, it does not seem that the individuals are looking at the fact that
homeowners have a sizable investment in their properties as well. And just
because an individual is looking to make a short-term investment in a short-term
rental, does not mean it is going to be beneficial to me as a long-term renter. So,
once again, please, if we can just have some more qualification on what it means
to sunset a CUP after five years and what it means to be grandfathered it would
clarify those of us living outside of an overlay district what that means for the future
of our neighborhoods. I also would like to suggest that that 60% petition rate to
establish an overlay district be raised again to something like 75% or 80%, which
one of your previous speakers said about the SSD and about the traffic changes,
that is the extent of my comments. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is William Duke, followed by Robert Goodman, followed by
Andrea Chambers. Mr. Duke. You can please start your comments.

Mr. Duke: I am William Duke, and I am the Vice Chairman of the Tidewater Libertarian Party.
I am not speaking on behalf of the TLP, but you should know that I am a libertarian
and I am also speaking only for myself, and I also run an Airbnb with my wife in
our large home, we rent out rooms and we stay there. Regarding short term rental
overlays, I am completely in favor of the Virginia Beach Short-Term Rental
Associations recommendations. And, I believe it is great to have meaningful and
useful regulations of these short-term rentals, but I am appalled that you would
create these zones where you would — I don't think it is very well thought out. You
are clearly going to be changing the nature of the neighborhoods because there
will be so many people who will want to start STRs in the near future, they are
going to have to be in that property, that area, and you are going to change the
nature of that overlay, and you are also restricting the rights, property rights of
people throughout the city who don't live there. It's not very libertarian by any
means to extend certain rights to one area but not to another. And you will see a
change in both inside and outside of these overlay districts, as people who expect
to have the right to run short-term rentals realize that they have to move to do so,
buy property elsewhere to do so. It is going to be a disaster. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Robert Goodman, followed by Andrea Chambers, followed by
Margaret Rontini. Mr. Goodman if you can please start your comments.
Mr. Goodman:I am Robert Goodman, a lifelong resident of the North End of Virginia Beach. I
would strongly urge you not to have an automatic short-term rental permitted in the
North End of Virginia Beach, it would only be by permit. And the permits should
be subject to some strict rules and requirements. You do not have a right to
enforce it if it is not a practical matter. First thing is that it ought to be revocable, if
there are problems. Secondly, they should be sunset after a period of time so that
they can be reviewed from time-to-time, so that no one person gets a lock for life
on a rental. There should also be a limit on density, I would recommend 5% of the
total dwelling structures within a street, 1% within a city could leave whole areas
flooded. With respect to a street in the North End, I think you should include the
Ocean Avenue, or numbers that have the same street number, and the feeder road
that has the same street numbers. Once you get to the density and it should be by
side, one on each side of Atlantic Avenue if you are going to get there.The process
should be taken into heavy account any objection by the neighbors, for example,
Mr. Davenport's application is strongly opposed by his neighbors he can rent by
the week now. The issue is short-term rental, that should be limited to one rental
per week, under any of these applications at the North End. There should also be
a look that is not going to adversely affect the live oaks and things like that when
they clean up, they destroy the neighborhoods, for the sake of a little bit more
money. There should be inspection by the fire inspectors because we are
suddenly looking at a greater density. And these are short-term rentals, these are
not normal rentals. The inspectors should be paid out of a special fund that should
be assessed against as a special tax on this, and the inspector should be permitted
in the permit to go into the house to see be sure that there are not more bedrooms,
30
than are authorized, so there needs to be an authorization to go in without a search
warrant. I would strongly say that behavior consequences such as very recently
that would involve multiple, multiple violations. You do not need three strikes over
three different days. That three strike point would have been more than covered
by what happened at 56th Street, for example, and that permit should be revoked
effective immediately. If you're going to do that you give a chance of preserving
the residential character at the North End, which despite what people say is there.
And when we talk about the finances and property values going up, yes, but the
residential value goes down. You want to live next to a 56th Street rental, only if
you are going to buy the next one and do the same thing if that's doing right now.
Otherwise you are going to move. That is not what your responsibility is to us as
long term citizen. Thank you very much.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Andrea Chambers, followed by Margaret Zontini, followed by
Andrew Cohen. Ms. Chambers, if you can please start your comments.
Ms. Chambers: Good afternoon, my name is Andrea Chambers. I just recently bought a home in
the North End, last year coincidentally on 56th Street. My understanding is that
the City Council has found that some areas of the city for short-term rentals are
not compatible with residential use and the surrounding communities, due to the
concerns of excessive noise, illegal or improper parking, congestion, litter, and
interference with the quiet enjoyment of the residential neighborhood where they
live. We experienced all these issues with a short-term rental in our neighborhood
this weekend. As you know, there was a massive party at a short-term rental at
Holly and 56th Street that started on Friday night and continued all the way through
Sunday. My neighbor called the police at midnight on Friday due to excessive
noise, the police responded, but were not able to shut down the party, because
they did not have the right to do so. according to what they indicated. The party
continued until 3am that night, at which time eight shots were fired and there
apparently was a shooting victim. To surprise variable and the party continued on
Saturday night, I was out of town and received multiple texts Saturday showing
cars blocking my driveway, running over my lawn. And, I was informed that folks
were shouting obscenities at my neighbors, and that the police returned but we are
not able to shut down the party again. There was twerking on top of police cars
and neighbors said the party did not end till 5am of the party goers were allowed,
leaving the party as well. Due to concern with my safety of my property I drove 10
hours home to get home to see if the mayhem would continue on Sunday. I
understand this was an illegal Airbnb, but I do not see how, adding an overlay to
make it legal would help anything. Concerning the density I am very concerned
with the density issues and I note that the Marriott owner was able to somehow
carve out an exception to the overlay which seems unfair to the rest of us in the
North End who don't want this for our neighborhoods. We were planning to make
this as our retirement home, we spend money at restaurants like every, you know
people are saying they want people to come here and spend money on restaurants
and shops, we do that all the time since we are living here now. So, we would also
31
like to be able to bring our children here to visit and see the ocean and have a safe
place for them to come. We strongly oppose the overlay. If there's going to be a
continuation of short-term rentals we would support continued use of the
conditional permit process. I was impressed listening this morning to those
applications and how careful the council was or the Zoning Committee was in
reviewing them. We would support a minimum requirement, in my view of one
month, when I was purchasing my condo here I was told that most of the condos.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments.
Mr. Dao: The next speaker is Margaret Zontini, followed by Andrew Cohan, followed by
Michael Kelly. Ms. Zontini, please start your comments.
Ms. Zontini: Most of the conversation that we have had today and you have heard many good
suggestions, which I think is wonderful. Sadly I live on a street where there are six
rentals whether they are STRs I have no idea but who goes through them of the
Airbnbs, but I can tell you that over the last five years we have had incredible
amount of parties, nonsense, and cars. And it is not just all families, you know, it
is just an abundance of all kinds of things. And it goes on until the wee hours of
the morning. I think that I am totally against overlays. I think there could be an
equitable resolution to 90% of it. And, I do think we need desirable regulations but
just to give a blanket automatic lot for life it is not cohesive to a neighborhood, and
the North End is a neighborhood. My grandfather built the house that I live in in
1933, and it is remained in our family ever since. And it started out as a lovely little
neighborhood I do not want that to change, and I greatly appreciate the fact that
you all have let us give our opinions and our voices today. Thank you so much.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Andrew Cohan, followed by Michael Kelly, followed by Thomas
Lopresti. Mr. Cohan, please start your comment.
Mr. Cohan: Thank you very much. Hello, my name is Andrew Cohan, I am a property owner
and a full time year around resident of the North End where I have owned a home
for 20 years. I speak in support of the North Virginia Beach Civic League position
on short-term rentals, which seeks to preserve the residential character of the
North End. While short-term rentals may be compatible with commercial zoning
of the OR and RT districts, they are not compatible with the residential zoning of
the North End. At the recent Planning Commission workshop on STRs I was
deeply disturbed the commissioners were willing to recommend an STR density of
15% for the North End higher than the 10% recommended for the Shore Drive
district, based on data that staff explained is unreliable, stating that they have no
way to determine the current actual number of STRs in the North End. And, further
staff stated that the data that they provided included a significant number of
properties that were grandfathered as STRs, and also a significant number of
unpermitted and illegal STRs, but that they had no way to separate those out in
the data. Your staff told you that the Commissioner of Revenue has at least some
of this data but will not share it with you. Before making an arbitrary
32
recommendation for 15% density of STRs in the North End, Planning Commission
should ask Council to direct the Commissioner of Revenue to provide the data that
you need to make a properly informed recommendation. Any recommendation by
this Planning Commission on whether to create an STR overlay for the North End,
and if so, what density to allow in that overlay, must be based on reliable data.
Further, the baseline for any such recommendation must be based on the current
number of legally permitted STRs and not on a number of density that includes
grandfathered or illegal STRs. So, to conclude our request the Planning
Commission adopt the position of North Virginia Beach Civic League as follows;
the North End should not be in an STR overlay, however, if the North End is in an
STR overlay STR applications must be reviewed and approved through the
Conditional Use Permit process. You must limit STRs to density reflecting the
current number of legal STRs in the North End or no more than 5% of residences.
STR should be limited to a frequency of one rental per week. STR applications
shall require a current physical survey and site plan showing the proposed parking
plan, and additional zoning inspectors must be funded and fired as needed to
enforce STR regulations. Thank you very much for this opportunity to share my
remarks with you.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Michael Kelly, followed by Thomas Lopresti, followed by Martin
Warrant. Mr. Kelly, please pause for three seconds before starting your
comments.
Mr. Kelly: This is Michael Kelly, I am the president of the Croatan Civic League and I want to
say first of all I appreciate the challenging issues and problems that you are dealing
with. I think MIT calls it a wicked hard problem. Everybody is trying to do the best
they can from their interests and concerns and thus the problem becomes even
more complex, because we are also dealing with people's lives. Our Board
reviewed the current change recommendations and support the current change
recommendations. You have seen our comments before and letters and so I would
not go in very much detail, I guess I would just highlight three things. The first is
grandfathering. It is vague, and it is not clear. And it is not clear how a
grandfathered property comes into compliance. Secondly, as has been pointed
out, there is no central list that identifies what properties are registered as STRs
likewise what properties are grandfathered. And therefore neighbors and
communities probably do not have a very good way of being able to look for both
the issues, as well as to be helpful in their recommendations. And finally, I think
clearly there is not an adequate process for reporting. It does not work right now
very well, the responses do not seem to work very well right now, and it is already
been mentioned that there is an inadequate ability to enforce and obviously,
whatever you do, you have got to be able to enforce the regulations. Again, you
are doing the best you can. I think you're doing a pretty good job at trying to get
through all of this, and I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Thomas Lopresti, followed by Martin Warrant, followed by Gail
Johnston. Mr. Lopresti, please start your comment.
Mr. Lopresti: My name is Tom Lopresti I am also part of the Virginia Beach Short-Term Rental
Alliance, I am in pro in favor of short-term rentals. I think they should exist by right
within the entire city, I do not believe in the overlay districts. I think you are taking
people's fundamental right to do with what they want to their property. I feel that
the Planning Commission is being bullied into an enforcement and regulatory role
instead of Planning, and that is done by the City Council and a lot of these groups
like the North End. I appreciate them. I appreciate the concerns. I do not want
people trashing my property or misbehaving, I am a renter and an owner. But, the
world is changing, people are changing, and the city changing and I get it, you
guys do not want change or afraid of it. But that is not a reason to ban my right to
use my property how I want. There is already enforcement on the books, we
already know there is rules and regulations governing people's behavior, we just
need to enforce those things. Get rid of CUP process. Get rid of all this nonsense
that you're wasting your time on and let this thing take fold. The only reason you
are doing it now is because it hasn't existed as long as long term rentals. Long
term rentals are worse in every aspect than short-term rentals. I mean they just
are, the data is there to prove that. I get these people do not want short-term
rentals, then they are not going to want long term rentals, and then they are not
going to want young people moving in their neighborhood, then they are not going
to want people that do not speak with an American accent. Where does it stop.
You are not going to always get the perfect little bubble and neighborhood. Things
change and I am sorry but that's just life. So let it happen but do not rely on the
government to, you know, remove your rights or anyone's rights, because you are
uncomfortable with something. I really appreciate you guys taking the time. I think
everyone is really passionate about this, but you know let's let this develop and
unfold for a few years before we start just getting pushed into doing things that we
do not know the consequences of like the whole parking thing. You got people
tearing up these beautiful lawns to make room for parking so they could because
they to comply and do what's right. 99% of the owners want to do what's right. We
want to register, we want to pay our taxes, we want to do what's right by the
government, by the city, by our neighbors. But you guys make it so hard. I cannot
tell you how many people I know are running short-term rentals aren't registered
because they know they would not get approved. They know the City's against
them, they do not want to speak up, they do not do these things. They would love
to but they know it is just not going to happen. So,that is my two cents, I appreciate
you guys listening to me. And please, do what you can do to support the short-
term rentals because we are here to help you guys succeed as a city, one Nation.
Thank you.

Hughes. Mr. Warrant, please start your comment.

Mr. Warrant: So, it is been a long day and I thank you very much for your attention, which I do
not imagine has been easy at all. A lot has been said. I live at the North End for
the last 30 to 60 years I have been in Virginia Beach, before that Norfolk. And I
am a full time resident on 66th Street. I was little bit of confused by some of the
commentary because I thought this overlay thing was what we had done. The
North End was burdened by the City with grandfathered ability for people to build
condominiums, single family, duplex apartments and so forth and so on. on small
lots. And that was done all over the North End starting probably 20 years ago, and
the overlay that we created was to allow people to have smaller dwellings, rather
than the big box dwellings and that's how the overlay came about for us. Now, as
regarding the short-term situation, there have always been rentals at the North
End. Those residents that are here know about it and live with it and it hasn't been
much of a problem. The problem is Airbnb, which has expanded into an industry,
and an industry is a commercial activity, and there is no space in a residential area
for commercial activities. Now, we are not going to eliminate short term rentals,
but there absolutely must be a control over short-term rentals.To that end, I believe
that the city has the capacity to find out what percentage of the housing at the
North End is rented and let that be the base of the percentage accepted. There's
no way to increase that activity. I don't want the increased rentals in my
neighborhood. There should be no official sanction to increase the average rental
percentage at all. Now, residents of the North End have not indicated any
animosity towards rentals but they are absolutely opposed to increasing the
volume of them. The city has an obligation to provide for health and safety, nothing
in your plan at the point that I am aware for the North End addresses those
obligations. They are nothing to those willing to alter living conditions, many for
personal profit. The changes you present cater to them, ignoring the bedrock
residents of the City of Virginia Beach. I strongly urge that there be no increased
rentals at the North End. And I thank you very much and I recognize that you've
got a tough job. Signing off.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Gail Johnston, followed by Bob Hughes, followed by Barbara
Sherill. Ms. Johnston please start your comment.
Mr. Weaver: Hi, my name is Michael Weaver, I am Gail's son, she had to run to a doctor's
appointment. I think she did not realize how long this would last. I am just going
to very briefly go over what she wanted me to go over. Right now I am the third
generation longtime resident here, My grandfather built the home that we currently
rent out as an STR. We have been running out for nine years, in that time we have
had one problem the entire time that we personally enforced. We have no
complaints from our neighbors. Now, we are a little different because we are
literally right next door so we can enforce immediately, which is part of the reason
why it is easier for us to enforce, but there are a couple of things that we were sort
of concerned with. One is that the overlays create sort of an unfair concentration.
A lot of people have already said this, but it is worth reiterating, an unfair
concentration in certain areas, it does not really resolve any of the concerns people
35
have for their safety or the safety of their neighborhood within those overlays.
Unless there is a means of enforcing rules and stopping people from basically
disturbing the peace. I mean that seems to be a very important thing that we
absolutely need to address but I am not 100% sure how the proposed changes
would in any way address that. The other thing is in addition to the obvious, the
revenue that comes in, the beneficial safety of a home as opposed to a hotel in the
time of COVID. I mean, we really do have some concerns with like the proposed
limits on the number of people that can be at the home. A lot of the people that
stay at our rental are here to see family. And so they come, they gather at the
home. I mean that we may want to expand the number of people who are allowed
to be in the home in addition to renters. It should be maybe more like 10 additional
people. I am not sure that is something that should be discussed. And then, quite
frankly, I think that if we want to protect people like from what I have been hearing
about what happened here on the North End Sunday night, I means the cops were
on our property at like three in the morning with rifles and dogs, and flashlights.
Yeah, that is not okay but I do not see how that's going to be fixed with anything
we are talking about because as far as I know the reason that we are here Sunday
has nothing to do with STRs right, we had somebody complaining to us about it, it
is a resident nearby who apparently has had some problems before. We are not
going to be more or less safe because of STRs unless we have specific ways to
enforce conduct for people who are visiting. That is pretty much all. I really
appreciate you guys taking the time to listen to everything everyone has to say and
looking forward to working with everyone to find a good solution and moving
forward.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Bob Hughes followed by Barbara Sharell, followed by Kieran
Archbell. Mr. Hughes, please start your comments. [3:24:29]
Mr. Hughes: Good afternoon. My name is Bob Hughes, my wife and I am the owner of a two
bedroom condominium located at 2113 Atlantic Avenue in the Kamla
condominiums, and it has been a short-term rental since we purchased it in 1999.
I am also the President of our Condominium Owners Association and I am
representing the owners of all 15 units, 11 of which are either are or will be short-
term rentals. I want to thank the Planning Commission for taking another look at
the short-term rental regulations. I know is a tough nut to crack. Countless rules
and regulations which as the President I actively enforce already reflect many of
the restrictions that you were considering, and they were developed over the
decades to address the need to manage short-term rentals within our
condominium complex. The creation of the oceanfront resort short-term rental
overlay district will help us manage the Virginia Beach vacation experience, and it
is something that we support. I cannot speak to the appropriateness of the other
overlay district by personal basis, a one size fits all solution just does not seem to
work. The oceanfront resort is a very different critter from other areas of Virginia
Beach. However, after reviewing the proposed changes the existing regulations, I
would like to address several areas of concern. Dropping the occupancy limit from
36
six people of any age to four adults and two children for a two bedroom 1200
square foot condominium is overly restrictive. Kamla has had a six person of any
age restriction in place for decades and we have never had any issue with
overcrowding. All of our units are two bedrooms and they can safely accommodate
six adults. The requirement for a 30 minute on site response should be modified
to phone contact within 30 minutes, and on site within one hour 30 minutes after
phone contact. All but one of Kamla's 11 short-term rentals are professional
managed by local firms. It is physically impossible to guarantee that somebody can
get on site to the oceanfront within 30 minutes. Have you tried to drive to the
oceanfront on a Saturday afternoon, it could take 30 minutes just to make it from
where 264 ends to get to Atlantic Avenue. I live in Western Branch and on a good
day, it takes me at least 45 minutes to make it to the oceanfront. Many short-term
rental problems can be resolved over the phone, and do not require somebody on
site to resolve. The next issues I want to address are ones that require clarification.
The first is the occupancy limit for events. The proposed change reads no events
permitted with guests above the number of allowed guests per night as calculated
by two per bedroom. But for the purposes of this regulation what constitutes an
event. If my short-term rental tenant invited five people over to my two bedroom
condo one evening to watch the fireworks but not spend the night, is that an event,
and would I be in violation because they invited five people over? This regulation
needs clarification as to what constitutes an event. And finally, with respect to
balcony occupancy determinations, you need to specify what building code
construction or life safety standard you want to have apply to that the
determination. For a building like Kamla, with four inch thick concrete balconies,
the calculations are very different than that for wooden deck or balcony. Kamlas
balconies were built with a design light load of 60 pounds per square foot. In the
case of my unit,the balcony is 126 square feet or a live load of 7560 pounds,which
is thirty seven 200 pound people.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Barbara Sharell, followed by Karen Archbell, followed by Louis
Gaytan. Ms. Sharell, please start your comments.
Ms. Sharell: Thank you. We are second generation of Cape Story by the Sea. We definitely
oppose any kind of overlay. Our neighborhood is sandwiched between the brand
new Delta hotel with 295 rooms and First Landing State Park with 229 between
cabins and recreational camping slots. I just wanted to help put a face maybe on
what an STR on our street has done to us. I had one of my neighbors call me
crying in tears because an STR renter, she works at night and they pulled up, they
came through and were knocking on her back door, and when she said she was
not an STR and did not know where it was, they got angry at her, they left the car,
their cars in her driveway, she came out and demanded that they moved them.
She had me on the phone because she was so afraid of this group of people. So,
the police were called because the man was cursing and swearing at her and I
heard all this over the phone. I came out of my house the police were called
another neighbor came out. So, this is very upsetting with these STRs. That is
37
one example. Next example,the kids were scared to walk down the street because
this STR home had different people that would come to it. Cars were parked in
front, their windows were rolled up and the cars were full of smoke. The kids were
afraid to walk past there so they would go around to a different way to get to their
house. So now you have got working people scared, you have got kids that are
frightened. We have a 90-year-old in our neighborhood who has lived here all her
90 years. She is very unsettled by the disturbing constant array of strangers,
pacing back and forth around her property. We are now another house just to let
you know she was scared because the STR tenants were making a bunch of noise.
She did not want to call the police because of repercussions. She did not and
another neighbor did but her house wound up getting egged. Also, there was a
family that came in, they did not like they bought a bunch of fast food, they did not
like it they threw over the food over the fence and the neighbor's dog ate it and got
sick. So does anybody pay the bill for the vet, does anybody pay the bill for the
house that gets egged, is anybody looking after the neighbor now that is so
unsettled because they have STRs banging at their door trying to find out where it
is on our street. I just think this is not a place, Cape Story by the Sea, is not a
neighborhood for STRs.We are a solid family oriented neighborhood, and just this
one STR on our street has been continuously disruptive in every kind of way,
urinating in public, one group was asked not to do that. Overflowing trash.

Ms. Lulushi: Hello Planning Commission. This is Enit Lulushi, thank you for listening. My
husband and I are Croatan homeowners and I speak today against the proposed
ordinance changes. I want to commend the City Council for recognizing the
system they put in place for STRs, which they just created only a short year ago is
entirely broken, flawed, subjective, biased and nonfunctional. However, the
current proposed changes in front of you are also wrong and we reject them. As
they will exacerbate the problems, impact negatively a large swath of your
homeownership base, even hurt your tourism revenue. We believe rental short-
term is a homeowner's right as part of a homeownership right. We support the
STRs with a minimum stay of seven nights in Croatan. We urge you to consider
for Croatan, the same solutions as you do for the North End or at least establish
an objective, unbiased and fair CUP application process in the future. Because
Croatan is very much like the North End, both because of its location and the
history of vacation homes in Virginia Beach. The narrative you have been
accustomed to is that there is no overwhelming support in Croatan for STR. I hope
today's hearing disproves that narrative. At least it is 50:50, up to now. The
statement you might hear that full time residents have bought their homes to live
in a "full time" residential neighborhood is misleading at the least, as there has
38
always been the ocean here and there have always been vacation homes in
Croatan from its very beginning. For instance, we have been second homeowners
in Croatan for 18 years now, it has always been that. The argument that Croatan
is residential and therefore STRs should be banned is flawed. It is perfectly aligned
with the American dream and with the residential use of a neighborhood, to have
hardworking honest American families who come here for a beach vacation or to
visit their military members for at least a week. And we care about the peace and
quiet of our neighborhood, as much as anyone else. In addition, we care about
our own property. We indeed are paying members of the Civic League. And by
the way, the President of the Civic League does not speak for me. And even
though the police have, we have Atkinson manage our home. The argument that
the vacation families will come and cause destruction by parking on the street while
they have four guest parking spaces in their fancy Croatan vacation homes and
garages defies logic. In general, the narrative that everyone who comes to visit in
Virginia Beach constitutes a threat to full time residents and is aspiring to break
the law by illegally parking or overflowing trash or worse, is not helpful. So is the
assumption that everyone who aspires to rent out their home on short-term is
careless and has disregard for the peace and quiet of neighborhoods. Please let
us not encourage the bashing of American families that are willing to bring their
hard earned tourist money here and by doing so fully.
Mr. Dao: Next speakers is Elaine Fakete, followed by Whitney Harding, followed by Brandy
Flotan. Ms. Fekete, please start your comments.
Ms. Fakete: Good afternoon everyone I know it is been a long day, I will keep this brief. I just
wanted to say that I can thank everyone my name is Elaine Fakete. I can
sympathize with the issues that people have. I have a friend who invites me over
to a neighborhood that is not anywhere near the beach, every fourth of July for a
cookout and there is a house down the street that every year has huge hundreds
of cars show up. There is admission,there is loud noise,there is underage drinking
there is gunfire, there is fireworks. But what I came here to point out today was
that's not a short-term rental, the owner of the house is doing that. So, some of
these concerns in the neighborhoods are not just relevant to short-term rentals. I
have spoken to you. I live in Sandbridge. I have lived in Sandbridge for 26 years.
I have rented my home for 13, and I have spoken before most of you, multiple
occasions, about Sandbridge, which I know is not in particular on the issue today,
but I just want to point out to you that Sandbridge is a neighborhood as well. On
my street, which is a cul-de-sac street, there are over 50 houses, and there are
only three short-term rentals on my street. The rentals in Sandbridge, we have
found a way to make them where they are not bothering the neighbors, there are
no noise, there are no complaints, there are no issues. I personally vetted every
guest. It is a family that comes to stay with us during the summer. This is the
home that I live in so I rent out my home so I am going to make extra sure that it
is taken care of. Families come in the summer and on the weekends and holidays
when my children aren't in school. We rent to a lot of military families who come
39
to town and want to see their children or to families up and down the East Coast
to meet here in the middle. It is a mistake, a huge mistake, to assume that if we
do not have short-term rentals that people will stay in a hotel. I talk to these people,
it is two different groups of people that we can cater to both. People will drive
elsewhere, the Outer Banks is not that far away. It will happen. Like I said, I have
been doing it for 13 years, I have never had a complaint. My neighbors meet me
in my yard on Saturday and say, oh, I had the best time watching so and so's
grandchild ride a bike, oh I went fishing with so and so, oh I invited your guests
over for dinner because they were so nice. And there is no more traffic than when
I am here, there is no more trash than when I am here and I think that, you know
the Visitor and Convention Bureau might be a little upset if people are watching
this today hearing that in general, we think that tourists to our area are a safety
threat, they are noisy, they are more litter, I mean, are we not welcoming or are
we. The one thing I wanted to bring up about the Sandbridge issue is the fee for
zoning.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Whitney Harding, followed by Brandy Flatan, and followed by
Karen Archbell. Ms. Harding, please start your comments.
Ms. Harding: Hi my name is Whitney Harding. I am a resident of the North End at 65th Street.
We do have a couple of short-term rentals, they rent out rooms and everything. I
have three young children and this concerns me for their safety. We have a house
for sale, right at the end of our driveway, which means if someone comes in and
makes it a short-term rental, I fear for the safety of my children playing in our
driveway. We do not know who these people are, could they be a sex offender,
coming in right next to me and me not knowing and not allowing my seven and
nine year old boys to play in their own driveway. I think we need to be very careful
about how many we allow. I agree with the position of the North Virginia Beach
Civic League. I think it should only be 5%, and we need to not be an overlay,
personally I do not think we should be. We are a residential community, I know my
neighbors, yes, some are second homes, but I do know them and they come back
for the summer and we look out for one another like other people in the North End
has said, we look out for their homes we look out for our neighbors, and so I just
do not want to see short-term rentals in the North End. Thank you.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Brandy Flotan, followed by Karen Archbell followed by Louis
Gaytan. Ms. Flotan, please start tour comment.
Ms. Flotan: Hi, good afternoon. Thank you for this time and for this attention on this detail. I
am a homeowner in the Vibe Creative District. I just want to express my support
for STRs, specifically my neighborhood, which is a mixed zone and it is also in the
Oceanfront Resort District Overlay. I purchased my home as a vacation home for
my family to use and enjoy, and we rent it about 30% of time which helps us
support and maintain the excellence of our property. I am invested in this
community as a homeowner, I am also a business owner in this community, and I
40
employ members of community for cleaning and yard maintenance. My home is
co-joined with four other units, four out of the five which are also approved and
registered STRs and myself along with my neighbors have had positive
experiences here. We have screened our guests, we have established a
communication channel between us that has been very effective and is a multiplier
for eyes on the property. Personally I hosted 16 families last year, all of which had
no issues and were lovely and had amazing experiences and plan to come back
to Virginia Beach. Again, I have enjoyed operating as an STR and would really
express my support to be able to continue this by right. I submit that the Oceanfront
Resort District by nature is the most appropriate best use and should be allowed
by right to homeowners within the district. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Dao: Next speaker is Karen Archbell, followed by Louis Gaytan. Ms. Archbell, please
start your comment. We move on to the next speaker,which is Louis Gaytan. Mr.
Gaytan, please start your comment. User 19, can you please identify yourself.
Caller 21, can you please identify yourself. I am sorry, can you speak louder. That
is all the speakers on the agenda.

14
15 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
16 BEACH, VIRGINIA:
17
18 That Article 23 of the City Zoning Ordinance, consisting of Sections 2300 thrc:.:;"
19 2303, is hereby added and ordained to read as follows:
20
21 ARTICLE 23. SHORT TERM RENTAL OVERLAY DISTRICTS
22
23 Sec. 2300. Findings; intent.
24
25 The Virginia General Assembly has directed that short term rentals shall be
26 permitted as a principal use in the area defined as the Sandbridge Special Service
27 District. In addition, the City Council hereby finds that there are certain areas of the City
28 in which residential dwellings are, and historically have been, rented to vacationers or
29 others on a short term basis. In these areas, the City Council finds that such use, when
30 appropriately regulated, may be carried on without adversely affecting the adjacent
31 residential neighborhoods. In other areas of the City, short term rentals are not
32 compatible with the residential use of the surrounding properties and are often the
33 cause of excessive noise, illegal or improper parking, traffic violations, congestion and
34 litter, thereby interfering with the quiet enjoyment of the residential neighborhood in
35 which they occur The provisions of this Article allow short term rentals, with appropriate
36 restrictions, only in those areas directed by the General Assembly and/or in such other
37 areas in which short term rentals may be carried on without adversely affecting the quiet
38 enjoyment of neighboring properties.
39 The North End STR Overlay is an area on the Atlantic Ocean that has seen a
40 proliferation of short term rentals for many years, and where rental of property during
41 the summer is a common experience that has not generated significant negative impact
42 to the community. Although the short term rental use is generally compatible within the
43 North End STR Overlay, the City Council finds that a continuing proliferation of the use
44 will fundamentally change the character of the community, negatively impact property
45 values and diminish the quality of life for year round residents. Therefore, this use
46 should be limited within the North End STR Overlay to the number of STRs (255)
47 existing as of November 2, 2020.
48 The OR STR Overlay is an area of the City that is more urbanized than other
49 areas. The area includes the Atlantic Ocean and the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
50 Lodging accommodations and other commercial activity supporting the resort area and
51 tourism are prevalent in this area. Accordingly, short term rental density limitations are
52 unnecessary in this overlay.
53
54 Sec. 2301. District boundaries.
55
56 (a) The Short Term Rental Overlay Districts boundaries shall be as
57 designated on the official zoning map of the city (STR).
58
59 (b) Other identified areas of the City may petition the City Council for an
60 overlay to be created if the identified community is able to gather the signatures of
61 seventy-five (75) percent of the owners of the properties in the community. Only one (1)
62 signature per property may be counted. Such communities shall be pre-existing, and
63 any new community boundaries may not be created for the purpose of meeting the
64 requirements of this section for creation of a short term rental overlay.
65
66 Sec. 2302. Application of regulations.
67
68 The designation of any property as lying within a Short Term Rental Overlay
69 District shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the underlying zoning district
70 classification of such property, such that any property situated in a Short Term Rental
71 Overlay District shall also lie within one or more of the zoning districts enumerated in
72 Section 102(a) of this ordinance. All such property shall be subject to the requirements
73 of this Article as well as to all other regulations applicable to it, and to the extent that
74 any provision of this Article conflicts with any other ordinance or regulation, the
75 provision of this Article shall control.
76
2
77 Sec. 2303. Use regulations.
78
79 (a) Subject to general requirements and to the regulations of the underlying
80 zoning district, all uses and structures permitted as principal, conditional or accessory
81 uses in the underlying zoning district in which they are located shall be so designated
82 permitted within the Short Term Rental Overlay Districts.
83
84 (b) Short term rental overlay — North End and OR
85 a. Short term rentals in the OR STR Overlay District and the North End
86 STR Overlay District shall be conditional uses, if in compliance with
87 the requirements of Section 241 .2 as modified as follows:

90 this condition shall not add additional impervious area to the

94 ordinance. used for required parking. Driveway area located

104 properties are unable to provide the required parking on-site.
105 For these condominium properties, the zoning administrator

107 dwelling unit similar to the requirement for lodging uses in the
108 Oceanfront Resort District Form Bases Code (ORDFBC).

117 obtain a Special Event Permit under City Code Section 4-1 .
118 iv. Replacing condition (3): The owner or operator must provide
119 the name and telephone number of a responsible person, who
120 may be the owner, operator or agent, who is available to be

153 grandfathered at the time of adoption of the short term rental
154 ordinance, which properties shall be subject exclusively to the
155 provisions of section 241 .2. The use regulations of this section
