CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize acquisition of temporary and permanent easements
for the Thalia Creek Greenway Phase 3 Project, 100415 (formerly CIP 4-079),
either by agreement or condemnation.
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 5, 2021
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
• Background: The Thalia Creek Greenway Phase 3 Project (the "Project") is for
the improvement of a 1 ,500 linear foot shared-use path. The Project includes
construction of boardwalk and trail facilities starting on Bonney Road at a City-owned
parcel and continuing north to South Independence Boulevard. The City has completed
earlier phases of the path between Constitution Drive and Bonney Road. The Project,
together with earlier phases, is a unique initiative to develop an urban greenway that
provides access to natural open space while also providing an alternative transportation
route in the Town Center area. The Project first appeared in FY 2012-13 as part of a 3-
phase project and has been partially funded with grant money.
• Considerations: The Project requires permanent public access easements,
temporary construction easements, and the relocation of an existing drainage
easement. The proposed easements are primarily situated near Thalia Creek and are in
areas that are not developable due to environmental conditions; however, one
acquisition will involve a temporary construction easement across an existing parking lot
drive aisle. No businesses will be displaced by these acquisitions and care will be
exercised to minimize any disruption. Authority is requested to acquire the necessary
easements by agreement or condemnation.
• Public Information: A portion of funding for the Project came from a TAP grant
that required a City Council Resolution of Support, which occurred on October 21, 2014.
A Public Notice concerning the Project was advertised on March 17, 2019 and March
24, 2019. One response was received, and City staff met with the individual on May 14,
2019.
An advertised public hearing will be held on October 5, 2021 , and public notice will be
provided via the normal City Council agenda process.
• Alternatives: Deny the ordinance, which would delay the Project.
• Recommendations: Approval.
• Attachments: Ordinance and Location Map
Recommended Action: Approval

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
\ AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize acquisition of property in fee simple for the
Sandbridge Road - Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-A Project, CIP 100356
(formerly CIP 2-078), VDOT UPC 113196, and the acquisition of temporary
and permanent easements, either by agreement or condemnation.
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 5, 2021
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
• Background: Sandbridge Road is the only public road in and out of the Sandbridge
area of Virginia Beach. It is a narrow, low-lying, 2-lane road, with no shoulder. Ditches
line the travel lanes, and the road has several curves. Any obstruction to the roadway,
such as a disabled vehicle or stormwater ponding, causes traffic to be disrupted for miles,
making it difficult for emergency vehicles to access Sandbridge. At times, Sandbridge
Road traffic is impaired to such a degree that the City must seek permission from the
United States Navy to use the Oceana/Dam Neck Annex roads to allow traffic to move
out of Sandbridge.
The Sandbridge Road — Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-A Project (the "Project") is for the
improvement of a 1.1 mile portion of Sandbridge Road ending at Sandpiper Road. The
goal for the Project is to improve both safety and resiliency. The Project will improve
safety by replacing the existing Sandbridge Road with a straightened, 2-lane, undivided
roadway. The new road will have 8 feet of shoulder (4' pavement and 4' soft shoulder) to
provide a recovery area to allow disabled vehicles to pull out of the travel lanes. It will
have a shared-use path and on-road bike lanes within a 160-foot-wide right-of-way, to
allow bicyclists and pedestrians to travel together, without lane conflicts. The Project
includes raising the roadway elevation to account for 3 feet of sea level rise and
improvements to the storm drainage system, which together will reduce the number of
days Sandbridge Road is obstructed by ponding stormwater. The Project will also install
new LED street lighting and new water lines. The Project first appeared in the FY 2014-
15 CIP.
• Considerations: The Project will require property and easements from 10 privately
owned parcels. No people or businesses will be displaced by the Project. Authority is
requested to acquire the necessary property and easements (temporary and permanent)
by agreement or condemnation.
• Public Information: A Citizen's Information meeting was held on December 10, 2015.
A Citizen's Information Meeting for the Nimmo Parkway Corridor was held on September
26, 2018. An advertised public hearing will be held on October 5, 2021, and public notice
will be provided via the normal City Council agenda process.
• Alternatives: Deny the Ordinance, which will delay the Project.
• Recommendations: Approval.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance Adding Chapter 35.5 of the City Code Pertaining to Commercial
Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-Pace) Financing and Resiliency Program
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
■ Background: The General Assembly has authorized localities to undertake a
Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Program. C-PACE offers a
financing option for commercial property owners and new construction developers to
fund clean energy systems, resiliency improvements, and stormwater management
improvements. By leveraging a voluntary assessment lien against participating
properties, C-PACE financing is generally less expensive than commercial loans. A C-
PACE program may be structured to utilize only private capital, and all billing and
collection for C-PACE loans may be undertaken by a third party administrator.
In May 2020, the City Council directed the City Manager study the feasibility and
desirability of implementation of C-PACE in Virginia Beach. Initially, the staff intended
to utilize the program developed by the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and
Energy (DMME), but because of delays in the DMME program, the staff pivoted to a
cooperative opportunity using a contract from Loudoun County.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance is based on a model C-PACE
ordinance promulgated and implemented in approximately ten other Virginia localities.
The ordinance conforms with the 2021 legislative updates to the C-PACE enabling
legislation. If adopted, the staff will pursue finalization of the cooperative agreement
with the same vendor engaged by Loudoun County to act as program administrator.
Once under contract, the program administrator with create a program guide, which will
incorporate best practices and lessons learned by other Virginia C-PACE programs.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process. A public hearing for this item was held on September 21 ,
2021 , and prior to that hearing two notices were published in the BEACON on
September 5 and 12.
• Attachments: Ordinance; Ordinance Exhibit; Va. Code § 15.2-958.3

323 assessed as a percentage fee of the C-PACE Loan paid at closing. The amount(s)

343 issuing a Request for Proposal for a Program Administrator. In either event, the
344 City may authorize other Virginia jurisdictions to cooperatively procure the services
345 of the City's Program Administrator. Program Administrator shall indemnify, defend
346 and hold the City harmless against any claim brought against the City or any
347 liability imposed on the City as a result of any action or omission to act by Program
348 Administrator in a jurisdiction to which its program administration agreement with
349 the City was extended under such joint and cooperative procurement.
350
351 (p) Program Guide. The Program Guide shall be developed by the Program
352 Administrator under the direction of and in consultation with the Program Manager.

354 effective only(i)to the extent that the Program Guide and such amendments do not
355 contravene this Chapter or the C-PACE Act, and (ii) after review by the City
356 Attorney and written approval by Program Manager. The Program Guide will be
357 designed to create an open, competitive, and efficient Program. The Program

370 Office. The C-PACE Lien shall be evidenced by the recordation of a C-PACE
371 Certificate in the Clerk's Office.

384 Borrower has obtained a written subordination agreement, in a form and
385 substance acceptable to each prior lienholder in its sole and exclusive discretion,
386 executed by the holder of each mortgage or deed of trust lien on the Property and

388 of the C-PACE Lien, Borrower has delivered an executed Borrower Certification
389 to the City in connection with the C-PACE Loan closing. Only the current C-PACE
390 Payment and any Delinquent Payments shall constitute a first lien on the Property.
391 The C-PACE Lien shall run with the land and that portion of the C-PACE Lien
392 under the C-PACE Program Agreement that has not yet become due shall not be
393 eliminated by foreclosure of a real property tax lien.
394
395 Ld) Amendment of Lien. Upon written request by a Capital Provider in accordance with

421 other party or participant acknowledge and agree, for the benefit of the City and as a

§ 15.2-958.3. Financing clean energy, resiliency, and stormwater
management programs.
A. Any locality may,by ordinance, authorize contracts to provide loans for the initial acquisition
and installation of clean energy,resiliency,or stormwater management improvements with free
and willing property owners of both existing properties and new construction,provided,
however, that such loans may not be used to improve a residential dwelling with fewer than five
dwelling units or a residential condominium as defined in § 55.1-2000. Such an ordinance shall
include the following:
1. The kinds of renewable energy production and distribution facilities, energy usage efficiency
improvements,resiliency improvements,water usage efficiency improvements, or stormwater
management improvements for which loans may be offered. Resiliency improvements may
include mitigation of flooding or the impacts of flooding or stormwater management
improvements with a preference for natural or nature-based features and living shorelines as
defined in § 28.2-104.1;
2. The proposed arrangement for such loan program, including(i) a statement concerning the
source of funding that will be used to pay for work performed pursuant to the contracts; (ii)the
time period during which contracting property owners would repay the loan; and(iii)the method
of apportioning all or any portion of the costs incidental to financing, administration, and
collection of the arrangement among the consenting property owners and the locality;
3. (i)A minimum dollar amount that may be financed with respect to a property, (ii)if a locality
or other public body is originating the loans, a maximum aggregate dollar amount that may be
financed with respect to loans originated by the locality or other public body, and(iii)provisions
that the loan program may approve a loan application submitted within two years of the locality's
issuance of a certificate of occupancy or other evidence that the clean energy,resiliency, or
stormwater management improvements comply substantially with the plans and specifications
previously approved by the locality and that such loan may refinance or reimburse the property
owner for the total costs of such improvements;
4. In the case of a loan program described in clause(ii) of subdivision 3, a method for setting
requests from property owners for financing in priority order in the event that requests appear
likely to exceed the authorization amount of the loan program. Priority shall be given to those
requests from property owners who meet established income or assessed property value
eligibility requirements;
5. Identification of a local official authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the locality. A
locality may contract with a third party for professional services to administer such loan
program;
6. Identification of any fee that the locality intends to impose on the property owner requesting to
participate in the loan program to offset the cost of administering the loan program. The fee may
be assessed as a program fee paid by the property owner requesting to participate in the program;
and
7. A draft contract specifying the terms and conditions proposed by the locality.
B. The locality may combine the loan payments required by the contracts with billings for water
or sewer charges,real property tax assessments,or other billings; in such cases,the locality may
establish the order in which loan payments will be applied to the different charges. The locality
may not combine its billings for loan payments required by a contract authorized pursuant to this
section with billings of another locality or political subdivision, including an authority operating
pursuant to Chapter 51 (§ 15.2-5100 et seq.),unless such locality or political subdivision has
given its consent by duly adopted resolution or ordinance.
C. The locality shall offer private lending institutions the opportunity to participate in local loan
programs established pursuant to this section.
D. In order to secure the loan authorized pursuant to this section,the locality shall place a
voluntary special assessment lien equal in value to the loan against any property where such
clean energy systems,resiliency improvements, or stormwater management improvements are
being installed. The locality may bundle or package said loans for transfer to private lenders in
such a manner that would allow the voluntary special assessment liens to remain in full force to
secure the loans. The placement of a voluntary special assessment lien shall not require a new
assessment on the value of the real property that is being improved under the loan program.
E. A voluntary special assessment lien on real property:
1. Shall have the same priority status as a property tax lien against real property, except that such
voluntary special assessment lien shall have priority over any previously recorded mortgage or
deed of trust lien only if(i) a written subordination agreement, in a form and substance
acceptable to each prior lienholder in its sole and exclusive discretion, is executed by the holder
of each mortgage or deed of trust lien on the property and recorded with the special assessment
lien in the land records where the property is located, and(ii) evidence that the property owner is
current on payments on loans secured by a mortgage or deed of trust lien on the property and on
property tax payments,that the property owner is not insolvent or in bankruptcy proceedings,
and that the title of the benefited property is not in dispute is submitted to the locality prior to
recording of the special assessment lien;
2. Shall run with the land, and that portion of the assessment under the assessment contract that
has not yet become due is not eliminated by foreclosure of a property tax lien;
3. May be enforceable by the local government in the same manner that a property tax lien
against real property may be enforced by the local government. A local government shall be
entitled to recover costs and expenses, including attorney fees, in a suit to collect a delinquent
installment of an assessment in the same manner as in a suit to collect a delinquent property tax;
and
4. May incur interest and penalties for delinquent installments of the assessment in the same
manner as delinquent property taxes.
F. Prior to the enactment of an ordinance pursuant to this section, a public hearing shall be held
at which interested persons may object to or inquire about the proposed loan program or any of
its particulars. The public hearing shall be advertised once a week for two successive weeks in a
newspaper of general circulation in the locality.
G. The Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy shall serve as a statewide sponsor for a clean
energy financing program that meets the requirements of this section. The Department of Mines,
Minerals and Energy shall engage a private entity through a competitive selection process to
develop and administer the program.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize acquisition of property in fee simple for the
construction of a City-operated dredge transfer station to serve the Eastern
Branch Lynnhaven River Dredging Project (CIP 100152) either by agreement or
condemnation
PUBLIC HEARING: September 21, 2021
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
Background: The Eastern Branch Lynnhaven River Dredging Project (CIP
100152) (the "Project") will require land and improvements to construct a permanent
dredged materials transfer site. The City has ongoing responsibilities for maintenance
dredging of the Eastern Branch of the Lynnhaven River. The City also provides support
for federal operations to maintain Canal No. 2, among other municipal projects. The
Project restores the channel to a depth that allows the safe passage of commercial and
recreational watercraft. Dredging and maintenance operations are vital to the City to
preserve safe navigation and for flood control. However, operations have been stymied
by the inability to identify a suitable site for dredged materials to be transferred from the
water to trucks for ultimate disposition in an appropriate location. A dredged materials
transfer site must be navigable for dredge equipment and barges and ideally have
commercial street access for tandem axle dump trucks to haul the dredged materials.
A site meeting the requirements for a transfer station has now been identified at 2540
Virginia Beach Boulevard (GPINs: 1497-75-2263-0000, 1497-75-2263-2540, and 1497-
75-2263-2541), which would be acquired in its entirety. The site is developed with a
two-unit condominium office building that is currently vacant. This site's location would
minimize the offloading and truck traffic impacts to nearby commercial and residential
communities due to the proximity of the water's edge to Virginia Beach Boulevard.
General operational conditions involving job site safety, cleanliness, permitting,
performance, noise, roadway traffic, pollution, and notices to the surrounding
communities will be implemented.
Considerations: The last significant dredging of the Eastern Branch of the
Lynnhaven River was completed in 1991. A 2004 survey of the channel revealed some
areas already beginning to shoal. Based on the rate of shoaling, it is evident that the
channel will require significant ongoing maintenance. The acquisition of a permanent
transfer site will allow the City to operate frequent dredging cycles to maintain the
channels. Channel dimensions to be maintained are approximately five (5) miles in
length and sixty (60) feet in width.
▪ Funding: The acquisition will be funded by CIP 100152 (Eastern Branch
Lynnhaven River Dredging Project).
■ Public Information: A public hearing held on September 21, 2021, and public
notice provided via the normal City Council agenda process.
a Alternatives: Deny the request, which will delay the Project while an alternative
site is located.
▪ Recommendations: Approve the Ordinance.

all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee shall

ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of
Understanding with Atlantis Preservation LP to Fund and Implement
Programming For Residents of the Atlantis Apartments and to Accept and
Appropriate Funding from Atlantis Preservation LP
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
• Background: The City's Department of Parks and Recreation, Youth Opportunity
Office ("City"), is proposing to partner with Atlantis Preservation LP ("AP") to bring critical
community services to six hundred residents of the Atlantis Apartments located at 999
Atlantis Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia. AP is a real estate company committed to the
creation and preservation of affordable housing. AP acquired the Atlantis Apartments in
July 2021.
AP has agreed to provide a cash donation to the City in an amount not to exceed twenty-
five thousand dollars per year for three consecutive years ("Donation"). The Donation will
be used by the City to support and manage the implementation and operation of programs
and activities that benefit residents of the Atlantis Apartments. Specifically, programming
is designed to increase the stability of low to moderate income households by creating
access to empowerment and stewardship strategies.
• Considerations: Under the terms of the proposed memorandum of understanding
("MOU"), the City will deliver no less than four programs per calendar year that directly
benefit the residents of the Atlantis Apartments. The programming will be conducted at
the Atlantis Apartments, at Parks and Recreation facilities, or on other City property. Most
programs will take place over a four-to-six-week time period and will cover topics such as
health and wellness, financial literacy, employment, civic engagement and cultural affairs.
The City will use funding from AP to support the operational costs of administering the
programming, including staffing, technology costs and online education.
The proposed MOU requires AP to provide a representative to work with the City to
develop a shared agenda and identifiable metrics for the programming. AP will use
commercially reasonable efforts to attend planning meetings with the City and to identify
implementation needs, assessment and evaluation plans, and future needs of the
residents. Both the City and AP will assist with data collection and will report data related
to the programming to each other.
Expected program outcomes include increased employment among the 16-21-year age
group, increased community involvement, increased civic participation, improved health
and wellness, improved relations between the community and law enforcement, and
improved relations between Atlantis residents and the surrounding communities.
The proposed MOU does not require an additional or matching donation from the City
and does not require the City to commit any personnel to support the Donation.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
_a _ AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Authorize a Grant in the Amount of $200,000 to the Hampton
Roads Workforce Council for Mental Health Worker Recruitment and Retention
Bonuses
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
• Background: Throughout the pandemic, there has been a rise in cases of mental
health or substance use in the United States. In an early study published by the Centers
for Disease Control in 2020, nearly 40% of all American adults surveyed reported mental
health or substance use struggles during one examined week alone. As the pandemic
has continued, utilization of mental health services and beds has reached crisis levels,
with facilities running out of space for extensive treatment. At the same time demand for
service has risen, mental health professional vacancies have increased across the board,
within both the public and private sectors. As a result, as a recent Aon Hospital Benefits
Survey showed, many health care systems have turned to bonus payments, accelerated
hiring, and enhanced benefit offerings to either retain or attract health care workers.
Similarly, in attempts to counteract some of their staffing level challenges, the
Commonwealth of Virginia invested funds into retention bonuses for direct care staff at
the Commonwealth's behavioral health facilities and made a commitment to examine
salaries for Commonwealth direct care positions in the forthcoming state budget.
Members of the City Council have expressed an interest in supporting mental health care
providers and overall access to mental health care. To assist with the recruitment and
retention of mental health workers here in Virginia Beach, the City can partner with
Hampton Roads Workforce Council to create a program whereby non-profit and private
mental health providers can access funds to support recruitment and retention efforts of
staff within Virginia Beach.
• Considerations: This program will be modeled after the program established at
the July 6, 2021 City Council meeting to provide hiring incentives within the tourism
industry. The cash incentive or bonus is $1,000. The recipient would need to serve for
a minimum of 30 days prior to accessing the bonus and commit to continuing to serve as
a mental health provider for a minimum of six months thereafter.
The total balance of the special emergent needs reserve is currently $7,377,181. This
amount was specifically appropriated to address City Council priorities and initiatives at
the September 21, 2021 City Council meeting as a part of the FY 2020-21 to FY 2021-22
Carry Forward item.

The Hispanic Resources Center of Coastal Virginia was prematurely opened March 25th of 2020,
in the midst of one of the worst health crisis in the contemporary history of the United States:
the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus COVID-19, in order to provide support and
resources to the Hispanic community living on the Virginia Coast, who- according to official
figures from the Virginia Department of Health - accounted for at that time, about 46%of the
cases of infections, where ethnic origin was provided.
This pandemic did not only bring a health crisis, but it also affected us all in so many ways. With
the closure of businesses, we faced severe economic hardship throughout the community.
Thousands of families were left without a job. Children faced educational challenges due to
school closings and virtual learning. These reasons led us to open before our March 01, 2021,
grand opening.
To better serve our community were join forces with different organizations and community
groups. This allowed us to supply the basic healthcare, food, and economic needs to our
community.
Within 30 days of our opening, we were able to offer COVID-19 testing thru the assistance of
our partners at Sentara. In addition, we held weekly food distributions with the collaboration of
many local restaurant businesses, and the donations of Mr. Pharrell Williams. Further down the
road we were able to partner with Peninsula Food Bank as well.
Our community services gained the interest of our local United Way who has become one of
our partners and has allowed the HRC to case manage families applying for financial emergency
assistance thru their Unite us Portal link. This has been of great assistance, as we have been
able to alleviate the language barriers within the community. As Hispanic community members
can be serviced thru the HRC in their native language. This has allowed us to gain the trust
withing our community.
The HRC has held Health Fairs of great magnitude, in which different organizations met to
provide, free of charge and in Spanish, all kinds of useful information regarding health and
disease prevention, education, immigration, prevention of domestic violence, among many
others. We have served thousands of members of our community from all different walks of life
and ethnicities.
We offer the following programs:
* We organize conferences focused on health prevention and the integral well-being of our
clients, making available free COVID-19 exams, Influenza vaccines or information on
cardiovascular or ocular health, as well as making referrals for organizations in their area that
can provide free or low-cost health services, among others.
* We focus on connecting our clients with other services, such as support services for victims of
domestic violence, we also help them fill out applications for food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare,
among others.
* We offer guidance in civil services related to the defense of human rights, labor rights, among
others.
* We have free document translation services and Spanish-English interpretation services for
our clients. We also notarize documents, as we have 2 notaries in the office.
* We connect the community of the area with the Consulates of their respective countries of
origin, collaborating with application procedures for passports, birth certificates or death
certificates, cyclical records, powers of attorney, among others.
* We offer transportation service to Consulates located in DC and Maryland, scheduled monthly
whenever the conditions for travel are given in the middle of the Pandemic.
* We offer educational tutoring for elementary to high school students, in addition, counseling
in Spanish to parents and guardians, connecting them with schools,teachers, available
programs, helping them fill out college applications, etc.
* We offer basic information on immigration issues and connect our clients with Lawyers.
* We promote meetings with officials, legislators, and elected representatives in the state to
serve as the voice of the community.
* We participate in local, state, and national meetings
Currently the HRC has been heavily involved in vaccination outreach to the Hispanic
Community. We have held over 300 vaccination clinics with the assistance of Sentara,
Chesapeake Regional, Riverside and Hampton University Mobile Unit. So far, we have
vaccinated over 20,000 Hispanics throughout Hampton Roads and counting. We have provided
translation services for several vaccination clinics as well as health literature, PSA and seminars
to our community informing them of the importance of getting vaccinated.
Together we help families achieve integral well-being,this is our passion: to serve- connect-
empower, educate, and support our community. It is amazing to say that we have been able to
accomplish this due to the support of our volunteers and community members. We are very
grateful for the generosity of the contributions we have received to stay operational.
In continuing our effort to offer education and awareness to our communities. The Hispanic
Resource Center prides itself in being a diverse equitable and inclusive organization that
provides education and exposure of the Latin cultures. Our yearly Hispanic Heritage Celebration
event will educate and bring communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures
through innovative dance productions and strengthen our diverse community. Hispanic
Heritage Month celebrates the history and countless contributions that Latinos have made to
the nation over the years. This month we also honor the cultural richness of Hispanics, who
come from Mexico, Central America,South America, and the Caribbean.
It is celebrated from September 15 to October 15.
This time was chosen because there are several Latin American independence days celebrated
during that time, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (who
all celebrate their Independence Day on September 15th), Mexico (which celebrates its
Independence Day on September 16th) and Chile (which celebrates its Independence Day on
September 17th). We celebrate our heritage by educating and brining a deeper insight to the
different Latin customs and cultures from all over Latin America.
The total cost for this event is 150K. Our event date is scheduled for the 15th of October. We
currently have the support of Sentara, Que Pasa Virgina, Lisc, Hampton Roads Foundation,
Dominion Energy, and the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept $42,709 from the Commonwealth for Community
Corrections and Pretrial Services
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
• Background: In the fall of 1994, the Virginia General Assembly held a Special
Session to consider legislative measures related to crime enforcement. Among the acts
passed that special session was an omnibus bill that included provisions authorizing local
governments to establish community-based probation agencies as well as pretrial
services. Virginia Beach established both. Today, these agencies are operated as the
Division of Community Corrections and Pretrial Services within the Department of Human
Services. Community Corrections provides sentencing alternatives, such as community
service, home incarceration, electronic monitoring, and substance use disorder testing
and treatment, for individuals convicted of certain misdemeanors or non-violent felonies
that carry jail sentences of 12 months or less. The Pretrial Services program provides
information and investigative services to judicial officers to help judges and magistrates
decide if an individual awaiting trial ought to be held or if such individual can be released
under supervision.
In support of the legislation enacted in 1994, the General Assembly provides annual
appropriations to allow cities and counties in the Commonwealth to sponsor and maintain
these services. Virginia Beach has received Community Corrections and Pretrial Services
grants from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services since FY 1996.
• Considerations: The City budgets funding for Community Corrections and Pretrial
Services in the Operating Budget. The amount estimated in the FY2021-22 Operating
Budget is based on the amount in the prior year. In the Commonwealth's recent revision
to the biennial budget, Chapter 552 of the Acts of Assembly 2021 Special Session I, the
amount provided by the Commonwealth increased by $42,709, so this action is needed
to recognize the increase in funding from the Commonwealth.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: LYNNHAVEN DIVE CENTER, LLC [Applicant] BLUE WATER PROPERTIES,
LLC & SLMD, LLLC [Property Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Vocational
School) & Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision
Regulations for Lot Width) for the properties located at 2204 Poplar Point
Road & 1413 North Great Neck Road (GPINs 2408185832, 2408185645).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
■ Background:
The applicant seeks to relocate and expand the existing dive facility to the
adjoining parcel along Poplar Point Road. The proposed 9,000 square foot diver
training and certification operation is classified as a Vocational School per the
City's Zoning Ordinance. A Conditional Use Permit is required for vocational
schools greater than 7,500 square feet when located in the B-2 Community
Business District. This operation also includes the maintenance of the existing
retail portion of the business in a separate building, which will continue to front
along Great Neck Road.
As part of the upgrades to the business, the applicant also seeks to consolidate
five parcels into a single "L-shaped" lot that will have frontages on N. Great Neck
Road and Poplar Point Road. Per the Subdivision Ordinance, a parcel's minimum
lot width is measured at the narrowest portion fronting a public street, which is
Poplar Point Road in this instance. The minimum lot width for a parcel located
within the B-2 Community Business is 100 feet. The proposed lot is 92.5 feet wide
on Poplar Point Road; therefore, a Subdivision Variance is required.
A large in-ground swimming pool, classrooms and offices are planned within the
new diver training building. The submitted elevations depict a building with a metal
roof, fiber cement siding, split face CMU base, and an imitation beach grass
canopy that matches the existing retail building.
• Considerations:
The request will improve the aesthetics of the area while providing expanded
space to operate, both of which contributes to the educational support and
recreational amenities for Virginia Beach residents who desire to obtain diver
training and certification.
Lynnhaven Dive Center, LLC
Page 2 of 3
Per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance, a minimum of 17 parking spaces are
required for the proposed 9,000 square foot dive facility that contains 34 seats;
and 8 parking spaces are required for the 2,000 square foot retail building. The
submitted layout depicts 24 on-site parking spaces. Based on the deficiency that
has existed prior to this application, the commercial center has a shared parking
agreement with the adjacent retail property to the north in order to address the
deficiency. Based on Section 203(b)(10) of the Zoning Ordinance, shared parking
can be accommodated between properties within 500 feet; therefore, the parking
requirement is met.
The proposed redevelopment of the property includes a reduction in the number
of vehicular ingress/egress points along North Great Neck Road from two to one,
thereby reducing potential conflict points and improving safety. Streetscape and
foundation plantings are proposed where none exist today, thereby bringing the
property into compliance with these minimum required standards. Further details
pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the
attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant seeks to expand and relocate the existing dive facility to the adjoining parcel.The proposed facility is
9,000 square feet and offers diving training and certification,which for zoning purposes is classified as a Vocational
School.A Conditional Use Permit is required for vocational schools greater than 7,500 square feet in the B-2
Community Business District.
• The applicant also seeks to consolidate five parcels into a single lot.The new"L-Shape"configuration will have
frontages on N. Great Neck Road and Poplar Point Road.The Subdivision Ordinance measures lot width at the
narrowest portion fronting a public street,which is Poplar Point Road in this instance.The minimum lot width for a
lot located within the B-2 Community Business is 100 feet.The proposed lot is 92.5 feet wide on Poplar Point Road;
therefore,a Subdivision Variance is required.
• The submitted elevations depict a building with a metal roof,fiber cement siding,split face CMU base, and an
imitation beach grass canopy that matches the existing retail building.
• Per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance, a minimum of 17 parking spaces are required for the proposed 9,000
square foot dive facility that contains 34 seats; and 8 parking spaces are required for the 2,000 square foot retail
building.The submitted layout depicts 24 on-site parking spaces. Based on the deficiency that has existed prior to
this application,the commercial center has a shared parking agreement with the adjacent retail property to the
north in order to address the deficiency. Based on Section 203(b)(10) of the Zoning Ordinance,shared parking can
be accommodated between properties within 500 feet;therefore,the parking requirement is met.
• The proposed redevelopment of the property includes a reduction in the number of vehicular ingress/egress points
along North Great Neck Road from two to one.
• Streetscape and foundation plantings are proposed where none exist today,thereby bringing the property into
compliance with these minimum required standards.
• The proposed hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m.,Saturday from 9:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m.,
and Sunday from 10:00 a.m.to 4:00 p.m.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request to expand and relocate the existing dive facility to the adjoining parcel and to consolidate the parcels into a
single lot, in Staff's opinion, is acceptable.The existing 3,050 square foot dive facility and associated 2,000 square foot
retail store currently operates at 1413 N. Great Neck Road. With this proposal,the dive facility will be relocated to the
adjoining parcel while the retail store will remain at its current location.The dive facility will be expanded to 9,000
square feet to include a large in-ground swimming pool, classrooms, and offices.The request will improve the aesthetics
of the area while providing expanded space to operate, both of which contributes to the educational support and
recreational amenities for Virginia Beach residents who desire to obtain diver training and certification.This is in line
with the recommendations for the Suburban Area identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations states:
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,and the
character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the
formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance.
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and
topography,or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property,or by the use or
development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be
considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.
E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at
the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance.
As mentioned above,the proposal also includes the consolidation of five parcels into a single lot with frontages on N.
Great Neck Road and Poplar Point Road.The proposed "L-Shape" is 35,300 square feet in size, exceeding the minimum
lot area of 20,000 square feet requirement of the B-2 Community Business District.The minimum lot width of 100 feet is
Lynnhaven Dive Center, LLC
Agenda Items 3 &4
Page 3
met for the property line along N. Great Neck Road.The lot width along Poplar Point Road is 7.5 feet shy of meeting the
minimum lot width requirement;thereby, necessitating the need for the variance. The request would reduce the degree
of nonconformity by consolidating the five smaller parcels into one large lot, meeting the requirements of Section 9.3 of
the Subdivision Regulations.
The Conceptual Planting Plan indicates the closure of one of the two access points on N.Great Neck Road;thereby,
improving traffic movements and reducing the potential for conflicts. In addition,with the redevelopment of the site,
the required streetscape and foundation plantings will be installed which are lacking today,thereby, bringing the site
into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance's landscape screening requirements.
In sum,as the proposal will bring the site into compliance with current regulations regarding lot area by consolidation of
properties, the required streetscape and foundation plantings, and the design will improve motorist and pedestrian
safety with the reduction in the number of access points on N. Great Neck Road, Staff recommends approval of these
requests subject to the conditions noted below.

Blue Water Properties, LLC & SLMD, LLC [Property Owners]
Conditional Use Permit (Vocational School)
Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations)
2204 Poplar Point Road, 1413 N. Great Neck Road
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL—CONSENT
Mr. Wall: The next agenda item is actually two items, agenda items three and four for
Lynnhaven Dive Center for conditional use permit for vocational school, as well as
subdivision variance, section 4.4(b) of the subdivision regulations. The address is
2204, Poplar Point Road and 1413 North Great Neck Road. Is their representative
for this item?
Mr. Rossfear: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. Rossfear with Access Global Enterprises
representing Lynnhaven Dive Center.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, are the conditions acceptable?
Mr. Rossfear: They are.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Rossfear: I'm very much looking forward to this project. This is a four-year project.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda?
Mr. Rossfear: Not that I know.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Go ahead.
Mr. Rossfear: I just wanted to say on behalf of the family that is building this, this is a 40 year old
project. Lynnhaven Dive Center has been serving the community for 40 years,just
recently, Big Mike Hiller, passed away fighting an 18 year battle with cancer. And
there's a great photo of him and his son, little Luke at the time, and Mike digging
this pool originally out by hand back in the early 80s. And they're very excited now
to bring a whole new generation of divers and swim leaders in the community. So
we're very excited about it.
1
Mr. Wall: Thank you. That's great. Thank you. We've asked Mr. Graham to read this into the
record.
Mr. Graham: Thank you, Vice Chairman. And as the applicant's representative said, it's been
there a long time; I was actually certified to Scuba Dive there in 1987. So this is a
conditional use permit application as well as a subdivision variance application,
and the applicant seeks to expand and relocate the existing dive facility to the
adjoining parcel. The proposed facility is 9000 square feet that's 7000 square foot
new building and 2000 square foot existing building and offers scuba diving training
and certification, which for zoning purposes is classified as a vocational school. A
conditional use permit is required for a vocational school greater than 7500 square
feet in the B2 community business district.The applicant also seeks to consolidate
five parcels into a single lot. The new L shaped configuration will have frontage on
North Great Neck Road and Poplar Point Road, a minimum lot width of 100 feet is
required. The proposed lot is 92.5 feet wide on Poplar Point Road; therefore,
subdivision variance is required, the subdivision I mean they submitted elevations
are similar in design as to what's there today. The proposed development on the
property includes reduction of the number of ingress/egress points from two to one;
streetscape and foundation plantings are proposed which don't exist today. Staff
recommends approval and we agree with staff and recommend approval of this
item.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair that was the last item on the consent agenda. I move
for approval of agenda items 1, 2, 3 and four, 5 and 10.
Mr. Weiner: All right, we have a motion for approval. We have a second.
Ms. Oliver: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, second by Mrs. Oliver.
Madam Clerk: The vote is open. By recorded vote of 10 in favor, zero against agenda items 1, 2,
3, 4, 5 and 10 have been approved by consent.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: TVT I, LLC D/B/A TOWER VENTURES C/O LOU KATZERMAN [Applicant]
PLEASANT VALLEY ASSOCIATES, LLC [Property Owner] Modification of
Conditions to a Conditional Use Permit (Communication Tower) for the
property located at 4221 Pleasant Valley Road (GPIN 1475047711). COUNCIL
DISTRICT — CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
• Background:
In 2008, City Council granted a Conditional Use Permit for the installation of a 132-
foot high flagpole communication tower on this property. The tower was
constructed following the approval; however, it was removed from the site in 2017.
A new operator, the applicant, seeks to install a new 134-foot high "monopine"
communication tower (a tower designed to resemble a pine tree) at the same
location. As the proposed tower will have a significantly different design than what
was previously approved and is taller by two feet, a Modification of Conditions
request is required.
The 800 square foot lease area is within the existing parking lot, occupying up to
four parking spaces in the rear parking lot of the Pleasant Valley shopping center.
The 2008 Conditional Use Permit included a deviation to the setback requirement
from 50 feet to 43 feet along the residentially zoning properties to the west and a
variance to the screening and landscaping requirements.
• Considerations:
The proposal includes installation of a tower at the same location and will be of
similar height to the previously approved tower, albeit in the shape of a very large
pine tree. According to the applicant, the proposed tower cannot accommodate
internal antennas due to compatibility for the 5G equipment. While the previous
tower was designed as a flagpole with internal antennas, the proposed tower will
have external antennas and mimic the shape of a pine tree in order to satisfy the
terms of the lease that requires that the tower be of a stealth design, hence this
alternative design.
The submitted plans are stamped and signed by a professional engineer, thereby
meeting the requirement that necessitates certification of the communication tower
to comply with all applicable regulations promulgated by the Federal
Communications Commission.

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 August 11, 2021 , the Planning Commission placed this application on the
Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to recommend
approval.
1. All conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted on December 2,
2008 are hereby deleted and superseded by the following conditions.
2. The communication tower shall be constructed as a stealth tower as shown on
the site plans entitled, "VA 1005 Sun Devil II," prepared by Foresite Group,
LLC, dated December 28, 2020. The site plan has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Department of
Planning.
3. The tower shall not exceed 134 feet in height (AGL).
4. As provided by Section 232 of the City Zoning Ordinance, the setback
requirement and the landscaping and screening requirements for the tower are
modified to the minimum setback of 40 feet and screening shown on the plans
referenced in Condition 2 above.
5. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities
results from the use of this tower and antennas, the user(s) shall take all
measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the
interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall
immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.
6. As required by Section 232(r)(4) of the City Zoning Ordinance, should the
antennas cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year, the applicant
shall remove the tower, antennas and related equipment from the property
within ninety (90) days.
7. No signage shall be permitted on the communication tower.
8. The lease area, as depicted on the site plans entitled, "VA 1005 Sun Devil II,"
prepared by Foresite Group, LLC, dated December 28, 2020, shall be
surrounded by a solid fence, including the gate, with a minimum height of six
(6) feet. Chain link or barbed wire shall not be permitted.

Evaluation & Recommendation
While the previous tower was designed as a flagpole with internal antennas,the proposed tower will have external
antennas and mimic the shape of a pine tree. As the tower location is in a very populated area and in an area where
large, tall pine trees are not abundant, Staff requested that the applicant consider a redesign to be more in line with the
currently approved flagpole tower. According to the applicant, the proposed tower cannot accommodate internal
antennas due to compatibility for the 5G equipment. Since there are no trees or tall buildings in the vicinity of the lease
area of the tower, in Staff's view the monopine tower may be out of character with the surrounding area. The submitted
plans are stamped and signed by a professional engineer thereby meeting the requirement that necessitates

certification of the communication tower to comply with all applicable regulations promulgated by the Federal

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property in the Suburban Area,which encompasses the preservation
and protection of the overall character,economic value,and aesthetic quality of the existing surrounding
neighborhoods.The Reference Handbook adopted by the Comprehensive Plan specifies achieving a good quality general
community appearance.Therefore, proposed developments and facilities must ensure to complement the character of
the surrounding community. All development should incorporate environmentally sensitive design that protects the
integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual
quality of the street, neighboring properties and communities.Therefore,the proposed stealth tower offers a solution
that would better incorporate such facility to the surrounding uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is within the Southern Rivers Watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils,and high water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters.There are no known cultural resources on the site.

TVT I, dba Tower Ventures do Lou Katzerman [Applicant]
Pleasant Valley Associates, LLC [Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions (Communication Tower)
4221 Pleasant Valley Road
August 11, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is Item#9 TVT I, LLC, d/b/a
Tower Ventures c/o Lou Katzerman and Pleasant Valley Associates who is the
property owner. This is for Modifications of Conditions for a Communications
Tower. Is there a representative for this item? Could you please state your name
for the record?
Mr. Katzerman: Lou Katzerman.
Mr. Wall: And are the conditions acceptable?
Mr. Katzerman: Yes sir, thank you.
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda? Hearing
none, we've asked Mr. Graham to read this into the record.
Mr. Graham: Thank you. This is an application by TVT I, LLC, d/b/a Tower Ventures c/o Lou
Katzerman. This is at the Pleasant Valley Shopping Center. This is a request for
Modifications of Conditions for a Communication Tower. In 2008, City Council
granted a Conditional Use Permit for the installation of 132-foot high flagpole
communication tower on this property. The approval included a deviation to the
setback and the screening and landscaping requirements. The tower was
constructed following the approval, however, it was removed from the site in 2017.
A new cell tower operator, the applicant, seeks to install a new 134-foot high
monopine communication tower. This is a cell tower designed to resemble a pine
tree at the location. As the proposed tower will have a significantly different design
than what was previously approved and is taller by two feet, a Modification of
Conditions is requested. While the previous tower was designed as a flagpole with
internal antennas, the proposed tower will have external antennas and mimic the
shape of a pine tree. Staff has asked the applicant to consider a different design
more of a flagpole. However, the pine tree design apparently has -- the previous
design cannot accommodate the internal antennas. So anyway, planning staff
recommends approval, and we agree with planning staff.

Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you, Mr. Coston. 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
the Planning Commission support the applications and there are no speakers
signed up in opposition. These are agenda items number 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
Mr. Chair that was the last item on the consent agenda. I move for approval of
agenda items number 1, 8, 9, 10, 11 and Short-Term Rental items# 13, 14, 15, 16
and 17.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion for approval for the second. We have a motion Mr. Wall as
second by Ms. Oliver and we have any one abstaining?
Mr. Graham: I have a letter pursuant to the state and local government Conflict of Interest Act. I
have a letter on file making the following declaration. The agenda item #1 is
financed by Towne Bank and I hereby make this disclosure that I serve on an
advisory board at Towne Bank, which makes no loan decisions. And I believe that
I can participate in this vote.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Likewise, I would like to make the following declaration. Agenda item #1, being
financed by Towne Bank. I serve on the Advisory Board of Towne Bank, and make
no decision on loans and feel like I can participate fairly in this vote.
Mr. Weiner Mr. Redmond, short term rentals.
Mr. Redmond:Yeah, I am happy to do it now, we are not there yet, but...oh, we are there. Okay,
I have a letter on file with the City Attorney's Office and have for some months. I
have a client who is in the travel industry and has some business that is involved
with short-term rentals, therefore, I do not vote on any Short-Term Rental
applications or any of the ordinances with regard to Short-Term Rentals and I
repeat that that letter,which I renew monthly is on file with the City Attorney.Thank
you.
Mr. Weiner: Madam Clerk, that's everything.
Madam Clerk: Okay, vote is open. By recorded vote of 9 in favor and 0 against agenda items 1,
8, 9, 10 and 11 have been recommended for approval. By recorded vote of 8 in
favor, 0 against with one abstention. Agenda items 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 have

ITEM: YVONNE LEE HYPES LUCAS & ESTHER DIANE SCHNEIDER, CO-
EXECUTRIXES OF THE ESTATE OF VARENIA CRAIG HYPES RYAN
Applicants & Property Owners] Change of Zoning (B-1 Neighborhood
Business to R-5R Residential Resort District) for the property located at
4504 Guam Street (GPIN 1570618235). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
• Background:
The applicant seeks to rezone a 4,945 square foot parcel within the Chesapeake
Beach neighborhood that was platted in the 1930s from B-1 Neighborhood
Business District to R-5R Residential Resort District. While the site is currently
zoned for neighborhood commercial use, the property has been developed with a
single-family dwelling since the 1950s.
• Considerations:
According to the applicant, there are no plans to redevelop the parcel at this time
and the change of zoning request is simply to correct the longstanding
nonconformity, as residential development is not permitted under the current B-1
zoning designation. The proposed zoning is consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood and will ensure that no future commercial use of this site will occur.
A similar request was granted by City Council in 2000 for the adjoining parcel to
the north. In addition, the parcel does not meet the minimum requirements for lot
size, lot width, and building setbacks for property zoned B-1 Neighborhood
Business District. 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 September 8, 2021, the Planning Commission placed this application on the
Consent Agenda passing a motion to recommend approval with a recorded vote
of 10-0.

Agenda Item 5

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant seeks to rezone the 4,945 square foot parcel from B-1 Neighborhood Business District to R-5R
Residential Resort District.
• The property is located within the Shore Drive Suburban Focus Area and was plated in the 1930s.
• While the site is currently zoned for neighborhood commercial use,the property has been developed with a single-
family dwelling since the 1950s.
• Per the applicant,there is no plan to redevelop the parcel at this time and the change of zoning request is simply to
correct the longstanding nonconformity, as residential development is not permitted under the current B-1 zoning
designation.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request to rezone this parcel that is developed with a residential dwelling to a residential zoning district that is
consistent with the surrounding neighborhood will address the nonconformity issue and will ensure that no future
commercial use of this site will occur. A similar request was granted by City Council in 2000 for the adjoining parcel to
the north. In addition,the parcel does not meet the minimum requirements for lot size, lot width, and building setbacks
for property zoned B-1 Neighborhood Business District.
Should the lot be redeveloped in the future,the 4,945 square foot parcel cannot be developed with more than one
dwelling unit since the R-5R Residential District requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet for a duplex and a
minimum of 5,000 square feet for semidetached dwellings.

There will be no impact to City services with this request since the use of the property remains the same,a single-family
dwelling. Rezoning the parcel to R-5R Residential District is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations
for the Suburban Focus Area., as the site is adjacent to properties zoned R-5R to the north,west, and south,the request
is consistent with the surrounding area. Based on the considerations described,Staff recommends approval of this
request.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The subject property is located within the City's suburban area,which the Comprehensive Plan designates for proposed
developments and uses to have compatibility with the existing neighborhood to maintain stability and, ultimately,
maintain the principle of"Great Neighborhoods".Such principle also embodies the preservation and protection of the
overall character,economic value, and aesthetic quality of the existing surrounding neighborhoods.Therefore, new
development or redevelopment projects are to preserve the quality or enhance the existing characteristics of the area,
including protecting the natural environment and the historical and cultural resource.
Additionally,the subject property is located in the Shore Drive Suburban Focus Area (SFA).The Comprehensive Plan
designates SFAs to offer specific land use guidance to advance the City's objectives in improving the quality of land use
and revitalizing certain suburban areas.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.There does not appear to be any significant natural resources
associated with the site.
Traffic Impacts
No impacts to roadways are expected.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
The property is connected to City water.There is an existing six-inch water main along Guam Street.
Sewer
The property is connected to City sanitary sewer.There is an existing eight-inch sanitary sewer gravity main along Guam
Street.

School Impacts

opposition. The staff obviously recommends approval and the commission

Hello, my name is Harold M. Hill and I live next door to the family requesting the Day Care permit at
1109 Malcoms Way.Although I know the family fairly well and we as neighbors have gotten along well.
This is not personal.
I am against the permit request for the following reasons:The development, Birnam Woods is a small
development and has only one entrance. So a fair number of people in the development will be impacted
by parents dropping off their children then leaving. Between pickup and drop off this will occur at least
twice a day.This is a quiet neighborhood with a lot of retired personnel like my self. Mr. Jim Kiraly across
the street from 1109 Malcoms Way didn't receive a notice probably because his house, although directly
across the street faces a cul-de-sac. He doesn't like the idea and would say so if needed. Besides the
noise and congestion twice a day he also has a swimming pool. I also have a swimming pool.We both
have it surrounded with a privacy fence as required, but a child could find a way to circumvent that.
Additionally,this is a short street and parking can be a problem.At their address there is usually 4 to 5
cars already parked without Day Care. Having discussed this news with other neighbors on our street,
they have expressed their concern.And If needed would also respond with concerns.

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

I live at 1116 across the street from 1109 Malcoms Way which is the SHORTEST street in the Birnam Woods sub-
division. As a 30 year resident, I do not support any attempt to commercialize this mixed residential neighborhood filled
with retired and professionals in government, teaching, medical, military, etc.
I have major concerns for traffic safety with regard to pickup and drop-off of kids on the shortest street in the
neighborhood. Many families own multiple cars, including applicant, who park on either side of street. Also, during the
year parking is limited due to lined bags of leaves, brush and tree branches for recycle pickup leaving fewer parking
spaces for visiting family, friends, and sometimes commercial vehicles. Further, there is a school bus stop beside that
home, adding to increased congestion during pickup and drop off of school children.
Birnam Woods is a quiet small neighborhood with one entrance, a semi-perimeter road and two shorter intersecting
streets. With no throughway streets, this unique neighborhood does not lend itself to supporting any business operation.
Please, for the above expressed concerns, DENY this application.
Respectfully,

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: City of Virginia Beach — Ordinance to amend Section 602 of the City Zoning
Ordinance to relocate the dimensional requirement for a thirty (30) foot
setback for yards adjacent to a street in the A-12 through A-36 Apartment
Districts.
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
• Background:
The purpose of this ordinance is to relocate, but not modify, the standard within
Section 602 of the Zoning Ordinance related to the minimum setback for a
structure adjacent to a street in the Apartment Districts. In an apparent attempt to
avoid redundancy, the minimum 30-foot setback requirement for yards adjacent to
a street was placed at the end of the ordinance, in Section 602(g), stating that it
applies to all side yards adjacent to a street in each of the Apartment Districts. The
location of this requirement at the end of the section rather than within the tables
where other dimensional standards are located has often caused the requirement
to be overlooked, creating confusion for Staff, property owners, and the
development community. The proposed amendment removes Section 602(g) and
inserts the 30-foot setback requirement to each of the dimensional requirement
charts in Sections 602(a) through 602(e).
• Considerations:
Placing this requirement within the text that notes all other dimensional
requirements rather than at the end of the section will make it more user-friendly
for Staff and community members. As noted above, the requirement itself is not
changing, simply its location within the ordinance.
• Recommendation:
On September 8, 2021, the Planning Commission placed this this item on the
Consent Agenda passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 to recommend
approval of this request.

Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 602 of the City Zoning Ordinance to relocate the requirement for a thirty(30)foot
setback for a yard adjacent to a street within the A-12 through A-36 Apartment Districts to the dimensional requirement
charts in Section 602(a)through Section 602(e)for each use category.
Summary of Referred Ordinances
The purpose of this ordinance is to relocate, but not modify,the standard within Section 602 of the Zoning Ordinance
related to the minimum setback for a structure adjacent to a street in the Apartment Districts. Placing this requirement
within the text that notes dimensional requirements rather than at the end of the section will make it more user-friendly
for Staff and community members. In an apparent attempt to avoid redundancy,the minimum 30 foot setback
requirement for yards adjacent to a street was placed at the end of the ordinance, in Section 602(g),stating that it
applies to all side yards adjacent to a street in each of the A(Apartment) Districts. This has often caused the
requirement to be overlooked,creating confusion for Staff, property owners,and the development community.The
proposed amendment removes Section 602(g)and inserts the 30-foot setback requirement to each of the dimensional
requirement charts in Sections 602(a)through 602(e).These subsections apply to the different use categories for semi-
detached dwellings,duplex dwellings,attached dwellings (townhouses), multiple-family dwellings, and uses other than
dwellings.The actual setback requirement remains unchanged.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance as it is simply a reformatting of the Code to clarify existing regulations that
will remain in effect.

City of Virginia Beach [Applicant]
An Ordinance to amend Section 602 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to
dimensional requirements in Apartment Districts
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Next we go to the consent agenda and Vice Chair Wall will take over.
Mr. Wall: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have six items on the consent agenda today. The
first item is agenda item number one, City of Virginia Beach an ordinance to amend
section 602 of the city's zoning ordinance pertaining to dimensional requirements
of apartment districts. And we've asked the City to read this into the record. Mr.
Hank Morrison. Actually, state your name for the record.
Mr. Morrison: My name is Hank Morrison.
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this item being placed on the consent agenda?
Mr. Morrison: No, sir.
Mr. Wall: Good. Hearing none, please proceed.
Mr. Morrison: All right, so this request is to amend Section 602 of the City's Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to setbacks for yards adjacent to streets in Al 2 through A36 Apartment
Districts. The purpose of the proposed update is to relocate but not change the
standard related to the 30 foot minimum setback for structures adjacent to streets
in an apartment zoning districts. When it was originally drafted, the requirement for
side yards adjacent to a street was placed at the end of the ordinance stating that
it applies to all side yards adjacent to streets. The location of this requirement has
often causes it to be overlooked, which has created some confusion for city staff
as well as property owners and the development community. So the proposed
amendment would remove section 602G and insert that 30 foot setback
requirement into each of the dimensional requirements and each dimensional
requirement charts in Section 602(A) through 602(E), so staff is recommending
approval of this ordinance as it's essentially just reformatting the code.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair that was the last item on the consent agenda. I move
for approval of agenda items 1, 2, 3 and four, 5 and 10.
Mr. Weiner: All right, we have a motion for approval. We have a second.

Ms. Oliver: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, second by Mrs. Oliver.

add Assembly Uses as a Conditional Use in Historic and Cultural Overlay Districts.
"Assembly Uses" are defined in Section 111 of the Zoning Ordinance as, "uses
that involve the gathering of individuals or groups in one (1) location, such as
arena, assembly halls, auditoriums, bingo halls, civic centers, eleemosynary
establishments, private clubs, union halls and excluding religious uses." In order
to promote the preservation of historic structures, the Zoning Ordinance currently
permits the following conditional uses in Historic and Cultural overlay districts in
addition to the uses permitted in the underlying zoning district:
1. Bed and breakfast inns;
2. Antique shops;
3. Museums and art galleries;
4. Specialty shops; and
5. Offices of nonprofit organizations.
• Considerations:
Adding Assembly Uses as a conditional use will provide property owners with more
options and flexibility for utilization of their property; and in some instances, the
additional revenue may help with the maintenance and preservation of historic
resources in Virginia Beach. The appropriateness and ultimate approval of an
Assembly Use within a Historic and Cultural District will be at the discretion of City
Council through the review of a Conditional Use Permit and subject to a finding
that the operation of the use will not produce adverse impacts, such as excess
traffic, noise or on-street parking demand, upon the surrounding area.
• Recommendation:
On September 8, 2021 , the Planning Commission placed this this item on the
Consent Agenda passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 to recommend
approval of this request.

Agenda Item # 2
City of Virginia Beach [Applicant]
An Ordinance to amend Section 1306 of the City Zoning Ordinance to add Assembly
Uses as Conditional Uses in the Historic & Cultural Districts
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you. Okay, the next item is agenda item number two City of Virginia
Beach as well, in an ordinance to amend section 1306 of the City's Zoning
Ordinance to add assembly uses as conditional uses in the historic and cultural
districts. And the city, we've asked the city to speak on this item. Is there any
opposition for this item being placed on the consent agenda, hearing none, Mr.
Morrison, can you please read this one?
Mr. Morrison: Alright, so this request is to amend Section 1306 of the Zoning Ordinance to add
assembly uses as conditional uses within historic and cultural zoning districts. So
an assembly use is defined as one that involves the gathering of individuals or
groups in one location such as an arena, assembly hall, auditorium, bingo hall,
civic center, eleemosynary establishments, private clubs, union halls and
excluding religious uses. So adding these uses would provide property owners
with a little bit more flexibility and options for utilization of their property. Staff is
recommending approval of this ordinance as the appropriateness and ultimate
approval of any assembly use would be at the discretion of city council through the
conditional use permit process.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Morrison: Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair that was the last item on the consent agenda. I move
for approval of agenda items 1, 2, 3 and four, 5 and 10.
Mr. Weiner: All right, we have a motion for approval. We have a second.
Ms. Oliver: Second.
Mr. Weiner: We have a motion by Mr. Wall, second by Mrs. Oliver.
Madam Clerk: The vote is open. By recorded vote of 10 in favor, zero against agenda items 1, 2,
3, 4, 5 and 10 have been approved by consent.
