PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 19, 2021
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
• Background: In May 1995, the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (the
"Ordinance") was adopted by the City Council for the purpose of promoting and
encouraging the preservation of farmland in the rural southern portion of the City.
Under the Agricultural Reserve Program established by the Ordinance, the City
purchases the development rights of eligible parcels of land, leaving the fee simple
ownership of the land unchanged. These purchases are embodied by perpetual
agricultural land preservation easements pursuant to which only agricultural uses, as
defined in the Ordinance, are allowed on the land.
The subject property has been appraised by an independent appraiser retained by the
City. The appraiser has determined the fair market value of the property, based upon
ten (10) comparable sales. From the fair market value, the value of the development
rights has been determined by subtracting $1,800 per acre, which has previously been
established as the farm value (i.e., value of the land restricted to agricultural uses) for
land throughout the southern rural area of the City. The resulting amount is the value of
the development rights of the property.
All offers by the City to purchase the development rights of property are expressly made
contingent upon the absence of any title defects or other conditions which, in the
opinion of the City Attorney, may adversely affect the City' s interests, and other
standard contingencies.
• Considerations: The subject property, which consists of one (1) parcel of land
having approximately 50.15 acres outside of marshland and swampland, is owned by
Bonnie Woodhouse Crane. The parcel is located at 1808 Nanneys Creek Road (GPIN:
2410-27-1930) and is shown on the attached Location Map. Under current development
regulations, there is a total development potential of five (5) single-family dwelling
building sites, of which zero (0) building sites have been reserved for future
development.
The proposed purchase price, as stated in the ordinance, is $561,680. This price is the
equivalent of approximately $11,200 per acre.
The terms of the proposed acquisition are that the City would pay only interest for a
period of 25 years, with the principal amount being due and payable 25 years from the
date of closing. The interest rate to be paid by the City will be the greater of 1.442% per
annum or the per annum rate which is equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury STRIPS
purchased by the City to fund its principal obligation under the Installment Purchase
Agreement, not to exceed 3.442% without the further approval of the City Council.
The City has matching funds available for a portion of this purchase through the Virginia
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services ("VDACS"), pursuant to an
agreement between the City and VDACS, authorized by this Council on February 18,
2020 (RES-04011).
The ordinance authorizes the transfer of the amount needed to purchase the U.S.
Treasury STRIPS from the Agriculture Reserve Program Special Revenue Fund to the
General Debt Fund.
The proposed terms and conditions of the purchase of the development rights pursuant
to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including the purchase price and manner of
payment, are fair and reasonable and in furtherance of the purposes of the Ordinance.
• Public Information: Notice of Public Hearing has been advertised by publication
in a newspaper having general circulation in the City once per week for two successive
weeks (October 3, 2021 and October 10, 2021). The Public Hearing will be held on
October 19, 2021. Public notice will be provided via the normal City Council agenda
process.
• Alternatives: The City Council may decline to purchase the development rights
to the property.
• Recommendations: Adoption of the ordinance and acquisition of the
development rights, assuming all contingencies are met.

AGENDA ITEM
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 J
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.

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

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
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City, its agents and employees, from and

It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee agrees to

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

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funding from the Commonwealth of
Virginia State Compensation Board to the Virginia Beach Sheriffs Office (VBSO)
FY 2021-22 Operating Budget and to Approve Bonuses for Locally Funded
Sworn Officer Appointees
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
• Background: During Special Session II of the 2021 Virginia General Assembly,
allocations of the Commonwealth's distribution of federal American Rescue Plan Act
funds in FY22 were determined. As a result, language and funding is provided in the
current fiscal year for a one-time $3,000 bonus payment for Compensation Board-
funded sheriffs and sheriffs' deputies.
The Compensation Board communicated federal guidelines regarding "premium pay"
and a requirement that individuals receiving the bonus must work in a sworn position for
a minimum of 231 hours, or approximately 5.8 weeks, to be eligible for the bonus. The
Compensation Board determined that all sworn deputies and regional jail officers in a
Compensation Board funded position will be eligible for the bonus if they occupy the
position on the date the bonus is paid. For those paid the bonus prior to completion of
231 hours, reimbursement will be deferred to the following month pending completion of
the required time period and could result in a pro-rated reimbursement in the event of a
subsequent early departure from a sworn position.
The Sheriffs Office has 389 Compensation Board-funded positions under these
guidelines. The Compensation Board requires localities to implement the bonus no later
than November 30, 2021. The Compensation Board will provide the funding for this
allocated bonus in its December reimbursement to the Sheriffs Office. The VBSO is
scheduling the bonus to be paid in the November 12, 2021 payroll.
The Sheriffs Office has an additional 19 sworn appointees who meet the eligibility
guidelines but are locally funded. In an effort of fairness for all appointees, the Sheriff
does not want to exclude them from this process and will be providing them the bonus.
The Sheriffs Office has indicated their ability to absorb those costs by using vacancy
savings.
• Considerations: Accept funding from the Compensation Board for the 389
eligible individuals and appropriate it to the Virginia Beach Sheriffs Office FY 2021-22
Operating Budget. The total funding to be received is $1,256,276, which includes
$1,167,000 for the bonus payments and $89,276 to cover employer-paid payroll taxes.
Additionally, this ordinance will authorize the Sheriff to provide $3,000 bonuses to the
19 locally funded sworn appointees. The total funding for this action is $61,361, which
includes $57,000 in bonus payments and $4,361 for employer-paid payroll taxes.
• Alternative: Should the Sheriffs Office run into issues in the future, an
additional option could be to redirect operating account savings to their personnel
accounts to meet payroll needs. In FY 2020-21, the Sheriffs Office operating accounts
had a funds available balance of$161,607.91.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sheriffs and Regional Jail Superintendents
City Managers and County Administrators
FROM: Robyn M. de Socio
Executive Secretary
SUBJECT: Additional Information regarding FY22 ARPA Bonus for Sworn Sheriffs,
Sheriffs' Deputies & Regional Jail Officers
I am writing to provide additional information following communications dated August 16,
2021 and August 27, 2021 regarding a one-time $3,000 bonus payment for Compensation
Board funded sworn positions in sheriffs' offices and regional jails, including sheriffs,
sheriffs' deputies, regional jail superintendents and corrections officers in regional jails.
Earlier this month, several offices submitted requests by the September 8, 2021 deadline
identifying sworn deputy sheriffs or regional jail officers occupying a "partially-funded"
position on the Compensation Board payroll. The Compensation Board considered these
requests at its meeting on September 23, 2021 and approved the allocation of bonus
funding for these positions. Notification of these approvals will be provided separately to
sheriffs' offices, regional jails and localities. Updated spreadsheets we will provide when
your locality pays the bonus will identify the funding to be reimbursed for these additional
positions as specifically requested and approved by the Compensation Board. Please note
that consideration of funding for the bonus for individuals not in deputy sheriff/regional jail
officer positions only included "partially-funded" positions, and did not include other
nonsworn position classifications such as administrative or cook positions.
You will recall that the Compensation board encourages each locality and regional jail to
implement the bonus as soon as possible, but no later than November 30, 2021. Once the
locality determines the date for payment of the bonus, please notify our staff of
the determined date by email at customerservice(ascb.virginia.gov. Please provide
notice of the planned date as soon as possible, before the date of payment.
I am also writing to provide clarification and final guidance regarding ARPA categorization
and eligibility for the bonus on the date of payment. In my initial communication, I
indicated that individuals would be eligible for the bonus if they occupied a sworn funded
deputy or regional jail position on the Compensation Board payroll on the date of
implementation of the bonus, and then subsequent communication identified federal rules
MEMO: Sheriffs and Regional Jail Superintendents,
City Managers and County Administrators
October 1, 2021
Page 2 of 3
regarding "premium pay" and a requirement that individuals receiving the bonus must work
in a sworn position in the sheriff's office or regional jail for a minimum of 231 hours, or
approximately 5.8 weeks, to be eligible for the bonus. As federal rules for ARPA allow
premium pay to be made on a retrospective or prospective basis, we have determined that
all sworn deputies and regional jail officers in a Compensation Board funded
position will be eligible for the bonus if they occupy the position on the date the
bonus is paid. As this could include deputies or jail officers hired shortly before the date of
implementation that have not yet completed 231 hours, the Compensation Board will
provide hire date information in the spreadsheet provided when your locality pays the
bonus, and require verification of time in a sworn position for those that do not appear yet
to meet the requirements. For those paid the bonus prior to completion of 231 hours,
reimbursement will be deferred to the following month pending completion of the required
time period and could result in a pro-rated reimbursement in the event of a subsequent
early departure from a sworn position.
As indicated, when the locality pays the bonus, we will provide a spreadsheet to the sheriff's
office and locality identifying those positions on the Compensation Board payroll on the date
of payment that are eligible for reimbursement of the bonus (sheriffs, sworn deputies,
regional jail officers, and those "partially funded" positions containing sworn deputies/officer
that were specifically requested for consideration and approved by the Board). Sheriffs'
offices will be requested to verify hire dates of those appearing to have worked less than
231 hours on the date of bonus payment, and local governing bodies (County
Administrators, City Managers, or delegated chief Finance personnel) will be required to
certify that bonus payments were made to the identified personnel in order to seek
reimbursement.
Federal rules include an additional stipulation for payment of the bonus where the "premium
pay" (bonus) would increase a worker's total annual pay above 150 percent of Virginia's
average annual wage for all occupations or their residing county's average annual wage
(whichever is higher), as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational
Employment and Wage Statistics, that the Commonwealth must provide (US) Treasury and
make publicly available a written justification of how the premium pay or grant is responsive
to workers performing essential work during the public health emergency.
In the case of sheriffs and sworn deputies or regional jail officers where the current total
salary (including local supplement) or the current total salary plus the bonus would increase
the individual's total pay above $115,815 for certain Northern VA localities and $90,240 for
all others, the Compensation Board has stipulated that, unlike those professions where
premium pay may be unwarranted, the vast majority of sworn sheriffs, deputies and
regional jails officers are comprised of low- to moderate-income workers, and those who do
earn more than this threshold regularly work side-by-side with, and experience an equal
share of the extraordinary risks associated with COVID-19. Unlike most employees, sworn
sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and regional jail officers do not have the routine ability to isolate
themselves from public interactions through telework; rather, they have been called upon to
fulfill their essential public safety duties at great personal risk throughout the pandemic. As
such, disparate treatment of a comparatively small number of deputies and officers on the
basis of relatively small differences in earnings would create significant pay inequities
whereby some would receive compensation reflective of the extraordinary risks they
undertook and others, being denied this compensation, would earn less than those they
serve alongside.

Again, once the locality determines the date for payment of the bonus, please
notify our staff of the determined date by email at customerservice(@scb.virginia.gov.
Please provide notice of the planned date as soon as possible, before the date of payment,
so that we may provide final spreadsheet information confirming positions to be reimbursed
and instructions regarding any additional information needed regarding hire dates and
certifications for requesting reimbursement.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept $136,429,703 of American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus
State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and to Appropriate $82,063,098 for
Stormwater, Parks and Recreation Infrastructure, and Facilities Capital Projects
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
• Background: On March 11, 2021 , the President signed the American Rescue Plan
Act (the "Act" or "ARPA") into law (P.L. 117-2). In Section 9901 of the Act, the Congress
appropriated funds to the U. S. Department of the Treasury to make direct apportionments
to states, territories, cities, and counties. As part of the legislation, local governments with
consolidated governments, such as Virginia Beach, were eligible to receive funds from
both the city and county components of Section 9901. Through the Treasury's allocation
formula, Virginia Beach's combined share is $136,429,703.
On May 25, 2021, the City Council was presented with information regarding the
Treasury's eligibility standards, as contained in the Interim Final Rule (31 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 35, Subpart A). At the same meeting, the Council noted priorities for the
use of funds and instructed the City Manager to develop a recommended budget to be
presented to the City Council for its consideration.
Throughout the summer, the City Manager and the Department of Budget and
Management Services conducted a simulated budget process for the allocation of the
City's combined share. After review of more than 100 proposals and more than $575
million in requests, a City Manager's Recommended ARPA Budget was delivered to the
Council on September 14, 2021. On September 21 and 28, 2021 , the City Council
received additional briefings on topics contained within the Recommended ARPA Budget.
Because the amount of funds exceeds 1% of the City's annual budget, a public hearing
was held during the City Council's October 5, 2021 Formal Session.
The Council held a reconciliation session on the use of the ARPA funds at its October 12,
2021 workshop. At that meeting, City Council directed staff to place an agenda request
and ordinance on the October 19th agenda appropriating necessary funding to implement
the portion of the City Manager's Recommended ARPA Budget related to capital projects.
The remaining allocation of ARPA funds is to be addressed after further discussion of the
City Council.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance accepts the entire $ 136,429,703 of
ARPA funding and appropriates $82,063,098 in ARPA funding to various projects
summarized by the City Council priority categories below:
Council Category Total Dollar Amount Percent of ARPA Funds
Stormwater $44,880,000 33%
City Facilities and Asset $37,183,098 27%
Backlog Repair
Total ARPA Allocated $82,063,098 60%
The remaining $54,366,605 in ARPA funding is to remain unappropriated until a future
point in time. It is anticipated that City Council will consider an agenda request and
ordinance to appropriate the remaining ARPA funding on November 9th. Until that point
in time, under City Council's review and consideration is the remainder of the City
Manager's Recommended ARPA Budget not funded through this action item. The
following table summarizes the City Manager's recommendations by City Council priority
category:
Council Category _ Total Dollar Amount Percent of ARPA Funds
Economic Support and $28,800,000 21%
Assistance
Broadband $7,000,000 5%
Behavioral and Mental $2,224,000 2%
Health
Affordable Housing $6,314,200 5%
Contingency Set Aside 1 $10,028,405 7%
Total ARPA Un-Allocated $54,366,605 40%
The ordinance also includes safeguards in cases where a project can no longer be
completed within ARPA deadlines or if future federal legislative or regulatory action
restricts what is allowed to be spent with this source of funds.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process. A public hearing on the
subject was held on October 5, 2021 and was advertised in the Beacon on September
26, 2021 . Additionally, information on the overall process was communicated in the
Friday packets of June 4 and July 30, 2021 , and Council questions were answered within
the Friday packets of September 17 and 24, 2021 .

Description and Scope
A top priority for City Council is management and planning related to the rehabilitation of the stormwater infrastructure throughout the city,with
emphasis on neighborhoods which have reported stormwater needs.Work will include minor system improvements,and acquisition of necessary
easements and rights-of-entry to the extent funding is available.This project will address the main purpose to prioritize rehabilitation or repair of existing
neighborhood infrastructure within the framework of a comprehensive condition assessment program.Work will include critical rehabilitation stormwater improvements to mitigate
neighborhood flooding for moderate rainfall events,focusing on three areas to concentrate to return the neighborhood to the design ten-year event.Those three areas of repair will
include but not be limited to close circuit television inspection(CCTV),lining repair,and point repair. This project will extend the useful life of the city's stormwater infrastructure by
Purpose and Need
This project will extend the useful life of the city's stormwater infrastructure by systematically identifying needed rehabilitation improvements.Without this
project,neighborhood drainage systems will slide outside of the desired 25 year rehabilitation cycle and result in increasing neighborhood health and
safety issues.Stormwater infrastructure improvements will be made to improve the drainage system to minimize flooding.This program will help to ensure
the long-term health of the City's infrastructure and guide master planning and future investment and help with the repetitive residential,roadway,and neighborhood flooding that
History and Current Status
This concept for this project first appeared in the FY 2019-20 CIP to help with the repetitive residential,roadway,and neighborhood flooding that has been occurring with moderate
to heavy rainfall.Funding in this project will be supplemental the regular CIP project,PG 100515.Funding from the American Rescue Plan Act is designed to shorten the
rehabilitation cycle,thereby returning more neighborhood back to the design 10 year event.The following neighborhoods could be completed by annual construction services:
Birdneck Point,Lynnhaven Colony,Great Neck Estates,Bay Colony,Redwing,Upton Estates,Seatack,Salem Villages,Rock Creek,Redmill Farm,Foxfire,Three Oaks,Southgate,
Hillcrest Farms,Birchwood Gardens,Great Neck Meadows,Pembroke Meadows,Charlestowne Lake South,Thalia Village,Thalia Manor,Courthouse Estates.Neighborhoods
addressed by this project are subject to change based on field conditions.The neighborhoods identified in this paragraph are illustrative of projects that could be addressed.

Description and Scope
This project is for the design,construction,and maintenance of City lakes to include dredging,structural repair and/or upgrade of dams and spillways,aerators,culverts,outfalls,
acquisition of necessary easements,real estate acquisition,Right-of-Way,and rights-of-entry to the extent funding is available,and other maintenance activities as necessary to
support the function of non-tidal lakes within the City.
Purpose and Need
Non tidal lakes provide major storm water treatment benefits when they have adequate depth and are properly maintained.The failure of dams creates the risk of ecological and
environmental damage to"Waters of the U.S.",such as the Lynnhaven River,Elizabeth River,and North Landing River,as well as adverse economic impacts and hazards to adjacent
property owners to include residential flooding. The additional funding proposed under ARPA would reduce the current 95-year cycle to approximately 90 years.
History and Current Status
Funding in this project will be supplemental the regular CIP project,PG 100232,and allow for additional lakes to be addressed during the ARPA timeframe.Four bid packages would
be proposed to complete the following BMP's: Bid package 1:Sabre Street Extended 1,Indian Lakes 2,Green Meadows,Holly Lake&Lynnhaven Mall#3.Bid Package#2:Lagomar

Description and Scope
This project will upgrade and migrate the Municipal Center Courts Buildings 10,10A,and SOB from the Tridium Niagara AX Heating,Ventilation and Air Conditioning(HVAC)Building
Automation System(BAS)to the Tridium N4 HVAC BAS.This software upgrade will also require the replacement of 330 Variable Air Volume(VAV)actuators,20 Fan Coil Unit(FCU)
Hot Water(HW)actuators,supply air damper actuators,flow stations,current transducers,fan relays,thermostats and 6 Air Handling Unit controllers,hot and cold water valve
actuators,sensors,Variable Frequency Drive(VFD)integration,wiring,licensing,Tridium DACE controllers,and commissioning.
Purpose and Need
The Tridium Niagara AX System is a Heating,Ventilation and Air Conditioning(HVAC)Building Automation System(BAS)installed in the Municipal Center Courts Buildings 10,10A,
and 10B.The system consists of both hardware devices and software to manage the HVAC system.The system resides on the City's network infrastructure,and the system reached
"end-of-life"on July 1,2021.The system is no longer be able to receive updates and support from the vendor.The system is vulnerable to security attacks and there will be no
support from the vendor in the event of a system outage.The upgrade will ensure that the HVAC/BAS system continues to receive updates,is vendor supported,and continues to be
o•erational.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY21-22 CIP. Funding in the amount of$2,070,000 was placed in CIP N 100225 Judicial Center Maintenance,in FY 2026-27.As the current DDC
system software ceased being supported by the vendor in July 2021,waiting until FY 2026-27 to execute this work would be problematic.

Description and Scope
The project will construct an approximately 12,000 square-foot building to house the Parks and Recreation,Landscape Maintenance staff.The building includes assembly areas,
locker rooms,a welding shop,and warehouse and storage requirements necessary to meet the needs of this work unit.The construction yard will be located adjacent to the Parks
and Recreation Landscape Services facility on Dam Neck Road.
Purpose and Need
The current facility is located on a former U.S.Military Nike missile site parcel.The parcel still has many of the base's former components such as missile silos,bunkers,and barracks,
which were constructed in the 1940s.The existing buildings have outlived their useful life.Further,the facility needs to be expanded to meet the Parks and Recreation Department's
current mission and responsibilities.The current site use is industrial;however,the yard is now surrounded by residential neighborhoods and is not a compatible use given this
residential development.Therefore,movement of the facility is the best option.
History and Current Status
This project was first requested in the FY 2010-11 CIP as a project to relocate/consolidate both the Landscape Yard facility and the Citywide Administration facility located at the
same site.Since that time,a project has been completed to relocate the Citywide Administration facility,leaving the need to relocate or replace the Landscape Yard facility. A stand
alone CIP for this project has appeared on the Requested but Not Funded list for multiple years.This facility was on the original Top 13 facilities projects and remains on this list due
to the poor conditions of the structures and the need to relocate the industrial operation out of a residential area and to provide structures and facilities.The new facility will be
desi_ned to meet the current mission of this work unit.

ITEM: MURPHY'S OF VIRGINIA BEACH [Applicant] STEPHEN YUEN YEE FAMILY,
LLC [Property Owner] Special Exception for Alternative Compliance
(Recurring Outdoor Events) for the property located at 2914 Pacific Avenue
(GPIN 2428013605). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
■ Background:
In 2020, Murphy's of Virginia Beach (Murphy's) converted a portion of the parking
lot into a temporary outdoor dining area due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, the
restaurant proposes to convert a portion of the parking lot into a permanent outdoor
dining area with new proposed uses such as yard games, music, and a stage to
host outdoor events on the property.
The applicant received a building permit to construct the dining area on July 22,
2021 . However, they require Alternative Compliance to incorporate recurring
outdoor events on the site. The applicant proposes to host a variety of additional
unique, temporary but often recurring events. The outdoor space will also include
outdoor dining, yard games, fundraisers for local nonprofit organizations as well as
a 200 square foot stage for live music, movie nights, and sporting event watch
parties. Individually, these uses could be considered accessory to the primary
indoor eating and drinking establishment. However, considered together, the
expanded size and frequency of events is beyond what can be considered
accessory, and require an Alternative Compliance application to proceed. The
outdoor area will be enclosed with an iron and stone railing to match the materials
used for the existing outdoor seating area on the site.
• Considerations:
Construction of an open space with outdoor seating, yard games, and a
performance stage can help activate the street, and the proposed landscaping
improvements support the priorities of beautification, placemaking, and creation of
a sense of arrival and welcome to the Resort Area. The following measures have
been proposed to dampen noise that could be generated by the outdoor activities
onsite. The performance area with a stage will be moved from its current location
facing the apartment and townhouse residences on 30th Street and face southeast
towards the Boardwalk, away from these residences. Additionally, the applicant
proposes to enclose the stage with a permanent eight-foot tall wall that is to be
soundproofed with acoustic foam paneling, at a location that will not block
sightlines for pedestrians or vehicles entering and exiting the site. The unique
Murphy's of Virginia Beach
Page 2 of 3
activities proposed at Murphy's (live music, movie screenings, non-profit events,
sporting events) along with its location in the Laskin Gateway area lends to the
creation of a memorable and successful place, even during the off-season,
supporting the goal to be a year-round destination. To ensure that the residential
uses to the west of the property are not negatively affected by the new activities
onsite, the Planning Commission recommended approval but subject to an
additional condition (Condition 10) that limits the number of special events on the
site to 15 per year. The additional condition is indicated by underlined text noted
below. At the City Council Workshop on September 28, 2021, Council requested
information regarding the soundproofing materials for the proposed stage walls.
The proposed walls are eight (8) inches thick and filled with grout, providing a
Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 55, which blocks approximately 55
decibels from transmitting through the partition and reduces sound by more than
78%. A reinforced sound barrier with an additional STC rating of 26 will also be
applied interior to the eight-inch walls. The technical data sheet and charts
indicating the estimated STC Ratings and sound reduction for the proposed walls
are attached. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Staff received six letters of support from surrounding properties owners for this
request. Two speakers were present in opposition at the Planning Commission
public hearing. The first speaker represented the owner of an adjacent apartment
complex and noted concerns about the potential for excessive noise being
generated by the proposed activities. The second speaker was the owner of the
apartments and indicated that from time-to-time he has received noise complaints
from his tenants. Despite this, the Planning Commission voted 10-0 to recommend
approval recommending condition ten listed below to limit the number of outdoor
events per year to 15.
• Recommendation:
On September 8, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 10-0.
1. All new, permanent structures shall substantially conform to the renderings
depicted in "Murphy' Outdoor Exhibit," dated August 27, 2021, by WPL, which
has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the
Planning Department.
2. No amplified music shall be permitted outdoors between the hours of 11 :00
p.m. and 10:00 a.m.
3. The operation shall not disturb the tranquility of residential areas or other areas
in close proximity or otherwise interfere with the reasonable use and enjoyment
of neighboring property by reason of excessive noise, traffic, lighting, or
overflow parking.
Murphy's of Virginia Beach
Page 3 of 3
4. The height of the stage walls shall not exceed eight (8) feet and shall be

and is on file in the Planning Department.
9. Four (4) replacement London Plane trees or large street trees of a species
acceptable to the DSC Landscape Architect shall be planted in the verge
between the sidewalk and 30th Street. The trees shall be placed in conformance
with the "Planting Plan, 30th Street," dated December 14, 2005 by WPL, which
is on file with the City of Virginia Beach Department of Public Works and
Engineering Division and is shown on page 16 of this report. The trees shall
have a minimum caliper of 2 1/2" at breast height at the time of planting.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• This subject property is home to Murphy's Irish Pub(Murphy's), a restaurant at the oceanfront in the resort area
providing dining and outdoor entertainment. In 2020, like many restaurants, Murphy's converted a portion of
the parking lot into a temporary outdoor dining area due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, the restaurant is
converting a portion of the parking lot into a permanent outdoor dining area, with new proposed uses such as
yard games, music, and a stage to host outdoor events on the property. The applicant received a building permit
to construct the dining area on July 22, 2021. However,they require Alternative Compliance to incorporate
recurring outdoor events on the site.
Uses
• In addition to the outdoor music that occurs at Murphy's,the applicant proposes to host a variety of
additional unique,temporary but often recurring events, such as movie nights, sporting event watch
parties,yard games, and fundraisers for local nonprofit organizations. Individually, these uses could be
considered accessory to the primary indoor eating and drinking establishment. However, considered
together,the expanded size and frequency of events is beyond what can be considered accessory, and
require an Alternative Compliance application to proceed.
Structures and Site Layout
• The outdoor area will be enclosed with an iron and stone railing to match the materials used for the
existing outdoor seating area on the site. The new outdoor space will include outdoor dining and yard
games, as well as a 200 square foot stage for live music, movie screenings, sporting events, and
nonprofit events.
• The following measures have been proposed to dampen noise that could be generated by the outdoor
activities onsite:the performance area will be moved from its current location facing the apartment and
townhouse residences on 30th Street. The new stage will be facing southeast, away from the apartment
and townhouse residences on 30th Street,toward the boardwalk. Additionally,the applicant proposes to
enclose the stage with a permanent eight-foot tall wall that is to be soundproofed with acoustic foam
paneling, at a location that will not block sightlines for pedestrians or vehicles entering and exiting the
site.
• New trees and shrubs are planned to be installed interior to the site, and four new street trees will be
installed along 30th Street,which will aid in upgrading the aesthetics of the property
Parking
• Utilizing a combination of on-site and off-site parking, a common practice in the Oceanfront Resort
district, the applicant meets the required number of 61 parking spaces mandated by the Zoning
Ordinance.
• To develop the site as proposed, eight (8) parking spaces would be removed, leaving 33 on-site spaces
available for patrons.
• To meet the remaining parking requirement,the applicant has entered into a five-year off-site parking
agreement for 15 parking spaces in the adjacent lot to the west.This agreement will need to be updated
for continued compliance,or the applicant will be required to provide 15 spaces at a different location
approved by the Zoning Administrator.
• Additionally,the applicant has an active monthly Parking Validation Agreement for 13 overflow spaces
inside the 31st Street Parking Garage, for a total of 61 parking spaces.
• According to Traffic Engineering,the new outdoor area is not likely to generate a significant amount of
increased traffic.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code (ORD FBC) provides flexibility through the Alternative Compliance
process to accommodate unique uses and development forms that contribute to the character and ambiance envisioned
in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP 2030) but do not follow the "prescribed form" as written. Section 7.3.3
of the FBC provides the 'Review Standards'for these applications, noting that the City Council "shall consider the extent
to which the proposed development,taken as a whole," satisfies these standards. Each of these standards is listed
below, with a Staff comment pertaining to the degree to which the proposal meets each.
Advances the stated goals and objectives of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan and this Code, and specifically,the
extent to which the proposed development:
• Promotes modes of transportation other than the automobile, including walking and transit.Staff Comments:
The site is located on southwest corner of 30`h Street and Pacific Avenue, both of which are designated as
"Gateway"streets by the Form-Based Code. While there is a higher volume of traffic on these streets, the area
still offers accommodations for pedestrians. The proximity to the Boardwalk, along with the new amenities
proposed on this site promote alternative forms of transportation like walking, biking, or use of other
micro mobility devices.
• Creates a built environment that is in scale with pedestrian-oriented activities and provides visual interest and
orientation for pedestrians.Staff Comments: The open layout of the site provides visibility to the activities on
the site to add interest without overwhelming the public realm. Construction of an open space with outdoor
seating, yard games, and a performance stage can help activate the street, and the proposed landscaping
improvements supports the priorities of beautification, placemaking, and creation of sense of arrival and
welcome to the Resort Area.
• Contributes to a mix of uses in the area that are compatible with each other and work together to create a
memorable and successful place.Staff Comments: The unique activities proposed at Murphy's(live music, movie
screenings, non-profit events, sporting events)along with its location in the Laskin Gateway area lends to the
Murphy's of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 11
Page 3
creation of a memorable and successful place, even during the off-season,supporting the goal to be a year-round
destination.
• Is consistent with the intent of the regulations applicable to the street frontage in which it is located,as set
forth in Sec. 2.1 of this code.Staff Comments:Appropriately, the outdoor seating area is located along 30th
Street, a Gateway frontage street type. To accommodate the pedestrian nature of this street frontage, there will
be two new access points to the restaurant—one from the 30th Street sidewalk and a second facing the parking
area.
• Is physically and functionally integrated with the built environment in which it is located.Staff Comments:The
uses and structures on the site are well-suited in the Resort District.
• Advances the goals and objectives of the parking strategy for the District.Staff Comments:As stated above,
the outdoor nature of the proposed activities at Murphy's promote walking and biking. While eight on-site
parking spaces will be removed to develop this area, the establishment will maintain the same total number of
parking spaces with an Off-Site Parking Agreement and a Parking Validation Agreement in the 315C Street
Garage.A copy of the agreements are shown on page 10 of this Staff report. Furthermore, as only eight new
dining tables are proposed staff does not believe the proposed additional seating would translate into the need
for additional parking spaces.Any additional new trips are likely outside the hours of the morning and afternoon
peak traffic periods.
• The City Council shall also consider the potential impacts of the proposed deviation on surrounding properties
and the extent to which any adverse impacts from such deviation can be mitigated.Staff Comments: There is
potential for noise to be generated by the outdoor activity at Murphy's. This is appropriate for the Oceanfront
Resort Area;however, due to the residences to the west of the site, a condition is recommended to prohibit
amplified music after 11:00 p.m. The proposed stage will be placed facing southeast, away from the residential
uses on 30th Street, and eight foot tall acoustic paneling will be installed around the stage to absorb and
dampen noise.
Staff is supportive of the proposal as it will activate and beautify the street while maintaining compatibility with the
established character of the Oceanfront Resort Area. Based on the conclusion that the proposed uses and associated
structures satisfy the standards above to the greatest extent possible,Staff recommends approval of this Special
Exception for Alternative Compliance to the Form-Based Code,subject to the conditions below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The subject property is located within the Resort Strategic Growth Area (SGA),which the Comprehensive Plan
designates as one of the eight urban areas in the City that envisions a vertical mix of urban uses, urban streetscapes,
pedestrian connectivity, mobility and transit alternatives,urban gathering places, land use patterns that foster economic
growth through efficient use and reuse of land, neighborhood protection, "green" building and infrastructure
opportunities, and a variety of civic,commercial,artistic, and ethnically diverse areas.
The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP)2030 serves as the master plan for the Resort SGA, and it identifies four
sub-districts for their own distinct characteristics and are key to diversifying the Resort Area.The subject area is located
within the Laskin Gateway district,which is a key connection point for North End businesses and neighborhoods and the
Hilltop commercial area to the west.The RASAP 2030 set priorities for adopting best practices for beautification,
placemaking,wayfinding,events and programming, incentive programs, and infrastructure improvements.The Plan also
prioritizes the need to create a sense of arrival and welcome into the Resort Area and the need to achieve the goal of a
year-round resort.
The request for alternative compliance to construct an open space with outdoor seating, yard games,and performance
stage can provide street activation, as well as facade and street improvements that supports in achieving the priorities
of beautification, placemaking, and creation of sense of arrival and welcome to the Resort Area.

Agenda Item # 11
Murphy's of Virginia Beach [Applicant]
Stephen Yuen Yee Family, LLC [Property Owner]
Alternative Compliance
2914 Pacific Avenue
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir. Wait, she's just got to read it in for the record here.
Madam Clerk: Our next item is agenda item number 11, which is Murphy's of Virginia Beach, an
application for alternative compliance on property located at 2914 Pacific Avenue
in the Beach District.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Garrington: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen Planning Commission for the
record Billy Garrington on behalf of the applicant, the applicant in this case is Mr.
Tom Mooney, owner of Murphy's Irish Pub 2914 Pacific Avenue. And, Mr.
Chairman, I think there are actually two speakers, not just myself, so okay; Mr.
Fine is here in the audience. And I know Mr. Fine for a very long time; have the
utmost respect for him. And I think he has some concerns, one of the neighbors to
the west of us. So the request we are here in front of you today is for the Alternative
Compliance for the recurring outdoor events on this property at 2914 Pacific
Avenue. This is the Mooney's restaurant that has had music there for some time
since it's been going on and to the best of my knowledge, I don't think there have
been any complaints from any of the surrounding properties. Mr. Mooney reached
out to all of the businesses that were right adjacent to this before we came up to
make sure that none of them had any problems with it. I think he's even supplied
to city staff with some letters of support from Atlantic and Pacific and some of the
other people but that doesn't mean that we don't have somebody else who's
concerned with it and should be because that's people's homes and we want to
make sure that we're good neighbors. I think if you look at the staff right up, staff
tells you that we have oriented the stage that we are here today to ask for
permission for which is these soundproof walls and the roof that goes over top of
it.We have oriented toward faces towards the southeast.The residential properties
to the west of us that we're trying to protect and make sure that we are not a
nuisance to them, and if you also look at the conditions, there are nine conditions
in the staff right up, you look at condition number two, this says we cannot have
any amplified music permitted between the hours of 11 pm and 10 am. Obviously,
we're not going to, but condition number three is really the one that is the catch all,
it says the operation shall not disturb the tranquillity of the residential areas or other
1
areas in close proximity or otherwise interfere with a reasonable use, and
enjoyment of neighbouring properties by reason of excessive noise,traffic,lighting,
or overflow parking. I think that one condition right there very well sums up that we
can't be a nuisance to any of the surrounding properties. And if we do, we risk
losing our use permit. So, the staff right up the chair in front of you has a total of
nine conditions, including those two that I just read to you.We're in total agreement
with all those conditions. If you remember, this request was set to be heard last
month, and we had to pull it for two reasons. Number one, we had to remove,
relocate the stage because there was a problem with the vision triangle,we had to
submit our landscaping plan to the resort area advisory committee and get their
permission. We did both of those. And we also had a seating area around the fire
pit that had about six inches of the back of the seat that was encroaching into the
city property that has all been taken care of. We're back in front of you today to
ask for your approval of this request. Last but not least, the gentleman who is in
opposition to this or who is concerned lives next door to the West, I will promise
you and him that I will set up a meeting before we go to city council with him, myself
and Mr. Mooney, the two of them should meet personally. And he can get Mr.
Mooney's personal cell phone number. So in case there are any problems at night-
time, he's not calling to the restaurant and just getting somebody that's blowing
him off saying I don't know what you're talking about.You talk directly to the owner,
if any problems come up, and I will promise each one of you that I will make that
meeting happen before we get to city council.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?
Mr. Garrington: Oh, and I will apologize for the fact that they're already under construction out
there, as I have explained to you. That is really an oversight of your city staff
because the city staff said, look, the stage that you're wanting to build is not what
you're asking for the alternative compliance for it's the walls and the roof.And they
gave him a permit and told him he could go to work.
Mr. Weiner: He keeps saying, I got a question for staff. We were told that there wasn't going to
be a roof.
Mr. Garrington: It shows right on the plans, but it's only over top of the stage. It's not over the
entire seating area.
Ms. Oliver: We had thought you were talking about a roof over the whole outdoor area.
Mr. Garrington: No, it's just over top of the stage.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, okay. Okay.
Mr. Garrington: And the maximum height is eight feet.
2
Mr. Weiner: Thank you very much. All right.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Chair. I'm only aware of one speaker and call Morris Fine.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome sir.
Mr. Fine: Ladies and gentlemen. I'm Morris Fine. I'm an attorney. I'm also a developer of
sorts. I also represent Mr. Lance Goldner. Mr. Goldner and his family have owned
the property to the west for some 35 years on which Mr. Goldner has built 71
apartments in the last seven to eight years. He is very concerned about the noise
factor that will arise from this special use by Murphy's. It wasn't this property that
he owned was there at the same time a Chinese restaurant was there and then it
turned into Murphy's. And Murphy's first was a restaurant Murphy's, then they
expanded to the outdoors and have outdoor service. And that was okay. But now
we have this potential of noise from an open stage that's going to be built there.
And on this stage, there's going to be amplifiers, there's going to be live music,
there's going to be movies, there are the activities that we don't know about. And
Mr. Goldner is very concerned, that his dance will be affected. Personally, I don't
see how they cannot be affected. If somebody wanted to sit on their balcony and
go to sleep at 8:30 or 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock at night or have babies, it's going to be
affected by this noise. The noise doesn't stop at the property line. The noise is still
there when you have a setback. The noise is going to be there forever and that's
why there's a requirement that there be a special deviation. It seems to me maybe,
I'm talking lawyer talk too much but the burden should be on the special applicant
to come before you and say I will not infringe on your freedom from noise. We
haven't heard anything from them to say that the noise won't infringe on my client's
tenants, I must say that my client did not bargain for bands and live music when
he put up his property and I don't think that the Murphy's has shown any reason to
get a special exception and I would ask you to vote this down. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Sir, stand by one second. Does anybody have any questions? I have a question.
Has your client received in the past any comments or anything about loud noises
or bands playing, bands have been playing out there, acoustic music, for a while
now?
Mr. Fine: I can't say because I don't know. He's here. Lance. Do you? Have you heard any
complaints?
Mr. Goldner: Yes sir, I have.
Mr. Weiner: Sir, why don't you come up to the podium please.
Mr. Goldner: I am Lance Goldner. I'm the property owner of the 71 units. And we have the next
day after is when I get the phone calls from the tenants. They hear the music up
to 11-12 o'clock at night and Chicho's last week was playing till 2 o'clock in the
3
morning. So it is an ongoing problem. And it vibrates right through the units, the
front units.
Mr. Wall: You know my question, first thing is okay, so you mentioned Chicho's or is it
Murphy's? It's hard to tell.
Ms. Oliver: First Ashby, is Ashby here? Ashby quick question on Chicho's, do they have, and
I know you might not know this live music and what if they do are they permitted
for it? And what is the deal with them with Chicho's? Do you know?
Ms. Moss: They don't have some kind of; they don't have this for recurring special events
outdoors. But traditionally, restaurants, bars do have live entertainment. And at
some point, it's enough if it's outdoors to warrant needing this special exception for
recurring events. Another reason this one was a little bit different is because the
nature of their events proposed is a broader variety than just bands performing or
music performing. So I don't know the frequency. I don't know if zoning has heard
complaints or if the police have gotten noise complaints.They should not be having
any outdoor music after 11 pm.
Ms. Oliver: Might be able to.
Mr. Goldner: I was there Saturday night at 11:30 and they had a band outside playing. I called
the police and they told me they had to wait for a supervisor and we've got 45
minutes for an hour.
Ms. Oliver: And was Murphy's?
Mr. Goldner: No, it's Chicho's.
Ms. Oliver: Chicho's, so we might Mr. Tajan might see if we can't, maybe delve into that a little
bit deeper, see what possibly is going on over there.
Mr. Goldner: It's been going on.
Mr. Fine: But the problem of policing should not be put on Lance Goldner, and the whole
issue of this noise should have been brought in some fashion before you said
they're not gonna have any noise. Not just a little bit but not.
Mr. Weiner: Understand, Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: Can you point out your properties? There's a pointer, there's a pointer right here
on the podium.
Mr. Fine: I have a picture here.
4
Mr. Wall: Those two, that are closer to Chicho's.
Mr. Goldner: Well, close to both. There and there.
Ms. Oliver: Chicho's is, okay got it, thanks, Ashby, got it.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Jack?
Mr. Wall: This is not necessarily on the same application, but they talk about, do you have
any problem with the noise from?
Mr. Goldner: No.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you, sir. Mr. Garrington.
Mr. Garrington: Mr. Chairman, I'll be brief as I can. This will not be happening at 2 o'clock in the
morning, like they're saying, because of the conditions that you have and the staff
write up. Mr. Fine says that the onus is upon us to tell you that we're not going to
do this. And we have told you that because condition number two, that's one of the
conditions that we have agreed to, we will not damage or interfere with the
tranquility of the surrounding properties with noise, light, traffic, overflow parking
any of that, that's one of the conditions that the staff has put on us, if we don't
agree to that condition, our use permit would be null and void, he would have spent
a tremendous amount of money for something that he doesn't even have the ability
to use anymore. And last but not least, we have told you or we haven't told you,
but I'm telling you now that this is only going to be 10 to 15 special events a year,
this is not going to be something that's going to be going on out there every night
of the year. So he has said that it would be a maximum of 15 events a year. And
that's what we're here to ask for your approval for today.
Ms. Oliver: If that's the case, Mr.Garrington,then does the number want to be in the conditions
of a number of 15?
Mr. Garrington: That's fine, I have no problem with it. And last but not least, again, regardless of
the outcome today, I will have Mr. Goldner and Mr. Mooney and myself meet
personally, so that he can get his phone number, if there are any problems in the
future. He knows who to call, to where he can get to the right person on with one
phone call without calling over there and getting someone who just doesn't do
anything about it.And we apologize for putting you in this position. But this is where
we have.
Ms. Oliver: One more question for you.
5
Mr. Garrington: Yes ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: Live music, define his version of live music, does that include a drum set?
Mr. Garrington: I'm sure it probably does it sometime. I mean, I'm not a musician, but.
Ms. Oliver: No, I just see how big a band it is.
Mr. Garrington: Yeah. But again, the walls are the sound absorbing and the roof also, and I think
that's going to be critical to this to make sure that it does absorb as much of the
noise as possible, rather than being outside like it has been for the last couple of
years that they've been doing.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: For the record, I'm going to point out my concern, which doesn't, I know, it has
nothing to do with you. It has less to do with what our city did with the permitting.
But I don't agree with pulling up on site last week and watching half the stage has
already been built and that just sent me wrong way and I didn't like that. And I still
don't. But I understand what happened, so it is what it is. We have taken it on.
Mr. Garrington: If I will be in our position, I would feel the same way, but again, I just want you to
understand that he did what the city told him he could do.
Mr. Weiner: I understand.
Mr. Garrington: That's where you have to go. Thank you, sir.
Ms. Oliver: So we're gonna add that condition of 15.
Mr. Garrington: Yes, ma'am. I'll be more than glad to.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Okay. thank you, sir.
Ms. Klein: I have a question for him.
Mr. Weiner: Sorry, Mr. Garrington. Okay, thank you sir.
Ms. Klein: So if I wanted to have a party at my house, and the noise ordinance is 11 pm to 7
am. Does that mean that as long as the party was done by 11 pm, my neighbors
would not have grounds to complain?
Mr. Tajan: Bit of a nebulous hole to send me down to be honest. You would not technically
be able to violate the noise ordinance, I'll say that. Sorry to give you the Weasley
6
answer and also depending on the number of people is what also triggers the need
for a special event permit depending on how many people you have in house.
Ms. Klein: But in terms of the noise violation, as long as the party is over by 11?
Mr. Tajan: As long as you don't go over, I'm sorry, I'm gonna give you the zoning administrator
type answer on this one,as long as you don't go over the decibel level as measured
by the ordinance past 11 pm then you would not be in violation.
Ms. Klein: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Wall: So you're saying there is a decimal requirement before 11?
Mr. Tajan: Tori, You're more familiar with that code section.
Ms. Eisenberg: I believe it's after 11.
Mr. Tajan: Yes after 11 there is a decibel level that you cannot go over that is measured very
specifically.
Ms. Klein: So then in response to that,that seems to be the biggest issue right now based on
these complaints, you know, and I certainly would want the city to follow up with
Chicho's and their noise until 2 am based solely on that, I would be in support of
the project.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: So in fact the noise ordinance, so it doesn't, it wouldn't apply prior to 11. Is that
what I'm?
Ms. Eisenberg: It's also enforced by the police department. So that might be why it's throwing
planning staff a little bit of a curveball. So it is enforced by the police department.
So if there are noise complaints, it should be the police department that's
contacted.
Ms. Wall: I mean that's kind of subjective. It's tough to because it's, what is it four feet inside
the wall, four feet from the wall, 75 decibels, I can't remember what the decibels
are, okay.
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else?
Mr. Inman: I have a question about the parking arrangement? I'd like to have more detail on it
Mr. Garrington. I'm just not clear on how the parking arrangement is made with the
city.
7
Mr. Garrington: He has an offsite parking agreement with this 31st street parking garage right
across the street that he has to keep in, keep current for 13 parking spaces in that
garage next door.
Mr. Inman: Are they assigned the spaces?
Mr. Garrington: I'm not sure if they're assigned or not, but he has to, there is an agreement that
he has with that parking garage for 13 parking spaces.
Mr. Inman: Then there will be available?
Mr. Garrington: That's correct.
Mr. Inman: Alright. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Comments? Motion? Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I move approval of the application with the addition of Ms. Oliver's condition limiting
the number of events to 15 per year.
Ms. Klein: And I will second.
Mr. Weiner: I have a motion by Mr. Redmond, and second by Mrs. Klein.
Madam Clerk: The vote is open. Mr.Wall. By recorded vote of 10 in favor and zero against agenda
item number 11 has been recommended for approval with conditions as amended.
Mr. Chair, do you want me to read all four of these together?

To whom it may concern.
I writing this letter to show my full support for Murphys Irish Pub to create an
outdoor event and entertainment venue in front of their establishment.As an
established business just down the street from the proposed location I feel that
outdoor activities such as these can only improve and enhance the experience and
enjoyment of our community.
The City of Virginia Beach offers free entertainment and events at its stages along
Atlantic Avenue and the oceanfront that greatly increase the appeal of our city as a
destination for music fans. If all rules set forth by the city pertaining to quiet hours
and sound levels are followed,I can only imagine this will improve the newly named
Artery district.The city is working hard to improve our Laskin Road corridor.We
applaud Murphys for all their hard work to help this effort.

I am writing this letter to show my full support to Murphy's Irish Pub's endeavors to create an
outdoor event and entertainment venue in front of their establishment As the only neighbor
living directly across the street from the proposed location I feel that outdoor activities such as
these can only improve and enhance the experience and enjoyment of the community. These
are the such things not different from the free entertainment offer by the city at its stages and
events along Atlantic Ave that greatly increase the appeal of our oceanfront as a premier
destination for music fans In general on a daily basis I observe these types of people as paying
well mannered individuals which can only help in the regrowth of the oceanfront front
establishments that were so drastically effected by the covid 19 economic crisis If all rules set
forth by the city pertaining to quiet hours and sound levels I can only imagine how something
like this can only improve the newly named Artery district which the city is working so hard to
improve the Laskin rd corridor Cheers to Murphys for all their hardwork and efforts to help this
effort and area

Virginia Beach,VA 23451 -
To Whom it May Concern,
This letter is in reference to Murphy's Irish Pub's request to construct an outdoor venue
consisting of a stage that will have insulated walls and a roof to help project the sound towards
the boardwalk and away from the neighborhood behind them. The rest of the space will be a
social area where people can play games like corn hole or have other events. Murphy's has had
live entertainment on their deck the last 5 years with no nuisance to the community or my
business. It has been quite the opposite. When events are offered by Murphy's, my foot traffic
grows, and everyone is happy. We as a business here at the Atlantic fully support the plans for
this stage and understand exactly what it is they are going for and hope this letter helps them
speed up the process.
If you should have any questions or concerns,please feel free to contact me at the restaurant at
757-422-2122 my cell at 757-839-3861 or via email at amato.vincentAgmail.com .

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: VIRGINIA BEACH DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY [Applicant] VIRGINIA
BEACH DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY & FROB, LLC [Property Owners]
Modification of Proffers to a Conditional Rezoning (Updating the Design
Criteria of Corporate Landing Business Park) for the property located at
Corporate Landing Business Park (GPINs 2415122650, 2415040770,
2415146859, 2415259170, 2415227788). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS
ANNE
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021
• Background:
This request was deferred by the City Council on September 21 , 2021 and
September 7, 2021 in order for the applicant to provide additional notification and
information to the adjacent property owners regarding the details of the proposed
changes to the Design Criteria for the Corporate Landing Business Park (the Park)
for properties under the ownership of the Virginia Beach Development Authority
and FROB, LLC. The applicant sent letters to 167 neighboring properties within
500 feet from the parcels associated with this request. A copy this notice is
attached.
The Park was established in 1988 and an update to the Design Criteria was last
completed in 1998. The proposed Design Criteria will be applicable to properties
owned by the Virginia Beach Development Authority and FROB, LLC. The
remainder of the Park will be subject to the current Design Criteria. The design
criteria provide guidance on land use, site design, building design, landscaping,
and signage to ensure a unified, qualitative park environment.
The updated design criteria for Corporate Landing Business Park will simplify the
review process for developments within the Park to one cohesive document and
align with current codes and regulations. Overall, the new design criteria will:
o Soften requirements for setbacks, parking, building materials, and
landscape screening, while maintaining guidelines to remain an attractive
"park-like" setting
o Permit more flexibility with new and innovative materials and construction
methods
o Provide more guidance on light industrial and advanced manufacturing
building types, orientation and façade articulation
Virginia Beach Development Authority
Page 2 of 3
The VBDA intends to continue to encourage the construction of attractive quality
environs through the updated criteria.
• Considerations:
Planning Commission concurs with Staff that the request to update the Design
Criteria for the Park is acceptable. The current Design Criteria are outdated and
no longer align with the development pattern that was originally envisioned for the
Park. The new Design Criteria seek to:
o Ensure that the Park remains relevant for current and future market
opportunities
o Reduce redundancy and better align the document with current codes and
requirements
o Consolidate multiple subsequent amendments into one user-friendly and
attractive document
o Permit more flexibility with new and innovative materials and construction
methods
o Provide more guidance on light industrial and advanced manufacturing
building types
If the design criteria update is not adopted, opportunities to grow and diversify the
local economy could be missed by the current design requirements and longer
entitlement process. The updated design criteria would create a more marketable
and comparative business park in the region.
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.
Along with the Adjacent Property Owner notifications required by law, Staff mailed
223 letters to individual property owners that according to City records own
property within 500 feet of the areas of the park where updates to the Design
Guidelines are proposed.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is seeking a Modification of Proffers to update the Design Criteria for a portion of Corporate Landing
Business Park(the Park). The Park property was rezoned in 1988 and the Design Criteria was adopted in 1990 with
an addendum added in 1998.
• Letters were mailed to property owners within the Park to allow them an opportunity to be a party to this
application. One property owner, FROB, LLC, accepted.
• The new Design Criteria seek to:
o Ensure the Corporate Landing Business Park remains relevant for current and future market opportunities;
o Reduce redundancy and better align the document with current codes and requirements;
o Consolidate multiple subsequent amendments into one user-friendly and attractive document;
o Permit more flexibility with new and innovative materials and construction methods; and
o Provide more guidance on light industrial and advanced manufacturing building types.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request to update the Design Criteria for Corporate Landing Business Park, in Staff's opinion, is acceptable.The
current Design Criteria is outdated and no longer aligns with the development pattern that was originally envisioned for
the Park. Other parcels within the Park were informed of the request to update the Design Criteria and opted not to be
included with this request.These properties will continue to be subject to the existing Design Criteria that was adopted
in 1990 and amended in 1998.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as being within the Special Economic Growth Area 3—South
Oceana. Portions of the area are impacted by high noise zones, accident potential zones and Navy restrictive easements.
All proposed land uses in this area must align with the City's AICUZ provisions and Oceana Land Use Conformity
program.
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.

Item # 8
Virginia Beach Development Authority [Applicant]
Virginia Beach Development Authority & FROB, LLC [Property Owners]
Modification of Proffers
Portion of Corporate Landing Business Park
August 11, 2021
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Wall: Okay, thank you Mr. Horsley. The next item on the consent agenda is agenda Item
#8, Virginia Beach Development Authority, and Virginia Beach Development
Authority, and FROB, LLC Modification of Proffers. Address is portion of the
Corporate Landing Business Park. Is there a representative for this item?
Mr. Royal: For the record, Randy Royal, Kimley-Horn and Associates. I'm kind of tagging that
John Richardson was formerly representing it, but I was representing Economic
Development. On this, I guess I can stand in if need be.
Mr. Wall: Are the proffers acceptable?
Mr. Royal: Yes sir.
Mr. Wall: All right.
Mr. Royal: Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Is there any opposition for this item being placed on the consent agenda?
Mr. Weiner: We are going to go ahead and read it. Mr. Redmond is going ahead and read this
into the record, if that's okay.
Ms. Smith: Excuse me, if we can make a clarification -- Mr. Royal.
Mr. Weiner: We understand that the Development Authority is the actual applicant.
Ms. Archer: I'm on the Economic Development department staff that helped, write that, and I'm
standing by.
Mr. Wall: Thank you. So I guess the proffers are acceptable in that case? So again, is there
any opposition for this item being placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none,
here we have asked Mr. Redmond to read this into the record.
1
Mr. Redmond: Thank you, Mr. Wall. This is an application by the Virginia Beach Development
Authority, owners of the property of Virginia Beach Development Authority and
FROB, LLC, which is an adjacent property owner. And this is a Modification of
Proffers. Specifically,the application is seeking a Modification of Proffers to update
the design criteria for a portion of Corporate Landing Business Park. Park property
was rezoned in 1988, and the design criteria was adopted in 1990, with an
amendment added in 1998. The new design criteria seek to ensure the Corporate
Landing Business Park remains relevant for current and future market
opportunities, reduce redundancy and to better align the document with current
codes and requirements. To consolidate multiple subsequent amendments into
one user friendly and attractive document, permit more flexibility with new and
innovative materials and construction methods and provide more guidance on light
industrial and advanced manufacturing building types. In short, the purpose of this
amendment is to modernize the design criteria --the 31-year old design criteria for
Corporate Landing Business Park, which very recently has enjoyed a burst of
interest and activity of which we all should be quite happy and proud. If you think
about it, the car you drove 31 years today is quite a bit different than the one you
might have today. And design criteria for a project the size of Corporate Landing,
very probably ought to be modernized just as your transportation means would be
as well. There is beginning on page three of the staff report on this particular item,
a table which lists the changes from the current design criteria to the updated
design criteria. I will not recite them all here. If anybody has any questions about
how specifically the criteria are changing, I would urge you to consult the staff
report on this. In short, it is a modernization of how Corporate Landing Business
Park is to be designed. The city and adjacent property owners are the applicants.
There is no opposition to the request. Planning Commission therefore places it on
consent, Mr. Wall.
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
2
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
been recommended for approval.

RE: Corporate Landing Business Park Design Criteria Update
Dear Neighbor of Corporate Landing Business Park,
The City of Virginia Beach Development Authority(the"VBDA") is requesting to update the Design
Criteria that were established for the Corporate Landing Business Park in 1990. A public hearing
before Virginia Beach City Council is scheduled for this item on October 19, 2021 at 6pm inside
the Council Chamber at City Hall. As a neighbor of Corporate Landing Business Park, we want to
make you aware of this initiative and provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and provide
comment. Please see more information about this below and contact information for comments
and questions.
What are the Corporate Landing Business Park Design Criteria?
Dating back to the 1990 legal establishment of Corporate Landing Business Park(the"Park"),
additional development restrictions were placed on properties within the Park to ensure a
unified, qualitative park environment was developed. The Design Criteria document provides
guidance on site design, setbacks, building design, landscaping and signage.
Why is the VBDA requesting to update the Design Criteria?
The current Design Criteria are over 30 years old and a modification is needed to remain
relevant for market opportunities. Some key changes to the Design Criteria are:
• Reduced redundancy with the Zoning Ordinance and current code requirements;
• Updated residential neighborhood setbacks, building setbacks and parking lot setbacks;
• Consolidated amendments into one user-friendly and attractive document;
• More permitted flexibility with new and innovative materials and construction methods; and
• Increased guidance on light industrial and advanced manufacturing building types.
The existing and updated design criteria as well as a detailed list of changes can be viewed at
www.vesvirqiniabeach.com/vbda
How does this affect my property?
The modification request does not apply to your property, only to the neighboring VBDA-owned
property and one property owned by FROB, LLC, see the map on the back of this page. This
letter serves as a courtesy to keep you informed of what is occurring in your neighboring area.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of JTR, LLC for the Closure of 1) an
Approximately 26,414 Sq. Ft. Portion of a Right-of-Way Known as Clipper Bay
Drive and 2) an Approximately 12,252 Sq. Ft. Portion of a Right-of-Way known as
Ocean Tides Drive
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021 (APPLICANT IS REQUESTING DEFERRAL)
• Background:
The applicant is requesting deferral of this application to the December 7, 2021
City Council meeting to address issues raised at the Planning Commission public
hearing.
JTR, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company(the "Applicant"), requests the closure
of an approximately 26,414 sq. ft. portion of Clipper Bay Drive and an
approximately 12,252 sq. ft. portion of Ocean Tides Drive (collectively, the "Rights-
of-Way"). The Rights-of-Way, which are partially improved and partially
unimproved, would be incorporated into the adjacent parcels owned by the
Applicant. The Applicant proposes to develop an apartment complex on the site.
Any sale of an interest in a public street or place (a "public place") requires a
recorded affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members elected to City Council
("super-majority vote"). Art. VII, § 9 Va. Const. and Va. Code §15.2-2100 (A). The
proposed Ordinance would authorize the sale of a public place, and the super-
majority vote requirement is noted at the end of the Ordinance.
• Considerations:
Although the Rights-of-Way are not used for vehicular traffic between Shore Drive
and Marlin Bay Drive, it appears that pedestrians use the Rights-of-Way for access
between Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive. Additionally, there is storm drainage
infrastructure in the portion of Ocean Tides Drive proposed for closure.
The Viewers determined that there are alternate routes that provide safe access
to and from the adjacent neighborhood and Shore Drive, and with the conditions
set forth below, the proposed closures will not result in a public inconvenience.
City staff received 9 letters of support and 349 letters of opposition of the proposed
closure of the Rights-of-Way and/or the associated Conditional Rezoning and
Conditional Use Permit. There was 1 speaker in support and 17 speakers in
opposition at the Planning Commission public hearing.

• Recommendation:
On September 8, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded
vote of 9-1, to recommend approval of the request to City Council with the following
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. Copies of the
policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The Applicant shall resubdivide the properties and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the Rights-of-Way into the adjoining parcels. The resubdivision plat
must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval. Said plat shall include the dedication of a 25' wide public drainage
easement along the eastern half of the proposed closure area of Ocean Tides
Drive, subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works, and the City
Attorney's Office, which easement shall include a reasonable right of ingress
and egress.
3. The Applicant, or the Applicant's successors or assigns, shall verify that no
private utilities exist within the Rights-of-Way proposed for the closure. If private
utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company, must be
provided.
4. Closure of the Rights-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved
for recordation within one year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-way
this approval shall be considered null and void.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• These requests were deferred by the Planning Commission on June 9, 2021 and again on July 14, 2021 per the
applicant's request in order to revise the Traffic Impact Study(TIS). This report has been updated since the original
publication for the June 9, 2021 Planning Commission public hearing to address the components of the updated TIS.
• The request is threefold and includes Street Closures,a rezoning and a Conditional Use Permit for multi-family
dwellings in the Shore Drive Overlay District. Specifically,the applicant seeks a Street Closure of approximately
26,400 square feet of Clipper Bay Drive and approximately 12,500 square feet of Ocean Tides Drive; a Conditional
Rezoning request from PD-H1 Planned Unit Development and B-2 Community Business District to Conditional B-4
Mixed Use District;and a Conditional Use Permit request to construct an apartment building complex with up to a
maximum of 197 multi-family dwelling units,at a density of 31.77 units per acre.
• Clipper Bay Drive and Ocean Tides Drive are partially improved with curb and gutter on a portion of Ocean Tides
Drive and gutter on Clipper Bay Drive.
• The proposed multi-family building varies in height of three to four stories.The proffered elevations depict a 4 1/2-
story parking garage wrapped with apartment units and a three-story western wing.The proffered elevations depict
the apartment building with architectural roof shingles, premium vinyl siding, brick veneer,vinyl column and
aluminum railings, board and batten and shake siding accents,and vinyl windows.
• The area available for commercial uses will be reduced from 3.20 acres to just over one acre. This area is located on
the eastern portion of the site and will continue to be occupied by the existing boat sales dealership and a possible
eating and drinking establishment,as depicted on the submitted renderings.The ultimate uses are subject to market
demand and as permitted by-right in the Zoning Ordinance.
• The proposed development requires a minimum of 390 parking spaces,358 spaces for the 197 multi-family dwelling
units and 32 spaces for the 12,000 square foot commercial building. The concept plan depicts 346 spaces within the
parking garage structure and 45 surface parking spaces,thereby exceeding the parking requirement by one space.
• The proffered concept plan depicts a 10-foot wide multi-use trail on the subject property along Shore Drive,
pedestrian pathways throughout the development, and a striped crosswalk to access the Pleasure House Point
Natural Area southwest of the development.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicants' requests for the closure of the rights-of-way,the Conditional Rezoning,and the Conditional Use Permit
to redevelop the 6.20-acre site in Staffs opinion are acceptable.
As required by City Code, a Viewers' Meeting was held on December 2, 2020,that included City Staff from the
Departments of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning&Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney,
to consider closure of portion of Clipper Bay Drive and Ocean Tides Drive.The Viewers noted that the residents of Ocean
Park do use this portion of Ocean Tides Drive or Clipper Bay Drive that are proposed for closure, and that there are
existing paved alternative routes that provide access to and from the neighborhood and the City park from Shore Drive
that include a safe and signalized intersection.Therefore,the Viewers determined that the proposed closure will not
result in any public inconvenience and closure of these portions of the rights-of-way are deemed acceptable.
While the proposed density at 31.77 units per acre is higher compared to developments in the immediate surrounding
area, in Staffs view the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's 2002 Shore Drive Corridor Design
Guidelines recommendation of low to medium density residential development within this"Mixed Zone" of the Shore
Drive Corridor. The Comprehensive Plan and Design Guidelines also encourage the revitalization and reuse of existing
commercial properties in the Corridor with uses that avoid over-commercialization and are mindful of land use
compatibility issues.The redevelopment of the storage yard with multi-family dwelling units provides a more desirable
as well as compatible transition of uses from Shore Drive to the residential dwellings within the neighborhood than the
existing use. This policy is also specifically addressed through this proposal with the reduction in the amount of
commercial acreage as well as the elimination of an undesirable use along the heavily traveled Shore Drive corridor.The
redevelopment will remove the aging bulk storage yard, developed in the 1980s prior to the requirement of a
Conditional Use Permit,that is not well-screened or well-organized.Today,the storage yard and its contents can be
easily seen from the surrounding rights-of-way and serves as an unattractive landmark at an entryway into the Ocean
Park neighborhood. The unscreened and unbuffered bulk storage yard is not ideally situated adjacent to dwellings and
as stated above not preferred along this portion of Shore Drive.

The Shore Drive Corridor Plan, part of the Comprehensive Plan's Reference Handbook, includes design
recommendations for the Shore Drive Corridor addressing setbacks, massing,scale and context, building materials,
pedestrian orientation,and parking location. Staff's review for consistency with the Shore Drive Corridor Design
Guidelines ("the Guidelines") is provided below.
Setbacks and Massing-The Guidelines recommend placing structures close to right-of-way lines to create more
architectural interest. Also recommended is that facades be articulated to reduce the scale of the structure and
the one-dimensional appearance of buildings to encourage a more human scale and pedestrian orientation.
Consistent with the Guidelines,the front facade of the building is located at the front yard setback and has
multiple street-oriented entrances with interesting architectural features such as porches and columns that
enhance the exterior appearance of the buildings and prevent linear massing.
Scale and Context-The immediate surrounding developments on the south side of Shore Drive consist of two-
story townhomes.The subject site is within the Mixed Zone of the Shore Drive Corridor and fronts Shore Drive,
where a higher and denser development is more appropriate. Less than half a mile east of the subject site, before
the Lesner Bridge,there are apartment buildings as tall as 15-stories that are also located within the Mixed Zone
of the Shore Drive Corridor. It should also be noted that the building height for by-right developments within the
existing B-2 Community Business District, of which there is 3.20 acres, can be built up to a height of 200 feet.
Building Materials-The Guidelines specifically call for high-quality materials for the walls, roofs,windows and
doors.The proffered elevations identify materials and design elements of architectural roof shingles, premium
vinyl siding, brick veneer,vinyl column and aluminum railings, board and batten and shake siding accents,and
vinyl windows,all of which are consistent with the Guidelines with the exception of the wall materials.The
exterior walls will include of the use of premium vinyl siding and brick veneer while the Guidelines recommend use
of"clad in wood, cedar shingles, hardboard siding, lightweight concrete siding,or shingles."
Pedestrian Orientation-The conceptual site layout depicts a 10-foot multi-use trail along Shore Drive to be
installed by the applicant. Pedestrian pathways are provided throughout the development for access to the
parking garage, community amenities,commercial space, and public streets. In addition,a striped crosswalk will
be provided to access the Pleasure House Point Trail located west of this development.The multiple pedestrian
access points and green space along Shore Drive achieve a multi-modal option for residents.
Parking—The proposed four and a half-story parking structure is wrapped by the four-story apartment building,
which creates a more aesthetically pleasing design that blends in with the surrounding residential community.
With the exception of parking area for the existing boat sales dealership located between the building and public
street,that does not conform with the Guidelines,all new surface parking spaces are located toward the rear of
the building and screened from the public rights-of-way as recommended in the Guidelines.
The concept plan indicates a proposed community identification signage at the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin
Bay Drive. An exhibit of the freestanding sign was not provided with the submittal; however, a condition is
recommended that such a sign have a brick base, be no taller than eight feet high and eight feet long, be externally lit,
and be constructed with materials and colors that complement the exterior of the proposed apartment building.The
submitted renderings also depicts an iconic identification feature,specifically a sculpture, at the entrance along Shore
Drive.A condition is recommended for the installation of such a feature and will be reviewed at final site plan.
While not required, a preliminary stormwater management analysis was submitted to the Development Services Center
(DSC)outlining the proposed stormwater strategy for this site.The DSC has reviewed the preliminary stormwater
analysis and finds that the submitted stormwater strategy has the potential to successfully comply with stormwater
regulations for this site. More detailed information can be found in the Stormwater Impacts section of this report.

The applicant submitted a revised Traffic Impact Study(TIS)for review on August 20,2021.The revised TIS considers
traffic volume for developments on the B-2 and PD-H1 zoning districts that could be constructed today as a matter of
right. The TIS assumes that the B-2 zoned parcel (2.08-acre),excluding the 1.04-acre portion that is occupied by the
Lynnhaven Marine Boat Retail, could be developed with a 4,000 square foot eating and drinking establishment with a
drive-through and 26 multi-family units could be developed on the 1.9-acre portion zoned PD-H1.The combined average
daily trips(ADT)for these developments could be up to 2,074. However, multi-family development within the Shore
Drive Overlay District would be subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit;therefore,Staff excluded the ADT
generation of the 26 dwellings from this analysis.The ADT generation from a fast food restaurant with a drive-through
could be up to 1,884,which is approximately 30% more trips when compared to the 1,448 ADT generated by the
proposed 197 multi-family units.
The TIS indicates that the overall operations at the Shore Drive/Marlin Bay Drive intersection will be acceptable in the
peak hours with the proposed development. However,the TIS shows that the delays for traffic on northbound Marlin Bay
Drive will increase significantly with this development in the AM and PM peak hours if the signal timing at this intersection
is not modified to provide more green time for the Marlin Bay Drive movements. The applicant's engineer performed a
signal system retiming study to show that Shore Drive corridor traffic would not be significantly impacted by giving green
time to the northbound approach and taking time away from Shore Drive at this intersection. The revised TIS also
recommends for an installation of a left-turn lane on westbound Shore Drive at the Ocean Tides Drive/Powhatan Avenue
intersection for vehicles turning into the proposed development. The applicant submitted a revised concept layout plan
that included the new left-turn lane as recommended by the TIS. Traffic Engineering has reviewed the revised TIS and
concurs with its findings.
With respect to school impacts,Virginia Beach City of Public Schools Staff finds that the number of students generated
by the development can be accommodated for the respective grade and attendance zone. The schools are all currently
within an acceptable utilization range of+/-10%of optimum capacity.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of these applications,subject to the proffers and conditions
below.
The applicant met with the Ocean Park Civic League and Shore Drive Community Coalition to discuss the details of the
requests. Details of the project are also posted on a website created by the applicant. The applicant discussed the
elements of the project with the Bayfront Advisory Commission (BAC) and their design committee.The BAC
recommended that the south wing of the building adjacent to existing townhouses be reduced from four to three
stories. While the applicant did not make this adjustment,the scale of the proposal was reduced from the original
request of 227 multi-family dwelling units to 197. The BAC passed a motion to not support the project stating that it did
not meet the density recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan or the elements of the Design Guidelines in terms of
the scale and context of new buildings in relation to the character of the site.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being in Suburban Focus Area 1—Shore Drive Corridor.The Shore Drive
Corridor is an integral part of the Bayfront Community, extending from North Independence Boulevard to First Landing
State Park.While primarily a residential community,the corridor shares the responsibility of being one of Virginia
Beach's primary east-west connectors,creating unique and sometimes problematic challenges.The area is considered a
resort neighborhood and not a resort destination.The Shore Drive Corridor is primarily a residential neighborhood area
with commercial uses to support the residents.
The Shore Drive Corridor is an integral part of the Bayfront Community,extending from North Independence Boulevard
to First Landing State Park.While primarily a residential community,the corridor shares the responsibility of being one
of City's primary east-west connectors.The area is considered a resort neighborhood and not a resort destination. It is
also characterized with primarily neighborhood residential area, commercial uses that supports the neighborhoods,and
passive recreational and tourism activities. Similar to all the Suburban Areas in the City,the character of the established
neighborhoods along the Corridor must be preserved and protected.Though revitalization and reuse of existing
commercial properties in the Corridor is encourage, one must be mindful of the land use compatibility and avoidance of
over-commercialization to ensure that resort-based uses complement rather than dominate the Corridor. Future
residential uses should strive to achieve the lowest reasonable density to be compatible with the existing neighborhood
residential density.
Planning policies that apply to this request include improving the land use compatibilities, avoiding over-
commercialization, preserving and protecting the character of established neighborhoods and achieving the lowest
reasonable density for future residential uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.The site is also located in the AE and X Flood Zones with a Base
Flood Elevation of seven feet.There do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the
site.

Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
The project site consists of 5.82 acres consisting of multiple parcels and rights-of-ways and proposes a net reduction of
0.57 acres of impervious cover from existing condition.The northern portion of the project currently drains to the public
drainage system in Shore Drive, and the southern portion drains to the public drainage system in Ocean Tides Drive and
Marlin Bay Drive.The majority of the proposed development is designed to drain to proposed onsite stormwater
management facilities (SWMFs) before discharging to the public drainage systems in Ocean Tides Drive and Marlin Bay
Drive. The portion of the project that will continue to drain to Shore Drive has been reduced in both total area and
impervious area.
The proposed SWMFs will consist of two underground detention systems that will be located under the proposed
grassed areas, parking lot, and parking garage. The underground detention systems will be used to satisfy water
quantity requirements, and offsite nutrient credits will be used to satisfy water quality requirements. The preliminary
grading plans propose filling the site to an elevation of 7'to 8' above sea level (existing grades ranging from elevation 4'
to 7')to elevate the site/buildings above the FEMA Base Flood Elevation of 7'. The proposed detention chambers will
replicate the stormwater storage volume lost by filling the site.
The provided preliminary stormwater management design demonstrates conveyance of the runoff from the proposed
development for storms up to and including the 100-year event plus 1.5' of sea-level rise (SLR). The submitted
stormwater model included an offsite analysis to verify that the project will not have a negative impact or increase
flooding levels on the existing stormwater system upstream or downstream.
Based on the information provided by the Timmons Group in the Preliminary Stormwater Analysis,the DSC agrees that
the proposed conceptual stormwater management strategy has the potential to successfully comply with the
stormwater requirements. Final design and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal. More detailed
project stormwater information is listed below.

Stormwater Management Facility Design Information
Type of facility proposed: Underground detention
Total storage volume provided in proposed stormwater management facilities: 113,248 cubic feet
Description of outfall: Drainage from the north side of the property drains to the public drainage system in Shore Drive
which continues through Ocean Park to a stormwater pump station on Powhatan Avenue. The stormwater pump station
discharges through a closed pipe system to outfall into Pleasure House Creek south of Shore Drive. The underground
detention systems discharge into public drainage systems in Ocean Tides Drive and Marlin Bay Drive;those two systems
combine at the same outfall pipe under Marlin Bay Drive. This outfall pipe discharges to a series of interconnected
ponds and channels before reaching Pleasure House Creek.
Downstream conveyance path: Pleasure House Creek connects directly to Lynnhaven Bay

Mr. Weiner: I want to say a couple of words real quick before we get started. We like doing this,
Planning Commissioners, and just wanted to take a few seconds to say a couple
of things. And we as Planning Commissioners, we actually have a role, and the
role of a Planning Commissioner is look at proper land use, okay, whether it would
be stormwater, natural resources, traffic, things like that. And I'm looking at people
out here and I just want to point out one thing, please treat people the way you'd
like to be treated. Okay, I've not had any problems with anybody on the phone. I've
talked to quite a few people on the phone. I've had quite a few emails from
everybody. Let's just treat everybody with respect, okay, and courtesy, and we will
have a lot of fun up here. I want to point out a couple things. If you are here to talk
as a group, or talk for a group or a Civic League, you'll get 10 minutes. Okay, for
that one person, everybody else will get three, you'll see a yellow light come on,
on the podium. When the little yellow light comes on, you have 30 seconds to finish
up your comments. And when the red light comes on, we're going to ask you to
stop. We have a lot of speakers and we want to hear everybody and give
everybody the fair amount of time to talk. Okay, thank you.
Madam Clerk: Okay, our next orders of business are agenda items 6, 7, 8 and 9. Items six and
seven are an application by JTR LLC for street closures on a portion of Ocean
Tides Drive, south of Shore Drive and north of Clipper Bay Drive and a portion of
1
Clipper Bay Drive right of way, south of Shore Drive and west of Ocean Tides Drive
in the Bayside District. Eight and nine are an application by MP Shore LLC for a
Conditional Change of Zoning (B-2 and PDH-1 Districts to Conditional B-4 Mixed
Use District) and a Conditional Use Permit (Multi-Family Dwellings) on property
located at 3829 and 3785 Shore Drive, adjacent parcel between Marlin Bay Drive
and 3829 Shore Drive in the Bayside District.Would the applicant or the applicant's
representative please step to the podium.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Ms. Murphy: Good afternoon Chairman, Vice Chairman, members of the Planning Commission,
Mr. Tajan and Ms. Eisenberg and Planning staff. For the record, my name is Lisa
Murphy and I'm a local zoning attorney with an office at 440 Monticello Ave, Suite
2200 in the City of Norfolk. I'm here today on behalf of the applicants Marlin Bay
LLC, JTR, Shore Drive area properties and Bay Liner LLC, in connection with
agenda item six and seven, which are the Street Closure applications, and items
eight and nine, which are the Conditional Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit
applications. These would allow for the redevelopment of approximately 6.3 acres
from B-2, and PD-H1 to B-4 SD Overlay in order to construct and operate 197 unit
multifamily apartment building with an existing active boat sales facility with space
for additional complimentary retail uses. By way of background, the owners of the
subject properties,the McCleskey and Browning families are long term landowners
who are very active in the community. They carefully selected the Terry Peterson
Companies as the developer for the properties based on the company's stellar
reputation as a local developer with a long track record of high quality projects and
a long term investment philosophy. As you all know, the Terry Peterson
Companies will develop a project and they will continue to own it, they won't flip it
to a, you know, a hedge fund out of Northern Virginia or New York they will own it,
they will maintain it and they have a very good track record of doing so. The
proposed redevelopment project and rezoning reflects years of study, analysis,
market research and outreach and represents really the highest and best use of
this prominent gateway to the City along Shore Drive. As you know, this is one of
the City's primary East-West connectors. The Marlin Bay mixed use project
involves as I mentioned the redevelopment of approximately 6.3 acres from B-2
and PD-H1 to B-4.And as I said it allows for the demolition of a boat trailer, storage
yard, and indoor and outdoor boat and RV storage building, and then the
construction of the new high end residential apartment community with the existing
boat dealership and an additional space left over. Just wanted to touch on a few
high points, the applicant after conducting outreach as you all know with various
stakeholders reduced the total unit count of the project by 30 units from 227 to 197
units. Doing this allowed the applicant to reduce the height of the section of the
building and you all talked about this a little bit at your informal from four stories to
three stories. That's that wing that faces the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin
Bay Drive. The section of the wings of the building that will remain four stories
2
conceal the parking structure, which provides full parking for all of the complex as
the staff report indicates, with a combination of uses, they still have one more
parking space than they're actually required to have. It's important to note, you all
discussed the fact that this complies with the Comprehensive Plan,the Shore Drive
Guidelines and the Corridor Overlay. The applicant in this case, although they
could, is not requesting deviations from any of the standard requirements; they
meet all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including the Shore Drive
Overlay. The apartment community itself will feature high end amenities including
resort style courtyard pool, multi-story clubhouse and fitness facility, bike storage,
kayak paddleboard, package delivery and a conference facility. It's also going to
have a two story clubhouse and fitness facility, so this will be consistent with other
very high end apartment communities in the city. The architecture of the building
is designed to blend with the Bayfront community, and to create a bold statement
to define this strategic focus area. The applicants have proffered the installation of
a 10-foot multi use trail along the entirety of the frontage on Shore Drive together
with providing pedestrian pathways throughout the development and a striped
crosswalk to access the Pleasure House Point area. I wanted to just touch briefly
on the street closure, it's the section of—that's not the pointer. There we go. Let's
get back, it's the section of Clipper Bay from Shore Drive. There we go. It exists
here right now. That's Clipper Bay from Shore Drive to Ocean Tides and then
Ocean Tides will remain as part of this street closure requirement. The reviewers
went out and evaluated that area and determined that there would not be an
inconvenience to the public, to go ahead and close that and include it in the overall
redevelopment of these five parcels. Let's take a look at your staff analysis, as a
result of the carefully planned placement and design to the proposed
improvements, the mixed use redevelopment project complies as staff indicates
with the Comprehensive Plan, the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District
requirements and the design guidelines. It's located within a mixed use zone of the
Shore Drive corridor where the Comprehensive Plan and the design guidelines
encourage revitalization and reuse of existing commercial properties. In fact, it
stresses that uses should avoid the over commercialization and be mindful of land
use compatibility. So we've got 3.2 acres that's currently in B-2 that's actually going
to be reduced to just over an acre that will be in that commercial component. As
the staff report indicates, because the subject property is within the mixed zone of
the Shore Drive and front Shore Drive, a higher density development is more
appropriate. Less than a half mile from the site, there are apartment buildings
within the mixed zone that are over 15 stories tall. Most of the buildings nearby are
three stories or taller. And in fact, on the 3.2 acre portion of the property currently,
which is zoned B-2, the owners could build a 200 foot building by-right and this is
indicated in your staff report. The redevelopment of the unsightly boat trailer
storage yard with a high end department community with an active boat dealership
provides a much more desirable and more compatible transition of uses from
Shore Drive to the residential dwellings within Ocean Park. Likewise, the design
and orientation of the building, the setback from the intersection, which I think Mr.
3
Inman had a question about that, from the road itself, the building is set back 60 to
80 feet. And at that intersection, if you see there, it actually looks like there's we
haven't measured it, it's more than 80 feet. And that was something that the
applicant did at the request of the community to sort of pull the project away from
the intersection. That gives us the ability to do more open space, more passive
uses. So, it's very, there'll be lush landscaping; you've got the open space. You'll
also have an art design feature which will be an iconic identification feature. And
then as I indicated, the multi-use trail ensures that the proposed development is
complimentary to the natural resource and open space of the city's Pleasure House
Point Park. The multi-use trail as Mr. Lowman indicated is something that the city
is going to be developing in phase four the Shore Drive improvement project. This
is a big section of Shore Drive that the applicant will actually be dedicating and
improving so they can continue this very nice resource for the people that live along
Shore Drive. Most everybody agrees, you know, you look for the things that people
agree on most, everybody agrees that the project is very attractive, and it will make
this a much more appealing and impressive gateway to the city. As I mentioned, it
will enhance the Shore Drive corridor to reflect the area's unique character, making
the corridor functional and attractive scenic gateway and access way to the resort
destination. Wanted to touch on a couple of more things, the benefits. Stormwater
impacts, the subject property is currently improved with gravel, paved parking and
buildings. It's almost entirely impervious, and it was developed at a time when the
city did not have stormwater regulations in place. By redeveloping this property,
the applicant is actually reducing the impervious cover by over a half acre and
they're bringing it up to the current high standard regulations. Stormwater
management facilities will be underground and stormwater will be treated before it
is discharged both for quantity and quality. As a result, the total area will continue
that will continue to drain into Shore Drive and Marlin Bay and Ocean Tides has
actually been reduced both in area and impervious cover. The new traffic impact
analysis, the applicant studied the area, the signal timing, and as the staff report
indicates, with changes to the signal timing at the intersection of Shore Drive and
Marlin Bay Drive that allows for more green time for Marlin Bay Drive movements.
And then the installation of left turn lane into the property for westbound Shore
Drive, all of the intersections will continue to operate at the same level of service.
So this is not going to have a negative impact on traffic. The applicant, and this is
something that normally comes up quite a bit, has proffered that it will reduce
existing curb cuts through the revised, the new site plan. So instead of having four
curb cuts, which you have now long Shore Drive, there'll be one on Shore Drive
and then the one of Marlin Bay. This will impact, this is something that normally
doesn't get looked at, but the city's economist has looked at this even with the
reduced number of units, and they're predicting that over the next 20 years, the
project will result in nearly$4 million in net revenue to the city. So it's very rare that
you have a residential project or mixed use project that actually contributes net
revenue to the city. In conclusion today, you will hear, no doubt you have heard a
lot of negative speculation and conjecture regarding the impact of the proposed
4
redevelopment project on the community. Despite the applicant's best efforts to
get out the facts and to address community concerns,through months of outreach
and studies resulting in significant changes to key components of the project. The
speculation and conjecture you will hear regarding the impact of the proposed
project simply ignores the facts recognized by your professional planning staff and
city engineers. This has been studied by the technical folks whose job it is to study
this and they are comfortable. The Marlin Bay mixed use redevelopment project
will revitalize and upgrade this critical gateway and access way to the city and is
the highest and best use of this valuable corner. As the staff report indicates and
as I've mentioned already, it does comply with the Comprehensive Plan, the Shore
Drive Corridor Overlay and the Shore Drive design guidelines. Commissioner
Oliver had a question about the siding. We had, as Hoa indicated, that was not
something that had come up before the Bayfront Area Advisory Commission,when
they looked at the building materials, they didn't take issue with any of the building
materials. It's our thought after really researching this, that that would be that vinyl
would be an appropriate siding and would actually stand up better and look better
over time than the hardy plank type products, but if you know, because the
multifamily is a Conditional Use Permit that's something certainly that if the
Commission felt strongly about, that we could add a condition to address that. As
I indicated, staff is recommending approval of all four applications.We respectfully
request that you also recommend approval and I'm happy to answer any questions
that you have. And if not, I'll stand by for rebuttal.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions? Yes.
Mr. Graham: I'm sure I'll have more questions after we hear the speakers. I just saw the siding.
Is it a premium quality vinyl siding? Or is it, can you or the builder or developer
described the siding?
Ms. Murphy: Yeah, it is a high quality premium vinyl siding where they've actually looked into
what's going to stand the test of time. John, do you want to come up and address
the siding?Because again, until very recently,this wasn't a question that had come
up with us.
Mr. Peterson: Good afternoon. John Peterson, representing MP Shore LLC.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Mr. Peterson: The siding that we would be proposing is the premium vinyl siding. The way that's
typically measured is based on thickness. It's 0.44 inches. And it has several
benefits over the cementitious siding, hardie plank, everything from color to wear
and tear, and even some environmental impacts as well. That's why we've chosen
to use that material.
5
Mr. Graham: This is a little bit of a loaded question, I guess, because I have hardie plank on my
house and hardie planks. I love hardie plank. But the problem with it is that it does
need to be repainted, recaulked, and it does fade.This vinyl siding, how does color
— how long does it last before it starts fading?
Mr. Peterson: The color should be indefinite. That's the one of the major benefits of it. I think that
to put some context on this, vinyl siding today is not what vinyl siding was 30 years
ago. And it's because of the fact that hardie plank and the other brand of
cementitious siding gained popularity. So vinyl manufacturers had to figure out
what was deficient about their product and they've improved it tremendously.
Color, you know, retaining color is one of the biggest things and you don't have to
paint it.
Mr. Graham: This has the same appearances as the hardie plank?
Mr. Peterson: It does.
Mr. Graham: That I just wanted to kind of clarify that. It is, you know, we'll get more into it later.
I think it's important that whatever goes here will last.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I hope this isn't out of turn. But I just wanted to mention in kind of as a corollary to
what you just said. This question of premium siding first came up that I remember
here,when we were looking at a an apartment complex off of Newtown Road called
Nexus that Boyd Companies built. You're a developer, you're familiar with it I'm
sure, that was the first time I ever heard the term of premium siding and the same
question came up and in the course of that debate, they'd said it's thicker. You
don't see seams as much, it doesn't warp, doesn't bend, it doesn't you know, it's
durable, it's much more durable, it doesn't fade anywhere near as well. You go
down that and that was some years ago, if you go down Newtown Road, that's a
pretty good looking project. It's very attractive project and sticks out like a sore
thumb on that part of Newtown Road simply by virtue of it's, you know, of its fine
appearance. So I've just wanted to add that because I forget about it later on.
Mr. Weiner: And it was a long time ago. That was a while ago. That was a while ago. Yeah,
that project still does look good.
Mr. Redmond: It still does look good.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, any other questions?
Ms. Klein: I have one for the attorney, what is the price point for the apartments?
6
Ms. Murphy: John, do you want to? Do you just want to address the price point for the
apartment?
Mr. Peterson: At this point, it is just projections, but I think that you could look at a one bedroom
that'd be probably starting around $1,400.
Ms. Klein: And how many square feet is that?
Mr. Peterson: Around 800 square feet.
Ms. Klein: Thank you.
Ms. Murphy: That's what I was gonna say. It's keeping in line with the Pearl Project, which is I
don't know if you were on the commission at the time that was done, it reassures.
Mr. Inman: Well, he's on that topic, what's the mix of number of bedrooms, three bedroom,
two bedroom, one bedroom?
Mr. Peterson: Right now we're projecting, and this could change when we get into actual design.
It's a roughly 40 to 43%, one bedroom, and then about 50, I can't do the quick math
50, a little over 50% two bedroom, and there's only a handful of three bedrooms.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Wall, any questions?
Mr. Wall: Can we get to the layout for the apartment complex? There's a couple things to
that one. A couple of things, so the question was asked this morning, which ones
are the three, not the three, the three story and the four story I think that was just
to set the context?
Ms. Murphy: This section right here, facing that intersection, right was the one they were able
to reduce to three stories. And then right here is your parking structure. And then
around the parking structure, you've got the four stories that are meant to conceal
the parking structure. So you're not seeing our construction.
Ms. Wall: What about the club? I mean, obviously that the pool was in the center. Where's
the clubhouse that you? You said it was a two story clubhouse?
Ms. Murphy: Yep.
Mr. Peterson: It's actually just two and, you know, playing right out of the pool itself. It's actually
built into the building.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so it's part of the structure.
7
Mr. Peterson: That's correct.
Mr. Wall: But that's four stories right there. So is that?
Mr. Peterson: Two stories of the common area, and then there'll be two stories of apartment.
Mr. Wall: Okay, all right. And the landscaping, there's the access drive on the kind of the
south side on the bottom that connects to Marlin Bay Drive. What is — so there's
landscaping on that side adjacent to the existing properties, right there. What is
that maybe I over looked at, what is that? What is the plan to be?
Mr. Peterson: The requirement in this zoning category is a 15 foot landscaping buffer, so those
are the—I don't know the exact species, but they'd be very tall, dense trees.
Mr. Wall: But right there, that's four stories. So I mean, they have to be pretty tall too.
because they'd be looking, those four stories would be looking down into the
existing, kind of existing properties, because those are only generally two stories
that are adjacent, there.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Bradley?
Mr. Bradley: I've got a question just about parking in general. And maybe this is kind of a
preliminary stage for you. But I know you meet the minimum zoning, but how are
you going to allocate it when you got one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom.
In my experience, when I go to apartment complexes, there is always very few
guest parking spaces available, and it's hard to access them a lot of times.
Mr. Peterson: Well, we had not determined whether we would do assigned parking spaces.
That's a kind of a market question. Candidly, we think that the parking ratio that's
required as a minimum is higher than necessary. And that's not conjecture that's
based on experience of the other couple thousand apartments that we either are
managing or own. And we have parking ratios that are typically lower than the
parking ratio that we have here. And we don't have any parking issues there. So
that's based, that's how we kind of arrived at parking numbers, but ultimately, we
had to meet the minimum in working with the planning staff.
Mr. Inman: How many parking spaces are there?
Mr. Peterson: I don't remember the number.
Ms. Murphy: I believe, it's 390. Let's see 390 spaces, actually 391 spaces, 358 for the
multifamily, and then you've got 32 spaces for the commercial building.
Mr. Inman: How many for the residential?
8
Ms. Murphy: 358 for the multifamily part of it.
Mr. Inman: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you. Oh I am sorry.
Mr. Wall: So this is kind of a general question. But so the reference guidelines and reference
documents from the Comprehensive Plan, I think you analysed these referenced
Comprehensive Plan shows the Shore Drive Corridor Plan, which are both fairly
dated in early 2000s, even late 1990s, I think is from the ULI. They were approved
and included and they included even the Pleasure House Point Park,as you know,
fairly large developments. Did you all review those? And, you know, in terms of
when you were, you know, doing your research? It's kind of an open questions,
but I'm just curious what your review, because it's,those are dated.You mentioned
the apartments aren't from the late 1990s. It even says apartments aren't, weren't
even viable. They mentioned the Marina Shores as being viable. But I guess the
market conditions have changed to the point that apartments are now. I mean,
clearly, there are other apartment complexes on Shore Drive, but.
Ms. Murphy: Yeah, and I can tell you just from having represented them, the other project at
Marina Shores, The Pearl, they're actually getting rents in excess of what they've
projected in their early pro-formas. Because there's so much demand in the
corridor. So you've got not only do you have younger people that we're trying to
attract as part of our workforce to the city, but you also have older folks who want
to stay in the corridor, you know, sell their home and they can stay in an apartment
and be around their grandkids and go to the same restaurants that they always go
to. So, you know, in the 20-25 years since the plan was done, you've seen a
tremendous increase in the need for multifamily, high quality multifamily, but you've
also seen a real decrease in the need for retail. If you look up and down that
corridor there are empty strip centers, you've got vape shops, you know, local
breweries here and there, but there's a real struggle now for retail. And so one of
the things that the applicants did was they really studied, okay - what's going to
be successful here? What can the market support and that retail piece of it no
matter how they looked at it, no matter where they looked? There really is not a
big demand because you don't have although it seems like a big population, a lot
of areas that you're covering is water. So there are fewer people that you would
think within the projected area.
Mr. Graham: Mr. Wall, you done? I was going to kind of follow up on that if I could. I drive by this
every day and there's a lot of—there's two bank buildings, former bank buildings
that are vacant. One of them has about three foot high grass out front. There is a
— there's a tobacco shop. I think there's maybe two or three vape shops,
laundromat, I mean there. The Shore Drive area and Great Neck area and I live in
the area, I think is one of the best places to live in Virginia Beach. We have had a
9
revolving door of restaurants and retail and I would love to see some of the stuff
that's along Shore Drive go away. But that's a whole another subject.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Right, we will get back to you, thank you. Madam clerk.
Madam Clerk: Okay. First speaker, is Danny Murphy here? Okay, Danny Murphy, followed by
Cole Trower.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Murphy: Danny Murphy. President of Ocean Park Civic League.
Mr. Weiner: Sir, can you move here and handed it over to the clerk and she'll take care of that.
So you can start speaking.
Mr. Murphy: Thank you. Again, my name is Danny Murphy; I am the president of the Ocean
Park Civic League. And first of all, I'd like to thank you all. I've been kind of stalking
you over the last couple of months, watching what you do. And I know that you are
very considerate and thoughtful. I've spoken to a number of you. I've spoken to a
number of the city staff, and you're all very professional, I appreciate that. I'd also
like to take the opportunity to thank the developers and the owners of the property.
We need to remain friends after this no matter what. I know, there's a lot of stiff
opposition to it. But I really do think that this isn't the only thing going on. I'd like to
apologize to them also for the graffiti that was placed on their banner, we do not
condone that. We should operate in a civil manner. So I hope you will take my
sincere apology for that. I don't know who did it. And if I did, I would certainly have
words with them. So you kind of got me off, because I thought we were doing two
different ones here. It's the street closure. Okay. Well, first of all, I'd like to tell you
that we do oppose it, we have met with them a number of times, twice, you know,
we kind of did the little dance or the poker game where they came in with 227 the
first, you know, 27, broke it down to 197. And since then, there really have not
been any negotiations whatsoever. I will say there was some discussions about
other properties within the community. But there was no serious discussion on the
number of units. Our biggest issue is density. Everything is a waterfall from density,
all the issues that we have with traffic, with parking, with the environmental impact
comes from the density of this, this unit or the project that they're trying to do. I'll
start off first telling you a little bit about the density. The plan says that there is
31.77 units on that lot there. That is because we're using the boat sales lot to call
that a zoning lot. They've taken the straight away, they're going to put an alley
there so they can get through the mixed use or they can get to the zoning lot with
only a 20 foot alleyway in between, they can then use the 6.2 acres, as the
calculation for the density is effectively over 40 units per acre. And that's
significant. The other thing is they're using mixed use being business. We just
heard that retail is not being used very often on Shore Drive, if there's not much of
10
a need for there.Yet,they're telling us well,we're going to put this boat sales,we're
going to have retail commercial there. But we already know it doesn't work. So
what's going to happen in 5 or 10 years, they're going to proffer that they're not
going to develop it. We know how proffers work. We've seen it at Marina Shores
with tennis courts there, come back in a couple of years and say, Hey, you know,
there's a 40 per unit building here. Let's put 25 or 30 per unit on this other one. The
biggest problem with that is a zoning lot is that it's not true mixed use in terms of
what the city had designed, It is strictly or not strictly, it is supposed to be used for
more urban settings, such as Town Center, strategic growth areas, and not in the
strategic focus areas of residential.The biggest issue they have with that right now
is that if you look at the— if you look at the definition of mixed use, it says two or
more separate uses allowed as a principle or conditional use, that are physically
and functionally integrated. So we've got an existing boat sales, we're going to
take, we're going to say, hey, let's lock it all together and call it a zoning lot, it's not
integrated. It actually is only using 2000 square feet for anything other than the
boat sales and to boot,they don't have the parking requirements for that 32 spaces
for 12,000 square feet is nowhere near enough.They're fine on the apartment side,
but they're not talking about that and the Comprehensive Plan points that out. The
other problem is that zoning or mixed use says it must be within the same structure.
That is clearly two structures. There's going to be the apartment complex, and then
there's going to be the retail and it straddles that, and if you look at the definition,
clearly not within that. The other issues that I have with it, obviously the guidelines
when we talk about that, it does not meet the intent to develop mixed use as a
principle tool for redevelopment as a preferred land use pattern in the strategic
growth areas. Shore Drive is not a strategic growth area. As I mentioned, the
proffers, talked a little bit about density in the packet that I gave out to you there.
We know that the Comprehensive Plan says that the infill should be compatible
with the density and preserving and protecting the character of established
neighborhoods and achieving the lowest reasonable density for future residential
uses. As you can clearly see, as I said, effectively that's 40 units per acre they're
putting there. If you take it, and you look at and say, what are they actually
developing, they are not developing the boat sales, they're only developing the
one, the two lots actually PD-H1 and B-2 there. You'll notice that I pulled the open
data set of address points and I plotted those out individually and I also plotted the
197 units that they want to put on that four acres of land. You'll see that there are
roughly 1563 units in Ocean Park. I include Aries on the Bay, Pelican Dunes with
that because the primary egress and access is from Shady Oaks Drive. If you look
at the density of those other ones, the closest one is 50 units per acre, and that's
at the Chesapeake House that was built in 1975. That was even before we had a
Comprehensive Plan. If you look directly across the street, there's A-18 that was a
B2 project that was turned similarly into apartments, A-18 those condos, the
density is significantly lower on those, it's only 12 per acre. If you look at the other
B-4 properties within that area, the Villas at Ocean Park, Vintage Point,
Townhomes at Roanoke, Pendleton, Bar Harbor condos, Bay Vista. They're all
11
below that 31 point and significantly, as you get closer to Pleasure House Point in
the green zone. Yes, it is in the mixed use of the Shore Drive area, but it's on the
border of the green zone, meaning Marlin Bay is the dividing line. It sits on the very
edge right next to the pristine 118 acres of Pleasure House Point. Yes, it's
reclaimed natural area, but it gets significant traffic. Let's see, I think the biggest
concern is what it's going to do for the neighborhood, to be honest. I look at what
they're trying to do. I'm not insensitive to the building costs, I understand putting
the garage and the retention vaults and everything costs money. And I know that,
you know, currently, we're certainly experiencing a lack of affordable housing. I
think we would have to go far to stretch that this is may not be affordable housing.
It's called luxury apartments for a reason. Not that I'm not going to say it's not going
to have any impact. But I believe the impact putting 200 units on four acres within
a historic Bayfront community is certainly going to have a huge impact. It's going
to have cascading effects. I expect my other colleagues will talk somewhat about
that, walk you through the individual points. But at this point, I'd like to know who
has the first question.
Mr. Weiner: Questions. Yes, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: First off, I appreciate your call. I'm one of those guys that you had a good
conversation with. And the other thing I want to say is I appreciate your apology. I
was appalled frankly at the vandalism on this site. Vandalism has no part, not only
in any public policy debate, doesn't have any part in the city at all. So it's property
crime. So and you're the first person who's ever — I've heard express that. So I
think that was important. And I appreciate that. You did a good job.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you, sir. Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: So would you be opposed if they — I'm not saying this is anything that we would
recommend but, I mean, let's say the apartments just, any apartments there would
you be opposed?
Mr. Murphy: Oh, I'm not opposed to apartments whatsoever. We don't care. I mean, you could
put condos there, 200 condos that have the same effect. I believe that we do need
apartments within the city. It's not the apartments I oppose, or you know, I think we
oppose. We're looking for, you know, I think what they presented is the maximum
use for that property with 200 units. What I asked —what I think it's incumbent on
you is to find the optimal use and that's taken into the factors in account of what
the density is and looking at the neighborhood. So it isn't the apartments we
oppose.
Mr. Wall: So how many people are part of the Civic League?
12
Mr. Murphy: We have about 300 members, but there's contained family members as well. So
it's more and then I've represent roughly 1400 of those are in Ocean Park. As I
said, Pelican Dunes and Aries on the Bay have separate home ownerships and
Baylake Pines is separate as well.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so this, this map represents Ocean Park.
Mr. Murphy: And Aries and Pelican Dunes, because they use the Shady Oaks Drive that comes
up to the Marlin Bay intersection. So that's their main point of egress and ingress.
Mr. Wall: Where is Pelican Dunes?
Mr. Murphy: It would be on the top left for you. And is the green one, so the top left there put
up.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so that's the Dunes up there.
Mr. Murphy: Yeah, that's way too. So it'll be at the end of Shady Oaks.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Murphy: But they use that same entrance where the light is.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you, sir.
Mr. Murphy: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Our next speaker is Cole Trower and is Teesh Frazier here, okay, following Mr.
Trower will be Cheryl McCluskey.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon, sir.
Mr. Trower: Good afternoon. It's a great day to be in the greatest city in Virginia in the entire
country of Virginia Beach. My name is Cole Trower, I am a homeowner. At the age
of 29, I bought my own home on the very street that he said that everybody is going
to drive to and go to the beach, 3970 Aires Way; I have 10 years in the restaurant
industry having experience as a waiter or bartender, even washing dishes. You
know, it's not a glorious job. But you've got a lot of restaurants and folks on Shore
Drive, that that's how they make their living. And I think a lot of my neighbors here;
I might have served them an Orange Crush or Crab Dip once or twice. I also have
10 years of experience working — not 10 years of experience working for the City
of Virginia Beach, one year of experience working for the City of Virginia Beach
13
briefly in economic development. And during my time for economic development,
I focused on business retention and acquisition. And the City of Virginia Beach tax
dollars, millions of dollars each year go towards business retention and acquisition.
That's what makes our City great. We have great businesses, and people enjoy
working here. One of the pillars of having economic development being so strong
and when you are pitching these companies for the city is we sell them on our
quality of life, and that we have places for their workers to live. And right now,
young people in this city cannot find a place to live. I just got a text five days ago.
Hey buddy, how's it going? I just moved back and I'm looking for a place near
Chicks on Shore Drive. Do you know anywhere? I don't know anywhere. No one
knows anywhere. We have all of these young people that go off to college. And
then we say why don't they return? It's because number one, they don't have a
place to live, that's affordable, that safe and nice. And I live and own a home, my
girlfriend owns a home on the same street. And I am a member of the Aries on the
Bay Civic League. And I was briefly the parliamentarian of the Ocean Park Civic
League for a month or two wasn't a great job, trust me. So I will tell you this, it is
not unanimous that this that are my neighbors don't want this development. You
know, I think sometimes we get caught up in details and details are important. But
I think sometimes we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here.
Our city is growing. And that's a good thing. We have people that want to live here
and work here. We must make a plan for those people to thrive in our city.
Because, you know, it is our future and that's the decisions made here today will
impact not only our residents, our businesses, and then also you know just
everything how we conduct our daily life. And I would just encourage
Commissioner Wiener's comments as I run out of time. I have been slandered,
attacked and just vilified on Facebook and Next Door by some people sitting
behind me that have just trashed anyone that would stand up just to say, Hey, I
think this might be a good idea. And I think if that wouldn't have happened, some
of my neighbors might be here today saying the same thing. I appreciate your time,
your public service. And I hope that we have a good lengthy debate today on the
issues and stay away from vitriolic attacks like we've seen on Facebook.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions? Thank you sir.
Madam Clerk: Cheryl McCleskey followed by John Pharr.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. McCleskey: Good afternoon Mr. Chairman, Vice Chairman and members of the Planning
Commission. For the record, my name is Cheryl McCleskey. Thank you for your
service to the community and helping make Virginia Beach a well planned
community. The McCleskey and the Browning families have owned property and
Ocean Park neighborhood for over 50 years. The McCleskey family has allowed
the public to benefit from the vacant open space during our ownership, including
14
the land that is now Pleasure House Point. My dream has been to fulfil my late
husband's vision by developing quality, reasonably priced multifamily residential
units that will allow new families to become part of this beautiful Bayfront
neighborhood. We have teamed up with the Terry Peterson Residential, a family
company with a stellar reputation and long term commitment to the community.
John Peterson and Tuck Bowie are known for building high quality multifamily
rental housing. We have also selected the well-respected Timmons Group to
provide excellent project engineering and Cox Cleaver to provide design quality.
Together we will create an engaging community of coastal living along Shore
Drive. During this planning phase of the project, we have listened to the concerns
of the neighbors and government officials and that is why we reduce the density
from 227 to 197. The current zoning allows us to develop a full scale commercial
and retail business without any further permission from the city government.
However, we think the highest and best use of our land, our company and our
community is to build multifamily housing. As you know, the housing stock in
Virginia Beach is down significantly from last year for both single and multifamily
housing. This development will provide reasonably priced apartment rental
properties that are needed for the citizens. The city's economic impact report
shows that this rezoning will have a $3.78 million net positive impact over 20 years
for the city, very rare for this kind of development project. The traffic impact study
demonstrates that there is a reduction in traffic from uses allowed under the current
zoning. The combined average daily trips for our current business zoning is
estimated to be 2074. However, if we build 197 multifamily units, the number of
average daily trips will be an estimated 1448, which is 30% less than the use is
allowed under the current zoning. We have also exceeded the requirements for
the number of parking spaces for residents to prevent parking on neighborhood
streets. Parking will be shielded from the street. The school's impact study shows
our project will have minimal amount on schools.
Mr. Weiner: Thanks you're your comments, any questions for Ms. McCleskey.
Ms. McCleskey: I just want to say based on all these comments along with Planning Staff
recommendations for approval on behalf of my company and our trustworthy
building partners we ask you to approve our application. Thank you so much.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. McCleskey: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: John Pharr followed by Andrina Fisher.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir.
15
Mr. Pharr: Good afternoon. All right. Thank you for giving me a couple of minutes to speak
today. My name is John Pharr, and my family lives at 2105 Woodlawn Avenue.
We've been there 11 years and can't imagine being anywhere else. The
appearance, character, and longtime residents are some of the many reasons why
we love Ocean Park. We value our privacy but welcome many to our Bayfront
community. It's an excellent flow that is currently manageable. Change is inevitable
in life. Many of us are asking for change that is reasonable and considerate of our
beloved Ocean Park. The current Marlin Bay proposal is too aggressive and too
dense for many residents. Multi story housing complex is the exact opposite of our
single family homes. I believe many of us are asking to be heard. And frankly,just
want to find somewhere to meet in the middle. Thanks for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any questions?Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Andrina Fisher followed by Mike Wills.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Fisher: My name is Andrina Fisher, my husband and I own the townhouse at 3836 Ocean
Tides Drive. When we purchased the townhouse a little over three years ago, we
thought that the lot behind our home would not remain empty forever. We thought
eventually the boat dealership would expand or perhaps some additional
townhouses or duplexes would be built. Never could we have imagined that
someone would have the idea to build a four story nearly 200 unit apartment
complex right in our backyard. If you look at the plat map, our townhouse is the
last end unit on the left side of Ocean Tides Drive. I've stated in my previous letters
to all of you that our home would arguably be one of the most negatively impacted,
should this project be allowed to move forward. The apartment complex could
potentially reach heights of 50 feet or more. The developer plans to build a street
directly behind our fence where no street currently exists, and trash facilities would
be built close by. They also plan to close the cross over to Ocean Tides Drive.
What does all of this mean for us and our neighbors? It means that we would no
longer enjoy any privacy in our backyard. It means the apartment building due to
its towering height will likely block most of the early to late afternoon sunlight that
we currently enjoy. It means constant traffic noise from apartment residents,
visitors and service vehicles entering and exiting the complex. It means light
pollution at night and noise pollution all hours of day and night. We can currently
access our street by turning left off of Marlin Bay Drive. But once the project is
complete, we'll have to drive up the road and make a U-turn to get to our house. I
don't consider that a small inconvenience. I also fear the value of our home will be
negatively impacted if this development is approved.We don't want to sell,we love
the charming character of the neighborhood. But the apartment complex would
destroy the character of Ocean Park. I assume that many of you live in single family
homes. And I'd ask each of you to imagine how you would appreciate a project of
16
this size being built right behind your backyard. I've noticed that those speaking in
favor of it don't live directly next to it like our home is. Can you honestly say that
this wouldn't negatively impact your quality of life or the value of your home? I'd
ask you if your role in the planning commission is primarily to further the interests
of developers or are you also here to protect the interests of the residents that
would be negatively impacted by a development of this size? I hope the latter is
also true.We aren't against appropriate development. But the proposed Marlin Bay
apartment complex does not fit in the existing footprint. Hundreds of residents have
reached out to you and asked you not to approve this project. Please listen to them
and to us and vote no, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?
Ms. Oliver: Do you mind using the pointer and pointing right where your house is placed?
Ms. Fisher: Okay, I haven't used one of these before.
Ms. Oliver: It doesn't work very well. I don't think.
Ms. Fisher: Which button? I've got it backwards. Oops, I must have forwarded, sorry. I don't
see a red button. Hang on. Okay, get the slide back and I found the red button. We
are right here. So the shadow from the 15 foot tree line that they spoke about is
ironically longer than the shadow from the building which could be 50 feet. So you
can imagine that the shadow actually that would be cast by this building on our
property is going to take all the sunlight.
Ms. Oliver: So explain to me just because I don't—why you have to make a U-turn?
Ms. Fisher: Because currently when you come from Marlin Bay along here, you can turn left in
the Ocean Tides Drive. There's a little median strip, median strip. But the plan is
to close off this median strip to create an access into the street that goes to the
apartment complex. At least it was at the first plan that I saw. So right now it's an
empty lot and I understand, you know, an empty lot won't remain empty forever.
But you see they're building — they're planting trees directly on our fence line.
Where currently there aren't any trees and there'll be 15 feet high. That's closing
this in my opinion. And then you have the residents here and the four stories which
I imagine they're gonna have to build up,you know, about seven to eight feet above
the current elevation and then build on top of that four stories. So we'll have people
that live here and here, looking directly into our backyards and into our windows.
Ms. Oliver: I would imagine that's why the trees are there.
Ms. Fisher: Trees are only 15 feet high. The building could be close to 50-55 feet high.
17
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Fisher: Any other questions?
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. Fisher: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Mike Wills, followed by Carley Swift.
Mr. Wills: Good afternoon Commissioner, Planning Commission members. My name is Mike
Wills and I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you today about this application.
I moved into Ocean Park back in 2000 and into a duplex condo. So I've been in
there over 20 years, love the neighborhood, but we have seen a lot of changes,
and it's getting more and more dense and nowadays, it's summer weekend, you
can barely drive your car down the road, you know, with cars parked on both sides
of it. So it's changed a lot. And, you know, and there are many reasons why, you
know, we're opposed to this. I'm personally opposed to it, you know, number one
you've heard is the density, I just don't feel that it's compatible with the existing
neighborhood, and not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan in the Shore
Drive Corridor District. And by all means, I'm not against growth and
redevelopment, I really feel like this property is prime for redevelopment, but it
needs to be done within the existing zoning rules of the property and does not
warrant the change. I owned a heating air conditioning electrical contracting
business does a lot of new construction. Like I said, I'm all for growth and smart
development. But it needs to be at the right and the right place, and not at the
detriment of the existing property owners that have lived there for a long time and
made Ocean Park their home under the current zoning regulations of this property
as well as their own. So it needs to be developed within the existing densities of
the surrounding community. And just to give you a couple of examples, you know,
talk is cheap, but I want to give you a couple examples of where I personally and
as well as the community put our money where our mouth is. Back in 2004, I was
lucky enough to find another property in Ocean Park, a duplex, basically a duplex
rental property that built in the 50s. And I decided to tear it down and build a single
family home. And that's where I reside today, you know, of course, I could have
put another duplex on it and made quite a bit of money. But I didn't think that was
the right thing to do. We didn't need more density in Ocean Park. Then as an
executive member of the Ocean Park Civic League, which I served on for many
years, back in 2006-2007, we sold the old Fire and Rescue building and property
that we owned in Ocean Park and again zoned R-5R we could have sold it you
know to a developer let him put in a duplex on it. But we decided to put a deed
restriction on it that could only be redeveloped as a single family residence. And
so thus, we took a much lower value for the property than we could have otherwise
received. So I asked you to please don't condone the smoke and mirrors, you
18
know, scheme to include property in this whole proposal that isn't even part of the
redevelopment and do not approve this application as proposed. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?
Mr. Inman: Yes. Can you tell me, didn't you mention that there are a lot of cars parking along
Marlin Bay Drive?
Mr. Wills: No, not necessary Marlin Bay, I live on the other side of Shore Drive but like along
Powhatan, where I come in and out of my section of neighborhood. There are cars
every weekend parked on both sides; you can barely get your one car down the
middle of the street. It's gotten really bad.
Mr. Bradley: Does that relate to this development?
Mr. Wills: Well, I just think,you know, with all these apartments, you're gonna have lots more
visitors to the area. Obviously the people that live there are going to have visitors
and they're just gonna, they're gonna be inviting people to come to the beach,
obviously and just to put a continuous strain on the parking that's available in
Ocean Park.
Mr. Inman: In what ways does the design or the proposal for this project not comply with the
Shore Drive Development Guidelines?
Mr. Wills: Well, it says it should be within the existing character of the surrounding
neighborhood, essentially and existing density which is far exceeds the existing
density. And it's not in character with the rest of the neighborhood. There are no
other apartment buildings in Ocean Park. It's all townhouses, duplex you know,
things of that nature, single family homes.
Mr. Inman: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you, sir.
Mr. Wills: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Carley Swift followed by Andrea Lindeman.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Swift: Good afternoon. Thank you for your time. Thank you for hearing our comments. I
would like to highlight a few points.
Mr. Weiner: State your name for the record.
19
Ms. Swift: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Carley Swift. I'm an Ocean Park resident and business owner for
31 years and oppose this project in its current plan. So I'd like to reiterate and
highlight a few points from Faith Christie's letter that you may have received on
September 1st, who, as you probably know, has been a previous worker for the
City Planning and also helped with the Shore Drive Corridor Plan and participated
in the BAC. We are not opposed to development for these properties. We would
like to see these properties developed with a project that complements the
surrounding residential areas. And as you have indicated in your previous report,
this area is identified as a suburban focus area in the Comprehensive Plan. A plan
that recommends low dense, low to medium residential density and development
of structures that are complimentary to surrounding uses.A proposed development
of a four and a half story building with 197 units contained within it is not low to
medium density, low to medium density is 12 to 18 units to the acre, which is
keeping of the existing densities in the area. The proposed height and bulk of the
building is not complimentary, or in keeping with the existing residential or
commercial uses in the area, and the height and size of the building will overwhelm
the existing residential uses.The proposed reduction of impervious areas indicated
in the report looks good on paper. But until the proposed improvements, including
stormwater management are made to this section of Shore Drive, there will be
increased problems with drainage and flooding. This section of Shore Drive, as I'm
sure you currently know, is currently under design review. And the project is
expected to begin possibly in 2024, maybe 26 or 27. The Shore Drive Corridor
Improvements Phase 3 were scheduled in 2019 and have not begun. So filling a
site to accomplish a seven foot elevation will cause adjacent properties to flood.
Thank you for your time, appreciate.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions? Thank you.
Ms. Swift: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Andrea Lindeman followed by Mark Faust.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Lindeman: Thank you. My name is Andrea Lindeman. And I live in Ocean Park. And I want
to be brief; I just want to make two points. Because you'll hear this the very same
points probably. It strikes me every time that I drive home down Shore Drive; I drive
by Marlin Bay Drive where Pleasure House Point comes all the way to Shore Drive.
And it strikes me the sheer length and mass of this proposed building. And then I
learned something from Mr. Dao's report, it gets worse. The buildings will in fact
be taller than four and four and a half stories. In order to construct the stormwater
detention system, the site will need to be filled in to an elevation of seven or eight
feet above sea level. And so the measuring of four or four and a half stories, will
20
start from that elevated level. This is again,just a demonstration of the massing of
the building,which goes against the Shore Drive design guidelines. The other thing
I would like to say so this building will dwarf its surroundings. And so what are
these surroundings? This location is not a blank slate; it's in the middle of Ocean
Park. And I feel like the staff report that we read kind of glosses over giving this
figure of 31.77 density. This is a huge increase over other recent projects. And so
I went back and I looked at some of the staff reports for two recent projects that
were okayed for Shore Drive. And they use the language of the Comprehensive
Plan,talking about infill development,that infill development should be at a density
that's compatible with the surrounding area. So at 3746, 3744 Shore Drive came
in at 14 units per acre, 3739 Shore Drive came in at 17.4 per acre. And the staff
reports use the language in the Comprehensive Plan about to justify the approval
saying that this had to be compatible with the surrounding area. So I just want to
say that we chose Ocean Park because it had atmosphere, history and personality.
And I think that this has value not only to the neighborhood, but it has value to
Virginia Beach City, to preserve this kind of neighborhood. It's blinking. So I hope
you will listen to the language of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you very much ma'am. Thank you for your comments, any questions?
Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Mark Faust, followed by Debbie Cohen.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon, sir.
Mr. Faust: Good afternoon. Thank you for your time ladies and gentlemen of the Planning
Commission. I'm Mark Faust. I've been a resident of Ocean Park for over 30 years
during this time has grown as a vibrant neighborhood with wonderful blend of
families and individuals. This proximity the natural area, the beach, local
businesses, as well as being in a great school district make it a very desirable
place to live. I'm strongly opposed to the proposal. I'm strongly opposed to the
Marlin Bay apartment development. I'm concerned with the sheer volume of people
in autos that will impact the neighborhood adversely. The traffic on Shore Drive at
the proposed area is already overwhelming, including recent fatalities of drivers
and pedestrians. Right on the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay, a pedestrian
was hit not long ago.As part of the Civic League that assists the Adopt-A-Spot that
cares for Pleasure House Point, I've seen the impact of the increased use has in
this fragile environment. Lots of trash, had fences and the disturbance of wildlife.
Along the street there on Pleasure House Point side, it's only parking till, you can't
park after dark. So everyone is supposed, if there's overflow of parking,they're not
allowed to be there after dark, it is all going to be on this side of the street maybe,
that's another concern. It's a wonderful place for people with families just starting
out and growing, retirees and pretty much everybody in between. In my opinion, a
high density project with almost 200 rental units will undoubtedly tip the balance of
21
the neighborhood in a negative and permanent way. And I urge you to say no to
this project. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Debbie Cohen, followed by Todd Goforth.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Cohen: My name is Debbie Cohen. And my husband and I live on Pendleton Avenue near
Marlin Bay and Shore Drive. I've never been at a meeting like this, so little nervous.
But I wanted to speak because I'm very concerned about what the proposed
development will do to my neighborhood. My husband and I moved here a few
years ago and we decided we wanted to live off a Shore Drive. We just fell in love
with the area. We're really happy living here. We'd love walking at Pleasure House
Point and in our neighborhood and going across Shore Drive to go to the Bay. It's
like perfect location. But urn, main thing, I mean, I support what the others have
said the Ocean Park Civic League and the other speakers have said in opposition
to the project. But my main concern is definitely like there's a lot of, there's a lot of
units proposed in this apartment complex. And seems like a very high density
compared to what I've seen in the surrounding areas. And also, recent
development I've seen on Pendleton Avenue and in my area has all been three
story townhomes and much, much lower density. I'm very concerned about having
so many additional units coming into that small property. The other thing is I'm
looking at the Bay Area Advisory Committee, which I think understands and
supports our special Shore Drive community, they voted in opposition to the
project. They indicated that there needs to be a reduction in the height considering
the two story townhouses adjacent on Ocean Tides Drive and also saying the
project is not congruent with the existing Shore Drive corridor guidelines and
Comprehensive Plan and therefore they recommended denial of the application.
So you know, as others has said, I'm not against development of the property. I
just hope that whatever development it will preserve and protect our community,
our neighborhood community. I appreciate your time and consideration. I know a
lot of people are talking and sending emails letters, and I appreciate that you
consider them all.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am. Any questions? Thank you.
Ms. Cohen: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Todd Goforth, followed by Todd Solomon.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
22
Mr. Goforth: Good afternoon. My name is Todd Goforth. I live at 3850 Ocean Tides Drive. My
wife and I own a townhome there.And this development would back up right to our
property line. Therefore, vehemently oppose the development. I've lived in the
neighborhood for over 15 years. And just to flush out what everybody's been
saying, there are so many people in our neighborhood that have been there for a
decade or longer. We're very tight knit community. Most people don't know we
don't have an HOA, Homeowners Association. We police ourselves and take care
of what we have. And if you look at the field that they're talking about, there's no
trash dumpster, no you know, broken down cars or anything. Our neighborhood
does a really good job of taking care of itself and policing itself. I live at the end of
Ocean Tides. That is by Pleasure House Point. And that takes me back to when
Pleasure House Point was under question from another developer Fineman. The
Sandlers came and made a great presentation, was an elegant speaker, great
presentation. But the big elephant in the room has always been density, density. I
don't care how great your presentation is, who you are, how much money you
have? Its density that is the problem. Now to put a personal thing out if you live in
our neighborhood long enough, you know about the young woman that died
crossing the intersection there, it's Shore Drive and Marlin Bay, you know about
people have been hurt. Now, as I look at this, the crosswalks, if people are gonna
go to the beach or going to go straight across, they don't typically go down to the
crosswalks. On a Saturday, traffic is tremendous on Shore Drive, people going to
the beach. And the other thing that Mark Faust brought up, he's my neighbor
across the street. If you look at Marlin Bay Drive, Pleasure House Point, what a
fantastic thing that the city did along with other people. During the day, you can
park on Marlin Bay Drive and access Pleasure House Point. But after dark, you
have to move your vehicles, there's not supposed to be anybody in Pleasure
House Point after dark. Therefore, it's an excellent opportunity if you live in those
apartments, you come home, you can't find a parking spot where you gonna go,
you know, the cars are leaving after dark especially in the winter, there will be cars
lined up and down there. I see it on the weekends, there's cars lined up and down
there already on the weekends, doing what we hoped they would do accessing
Pleasure House Point. And the last thing I want to say, the beach. We all live
around here. We love the beach. The density at the beach has got tremendous
because we had no sand replenishment. What's that have to do with? Well, you
have so many people where we can't watch kids anymore. It used to be there's
just one person you had an open view, now that you're so crowded, you can't see
the little kids anymore. And I would hate for that to be the straw that breaks the
camel's back when some kid, we can't find them, or they get injured because
there's so many people in that beach. And who knows when we're getting sand
replenishment with COVID going on. So that's all I have to say.
Mr. Weiner: Thanks you sir, any questions?

Ms. Oliver: Yes, sir, and I just want to ask a question, because you're the second gentleman
to mention the parking along Marlin Bay Drive in the dark and stuff, I'm trying to
figure out what that has to do with the actual apartment complex because they
have their own parking garage. So these people that live in the apartment building
are obviously going to utilize the garage. So I'm just trying to, I'm trying to figure
out.
Mr. Goforth: You are correct. In a perfect world, they have planned to the hilt. And anybody that
comes to visit or lives there has his parking spot in the garage or that I'm just saying
typically weekends everybody that you know when you move to the beach wants
to come visit you, holidays, wants to come visit you. All of a sudden you got friends
that you never knew you had and if you don't have a place to park and you see all
this open spot, you know you're naturally going to park there.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Goforth: So that's my comment and it already happens now for people that come in our
neighborhood can't find a spot park on there after dark.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Todd Solomon, followed by Windy Crutchfield.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Solomon: Good afternoon. My name is Todd. Hope you don't mind, I'm gonna keep my mask
on. I was with 68,000 crazy Hokie fans this past weekend, so for your benefit, right,
I don't want to get you if I am, so I'm not gonna pass it on. My name is Todd
Solomon. I live off of Shore Drive. I'm representing the Shore Drive Community
Coalition. I'm here to ask for your opposition of this project. At our May 24th
meeting, the Shore Drive Community Coalition voted to oppose this development
as it stands, again not opposed to development per se, but the density of this
development. I've been up here many, many times talking about density on Shore
Drive. So this isn't something new that you're going to be hearing about. However,
some of the items are specific of the reasons behind the decision points of this one
that are different than others. You did hear Ocean Park Civic League did vote to
oppose this. The Bayfront Advisory Commission also voted to oppose this
development. In the ULI study, which was 1997 study that kicked off all the Shore
Drive Corridor plans, which you all know about, it does state specifically in there
that the communities of Ocean Park and Chicks Beach, where zoning allows a
transition from single family to duplex or higher density units, attention should be
paid to the results of this intensification. The density of new developments in this
area should not overwhelm these two communities, which have made fine homes
and neighborhoods for their residents. Again, density, overwhelming, these
24
questions, these words, are used throughout. Staff has shown you on the
properties all adjacent to this. If you've noticed they all were B-2s at one time
rezoned, removal of commercial property to add higher density developments. All
the B-2s along Shore Drive are going away. I understand it's mentioned in here
about over commercial, don't over commercialize Shore Drive, I don't think they
really meant remove all commercial property and make it all residential. I may have
missed that in that discussion. Again per staff, the Comprehensive Plan
recommends and you heard it before, future residential uses should strive to
achieve the lowest reasonable density to be compatible with existing residential
densities. There's no way that this is compatible with the adjacent densities. The
largest density right across the street north of Shore Drive, A-18. And the last one
I found most interesting, the City Code states for apartment zoning, that it is not
the intention to create additional A-24 or A-36 districts. This is an A-24, actually is
31 and a half,something like that. But anyways, if you follow your apartment district
code, you shouldn't go above A-18, which is similar to the zoning across the street.
So worst case, knock it down to A-18, reduce the densities, sounds like everybody
else would be happy with that, reduce the size. If you want to see a structure that's
going to be very similar to this, Pine Well Station up on East Ocean View. Look at
that, that's 145 units. Massiveness of that does not fit that neighborhood.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, any questions? Okay. Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Windy Crutchfield, followed by Amanda Logsdon.
Ms. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Crutchfield: Thank you. My name is Windy Crutchfield. And I wanted to say thank you for the
opportunity to share my observations and raise my concerns for this project. I have
owned a townhouse adjacent to the property since 1992. It's on Ocean Tides Drive.
And I wanted to refer to the Comprehensive Plan in my remarks, it's specified in
the plans that the council should or the city should advance the interests of the
larger community rather than simply responding to the needs of individual property
owners. And you can see that the neighborhood has been very unified in their
objection to the current proposal. Being that I've had the house across the—town
house across the street since 92. I do know that there is a dog park that's there.
It's been used by the Mariners Landing neighborhood, it's maintained as a previous
speaker was saying, we are very good about maintaining our properties around
here. We take care of it, mow it, trim the trees, supply dog waste bags and take
the trash to the street weekly. Neighbors used it to bring their dogs out for a stretch
when they get home from work. And also neighbors use this path as a crosswalk
to or path to the beach. So they actually can see where they would go right through
the paper street of Ocean Tides to Shore Drive and then use the crosswalk. So by
eliminating that, you are actually taking a public use and changing it to strictly
private use. The Comprehensive Plan says that the city should preserve or further
25
enhance the existing residential areas and amenities and Marlin Bay apartments
does exactly the opposite. Being a witness to several storm events, there is
actually no flooding or drainage issues there. The developer continued to say that
the area is 100% impervious. But that is not true and I submitted pictures that show
how much green space is there and there's never been a flooding problem there.
Also that the development will more than double the density of any parcel in Ocean
Park, we've got the expansion of Windsong Apartments, Westminster Canterbury,
Point Overture isn't at full capacity yet. So we have all of that to add to the problems
with traffic on Shore Drive. So I just wanted to wrap it up by saying it's, this is a
stark contrast with the City of Virginia Beach's Comprehensive Plan, and the City's
goal should be to protect the vitality of this area.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments, any questions?Thank you.
Ms. Crutchfield: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Amanda Logsdon, followed by Matt Thompson.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Logsdon: Thank you. As an Ocean Park resident and former real estate developer.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, can you state your name for the record, please?
Ms. Logsdon: I will. For the record, my name is Amanda Logsdon. As an Ocean Part resident
and a former real estate developer, I think I can offer a unique perspective to the
Planning Commission. And I appreciate your time this afternoon. I was born and
raised in Virginia Beach and grew up as a devoted resident in service to the
community. After graduating from high school and university over 20 years ago, I
moved to Northern Virginia to pursue a career in commercial real estate as both a
construction and development manager. I have built over 2.5 million square feet of
mixed use real estate, studied planning and place making with the Urban Land
Institute,and most recently developed and operated a luxury apartment and mixed
use building in Arlington, Virginia with 591 apartment units that both complements
and supports the surrounding neighborhood. Last year, I moved to Virginia Beach
and currently work as a general contractor in the federal space, both at Norfolk
Naval and at Little Creek. In April of this year, I purchased a single family home at
the corner of Powhatan Avenue and West Stratford; thereby both working and
living along the Shore Drive corridor. I believe in smart,strategic, sustainable urban
growth. But as currently designed, I cannot support the Marlin Bay development
for the following three reasons, parking, egress and storm infrastructure. Parking,
currently planned density and parking ratio are not sufficient to support the future
apartment residents and their guests. The Three Ships development across the
street at a much lower density cannot support the current residents and already
26
overflow onto West Stratford and the surrounding streets. Coupled with public
visitors and to the Bay and the Brock Center, the neighborhoods on both sides of
Shore Drive will not be able to withstand the added cars from Marlin Bay. This will
create more pedestrian safety issues within the neighborhoods and across an
already dangerous Shore Drive much like the issues at Marina Shores and Great
Neck Road. Egress,the proposed Ocean Tides Drive as egress for the apartments
in addition to the Marlin Bay Drive. This intersection is already dangerous and
without a streetlight and crosswalks will add to the congestion and danger at Shore
Drive. Egress should be limited to entering only at Marlin Bay Drive, or a streetlight
should be added. My home for storm infrastructure is one of the original houses to
Ocean Park and sits at the lowest elevation in relation to the new development at
West Stratford. I think that stormwater tension vaults at Marlin Bay should be
increased to support the community's need. In summary, I think that the proposed
density is not commensurate with the real residential area, at this portion of Shore
Drive. And while I don't oppose multifamily mixed use development, I would ask
that the Planning Commission and the stakeholders continue to work with the
neighborhoods on these concerns to create a successful project.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Matt Thompson.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Thompson: Good afternoon. Thank you for your time. As for the record, I'm Matt Thompson.
I raised my family in Ocean Park with my two daughters and one is a Hokie and
one is a Duke now. I can just tell you since 2014, when I moved to Ocean Park, it
doesn't resemble the same neighborhood. It's disheartening to see the number
one the traffic that resembles more like Northern Virginia than Virginia Beach. And
that's not an inconvenience to me. I can choose where I live. But it's dangerous.
And you have seen as one of my neighbors pointed out very acutely, there's been
an uptick in accidents. And it's become very dangerous. In addition to that, the
development of these massive structures, and I would point to, and I'm not sure
the name of it, the one east of the Lesner Bridge, which, after the Lesner was
rebuilt, and put in there has blocked, it takes away from the aesthetic beauty of the
area. So it's a situation where we're trying to get our cake and eat it too. And so, I
also oppose this not because I oppose this property being developed, but because
I oppose it based on the way it is written and being presented. One, it does not
meet the definition of rezoning on a conditional permit. Nowhere in this proposal,
can I see any criteria that meets mixed use, and as my neighbors have pointed
out,the density. The density is a massive issue, and so to your question Ms. Oliver
about the Marlin Bay Drive,when everybody brings their friends over for Floatopia,
that's where they're going to park. And that's a problem for our neighborhood. So,
with that being said, we are certainly open, we understand that this is valuable
27
property, but we would like done in a responsible manner. So thank you for your
time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you, sir.
Madam Clerk: Are Scott or Gaynelle Ayres here, or Phil Rous?
Mr. Weiner: Please come up, sir. Please. And what was your name? I am sorry.
Mr. Ayres: My name is Scott Ayres. Yeah, I got an email reply. Good afternoon. My name is
Scott Ayres, and I've lived in Ocean Park for 35 years. First of all, I would like to
thank you for your service. Having volunteered to serve on the Bayfront Advisory
Commission for over 20 years, I understand the commitment you make to promote
the city's growth to benefit the residents and our future generations. A number of
years ago with the assistance of the Planning Department and the City Attorney's
Office and assisted, we assisted City Council in formulating a plan for the future
development of Shore Drive, as was one of the key recommendations of the City
funded ULI study. The Shore Drive Corridor Plan and its designed guidelines were
approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. The BAC was also
assisted with this process by their liaisons from the Planning Commission and City
Council. With their assistance, the plan and the guidelines were approved and
made part of the City Comprehensive Plan. With the plan that BAC and the
Planning Department now had a mechanism to guide the City's vision for the Shore
Drive Corridor and enforceable code to follow, not one to be bent to fit the
applicant's needs. Following the design guidelines meant consistent application of
the principles for growth within the most densely populated corridor in the city. It is
my opinion that the application you're acting on today is in noncompliance with the
in place ordinances that were designed to govern growth within the Shore Drive
Corridor, and specifically Ocean Park. With the exception of plan review by BAC,
there has been no attempt by the applicant to sit down with the Ocean Park
community and in good faith discuss what kind of project might benefit the
community and the applicant. The applicant's answer to density has been if we
don't get this many units to the project, it's not economically feasible. I asked the
question whose problem is that? Certainly not the residents of Ocean Park. Ocean
Park is not anti-growth or anti-development. The fact is the community looks
forward to the development of the property but not as presented today by the
applicant. Another fact is that directly across the street from the applicant's
property sits a mixed use property. It's the only mixed use property in Ocean Park
built and approved under the current guidelines. At first, it did not have the
community support. But with the input from the community, Planning staff and the
developer the design guidelines were followed. And the community supported the
project. The developer followed the Shore Drive guidelines for mixed use. Why
shouldn't today's applicant do the same? In my opinion, today's application under
the mixed use guideline is a ruse. Virginia Beach, although a very young city...
28
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments, any questions?Thank you, sir.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Chair, I believe that's the last of the in person speakers. We have two WebEx
speakers remaining. Is there,what's your name?Oh, come on up. Sorry. I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Mr. Weiner: It's fine, no problem. Welcome, ma'am.
Ms. Ayres: Good afternoon. My name is Gaynelle Ayres. I've lived at 3780 Jefferson
Boulevard. As my parents did, as my grandparents did, so we've been there for
almost 100 years. Ocean Park in the 50s didn't have running water.We didn't have
city water. We did get, we had dirt streets, but no public services, fast forward to
2021. We now have city water, but an antiquated sewer and storm sewer system,
along with narrow streets, that during an emergency, fire trucks, ambulances have
a very difficult time getting by and that's on both sides of Shore Drive, not just on
the Bay side. The Bayfront Advisory Committee did a study in 2011 and found that
that corridor, Shore Drive Corridor had the highest residential real estate tax
assessment per acre in the city. Interestingly, the least public school students per
acre that's a big revenue winner for the city. Ocean Park plated in 1912 is one of
Virginia Beach's, historic neighborhoods, and one the city should be very proud of.
Ocean Park deserves better than the proposed Marlin Bay. On August 3rd 2021,
City Public Works issued an update on Phase Four of the Shore Drive
Improvement Project. The update states that the existing Ocean Park stormwater
system is inadequate. You can ask the project manager Bill Purcell, who says
Ocean Park needs major stormwater upgrades. The report states Phase Four will
start and maybe start in 2026 and be completed by 2029. Phase Three time
schedule, if Phase Three time schedule is any measure of accuracy, Ocean Park
will be lucky to see the completed improvements this decade. Without completion
of Phase Four, Ocean Park could be devastated by a storm like Ida that we just
had. I remember being carried out on an army dock during the Ash Wednesday
storm when our house fell in the water. I don't wish this on my family or anyone
else's. Marlin Bay would nearly double the number of Ocean Park residents on the
south side of Shore Drive and put unbearable strain on the existing Ocean Park
infrastructure. And that could easily accelerate the failure during a major storm.
This is something we all have to address. Consideration of the project at best
should be deferred until the project until Phase Four is complete and environmental
study is done.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, thank you for your comments. Appreciate it. Thank you. Any questions?
Ms. Klein: No, but I love your glasses. They look good.
Ms. Ayres: Oh thank you.
29
Madam Clerk: Is Phil Rous here, R-O-U-S? Okay Terry Browning.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Mr. Browning: Good afternoon. My name is Terry Browning. I am the owner of 3829 Shore Drive
along with my two brothers. My parents purchased this property nearly 50 years
ago to run our family boat business. We've been in business since 1955 and 20
years into business, we moved to Virginia Beach, we saw the opportunity for
growth. Our customer base was here in Virginia Beach, and we could expand our
business. We've been operating in Shore Drive. We bought this property as it was
look like a viable financial move for my family; we were able to afford this property
by selling boats and being in the boat business. We've owned this property; we
tragically lost my parents in 1999 in a plane crash. My brothers and I have had to
run this business since then. And we found it very difficult now in going forward to
support three families out of the boat business. My father and mother bought this
property knowing that was going to be our future going forward. And we have lived
through all the zoning changes and changes in the City of Virginia Beach.We have
owned a beach cottage on Surry Road since 1951. Our family has spent summers
in Ocean Park. And as you can imagine, Ocean Park looks quite a bit different now
than it did in 1951. But as with everything, we know that things change, laws
change, and we move forward, us as property owners tried to deal with these
changes and conform to what's asked of us to develop our properties. We're at a
point in our property now that we need to move forward and go from where we are
now and develop this and try to pick out something on this property that we felt
was good for our family and our future, our children, our grandchildren, and was
good for the Ocean Park community. We have many choices of many things, we
could do on our property. My property is zoned B-2. And I can do quite a few things
on that. And soul searching and doing research on this, we felt like this was the
best solution we could to go forward to be financially viable for us. I'm just a land
leaser in this deal. I'm not the builder. But this is going to take care of my family in
future years. And I know people are opposed to change, but change happens.And
I want to thank you for consideration of this. And I feel like we need to move this
project forward. I think this is the best we can do with this property. And with the
rules they change now and the infrastructure needed, it does take this to build to
be viable, financially viable.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir, any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Chairman, I believe that was our last in person speaker. We have two WebEx
speakers remaining, Kim Mayo, followed by Martin Thomas, Ms. Mayo, if you
would please wait two to three seconds and then state your name and begin your
comments, please.
30
Ms. Mayo: I'm Kim Mayo, and I oppose this. I'm not personally against all development or
change. I've lived many places including our Shore Drive Corridor for over 25
years. But I am against over development and its unintended consequences.
Some on our Planning Commission unfortunately have a reputation for favoring
big developer interests over citizens, especially in our neighborhood. Let's let
McCleskey build under by right zoning. It would have far fewer negative
consequences on our community. Those negative impacts include burdens on
police given the current staffing shortages, increased pollution, noise,
infrastructure challenges more traffic and impacts on our quality of life. Per my
expertise as a conservationist, often the cost of development outweigh the tax
benefits and I'm talking about actual dollar costs here, not just hidden costs. After
Windsong and Tower of Westminster people are fed up. Residents having their
sunlight blocked and rights infringed upon. My dear friend, a retired local college
professor had a multi-story condo built right next to her property. Her charming
cottage was literally engulfed by it. After 40 years of living there live oaks were
ripped down, birds she loved so much disappeared. We can hardly turn our car
around in her driveway anymore.And I truly believe the stress from this contributed
to her stroke. That's what's happening. Her story needs to be heard. Who is
protecting the rights of existing property owners.Specific to Marlin Bay apartments,
I agree with civic leaders of Ocean Park and many surrounding communities and
this is not in keeping with our master plan regarding density for Pleasure House
Point or the Shore Drive overlay. Four and a half story buildings and 197 units is
not low to medium density which is 12 to 18 units per acre and in keeping with the
surrounding area. The proposed height and giant building size is not
complimentary or in keeping with residential or commercial uses in the area. The
height and size will overwhelm existing residential uses. Expert testimony from one
of your own former planning council members as we heard shows the property
across the street first came in as a four story building. The developer was asked
to redesign the project to be consistent with the surrounding area, Staff cannot
support the proposal. Why then should McCleskey get special treatment?
Regarding Pleasure House Point, how would this high density development in a
flood zone be complimentary? Our tax dollars have made a huge investment
protecting this open space gem. The master plan reads quote "ensure that any
development is complimentary with regard to both design and land use to our
natural resource and open space amenity Pleasure House Point." It clearly is not.
Based on my expertise on open space the idea of building high density
developments is not in keeping with the surrounding area that about conservation
land without proper environmental impact studies is not a best practice. Many who
use Pleasure House Point have dogs and more fences with strain and further
pollute our Lynnhaven River. I like seeing stars and not bright lights. Many other
cities require the mitigation of light pollution on new development.
Madam Clerk: Our final speaker today is Martin Thomas. Mr. Thomas, if you would wait two to
three seconds and then please state your name and begin your comments.
31
Mr. Thomas: Hello. My name is Martin Thomas. Thank you for the opportunity to be here, and I
appreciate all your service. I know what its like to serve on a public body. I know
the challenges, often thankless; I've been a resident of Ocean Park for 60 years.
live on Roanoke Avenue. I'm not going to go over. I'm an attorney. And luckily
everybody else has already said most of what I wanted to say so you don't get
bored by another attorney. But I would like to comment on a couple of the aspects.
As Mr. Solomon pointed out, you know,the Bayfront Area is unique in and of itself.
But the ULI study singled out Ocean Park is being a different character than the
rest of the Bayfront community.And it recommended that we not engulf it by having
multi use, I mean multifamily projects that are incongruent with the duplexes and
single family homes that primarily occupy Ocean Park. One of the members of the
Commission mentioned that there was a lot of abandoned retail in the area. That
doesn't exist on the west side of Lesner Bridge, which is Ocean Park. There are
no abandoned retail places along there. And quite frankly, I'm not opposed to
development. And I've wanted that lot developed for a long time. But I like to see
real mixed use development. I'm not opposed to apartments either. But this is not
a real mixed use development. This is tacking on a boat existing business to call it
mixed use. It's not adding any retail. Why not have a mixed use on this lot, have
some retail with some other parcels above it. One of the reasons that it's been
difficult to develop retail along Shore Drive is because the commercial lots are so
shallow. This is a deep lot that would allow for a lot of different uses in commercial
vein, including mixed use. And I appreciate the opportunity to talk. I don't want to
go over what everybody else has said although I agree with most of what they said.
I just urge you to consider the ULI study and consider the impact on this
neighborhood which is a very unique neighborhood. Thank you very much.
Madam Clerk: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: No more speakers. All right. Ms. Murphy.
Ms. Murphy: Good afternoon. Thank you all for your patience. I'll be very brief. I just wanted to
address a few issues. Specifically, the B-4 SD District which is the one that we
have proposed the conditional rezoning to specifically allows for density of 36 units
per acre.What we've proposed is just over 31 units per acre. I know speakers have
spoken about the apartment districts and infill in the apartment districts. This B-4
SD District is unique to Shore Drive and it was part of the Shore Drive Overlay and
it provides for a mix of uses. I know a lot of folks when they think mix of uses they
think Town Center and that's vertical. The Shore Drive mix of uses is really meant
to be horizontal. If you look at again The Pearl,you've got the Surf Rider and you've
got the apartments. It's not all in the same - in the same building. So this is
conceptually very different than the Town Center type area.With regard to parking,
there are 390 parking spaces, 358 are multifamily, 32 are for the 12,000 square
foot buildings. The applicant could have because this is mixed use asked for a
32
shared parking arrangement. Obviously, the commercial use times especially with
the boat sales is going to be different from the residential. So there will more likely
than not be an excess of residential spaces because the residents are parking
when the businesses are not necessarily open. What I've heard a lot about is
parking on Marlin Bay Drive. If you look at the city's website, Pleasure House Point
is 118 acres of city open space. It's part of the Parks and Recreation Department.
And it's public for the whole city. The website says the parking is on Marlin Bay
Drive because frankly, there is no other way to get into Pleasure House Point.
Beaches on Shore Drive, which, you know, I live in the city, I frequent them just as
much as anybody else. They are public beaches, and you know, where you have
public beaches, it sounds like you're going to have parking issues. My family was
in town last weekend; we left for the beach at 12:30. I told them that was too late
and we couldn't find a parking space. So we went back home and went to the pool.
You know, those challenges it sounds like are challenges that have to do with the
public spaces, more so than what we're proposing. Obviously, this is going to be
self parked; we're going to have more than enough parking on-site for the both of
the uses. A lot of has been made of the character of the neighborhood, the fact
that this is, you know, a residential neighborhood. This specific area because it's
right along Shore Drive is in what the city staff report called the mixed zone. And
the staff report finds that the density and use is appropriate in the mixed zone as
a transition. So where you have a highly travelled, you know, major arterial
roadway, you're going to want some sort of a transition back to the residential, the
more single family residential uses. This type of use is a transitional use that would
be appropriate. There was an Ocean Tides Drive and I think Ric Lowman came up
for this as well. The part that we're closing is, is here, it's not used by anybody for
vehicular access other than the boat facilities, I think she had a concern that this—
somehow this was being closed. This is not being closed at all. It's just within the
parcel itself. And as the viewers who are required to go out and look at the request
for a street closure have indicated there are other ways to get across more
specifically the signalized intersection where folks can walk across and nobody
can actually use a car now, other than the folks entering the Browning and
Lynnhaven Marine facilities. What they were looking at, I think, was people who
might be walking to get across Shore Drive. But again, they found there wouldn't
be a public inconvenience because you've got the signalized intersection to get
folks across. The purpose of the landscaping, which is a Category Four landscape
buffer, it will be 15-feet wide, the trees will grow up to 30 feet; you've got bushes
that are grow up to five feet. The intention of that is to provide that buffer and really
they'll just because of the view shed and the line of sight they'll screen a lot of the
duplexes that back up there. There were comments made about height, I'm not
sure where they came from. The staff report indicates that the section facing the
intersection is three stories, which was a major reduction in height and in density
from what was originally proposed. But the four and a half stories where that comes
from is the parking garage. So, stories in a parking garage don't have the same
height as stories in a residential building. So, the four stories in those wings of the
33
building will actually shield the parking garage. So, we're talking four and a half
stories that's really kind of a misnomer. As far as maintenance as was mentioned,
the Terry Peterson Companies and the McCleskey and Browning families are long
term owners. They're not going to be selling this project. They will maintain it the
way they've maintained all of their projects and properties in the city. And in some
cases as was mentioned, they don't have a mandatory civic league or a property
owners association. The maintenance of this facility will be top notch. I mean you
can't say that for every area of the city where you don't have a commercial entity
doing the maintenance. Proffer number four, there was a mention of lighting,
proffer number four details that lighting on the property will be limited to that which
is necessary for security and safety purposes, and it will comply with applicable
law. So it'll be shielded to prevent glare and spill over onto other properties. This
really is as we've heard, and as the staff report indicates the highest and best use
for this property, it will be a tremendous upgrade, and really provide a gateway
feature into Shore Drive and into the city itself. I'm happy to answer any questions.
I think Ric Lowman can address traffic, but I think the traffic study and the
professional review of that have indicated that there will not be a negative impact
on traffic in the corridor and at the intersections.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions to Ms. Murphy?
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Murphy, I just want to clarify because you touched —when you first started on
Marlin Bay, there's a new median break for the entrance to the parking garage.
Further down on Ocean Tide, there is a median break. You're not closing that.
Ms. Murphy: No, we're not doing anything with that section of Ocean Tides at all.
Ms. Oliver: Just wanted to be very clear on that. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Jack?
Mr. Wall: So where are the dumpsters going to be located?
Ms. Murphy: The dumpsters will actually be at the rear, John do you want to address?
Mr. Peterson: They're proposed in this area.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Yeah. Simple enough, I mean, that's my, the follow up. I mean, your
dumpsters when they, when they slam those things down. you can hear it a half a
mile away.
Mr. Weiner: While you're up here real quick. Nobody's really touched base on what's going on
in Shore Drive part of the apartments to Shore Drive, the sidewalk and everything,
what's happening up there?
34
Mr. Peterson: You are asking me?
Mr. Weiner: Yeah, sorry.
Mr. Peterson: The first of all as you know, that area is drained by ditches. And so we're going to
—we would be proposing to do curb and gutter. And then there would be a verge
from that curb to the proposed 10 foot wide multi use path, which is again called
for all the way the whole length of Shore Drive. And then there would be an
additional setback to what would be the entrances out of the first floor apartments,
so bit of a unique feature to try to create a more residential feel on the street,where
there would be stoops that would actually exit out of the apartments down onto
that multi use path. And then there's an additional main entrance way right where
the pointer is, which is kind of another entrance into the entire building. And then,
of course, landscaping and trees and everything that don't exist today.
Mr. Weiner: Yes sir.
Mr. Inman: And where are the other entrances to the building besides the one you just pointed
to off of Shore Drive?
Mr. Peterson: This is the main entrance right here. You come in here and there'll be a leasing
office. And that's a direct line through to the community center, recreation center.
You also have, you have garage entrances, here and here. So access to the
interior of the building will be secure.
Mr. Inman: And on the buffer that's between the lower wing of the building and the houses that
backup to that, would you describe what that buffering is going to consist of?
Mr. Peterson: As I mentioned before, I don't have specific species, our goal is, of course, to have
them be as tall as they can be for screening purposes,just to clarify, the 15 feet is
the width of that easement. I mean, I'm sorry, the setback and so it's a 15-foot
width and then we would plant as taller trees as was practical in that 15 foot width.
Mr. Inman: Yeah, the proffer looks like it's or the condition we have in here, trees have been
permitted to grow and maintain the minimum height of 20 feet and a shrubs height
of 5 feet.
Mr. Wall: About to tack on to that, the impacts to the residents sunlight, can you?
Mr. Peterson: So this is south, instead the sun essentially goes like this. And these shadows are
a bit of an improperly placed. This would be, I am not sure when these would
actually, the shadows would actually go this way.
35
Mr. Wall: So the sun's not going to, it wouldn't impact any kind of height of trees or anything
wouldn't impact the backyards in terms of sunlight hitting there, if somebody wants
to grow something back there, their tomato, you know, something, would you say
that this is not impactful to anything that they currently have in terms of sunlight
hitting right that?
Mr. Peterson: The intent is that,you know, again, shadows go this way.We haven't studied every
possible sun angle, but the general idea is that the sun is in the south and shines.
Mr. Wall: Right,any impact would probably be in the after late afternoon, if there is an impact.
Okay. Building of the site 79 feet, up to elevation 79, which is the site in general or
at least, but the storm, so you have to put the stormwater management under?
Where's the stormwater draining?What's the general direction of,where it's gonna
go once it leaves the site?
Mr. Peterson: The outfall is this direction. It's an existing outfall that goes into the,there's actually
a BMP inside of Pleasure House Point. And then it discharges into the, into the
creek from there.
Mr. Wall: So where would the stormwater management facilities? I know they're
underground? But I mean, where are they going to be placed?
Mr. Peterson: They are all throughout, all the areas that you see.
Mr. Wall: So under the green space, under the parking lot.
Mr. Peterson: Yes.
Mr. Wall: So they are going to be down there. So to install those the sites may even have to
be even more so to get, I don't know how tall they're going to one foot, two foot,
three foot and you have cover over those. They're in the grounds of sandy soil, so
some of that may infiltrate, what I'm getting at is the finished floor elevation, it may
be higher than what, 7 to 9, do you know the finished floor elevation at this time?
Mr. Peterson: I don't have a specific finished floor elevation, but I don't think it's, I mean, we're
certainly not going to build it up any higher than we have to, I mean, it's going to
be what's required in order to meet the code.
Mr. Wall: Right to drain the site,which and then may bring it up a little bit just for architectural
look of the site, okay. Okay.
Ms. Murphy: The volume will be brought underground. I mean, currently the water is going north
to Shore Drive where there's a drainage and Marlin Bay Drive to the south. And
there's no stormwater management at all on the property.
36
Mr. Wall: Right. And it was mentioned, I think somebody said it was, you know, the whole
site and probably but not really, I think what's already PD-H1, I think that's not
impervious. So, what currently is the Browning property of course is...
Mr. Peterson: By the definition of the city stormwater regulations, it is impervious.
Mr. Wall: Gravel is impervious for water quality. Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? No questions? All right, thank you very much. We will close
this out and look at Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: This is your neck of the woods.
Mr. Redmond: It is my neck of the woods. I rode my bike up Shore Drive when I was...
Ms. Eisenberg: Would you like to care to make...
Mr. Redmond:Oh,yes,Thank you for the reminder. I have a disclosure to make.There is a broker
in my office; I work in real estate broker, as a real estate broker. There is a broker
in my office who does some work for McCleskey and Associates, has a listing that
sell some land for them. I do not — I don't participate in any way and that haven't
received any remuneration ever from McCleskey or from Terry Peterson or from
Mr. Browning or anybody else don't now, so it doesn't affect me in any way. And
conflict of interest laws, of course, define me as just as you all would or any other,
you know, broker in the real estate business.So, but I wanted to be sure to disclose
that and I will be voting and commenting on the application, thank you Tori.
Mr. Inman: I have a disclosure to make also,as an attorney I have represented before,another
project Terry Peterson, I'm not representing him currently and we don't — I don't
have any financial interest in the project, in this project and or any other project
they've done so I feel free to vote.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: I was riding my bike up Shore Drive when I was about 14 years old, wasn't old
enough to drive that would have been 79, 1979. So I'm well familiar with this
corridor. And I want to be clear that we're talking about the entire Shore Drive
corridor, and the Shore Drive plan and the Shore Drive overlay, and the Shore
Drive, all of these things that I think we have to view in the broader Shore Drive
context, and not merely in terms of Ocean Park. For the life of me, I don't
understand how this is going to negatively impact Ocean Park. But I still think we
37
have to recognize that there's more than just this, you know, then just this one little
pocket at the corner of Marlin Bay, and Shore Drive, there are a number of things
about this application that I think are very attractive, you can stare at that slide and
see there's a heck of a lot more green on it than exists today. There's more turf,
there's more shrubs, there's more trees, there's stormwater that's going to be
installed that doesn't exist today. At the same time, it reduces the impervious cover
on site. So it's certainly a much greener application, the infrastructure is clearly an
improvement.We don't have any infrastructure in terms of stormwater there today.
The architecture, I think, is extremely attractive. I have driven the site in the context
of this application five times specifically, including again, yesterday afternoon, and,
you know, tried to make myself get lost is very hard, because I'm very familiar with
this place, but just sort of noodled around back in the neighborhoods and then
turned around and went all the way up to Great Neck Road and came back and
just looked at the entire corridor. From this site, I can throw a rock and hit Bay
Vista, Chesapeake House, 3556 on the Bay. If I go west, I'm going to run into the
shopping center that has the Kroger in it and the four-story Victoria Place and then
another small shopping center. On either side of this site are multi story buildings.
All throughout the Shore Drive corridor are multi story buildings.Within Ocean Park
itself, single family and duplex residences that are three stories themselves. And
what's proposed for that corner is three stories. I don't understand. That reminds
me of an old joke, How many Virginians does it take to change a light bulb?Three,
takes three, takes one to change the bulb and two to admire the old one. And I just
don't know what it is we're admiring about this site that would cause us to see that
as a negative impact over the broken down storage yard,the building that's got the
water stains on it, you know, it's got some of the material peeling off it that I saw
yesterday.The streets that are to be closed, aren't streets,they are two dead ends.
Somebody said they use it as a dog park. Alright, well, they're not streets, there's
no reason to keep open streets that serve no useful public purpose for which we
should maintain. And in fact, any redevelopment of that site, those two dead ends
are going to be closed, you put a warehouse there, and they're going to need to
close those streets. So in any event, you know, if I thought this would in some way
damage the Shore Drive corridor, I would be a first guy saying, forget it. And in
fact, that's the first thing I said to the applicant, when I first met with them seems
like a million years ago that we've been talking about this is. You know, this has to
be very high end. And from what I see from the elevations, from the landscape
plan, from the infrastructure that's added and frankly, the appropriateness of the
building height in the context of this broader character, that's what I'm talking
about. I just don't see how this is anything, but a positive addition to the Shore
Drive Corridor. And something I think in the end will be proud of. So I'm certainly
going to support the application. I'll be happy to make a motion at the time. And
then I'll just sit back and let y'all do your thing too. Thank you everyone who came
here today. I had a lot of conversations with an awful lot of folks for many, many,
many months.And as I said, I've been over there a million times now but I've known
38
it very frankly since I was a boy. So I didn't need to learn a whole lot more. Thank
you, Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Yes, Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: I took everything into account and wrote my thoughts down. So I want to start by
saying every developer I've seen from the seat has said that their parking plans
exceed the requirements and they've never had a problem with parking. I challenge
them to talk directly to their residents. There is never enough parking. I'm very
familiar with the housing shortage in my role, density changes are inevitable and
cities across the country are revising their zoning guidelines to accommodate this
need. In this particular case, however, I take issue most with the type of apartments
proposed. If I had known at 18, that how the salary of a social worker translates
into the real world I may have reconsidered. The average hourly wage to afford a
two bedroom rental in Virginia is slightly under $25 an hour, and it took me more
than a few years to reach that number after graduation. I'm a Master's educated
professional and I make well below the median household income in Virginia
Beach, which is 98,000 as of 2019. The home I purchased in 2018 cost less than
half of the median home price of$324,000. My son and I live with our two dogs in
a 1000 square foot home with two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms and a
mortgage of about $800 per month. Owning a home is exhausting, and I miss
apartment life. And a comparably sized dog friendly apartment in the city starts at
$1300, an increase of over 60%. If I'm willing to forego air conditioning that number
drops to $1200, renting in Virginia Beach without significant lifestyle changes is
fiscally impossible for me. And we are pricing out the younger workforce, we are
trying to attract. So for that reason, I will be voting no.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: I appreciate everybody that came in opposition. I've talked to a number of you and,
you know, I live in, I've said it before, and I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing it,
but I live in the Great Neck - Shore Drive area I drive by this property, you know,
probably five times a week. I grew up in Virginia Beach, probably driven by this
property, you know, 1000s of times. I agree with Mr. Redmond, you know,
sometimes you kind of look at how it, you know, does it check all the boxes and
you look at traffic. And to kind of go over this, this is a reduction in the traffic that
could be created by the current zoning. If you were to build what the current zoning
allows, you would create more traffic than what this project would create. The
project is not going to promote neighborhood traffic. I mean it's right at a corner.
People are going to drive in; they're going to go into their parking garage. I don't
see them parking in the neighborhood or really driving through the neighborhood.
You know, Mr. Redmond talked about the height. I'm not going to go into that.
Yeah, some people have mentioned other uses for the property, retail and
commercial restaurant.And it said that there's not any vacant buildings on this side
39
of the Lesner Bridge. Well, there may not be right now but there have been in the
past and we all know that. At one point, there was a Harris Teeter that was going
to go on the other corner of Marlin Bay. I know because I was the developer, I was
working with Harris Teeter. And Harris Teeter turned the site down. Because when
you in the world of commercial real estate, you look at demographic rings and
when you do the demographic rings here, you pick up water, you pick up marsh;
you don't pick up that many people. I know. It seems like a lot of people but in the
world of commercial real estate, there's not enough demand to say we're going to
do all commercial on the site. Matter of fact, one of the other planning
commissioners brought up the dumpster. If you put restaurants there, you are
going to hear dumpsters, a lot more dumpsters that you're going to hear from an
apartment complex. I do think that that other building that's left I think that it has
probably a better chance of getting developed or redeveloped or modified for a
retail use. If we have this captured audience of apartments right there. You know,
I think I view the site is as almost a gateway into the Shore Drive Great Neck Area.
It is a very, I mean you look at these, these renderings. This is a very attractive
project. Like I said, checks all the boxes. I don't think stormwater is going to be an
issue. It's actually they're improving the stormwater. I know that change is
sometimes uncomfortable but I do think that Shore Drive, this area, it needs to
evolve. This is a great use, it's the highest and best use for the site. And I have
talked to a lot of people in your neighborhood that are for and against it. And yeah,
there's a lot of people in Ocean Park against it. I have tried to find a reason to not
want to see this project approved. I've really tried it, you may not believe that, but
I have tried. I'm going to support this project. I think it's great for the Shore Drive
corridor. I think it checks all the boxes. I think it's gonna be an improvement. And
so anyway, that's I am going to be supporting this project.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Graham. Who is next?
Ms. Oliver: Is Ric still here?
Mr. Weiner: Ric Lowman, are you still here?There he is, come on up here, Ric.
Ms. Oliver: I hate for you to sit here all day and not, you know, get a chance, somebody asked
you a question.
Mr. Lowman: Ric Lowman, city traffic engineer, licensed professional engineer.
Ms. Oliver: So Ric, just for clarification, on Shore Drive, because there's a lot of conversation
about traffic and not traffic. And this morning and in formal, we talked about if by
right, we use that piece of property for drive through restaurant and how much
traffic that would generate and how much traffic that the apartment complex would
generate, basically, the trips in and out for people going to work, and things like
that,just for clarity, and how, what this road does. Because I thought what you did
40
this morning was a great presentation. Actually, I thought I knew a lot about Shore
Drive till you did that. And I think it would be just good, just sort of put it on the
record a little bit.
Mr. Lowman: Sure. So the first part of that was the by right, the by right land use and looking at
the size of the site, you know, they could put a fast food restaurant on the site by
right. With that, it would generate I think, I don't remember the exact numbers. But
when you add that together with what they could put on the other part of the site,
that zoned, the other part that's not zoned B-2, you could generate about 2000
trips a day. Most of that being the fast food with a drive through. With the
apartments, they could generate about 1448 trips per day. So that would mean
that there would be a net decrease in trips if this lot was developed with apartment
versus a fast food restaurant. So I mean, that's just a fact. As David Bradley
mentioned, you know, the trips are going to be different, because the apartments
will generate more traffic in the afternoon. When people come home, and it'll
generate some traffic in the morning, when people leave for work. Apartments are
much different than single family homes, though. So apartments generate much
less traffic than single family homes. So all these uses are different, but in the end,
the traffic study considered all that. And the traffic study showed that, you know,
this development is going to generate 30% less traffic per day, then the by right
uses and I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: And then maybe expand a little bit about the type of road that Shore Drive is?
Mr. Lowman: Sure, Shore Drive is considered a major arterial, urban arterial in the City of Virginia
Beach. I mean, it's one of the, it's really the only,you know, East West streets, you
know, north of Virginia Beach Boulevard. And as such it carries a lot of traffic. The
one difference between Shore Drive and independence Boulevard is that Shore
Drive doesn't have any major intersecting intersections, so it can carry a lot more
traffic; your delays on roadways, your major roadways are going to be at your
signalized intersections. Independence Boulevard has many signalized
intersections that carry a lot of traffic like Rosemont, Independence Boulevard,
Lynnhaven. Shore Drive doesn't have many of those big intersections. The only
ones that really has is Great Neck and Pleasure House. As we discussed First
Court is not that big but it's one of the, it's one of the bigger ones on Shore Drive
in that stretch. So Shore Drive has the capability of carrying a lot more traffic
because the city can give much more green time to Shore Drive. It doesn't have to
give traffic you know, doesn't have to give green time to the side streets because
the side streets are very, very light. And Marlin Bay is one of those, you know, light
side streets, Marlin Bay slash Shady Oaks. So in that way, you know, Shore Drive
can carry a lot more traffic than another, you know, four lane divided urban major
arterial roadway, because it just doesn't have that many major intersections.
41
Ms. Oliver: Right. And thank you. Because I think that's extremely important for people to
understand that particular artery in our city, and how it used. One thing I would do
want to, one of the other things I'd like to ask you about is that, and I don't live on
Shore Drive, so I don't know, was that there was a reference to this intersection
about accidents?
Mr. Lowman: Okay, well, I took some notes.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, great.
Mr. Lowman: Yeah, I did. So I don't know of the crashes that they were speaking about. But I
can tell you we do crash analysis.And we take the last three years of police reports
that we have for all the signalized intersections in the city, and all the roadway
segments in the city. So these are the numbers that came directly out of our annual
report, the latest report being 2017 to 2019. So there's of the 378 signalized
intersections that were studied, this intersection rank 194th out of 378. So in the
bottom half, we are right about average for crashes, there were 11 crashes in the
intersection. And the rank doesn't just count the number of crashes in the
intersection. What it does it takes into account all the volume, the volume of traffic,
so it's kind of a weighted average. And it also takes into account the severity of the
crashes.So this puts this intersection,you know, right in the middle of all signalized
intersections, it hasn't risen, you know, from say 2015 to 2017 to this period, you
know, it's pretty average about 3.2 to 3.3 crashes a year at the intersection, and
nothing really jumps out at us from that. I did check. There haven't been any
crashes at the intersection this year, which is good news. There have been two
crashes around the intersection one was a rear end crash on Eastbound Shore
Drive past the intersection, just east of the intersection. And the other one was a
really strange crash on Marlin Bay Drive, where a woman drove down the wrong.
And I apologize, it may have been a woman or a man, I just saw a woman's name
is part of the crash, but someone drove the wrong way on Marlin Bay. And they
were cited for a DUI and it was in the middle of the day. It was weird.
Ms. Oliver: Right. So great, thank you.
Mr. Lowman: Any other questions?
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions for Ric? Thanks Ric.
Mr. Wall: It's not traffic, but the parking, people mentioned parking on Marlin Bay a couple
of times?
Mr. Lowman: Yes.
42
Mr. Wall: And that's not necessarily traffic. But it's there's no parking, or what's the
restrictions?
Mr. Lowman: The parking on the, I guess the west side of Marlin Bay Drive, it's restricted and I
believe its 8 pm to 6 am. Don't quote me on those. But I know, it's to restrict people
from parking there overnight and using the park. So that parking was generally for
the, you know, for Pleasure House Point, but northbound, I know for at least the
first block there's no parking allowed. I couldn't tell you exactly. We have a lot of
roads in the city. I could do some research, but I know that southbound.
Mr. Wall: Right, it's southbound, right but it's northbound and there's no parking, I mean,
they can park there.
Mr. Lowman: If it's allowed, they could park there. It's probably parking.
Mr. Wall: Public right away. Sure. Okay. All right. Thanks.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Inman. Thanks Ric.
Mr. Inman: You are off Ric, for a minute.
Mr. Weiner: Yes sir, go ahead.
Mr. Inman: I just want to start by saying that we are, as Mr. Graham mentioned,we are looking
here to see if this is the highest and best use of the property. And we need to have
this in that context. Also, the context of its zone B, half of B-2 the other part is
residential. And there are lots of possibilities with B-2 and we've just heard some
recent discussion about that. So what do you do with this property and why is it
still sitting there after all this time? B-2 is a very liberal, commercial zoning
category. Lots of things can be done in B-2 including what we just talked about.
The traffic study the restaurant site, possibility. So what did we do with this
property,then I heard a lot of even the opposition speaker say that they didn't have
a problem with apartments, they just have a problem with these apartments in a
way it's designed. Well, actually, the Bayfront Advisory Commission in that report,
they said that they were great with the architecture and in fact there was a
response to their concerns about architecture that were met by the applicant in
terms of reducing the height of that western portion of the structure. But they also
wanted the southern portion of the structure reduced. And because they, the
applicant said that we can't do it without 197 that's the best we can do to reduce it
from 227 to 197.They disapproved the project,although they liked the architecture,
as it turned out in the end as I read the report. So apartments aren't bad there
according to the sort of a consensus. And so then the developer has to figure out
well, okay, they want more aesthetics to the approach from the west. So they set
it back, and we reduce the height. And we enclosed parking, which is part of the
43
guidelines that everybody's supposed to be following on apartment developments,
not to have parking outside the buildings, right, that's accomplished, that's not
cheap to do. But it also sort of forced the building toward the east. And that,
unfortunately, is having some impact, obviously, on some homeowners who have
spoken to us today, and I respect that they're doing their best to offset that by
planting strip, and the height of trees that will be adjacent on that strip to minimize
that impact. Were it not developed as an apartment project, it would most likely be
developed with a denser housing, and on that southern part of the property, which
is zoned for housing now. So it's, and we know that we also have heard people
comment about how retail is the problem, I mean getting that's probably a good
reason why it hasn't been developed B-2 because everybody's afraid to make the
investment in B-2. And I think that the traffic that is generated on Shore Drive,
yeah, sure there are times, it's really bad. And I've lived here 40 some years, I've
used to live up in the Great Neck area, I've driven Shore Drive a million times, I've
been in the traffic. But the 197 units in here are not going to be a significant
according that's not my opinion, this is the opinion of experts who have analyzed
the data, and analyzed the sources and the time of day and all that business and
I don't think the feeling or the impression that traffic is going to be severely
impacted or worsened by this project is real. I don't think it's real. So that's my
thoughts on it.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir. Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: I think the architecture is very good. I think the Peterson Company is great
company. I think that, you know, they've worked with the Bayfront Advisory
Commission to certain extents, you know, they didn't get quite the approval they
were looking for. But they did reduce the number of units. I think it did impact the
landscaping upfront on Shore Drive. I think it not proved, but I think it's been shown
that the traffic, you know, won't negatively be, shouldn't be negatively impacted or
should be negatively, shouldn't be impacted one way or the other. Economics are
good, fiscal impacts positively for the city. I think they've shown parking shouldn't
be negatively, shouldn't be impacted, negatively impacted. I think they've dodged,
you know, a large bullet with when the Pleasure House Point Park was already
zoned PDH-1 so that whole area could have been developed, it's huge track of
lands. And I'm not sure that anything really is going to satisfy the homeowners
within Ocean Park, you know, whatever, whatever goes there. However, the
Comprehensive Plan there, this is suburban focus area one. And it's stated there
to preserve and protect the character of established neighborhoods. I think the
residents see this, that it will impact them negatively, the Bayfront Advisory
Commission, the way that this is laid out, as pointed that it will impact the
neighborhood. I'm not sure if it is best and highest use for the property. So I plan
to not support it. And I will probably support the road closures, but not the project
itself. Thank you.
44
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Bradley.
Mr. Bradley: I am hoping to have training wheels for another meeting, but I guess I need to take
the training wheels off. I'm not too far from what was just discussed. There's a lot
of positives with the project, I think it's a good looking apartment complex. And we
need apartments in the city. I like the multi-use walkway that's going to be
integrated into it. It's got nice landscaping. So, I think the project itself would look
good.The fiscal impact,you know, as the former budget director in the city, I guess
can't ever get that hat off, I guess. But you know, the fiscal impact is slight in the
scheme of things. And I'm not minimizing that residential development generally
doesn't pay for itself, because it's not just the roadways in schools. It's the calls for
service for EMS and fire and police and more human services workers. So its slight
and apartments generally are slightly fiscally positive because of the low school
multipliers. But at the end of the day, you know, the stakeholders that live in this
community thought that the zoning, you know had a zoning expectation and this is
much denser than what they were expecting. And you know, one of the things that
stood out to me in the formal discussion, I think the Civic League president brought
it up today was this I think it's a second page, we talked about the density. And to
me, it is a dramatic change from what the people that moved in that area that have
invested in that area, you know,were expecting. Throw in the fact that the Bayfront
Advisory Committee, which is a council appointed committee that looks at those
issues in that area also did not support it. I'm gonna be voting against the
application.
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else?
Ms. Oliver: So obviously this application, and I'll try not to repeat what everybody's said here.
It's been on in the spotlight for quite some time. And interestingly enough, as we
all know,we don't have a whole lot of land here left to develop and especially north
of the green line. And I've been down in Florida a lot lately,just took my daughter
down there to school, my parents live down there. My father was an executive
down there for many, many years and Florida is a great state as far as how they
seem to do this beautiful dance of single family homes and townhouses and three
story and four story apartments and high rises all within the same area of each
other. They do it well, and everything's landscaped and there's big, beautiful
sidewalks and there's berms and transition from one area to another. And it's
something that I always thought Virginia Beach should aspire or attempt or at least
try to hit that target on some lines. I think we have not done it more often than we
have done it. But my daughter lives in, I think it's a three story it's an apartment.
And right down, literally across the street from her is a development called Baldwin
Park, absolutely stunning. And right next to that is a high rise and right next to that
is the prettiest street with restaurants and apartments on top of that, and a large
park and I just thought Virginia Beach should try its very best to do something
along the lines of that. And I think that as much as we look at this, it is, you know,
45
we've gotten a garage, which is centered in the building. So for once, we don't
have to see a garage, parking garage, which we see a lot of those down at the
resort. And so that's concealed.And we've got three stories, four stories,that's not
that big. A three story house is not that tall. And a four story building is not that tall.
We've got it set back, we've got this beautiful segue of this wonderful walk, front
doors that actually face Shore Drive. And it's developed enough so that we can
actually, as Mr. Trower had said earlier, granted, unfortunately, the rents are what
they are today. I wish we could get around it, Lord knows the one I'm paying for
my daughter down in Florida is a lot higher. But that's an economy thing and that's
all over. But when you look at this, and as the landscaping matures, and to be able
to walk from here across Marlin Bay, use the Brock Center, do all of that I just think
that they've done a good job as far as trying to incorporate something that's a little
bit higher scale design than what we typically see. So, I like the project and I hope
I'd like to see it go forward.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Well, I look at these renderings here and then look at the pictures of the site plan,
I said wow, what a difference and you know, I understand kind of what the
neighborhoods are talking about density but they've really willing to drop down on
some of that density and you know, it just like Mr. Inman, the highest and best use
and to me right now this looks like the highest and best use for this piece of
property. And I think it's more than just the highest and best use, it's an amenity
for the city. Go along what Dee just said, you know, I think it's something that, you
know, people coming down on Shore Drive and see this. These renderings here,
really, I think it's pretty astonishing to have along Shore Drive. I don't live over
there, I don't think I could stand to live over there in a place that's that tight and
whatever. But a lot of people love it. And a lot of people don't like where I live. So
that makes a good mix of everybody. But this is, if I was a young person, young
professional person looking for a start and I could come to Virginia Beach and try
to find me a job, I think this is somewhere I would probably like to pursue and you
know, have that close vicinity to get to the beach and whatever. And I just think it's
a good thing and I'll plan on supporting this.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir, Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Yes sir. I kind of want to go along with Robyn here. But money is what the money
is. And I don't know how some people afford to start out and live in places like this
nowadays and my wife agrees with the community,of course. But I've had probably
Mr. Peterson's displeasure of having inspected a few of his properties over the
years. And he does a lot better job than a lot of other people in the profession. I
mean, I've seen places where I've written three and four pages and wait three or
four months to get things corrected when here is the exact opposite. Not that he
46
gets a rubber stamp, but he's proven thus far to be good at what he does, and I'll
be supporting.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Real quick. And I'm not going to get back to what everybody else has said.
But I'm gonna go in a different direction. I like doing that. I'm gonna bring up
something my colleagues are probably tired of me hearing but I have to because
it falls in line what this is. So about 10 years ago, I was out there. I was out there
where you are. I was sitting out there with you and there was a lot more people
here and there was an apartment complex called 525 Apartments of Kempsville,
Witchduck and Princess Anne Road. And everybody out there was not in favor of
Mr. Horsley, he was up here and he says he remembers me but I don't think he
does. And I was out there speaking and that apartment complex is in my backyard
in Kempsville and nobody liked it, nobody wanted it, but I thought, you know, this
is going to revitalize our area. And right now, there's a 185 apartments in there.
And if you ask everybody in the neighborhood today, they'll tell you why we can't,
we don't even know anybody lives there. We can't tell cars are coming in and out.
It's clean. It brings development to our area. It's revitalizing the neighborhood. It
has not lost one penny. Everybody out there said we're gonna lose value on our
homes. It has not lost one value in the area. If anything, it's helped our area out in
Kempsville. I'm also a member of another committee Envision 2040, which Mr.
Horsley there started that committee back in 2012. And back in 2012, we had
440,000 people in the city. Right now we're at about 460,000. And our goal, not
our goal, but it's —we're progressing by 2040 maybe have close to half a million
people in the city.And where are we going to live?We can't find places to live now.
And as Ms. Oliver said, we're running out of room to build. I think we really need
to take a step back and decide how we're going to do this and we had to find places
for people to live. Oceana if I'm not mistaken, Oceana, working on or is working on
bringing another Squadron here. That's close to 3000 people. We just approved
100,000 square foot facility in the City of Virginia Beach last month. It's going to
bring 400 to 600 more jobs here to the city. People are coming here to live, people
want to live in this corridor. Mr. Redmond said it best back in Marina Shores when
they wanted to put the apartment on top of the tennis court. People want to live in
your area. I know you don't like it. It's changed. It's called change. But people want
to come live in the Shore Drive corridor area. It's a beautiful place to live.They love
it. We just have to find places for them to live there. So I'm going to be supporting.
Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: Ms. Eisenberg, do I understand correctly?We need to vote on these six and seven
as one item? Eight and nine as another.
Ms. Eisenberg: Yes.
Mr. Redmond:Okay. Therefore, I move approval of agenda items number six and seven.

DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021 (APPLICANT IS REQUESTING DEFERRAL)
• Background:
The subject properties located within the Shore Drive Corridor are zoned both B-2
Community Business District (3.20 acres) and PD-H1 Planned Unit Development
District(2.20 acres). The sites are currently developed with a boat sales dealership
and boat storage yard. Requests to close a portion of Ocean Tides Drive and
Clipper Bay Drive in conjunction with this proposal to redevelop the site with an
apartment complex are provided to the City Council under separate cover. This
Agenda Request Form is specific to the applications for a conditional rezoning of
6.20-acres to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District as well as a Conditional Use
Permit for up to 197 multi-family apartment units for a resulting density of 31 .77
units per acre.
There is an existing retail building where the boat sales exist that will remain in
operation and no improvements are planned to that portion of the site other than
an overall reduction in the acreage for commercial uses from 3.20 acres to just
over one acre. The proposed apartment buildings will be three and four stories.
Specifically, the proffered elevations depict a 41/2-story parking garage wrapped
with apartment units and a three-story western wing. The proffered elevations
indicate the use of architectural roof shingles, premium vinyl siding, brick veneer,
vinyl column and aluminum railings, board and batten and shake siding accents,
and vinyl windows.
The proposed development requires a minimum of 390 parking spaces, 358
spaces for the 197 multi-family dwelling units and 32 spaces for the 12,000 square
foot commercial building. The concept plan depicts 346 spaces within the parking
garage structure and 45 surface parking spaces, thereby exceeding the parking
requirement by one space.
MP Shore, LLC
Page 2 of 5
The proffered concept plan also depicts a 10-foot wide multi-use trail on the subject
property along Shore Drive, pedestrian pathways throughout the development,
and a striped crosswalk to access the Pleasure House Point Natural Area
southwest of the development.
On September 30, 2021, the applicant submitted a written request to defer this
application until the December 7, 2021 City Council public hearing in order to
continue discussion with the surrounding communities. A copy of this request is
attached.
■ Considerations:
While the proposed density at 31.77 units per acre is higher compared to
developments in the immediate surrounding area, the proposal is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan's 2002 Shore Drive Corridor Design Guidelines
recommendation of low to medium density residential development within this
"Mixed Zone" of the Shore Drive Corridor. The Comprehensive Plan and Design
Guidelines also encourage the revitalization and reuse of existing commercial
properties in the Corridor with uses that avoid over-commercialization and are
mindful of land use compatibility issues. The redevelopment of the storage yard
with multi-family dwelling units provides a more desirable as well as compatible
transition of uses from Shore Drive to the residential dwellings within the
neighborhood than the existing use. This policy is also specifically addressed
through this proposal with the reduction in the amount of commercial acreage as
well as the elimination of an undesirable use along the heavily traveled Shore Drive
Corridor. The redevelopment will remove the aging bulk storage yard, developed
in the 1980s prior to the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit, that is not well-
screened or well-organized. Today, the storage yard and its contents can be easily
seen from the surrounding rights-of-way and serves as an unattractive landmark
at an entryway into the Ocean Park neighborhood. The unscreened and
unbuffered bulk storage yard is not ideally situated adjacent to dwellings and as
stated above not preferred along this portion of Shore Drive.
While not required, a preliminary stormwater management analysis was submitted
to the Development Services Center (DSC) outlining the proposed stormwater
strategy for this site. The DSC has reviewed the preliminary stormwater analysis
and finds that the submitted stormwater strategy has the potential to successfully
comply with stormwater regulations for this site.
The final Traffic Impact Study (TIS) indicates that the combined average daily trips
(ADT) for by-right development on these parcels at their most intense use could
be up to 1,884,which is approximately 30% more trips when compared to the 1,448
ADT generated by the proposed 197 multi-family units. The TIS also notes that the
overall operations at the Shore Drive/Marlin Bay Drive intersection will be
acceptable in the peak hours with the proposed development; however, delays for
traffic on northbound Marlin Bay Drive will increase significantly during the morning
and afternoon peak hours if the signal timing at this intersection is not modified to
MP Shore, LLC
Page 3 of 5
provide more green time for the Marlin Bay Drive movements. Based on this, a
signal system retiming study was done and showed that Shore Drive corridor traffic
would not be significantly impacted by this adjustment. Finally, the TIS also
recommends the installation of a left-turn lane on westbound Shore Drive at the
Ocean Tides Drive/Powhatan Avenue intersection for vehicles turning into the
proposed development. The proffered concept layout plan now depicts this
improvement.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report.
The applicant met with the Ocean Park Civic League and Shore Drive Community
Coalition to discuss the details of the requests. The applicant also created a
website specifically for the public to review information regarding this proposal. In
addition, the applicant provided a presentation to the Bayfront Advisory
Commission (BAC) and their design committee. The BAC recommended that the
south wing of the building adjacent to existing townhouses be reduced from four
to three stories. While the applicant did not make this full adjustment to the entire
project, the scale of the proposal was reduced from the original request of 227
multi-family dwelling units to 197. The BAC passed a motion to not support the
project stating that it did not meet the density recommendations in the
Comprehensive Plan or the elements of the Design Guidelines in terms of the scale
and context of new buildings in relation to the character of the site.
Staff received 9 letters of support and 349 letters of opposition. There was 1
speaker in support and 17 speakers in opposition at the Planning Commission
public hearing. The opposition noted concerns related to proposed density, impact
to Ocean Park neighborhood, conflict with character of the surrounding area,
inconvenience to public, stormwater and flooding, lack of good faith effort
regarding public outreach, and on-site parking adequacy.
• Recommendation:
On September 8, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of the Conditional Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit by a vote of 7-

Background & Summary of Proposal
• These requests were deferred by the Planning Commission on June 9, 2021 and again on July 14,2021 per the
applicant's request in order to revise the Traffic Impact Study(TIS). This report has been updated since the original
publication for the June 9,2021 Planning Commission public hearing to address the components of the updated TIS.
• The request is threefold and includes Street Closures,a rezoning and a Conditional Use Permit for multi-family
dwellings in the Shore Drive Overlay District. Specifically,the applicant seeks a Street Closure of approximately
26,400 square feet of Clipper Bay Drive and approximately 12,500 square feet of Ocean Tides Drive; a Conditional
Rezoning request from PD-H1 Planned Unit Development and B-2 Community Business District to Conditional B-4
Mixed Use District;and a Conditional Use Permit request to construct an apartment building complex with up to a
maximum of 197 multi-family dwelling units,at a density of 31.77 units per acre.
• Clipper Bay Drive and Ocean Tides Drive are partially improved with curb and gutter on a portion of Ocean Tides
Drive and gutter on Clipper Bay Drive.
• The proposed multi-family building varies in height of three to four stories.The proffered elevations depict a 4%-
story parking garage wrapped with apartment units and a three-story western wing.The proffered elevations depict
the apartment building with architectural roof shingles, premium vinyl siding, brick veneer,vinyl column and
aluminum railings, board and batten and shake siding accents,and vinyl windows.
• The area available for commercial uses will be reduced from 3.20 acres to just over one acre. This area is located on
the eastern portion of the site and will continue to be occupied by the existing boat sales dealership and a possible
eating and drinking establishment,as depicted on the submitted renderings.The ultimate uses are subject to market
demand and as permitted by-right in the Zoning Ordinance.
• The proposed development requires a minimum of 390 parking spaces,358 spaces for the 197 multi-family dwelling
units and 32 spaces for the 12,000 square foot commercial building. The concept plan depicts 346 spaces within the
parking garage structure and 45 surface parking spaces,thereby exceeding the parking requirement by one space.
• The proffered concept plan depicts a 10-foot wide multi-use trail on the subject property along Shore Drive,
pedestrian pathways throughout the development, and a striped crosswalk to access the Pleasure House Point
Natural Area southwest of the development.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicants' requests for the closure of the rights-of-way,the Conditional Rezoning, and the Conditional Use Permit
to redevelop the 6.20-acre site in Staff's opinion are acceptable.
As required by City Code, a Viewers' Meeting was held on December 2, 2020,that included City Staff from the
Departments of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning & Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney,
to consider closure of portion of Clipper Bay Drive and Ocean Tides Drive. The Viewers noted that the residents of Ocean
Park do use this portion of Ocean Tides Drive or Clipper Bay Drive that are proposed for closure, and that there are
existing paved alternative routes that provide access to and from the neighborhood and the City park from Shore Drive
that include a safe and signalized intersection.Therefore, the Viewers determined that the proposed closure will not
result in any public inconvenience and closure of these portions of the rights-of-way are deemed acceptable.
While the proposed density at 31.77 units per acre is higher compared to developments in the immediate surrounding
area, in Staff's view the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's 2002 Shore Drive Corridor Design
Guidelines recommendation of low to medium density residential development within this "Mixed Zone" of the Shore
Drive Corridor. The Comprehensive Plan and Design Guidelines also encourage the revitalization and reuse of existing
commercial properties in the Corridor with uses that avoid over-commercialization and are mindful of land use
compatibility issues.The redevelopment of the storage yard with multi-family dwelling units provides a more desirable
as well as compatible transition of uses from Shore Drive to the residential dwellings within the neighborhood than the
existing use. This policy is also specifically addressed through this proposal with the reduction in the amount of
commercial acreage as well as the elimination of an undesirable use along the heavily traveled Shore Drive corridor. The
redevelopment will remove the aging bulk storage yard, developed in the 1980s prior to the requirement of a
Conditional Use Permit, that is not well-screened or well-organized. Today,the storage yard and its contents can be
easily seen from the surrounding rights-of-way and serves as an unattractive landmark at an entryway into the Ocean
Park neighborhood. The unscreened and unbuffered bulk storage yard is not ideally situated adjacent to dwellings and
as stated above not preferred along this portion of Shore Drive.

The Shore Drive Corridor Plan, part of the Comprehensive Plan's Reference Handbook, includes design
recommendations for the Shore Drive Corridor addressing setbacks, massing,scale and context, building materials,
pedestrian orientation,and parking location. Staff's review for consistency with the Shore Drive Corridor Design
Guidelines ("the Guidelines") is provided below.
Setbacks and Massing-The Guidelines recommend placing structures close to right-of-way lines to create more
architectural interest.Also recommended is that facades be articulated to reduce the scale of the structure and
the one-dimensional appearance of buildings to encourage a more human scale and pedestrian orientation.
Consistent with the Guidelines,the front facade of the building is located at the front yard setback and has
multiple street-oriented entrances with interesting architectural features such as porches and columns that
enhance the exterior appearance of the buildings and prevent linear massing.
Scale and Context-The immediate surrounding developments on the south side of Shore Drive consist of two-
story townhomes.The subject site is within the Mixed Zone of the Shore Drive Corridor and fronts Shore Drive,
where a higher and denser development is more appropriate. Less than half a mile east of the subject site, before
the Lesner Bridge,there are apartment buildings as tall as 15-stories that are also located within the Mixed Zone
of the Shore Drive Corridor. It should also be noted that the building height for by-right developments within the
existing B-2 Community Business District,of which there is 3.20 acres, can be built up to a height of 200 feet.
Building Materials-The Guidelines specifically call for high-quality materials for the walls, roofs,windows and
doors.The proffered elevations identify materials and design elements of architectural roof shingles, premium
vinyl siding, brick veneer,vinyl column and aluminum railings, board and batten and shake siding accents,and
vinyl windows, all of which are consistent with the Guidelines with the exception of the wall materials.The
exterior walls will include of the use of premium vinyl siding and brick veneer while the Guidelines recommend use
of"clad in wood, cedar shingles, hardboard siding, lightweight concrete siding, or shingles."
Pedestrian Orientation-The conceptual site layout depicts a 10-foot multi-use trail along Shore Drive to be
installed by the applicant. Pedestrian pathways are provided throughout the development for access to the
parking garage,community amenities,commercial space, and public streets. In addition,a striped crosswalk will
be provided to access the Pleasure House Point Trail located west of this development.The multiple pedestrian
access points and green space along Shore Drive achieve a multi-modal option for residents.
Parking—The proposed four and a half-story parking structure is wrapped by the four-story apartment building,
which creates a more aesthetically pleasing design that blends in with the surrounding residential community.
With the exception of parking area for the existing boat sales dealership located between the building and public
street,that does not conform with the Guidelines,all new surface parking spaces are located toward the rear of
the building and screened from the public rights-of-way as recommended in the Guidelines.
The concept plan indicates a proposed community identification signage at the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin
Bay Drive.An exhibit of the freestanding sign was not provided with the submittal; however, a condition is
recommended that such a sign have a brick base, be no taller than eight feet high and eight feet long, be externally lit,
and be constructed with materials and colors that complement the exterior of the proposed apartment building.The
submitted renderings also depicts an iconic identification feature, specifically a sculpture, at the entrance along Shore
Drive.A condition is recommended for the installation of such a feature and will be reviewed at final site plan.
While not required,a preliminary stormwater management analysis was submitted to the Development Services Center
(DSC)outlining the proposed stormwater strategy for this site. The DSC has reviewed the preliminary stormwater
analysis and finds that the submitted stormwater strategy has the potential to successfully comply with stormwater
regulations for this site. More detailed information can be found in the Stormwater Impacts section of this report.

The applicant submitted a revised Traffic Impact Study(TIS)for review on August 20, 2021.The revised TIS considers
traffic volume for developments on the B-2 and PD-H1 zoning districts that could be constructed today as a matter of
right.The TIS assumes that the B-2 zoned parcel (2.08-acre), excluding the 1.04-acre portion that is occupied by the
Lynnhaven Marine Boat Retail, could be developed with a 4,000 square foot eating and drinking establishment with a
drive-through and 26 multi-family units could be developed on the 1.9-acre portion zoned PD-H1.The combined average
daily trips (ADT)for these developments could be up to 2,074. However, multi-family development within the Shore
Drive Overlay District would be subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit;therefore,Staff excluded the ADT
generation of the 26 dwellings from this analysis.The ADT generation from a fast food restaurant with a drive-through
could be up to 1,884,which is approximately 30% more trips when compared to the 1,448 ADT generated by the
proposed 197 multi-family units.
The TIS indicates that the overall operations at the Shore Drive/Marlin Bay Drive intersection will be acceptable in the
peak hours with the proposed development. However,the TIS shows that the delays for traffic on northbound Marlin Bay
Drive will increase significantly with this development in the AM and PM peak hours if the signal timing at this intersection
is not modified to provide more green time for the Marlin Bay Drive movements. The applicant's engineer performed a
signal system retiming study to show that Shore Drive corridor traffic would not be significantly impacted by giving green
time to the northbound approach and taking time away from Shore Drive at this intersection. The revised TIS also
recommends for an installation of a left-turn lane on westbound Shore Drive at the Ocean Tides Drive/Powhatan Avenue
intersection for vehicles turning into the proposed development. The applicant submitted a revised concept layout plan
that included the new left-turn lane as recommended by the TIS. Traffic Engineering has reviewed the revised TIS and
concurs with its findings.
With respect to school impacts,Virginia Beach City of Public Schools Staff finds that the number of students generated
by the development can be accommodated for the respective grade and attendance zone. The schools are all currently
within an acceptable utilization range of+/-10%of optimum capacity.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of these applications,subject to the proffers and conditions
below.
The applicant met with the Ocean Park Civic League and Shore Drive Community Coalition to discuss the details of the
requests. Details of the project are also posted on a website created by the applicant. The applicant discussed the
elements of the project with the Bayfront Advisory Commission (BAC) and their design committee.The BAC
recommended that the south wing of the building adjacent to existing townhouses be reduced from four to three
stories.While the applicant did not make this adjustment,the scale of the proposal was reduced from the original
request of 227 multi-family dwelling units to 197. The BAC passed a motion to not support the project stating that it did
not meet the density recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan or the elements of the Design Guidelines in terms of
the scale and context of new buildings in relation to the character of the site.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being in Suburban Focus Area 1—Shore Drive Corridor.The Shore Drive
Corridor is an integral part of the Bayfront Community,extending from North Independence Boulevard to First Landing
State Park.While primarily a residential community,the corridor shares the responsibility of being one of Virginia
Beach's primary east-west connectors,creating unique and sometimes problematic challenges.The area is considered a
resort neighborhood and not a resort destination.The Shore Drive Corridor is primarily a residential neighborhood area
with commercial uses to support the residents.
The Shore Drive Corridor is an integral part of the Bayfront Community,extending from North Independence Boulevard
to First Landing State Park.While primarily a residential community,the corridor shares the responsibility of being one
of City's primary east-west connectors.The area is considered a resort neighborhood and not a resort destination. It is
also characterized with primarily neighborhood residential area,commercial uses that supports the neighborhoods, and
passive recreational and tourism activities. Similar to all the Suburban Areas in the City,the character of the established
neighborhoods along the Corridor must be preserved and protected.Though revitalization and reuse of existing
commercial properties in the Corridor is encourage,one must be mindful of the land use compatibility and avoidance of
over-commercialization to ensure that resort-based uses complement rather than dominate the Corridor. Future
residential uses should strive to achieve the lowest reasonable density to be compatible with the existing neighborhood
residential density.
Planning policies that apply to this request include improving the land use compatibilities, avoiding over-
commercialization, preserving and protecting the character of established neighborhoods and achieving the lowest
reasonable density for future residential uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.The site is also located in the AE and X Flood Zones with a Base
Flood Elevation of seven feet.There do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the
site.

Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
The project site consists of 5.82 acres consisting of multiple parcels and rights-of-ways and proposes a net reduction of
0.57 acres of impervious cover from existing condition. The northern portion of the project currently drains to the public
drainage system in Shore Drive, and the southern portion drains to the public drainage system in Ocean Tides Drive and
Marlin Bay Drive. The majority of the proposed development is designed to drain to proposed onsite stormwater
management facilities (SWMFs) before discharging to the public drainage systems in Ocean Tides Drive and Marlin Bay
Drive. The portion of the project that will continue to drain to Shore Drive has been reduced in both total area and
impervious area.
The proposed SWMFs will consist of two underground detention systems that will be located under the proposed
grassed areas, parking lot, and parking garage. The underground detention systems will be used to satisfy water
quantity requirements, and offsite nutrient credits will be used to satisfy water quality requirements. The preliminary
grading plans propose filling the site to an elevation of 7'to 8' above sea level (existing grades ranging from elevation 4'
to 7')to elevate the site/buildings above the FEMA Base Flood Elevation of 7'. The proposed detention chambers will
replicate the stormwater storage volume lost by filling the site.
The provided preliminary stormwater management design demonstrates conveyance of the runoff from the proposed
development for storms up to and including the 100-year event plus 1.5' of sea-level rise (SLR). The submitted
stormwater model included an offsite analysis to verify that the project will not have a negative impact or increase
flooding levels on the existing stormwater system upstream or downstream.
Based on the information provided by the Timmons Group in the Preliminary Stormwater Analysis, the DSC agrees that
the proposed conceptual stormwater management strategy has the potential to successfully comply with the
stormwater requirements. Final design and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal. More detailed
project stormwater information is listed below.

relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantors, for themselves, their successors, personal
representatives, assigns, grantee, and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and
without any requirement by or exaction from the Grantee or its governing body and without any

by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,shall continue in full force and
effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning of the Property and specifically repeals
such conditions. Such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance even if the subsequent amendment is part of a comprehensive implementation of a
new or substantially revised Zoning Ordinance until specifically repealed. The conditions,
however, may be repealed, amended, or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record
owner of the Property at the time of recordation of such instrument, provided that said
instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of an
ordinance or a resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee which was advertised pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-2204 of the

4
(2) The failure to meet all conditions and restrictions shall constitute cause to deny
the issuance of any of the required building or occupancy permits as may be appropriate;
(3) If aggrieved by any decision of the Zoning Administrator,made pursuant to these
provisions, the Grantors shall petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to
instituting proceedings in court; and

conditions attaching to the zoning of the Property, and the ordinances and the conditions may
be made readily available and accessible for public inspection in the office of the Zoning

Mr. Weiner: I want to say a couple of words real quick before we get started. We like doing this,
Planning Commissioners, and just wanted to take a few seconds to say a couple
of things. And we as Planning Commissioners, we actually have a role, and the
role of a Planning Commissioner is look at proper land use, okay,whether it would
be stormwater, natural resources, traffic, things like that. And I'm looking at people
out here and I just want to point out one thing, please treat people the way you'd
like to be treated. Okay, I've not had any problems with anybody on the phone. I've
talked to quite a few people on the phone. I've had quite a few emails from
everybody. Let's just treat everybody with respect, okay, and courtesy, and we will
have a lot of fun up here. I want to point out a couple things. If you are here to talk
as a group, or talk for a group or a Civic League, you'll get 10 minutes. Okay, for
that one person, everybody else will get three, you'll see a yellow light come on,
on the podium.When the little yellow light comes on, you have 30 seconds to finish
up your comments. And when the red light comes on, we're going to ask you to
stop. We have a lot of speakers and we want to hear everybody and give
everybody the fair amount of time to talk. Okay, thank you.
Madam Clerk: Okay, our next orders of business are agenda items 6, 7, 8 and 9. Items six and
seven are an application by JTR LLC for street closures on a portion of Ocean
Tides Drive, south of Shore Drive and north of Clipper Bay Drive and a portion of
1
Clipper Bay Drive right of way, south of Shore Drive and west of Ocean Tides Drive
in the Bayside District. Eight and nine are an application by MP Shore LLC for a
Conditional Change of Zoning (B-2 and PDH-1 Districts to Conditional B-4 Mixed
Use District) and a Conditional Use Permit (Multi-Family Dwellings) on property
located at 3829 and 3785 Shore Drive, adjacent parcel between Marlin Bay Drive
and 3829 Shore Drive in the Bayside District.Would the applicant or the applicant's
representative please step to the podium.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Ms. Murphy: Good afternoon Chairman, Vice Chairman, members of the Planning Commission,
Mr. Tajan and Ms. Eisenberg and Planning staff. For the record, my name is Lisa
Murphy and I'm a local zoning attorney with an office at 440 Monticello Ave, Suite
2200 in the City of Norfolk. I'm here today on behalf of the applicants Marlin Bay
LLC, JTR, Shore Drive area properties and Bay Liner LLC, in connection with
agenda item six and seven, which are the Street Closure applications, and items
eight and nine, which are the Conditional Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit
applications. These would allow for the redevelopment of approximately 6.3 acres
from B-2, and PD-H1 to B-4 SD Overlay in order to construct and operate 197 unit
multifamily apartment building with an existing active boat sales facility with space
for additional complimentary retail uses. By way of background, the owners of the
subject properties,the McCleskey and Browning families are long term landowners
who are very active in the community. They carefully selected the Terry Peterson
Companies as the developer for the properties based on the company's stellar
reputation as a local developer with a long track record of high quality projects and
a long term investment philosophy. As you all know, the Terry Peterson
Companies will develop a project and they will continue to own it, they won't flip it
to a, you know, a hedge fund out of Northern Virginia or New York they will own it,
they will maintain it and they have a very good track record of doing so. The
proposed redevelopment project and rezoning reflects years of study, analysis,
market research and outreach and represents really the highest and best use of
this prominent gateway to the City along Shore Drive. As you know, this is one of
the City's primary East-West connectors. The Marlin Bay mixed use project
involves as I mentioned the redevelopment of approximately 6.3 acres from B-2
and PD-H1 to B-4.And as I said it allows for the demolition of a boat trailer, storage
yard, and indoor and outdoor boat and RV storage building, and then the
construction of the new high end residential apartment community with the existing
boat dealership and an additional space left over. Just wanted to touch on a few
high points, the applicant after conducting outreach as you all know with various
stakeholders reduced the total unit count of the project by 30 units from 227 to 197
units. Doing this allowed the applicant to reduce the height of the section of the
building and you all talked about this a little bit at your informal from four stories to
three stories. That's that wing that faces the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin
Bay Drive. The section of the wings of the building that will remain four stories
2
conceal the parking structure, which provides full parking for all of the complex as
the staff report indicates, with a combination of uses, they still have one more
parking space than they're actually required to have. It's important to note, you all
discussed the fact that this complies with the Comprehensive Plan,the Shore Drive
Guidelines and the Corridor Overlay. The applicant in this case, although they
could, is not requesting deviations from any of the standard requirements; they
meet all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including the Shore Drive
Overlay. The apartment community itself will feature high end amenities including
resort style courtyard pool, multi-story clubhouse and fitness facility, bike storage,
kayak paddleboard, package delivery and a conference facility. It's also going to
have a two story clubhouse and fitness facility, so this will be consistent with other
very high end apartment communities in the city. The architecture of the building
is designed to blend with the Bayfront community, and to create a bold statement
to define this strategic focus area. The applicants have proffered the installation of
a 10-foot multi use trail along the entirety of the frontage on Shore Drive together
with providing pedestrian pathways throughout the development and a striped
crosswalk to access the Pleasure House Point area. I wanted to just touch briefly
on the street closure, it's the section of—that's not the pointer. There we go. Let's
get back, it's the section of Clipper Bay from Shore Drive. There we go. It exists
here right now. That's Clipper Bay from Shore Drive to Ocean Tides and then
Ocean Tides will remain as part of this street closure requirement. The reviewers
went out and evaluated that area and determined that there would not be an
inconvenience to the public, to go ahead and close that and include it in the overall
redevelopment of these five parcels. Let's take a look at your staff analysis, as a
result of the carefully planned placement and design to the proposed
improvements, the mixed use redevelopment project complies as staff indicates
with the Comprehensive Plan, the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District
requirements and the design guidelines. It's located within a mixed use zone of the
Shore Drive corridor where the Comprehensive Plan and the design guidelines
encourage revitalization and reuse of existing commercial properties. In fact, it
stresses that uses should avoid the over commercialization and be mindful of land
use compatibility. So we've got 3.2 acres that's currently in B-2 that's actually going
to be reduced to just over an acre that will be in that commercial component. As
the staff report indicates, because the subject property is within the mixed zone of
the Shore Drive and front Shore Drive, a higher density development is more
appropriate. Less than a half mile from the site, there are apartment buildings
within the mixed zone that are over 15 stories tall. Most of the buildings nearby are
three stories or taller. And in fact, on the 3.2 acre portion of the property currently,
which is zoned B-2, the owners could build a 200 foot building by-right and this is
indicated in your staff report. The redevelopment of the unsightly boat trailer
storage yard with a high end department community with an active boat dealership
provides a much more desirable and more compatible transition of uses from
Shore Drive to the residential dwellings within Ocean Park. Likewise, the design
and orientation of the building, the setback from the intersection, which I think Mr.
3
Inman had a question about that, from the road itself, the building is set back 60 to
80 feet. And at that intersection, if you see there, it actually looks like there's we
haven't measured it, it's more than 80 feet. And that was something that the
applicant did at the request of the community to sort of pull the project away from
the intersection. That gives us the ability to do more open space, more passive
uses. So, it's very, there'll be lush landscaping; you've got the open space. You'll
also have an art design feature which will be an iconic identification feature. And
then as I indicated, the multi-use trail ensures that the proposed development is
complimentary to the natural resource and open space of the city's Pleasure House
Point Park. The multi-use trail as Mr. Lowman indicated is something that the city
is going to be developing in phase four the Shore Drive improvement project. This
is a big section of Shore Drive that the applicant will actually be dedicating and
improving so they can continue this very nice resource for the people that live along
Shore Drive. Most everybody agrees,you know, you look for the things that people
agree on most, everybody agrees that the project is very attractive, and it will make
this a much more appealing and impressive gateway to the city. As I mentioned, it
will enhance the Shore Drive corridor to reflect the area's unique character, making
the corridor functional and attractive scenic gateway and access way to the resort
destination. Wanted to touch on a couple of more things, the benefits. Stormwater
impacts, the subject property is currently improved with gravel, paved parking and
buildings. It's almost entirely impervious, and it was developed at a time when the
city did not have stormwater regulations in place. By redeveloping this property,
the applicant is actually reducing the impervious cover by over a half acre and
they're bringing it up to the current high standard regulations. Stormwater
management facilities will be underground and stormwater will be treated before it
is discharged both for quantity and quality. As a result, the total area will continue
that will continue to drain into Shore Drive and Marlin Bay and Ocean Tides has
actually been reduced both in area and impervious cover. The new traffic impact
analysis, the applicant studied the area, the signal timing, and as the staff report
indicates, with changes to the signal timing at the intersection of Shore Drive and
Marlin Bay Drive that allows for more green time for Marlin Bay Drive movements.
And then the installation of left turn lane into the property for westbound Shore
Drive, all of the intersections will continue to operate at the same level of service.
So this is not going to have a negative impact on traffic. The applicant, and this is
something that normally comes up quite a bit, has proffered that it will reduce
existing curb cuts through the revised, the new site plan. So instead of having four
curb cuts, which you have now long Shore Drive, there'll be one on Shore Drive
and then the one of Marlin Bay. This will impact, this is something that normally
doesn't get looked at, but the city's economist has looked at this even with the
reduced number of units, and they're predicting that over the next 20 years, the
project will result in nearly$4 million in net revenue to the city. So it's very rare that
you have a residential project or mixed use project that actually contributes net
revenue to the city. In conclusion today, you will hear, no doubt you have heard a
lot of negative speculation and conjecture regarding the impact of the proposed
4
redevelopment project on the community. Despite the applicant's best efforts to
get out the facts and to address community concerns, through months of outreach
and studies resulting in significant changes to key components of the project. The
speculation and conjecture you will hear regarding the impact of the proposed
project simply ignores the facts recognized by your professional planning staff and
city engineers. This has been studied by the technical folks whose job it is to study
this and they are comfortable. The Marlin Bay mixed use redevelopment project
will revitalize and upgrade this critical gateway and access way to the city and is
the highest and best use of this valuable corner. As the staff report indicates and
as I've mentioned already, it does comply with the Comprehensive Plan, the Shore
Drive Corridor Overlay and the Shore Drive design guidelines. Commissioner
Oliver had a question about the siding. We had, as Hoa indicated, that was not
something that had come up before the Bayfront Area Advisory Commission,when
they looked at the building materials, they didn't take issue with any of the building
materials. It's our thought after really researching this, that that would be that vinyl
would be an appropriate siding and would actually stand up better and look better
over time than the hardy plank type products, but if you know, because the
multifamily is a Conditional Use Permit that's something certainly that if the
Commission felt strongly about, that we could add a condition to address that. As
I indicated, staff is recommending approval of all four applications. We respectfully
request that you also recommend approval and I'm happy to answer any questions
that you have. And if not, I'll stand by for rebuttal.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions? Yes.
Mr. Graham: I'm sure I'll have more questions after we hear the speakers. I just saw the siding.
Is it a premium quality vinyl siding? Or is it, can you or the builder or developer
described the siding?
Ms. Murphy: Yeah, it is a high quality premium vinyl siding where they've actually looked into
what's going to stand the test of time. John, do you want to come up and address
the siding?Because again, until very recently,this wasn't a question that had come
up with us.
Mr. Peterson: Good afternoon. John Peterson, representing MP Shore LLC.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Mr. Peterson: The siding that we would be proposing is the premium vinyl siding. The way that's
typically measured is based on thickness. It's 0.44 inches. And it has several
benefits over the cementitious siding, hardie plank, everything from color to wear
and tear, and even some environmental impacts as well. That's why we've chosen
to use that material.
5
Mr. Graham: This is a little bit of a loaded question, I guess, because I have hardie plank on my
house and hardie planks. I love hardie plank. But the problem with it is that it does
need to be repainted, recaulked, and it does fade.This vinyl siding, how does color
— how long does it last before it starts fading?
Mr. Peterson: The color should be indefinite. That's the one of the major benefits of it. I think that
to put some context on this, vinyl siding today is not what vinyl siding was 30 years
ago. And it's because of the fact that hardie plank and the other brand of
cementitious siding gained popularity. So vinyl manufacturers had to figure out
what was deficient about their product and they've improved it tremendously.
Color, you know, retaining color is one of the biggest things and you don't have to
paint it.
Mr. Graham: This has the same appearances as the hardie plank?
Mr. Peterson: It does.
Mr. Graham: That I just wanted to kind of clarify that. It is, you know, we'll get more into it later.
I think it's important that whatever goes here will last.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I hope this isn't out of turn. But I just wanted to mention in kind of as a corollary to
what you just said. This question of premium siding first came up that I remember
here,when we were looking at a an apartment complex off of Newtown Road called
Nexus that Boyd Companies built. You're a developer, you're familiar with it I'm
sure, that was the first time I ever heard the term of premium siding and the same
question came up and in the course of that debate, they'd said it's thicker. You
don't see seams as much, it doesn't warp, doesn't bend, it doesn't you know, it's
durable, it's much more durable, it doesn't fade anywhere near as well. You go
down that and that was some years ago, if you go down Newtown Road, that's a
pretty good looking project. It's very attractive project and sticks out like a sore
thumb on that part of Newtown Road simply by virtue of it's, you know, of its fine
appearance. So I've just wanted to add that because I forget about it later on.
Mr. Weiner: And it was a long time ago. That was a while ago. That was a while ago. Yeah,
that project still does look good.
Mr. Redmond: It still does look good.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, any other questions?
Ms. Klein: I have one for the attorney, what is the price point for the apartments?
6
Ms. Murphy: John, do you want to? Do you just want to address the price point for the
apartment?
Mr. Peterson: At this point, it is just projections, but I think that you could look at a one bedroom
that'd be probably starting around $1,400.
Ms. Klein: And how many square feet is that?
Mr. Peterson: Around 800 square feet.
Ms. Klein: Thank you.
Ms. Murphy: That's what I was gonna say. It's keeping in line with the Pearl Project, which is I
don't know if you were on the commission at the time that was done, it reassures.
Mr. Inman: Well, he's on that topic, what's the mix of number of bedrooms, three bedroom,
two bedroom, one bedroom?
Mr. Peterson: Right now we're projecting, and this could change when we get into actual design.
It's a roughly 40 to 43%,one bedroom, and then about 50, I can't do the quick math
50, a little over 50% two bedroom, and there's only a handful of three bedrooms.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Wall, any questions?
Mr. Wall: Can we get to the layout for the apartment complex? There's a couple things to
that one. A couple of things, so the question was asked this morning, which ones
are the three, not the three, the three story and the four story I think that was just
to set the context?
Ms. Murphy: This section right here, facing that intersection, right was the one they were able
to reduce to three stories. And then right here is your parking structure. And then
around the parking structure, you've got the four stories that are meant to conceal
the parking structure. So you're not seeing our construction.
Ms. Wall: What about the club? I mean, obviously that the pool was in the center. Where's
the clubhouse that you? You said it was a two story clubhouse?
Ms. Murphy: Yep.
Mr. Peterson: It's actually just two and, you know, playing right out of the pool itself. It's actually
built into the building.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so it's part of the structure.
7
Mr. Peterson: That's correct.
Mr. Wall: But that's four stories right there. So is that?
Mr. Peterson: Two stories of the common area, and then there'll be two stories of apartment.
Mr. Wall: Okay, all right. And the landscaping, there's the access drive on the kind of the
south side on the bottom that connects to Marlin Bay Drive. What is — so there's
landscaping on that side adjacent to the existing properties, right there. What is
that maybe I over looked at, what is that? What is the plan to be?
Mr. Peterson: The requirement in this zoning category is a 15 foot landscaping buffer, so those
are the—I don't know the exact species, but they'd be very tall, dense trees.
Mr. Wall: But right there, that's four stories. So I mean, they have to be pretty tall too.
because they'd be looking, those four stories would be looking down into the
existing, kind of existing properties, because those are only generally two stories
that are adjacent, there.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Bradley?
Mr. Bradley: I've got a question just about parking in general. And maybe this is kind of a
preliminary stage for you. But I know you meet the minimum zoning, but how are
you going to allocate it when you got one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom.
In my experience, when I go to apartment complexes, there is always very few
guest parking spaces available, and it's hard to access them a lot of times.
Mr. Peterson: Well, we had not determined whether we would do assigned parking spaces.
That's a kind of a market question. Candidly, we think that the parking ratio that's
required as a minimum is higher than necessary. And that's not conjecture that's
based on experience of the other couple thousand apartments that we either are
managing or own. And we have parking ratios that are typically lower than the
parking ratio that we have here. And we don't have any parking issues there. So
that's based, that's how we kind of arrived at parking numbers, but ultimately, we
had to meet the minimum in working with the planning staff.
Mr. Inman: How many parking spaces are there?
Mr. Peterson: I don't remember the number.
Ms. Murphy: I believe, it's 390. Let's see 390 spaces, actually 391 spaces, 358 for the
multifamily, and then you've got 32 spaces for the commercial building.
Mr. Inman: How many for the residential?
8
Ms. Murphy: 358 for the multifamily part of it.
Mr. Inman: Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you. Oh I am sorry.
Mr. Wall: So this is kind of a general question. But so the reference guidelines and reference
documents from the Comprehensive Plan, I think you analysed these referenced
Comprehensive Plan shows the Shore Drive Corridor Plan, which are both fairly
dated in early 2000s, even late 1990s, I think is from the ULI. They were approved
and included and they included even the Pleasure House Point Park, as you know,
fairly large developments. Did you all review those? And, you know, in terms of
when you were, you know, doing your research? It's kind of an open questions,
but I'm just curious what your review, because it's,those are dated.You mentioned
the apartments aren't from the late 1990s. It even says apartments aren't, weren't
even viable. They mentioned the Marina Shores as being viable. But I guess the
market conditions have changed to the point that apartments are now. I mean,
clearly, there are other apartment complexes on Shore Drive, but.
Ms. Murphy: Yeah, and I can tell you just from having represented them, the other project at
Marina Shores, The Pearl, they're actually getting rents in excess of what they've
projected in their early pro-formas. Because there's so much demand in the
corridor. So you've got not only do you have younger people that we're trying to
attract as part of our workforce to the city, but you also have older folks who want
to stay in the corridor, you know, sell their home and they can stay in an apartment
and be around their grandkids and go to the same restaurants that they always go
to. So, you know, in the 20-25 years since the plan was done, you've seen a
tremendous increase in the need for multifamily, high quality multifamily, but you've
also seen a real decrease in the need for retail. If you look up and down that
corridor there are empty strip centers, you've got vape shops, you know, local
breweries here and there, but there's a real struggle now for retail. And so one of
the things that the applicants did was they really studied, okay - what's going to
be successful here? What can the market support and that retail piece of it no
matter how they looked at it, no matter where they looked? There really is not a
big demand because you don't have although it seems like a big population, a lot
of areas that you're covering is water. So there are fewer people that you would
think within the projected area.
Mr. Graham: Mr. Wall, you done? I was going to kind of follow up on that if I could. I drive by this
every day and there's a lot of—there's two bank buildings, former bank buildings
that are vacant. One of them has about three foot high grass out front. There is a
— there's a tobacco shop. I think there's maybe two or three vape shops,
laundromat, I mean there. The Shore Drive area and Great Neck area and I live in
the area, I think is one of the best places to live in Virginia Beach. We have had a
9
revolving door of restaurants and retail and I would love to see some of the stuff
that's along Shore Drive go away. But that's a whole another subject.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Right, we will get back to you, thank you. Madam clerk.
Madam Clerk: Okay. First speaker, is Danny Murphy here? Okay, Danny Murphy, followed by
Cole Trower.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record.
Mr. Murphy: Danny Murphy. President of Ocean Park Civic League.
Mr. Weiner: Sir, can you move here and handed it over to the clerk and she'll take care of that.
So you can start speaking.
Mr. Murphy: Thank you. Again, my name is Danny Murphy; I am the president of the Ocean
Park Civic League. And first of all, I'd like to thank you all. I've been kind of stalking
you over the last couple of months, watching what you do. And I know that you are
very considerate and thoughtful. I've spoken to a number of you. I've spoken to a
number of the city staff, and you're all very professional, I appreciate that. I'd also
like to take the opportunity to thank the developers and the owners of the property.
We need to remain friends after this no matter what. I know, there's a lot of stiff
opposition to it. But I really do think that this isn't the only thing going on. I'd like to
apologize to them also for the graffiti that was placed on their banner, we do not
condone that. We should operate in a civil manner. So I hope you will take my
sincere apology for that. I don't know who did it. And if I did, I would certainly have
words with them. So you kind of got me off, because I thought we were doing two
different ones here. It's the street closure. Okay. Well, first of all, I'd like to tell you
that we do oppose it, we have met with them a number of times, twice, you know,
we kind of did the little dance or the poker game where they came in with 227 the
first, you know, 27, broke it down to 197. And since then, there really have not
been any negotiations whatsoever. I will say there was some discussions about
other properties within the community. But there was no serious discussion on the
number of units. Our biggest issue is density. Everything is a waterfall from density,
all the issues that we have with traffic, with parking, with the environmental impact
comes from the density of this, this unit or the project that they're trying to do. I'll
start off first telling you a little bit about the density. The plan says that there is
31.77 units on that lot there. That is because we're using the boat sales lot to call
that a zoning lot. They've taken the straight away, they're going to put an alley
there so they can get through the mixed use or they can get to the zoning lot with
only a 20 foot alleyway in between, they can then use the 6.2 acres, as the
calculation for the density is effectively over 40 units per acre. And that's
significant. The other thing is they're using mixed use being business. We just
heard that retail is not being used very often on Shore Drive, if there's not much of
10
a need for there.Yet,they're telling us well,we're going to put this boat sales,we're
going to have retail commercial there. But we already know it doesn't work. So
what's going to happen in 5 or 10 years, they're going to proffer that they're not
going to develop it. We know how proffers work. We've seen it at Marina Shores
with tennis courts there, come back in a couple of years and say, Hey, you know,
there's a 40 per unit building here. Let's put 25 or 30 per unit on this other one. The
biggest problem with that is a zoning lot is that it's not true mixed use in terms of
what the city had designed, It is strictly or not strictly, it is supposed to be used for
more urban settings, such as Town Center, strategic growth areas, and not in the
strategic focus areas of residential. The biggest issue they have with that right now
is that if you look at the— if you look at the definition of mixed use, it says two or
more separate uses allowed as a principle or conditional use, that are physically
and functionally integrated. So we've got an existing boat sales, we're going to
take, we're going to say, hey, let's lock it all together and call it a zoning lot, it's not
integrated. It actually is only using 2000 square feet for anything other than the
boat sales and to boot,they don't have the parking requirements for that 32 spaces
for 12,000 square feet is nowhere near enough.They're fine on the apartment side,
but they're not talking about that and the Comprehensive Plan points that out. The
other problem is that zoning or mixed use says it must be within the same structure.
That is clearly two structures.There's going to be the apartment complex, and then
there's going to be the retail and it straddles that, and if you look at the definition,
clearly not within that. The other issues that I have with it, obviously the guidelines
when we talk about that, it does not meet the intent to develop mixed use as a
principle tool for redevelopment as a preferred land use pattern in the strategic
growth areas. Shore Drive is not a strategic growth area. As I mentioned, the
proffers, talked a little bit about density in the packet that I gave out to you there.
We know that the Comprehensive Plan says that the infill should be compatible
with the density and preserving and protecting the character of established
neighborhoods and achieving the lowest reasonable density for future residential
uses. As you can clearly see, as I said, effectively that's 40 units per acre they're
putting there. If you take it, and you look at and say, what are they actually
developing, they are not developing the boat sales, they're only developing the
one, the two lots actually PD-H1 and B-2 there. You'll notice that I pulled the open
data set of address points and I plotted those out individually and I also plotted the
197 units that they want to put on that four acres of land. You'll see that there are
roughly 1563 units in Ocean Park. I include Aries on the Bay, Pelican Dunes with
that because the primary egress and access is from Shady Oaks Drive. If you look
at the density of those other ones, the closest one is 50 units per acre, and that's
at the Chesapeake House that was built in 1975. That was even before we had a
Comprehensive Plan. If you look directly across the street, there's A-18 that was a
B2 project that was turned similarly into apartments, A-18 those condos, the
density is significantly lower on those, it's only 12 per acre. If you look at the other
B-4 properties within that area, the Villas at Ocean Park, Vintage Point,
Townhomes at Roanoke, Pendleton, Bar Harbor condos, Bay Vista. They're all
11
below that 31 point and significantly, as you get closer to Pleasure House Point in
the green zone. Yes, it is in the mixed use of the Shore Drive area, but it's on the
border of the green zone, meaning Marlin Bay is the dividing line. It sits on the very
edge right next to the pristine 118 acres of Pleasure House Point. Yes, it's
reclaimed natural area, but it gets significant traffic. Let's see, I think the biggest
concern is what it's going to do for the neighborhood, to be honest. I look at what
they're trying to do. I'm not insensitive to the building costs, I understand putting
the garage and the retention vaults and everything costs money. And I know that,
you know, currently, we're certainly experiencing a lack of affordable housing. I
think we would have to go far to stretch that this is may not be affordable housing.
It's called luxury apartments for a reason. Not that I'm not going to say it's not going
to have any impact. But I believe the impact putting 200 units on four acres within
a historic Bayfront community is certainly going to have a huge impact. It's going
to have cascading effects. I expect my other colleagues will talk somewhat about
that, walk you through the individual points. But at this point, I'd like to know who
has the first question.
Mr. Weiner: Questions. Yes, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: First off, I appreciate your call. I'm one of those guys that you had a good
conversation with. And the other thing I want to say is I appreciate your apology. I
was appalled frankly at the vandalism on this site. Vandalism has no part, not only
in any public policy debate, doesn't have any part in the city at all. So it's property
crime. So and you're the first person who's ever — I've heard express that. So I
think that was important. And I appreciate that. You did a good job.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you, sir. Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: So would you be opposed if they — I'm not saying this is anything that we would
recommend but, I mean, let's say the apartments just, any apartments there would
you be opposed?
Mr. Murphy: Oh, I'm not opposed to apartments whatsoever. We don't care. I mean, you could
put condos there, 200 condos that have the same effect. I believe that we do need
apartments within the city. It's not the apartments I oppose, or you know, I think we
oppose. We're looking for, you know, I think what they presented is the maximum
use for that property with 200 units. What I asked —what I think it's incumbent on
you is to find the optimal use and that's taken into the factors in account of what
the density is and looking at the neighborhood. So it isn't the apartments we
oppose.
Mr. Wall: So how many people are part of the Civic League?
12
Mr. Murphy: We have about 300 members, but there's contained family members as well. So
it's more and then I've represent roughly 1400 of those are in Ocean Park. As I
said, Pelican Dunes and Aries on the Bay have separate home ownerships and
Baylake Pines is separate as well.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so this, this map represents Ocean Park.
Mr. Murphy: And Aries and Pelican Dunes, because they use the Shady Oaks Drive that comes
up to the Marlin Bay intersection. So that's their main point of egress and ingress.
Mr. Wall: Where is Pelican Dunes?
Mr. Murphy: It would be on the top left for you. And is the green one, so the top left there put
up.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so that's the Dunes up there.
Mr. Murphy: Yeah, that's way too. So it'll be at the end of Shady Oaks.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Murphy: But they use that same entrance where the light is.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you, sir.
Mr. Murphy: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Our next speaker is Cole Trower and is Teesh Frazier here, okay, following Mr.
Trower will be Cheryl McCluskey.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon, sir.
Mr. Trower: Good afternoon. It's a great day to be in the greatest city in Virginia in the entire
country of Virginia Beach. My name is Cole Trower, I am a homeowner. At the age
of 29, I bought my own home on the very street that he said that everybody is going
to drive to and go to the beach, 3970 Aires Way; I have 10 years in the restaurant
industry having experience as a waiter or bartender, even washing dishes. You
know, it's not a glorious job. But you've got a lot of restaurants and folks on Shore
Drive, that that's how they make their living. And I think a lot of my neighbors here;
I might have served them an Orange Crush or Crab Dip once or twice. I also have
10 years of experience working — not 10 years of experience working for the City
of Virginia Beach, one year of experience working for the City of Virginia Beach
13
briefly in economic development. And during my time for economic development,
I focused on business retention and acquisition. And the City of Virginia Beach tax
dollars, millions of dollars each year go towards business retention and acquisition.
That's what makes our City great. We have great businesses, and people enjoy
working here. One of the pillars of having economic development being so strong
and when you are pitching these companies for the city is we sell them on our
quality of life, and that we have places for their workers to live. And right now,
young people in this city cannot find a place to live. I just got a text five days ago.
Hey buddy, how's it going? I just moved back and I'm looking for a place near
Chicks on Shore Drive. Do you know anywhere? I don't know anywhere. No one
knows anywhere. We have all of these young people that go off to college. And
then we say why don't they return? It's because number one, they don't have a
place to live, that's affordable, that safe and nice. And I live and own a home, my
girlfriend owns a home on the same street. And I am a member of the Aries on the
Bay Civic League. And I was briefly the parliamentarian of the Ocean Park Civic
League for a month or two wasn't a great job, trust me. So I will tell you this, it is
not unanimous that this that are my neighbors don't want this development. You
know, I think sometimes we get caught up in details and details are important. But
I think sometimes we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here.
Our city is growing. And that's a good thing. We have people that want to live here
and work here. We must make a plan for those people to thrive in our city.
Because, you know, it is our future and that's the decisions made here today will
impact not only our residents, our businesses, and then also you know just
everything how we conduct our daily life. And I would just encourage
Commissioner Wiener's comments as I run out of time. I have been slandered,
attacked and just vilified on Facebook and Next Door by some people sitting
behind me that have just trashed anyone that would stand up just to say, Hey, I
think this might be a good idea. And I think if that wouldn't have happened, some
of my neighbors might be here today saying the same thing. I appreciate your time,
your public service. And I hope that we have a good lengthy debate today on the
issues and stay away from vitriolic attacks like we've seen on Facebook.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions? Thank you sir.
Madam Clerk: Cheryl McCleskey followed by John Pharr.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. McCleskey: Good afternoon Mr. Chairman, Vice Chairman and members of the Planning
Commission. For the record, my name is Cheryl McCleskey. Thank you for your
service to the community and helping make Virginia Beach a well planned
community. The McCleskey and the Browning families have owned property and
Ocean Park neighborhood for over 50 years. The McCleskey family has allowed
the public to benefit from the vacant open space during our ownership, including
14
the land that is now Pleasure House Point. My dream has been to fulfil my late
husband's vision by developing quality, reasonably priced multifamily residential
units that will allow new families to become part of this beautiful Bayfront
neighborhood. We have teamed up with the Terry Peterson Residential, a family
company with a stellar reputation and long term commitment to the community.
John Peterson and Tuck Bowie are known for building high quality multifamily
rental housing. We have also selected the well-respected Timmons Group to
provide excellent project engineering and Cox Cleaver to provide design quality.
Together we will create an engaging community of coastal living along Shore
Drive. During this planning phase of the project, we have listened to the concerns
of the neighbors and government officials and that is why we reduce the density
from 227 to 197. The current zoning allows us to develop a full scale commercial
and retail business without any further permission from the city government.
However, we think the highest and best use of our land, our company and our
community is to build multifamily housing. As you know, the housing stock in
Virginia Beach is down significantly from last year for both single and multifamily
housing. This development will provide reasonably priced apartment rental
properties that are needed for the citizens. The city's economic impact report
shows that this rezoning will have a $3.78 million net positive impact over 20 years
for the city, very rare for this kind of development project. The traffic impact study
demonstrates that there is a reduction in traffic from uses allowed under the current
zoning. The combined average daily trips for our current business zoning is
estimated to be 2074. However, if we build 197 multifamily units, the number of
average daily trips will be an estimated 1448, which is 30% less than the use is
allowed under the current zoning. We have also exceeded the requirements for
the number of parking spaces for residents to prevent parking on neighborhood
streets. Parking will be shielded from the street. The school's impact study shows
our project will have minimal amount on schools.
Mr. Weiner: Thanks you're your comments, any questions for Ms. McCleskey.
Ms. McCleskey: I just want to say based on all these comments along with Planning Staff
recommendations for approval on behalf of my company and our trustworthy
building partners we ask you to approve our application. Thank you so much.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. McCleskey: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: John Pharr followed by Andrina Fisher.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome, sir.
15
Mr. Pharr: Good afternoon. All right. Thank you for giving me a couple of minutes to speak
today. My name is John Pharr, and my family lives at 2105 Woodlawn Avenue.
We've been there 11 years and can't imagine being anywhere else. The
appearance, character, and longtime residents are some of the many reasons why
we love Ocean Park. We value our privacy but welcome many to our Bayfront
community. It's an excellent flow that is currently manageable. Change is inevitable
in life. Many of us are asking for change that is reasonable and considerate of our
beloved Ocean Park. The current Marlin Bay proposal is too aggressive and too
dense for many residents. Multi story housing complex is the exact opposite of our
single family homes. I believe many of us are asking to be heard. And frankly,just
want to find somewhere to meet in the middle. Thanks for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Andrina Fisher followed by Mike Wills.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Fisher: My name is Andrina Fisher, my husband and I own the townhouse at 3836 Ocean
Tides Drive. When we purchased the townhouse a little over three years ago, we
thought that the lot behind our home would not remain empty forever. We thought
eventually the boat dealership would expand or perhaps some additional
townhouses or duplexes would be built. Never could we have imagined that
someone would have the idea to build a four story nearly 200 unit apartment
complex right in our backyard. If you look at the plat map, our townhouse is the
last end unit on the left side of Ocean Tides Drive. I've stated in my previous letters
to all of you that our home would arguably be one of the most negatively impacted,
should this project be allowed to move forward. The apartment complex could
potentially reach heights of 50 feet or more. The developer plans to build a street
directly behind our fence where no street currently exists, and trash facilities would
be built close by. They also plan to close the cross over to Ocean Tides Drive.
What does all of this mean for us and our neighbors? It means that we would no
longer enjoy any privacy in our backyard. It means the apartment building due to
its towering height will likely block most of the early to late afternoon sunlight that
we currently enjoy. It means constant traffic noise from apartment residents,
visitors and service vehicles entering and exiting the complex. It means light
pollution at night and noise pollution all hours of day and night. We can currently
access our street by turning left off of Marlin Bay Drive. But once the project is
complete, we'll have to drive up the road and make a U-turn to get to our house. I
don't consider that a small inconvenience. I also fear the value of our home will be
negatively impacted if this development is approved.We don't want to sell,we love
the charming character of the neighborhood. But the apartment complex would
destroy the character of Ocean Park. I assume that many of you live in single family
homes. And I'd ask each of you to imagine how you would appreciate a project of
16
this size being built right behind your backyard. I've noticed that those speaking in
favor of it don't live directly next to it like our home is. Can you honestly say that
this wouldn't negatively impact your quality of life or the value of your home? I'd
ask you if your role in the planning commission is primarily to further the interests
of developers or are you also here to protect the interests of the residents that
would be negatively impacted by a development of this size? I hope the latter is
also true.We aren't against appropriate development. But the proposed Marlin Bay
apartment complex does not fit in the existing footprint. Hundreds of residents have
reached out to you and asked you not to approve this project. Please listen to them
and to us and vote no, thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?
Ms. Oliver: Do you mind using the pointer and pointing right where your house is placed?
Ms. Fisher: Okay, I haven't used one of these before.
Ms. Oliver: It doesn't work very well. I don't think.
Ms. Fisher: Which button? I've got it backwards. Oops, I must have forwarded, sorry. I don't
see a red button. Hang on. Okay, get the slide back and I found the red button.We
are right here. So the shadow from the 15 foot tree line that they spoke about is
ironically longer than the shadow from the building which could be 50 feet. So you
can imagine that the shadow actually that would be cast by this building on our
property is going to take all the sunlight.
Ms. Oliver: So explain to me just because I don't—why you have to make a U-turn?
Ms. Fisher: Because currently when you come from Marlin Bay along here, you can turn left in
the Ocean Tides Drive. There's a little median strip, median strip. But the plan is
to close off this median strip to create an access into the street that goes to the
apartment complex. At least it was at the first plan that I saw. So right now it's an
empty lot and I understand, you know, an empty lot won't remain empty forever.
But you see they're building — they're planting trees directly on our fence line.
Where currently there aren't any trees and there'll be 15 feet high. That's closing
this in my opinion. And then you have the residents here and the four stories which
I imagine they're gonna have to build up,you know, about seven to eight feet above
the current elevation and then build on top of that four stories. So we'll have people
that live here and here, looking directly into our backyards and into our windows.
Ms. Oliver: I would imagine that's why the trees are there.
Ms. Fisher: Trees are only 15 feet high. The building could be close to 50-55 feet high.
17
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Fisher: Any other questions?
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. Fisher: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Mike Wills, followed by Carley Swift.
Mr. Wills: Good afternoon Commissioner, Planning Commission members. My name is Mike
Wills and I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you today about this application.
I moved into Ocean Park back in 2000 and into a duplex condo. So I've been in
there over 20 years, love the neighborhood, but we have seen a lot of changes,
and it's getting more and more dense and nowadays, it's summer weekend, you
can barely drive your car down the road, you know, with cars parked on both sides
of it. So it's changed a lot. And, you know, and there are many reasons why, you
know, we're opposed to this. I'm personally opposed to it, you know, number one
you've heard is the density, I just don't feel that it's compatible with the existing
neighborhood, and not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan in the Shore
Drive Corridor District. And by all means, I'm not against growth and
redevelopment, I really feel like this property is prime for redevelopment, but it
needs to be done within the existing zoning rules of the property and does not
warrant the change. I owned a heating air conditioning electrical contracting
business does a lot of new construction. Like I said, I'm all for growth and smart
development. But it needs to be at the right and the right place, and not at the
detriment of the existing property owners that have lived there for a long time and
made Ocean Park their home under the current zoning regulations of this property
as well as their own. So it needs to be developed within the existing densities of
the surrounding community. And just to give you a couple of examples, you know,
talk is cheap, but I want to give you a couple examples of where I personally and
as well as the community put our money where our mouth is. Back in 2004, I was
lucky enough to find another property in Ocean Park, a duplex, basically a duplex
rental property that built in the 50s. And I decided to tear it down and build a single
family home. And that's where I reside today, you know, of course, I could have
put another duplex on it and made quite a bit of money. But I didn't think that was
the right thing to do. We didn't need more density in Ocean Park. Then as an
executive member of the Ocean Park Civic League, which I served on for many
years, back in 2006-2007, we sold the old Fire and Rescue building and property
that we owned in Ocean Park and again zoned R-5R we could have sold it you
know to a developer let him put in a duplex on it. But we decided to put a deed
restriction on it that could only be redeveloped as a single family residence. And
so thus,we took a much lower value for the property than we could have otherwise
received. So I asked you to please don't condone the smoke and mirrors, you
18
know, scheme to include property in this whole proposal that isn't even part of the
redevelopment and do not approve this application as proposed. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?
Mr. Inman: Yes. Can you tell me, didn't you mention that there are a lot of cars parking along
Marlin Bay Drive?
Mr. Wills: No, not necessary Marlin Bay, I live on the other side of Shore Drive but like along
Powhatan, where I come in and out of my section of neighborhood. There are cars
every weekend parked on both sides; you can barely get your one car down the
middle of the street. It's gotten really bad.
Mr. Bradley: Does that relate to this development?
Mr. Wills: Well, I just think, you know,with all these apartments, you're gonna have lots more
visitors to the area. Obviously the people that live there are going to have visitors
and they're just gonna, they're gonna be inviting people to come to the beach,
obviously and just to put a continuous strain on the parking that's available in
Ocean Park.
Mr. Inman: In what ways does the design or the proposal for this project not comply with the
Shore Drive Development Guidelines?
Mr. Wills: Well, it says it should be within the existing character of the surrounding
neighborhood, essentially and existing density which is far exceeds the existing
density. And it's not in character with the rest of the neighborhood. There are no
other apartment buildings in Ocean Park. It's all townhouses, duplex you know,
things of that nature, single family homes.
Mr. Inman: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you, sir.
Mr. Wills: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Carley Swift followed by Andrea Lindeman.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Swift: Good afternoon. Thank you for your time. Thank you for hearing our comments. I
would like to highlight a few points.
Mr. Weiner: State your name for the record.
19
Ms. Swift: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Carley Swift. I'm an Ocean Park resident and business owner for
31 years and oppose this project in its current plan. So I'd like to reiterate and
highlight a few points from Faith Christie's letter that you may have received on
September 1st, who, as you probably know, has been a previous worker for the
City Planning and also helped with the Shore Drive Corridor Plan and participated
in the BAC. We are not opposed to development for these properties. We would
like to see these properties developed with a project that complements the
surrounding residential areas. And as you have indicated in your previous report,
this area is identified as a suburban focus area in the Comprehensive Plan.A plan
that recommends low dense, low to medium residential density and development
of structures that are complimentary to surrounding uses.A proposed development
of a four and a half story building with 197 units contained within it is not low to
medium density, low to medium density is 12 to 18 units to the acre, which is
keeping of the existing densities in the area. The proposed height and bulk of the
building is not complimentary, or in keeping with the existing residential or
commercial uses in the area,and the height and size of the building will overwhelm
the existing residential uses.The proposed reduction of impervious areas indicated
in the report looks good on paper. But until the proposed improvements, including
stormwater management are made to this section of Shore Drive, there will be
increased problems with drainage and flooding.This section of Shore Drive, as I'm
sure you currently know, is currently under design review. And the project is
expected to begin possibly in 2024, maybe 26 or 27. The Shore Drive Corridor
Improvements Phase 3 were scheduled in 2019 and have not begun. So filling a
site to accomplish a seven foot elevation will cause adjacent properties to flood.
Thank you for your time, appreciate.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions?Thank you.
Ms. Swift: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Andrea Lindeman followed by Mark Faust.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Lindeman: Thank you. My name is Andrea Lindeman. And I live in Ocean Park. And I want
to be brief; I just want to make two points. Because you'll hear this the very same
points probably. It strikes me every time that I drive home down Shore Drive; I drive
by Marlin Bay Drive where Pleasure House Point comes all the way to Shore Drive.
And it strikes me the sheer length and mass of this proposed building. And then I
learned something from Mr. Dao's report, it gets worse. The buildings will in fact
be taller than four and four and a half stories. In order to construct the stormwater
detention system, the site will need to be filled in to an elevation of seven or eight
feet above sea level. And so the measuring of four or four and a half stories, will
20
start from that elevated level. This is again,just a demonstration of the massing of
the building,which goes against the Shore Drive design guidelines.The other thing
I would like to say so this building will dwarf its surroundings. And so what are
these surroundings? This location is not a blank slate; it's in the middle of Ocean
Park. And I feel like the staff report that we read kind of glosses over giving this
figure of 31.77 density. This is a huge increase over other recent projects. And so
I went back and I looked at some of the staff reports for two recent projects that
were okayed for Shore Drive. And they use the language of the Comprehensive
Plan,talking about infill development,that infill development should be at a density
that's compatible with the surrounding area. So at 3746, 3744 Shore Drive came
in at 14 units per acre, 3739 Shore Drive came in at 17.4 per acre. And the staff
reports use the language in the Comprehensive Plan about to justify the approval
saying that this had to be compatible with the surrounding area. So I just want to
say that we chose Ocean Park because it had atmosphere, history and personality.
And I think that this has value not only to the neighborhood, but it has value to
Virginia Beach City, to preserve this kind of neighborhood. It's blinking. So I hope
you will listen to the language of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you very much ma'am. Thank you for your comments, any questions?
Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Mark Faust, followed by Debbie Cohen.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon, sir.
Mr. Faust: Good afternoon. Thank you for your time ladies and gentlemen of the Planning
Commission. I'm Mark Faust. I've been a resident of Ocean Park for over 30 years
during this time has grown as a vibrant neighborhood with wonderful blend of
families and individuals. This proximity the natural area, the beach, local
businesses, as well as being in a great school district make it a very desirable
place to live. I'm strongly opposed to the proposal. I'm strongly opposed to the
Marlin Bay apartment development. I'm concerned with the sheer volume of people
in autos that will impact the neighborhood adversely. The traffic on Shore Drive at
the proposed area is already overwhelming, including recent fatalities of drivers
and pedestrians. Right on the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay, a pedestrian
was hit not long ago.As part of the Civic League that assists the Adopt-A-Spot that
cares for Pleasure House Point, I've seen the impact of the increased use has in
this fragile environment. Lots of trash, had fences and the disturbance of wildlife.
Along the street there on Pleasure House Point side, it's only parking till, you can't
park after dark. So everyone is supposed, if there's overflow of parking,they're not
allowed to be there after dark, it is all going to be on this side of the street maybe,
that's another concern. It's a wonderful place for people with families just starting
out and growing, retirees and pretty much everybody in between. In my opinion, a
high density project with almost 200 rental units will undoubtedly tip the balance of
21
the neighborhood in a negative and permanent way. And I urge you to say no to
this project. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Debbie Cohen, followed by Todd Goforth.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Cohen: My name is Debbie Cohen. And my husband and I live on Pendleton Avenue near
Marlin Bay and Shore Drive. I've never been at a meeting like this, so little nervous.
But I wanted to speak because I'm very concerned about what the proposed
development will do to my neighborhood. My husband and I moved here a few
years ago and we decided we wanted to live off a Shore Drive. We just fell in love
with the area.We're really happy living here. We'd love walking at Pleasure House
Point and in our neighborhood and going across Shore Drive to go to the Bay. It's
like perfect location. But urn, main thing, I mean, I support what the others have
said the Ocean Park Civic League and the other speakers have said in opposition
to the project. But my main concern is definitely like there's a lot of, there's a lot of
units proposed in this apartment complex. And seems like a very high density
compared to what I've seen in the surrounding areas. And also, recent
development I've seen on Pendleton Avenue and in my area has all been three
story townhomes and much, much lower density. I'm very concerned about having
so many additional units coming into that small property. The other thing is I'm
looking at the Bay Area Advisory Committee, which I think understands and
supports our special Shore Drive community, they voted in opposition to the
project. They indicated that there needs to be a reduction in the height considering
the two story townhouses adjacent on Ocean Tides Drive and also saying the
project is not congruent with the existing Shore Drive corridor guidelines and
Comprehensive Plan and therefore they recommended denial of the application.
So you know, as others has said, I'm not against development of the property. I
just hope that whatever development it will preserve and protect our community,
our neighborhood community. I appreciate your time and consideration. I know a
lot of people are talking and sending emails letters, and I appreciate that you
consider them all.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, ma'am. Any questions? Thank you.
Ms. Cohen: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Todd Goforth, followed by Todd Solomon.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
22
Mr. Goforth: Good afternoon. My name is Todd Goforth. I live at 3850 Ocean Tides Drive. My
wife and I own a townhome there.And this development would back up right to our
property line. Therefore, vehemently oppose the development. I've lived in the
neighborhood for over 15 years. And just to flush out what everybody's been
saying, there are so many people in our neighborhood that have been there for a
decade or longer. We're very tight knit community. Most people don't know we
don't have an HOA, Homeowners Association. We police ourselves and take care
of what we have. And if you look at the field that they're talking about, there's no
trash dumpster, no you know, broken down cars or anything. Our neighborhood
does a really good job of taking care of itself and policing itself. I live at the end of
Ocean Tides. That is by Pleasure House Point. And that takes me back to when
Pleasure House Point was under question from another developer Fineman. The
Sandlers came and made a great presentation, was an elegant speaker, great
presentation. But the big elephant in the room has always been density, density. I
don't care how great your presentation is, who you are, how much money you
have? Its density that is the problem. Now to put a personal thing out if you live in
our neighborhood long enough, you know about the young woman that died
crossing the intersection there, it's Shore Drive and Marlin Bay, you know about
people have been hurt. Now, as I look at this, the crosswalks, if people are gonna
go to the beach or going to go straight across, they don't typically go down to the
crosswalks. On a Saturday, traffic is tremendous on Shore Drive, people going to
the beach. And the other thing that Mark Faust brought up, he's my neighbor
across the street. If you look at Marlin Bay Drive, Pleasure House Point, what a
fantastic thing that the city did along with other people. During the day, you can
park on Marlin Bay Drive and access Pleasure House Point. But after dark, you
have to move your vehicles, there's not supposed to be anybody in Pleasure
House Point after dark. Therefore, it's an excellent opportunity if you live in those
apartments, you come home, you can't find a parking spot where you gonna go,
you know, the cars are leaving after dark especially in the winter, there will be cars
lined up and down there. I see it on the weekends, there's cars lined up and down
there already on the weekends, doing what we hoped they would do accessing
Pleasure House Point. And the last thing I want to say, the beach. We all live
around here. We love the beach. The density at the beach has got tremendous
because we had no sand replenishment. What's that have to do with? Well, you
have so many people where we can't watch kids anymore. It used to be there's
just one person you had an open view, now that you're so crowded, you can't see
the little kids anymore. And I would hate for that to be the straw that breaks the
camel's back when some kid, we can't find them, or they get injured because
there's so many people in that beach. And who knows when we're getting sand
replenishment with COVID going on. So that's all I have to say.
Mr. Weiner: Thanks you sir, any questions?
23
Ms. Oliver: Yes, sir, and I just want to ask a question, because you're the second gentleman
to mention the parking along Marlin Bay Drive in the dark and stuff, I'm trying to
figure out what that has to do with the actual apartment complex because they
have their own parking garage. So these people that live in the apartment building
are obviously going to utilize the garage. So I'm just trying to, I'm trying to figure
out.
Mr. Goforth: You are correct. In a perfect world, they have planned to the hilt. And anybody that
comes to visit or lives there has his parking spot in the garage or that I'm just saying
typically weekends everybody that you know when you move to the beach wants
to come visit you, holidays,wants to come visit you. All of a sudden you got friends
that you never knew you had and if you don't have a place to park and you see all
this open spot, you know you're naturally going to park there.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Goforth: So that's my comment and it already happens now for people that come in our
neighborhood can't find a spot park on there after dark.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Todd Solomon, followed by Windy Crutchfield.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Solomon: Good afternoon. My name is Todd. Hope you don't mind, I'm gonna keep my mask
on. I was with 68,000 crazy Hokie fans this past weekend, so for your benefit, right,
I don't want to get you if I am, so I'm not gonna pass it on. My name is Todd
Solomon. I live off of Shore Drive. I'm representing the Shore Drive Community
Coalition. I'm here to ask for your opposition of this project. At our May 24th
meeting, the Shore Drive Community Coalition voted to oppose this development
as it stands, again not opposed to development per se, but the density of this
development. I've been up here many, many times talking about density on Shore
Drive. So this isn't something new that you're going to be hearing about. However,
some of the items are specific of the reasons behind the decision points of this one
that are different than others. You did hear Ocean Park Civic League did vote to
oppose this. The Bayfront Advisory Commission also voted to oppose this
development. In the ULI study, which was 1997 study that kicked off all the Shore
Drive Corridor plans, which you all know about, it does state specifically in there
that the communities of Ocean Park and Chicks Beach, where zoning allows a
transition from single family to duplex or higher density units, attention should be
paid to the results of this intensification. The density of new developments in this
area should not overwhelm these two communities, which have made fine homes
and neighborhoods for their residents. Again, density, overwhelming, these
24
questions, these words, are used throughout. Staff has shown you on the
properties all adjacent to this. If you've noticed they all were B-2s at one time
rezoned, removal of commercial property to add higher density developments. All
the B-2s along Shore Drive are going away. I understand it's mentioned in here
about over commercial, don't over commercialize Shore Drive, I don't think they
really meant remove all commercial property and make it all residential. I may have
missed that in that discussion. Again per staff, the Comprehensive Plan
recommends and you heard it before, future residential uses should strive to
achieve the lowest reasonable density to be compatible with existing residential
densities. There's no way that this is compatible with the adjacent densities. The
largest density right across the street north of Shore Drive, A-18. And the last one
I found most interesting, the City Code states for apartment zoning, that it is not
the intention to create additional A-24 or A-36 districts. This is an A-24, actually is
31 and a half, something like that. But anyways, if you follow your apartment district
code, you shouldn't go above A-18,which is similar to the zoning across the street.
So worst case, knock it down to A-18, reduce the densities, sounds like everybody
else would be happy with that, reduce the size. If you want to see a structure that's
going to be very similar to this, Pine Well Station up on East Ocean View. Look at
that, that's 145 units. Massiveness of that does not fit that neighborhood.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, any questions? Okay. Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Windy Crutchfield, followed by Amanda Logsdon.
Ms. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Crutchfield: Thank you. My name is Windy Crutchfield. And I wanted to say thank you for the
opportunity to share my observations and raise my concerns for this project. I have
owned a townhouse adjacent to the property since 1992. It's on Ocean Tides Drive.
And I wanted to refer to the Comprehensive Plan in my remarks, it's specified in
the plans that the council should or the city should advance the interests of the
larger community rather than simply responding to the needs of individual property
owners. And you can see that the neighborhood has been very unified in their
objection to the current proposal. Being that I've had the house across the—town
house across the street since 92. I do know that there is a dog park that's there.
It's been used by the Mariners Landing neighborhood, it's maintained as a previous
speaker was saying, we are very good about maintaining our properties around
here. We take care of it, mow it, trim the trees, supply dog waste bags and take
the trash to the street weekly. Neighbors used it to bring their dogs out for a stretch
when they get home from work. And also neighbors use this path as a crosswalk
to or path to the beach. So they actually can see where they would go right through
the paper street of Ocean Tides to Shore Drive and then use the crosswalk. So by
eliminating that, you are actually taking a public use and changing it to strictly
private use. The Comprehensive Plan says that the city should preserve or further
25
enhance the existing residential areas and amenities and Marlin Bay apartments
does exactly the opposite. Being a witness to several storm events, there is
actually no flooding or drainage issues there. The developer continued to say that
the area is 100% impervious. But that is not true and I submitted pictures that show
how much green space is there and there's never been a flooding problem there.
Also that the development will more than double the density of any parcel in Ocean
Park, we've got the expansion of Windsong Apartments, Westminster Canterbury,
Point Overture isn't at full capacity yet. So we have all of that to add to the problems
with traffic on Shore Drive. So I just wanted to wrap it up by saying it's, this is a
stark contrast with the City of Virginia Beach's Comprehensive Plan, and the City's
goal should be to protect the vitality of this area.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments, any questions? Thank you.
Ms. Crutchfield: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Amanda Logsdon, followed by Matt Thompson.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Logsdon: Thank you. As an Ocean Park resident and former real estate developer.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, can you state your name for the record, please?
Ms. Logsdon: I will. For the record, my name is Amanda Logsdon. As an Ocean Part resident
and a former real estate developer, I think I can offer a unique perspective to the
Planning Commission. And I appreciate your time this afternoon. I was born and
raised in Virginia Beach and grew up as a devoted resident in service to the
community. After graduating from high school and university over 20 years ago, I
moved to Northern Virginia to pursue a career in commercial real estate as both a
construction and development manager. I have built over 2.5 million square feet of
mixed use real estate, studied planning and place making with the Urban Land
Institute, and most recently developed and operated a luxury apartment and mixed
use building in Arlington, Virginia with 591 apartment units that both complements
and supports the surrounding neighborhood. Last year, I moved to Virginia Beach
and currently work as a general contractor in the federal space, both at Norfolk
Naval and at Little Creek. In April of this year, I purchased a single family home at
the corner of Powhatan Avenue and West Stratford; thereby both working and
living along the Shore Drive corridor. I believe in smart,strategic,sustainable urban
growth. But as currently designed, I cannot support the Marlin Bay development
for the following three reasons, parking, egress and storm infrastructure. Parking,
currently planned density and parking ratio are not sufficient to support the future
apartment residents and their guests. The Three Ships development across the
street at a much lower density cannot support the current residents and already
26
overflow onto West Stratford and the surrounding streets. Coupled with public
visitors and to the Bay and the Brock Center, the neighborhoods on both sides of
Shore Drive will not be able to withstand the added cars from Marlin Bay. This will
create more pedestrian safety issues within the neighborhoods and across an
already dangerous Shore Drive much like the issues at Marina Shores and Great
Neck Road. Egress,the proposed Ocean Tides Drive as egress for the apartments
in addition to the Marlin Bay Drive. This intersection is already dangerous and
without a streetlight and crosswalks will add to the congestion and danger at Shore
Drive. Egress should be limited to entering only at Marlin Bay Drive, or a streetlight
should be added. My home for storm infrastructure is one of the original houses to
Ocean Park and sits at the lowest elevation in relation to the new development at
West Stratford. I think that stormwater tension vaults at Marlin Bay should be
increased to support the community's need. In summary, I think that the proposed
density is not commensurate with the real residential area, at this portion of Shore
Drive. And while I don't oppose multifamily mixed use development, I would ask
that the Planning Commission and the stakeholders continue to work with the
neighborhoods on these concerns to create a successful project.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments. Any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Matt Thompson.
Mr. Weiner: Welcome.
Mr. Thompson: Good afternoon. Thank you for your time. As for the record, I'm Matt Thompson.
I raised my family in Ocean Park with my two daughters and one is a Hokie and
one is a Duke now. I can just tell you since 2014, when I moved to Ocean Park, it
doesn't resemble the same neighborhood. It's disheartening to see the number
one the traffic that resembles more like Northern Virginia than Virginia Beach. And
that's not an inconvenience to me. I can choose where I live. But it's dangerous.
And you have seen as one of my neighbors pointed out very acutely, there's been
an uptick in accidents. And it's become very dangerous. In addition to that, the
development of these massive structures, and I would point to, and I'm not sure
the name of it, the one east of the Lesner Bridge, which, after the Lesner was
rebuilt, and put in there has blocked, it takes away from the aesthetic beauty of the
area. So it's a situation where we're trying to get our cake and eat it too. And so, I
also oppose this not because I oppose this property being developed, but because
I oppose it based on the way it is written and being presented. One, it does not
meet the definition of rezoning on a conditional permit. Nowhere in this proposal,
can I see any criteria that meets mixed use, and as my neighbors have pointed
out,the density.The density is a massive issue, and so to your question Ms. Oliver
about the Marlin Bay Drive, when everybody brings their friends over for Floatopia,
that's where they're going to park. And that's a problem for our neighborhood. So,
with that being said, we are certainly open, we understand that this is valuable
27
property, but we would like done in a responsible manner. So thank you for your
time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Any questions? Thank you, sir.
Madam Clerk: Are Scott or Gaynelle Ayres here, or Phil Rous?
Mr. Weiner: Please come up, sir. Please. And what was your name? I am sorry.
Mr. Ayres: My name is Scott Ayres. Yeah, I got an email reply. Good afternoon. My name is
Scott Ayres, and I've lived in Ocean Park for 35 years. First of all, I would like to
thank you for your service. Having volunteered to serve on the Bayfront Advisory
Commission for over 20 years, I understand the commitment you make to promote
the city's growth to benefit the residents and our future generations. A number of
years ago with the assistance of the Planning Department and the City Attorney's
Office and assisted, we assisted City Council in formulating a plan for the future
development of Shore Drive, as was one of the key recommendations of the City
funded ULI study. The Shore Drive Corridor Plan and its designed guidelines were
approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. The BAC was also
assisted with this process by their liaisons from the Planning Commission and City
Council. With their assistance, the plan and the guidelines were approved and
made part of the City Comprehensive Plan. With the plan that BAC and the
Planning Department now had a mechanism to guide the City's vision for the Shore
Drive Corridor and enforceable code to follow, not one to be bent to fit the
applicant's needs. Following the design guidelines meant consistent application of
the principles for growth within the most densely populated corridor in the city. It is
my opinion that the application you're acting on today is in noncompliance with the
in place ordinances that were designed to govern growth within the Shore Drive
Corridor, and specifically Ocean Park. With the exception of plan review by BAC,
there has been no attempt by the applicant to sit down with the Ocean Park
community and in good faith discuss what kind of project might benefit the
community and the applicant. The applicant's answer to density has been if we
don't get this many units to the project, it's not economically feasible. I asked the
question whose problem is that? Certainly not the residents of Ocean Park. Ocean
Park is not anti-growth or anti-development. The fact is the community looks
forward to the development of the property but not as presented today by the
applicant. Another fact is that directly across the street from the applicant's
property sits a mixed use property. It's the only mixed use property in Ocean Park
built and approved under the current guidelines. At first, it did not have the
community support. But with the input from the community, Planning staff and the
developer the design guidelines were followed. And the community supported the
project. The developer followed the Shore Drive guidelines for mixed use. Why
shouldn't today's applicant do the same? In my opinion, today's application under
the mixed use guideline is a ruse. Virginia Beach, although a very young city...
28
Mr. Weiner: Thank you for your comments, any questions?Thank you, sir.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Chair, I believe that's the last of the in person speakers. We have two WebEx
speakers remaining. Is there, what's your name?Oh, come on up. Sorry. I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Mr. Weiner: It's fine, no problem. Welcome, ma'am.
Ms. Ayres: Good afternoon. My name is Gaynelle Ayres. I've lived at 3780 Jefferson
Boulevard. As my parents did, as my grandparents did, so we've been there for
almost 100 years. Ocean Park in the 50s didn't have running water.We didn't have
city water. We did get, we had dirt streets, but no public services, fast forward to
2021. We now have city water, but an antiquated sewer and storm sewer system,
along with narrow streets, that during an emergency, fire trucks, ambulances have
a very difficult time getting by and that's on both sides of Shore Drive, not just on
the Bay side. The Bayfront Advisory Committee did a study in 2011 and found that
that corridor, Shore Drive Corridor had the highest residential real estate tax
assessment per acre in the city. Interestingly, the least public school students per
acre that's a big revenue winner for the city. Ocean Park plated in 1912 is one of
Virginia Beach's, historic neighborhoods, and one the city should be very proud of.
Ocean Park deserves better than the proposed Marlin Bay. On August 3rd 2021,
City Public Works issued an update on Phase Four of the Shore Drive
Improvement Project. The update states that the existing Ocean Park stormwater
system is inadequate. You can ask the project manager Bill Purcell, who says
Ocean Park needs major stormwater upgrades. The report states Phase Four will
start and maybe start in 2026 and be completed by 2029. Phase Three time
schedule, if Phase Three time schedule is any measure of accuracy, Ocean Park
will be lucky to see the completed improvements this decade. Without completion
of Phase Four, Ocean Park could be devastated by a storm like Ida that we just
had. I remember being carried out on an army dock during the Ash Wednesday
storm when our house fell in the water. I don't wish this on my family or anyone
else's. Marlin Bay would nearly double the number of Ocean Park residents on the
south side of Shore Drive and put unbearable strain on the existing Ocean Park
infrastructure. And that could easily accelerate the failure during a major storm.
This is something we all have to address. Consideration of the project at best
should be deferred until the project until Phase Four is complete and environmental
study is done.
Mr. Weiner: Ma'am, thank you for your comments. Appreciate it. Thank you. Any questions?
Ms. Klein: No, but I love your glasses. They look good.
Ms. Ayres: Oh thank you.
29
Madam Clerk: Is Phil Rous here, R-O-U-S? Okay Terry Browning.
Mr. Weiner: Good afternoon.
Mr. Browning: Good afternoon. My name is Terry Browning. I am the owner of 3829 Shore Drive
along with my two brothers. My parents purchased this property nearly 50 years
ago to run our family boat business. We've been in business since 1955 and 20
years into business, we moved to Virginia Beach, we saw the opportunity for
growth. Our customer base was here in Virginia Beach, and we could expand our
business. We've been operating in Shore Drive. We bought this property as it was
look like a viable financial move for my family; we were able to afford this property
by selling boats and being in the boat business. We've owned this property; we
tragically lost my parents in 1999 in a plane crash. My brothers and I have had to
run this business since then. And we found it very difficult now in going forward to
support three families out of the boat business. My father and mother bought this
property knowing that was going to be our future going forward. And we have lived
through all the zoning changes and changes in the City of Virginia Beach.We have
owned a beach cottage on Surry Road since 1951. Our family has spent summers
in Ocean Park.And as you can imagine, Ocean Park looks quite a bit different now
than it did in 1951. But as with everything, we know that things change, laws
change, and we move forward, us as property owners tried to deal with these
changes and conform to what's asked of us to develop our properties. We're at a
point in our property now that we need to move forward and go from where we are
now and develop this and try to pick out something on this property that we felt
was good for our family and our future, our children, our grandchildren, and was
good for the Ocean Park community. We have many choices of many things, we
could do on our property. My property is zoned B-2. And I can do quite a few things
on that. And soul searching and doing research on this, we felt like this was the
best solution we could to go forward to be financially viable for us. I'm just a land
leaser in this deal. I'm not the builder. But this is going to take care of my family in
future years. And I know people are opposed to change, but change happens. And
I want to thank you for consideration of this. And I feel like we need to move this
project forward. I think this is the best we can do with this property. And with the
rules they change now and the infrastructure needed, it does take this to build to
be viable, financially viable.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir, any questions? Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Mr. Chairman, I believe that was our last in person speaker. We have two WebEx
speakers remaining, Kim Mayo, followed by Martin Thomas, Ms. Mayo, if you
would please wait two to three seconds and then state your name and begin your
comments, please.
30
Ms. Mayo: I'm Kim Mayo, and I oppose this. I'm not personally against all development or
change. I've lived many places including our Shore Drive Corridor for over 25
years. But I am against over development and its unintended consequences.
Some on our Planning Commission unfortunately have a reputation for favoring
big developer interests over citizens, especially in our neighborhood. Let's let
McCleskey build under by right zoning. It would have far fewer negative
consequences on our community. Those negative impacts include burdens on
police given the current staffing shortages, increased pollution, noise,
infrastructure challenges more traffic and impacts on our quality of life. Per my
expertise as a conservationist, often the cost of development outweigh the tax
benefits and I'm talking about actual dollar costs here, not just hidden costs. After
Windsong and Tower of Westminster people are fed up. Residents having their
sunlight blocked and rights infringed upon. My dear friend, a retired local college
professor had a multi-story condo built right next to her property. Her charming
cottage was literally engulfed by it. After 40 years of living there live oaks were
ripped down, birds she loved so much disappeared. We can hardly turn our car
around in her driveway anymore.And I truly believe the stress from this contributed
to her stroke. That's what's happening. Her story needs to be heard. Who is
protecting the rights of existing property owners.Specific to Marlin Bay apartments,
I agree with civic leaders of Ocean Park and many surrounding communities and
this is not in keeping with our master plan regarding density for Pleasure House
Point or the Shore Drive overlay. Four and a half story buildings and 197 units is
not low to medium density which is 12 to 18 units per acre and in keeping with the
surrounding area. The proposed height and giant building size is not
complimentary or in keeping with residential or commercial uses in the area. The
height and size will overwhelm existing residential uses. Expert testimony from one
of your own former planning council members as we heard shows the property
across the street first came in as a four story building. The developer was asked
to redesign the project to be consistent with the surrounding area, Staff cannot
support the proposal. Why then should McCleskey get special treatment?
Regarding Pleasure House Point, how would this high density development in a
flood zone be complimentary? Our tax dollars have made a huge investment
protecting this open space gem. The master plan reads quote "ensure that any
development is complimentary with regard to both design and land use to our
natural resource and open space amenity Pleasure House Point." It clearly is not.
Based on my expertise on open space the idea of building high density
developments is not in keeping with the surrounding area that about conservation
land without proper environmental impact studies is not a best practice. Many who
use Pleasure House Point have dogs and more fences with strain and further
pollute our Lynnhaven River. I like seeing stars and not bright lights. Many other
cities require the mitigation of light pollution on new development.
Madam Clerk: Our final speaker today is Martin Thomas. Mr. Thomas, if you would wait two to
three seconds and then please state your name and begin your comments.
31
Mr. Thomas: Hello. My name is Martin Thomas. Thank you for the opportunity to be here, and I
appreciate all your service. I know what it's like to serve on a public body. I know
the challenges, often thankless; I've been a resident of Ocean Park for 60 years.
live on Roanoke Avenue. I'm not going to go over. I'm an attorney. And luckily
everybody else has already said most of what I wanted to say so you don't get
bored by another attorney. But I would like to comment on a couple of the aspects.
As Mr. Solomon pointed out, you know, the Bayfront Area is unique in and of itself.
But the ULI study singled out Ocean Park is being a different character than the
rest of the Bayfront community.And it recommended that we not engulf it by having
multi use, I mean multifamily projects that are incongruent with the duplexes and
single family homes that primarily occupy Ocean Park. One of the members of the
Commission mentioned that there was a lot of abandoned retail in the area. That
doesn't exist on the west side of Lesner Bridge, which is Ocean Park. There are
no abandoned retail places along there. And quite frankly, I'm not opposed to
development. And I've wanted that lot developed for a long time. But I like to see
real mixed use development. I'm not opposed to apartments either. But this is not
a real mixed use development. This is tacking on a boat existing business to call it
mixed use. It's not adding any retail. Why not have a mixed use on this lot, have
some retail with some other parcels above it. One of the reasons that it's been
difficult to develop retail along Shore Drive is because the commercial lots are so
shallow. This is a deep lot that would allow for a lot of different uses in commercial
vein, including mixed use. And I appreciate the opportunity to talk. I don't want to
go over what everybody else has said although I agree with most of what they said.
I just urge you to consider the ULI study and consider the impact on this
neighborhood which is a very unique neighborhood. Thank you very much.
Madam Clerk: No more speakers.
Mr. Weiner: No more speakers. All right. Ms. Murphy.
Ms. Murphy: Good afternoon. Thank you all for your patience. I'll be very brief. I just wanted to
address a few issues. Specifically, the B-4 SD District which is the one that we
have proposed the conditional rezoning to specifically allows for density of 36 units
per acre.What we've proposed is just over 31 units per acre. I know speakers have
spoken about the apartment districts and infill in the apartment districts. This B-4
SD District is unique to Shore Drive and it was part of the Shore Drive Overlay and
it provides for a mix of uses. I know a lot of folks when they think mix of uses they
think Town Center and that's vertical. The Shore Drive mix of uses is really meant
to be horizontal. If you look at again The Pearl,you've got the Surf Rider and you've
got the apartments. It's not all in the same - in the same building. So this is
conceptually very different than the Town Center type area. With regard to parking,
there are 390 parking spaces, 358 are multifamily, 32 are for the 12,000 square
foot buildings. The applicant could have because this is mixed use asked for a
32
shared parking arrangement. Obviously, the commercial use times especially with
the boat sales is going to be different from the residential. So there will more likely
than not be an excess of residential spaces because the residents are parking
when the businesses are not necessarily open. What I've heard a lot about is
parking on Marlin Bay Drive. If you look at the city's website, Pleasure House Point
is 118 acres of city open space. It's part of the Parks and Recreation Department.
And it's public for the whole city. The website says the parking is on Marlin Bay
Drive because frankly, there is no other way to get into Pleasure House Point.
Beaches on Shore Drive, which, you know, I live in the city, I frequent them just as
much as anybody else. They are public beaches, and you know, where you have
public beaches, it sounds like you're going to have parking issues. My family was
in town last weekend; we left for the beach at 12:30. I told them that was too late
and we couldn't find a parking space. So we went back home and went to the pool.
You know, those challenges it sounds like are challenges that have to do with the
public spaces, more so than what we're proposing. Obviously, this is going to be
self parked; we're going to have more than enough parking on-site for the both of
the uses. A lot of has been made of the character of the neighborhood, the fact
that this is, you know, a residential neighborhood. This specific area because it's
right along Shore Drive is in what the city staff report called the mixed zone. And
the staff report finds that the density and use is appropriate in the mixed zone as
a transition. So where you have a highly travelled, you know, major arterial
roadway, you're going to want some sort of a transition back to the residential, the
more single family residential uses.This type of use is a transitional use that would
be appropriate. There was an Ocean Tides Drive and I think Ric Lowman came up
for this as well. The part that we're closing is, is here, it's not used by anybody for
vehicular access other than the boat facilities, I think she had a concern that this—
somehow this was being closed. This is not being closed at all. It's just within the
parcel itself. And as the viewers who are required to go out and look at the request
for a street closure have indicated there are other ways to get across more
specifically the signalized intersection where folks can walk across and nobody
can actually use a car now, other than the folks entering the Browning and
Lynnhaven Marine facilities. What they were looking at, I think, was people who
might be walking to get across Shore Drive. But again, they found there wouldn't
be a public inconvenience because you've got the signalized intersection to get
folks across. The purpose of the landscaping,which is a Category Four landscape
buffer, it will be 15-feet wide, the trees will grow up to 30 feet; you've got bushes
that are grow up to five feet. The intention of that is to provide that buffer and really
they'll just because of the view shed and the line of sight they'll screen a lot of the
duplexes that back up there. There were comments made about height, I'm not
sure where they came from. The staff report indicates that the section facing the
intersection is three stories, which was a major reduction in height and in density
from what was originally proposed. But the four and a half stories where that comes
from is the parking garage. So, stories in a parking garage don't have the same
height as stories in a residential building. So, the four stories in those wings of the
33
building will actually shield the parking garage. So, we're talking four and a half
stories that's really kind of a misnomer. As far as maintenance as was mentioned,
the Terry Peterson Companies and the McCleskey and Browning families are long
term owners. They're not going to be selling this project. They will maintain it the
way they've maintained all of their projects and properties in the city. And in some
cases as was mentioned, they don't have a mandatory civic league or a property
owners association. The maintenance of this facility will be top notch. I mean you
can't say that for every area of the city where you don't have a commercial entity
doing the maintenance. Proffer number four, there was a mention of lighting,
proffer number four details that lighting on the property will be limited to that which
is necessary for security and safety purposes, and it will comply with applicable
law. So it'll be shielded to prevent glare and spill over onto other properties. This
really is as we've heard, and as the staff report indicates the highest and best use
for this property, it will be a tremendous upgrade, and really provide a gateway
feature into Shore Drive and into the city itself. I'm happy to answer any questions.
I think Ric Lowman can address traffic, but I think the traffic study and the
professional review of that have indicated that there will not be a negative impact
on traffic in the corridor and at the intersections.
Mr. Weiner: Any questions to Ms. Murphy?
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Murphy, I just want to clarify because you touched —when you first started on
Marlin Bay, there's a new median break for the entrance to the parking garage.
Further down on Ocean Tide, there is a median break. You're not closing that.
Ms. Murphy: No, we're not doing anything with that section of Ocean Tides at all.
Ms. Oliver: Just wanted to be very clear on that. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? Jack?
Mr. Wall: So where are the dumpsters going to be located?
Ms. Murphy: The dumpsters will actually be at the rear, John do you want to address?
Mr. Peterson: They're proposed in this area.
Mr. Wall: Okay. Yeah. Simple enough, I mean, that's my, the follow up. I mean, your
dumpsters when they, when they slam those things down. you can hear it a half a
mile away.
Mr. Weiner: While you're up here real quick. Nobody's really touched base on what's going on
in Shore Drive part of the apartments to Shore Drive, the sidewalk and everything,
what's happening up there?
34
Mr. Peterson: You are asking me?
Mr. Weiner: Yeah, sorry.
Mr. Peterson: The first of all as you know, that area is drained by ditches. And so we're going to
—we would be proposing to do curb and gutter. And then there would be a verge
from that curb to the proposed 10 foot wide multi use path, which is again called
for all the way the whole length of Shore Drive. And then there would be an
additional setback to what would be the entrances out of the first floor apartments,
so bit of a unique feature to try to create a more residential feel on the street,where
there would be stoops that would actually exit out of the apartments down onto
that multi use path. And then there's an additional main entrance way right where
the pointer is, which is kind of another entrance into the entire building. And then,
of course, landscaping and trees and everything that don't exist today.
Mr. Weiner: Yes sir.
Mr. Inman: And where are the other entrances to the building besides the one you just pointed
to off of Shore Drive?
Mr. Peterson: This is the main entrance right here. You come in here and there'll be a leasing
office. And that's a direct line through to the community center, recreation center.
You also have, you have garage entrances, here and here. So access to the
interior of the building will be secure.
Mr. Inman: And on the buffer that's between the lower wing of the building and the houses that
backup to that, would you describe what that buffering is going to consist of?
Mr. Peterson: As I mentioned before, I don't have specific species, our goal is, of course,to have
them be as tall as they can be for screening purposes,just to clarify, the 15 feet is
the width of that easement. I mean, I'm sorry, the setback and so it's a 15-foot
width and then we would plant as taller trees as was practical in that 15 foot width.
Mr. Inman: Yeah, the proffer looks like it's or the condition we have in here, trees have been
permitted to grow and maintain the minimum height of 20 feet and a shrubs height
of 5 feet.
Mr. Wall: About to tack on to that, the impacts to the residents sunlight, can you?
Mr. Peterson: So this is south, instead the sun essentially goes like this. And these shadows are
a bit of an improperly placed. This would be, I am not sure when these would
actually, the shadows would actually go this way.
35
Mr. Wall: So the sun's not going to, it wouldn't impact any kind of height of trees or anything
wouldn't impact the backyards in terms of sunlight hitting there, if somebody wants
to grow something back there, their tomato, you know, something, would you say
that this is not impactful to anything that they currently have in terms of sunlight
hitting right that?
Mr. Peterson: The intent is that,you know, again, shadows go this way.We haven't studied every
possible sun angle, but the general idea is that the sun is in the south and shines.
Mr. Wall: Right, any impact would probably be in the after late afternoon, if there is an impact.
Okay. Building of the site 79 feet, up to elevation 79, which is the site in general or
at least, but the storm, so you have to put the stormwater management under?
Where's the stormwater draining?What's the general direction of,where it's gonna
go once it leaves the site?
Mr. Peterson: The outfall is this direction. It's an existing outfall that goes into the,there's actually
a BMP inside of Pleasure House Point. And then it discharges into the, into the
creek from there.
Mr. Wall: So where would the stormwater management facilities? I know they're
underground? But I mean, where are they going to be placed?
Mr. Peterson: They are all throughout, all the areas that you see.
Mr. Wall: So under the green space, under the parking lot.
Mr. Peterson: Yes.
Mr. Wall: So they are going to be down there. So to install those the sites may even have to
be even more so to get, I don't know how tall they're going to one foot, two foot,
three foot and you have cover over those. They're in the grounds of sandy soil, so
some of that may infiltrate, what I'm getting at is the finished floor elevation, it may
be higher than what, 7 to 9, do you know the finished floor elevation at this time?
Mr. Peterson: I don't have a specific finished floor elevation, but I don't think it's, I mean, we're
certainly not going to build it up any higher than we have to, I mean, it's going to
be what's required in order to meet the code.
Mr. Wall: Right to drain the site,which and then may bring it up a little bit just for architectural
look of the site, okay. Okay.
Ms. Murphy: The volume will be brought underground. I mean, currently the water is going north
to Shore Drive where there's a drainage and Marlin Bay Drive to the south. And
there's no stormwater management at all on the property.
36
Mr. Wall: Right. And it was mentioned, I think somebody said it was, you know, the whole
site and probably but not really, I think what's already PD-H1, I think that's not
impervious. So, what currently is the Browning property of course is...
Mr. Peterson: By the definition of the city stormwater regulations, it is impervious.
Mr. Wall: Gravel is impervious for water quality. Okay.
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions? No questions? All right, thank you very much. We will close
this out and look at Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: This is your neck of the woods.
Mr. Redmond: It is my neck of the woods. I rode my bike up Shore Drive when I was...
Ms. Eisenberg: Would you like to care to make...
Mr. Redmond:Oh,yes,Thank you for the reminder. I have a disclosure to make.There is a broker
in my office; I work in real estate broker, as a real estate broker. There is a broker
in my office who does some work for McCleskey and Associates, has a listing that
sell some land for them. I do not — I don't participate in any way and that haven't
received any remuneration ever from McCleskey or from Terry Peterson or from
Mr. Browning or anybody else don't now, so it doesn't affect me in any way. And
conflict of interest laws, of course, define me as just as you all would or any other,
you know, broker in the real estate business. So, but I wanted to be sure to disclose
that and I will be voting and commenting on the application, thank you Tori.
Mr. Inman: I have a disclosure to make also,as an attorney I have represented before,another
project Terry Peterson, I'm not representing him currently and we don't — I don't
have any financial interest in the project, in this project and or any other project
they've done so I feel free to vote.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Redmond: I was riding my bike up Shore Drive when I was about 14 years old, wasn't old
enough to drive that would have been 79, 1979. So I'm well familiar with this
corridor. And I want to be clear that we're talking about the entire Shore Drive
corridor, and the Shore Drive plan and the Shore Drive overlay, and the Shore
Drive, all of these things that I think we have to view in the broader Shore Drive
context, and not merely in terms of Ocean Park. For the life of me, I don't
understand how this is going to negatively impact Ocean Park. But I still think we
37
have to recognize that there's more than just this, you know, then just this one little
pocket at the corner of Marlin Bay, and Shore Drive, there are a number of things
about this application that I think are very attractive, you can stare at that slide and
see there's a heck of a lot more green on it than exists today. There's more turf,
there's more shrubs, there's more trees, there's stormwater that's going to be
installed that doesn't exist today.At the same time, it reduces the impervious cover
on site. So it's certainly a much greener application, the infrastructure is clearly an
improvement. We don't have any infrastructure in terms of stormwater there today.
The architecture, I think, is extremely attractive. I have driven the site in the context
of this application five times specifically, including again, yesterday afternoon, and,
you know, tried to make myself get lost is very hard, because I'm very familiar with
this place, but just sort of noodled around back in the neighborhoods and then
turned around and went all the way up to Great Neck Road and came back and
just looked at the entire corridor. From this site, I can throw a rock and hit Bay
Vista, Chesapeake House, 3556 on the Bay. If I go west, I'm going to run into the
shopping center that has the Kroger in it and the four-story Victoria Place and then
another small shopping center. On either side of this site are multi story buildings.
All throughout the Shore Drive corridor are multi story buildings. Within Ocean Park
itself, single family and duplex residences that are three stories themselves. And
what's proposed for that corner is three stories. I don't understand. That reminds
me of an old joke, How many Virginians does it take to change a light bulb?Three,
takes three, takes one to change the bulb and two to admire the old one. And I just
don't know what it is we're admiring about this site that would cause us to see that
as a negative impact over the broken down storage yard,the building that's got the
water stains on it, you know, it's got some of the material peeling off it that I saw
yesterday.The streets that are to be closed,aren't streets,they are two dead ends.
Somebody said they use it as a dog park. Alright, well, they're not streets, there's
no reason to keep open streets that serve no useful public purpose for which we
should maintain. And in fact, any redevelopment of that site, those two dead ends
are going to be closed, you put a warehouse there, and they're going to need to
close those streets. So in any event, you know, if I thought this would in some way
damage the Shore Drive corridor, I would be a first guy saying, forget it. And in
fact, that's the first thing I said to the applicant, when I first met with them seems
like a million years ago that we've been talking about this is. You know, this has to
be very high end. And from what I see from the elevations, from the landscape
plan, from the infrastructure that's added and frankly, the appropriateness of the
building height in the context of this broader character, that's what I'm talking
about. I just don't see how this is anything, but a positive addition to the Shore
Drive Corridor. And something I think in the end will be proud of. So I'm certainly
going to support the application. I'll be happy to make a motion at the time. And
then I'll just sit back and let y'all do your thing too. Thank you everyone who came
here today. I had a lot of conversations with an awful lot of folks for many, many,
many months.And as I said, I've been over there a million times now but I've known
38
it very frankly since I was a boy. So I didn't need to learn a whole lot more. Thank
you, Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you, sir. Yes, Ms. Klein.
Ms. Klein: I took everything into account and wrote my thoughts down. So I want to start by
saying every developer I've seen from the seat has said that their parking plans
exceed the requirements and they've never had a problem with parking. I challenge
them to talk directly to their residents. There is never enough parking. I'm very
familiar with the housing shortage in my role, density changes are inevitable and
cities across the country are revising their zoning guidelines to accommodate this
need. In this particular case, however, I take issue most with the type of apartments
proposed. If I had known at 18, that how the salary of a social worker translates
into the real world I may have reconsidered. The average hourly wage to afford a
two bedroom rental in Virginia is slightly under $25 an hour, and it took me more
than a few years to reach that number after graduation. I'm a Master's educated
professional and I make well below the median household income in Virginia
Beach, which is 98,000 as of 2019. The home I purchased in 2018 cost less than
half of the median home price of$324,000. My son and I live with our two dogs in
a 1000 square foot home with two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms and a
mortgage of about $800 per month. Owning a home is exhausting, and I miss
apartment life. And a comparably sized dog friendly apartment in the city starts at
$1300, an increase of over 60%. If I'm willing to forego air conditioning that number
drops to $1200, renting in Virginia Beach without significant lifestyle changes is
fiscally impossible for me. And we are pricing out the younger workforce, we are
trying to attract. So for that reason, I will be voting no.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: I appreciate everybody that came in opposition. I've talked to a number of you and,
you know, I live in, I've said it before, and I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing it,
but I live in the Great Neck - Shore Drive area I drive by this property, you know,
probably five times a week. I grew up in Virginia Beach, probably driven by this
property, you know, 1000s of times. I agree with Mr. Redmond, you know,
sometimes you kind of look at how it, you know, does it check all the boxes and
you look at traffic. And to kind of go over this, this is a reduction in the traffic that
could be created by the current zoning. If you were to build what the current zoning
allows, you would create more traffic than what this project would create. The
project is not going to promote neighborhood traffic. I mean it's right at a corner.
People are going to drive in; they're going to go into their parking garage. I don't
see them parking in the neighborhood or really driving through the neighborhood.
You know, Mr. Redmond talked about the height. I'm not going to go into that.
Yeah, some people have mentioned other uses for the property, retail and
commercial restaurant.And it said that there's not any vacant buildings on this side
39
of the Lesner Bridge. Well, there may not be right now but there have been in the
past and we all know that. At one point, there was a Harris Teeter that was going
to go on the other corner of Marlin Bay. I know because I was the developer, I was
working with Harris Teeter. And Harris Teeter turned the site down. Because when
you in the world of commercial real estate, you look at demographic rings and
when you do the demographic rings here, you pick up water, you pick up marsh;
you don't pick up that many people. I know. It seems like a lot of people but in the
world of commercial real estate, there's not enough demand to say we're going to
do all commercial on the site. Matter of fact, one of the other planning
commissioners brought up the dumpster. If you put restaurants there, you are
going to hear dumpsters, a lot more dumpsters that you're going to hear from an
apartment complex. I do think that that other building that's left I think that it has
probably a better chance of getting developed or redeveloped or modified for a
retail use. If we have this captured audience of apartments right there. You know,
I think I view the site is as almost a gateway into the Shore Drive Great Neck Area.
It is a very, I mean you look at these, these renderings. This is a very attractive
project. Like I said, checks all the boxes. I don't think stormwater is going to be an
issue. It's actually they're improving the stormwater. I know that change is
sometimes uncomfortable but I do think that Shore Drive, this area, it needs to
evolve. This is a great use, it's the highest and best use for the site. And I have
talked to a lot of people in your neighborhood that are for and against it. And yeah,
there's a lot of people in Ocean Park against it. I have tried to find a reason to not
want to see this project approved. I've really tried it, you may not believe that, but
I have tried. I'm going to support this project. I think it's great for the Shore Drive
corridor. I think it checks all the boxes. I think it's gonna be an improvement. And
so anyway, that's I am going to be supporting this project.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Graham. Who is next?
Ms. Oliver: Is Ric still here?
Mr. Weiner: Ric Lowman, are you still here? There he is, come on up here, Ric.
Ms. Oliver: I hate for you to sit here all day and not, you know, get a chance, somebody asked
you a question.
Mr. Lowman: Ric Lowman, city traffic engineer, licensed professional engineer.
Ms. Oliver: So Ric, just for clarification, on Shore Drive, because there's a lot of conversation
about traffic and not traffic. And this morning and in formal, we talked about if by
right, we use that piece of property for drive through restaurant and how much
traffic that would generate and how much traffic that the apartment complex would
generate, basically, the trips in and out for people going to work, and things like
that,just for clarity, and how, what this road does. Because I thought what you did
40
this morning was a great presentation. Actually, I thought I knew a lot about Shore
Drive till you did that. And I think it would be just good, just sort of put it on the
record a little bit.
Mr. Lowman: Sure. So the first part of that was the by right, the by right land use and looking at
the size of the site, you know, they could put a fast food restaurant on the site by
right. With that, it would generate I think, I don't remember the exact numbers. But
when you add that together with what they could put on the other part of the site,
that zoned, the other part that's not zoned B-2, you could generate about 2000
trips a day. Most of that being the fast food with a drive through. With the
apartments, they could generate about 1448 trips per day. So that would mean
that there would be a net decrease in trips if this lot was developed with apartment
versus a fast food restaurant. So I mean, that's just a fact. As David Bradley
mentioned, you know, the trips are going to be different, because the apartments
will generate more traffic in the afternoon. When people come home, and it'll
generate some traffic in the morning, when people leave for work. Apartments are
much different than single family homes, though. So apartments generate much
less traffic than single family homes. So all these uses are different, but in the end,
the traffic study considered all that. And the traffic study showed that, you know,
this development is going to generate 30% less traffic per day, then the by right
uses and I agree with that.
Ms. Oliver: And then maybe expand a little bit about the type of road that Shore Drive is?
Mr. Lowman: Sure,Shore Drive is considered a major arterial, urban arterial in the City of Virginia
Beach. I mean, it's one of the, it's really the only,you know, East West streets, you
know, north of Virginia Beach Boulevard. And as such it carries a lot of traffic. The
one difference between Shore Drive and independence Boulevard is that Shore
Drive doesn't have any major intersecting intersections, so it can carry a lot more
traffic; your delays on roadways, your major roadways are going to be at your
signalized intersections. Independence Boulevard has many signalized
intersections that carry a lot of traffic like Rosemont, Independence Boulevard,
Lynnhaven. Shore Drive doesn't have many of those big intersections. The only
ones that really has is Great Neck and Pleasure House. As we discussed First
Court is not that big but it's one of the, it's one of the bigger ones on Shore Drive
in that stretch. So Shore Drive has the capability of carrying a lot more traffic
because the city can give much more green time to Shore Drive. It doesn't have to
give traffic you know, doesn't have to give green time to the side streets because
the side streets are very, very light. And Marlin Bay is one of those, you know, light
side streets, Marlin Bay slash Shady Oaks. So in that way, you know, Shore Drive
can carry a lot more traffic than another, you know, four lane divided urban major
arterial roadway, because it just doesn't have that many major intersections.
41
Ms. Oliver: Right. And thank you. Because I think that's extremely important for people to
understand that particular artery in our city, and how it used. One thing I would do
want to, one of the other things I'd like to ask you about is that, and I don't live on
Shore Drive, so I don't know, was that there was a reference to this intersection
about accidents?
Mr. Lowman: Okay, well, I took some notes.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, great.
Mr. Lowman: Yeah, I did. So I don't know of the crashes that they were speaking about. But I
can tell you we do crash analysis.And we take the last three years of police reports
that we have for all the signalized intersections in the city, and all the roadway
segments in the city. So these are the numbers that came directly out of our annual
report, the latest report being 2017 to 2019. So there's of the 378 signalized
intersections that were studied, this intersection rank 194th out of 378. So in the
bottom half, we are right about average for crashes, there were 11 crashes in the
intersection. And the rank doesn't just count the number of crashes in the
intersection. What it does it takes into account all the volume, the volume of traffic,
so it's kind of a weighted average. And it also takes into account the severity of the
crashes.So this puts this intersection,you know, right in the middle of all signalized
intersections, it hasn't risen, you know, from say 2015 to 2017 to this period, you
know, it's pretty average about 3.2 to 3.3 crashes a year at the intersection, and
nothing really jumps out at us from that. I did check. There haven't been any
crashes at the intersection this year, which is good news. There have been two
crashes around the intersection one was a rear end crash on Eastbound Shore
Drive past the intersection, just east of the intersection. And the other one was a
really strange crash on Marlin Bay Drive, where a woman drove down the wrong.
And I apologize, it may have been a woman or a man, I just saw a woman's name
is part of the crash, but someone drove the wrong way on Marlin Bay. And they
were cited for a DUI and it was in the middle of the day. It was weird.
Ms. Oliver: Right. So great, thank you.
Mr. Lowman: Any other questions?
Mr. Weiner: Any other questions for Ric? Thanks Ric.
Mr. Wall: It's not traffic, but the parking, people mentioned parking on Marlin Bay a couple
of times?
Mr. Lowman: Yes.
42
Mr. Wall: And that's not necessarily traffic. But it's there's no parking, or what's the
restrictions?
Mr. Lowman: The parking on the, I guess the west side of Marlin Bay Drive, it's restricted and I
believe its 8 pm to 6 am. Don't quote me on those. But I know, it's to restrict people
from parking there overnight and using the park. So that parking was generally for
the, you know, for Pleasure House Point, but northbound, I know for at least the
first block there's no parking allowed. I couldn't tell you exactly. We have a lot of
roads in the city. I could do some research, but I know that southbound.
Mr. Wall: Right, it's southbound, right but it's northbound and there's no parking, I mean,
they can park there.
Mr. Lowman: If it's allowed, they could park there. It's probably parking.
Mr. Wall: Public right away. Sure. Okay. All right. Thanks.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Inman. Thanks Ric.
Mr. Inman: You are off Ric, for a minute.
Mr. Weiner: Yes sir, go ahead.
Mr. Inman: I just want to start by saying that we are, as Mr. Graham mentioned,we are looking
here to see if this is the highest and best use of the property. And we need to have
this in that context. Also, the context of its zone B, half of B-2 the other part is
residential. And there are lots of possibilities with B-2 and we've just heard some
recent discussion about that. So what do you do with this property and why is it
still sitting there after all this time? B-2 is a very liberal, commercial zoning
category. Lots of things can be done in B-2 including what we just talked about.
The traffic study the restaurant site, possibility. So what did we do with this
property,then I heard a lot of even the opposition speaker say that they didn't have
a problem with apartments, they just have a problem with these apartments in a
way it's designed. Well, actually, the Bayfront Advisory Commission in that report,
they said that they were great with the architecture and in fact there was a
response to their concerns about architecture that were met by the applicant in
terms of reducing the height of that western portion of the structure. But they also
wanted the southern portion of the structure reduced. And because they, the
applicant said that we can't do it without 197 that's the best we can do to reduce it
from 227 to 197.They disapproved the project,although they liked the architecture,
as it turned out in the end as I read the report. So apartments aren't bad there
according to the sort of a consensus. And so then the developer has to figure out
well, okay, they want more aesthetics to the approach from the west. So they set
it back, and we reduce the height. And we enclosed parking, which is part of the
43
guidelines that everybody's supposed to be following on apartment developments,
not to have parking outside the buildings, right, that's accomplished, that's not
cheap to do. But it also sort of forced the building toward the east. And that,
unfortunately, is having some impact, obviously, on some homeowners who have
spoken to us today, and I respect that they're doing their best to offset that by
planting strip, and the height of trees that will be adjacent on that strip to minimize
that impact. Were it not developed as an apartment project, it would most likely be
developed with a denser housing, and on that southern part of the property, which
is zoned for housing now. So it's, and we know that we also have heard people
comment about how retail is the problem, I mean getting that's probably a good
reason why it hasn't been developed B-2 because everybody's afraid to make the
investment in B-2. And I think that the traffic that is generated on Shore Drive,
yeah, sure there are times, it's really bad. And I've lived here 40 some years, I've
used to live up in the Great Neck area, I've driven Shore Drive a million times, I've
been in the traffic. But the 197 units in here are not going to be a significant
according that's not my opinion, this is the opinion of experts who have analyzed
the data, and analyzed the sources and the time of day and all that business and
I don't think the feeling or the impression that traffic is going to be severely
impacted or worsened by this project is real. I don't think it's real. So that's my
thoughts on it.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir. Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: I think the architecture is very good. I think the Peterson Company is great
company. I think that, you know, they've worked with the Bayfront Advisory
Commission to certain extents, you know, they didn't get quite the approval they
were looking for. But they did reduce the number of units. I think it did impact the
landscaping upfront on Shore Drive. I think it not proved, but I think it's been shown
that the traffic, you know, won't negatively be, shouldn't be negatively impacted or
should be negatively, shouldn't be impacted one way or the other. Economics are
good, fiscal impacts positively for the city. I think they've shown parking shouldn't
be negatively, shouldn't be impacted, negatively impacted. I think they've dodged,
you know, a large bullet with when the Pleasure House Point Park was already
zoned PDH-1 so that whole area could have been developed, it's huge track of
lands. And I'm not sure that anything really is going to satisfy the homeowners
within Ocean Park, you know, whatever, whatever goes there. However, the
Comprehensive Plan there, this is suburban focus area one. And it's stated there
to preserve and protect the character of established neighborhoods. I think the
residents see this, that it will impact them negatively, the Bayfront Advisory
Commission, the way that this is laid out, as pointed that it will impact the
neighborhood. I'm not sure if it is best and highest use for the property. So I plan
to not support it. And I will probably support the road closures, but not the project
itself. Thank you.

Mr. Weiner: Mr. Bradley.
Mr. Bradley: I am hoping to have training wheels for another meeting, but I guess I need to take
the training wheels off. I'm not too far from what was just discussed. There's a lot
of positives with the project, I think it's a good looking apartment complex. And we
need apartments in the city. I like the multi-use walkway that's going to be
integrated into it. It's got nice landscaping. So, I think the project itself would look
good.The fiscal impact,you know, as the former budget director in the city, I guess
can't ever get that hat off, I guess. But you know, the fiscal impact is slight in the
scheme of things. And I'm not minimizing that residential development generally
doesn't pay for itself, because it's not just the roadways in schools. It's the calls for
service for EMS and fire and police and more human services workers. So its slight
and apartments generally are slightly fiscally positive because of the low school
multipliers. But at the end of the day, you know, the stakeholders that live in this
community thought that the zoning, you know had a zoning expectation and this is
much denser than what they were expecting. And you know, one of the things that
stood out to me in the formal discussion, I think the Civic League president brought
it up today was this I think it's a second page, we talked about the density. And to
me, it is a dramatic change from what the people that moved in that area that have
invested in that area,you know,were expecting. Throw in the fact that the Bayfront
Advisory Committee, which is a council appointed committee that looks at those
issues in that area also did not support it. I'm gonna be voting against the
application.
Mr. Weiner: Anybody else?
Ms. Oliver: So obviously this application, and I'll try not to repeat what everybody's said here.
It's been on in the spotlight for quite some time. And interestingly enough, as we
all know,we don't have a whole lot of land here left to develop and especially north
of the green line. And I've been down in Florida a lot lately,just took my daughter
down there to school, my parents live down there. My father was an executive
down there for many, many years and Florida is a great state as far as how they
seem to do this beautiful dance of single family homes and townhouses and three
story and four story apartments and high rises all within the same area of each
other. They do it well, and everything's landscaped and there's big, beautiful
sidewalks and there's berms and transition from one area to another. And it's
something that I always thought Virginia Beach should aspire or attempt or at least
try to hit that target on some lines. I think we have not done it more often than we
have done it. But my daughter lives in, I think it's a three story it's an apartment.
And right down, literally across the street from her is a development called Baldwin
Park, absolutely stunning. And right next to that is a high rise and right next to that
is the prettiest street with restaurants and apartments on top of that, and a large
park and I just thought Virginia Beach should try its very best to do something
along the lines of that. And I think that as much as we look at this, it is, you know,
45
we've gotten a garage, which is centered in the building. So for once, we don't
have to see a garage, parking garage, which we see a lot of those down at the
resort. And so that's concealed.And we've got three stories, four stories, that's not
that big. A three story house is not that tall.And a four story building is not that tall.
We've got it set back, we've got this beautiful segue of this wonderful walk, front
doors that actually face Shore Drive. And it's developed enough so that we can
actually, as Mr. Trower had said earlier, granted, unfortunately, the rents are what
they are today. I wish we could get around it, Lord knows the one I'm paying for
my daughter down in Florida is a lot higher. But that's an economy thing and that's
all over. But when you look at this, and as the landscaping matures, and to be able
to walk from here across Marlin Bay, use the Brock Center, do all of that I just think
that they've done a good job as far as trying to incorporate something that's a little
bit higher scale design than what we typically see. So, I like the project and I hope
I'd like to see it go forward.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Horsley?
Mr. Horsley: Well, I look at these renderings here and then look at the pictures of the site plan,
I said wow, what a difference and you know, I understand kind of what the
neighborhoods are talking about density but they've really willing to drop down on
some of that density and you know, it just like Mr. Inman, the highest and best use
and to me right now this looks like the highest and best use for this piece of
property. And I think it's more than just the highest and best use, it's an amenity
for the city. Go along what Dee just said, you know, I think it's something that, you
know, people coming down on Shore Drive and see this. These renderings here,
really, I think it's pretty astonishing to have along Shore Drive. I don't live over
there, I don't think I could stand to live over there in a place that's that tight and
whatever. But a lot of people love it. And a lot of people don't like where I live. So
that makes a good mix of everybody. But this is, if I was a young person, young
professional person looking for a start and I could come to Virginia Beach and try
to find me a job, I think this is somewhere I would probably like to pursue and you
know, have that close vicinity to get to the beach and whatever. And I just think it's
a good thing and I'll plan on supporting this.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir, Mr. Coston.
Mr. Coston: Yes sir. I kind of want to go along with Robyn here. But money is what the money
is. And I don't know how some people afford to start out and live in places like this
nowadays and my wife agrees with the community,of course. But I've had probably
Mr. Peterson's displeasure of having inspected a few of his properties over the
years. And he does a lot better job than a lot of other people in the profession. I
mean, I've seen places where I've written three and four pages and wait three or
four months to get things corrected when here is the exact opposite. Not that he
46
gets a rubber stamp, but he's proven thus far to be good at what he does, and I'll
be supporting.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Real quick. And I'm not going to get back to what everybody else has said.
But I'm gonna go in a different direction. I like doing that. I'm gonna bring up
something my colleagues are probably tired of me hearing but I have to because
it falls in line what this is. So about 10 years ago, I was out there. I was out there
where you are. I was sitting out there with you and there was a lot more people
here and there was an apartment complex called 525 Apartments of Kempsville,
Witchduck and Princess Anne Road. And everybody out there was not in favor of
Mr. Horsley, he was up here and he says he remembers me but I don't think he
does. And I was out there speaking and that apartment complex is in my backyard
in Kempsville and nobody liked it, nobody wanted it, but I thought, you know, this
is going to revitalize our area. And right now, there's a 185 apartments in there.
And if you ask everybody in the neighborhood today, they'll tell you why we can't,
we don't even know anybody lives there. We can't tell cars are coming in and out.
It's clean. It brings development to our area. It's revitalizing the neighborhood. It
has not lost one penny. Everybody out there said we're gonna lose value on our
homes. It has not lost one value in the area. If anything, it's helped our area out in
Kempsville. I'm also a member of another committee Envision 2040, which Mr.
Horsley there started that committee back in 2012. And back in 2012, we had
440,000 people in the city. Right now we're at about 460,000. And our goal, not
our goal, but it's —we're progressing by 2040 maybe have close to half a million
people in the city.And where are we going to live?We can't find places to live now.
And as Ms. Oliver said, we're running out of room to build. I think we really need
to take a step back and decide how we're going to do this and we had to find places
for people to live. Oceana if I'm not mistaken, Oceana, working on or is working on
bringing another Squadron here. That's close to 3000 people. We just approved
100,000 square foot facility in the City of Virginia Beach last month. It's going to
bring 400 to 600 more jobs here to the city. People are coming here to live, people
want to live in this corridor. Mr. Redmond said it best back in Marina Shores when
they wanted to put the apartment on top of the tennis court. People want to live in
your area. I know you don't like it. It's changed. It's called change. But people want
to come live in the Shore Drive corridor area. It's a beautiful place to live. They love
it. We just have to find places for them to live there. So I'm going to be supporting.
Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: Ms. Eisenberg, do I understand correctly?We need to vote on these six and seven
as one item? Eight and nine as another.
Ms. Eisenberg: Yes.
Mr. Redmond:Okay. Therefore, I move approval of agenda items number six and seven.

Dear Planning Commissioners,
I am the CEO and co-owner of the TASTE Family of Businesses. This letter expresses our support for
the Marlin Bay Apartments rezoning application on the June 9, 2021 Planning Commission agenda.
Our closest TASTE location is located along Shore Drive, 3/4 of a mile west of the subject property.
While our store has been successful in this location, the proposed rezoning will provide much
needed population growth within walking distance of neighboring businesses like ours. The plans for
Marlin Bay are also first class and represent an upgrade for the community over the existing use. We
urge the Planning Commission to recommend approval of this rezoning request.
To continue to attract businesses and residents to Virginia Beach, we should embrace well designed
projects led by long term citizens who care about our community. Please vote yes and continue to
move Virginia Beach forward.

Dear Planning Commissioners,
This letter is in support of the Marlin Bay Apartments rezoning application on the June 9,
2021 Planning Commission agenda. As a Realtor constantly working to solve housing
problems within the community, I support this project as one that would bring attractive
housing options to our citizens and improve the Shore Drive corridor.
Most importantly, in a time where affordable housing and quality new housing is greatly
needed, this project should be seen as a crucial one to that area of the city.
Currently, this property is an eyesore for Shore Drive, in desperate need of
redevelopment. This project would greatly improve the ascetics of Shore Drive for all its
citizens and give a fresh, welcoming lift to a major entry point for our visitors, who are here
to spend their hard-earned income in our resort city.
In addition, this proposed project is consistent with the land use guidelines outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, the Shore Drive Corridor Plan, and the Shore
Drive Corridor Overlay.
Lastly, it will add to the tax revenue base for the City of Virginia Beach to further help meet
the financial goals of our city, such as capital improvements to our stormwater drainage
systems.
This is a well-designed, attractive, environmentally conscious project that deserves to be
supported. To be a city that continues to stay ahead of progress, the demands of the
modern citizen, and economic reality of our time, this project should be approved.
Please vote yes to improving our city.

RE: Letter of SUPPORT for Marlin Bay Apartments
Dear Planning Commissioners,
This letter is in SUPPORT of the Marlin Bay Apartments rezoning application on the June 9, 2021 Planning Commission agenda. The
proposed project is consistent with the land use guidelines outlined in the Comprehensive Plan,Zoning Ordinance,the Shore Drive
Corridor Plan, and the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay. In addition to the project being in line with City guidelines,the project also
provides the following benefits to our community.
• Redevelops an important gateway property into an attractive building with coastal architecture.
• Provides quality new housing stock to a desired section of Virginia Beach with aging housing options.
• Improves the frontage along Shore Dr with landscaping and the multi-use path further along Shore Drive without taxpayer
dollars.
• Creates a landscaped streetscape along both Shore Drive and Marlin Bay that will be well maintained with on-site
management.
• Improves parking for residents by providing a garage that is weather protected and secure, but hidden behind the building to
ensure great architecture from all sides.
• Significantly reduces the impervious area and improves the storm water currently impacting the site, neighborhood,and Shore
Drive.
• Adds net new tax revenue for the City of Virginia Beach to further address stormwater solutions and beach erosion.
• Generates more revenue for local businesses surrounding the proposed development as the increase in residents in the
neighborhood will bring more patrons to local businesses,which will be very beneficial as the City continues to return to pre-
pandemic operations.
To continue to attract businesses and residents to Virginia Beach,we must support modern housing options within sections of our City
where existing and new residents want to live. We as a City should embrace well designed projects led by long term citizens who care
about our community. Please vote YES and continue to move Virginia Beach forward.
Sincerely,
Nell Hauck, CPA, MSA

Dear Planning Commissioners,
This letter is in support of the Marlin Bay Apartments rezoning application on the June 9,
2021 Planning Commission agenda. As a commercial real estate agent, it is my
professional opinion that a retail is not the best use here. Due to the changing retail
economy and the lack of households, you would likely have a difficult time leasing here
with quality tenants
The existing retail/restaurant tenants need more customers in this area, not more
competition. Quality new housing is greatly needed, this project should be seen as a
crucial one to that area of the city.
This property is ripe for redevelopment. This project would greatly improve the ascetics of
Shore Drive for all its citizens and give a fresh, welcoming lift to a major entry point for our
visitors, who are here to spend their hard-earned income in our resort city.
In addition, this proposed project is consistent with the land use guidelines outlined in the

Planning Commission
City of Virginia Beach
I am a long time resident of the Bayfront community,a former business owner on Shore Drive and past member of the Bayfront
Advisory Commission and wish to express my support of the proposed residential project at Marlin Bay.
The ULI study of the Shore Drive Corridor adopted by City Council in 2000 defined the area throughout its report as first and
foremost a residential community with well-defined character with an array of housing styles and types that should continue to
form the backbone of land use for the area. This project,in my opinion,fits this vision.
With its tasteful design this project can add immensely to the appearance of this major gateway to our city by the private
sector. City budget constrains can barely address roadway improvements which have been lagging for decades in this corridor.
The best one can hope for in the future for this property is another standard cookie cutter boxed building for commercial rental
which I don't believe is even financially feasible for an investor.
I respectfully the Commission and City Council to facilitate a workable common sense compromise to cease this opportunity.

Dear Planning Commissioners,
I live in the Baylake Pines community; near Shore Drive and in close
proximity to this proposed project. I am in support of the Marlin Bay
Apartments rezoning application.
It is my understanding that the application is in keeping with the Zoning
Ordinance, the Shore Drive Corridor Plan, and the Shore Drive Corridor
Overlay.
The buildings' architecture will be an improvement to Shore Drive (vs. what
is existing today.) This is important as Shore Drive serves as a major
"gateway" into Virginia Beach.
I am familiar with other projects by this developer. I am confident that this
project will result in the same high-quality product, attractive landscaping,
and thoughtful design that is exhibited by their numerous other successful
projects.
We, as a City, should encourage development that creates needed housing
inventory and generates significant net tax revenue.
I believe that you should, and I hope that you will, vote to approve this
rezoning application.

This letter is in support of the Marlin Bay Apartments rezoning application on the September 8,
2021 Planning Commission agenda. The proposed project is consistent with the land use
guidelines outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, the Shore Drive Corridor
Plan, and the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay. In addition to the project being in line with City
guidelines,the project also provides the following benefits to our community.
• Redevelops an important gateway property into an attractive building with coastal
architecture
• Provides quality new housing stock to a desired section of Virginia Beach with aging
housing options
• Extends the multi-use path further along Shore Drive without taxpayer dollars
• Creates a landscaped streetscape along both Shore Drive and Marlin Bay that will be
well maintained with on-site management
• Improves parking for residents by providing a garage that is weather protected and
secure, but hidden behind the building to ensure great architecture from all sides
• Improves the storm water currently impacting the site, neighborhood, and Shore Drive
• Adds net new tax revenue for the City of Virginia Beach to further address storm water
solutions and beach erosion
To continue to attract businesses and residents to Virginia Beach, we must support modern
housing options within sections of our City where existing and new residents want to live. We
as a City should embrace well designed projects led by long term citizens who care about our
community. Please vote yes and continue to move Virginia Beach forward.
Sincerely,
Resident of Ocean Park

Hello.
We are longtime Ocean Park residents and strongly oppose the request to increase density and rezone Marlin Bay
Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4. We do not oppose all development
but we want to ensure it is in line with the community and quality of life here. We feel this project as stated will not
enhance life in our Virginia Beach community.
Thank you for your service and consideration.

Hi, my name is Phil Rous and I am an Ocean Park homeowner and
resident. I oppose the request to increase density and rezone
Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1
to conditional B4.
I am not opposed to development but I want to ensure it is in line
with the community and quality of life here. In accordance with
the Shore Drive overlay a parcel of 4 acres or more can have
36units per acre which is 108 not 227. The current proposed
density is not in line with the neighborhood we bought into and
want to continue to live in. This proposal is not in line with
Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan and it would impact the
Emergency response time for Ocean Park area.
Respectfully I request you deny this proposal in keeping with the
community overlay plan and quality of life of the area.

My name is Randall W. Betz, a homeowner in Ocean Park (Aeries on the Bay). I oppose the
request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin
Bay from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. The proposed residence density would be absolutely
too much for this neighborhood. I am not opposed to any development but want to ensure it
is in line with the Ocean Park area quality of life.
There is also an opportunity to expand the outstanding focus on nature that nearby Pleasure
House Point affords Virginia Beach residents such as providing green space and an extended
bicycle/pedestrian path.

Gentleman:
My name is Ann Bennis and I am a longtime resident of Ocean Park. I am also a
registered voter and I act on that privilege at every opportunity.
I am writing to you to OPPOSE the request by Marlin Bay Apartments to increase
density from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. My concerns are that the proposed
apartments more than double the accepted standard for units per acre. HIGH
DENSITY is not in the best interest of my community. I am concerned about the
environmental impact the building will have on PLEASURE HOUSE POINT which
is an asset to our City and must be protected. I am seriously concerned about the
PARKING ISSUES this density will create for PHP and the surrounding
neighborhoods. There will also be a SIGNIFICANT BURDEN on our EMS/FIRE
Services. I respect long term planning and progress for our City, however,
approving this change is NOT IN COMPLIANCE with our approve VIRGINIA
BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I understand that the City and the citizens would benefit by more revenue.
However, it should be in line with the stated community values and SUPPORT not
ERODE the quality of life we enjoy.
Thank you for representing my concerns in this matter.

Furthermore, this development will take away very necessary habitats for land and water

RE: GPIN 2417656259
I vote NO to 1047 Coastaway Drive requesting this Conditional Use Permit. I have lived here
and own my home here with my family in Seabridge Square for 20 years. This is a family
orientated community for many years and hope that it continues to stay that way. This permit
would deteriorate the community that is very valuable to me and my family.Traffic,parking
problems and crime would increase and negatively impact an already small neighborhood.Not
to mention frequently changing tenants that do not know the values we have here and coming
into an already established community who are very protective of their hard earned property.
Those of us who live here for many years have the right to feel safe and secure in addition to
the safety of our children that play in this neighborhood that surround this address without the
worry of problems this would bring. Thank you for your attention to my concern in this
important matter.

Hello,
My husband and I are both strongly opposed to the rezoning of these apartments on several grounds:
1. They are rentals as opposed to owner occupied housing. Owner occupied homes are more
compatible with the surrounding area and owners are more invested in the community.
2. The density density density. Really, it is too many units in this space.
3. Issues with parking. Parking is at a premium here already. We live adjacent to Marlin Bay Drive and
can readily observe the comings and goings at Pleasure House Natural Area, so we can assure you that
such a complex will create more problems with illegal parking than what already exists(obstruction of fire
hydrants, running up on the curb, parking after dark, which is currently prohibited).
4. Stress on the current infrastructure including roads, schools and emergency services.
While we are not opposed to development in its entirety, many fewer units supported by on-site parking
would be a better fit for this neighborhood, in our opinion.
Repectfully,
Mark and Mary Faust

Hello all,
I'm writing to oppose the rezoning for the proposed apartment complex at Marlin Bay&Shore Drive.We are
homeowners and constituents within the Ocean Park community and the development as proposed will only further
the neighborhood's already immense traffic and density issues.The corridor cannot handle an additional 200-500
cars daily,and the zoning limitations were put into place to avoid this exact issue.
Thank you for hearing our concerns and we appreciate all you are doing to bring eco-friendly,reduced traffic
solutions to our neighborhood and city.
All the best,

Good afternoon.
My name is Carolyn Hedrick, an Ocean Park resident for over 20 years. I am writing to
inform you that I oppose the request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay
Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2 - PDH-1 to conditional B-4. It is
important that development be in line with the community and quality of life we live here in
Ocean Park.
More specifically, there are a variety of problems and potential negative impacts resulting
proposed development:
- In accordance with the Shore Drive overlay, a parcel of 4 acres or more can have 36 units per
acre. For the proposed development, that would total 108 units, as opposed to their 227 unit
proposal (more than double the number of allowed units per acre).
-An environmental study needs to be performed to determine the impact on PHP.
- Overflow parking would spill onto Marlin Bay and the surrounding neighborhoods.
-The increase in density, cars, and traffic could negatively impact the ability of emergency
service response serving Ocean Park.
-The development is not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Good Morning Sir,
My name is Alanna and I currently live in Ocean Park off of Shore Drive. I'm writing to you to express
my opposition to the rezoning of Marlin Bay Apartments. I actually work for a development
company and I am very much pro smart development, but this increase in density will create a host
of other terrible issues and concerns.
- Parking.They are only providing roughly 1.5 spaces per 227 apartments(the unit mix ranges from
1-3 bedrooms in size).This is not adequate parking and will leave only the street parking that the
Brock center and Pleasure House Point currently uses.They rely on that parking for their student
programs.Also people from around Virginia Beach will no longer be able to utilize Pleasure House
Point because there simply will be no parking to access it.
- Beach.We are no longer getting our much needed beach replenishment. We barely have safe
space to enjoy the beach as it currently exists.The steep dunes are already crumbling and a danger
for our children and anyone who sits near the dune.
-Traffic.This stretch of Shore Drive is already having to adjust to the hundreds of new apartments
that are popping up on the other side of the Lesner Bridge. I personally was T boned at this very
intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay,while pregnant and with a 5 year old child in the car.
Thankfully we are all okay, but the intersection is already extremely unsafe and adding hundreds of
additional cars will be an issue.
-Pedestrians. Crossing this intersection is like playing a game of frogger.There have been multiple
pedestrian injuries and fatalities.Without resolving the issue of this unsafe crosswalk, I can't imagine
adding hundreds more people,who are all wanting to cross Shore Drive to get to the bay.
- Beach Access. Our beach access recently received a poorly planned fence that narrows our access
to the beach. There are five feet of unused flat beach that are no longer able to be used. People
cannot safely pass through both directions.
- Environmental impact.Virginia Beach is so fortunate to have the Brock Center and Pleasure house
point.The impact on all the wild life and trails will take a toll.
-Gateway.This is not in line with Virginia Beach's comprehensive plan.There is such a great
opportunity to utilize this area with a development that will compliment the neighborhood and offer
a positive impact on one of VB's key gateways.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm Regards,
Alanna Doczi Deal

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

Good Evening,
My wife and I own a home in Ocean Park just across Shore Drive from the proposed
development. I am writing to oppose the request to increase density and rezone for
Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4.
It is very important to note that I am not opposed to the development of the land in
question, but the proposed project would have detrimental effects on the Ocean Park
community and the quality of life.
As it stands already, parking is at a premium in Ocean Park. In my portion of the
neighborhood in particular, population density is already too high in that a vast
majority of my neighbors spend many minutes out of their week circling the
neighborhood finding parking along the roads. This is only exacerbated on the
weekends with beach traffic leading to increased frustration. Although the proposed
project intends to mitigate this with a parking garage, I have no doubt it will add
vehicles to both sides of Shore Drive. Furthermore, call it what you will, but a parking
garage does not fit in Ocean Park; it is an eyesore and does not fit in line with our
way of life here. Ocean Park cannot handle traffic increases that would aggregate.
One slowdown creates terrific delays and hinders emergency response, already
shown this year by the boat ramp backups at Crab Creek from the reduction in trailer
spots.
The sheer number of apartments is concerning. With the recent foregoing of the
dredging project for Ocean Park beaches, us current residents already find beach
space at a premium. I have heard many comment that the beach is "massive" this
year, but this is the perspective at low tide. The gradient of the current shoreline is so
shallow the beach will fit only a small group against the dunes with barely enough
room to traverse past at high tide. Adding 200+ families to this in addition to those
who come from other local communities will crowd the beaches further, creating more
issues and more frustration.
Pleasure House Point will be impacted in some way shape or form. Despite
mitigation to be proposed to protect the area, I see no way an increase in population
in that area does not create issues for a piece of land that the city has worked so hard
to make special.
I fear not only for the frustrations the proposed project will bring, but the impact to a
neighborhood I have come to love and made my biggest investment in. This project
as proposed would not only affect property values in a negative way, but would also
take away from the charm that is so important to us Ocean Park residents. Please
consider these factors next month and understand this is not a plea to "leave our
neighborhood alone" but instead to responsibly develop the land with a project that
brings good to the community.
Very Respectfully,
Ron Marciszyn

Mr.Shea,
I would like to voice my concerns about the proposed apartment complex on the Browning's Marine
and McLeskey property on the corner of Marlin Bay Dr and Shore Drive. I am a resident and business
owner of Ocean Park and am in full support of development that enhances the community. I do not
support the proposed re-zoning of this property nor do I see a 227 unit apartment complex
enhancing the community.The property would include 1-3 bedroom units which would bring a
density our community cannot support.
We in Ocean Park hope you can help us prevent this and help create a development that would
enhance Virginia Beach and the Shore Drive community which is a gateway to our city.

Mr.Shea,
My name is Rick Kahler. I am an Ocean Park homeowner. I oppose the request to increase the
density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive from B2-PDH-1
to conditional B4. I am not opposed to any redevelopment of the parcel, but want to ensure that it
is done in accordance with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan. The proposed project will
negatively impact the community in the following ways:
• Potential impact on Pleasure House Point Conservation requires study
• Limited on street parking and spillage onto Marlin Bay Drive and the surrounding
neighborhoods
• The proposed number of units exceeds the Shore Drive overlay, Parcels of 4 acres of more are
allowed 36 units per acre, so the property can only support 108 units.
• The impact on emergency services in Ocean Park.
Thank you—
Rick Kahler

Dear Mr. Shea,
I am a current resident of Baylake Pines and my home is located one block from the proposed
Marlin Bay Apartments project. I am writing in opposition to the requested increase density
and rezoning of Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to
conditional B4 in order to allow the building of 227 units. I understand the needs and rights of
Landowners to develop their property,but this request is not compatible development within
this area of Shore Drive.
I would,however, support development similar to the projects directly across Shore Drive
from the proposed Marlin Bay project. I have attached pictures of those projects for your
review. Since there is a commercial business presently on this property, I would also be in
favor of a nicely designed and carefully planned commercial project.
With new and currently proposed residential developments on or near Shore Drive (i.e., The
Pearl-https://lifeatpearl.com/; Westminster Canterbury
-https://www.pilotonline.com/business/vp-nw-westminster-canterbury-01 1 1-202001 10-
66a1x6eku5dplbgf31ks3bi67y-story.html), traffic on Shore Drive will, in the very near future,
greatly increase. The proposed Marlin Bay project(with 227 units)will significantly add to
the numbers of vehicles traversing an already congested area. I have personally experienced,
on many occasions,vehicles traveling East on Shore Drive stacked up well beyond Bayville
Road waiting for the stoplight to change at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive.
Furthermore,the foot traffic this development will generate will only increase the chances of
pedestrian/vehicle accidents on Shore Drive. People living in these new units will frequently
walk across Shore Drive to access the Chesapeake Bay beaches. As a long-term resident of
this neighborhood,I have personally witnessed the impact of pedestrian accidents on U.S.
Route 60/Shore Drive in the past-lowering the speed limit from 45 MPH to 35 MPH as well
as a sign count warning of the number of such incidences(which was eventually removed by
the City). In addition to the fear of additional loss of life, I am also concerned that these types
of development projects would place further pressure on City Officials to lower the speed limit
further to 30 MPH or perhaps 25 MPH, creating additional gridlock on one of the few
East/West Corridors in our city.
I very much appreciate you giving consideration to my concerns and hope the outcome will
include a major decrease in density of any potential development project on this site.
Sincerely,
Nina T. White

To whom it may concern,
I have been a home owner at 3761 Jefferson Blvd since 2004. I have seen the density along Shore
Drive in the Ocean Park neighborhood increase exponentially, allowing developers to jam in higher
and higher density with no regard to the neighborhood's wishes. What was a quaint, pedestrian
friendly beach neighborhood has been ruined but over development. There is no parking and the
beaches are full. Think back to the very disturbing Floatopia event last year!!
Now we see a proposed rezoning at Marlin Bay and Shore Drive to accommodate a 227 unit
apartment complex called Marlin Bay. My husband and I strongly oppose the rezoning!!
It's unbelievable the city would allow 500+ more people to be squeezed into that small a lot,
especially close to the beautiful Brock Center on that side of Shore Drive! Even with a pool in the
complex,the majority of the residents are going to head to the beach,you know MI. Not wanting to
walk to the light at Marlon Bay, people will try to dash across Shore Drive at Powhatan and
Albemarle. Against 4 lanes of fast traffic! This an accident waiting to happen! People are going to
get killed, mark my words!
Please do not allow the ever present desire for more tax dollars sway your common sense. The
developers bought the property knowing the zoning was what it is. To request a rezoning to allow
FOUR times the density is unconscionable! Please do not fall for this greed and allow it. Do not ruin
our neighborhood by allowing the rezoning.
I don't know how much more strongly we can put this...we do NOT want this development!! Please
listen to the neighborhood, not developers who do not live in this area.

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

Good morning,
I am a property owner in Ocean Park and active member of the Ocean Park Civic League.I would like to voice my
concerns regarding the proposed apartment complex at Marlin Bay.I am strongly opposed to this project because of
its size.Ocean Park is a unique place which is why we bought our home here despite having ties to other beach
communities along the Eastern Seaboard.Ocean Park has the feel of a village with single family and duplex homes
and strong community spirit. This large 227 unit complex simply does not fit in with the Ocean Park community.
When the developer made its presentation to the OPCL board,the pictures looked attractive.But then as I drove
down Shore Dr.I could see how overwhelming and huge this structure would be which is not evident in the
carefully crafted drawings in the presentation.I am horrified that such a special place like Ocean Park could be
another victim of rampant unchecked development.
There are many concerns about this project related to infrastructure.I don't think the traffic study reflects the reality
of 400+cars added to our small streets.We have two stoplights in Ocean Park.It is a small place.We have 1800
households.How does it benefit Ocean Park to squeeze in 400+more people?This large increase in population will
surely strain current resources:fire,policing,schools,water,sewage.Ocean Park has been overlooked time and time
again in realizing the Phase IV changes.We don't even have safe sidewalks.It has taken years to get the one stop
light that will help residents from the south side cross safely to the beach.
The City of Virginia Beach treats Ocean Park like a step child.The city uses our bay beach in advertising Virginia
Beach as a destination but the city has denied Ocean Park the improvements of Phase IV that have been due for
decades.Will the city again deal a blow to this special community? Will the city stand up for Ocean Park and say
no to rezoning for this unwelcome project?I join with my neighbors to ask the city to be on the side of the
community of Ocean Park and not allow this over large development.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Mayor, Planning Commission members and City Council Members:
Please do not increase the number of units that can be built at Marlin Bay and Shore Drive.
Construction along Shore Drive corridor has been extensive in recent years despite few (or no)
improvements or expansions to infrastructure beyond emergency work.
Current infrastructure (drainage especially) is simply NOT currently capable of supporting 227
apartments on a four-acre lot zoned for a maximum of 108.Traffic, parking,fire and rescue
capacities are also serious concerns.
Traffic in the area has already increased dramatically because of the Pleasure House Point
natural area;during summer seasons,traffic and parking are already beyond capacity in the entire
Ocean Park neighborhood. (This problem was made MUCH worse by taking away so much parking at
the Lynnhaven Marina,that was poorly done.)
36 units per acre,fine. More than that will create far too many problems for the infrastructure in an
area that is already under too much pressure.
Thank you for keeping the zoning AS IT STANDS.To do otherwise would be sheer greed and exhibit a
complete lack of concern for the well being and safety of the citizens of Virginia Beach.
Sincerely,
Dr.Sharon M. Rowley

To All,
My name is Ritch LaTulipe and I am a long-term resident of the Ocean Park neighborhood. I
have seen many changes to our area over the last 20 years. Some good, some not. I oppose the
request to increase density(Once Again in our area) and rezoning for the Marlin Bay
Apartments on Shore Drive& Marlin Bay B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. I strongly oppose
any increase in density to existing rules.
I have long envisioned retiring in my home which I have paid off several years ago. Recently
with higher taxes and major traffic increases, I fear my dream is in danger. If you have ever
driven Shore Drive at rush hour, you would understand how I feel. 4 acres can have 36 unites
per acre which is a max of 108. The requested 227 is ridiculous and should under no
circumstances be approved.
I implore you to consider making this decision under the premise you live in this
neighborhood.

- In accordance with the Shore Drive overlay a parcel of 4 acres or more can have 36 units max per
acre,which would be 108 units not 227
- Environmental study needs to be performed to determine the impact on Pleasure House Point
- Parking spilling onto Marlin Bay and surrounding neighborhoods
- Emergency service response serving Ocean Park
- Not in line with Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan

Greetings,
My name is Jenny Snyder and I am a resident of Ocean Park. I am writing to oppose the proposed
development along Shore Dr and Marlin Bay in the 23455 area. I am very concerned about the
proposed density of this development as it is not in agreement with the existing land use in our
neighborhood. I feel a development of this size would significantly change the atmosphere of our
neighborhood without adding value.
My primary concern is placing such a high-density apartment building beside a nature preserve.
Virginia Beach worked very hard to preserve Pleasure House Park. It is my family's favorite place in
the city. I enjoy walking or running through the trails multiple days a week. I take visitors there to
appreciate the beauty of our city. Pleasure House Park is a wonderful recreational space that brings
value to Virginia Beach. Increasing traffic of both vehicles and humans will have a negative impact on
that space.Virginia Beach is in the process of establishing a magnet program with the Brock
Environmental Center. It seems contradictory that the city would want to invest in
environmental programs for students while simultaneously agreeing to outrageous land use
proposals just next door.
Secondly, I know the city is working to mitigate flooding.Along Shore Drive we've seen significant
growth in the number of high rise buildings.The Pearl,The Overture, and others have already
contributed to the increasing pavement and congestion along the Shore Drive corridor. Allowing for
more greenspace fits in with the strategic plan to use natural ways to mitigate storm water and
flooding issues.
I understand the development is inevitable but I urge you to stick with the existing zoning of the
space. Encourage the developer to propose solutions that fit with the neighborhood. It would be
great to see a mixed-use space that brings small businesses (restaurants, shops, etc) alongside
fewer units. Or a mix of single family and duplex style units as you see throughout the
neighborhood.
Thank you so much for your time.
Regards,
Jennifer Snyder,MPH,CHES

Greetings,

This short message is simply to let you know that I oppose the pending request to increase density
and rezone the area at the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional
B4 for the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments. I am not opposed to development for Virginia Beach
and the Shore Drive area, but I want to make certain that it improves the community and quality of

Dear Mr.Shea,
My name is Mark Gorsuch and I am a Ocean Park home owner. I oppose the request to increase density and
rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4.
I am not opposed to development but doubling the units per acre is not a request to enhance or improve our beach
front community. On the contrary,the Ocean Park quality of life that we enjoy will be in jeopardy by impacting the
beaches,the spilling over of neighborhood parking,and Shore Drive traffic concerns. The Shore Drive plan was
never intended to become a high density congested neighborhood. It was my understanding that the Town Center
area was designated for high density muli-family housing.
I ask you to help persevere the ocean front communities on Shore Drive. Please do not approve increased densities
for the area. The current zoning allowances will be difficult enough. Shore Drive is a gem in Virginia Beach that is
worth saving.
With warm regards,
Mark Gorsuch

Dear Mr.Shea, Mr. Landfair and Mr. Redmond,
We have lived in Ocean Park for over 20 years as a homeowner. Much of the community has
changed with the increased density of multifamily homes from single family homes. This has
created challenges for us with reduced parking, increased stop light queuing and increased traffic on
Shore Dr during the commuting hours and weekends. Parking has become a bottleneck for our
community during the summer often restricting emergency vehicle access.
While I am not opposed to development, I am strongly opposed to changing current zoning laws to
accommodate the Marlin Bay Apartments. This a significant increase (doubling the current density)
that is not aligned with quality of life Ocean Park offers it property owners.
If Marlin Bay Apartment complies with current zoning laws—limiting it to 108 units and the proper
traffic, environment impact, emergency response and parking evaluations show minimal impact I
could be supportive of the project of creating luxury apartments.
At this time with Marlin Bay Apartments is requesting 227 units which doubles the 108 allowed.
We strongly recommend the planning committee not approve this as is.
Thank you for your leadership. We are proud residents of Virginia Beach and have throughly
enjoyed raising our family here.
Thank you.

Mr.Shea,
My name is MaryLee Magnus,and I have been a resident of Ocean Park in Virginia Beach for 28 years.
I am writing to oppose the request to increase density and rezoning for the Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive
and Marlin Bay from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4.
I must also say I am extremely disappointed in the city allowing apartments to be built on this land at all.The Ocean
Park community is not the appropriate site for apartments.
We are a community of homes and condos,and should remain as such.
The city has not done a good job standing up for its citizens against the developers in the past.I am hoping that will
stop now! I hope you will help ensure this community keeps its current identity and quality of life.
Thank You
MaryLee Magnus

mention this is not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan. In accordance with the
Shore Drive overlay a parcel of 4 acres or more can have 36 units per acre which for this lot
would amount to 108 not the proposed 227.There is currently a parking issue in this area,
especially during the summer and the addition of this apartment complex would only increase
parking along Marlin Bay and surrounding streets.My husband and I will attend all public

Hello,
My name is Patrick Bonar. and I am an Ocean Park homeowner. I oppose the request to increase
density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive& Marlin Bay from B2-PDH-1 to
conditional B-4. I am not opposed to any development but want to ensure it is in line with the
community and quality of life here. If this rezoning is approved, I will tell you that you can expect me
and my family who also live off of Shore Drive,very close by,to attend any and all public meetings
related to this rezoning and development, and we will voice our opposition loudly. I would be happy
to discuss this issue further with you in person if you are actually open to the perspective of a
homeowner who lives near the proposed site. My address is 3818 Marlin Bay Court, I access Shore
Drive on the same intersection that the proposed development would be built upon. I look forward
to an open and honest discussion on this issue. I want to reiterate that I am not opposed to all
possible development on this site, or anywhere for that matter. I want my neighborhood to be
upscale,classy and respectable. I would only like to voice my opinion and concern about this
proposition because of the large increase in density(and therefore traffic). Our speed limit has
already been lowered, I do not want an additional increase in commute time due to increased local
traffic,summer tourist traffic already adds 5-10 minutes to my commute, I cannot imagine an
additional 227 units right at the entrance to my neighborhood.Thank you for listening,and I hope
you have a nice day.

We really don't want to make this area any more congested then it already is, so it's my hope you
will not build these apartments.

Gentlemen,
Please add my name to the list of residents concerned about the consequences of increasing density
of population in Ocean Park and on Shore Drive.
On every warm day, on my street to the beach access cul-de-sac,traffic is already maxed.
Before existing density restrictions are waived or stretched, main roads, parking and beach access
deserve serious thought/planning and public review..
Now,we can look back and say Aeries and Rookery Ways should have been built wider.
But, about all we can do is put up signs telling drivers to fold-in side view mirrors; and; keep windows
rolled-up because there is not enough room on streets to honor 6' social spacing as cars pass.
Dedication of Pleasure House Point as a reserve should not be accepted as an excuse for increasing
density across Marlin Bay Dr.
Furthermore, in a CAT 3 storm. the whole area will be under water. Even in CAT 1, roads from the
southeast end of Marlin Bay flood.
All issues get more complicated with more people, as you all know.
Please notify me of relevant public meetings on this subject.

Good Afternoon Planning Commission Bayside District 4,
I am an home owner in the Ocean Park neighborhood. I wanted to write to you in opposition of the
potential rezoning and build of apartment complex in the Ocean Park area. I oppose the developer's
request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive/Marlin Bay from
B2-PDH1 to conditional B-4.The proposed number of apartment units is a high number and recently
there have already been new developments of condos just past that location as well as new homes
on Chesterfield and other areas within Ocean Park that have increased the per capita of the
neighborhood. The more recent developments are more aligned to the community without
negatively impacting the area unlike the proposed apartment complex.
The close proximity of Pleasure House Point and the Brock Center environmental area could be
negatively impacted by the population increase and an Environmental Study should be performed to
ensure this natural area is preserved and protected. The increase of traffic and car parking would be
a negative impact as well as there are current struggles already within this area as many people from
other neighborhoods park in the Ocean Park residential areas to go to the beach, many park to
utilize the paths on the preserve, and many park for boating and kayaking.The Lynnhaven boat ramp
at the corner of the Lesner bride by Piedmont Circle draws a high volume of traffic and cars parked
throughout the neighborhood. The safety of the citizens living in this area could be impacted as the
emergency response times could be decreased as a strain is placed on the Emergency Services in the
area with a higher number of people. Another safety consideration for the citizens are the already
high volume of tragic injuries and deaths related from Shore Drive traffic accidents involving
pedestrians and runners in the neighborhood.
Overall,the request is not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan. I am not opposed to
any development but want to ensure it is in line with the community and quality of life in Ocean
Park. Developments more in line with other recent developments would be better suited to the
community and quality of life established in Ocean Park.
Thank you for your time and allowing me to note my opposition to this matter.
Sincerely,
Karole Burris
Ocean Park Homeowner

To Whom It May Concern,
I am an Ocean Park homeowner since 2003. I oppose the request to increase
density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay
from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. The community density is already too high,
new construction leads to flooding of existing structures, Shore Drive is a
continual danger for traffic and pedestrians, and our quality of life is constantly
challenged by visitors and renters that have no real connection to the
neighborhood.
With Sincere Interest,

I am a 30+year resident of Ocean Park and am alarmed that there is yet another scheme that
will add to the traffic and parking density along Shore Drive DESPITE EXISTING ZONING AND
PUBLISHED PLANS. As well as stretch emergency and other city resources. Thank goodness
there is a median along Shore Drive or no one would ever get across at an intersection with no
traffic light as it is, much less if this development takes place.
Remember the "Save Shore Drive" campaign of a few years ago. Please reconsider this ill-
conceived proposal and let unfortunately inevitable at least follow existing plans and common
sense.

Mayor Dyer,VB Planning Commission District 4, and VB City Council:
Please listen to and truly hear the current residents' concerns of the development of a high
density residential apartment complex in the already crowded Ocean Park neighborhood.
My husband and I rented in this neighborhood for over several years before we purchased our
home last year. In the relatively short time we've lived here we have witnessed the rapid
conversion to duplex style homes on single lots, development of the little remaining land, and
the addition of several townhomes. I get it. It's a great neighborhood and obviously everyone
knows it.
However, we have current issues related to past development projects that I fear may be
exacerbated by the addition of a large apartment complex.
FLOODING: The roadway flooding issues along Shore Drive are well known. The current
drainage system is overwhelmed regularly with moderate rain events and any amount of storm
surge. Our yard, as well as the yards of 4 immediate neighbors, floods due to the area's
inadequate drainage system. My long time neighbors tell me this only became a problem after
the development of Three Ships Landing. The potential impacts were not communicated to the
current residents prior to development. What steps are being taken to mitigate the significant
increase of impervious surfaces that will dramatically increase run off into our already
inadequate storm water system?
TRAFFIC: Although the completion of the Lesner Bridge project has improved traffic flow on
Shore Drive by the elimination of constantly blocked travel lanes, we still frequently
experience significant backups due to volume. Adding potentially up to 500 cars to the regular
flow will increase the congestion, increase the chance of vehicle collisions and pedestrian/bike
incidents, increase the frequency of lane closures, and increase the wear and tear of the
roadway.
ROAD SURFACE QUALITY: Our neighborhood streets are in poor shape. Pot holes. Sink
holes. Root heave. Resurfacing a few of the streets last year temporarily improved the
navigation to Shore Drive for some residents,but much works is left undone. Increased
neighborhood vehicle traffic will increase the frequency and cost of needed repairs, which
already do not come timely.
PARKING: The proposed parking garage may house the apartment residents' vehicles,but
where do their guests park? Everyone who lives near the beach has friends who want to go to
the beach. And few people carry a day's worth of family beach gear on foot. They will drive
over to at least unload, if not to park. Our neighborhood already deals with blocked driveways,
knocked over mailboxes, hit and run incidents, and torn up lawns from the current level of
beach activity.Not to mention the issues of boat trailer traffic increased by the lack of parking
available at the boat launch. (That's another issue.)
BEACH CONGESTION(more importantly, it's environmental impact): The beach is and
should be open to everyone. However, maybe ongoing issues will increase with significantly
more folks using the beach on a regular basis. Trash. People and dogs climbing on the dunes.
Dog/dog and dog/person incidents. Dog waste. Human waste. Lack of rest room facilities
leads to people squating in home owner's yards. Garbage. Increased crowding of beaches will
lead to more conflicts among people which could escalate into now fights. Since the beach
replenishment project could not be funded this year we have limited beach to spread out on.
This is especially a concern now with the Covidl 9 situation. Similar issues will impact
Pleasure House Point Natural Area, a critical refuge for wildlife and migrating birds. Increased
pollution will directly affect this only recently protected area.
There are several more concerns that could be expanded upon and I hope they all are
thoroughly explored. I direct your attention to the above points and ask you to reflect on the
increased resources that will be required to adequately address them.
This is not just a"not in my back yard" issue. There are serious, long term impacts to the
approval of this project. Please consider what problems maybe created or exacerbated or
accelerated for the next generation.
Thank you for your time and hopefully thoughtful deliberation on this development project.

Mr. Landfair-
My name is Rick Kahler. I am an Ocean Park homeowner. I oppose the request to increase the
density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive from B2-PDH-1
to conditional B4. I am not opposed to any redevelopment of the parcel, but want to ensure that it
is done in accordance with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan. The proposed project will
negatively impact the community in the following ways:
• Potential impact on Pleasure House Point Conservation requires study
• Limited on street parking and spillage onto Marlin Bay Drive and the surrounding
neighborhoods
• The proposed number of units exceeds the Shore Drive overlay, Parcels of 4 acres of more
are allowed 36 units per acre,so the property can only support 108 units.
• The impact on emergency services in Ocean Park.
Thank you—

Hello, my name is Patricia Mirani and I am an Ocean Park,Virginia Beach homeowner. I have
recently become aware of a request to rezone the property on the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin
Bay Drive from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4,for the purpose of adding a 227-unit apartment
complex. I am strongly opposed to granting this request due to its impact on an already densely
populated area—schools, infrastructure and traffic,for example. I also feel it would affect my
property value in a negative way.
When I first became of aware of this possibility, my mind immediately went back some years to
when the property that is now Pleasure House Point,was in danger of being developed into a mixed
used housing development. Thankfully,that did not happen and our Community now has a beautiful
park,fishing area and environmental center to enjoy. This preserve would be right across the street
from the proposed development—consider the parking overflow there would be onto Marlin Bay
Dr., preventing people from parking to enjoy the preserve.
While I am not opposed to development of this property, I am opposed to another residential
addition here. I feel Ocean Park and the surrounded area is over-developed already. Surely there
are other options more in line with the quality of life our Community deserves.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Patricia Mirani

Developers and builders should live under the same restrictions and regulations the rest of us
do. Citizens have the impression that,with enough money,the city planners,the Planning
Board, and the City Council will do just about anything, degrading trust in the honesty and

Hello Mr.Landfair,
I am a homeowner in Ocean Park and want to voice serious concern over a developer's request to rezone our area to build a 227-unit
apartment complex at the corner of Shore Drive&Marlin Bay.
My main concerns are that this is not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan,increasing population density in an already
populated area will overwhelm our infrastructure,traffic,and emergency response units,not to mention parking along the Shore drive
corridor.I'd also like to ensure an environmental impact study is planned as this is very close to Pleasure House Point.My understanding
is that this rezoning request is well above the units per acre tolerance for our area of 108,not 227 apartment units.While I'm not
opposed to development in my area,I do want to be sure we do it responsibly and within the laws that maintain the quality of life for
people and our environment.

Dear Mayor Dyer, Mr. Shea, Mr. Landfair, Mr. Redmond, Mr.Jones and Mr.Wood.
My name is Devin West. I am a homeowner in Ocean Park. My Address is 3708 E Stratford Rd.
I oppose the request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive
from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B4. I do not oppose all development in the area, but it needs to be in
the best interest of the community and quality of life in ocean park.
• According to the Shore Dr overlay, a parcel of land of 4 acres or more can have 36 units
per acre,which is 108, not 227.
• A full environmental study needs to be performed,to determine the impact on the
Pleasure House Point Natural Area.The assertion that the project will have less
environmental impact and lower volume of runoff than the existing structures is not logical.
Further investigation is needed...
• Parking is already a problem in the area and it is likely that street parking will spill onto
marlin bay and the surrounding neighborhoods, including mine.
• The impact to emergency response, including EMS and Fire.The area is already dense
and has experienced multiple fires in recent history.As an EMS volunteer this really worries
me. I want make sure any development is fully thought out in regards to public safety.
• I do not believe this development is in line with the Virginia Beach comprehensive plan.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I know the city and its officials are under considerable
stress right now and as a resident, I appreciate the job that you are all doing.
If you have any questions,feel free to reach out to me via email or phone 757-718-1625

Dear Planning Commission Member for Bayside:
I live in the Ocean Park neighborhood for the past 58 years. I am 91 years old and I
have lived thru all the changes of Virginia Beach and Ocean Park. Our area became
very congested, our sleepy neighborhood became a party town for the weekenders
and our lifestyle deteriorated significantly.
The proposed Marlin Bay (Mega) Apartments will further destroy our neighborhood.
Our streets, shore drive and our neighborhood beach can not handle any more
residents. If we need something is more shopping for our neighborhood. We need no
more traffic and no more congestion.
As members of the planning commission you have the responsibility to maintain the
quality of life of our neighborhoods. Please do something to stop the Mega Marlin
Bay Apartments. I recognize that our neighborhood will not return to 1962 but it does
not need to become more congested and it will me nice to remain a family
neighborhood.
I am writing this email from my daughter's email account since I gave up my own
sometime ago.
Thank you for caring and planning for our City.

Good morning,
My name is Stephanie Baker, and I am a Virginia Beach native and a homeowner and resident
of the Mariners Landing neighborhood of Ocean Park for 19 years. I strongly oppose the
request to rezone land at the corner of Marlin Bay Drive and Shore Drive from B-2 PD-Hl to
B-4.
I am not opposed to development, but I want to ensure any development of that area is in line
with the current community of townhomes and the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan.
Thank you for your time,

To All,
My name is Ritch LaTulipe and I am a long-term resident of the Ocean Park neighborhood. I have
seen many changes to our area over the last 20 years. Some good,some not. I oppose the request to
increase density(Once Again in our area) and rezoning for the Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore
Drive& Marlin Bay B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. I strongly oppose any increase in density to existing
rules.
I have long envisioned retiring in my home which I have paid off several years ago. Recently with
higher taxes and major traffic increases, I fear my dream is in danger. If you have ever driven Shore
Drive at rush hour,you would understand how I feel.4 acres can have 36 unites per acre which is a
max of 108.The requested 227 is ridiculous and should under no circumstances be approved.
I implore you to consider making this decision under the premise you live in this neighborhood.
Regards,
Ritch LaTulipe

Hi Mr. Dyer, esteemed Council members, and Planning Commission representatives,
Please, no more development! The condos going up in this neighborhood already, along the
Brock, and on Shore Dr are enough!! We don't want it to become like the east side of the
Lesner on Shore.
I am an Ocean Park resident and I 100% OPPOSE the request to further increase population
densities in my neighborhood, and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Dr. &
Marlin Bay from B2 PDH-1 to conditional B-4. I'm not against development, but enough is
enough.
The parking situation is already terrible, and compounding that with emergency response, and
simply the lack of alignment with the vision of the VB comprehensive plan makes this
intensive development prospect ring more like money in the bank for a few, and zero
accountability for the ramifications and consequences in our neighborhood.
I live on Dupont Circle and this would threaten to ruin the community vibe. If you support
this, it seems that you may be more about simply making a few developers rich and ignoring
the will of the people in this area. Nobody in our area is for this, except for maybe other
developers who have already chewed away at the awesome history and tradition of the Ocean
Park community. Please make it stop.
PLEASE consider the people you serve NOW, in this neighborhood. We don't want this.
Thank you,

Good Evening,
I am a homeowner in Ocean Park. I deeply oppose the request to increase density and allow
rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive from B2-PDH-1 to Conditional B4. I do not
oppose all development in the area, but it needs to be in the best interest of the community and
quality of life in Ocean Park.
I oppose the rezoning because:
-According to the Shore Dr overlay, a parcel of land of 4 acres or more can have 36 units per
acre,which is 108, not 227.
--Parking is already a problem in the area and it is likely that street parking will spill onto
Marlin Bay and the surrounding streets in the neighborhood, including mine.
--The impact to emergency response, including EMS and Fire.The area is already dense and
has experienced multiple fires in recent history. With additional homes that needed
coverage, EMS may not be available to the homeowners in the neighborhood and access to
houses may be blocked by additional traffic on Shore Drive and in the neighborhood.
_Many units just built on the other side of the Lenser Bridge remain empty. More units are
not needed to add traffic and stress to the resources on Shore Drive.
--As a teacher in Virginia Beach, I know that schools are already overcrowded. Rezoning
could cause a huge increase in the number of students attending the local schools, affecting
the size of classes and resources given to the children of homeowners in the neighborhood.
-A full environmental study needs to be performed,to determine the impact on the Pleasure
House Point Natural Area.The assertion that the project will have less environmental impact
and lower volume of runoff than the existing structures is not logical. Further investigation is
needed...
--I do not believe this development is in line with the Virginia Beach comprehensive plan.
Thank you for the consideration of the needs of the neighborhood and Shore Drive corridor.
Sincerely,
Courtney West

I am not opposed to any development but want to ensure it is in line with this community and

Greetings,
My name is Jenny Snyder and I am a resident of Ocean Park. I am writing to oppose the
proposed development along Shore Dr and Marlin Bay in the 23455 area. I am very
concerned about the proposed density of this development as it is not in agreement with the
existing land use in our neighborhood. I feel a development of this size would significantly
change the atmosphere of our neighborhood without adding value.
My primary concern is placing such a high-density apartment building beside a nature
preserve. Virginia Beach worked very hard to preserve Pleasure House Park. It is my
family's favorite place in the city. I enjoy walking or running through the trails multiple
days a week. I take visitors there to appreciate the beauty of our city. Pleasure House Park
is a wonderful recreational space that brings value to Virginia Beach. Increasing traffic of
both vehicles and humans will have a negative impact on that space. Virginia Beach is in
the process of establishing a magnet program with the Brock Environmental Center. It
seems contradictory that the city would want to invest in environmental programs for
students while simultaneously agreeing to outrageous land use proposals just next door.
Secondly, I know the city is working to mitigate flooding. Along Shore Drive we've seen
significant growth in the number of high rise buildings. The Pearl, The Overture, and others
have already contributed to the increasing pavement and congestion along the Shore Drive
corridor. Allowing for more greenspace fits in with the strategic plan to use natural ways to
mitigate storm water and flooding issues.
I understand the development is inevitable but I urge you to stick with the existing zoning
of the space. Encourage the developer to propose solutions that fit with the neighborhood. It
would be great to see a mixed-use space that brings small businesses (restaurants, shops,
etc) alongside fewer units. Or a mix of single family and duplex style units as you see
throughout the neighborhood.
Thank you so much for your time.
Regards,
Jennifer Snyder, MPH, CHES

Dear Sirs:
I am writing in opposition to the 227-unit apartment complex proposed for the intersection of
Shore Drive and Marlin Bay.
As a resident of the Shore Drive corridor, I know first hand many of the problems this
development would exacerbate:
• Increased traffic on the third most-traveled road in the city;
• Increased foot-traffic across the third most-traveled road in the city;
• Increased noise- it is truly amazing the number of sirens once hears all day long in this
area!
• Increased noise, trash and environmental damage to the Pleasure House Point natural
area.
• Increased environmental impact to the Bay beaches--Already to be impacted by the
future massive influx of people from the Pearl at Marina Shores, the new Westminister
Canterbury addition, and the renovated hotel at Shore Drive and Great Neck Road.
And,
• Until the massive "Pearl at Marina Shores" apartment complex is fully-rented, which
could take years,the Marlin Bay complex is certainly not needed!
• The many new and renovated number of duplexes in the area raise no objections. If
housing is to be constructed at Marlin Bay, it should be these kinds of structures--
duplexes, townhouses--lower occupancy housing.
• New commercial development is preferable to additional housing.
Thank you for your careful consideration of the negative impact this apartment complex
would incur.

Dear Mr. Landfiar,
It has come to my attention, as a resident of Ocean Park, that a developer is proposing a 227
unit apartment complex at the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive.To be able to
accomplish this, the developer is proposing the rezoning of approximately 6.3 acres to B4
(Multi use, Residential & Commercial), based on information from their web site.
I have been a resident of Ocean Park for over twelve years.The proposed development is
incongruent with the existing community. The following is a specific list of reasons why I
oppose this development.
Population Density: A physical count of mail boxes was completed for Ocean Park on the
south side of Shore Drive. With ongoing construction, approximately 469 mail boxes were
counted. On the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission's website it states that Virginia
Beach has an average 2.6 persons per residence. Using the number of mail boxes and persons
per residence, the south side of Ocean Park has a population of approximately 1,219 people.
In the proposed site plan, as it is currently zoned, there are 2.17 acres of PDH1 (Residential
only) that is undeveloped. Zoning for PDH1 allows twelve units to be built per acre. If the land
parcels were to be developed as currently zoned only an additional 26 units could be built
thereby adding an additional 68 persons to the population. As zoned, this would represent an
increase in population density for the area of 5.6%.The developer is proposing the addition of
a 227 unit complex.The proposed complex would add an approximate additional 590 persons
to the population. If the proposed development goes through, Ocean Park on the south side
of Shore Drive, will have a population density increase of 48.4%. For this reason I oppose this
development!
Traffic;On the proposed development's website www.marlinbayvb.com they have included a
traffic study report. Their study is limited to only the traffic at two intersections; the
intersection of Marlin Bay Drive & Shore Drive and the intersection of Powhatan Avenue &
Shore Drive. On page 1 in the attachment these intersections are denoted as#1 and #2
respectively.To fully understand the traffic implications a more expansive view of Shore Drive
has to be considered. In the Shore Drive Corridor Plan, which was adopted by the City Council
of Virginia Beach on March 28, 2000 and includes the Shore Drive Corridor Study that was
prepared by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, a very comprehensive traffic
study was completed.The study included recommendations. At the time the study was done
in June 1999, the interchange from Shore Drive to south bound Northampton Boulevard had
a Level of Service rating of"F". Without improvements the study projected a 2020 Level of
Service rating for that interchange to be an "F". Level of Service is rated from A to F with A
being the best and F being the worst.The desired minimum Level of Service rating for any
interchange is a D. Since that study, done 20 years ago, no capacity improvements have been
made.
The study completed 20 years ago stated:
"Most accidents in the study area occurred in the vicinity of Northampton Boulevard."
"Shore Drive in the vicinity of Northampton Boulevard is the most congested section in the
study area during both the morning and afternoon peak hours."
"Extreme delays are expected to continue to occur at the interchange of Shore Drive and
Northampton Boulevard unless capacity improvements are implemented."
Taking a broader view, we also have to consider the construction of numerous multi-unit
housing complexes and condominiums during the past 10-15 years.The most recent
additions are;The Overture Apartments at Shore Drive and Page Avenue which added 172
units,The Point Chesapeake Condominiums which are being built behind the Overture adding
48 units,The Pearl Apartments which are being built near the intersection of Shore Drive and
North Great Neck Road adding 199 units. All the growth along the Shore Drive Corridor has
continued to put additional stress on the traffic problem.The proposed Marlin Bay
development will add 227 units and 410 multi-family parking spaces.The proposed
development will only continue to exacerbate a traffic problem that the City has known about
for the past 20 years. For this reason, I oppose this development!
Safetyz In general, in the Ocean Park Community, non residential parking is quite limited.
Many of the streets are narrow with dead ends. On weekends and holidays, non residents
look for anywhere they can park their vehicle both legally and illegally. At times, vehicles are
parked in a manner that would prevent a safety vehicle, such as a fire truck or ambulance, to
pass by. Having a residence on the dead end portion of Jefferson Boulevard I am very aware
of this issue.The proposed development will add 227 units and a projected 590 residents.
When those 590 residents invite all of their friends to come and enjoy the beach with them,
where are they going to park? I am not opposed to people coming and enjoying the beach.
What I am opposed to is a further increase in non resident inappropriate vehicular parking
that places residents and their homes of Ocean Park at risk. For this reason, I oppose this
development!
Zoning Ordinance: The developer proposes the rezoning of approximately 6.3 acres from
PDH1 and B2 (Commercial only) to B4. Refer to page 1 in the attachment for the proposed
site. Currently, in the proposed site there are 2.17 acres zoned PDH1 and 3.15 acres zoned B2
for a total of 5.32 acres. In order to reach the 6.3 acres the developer will have to acquire the
following streets from the City of Virginia Beach: Oceans Tides Drive—Actual, Oceans Tides
Drive— Extended (paper) and Clipper Bay Drive— Extended (paper). Refer to page 2 in the
attachment. Virginia Beach Zoning allows 36 units to be built per acre on property zoned B4.
The number of units calculation is 6.3 acres times 36 units per acre which is equal to 226.8
(6.3 x 36= 226.8) Rounding that number up means that 227 units can be built on the 6.3 acre
construction site parcel. If you look at page 3 in the attachment, in the top right corner, after
construction the existing boat sales building and parking remain. Using the VB Zoning website
I found the GIS information for the existing boat sales parcel and found that parcel to be 1.04
acres. Since I could not calculate the acreage associated with the streets I used the boat sales
parcel of 1.04 acres as a reference. If you refer to page 4 in the attachment, I cut and pasted
6 boat sales parcels and covered the area for the proposed 6.3 acre zoning change. If the
existing boat sales remain and is not part of the construction site,then the acreage associated
with that parcel cannot be included in the calculation of the number of units.The developer is
using the zoning acreage change for their calculation of units and not what the actual
construction site acreage will be which has to be less than 5.3 acres. At 5.3 acres and 36 units
per acre the total numbers would have to be approximately 191 or less.The developer's
proposal does not appear to be in compliance with the City of Virginia Beach zoning
ordinance. For this reason, I oppose this development.
Respectfully Submitted,
Jonathan Macy
Ocean Park Resident

TIMMONS GROUP Marlin Bay Apartments
City of Virginia Beach, VA 1-2
Dear Councilman,
My name is Scott Ayers, I Live in Ocean Park on property that has been in my wife's family since the
early 1930's. I have built 3 homes in the community. My daughter and her husband moved back to Va
Beach from another state to raise her family and built a new home in Ocean Park 3 years ago. I own an
office building on Shore Drive from which I run my family business.This past January after 20 years I
stepped down from my service on The Bayfront Advisory Commission. I think it's clear that Ocean Park
and the Shore Drive corridor are very special to me and my family. It's a great place with a lifestyle that
is attractive to many. Crumbling infrastructure,dangerous roadways,eroding beaches,and overbuilding
has taken its'toll. I've had to wait up to ten minutes some days just to access Shore Drive. It's time to let
Shore Drive and Ocean Park catch its breath. Let some planned and in some cases partially funded public
improvements take place.Ocean Park with the exception of some B-2 and B-4 commercial zoned
property fronting on Shore Drive has been residentially zoned and developed going back to the early
1900's. With the exception of 3 condos at the foot of the Lesner Bridge 99%of residences are single
family or duplex.There have been a couple PDH rezonings but density has not exceeded 12/acre.The
proposed Marlin Bay apartment project requires a rezoning of the consolidated property of B-2 fronting
on Shore Drive and a PDH-1( 12/acre)to 36/acre. It wasn't that long ago that the City of Virginia Beach
participated in the acquisition of Please House Point which was planned for a similar density on
buildable land. It's a park now directly across from the proposed development. On the NW corner of
Marlin Bay Drive and Shore Drive the city in cooperation with the state has sponsored the creation of a
LOVE sign/landmark. While on the BAC we often discussed the vision of Shore Drive from US 13 to
Ocean Park being a city gateway.The new fire station at Greenwell and Shore was a great start but a
217 unit 4story apartment building rising up as you descend Shore Drive from Baylake Pines is not!.The
number of Ocean Park residences located on the south side of Shore Drive would increase by almost
50% if the proposed apartments are approved.The community is firmly against this project as planned. I
ask that you do everything in your power to vote this project down.The community would like to see
the property developed but not as planned.The developers have indicated that if they don't get the
approval as now planned the project is economically not feasible.That may be for what they have
planned but it is no secret that the developers involved are more than able to do the right thing and
create an asset that they and the community are proud of within the existing zoning.Please do not allow
the character of this great neighborhood to change!Thank you.

Greetings,
I am a resident of the beautiful Ocean Park neighborhood.
This short message is simply to let you know that I oppose the pending request to increase
density and rezone the area at the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1
to conditional B4 for the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments. I am not opposed to development
for Virginia Beach and the Shore Drive area,but I want to make certain that it improves the
community and quality of life for everyone that is affected. That is not the case with this
proposal.

Hi, my name is Margaret Inge and I am an Ocean Park homeowner and full time
resident . I oppose the request to increase density and rezone Marlin Bay Apartments
on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4. I am not opposed all
development but I want to ensure it is in line with the community and quality of life
here.
If built as proposed, this will negatively impact Ocean Park by:
In accordance with the Shore Drive overlay a parcel of 4 acres or more can have 36
units per acre which is 108 not 227
Environmental study needs to be performed to determine the impact on PHP
Parking spilling onto Marlin Bay and surrounding neighborhoods
Emergency service response serving Ocean Park
Not in line with Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan
Please don't approve this development.

Dear Mr. Landfair,
My name is Jeff Kimball and I have been an Ocean Park homeowner since 1995. I
strongly oppose the request to rezone the property at Shore Drive at Marlin Bay from
B2/PDH1 to conditional B4. I am not opposed to all development, but the Marlin Bay
proposal's increased density would negatively impact quality of life for current residents of
Ocean Park for the reasons listed below:
-Environmental impact of Pleasure House Point and adjacent tidal waters.
-Parking spilling over onto Marlin Bay and adjacent side streets (proposed parking plan
inadequate for the number of units).
-Pedestrian traffic crossing Shore Drive for beach access.
- Impact to emergency services and infrastructure in Ocean Park.
-Not in line with Shore Drive vision or Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan.
-DENSITY IS TOO HIGH.
The original zoning for that parcel of land exists for a reason. Simply stated, the density of
this project is too high and is not congruent with the character of Ocean Park. A development
such as Three Ships Landing with single family homes and/or duplexes would avoid the
negative aspects listed above.
Please listen to the residents of Ocean Park, not the developers.
Sincerely,
Peter J. (Jeff) Kimball

Hello:
My name is Edward Jacobs and I live and am a homeowner at 2204 Sunvista Dr., VB 23455. I
am writing to oppose the request to rezone Marlin Bay Apartments from B2-PDH-1 to
conditional B-4.The proposed 227-unit addition to an already crowed area would vastly
increase population density and traffic in my neighborhood, which are both already extreme,
especially in the summer months. I understand the need for development so that others can
share the pleasures I enjoy, but a development of this size would, in my experience as a 21-
year resident here, greatly degrade the community and quality of life in our neighborhood.
Please oppose this proposed rezoning.
Thank you very much.

Dear Mayor Dyer,Virginia Beach Planning Commission Members, and City Council.
My Name is Rebecca Soldwisch and I am an Ocean Park homeowner. I'm writing because I
strongly OPPOSE the request before you to rezone the property at the corner of Shore Drive
and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4. Rezoning this parcel in order to build
apartments will undoubtedly increase the density and simultaneously decrease the quality of
life in my neighborhood. It is disturbing and disappointing to see a development of this size
proposed for this site. It is too big,is not in harmony with the vibe of the community overall
and will only serve to bring more traffic(vehicular and pedestrian)to an area already
experiencing it's fair share.
It seems-- especially at this moment in time when we are living through a pandemic--that the
proposal to build these apartments is at odds with what is most precious and rare and that is
space; it is a horrible time to stack so many people on top of one another. Progress is
necessary, and I am aware this site should have more purpose than it currently has now,but it
should be thoughtful, engage the community,and uphold current zoning(the sole purpose of
which is to prevent outsized,nonconforming development). It is my hope that you will reject
the request to rezone this property and encourage the owners and developers to devise a usage
plan that better fits the zoning and interests of the community at large. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Soldwisch

too much for this neighborhood. I am not opposed to any development but want to ensure it

There is also an opportunity to expand the outstanding focus on nature that nearby Pleasure
House Point affords Virginia Beach residents such as providing green space and an extended

Gentleman:
My name is Ann Bennis and I am a longtime resident of Ocean
Park. I am also a registered voter and I act on that privilege at
every opportunity.
I am writing to you to OPPOSE the request by Marlin Bay
Apartments to increase density from B2-PDH-1 to conditional
B-4. My concerns are that the proposed apartments more
than double the accepted standard for units per acre. HIGH
DENSITY is not in the best interest of my community. I am
concerned about the environmental impact the building will
have on PLEASURE HOUSE POINT which is an asset to our City
and must be protected. I am seriously concerned about the
PARKING ISSUES this density will create for PHP and the
surrounding neighborhoods. There will also be a SIGNIFICANT
BURDEN on our EMS/FIRE Services. I respect long term
planning and progress for our City, however, approving this
change is NOT IN COMPLIANCE with our approve VIRGINIA
BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I understand that the City and the citizens would benefit by
more revenue. However, it should be in line with the stated
community values and SUPPORT not ERODE the quality of life
we enjoy.
Thank you for representing my concerns in this matter.

Good Afternoon Planning Commission Bayside District 4,
I am an home owner in the Ocean Park neighborhood. I wanted to write to you in opposition of the
potential rezoning and build of apartment complex in the Ocean Park area. I oppose the developer's
request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive/Marlin Bay from
B2-PDH1 to conditional B-4.The proposed number of apartment units is a high number and recently
there have already been new developments of condos just past that location as well as new homes
on Chesterfield and other areas within Ocean Park that have increased the per capita of the
neighborhood. The more recent developments are more aligned to the community without
negatively impacting the area unlike the proposed apartment complex.
The close proximity of Pleasure House Point and the Brock Center environmental area could be
negatively impacted by the population increase and an Environmental Study should be performed to
ensure this natural area is preserved and protected. The increase of traffic and car parking would be
a negative impact as well as there are current struggles already within this area as many people from
other neighborhoods park in the Ocean Park residential areas to go to the beach, many park to
utilize the paths on the preserve, and many park for boating and kayaking.The Lynnhaven boat ramp
at the corner of the Lesner bride by Piedmont Circle draws a high volume of traffic and cars parked
throughout the neighborhood. The safety of the citizens living in this area could be impacted as the
emergency response times could be decreased as a strain is placed on the Emergency Services in the
area with a higher number of people. Another safety consideration for the citizens are the already
high volume of tragic injuries and deaths related from Shore Drive traffic accidents involving
pedestrians and runners in the neighborhood.
Overall,the request is not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan. I am not opposed to
any development but want to ensure it is in line with the community and quality of life in Ocean
Park. Developments more in line with other recent developments would be better suited to the
community and quality of life established in Ocean Park.
Thank you for your time and allowing me to note my opposition to this matter.
Sincerely,
Karole Burris

I would never have bought a home in this area had I known the city would consider such an unwarranted,
oversized rezoning.
Please do not support such drastic overdevelopment. If not now, when social distancing has become an
important way of life, will zoning bodies and developers learn to adopt to the future of providing people
appropriate space and density.

I am writing today to oppose the request for increased density and rezoning for the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments at
the corner of Shore Drive& Marlin Bay. Rezoning is being requested from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. It is unrealistic to
oppose all development, but I would like to encourage you to oppose this change so that we can protect the
neighborhoods' density, property values and thus the city's tax base. I would like to see LESS DENSITY which would allow
a HIGHER PRICE POINT per unit,which would help maintain and ultimately increase property values in the surrounding
area.As a citizen of Ocean Park, it is very important that I protect the largest investment I will ever make in my lifetime.
Will you,as our city officials, please listen to the voices of your constituents, and oppose this change for the good of the
neighborhood.
Your time and thoughtfulness in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Mr. Landfair,
Hello, my name is Sherri Walton. My husband Andrew and I own a home in Ocean Park. We
completely oppose the request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on
Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. We are not opposed to any
development but want to insure it is in line with the community and quality of life here.
We live in Ocean Park on Shore Drive just over the Lesner Bridge. This is truly the one part if
Shore Drive that is 100% a gem of family life. We all are out walking and riding bikes,
happily supporting Pleasure House Point. We love the businesses we have in our area now.
I email because there is a change in zoning wanted by a developer for rezoning on Marlin Bay
and Shore Drive. The current parcel of land is zoned for 36 units per acre which would give
the developer 108 units not the 227 he proposes. 108 units would still be a great development
for the developer and would give him the chance to get the needed parking in his
development. There are already parking issues in the area especially on weekends. The
developer did not even plan enough parking for his units. Every unit needs parking for 2 cars
plus extra parking for additional bedrooms. The 4 bedroom next to us has 4 cars. This is very
typical of every home or condo in our area. There has been no environmental study for
determining the impact on Pleasure House Point. Emergency service response for Ocean Park
will be great changed.
This is truly not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan.

Hi, my name is Sean King. I am a homeowner in Ocean Park. I have major concerns about the
development of the Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive& Marline Bay. The area already suffers from
flooding and each new development has made the flooding issue worse. I am opposed to the request to
increase the density and rezoning of the apartments from D2-PDH1 to conditional B-4. I am not opposed
to any development but I want to ensure that it is in line with the community and quality of life here.
If you would like to talk more about this issue, I am available to chat. Thanks.

Hello my name is Austin Madden,I am an Ocean Park homeowner and oppose the request to
increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay
from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. I am not opposed to any development, I would rather see
mixed use residential/retail. The amount of units they want to put there would
negatively affect the quality of life in our neighborhood.The amount of traffic,on street
parking, and the building of a parking garage with nowhere near the needed number of parking
spots for their residents will turn Marlin Bay Drive into a parking lot.

Good afternoon gentleman,
I am corresponding to you in regards to the developers request for increased density and
rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay.
As a home owner in Ocean Park, I oppose the request to increase density and rezoning for the
Marlin Bay Apartments from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4 for the following reasons.
• What would be the environmental impact on Please House Point?
• In accordance with the Shore Drive overlay, a parcel of 4 acres or more can have 36
units per acre which is 108, not 227.
• Parking spillage likely on to Marlin Dr and surrounding neighborhoods.
• This apartment complex is not in line with the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan.
• Emergency service response serving Ocean Park, would be greatly impacted.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello,
My name is Patrick Bonar. and I am an Ocean Park homeowner. I oppose the request to
increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive&Marlin Bay from
B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. I am not opposed to any development but want to ensure it is in
line with the community and quality of life here. If this rezoning is approved, I will tell you
that you can expect me and my family who also live off of Shore Drive,very close by,to
attend any and all public meetings related to this rezoning and development,and we will voice
our opposition loudly. I would be happy to discuss this issue further with you in person if you
are actually open to the perspective of a homeowner who lives near the proposed site. My
address is 3818 Marlin Bay Court,I access Shore Drive on the same intersection that the
proposed development would be built upon. I look forward to an open and honest discussion
on this issue. I want to reiterate that I am not opposed to all possible development on this site,
or anywhere for that matter. I want my neighborhood to be upscale,classy and respectable. I
would only like to voice my opinion and concern about this proposition because of the large
increase in density(and therefore traffic). Our speed limit has already been lowered, I do not
want an additional increase in commute time due to increased local traffic, summer tourist
traffic already adds 5-10 minutes to my commute, I cannot imagine an additional 227 units
right at the entrance to my neighborhood. Thank you for listening,and I hope you have a nice
day.

Hello,my name is Jeff Floyd. I am an Ocean Park homeowner and President of an Ocean
Park COA(Bar Harbor Condominiums). I treasure the high quality of life and
recreational opportunities that this neighborhood provides to existing residents and visitors
alike.
High traffic volume and scarcity of parking are already problematic within Ocean Park. As I
suspect many of you are aware, Ocean Park along with Pleasure House Point natural area,is a
popular recreational destination for locals and tourists alike. Walking,biking,birding,boating,
fishing, swimming and dining are enjoyed by residents, local and non-local visitors. If
227 apartments are permitted and constructed at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay, I fear that the
current Ocean Park environment and experience will be degraded for all.
I assume that thoughtful and strategic urban planning policy and process from the City of
Virginia Beach's elected officials and professional staff are the norm. As related to Marlin Bay
apartments,what consideration has been given to protect the interests of current property
owners and residents?And what actions are planned to be sure ample(and balanced)public
access to a very desirable part of the city continues?
Considering that a 227-unit apartment complex will require rezoning,and will result in an
additional 500-600 residents and maybe 400 cars...
What due diligence is underway to assess impacts to infrastructure,public services and
environment?What investments are planned by the developer and/or the City of Virginia
Beach to mitigate impacts found in due diligence?How will this investment be funded?
What are the long-term benefits envisioned as a result of constructing the Marlin Bay
apartments? How do the Marlin Bay plans and vision align with the Virginia Beach
Comprehensive Plan?
There are numerous recent red flags that even the current neighborhood density and visitor
combination are proving too much.A few examples are 1)the disastrous Memorial Day 2019
"Floatilla" 2)routine traffic jams in the neighborhood due to reduced parking capacity at the
public boat ramp 3) litter and crowded trails within PHP and 4)numerous pedestrian deaths
over the years.
I assure you that I am not a NIMBY-type. I am a fmance executive at a large construction
firm. I am very familiar with the development and construction process in both the public and
commercial spaces. The questions posed and concerns I've shared are legitimate and I look
forward to informative and thoughtful responses.

Jeffrey K. Floyd

Good afternoon,
My name is Mike Skowronski, and I am an Ocean Park resident. I oppose the request to
increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay
from B2- PDH -1 to conditional B-4. I am not opposed to any development but want to ensure
it is in line with the community and quality of life here.
The Shore Drive Overlay max of 36 Units per Acre shall never be exceeded.
The impact to PHP shall be studied and published.
Parking shall be planned as to not impact Marlin Bay.
Thank you for your consideration to this matter.
Sincerely,
Mike Skowronski

Mr Landfair
I am an Ocean Park homeowner living on Jefferson Blvd in the 23455 zip code. I read extensively
about the proposed request to rezone and increase density to accommodate the Marlin Bay
Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay. As someone that frequently crosses and drives along
Shore Dr I am 100% against increasing the pressure on this street with the proposed plan for this
apartment building's associated traffic and pedestrian headaches.
The 'trail' the developer proposes feels more insulting than an actual effort to improve the area,
and appears to be more of a sound &visual barrier for the complex than a genuine gesture as
their presentation suggests.
I am not opposed to all development and the current boat trailer storage is somewhat of an
eyesore, but surely there are better options than to give 'carte blanche' to an obvious aggravated
traffic and population worry for this amazing area of the city.
The traffic impact study conducted in March was potentially impacted by reduced traffic due to
COVID, and does not consider the new light along Shore Dr which has caused a decrease in fluid
traffic flow. On busy days in the summer, during normal work conditions, Shore Dr. Is bumper to
bumper. I find it incredulous to believe the TIS does not recognize this issue nor communicate a
concern of an additional (potential)400 vehicles at rush hour.
Virginia Beach city projects a great mix of hospitality, entertainment, beach community and great
quality of life. I feel this development as proposed will tarnish this unique neighborhood creating
far more problems than it solves, creating additional traffic issues, beach congestion and
pedestrian safety concerns without providing anything back to the community it professes to
respect.

Hello,
My name is Anne Shewan and I am a homeowner in Aeries on the Bay, part of the
Ocean Park area. I firmly oppose the request to increase density and rezone the
area by Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive. I believe that the proposed Marlin Bay
Apartments would have a significantly negative impact on our area. Please do not
grant the developer's request to rezone the area. I am very concerned about the
traffic impact. In the summer we already have difficulty with parking. I believe some of
that is to be expected living by the the Chesapeake Bay. However, if I can't leave my
house because of the fear I will lose my on street parking spot, then that is no way to
live. The safest thing to do is to deny the zoning request.
Thank you for considering my thoughts.

Hi, my name is Darko Hrelic and I am an Ocean Park resident. I oppose the request

from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4. I am not opposed to all development but want to

Summer/ early Fall congestion is already a challenge - all future development should
be done very thoughtfully to ensure environmental balance and integrity of the area.
A rezone simply takes things too far and is quite frankly greedy for the few at the

From: Dennis Kinzig
Subject: Marlin Bay Apartment Development
Date: May 20, 2001
I am writing to respectfully request you recommend denying the proposed rezoning proposal coming
before the Planning Commission. I'm sure you have heard all the arguments against this proposal. As a
resident of Ocean Park, I am definitely opposed. The following are some of my reasons:
This project:
Not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan
Not in compliance with Shore Drive Corridor Plan
Not allowed with current Zoning restrictions
Not approved by the Bayfront Advisory Commission
Not in compliance with the provisions of the Pleasure House Point Natural Area Comprehensive Plan
previously approved
All of these plans listed above were put in place to specifically protect development in the Ocean Park
neighborhood. Approving this new proposal stands in opposition to all of these intended protections.
We've purchased our homes here because it is a special neighborhood,as you know,and with the
understanding that Virginia Beach officials would continue to maintain the character it represents. We
pay higher taxes for the privilege to live here which are used to pay the salaries of city officials we trust
will preserve it. And we vote for representatives whom we presume will protect our families and our
investment.
The area is already been adversely impacted with major traffic increases(which last few weeks included
a fatal accident at his very corner) and accidents. Shore Drive speed limit though frequently ignored)
has already been reduced to 35 mph for a four-lane road given dense and unsafe driving. Parking
violations on residential streets continue for people seeking close beach access. Behavior of increased
pedestrian crowds on streets near or approaching beaches becomes cruder and more disrespectful
(reminiscent of"Floatopia"crowd a couple years ago).
A development of this size and scope is definitely not what we expected when bought our property in
Ocean Park. It is also not allowed by cities own zoning laws. Please support us in this effort to deny
these changes and this project. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dennis R. Kinzig

Mr. Hoa Dao
Current Planning Manager/Planning Evaluation Coordinator
2875 Sabre ST, Suite 500
Virginia Beach,VA 23452
Mr. Dao,
I am writing on behalf of the Ocean Park Civic League and the community it serves to ask that
you and the Planning Department not recommend approval of the applicant's(MP Shore,LLC)
conditional change of zoning(B-2 and PD-H1 Districts to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District)
and conditional use permitting(Multi-Family Dwellings),commonly referred to as the"Marlin
Bay Apartment Development"and located at the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive.
Multiple-family residences tend to be clustered together in large developments near other dense-
land spaces, and not in small, long-established neighborhoods,making such a proposed plan
incongruent with the limited footprint that exists within Ocean Park. The historic Ocean Park
neighborhood is composed of duplexes,townhouses and single-family homes. We have no large
multifamily development in the heart of Ocean Park. The scaling,massing and density of this
development does not fit into the historic, single-family neighborhood of Ocean Park.
The proposed apartment complex has 197 units,which averages 31.77 units per acre,more than
double the density of any recent Ocean Park development or any adjacent properties.
The proposed plan for this site is not consistent with a key priority and goal stated in the City of
Virginia Beach Department of Housing&Neighborhood Preservation's Consolidated Strategic
Plan for 2020-2025. In that plan,the VBDHNP states one of their key goals is to"Preserve and
enhance the quality and livability of the City's housing stock and neighborhoods." Simply stated,
a multiple-family residence would injure the character and quality of the historic Ocean Park
neighborhood.
As with all development within the City, it is subject to the City of Virginia Beach
Comprehensive Plan,Policy Document adopted May 17th,2016 and specifically these lots reside
within the designated Suburban Focus Areas(SFAs), Shore Drive Corridor.As such,the stated
guidance is as follows:
The planning policies that apply to the entire Shore Drive Corridor and Bayfront Communities
are:
•Preserve and protect the character of the established neighborhoods;
•Improve land use compatibilities and avoid over-commercialization to insure that resort-based
uses complement rather than dominate this corridor;
•Achieve the lowest reasonable density for future residential uses;
Other recent approved projects in Ocean Park strongly reflect this guidance from the
Comprehensive Plan. For example,the Staff Planner Recommendation for a recent project on
Shore Dr. (3746, 3744 Shore Dr.) began with this: "The proposed rezoning is consistent with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for Suburban Focus Area 1- Shore Drive Corridor
by promoting compatible infill development at a density compatible to the surrounding area. The
residential density of the proposed eight-unit development is 14.29 per acre."This development
is only several hundred feet from the current property. Another recent project on Shore Dr. at
3739 Shore Dr.,which is similarly close to the Marlin Bay property, included this statement
from the Staff Planner: "Planning policies that apply to this request include ... avoiding over-
commercialization, preserving and protecting the character of the established neighborhoods and
achieving the lowest reasonable density for future uses. (1-70-1-71). This project is the antithesis
of those statements.
The developers are requesting a rezoning to B-4 mixed and conditional use permitting; this
zoning type is intended for mixed-use retail and housing. Simply stated:
"The purpose of the B-4 Mixed Use District is to provide for retail and commercial service
facilities and residential uses in those areas of the city where a mixture of such uses is desirable
and recommended by the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. "
The inclusion of an existing retail boat sales business makes the zoning change possible, but this
retail is not `integrated' into the Marlin Bay Apartment project as specified in the zoning
language-as evident by the intervening roadway between the new construction residential
building and existing commercial building as depicted in the developers site drawings. As
defined by the City of Virginia Beach code (Virginia Beach,Virginia- Code of Ordinances
APPENDIX A -ZONING ORDINANCE ARTICLE 1. -GENERAL PROVISIONS Sec. 111. -
Definitions.:
"Mixed use. Two (2) or more separate uses allowed as principal or conditional uses
that are physically and functionally integrated with the same structure on one (1)
zoning lot: "
Additionally,the inclusion of proffers to negate any further residential development of the
existing commercial lot does not preclude such events in the future as recently transacted by the
Marina Shores Apartment Expansion and approved by the City Council.
Other recent projects within the community have been rezoned to B-4, but at much lower
density: 14.29 apartments per acre, not 31.77 per acre or the de facto 46 per acre as outlined
within the Marlin Bay development proposal. These other rezoned lots have been rezoned from
B-2 (retail)to B4 (mixed use), not PDH1-to B-4.
Furthermore, it CRITICAL to see this project for what it really is! Without the inclusion of the
non-conforming existing commercial lot,the scope and density are in reality 197 units on
approximately 4 acres at the astounding density of 46 units per acre.
While we are not opposed to appropriate development on these lots, we have significant
concerns regarding the improper rezoning and conditional use permitting. It would allow for
permanent and precedent setting development of high-density multiple-family residences
destroying the nature and character of the community. This is particularly alarming because these
lots sit adjacent to the City's crown jewel,Pleasurehouse Point Natural Area. The city
owned natural area,118 acres of water,tidal marsh, sandy shores and maritime forest,has been
preserved as one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land on the Lynnhaven River.
Furthermore,the Comprehensive Plan provides granular guidance for any development:
This Suburban Focus Area has three sub-areas that, due to unique issues and/or opportunities,
require further guidance. The following sections provide specific planning guidance for each.
SFA 1.1—PLEASURE HOUSE POINT
•Ensure that any development in the surrounding area is complementary with regard to both
design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided by Pleasure
House Point.
The Ocean Park Civic League has and hopes to continue working with the owners and
developers to find an appropriate use for these lots.After our only meeting with the developers
and subsequent feedback,the plans were revised to lower only part of one wing to 3 stories on
Shore Drive frontage. The larger 4 story residence and 4.5 story parking garage still tower over
the adjacent Mariners Landing town homes. Unfortunately,the gap between a reasonable
accommodation and the plans submitted remains far too wide.
Mr. Dao, on behalf of the Ocean Park Civic League, and the vast majority of the Ocean Park
community, I am asking you to RECOMMEND AGAINST the Marlin Bay Apartment proposal
zoning request. Our residents have spoken out against this as a community time and again-most
recently at the Bayfront Advisory Commission,in which the BAC board members denied the
developers support for their proposal to build in Ocean Park. In addition,the Shore Drive
Community Coalition unanimously adopted a resolution to oppose the project.
We are confident you understand and agree with our significant concerns about this proposed
rezoning and conditional use permitting and ask you to honor the City's Comprehensive Plan,
specifically the Shore Drive Corridor Plan Specifically Shore Drive Corridor SFA
by recommending against this zoning request by the Marlin Bay developers on June 9th.

Danny Murphy,President

Mr. Dao,
I wanted to start the conversation about the Marlin Bay Apartments that is being proposed by the Peterson Developers
for the Mckleskey and Browning family.
It has not been presented to planning yet.
As a community we support development that fits with the Shore Drive Plan.And our community in Ocean Park are
single family homes or townhomes and we would like to support that same type of development. Not only is an
apartment complex not congruent with our community it is not what can be zoned in that lot.This would require a
zoning change which is what our community opposes.We would like you to support us in opposing the rezoning and
asking the developers to come up with a plan that is congruent with our neighborhood and within the current zoning.
Thank you,

Good morning,
Please consider my opposition to the Marlin Bay Development.
Wth good reason,we have existing zoning and city planning guidelines that include townhouses, duplexes, and single-family homes. I
oppose rezoning the property for high-density family homes. Virginia Beach is over-crowded already.

To Whom it May Concern:
Yesterday, a flyer was placed throughout our neighborhood highlighting benefits of the proposed apartment complex
for Marlin Bay.
Let us be very clear, many of those same benefits could also be accomplished through the building of more townhomes.
We are not against a development of the proposed site. We are opposed to a large scale apartment complex.
Currently,there is a massive housing shortage (more than 4 million in our country). Let's have developers build more
homes for our community members, which citizens want more of.
Look at the 6 duplexes that were recently built on Chesterfield. More than $3 million dollars worth of property was sold
very quickly and didn't detract from the neighborhood vibe that we desperately do not want to lose.
Thank you for your time.

As a 10-year resident of Ocean Tides Drive, and in very close proximity to the proposed Marlin
Bay apartment development, I am writing to ask for your support in opposing the proposed
rezoning and development at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B-2/PDH-1 to a conditional B-4
zone. While I am not opposed to all future development on this site, I do have significant
concerns regarding the type of rezoning being proposed for the Marlin Bay development:
• This type of apartment complex does not fit into the historic neighborhood of single
family homes, duplexes, and townhomes that is Ocean Park
• Large apartment complexes are clustered together near other dense-land spaces, not
in small, long-established neighborhoods, making such a proposed plan incongruent
with the limited footprint that exists within Ocean Park
1
• Once the property is rezoned, the developers could further develop the property. The
parcels are not under one ownership. If the Boat Sale parcel segregates itself, it could
be redeveloped as a separate parcel.
• My opposition is also based on these probable negative effects:
o the loss of neighborhood and community character I have enjoyed for over 20
years
o a decrease in the market value of my home
O overcrowding on our neighboring Chesapeake Bay beach which is already
very narrow
o increased traffic congestion, adding to an already dangerous Shore Drive
corridor
I appreciate your support of local voices in preserving our community.
Very respectfully,

Mr. Dao,
We are emailing you to tell you that we oppose rezoning and the current planned development of the property at Shore
Drive and Marlin Bay Drive. We agree with Ocean Park Civic League's position and concerns with rezoning and
subsequent development of the property with a very high density large, multi-story apartment complex.
We moved to Ocean Park approximately 4 years ago because we fell in love with Shore Drive and the special features of
Ocean Park neighborhood and Pleasure House Point Natural Area. Ocean Park is a small community with a wonderful
neighborhood feeling with mostly duplexes,townhouses, and single-family homes-although crossing Shore Drive can
be a challenge (many cars and cars going too fast), we love being able to walk to the beach on the Bay and walking in our
neighborhood.
Our greatest concern with rezoning and the proposed apartment complex is that it will destroy the wonderful features
of our neighborhood by building a large apartment building with too many units, adding too many people to a small
area.
We think the property should not be rezoned and that any development should be consistent with a low density goal for
this area and that is complementary with the neighborhood and nearby Pleasure House Point Natural Area.
We plan to attend the June 9 Planning Commission meeting to stand with Ocean Park Civic League in our opposition to
rezoning and planned apartment complex.

Good morning,
I oppose the Marlin Bay Development. It should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning and city planning
guidelines to include townhouses, duplexes and single family homes. I oppose rezoning the property for high-density
family homes.
We believe the massive scale of the development will fundamentally change the character of our neighborhood. We also
believe it will set a terrible precedent by allowing the development of an inappropriately high-density complex which
could open the door for more similar projects in the future.
Sincerely,
Ruth Meijer

Mr. Dao,
We oppose the development of the Marlin Bay project on Shore Dr. The high density housing will compromise the
integrity and security of our neighborhood. Our beaches are already overcrowded and losing ground due to
erosion. The warmer quality in our bay will be negatively impacted due to run off and increased activity around our
marshes and watershed. Please vote NO to Marlin Bay project.
Respectfully,
Princess Norris

Dear Mr. Dao:
As a long time resident and previous business owner in Ocean Park, I appeal to you to vote NO to the proposed zoning
change and approval of Marlin Bay Apartment Development.
The magnitude of this development would not be cohesive with the current neighborhood and would have a negative
impact on the community.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I'm writing you to support a NO VOTE to the conditional rezoning of two properties that would
encourage support for the Marlin Bay apartment projects high density. There's something inherently
wrong with a plan that allows an adjacent property to be used as leverage for the property next door
to get higher density as in the case of Marlin Bay Apartments. What does the Lynnhaven Marine
property really have to do with the project? I'm sure there's something going on behind the curtain.
I'm not against an apartment complex, but this project goes against what our city leaders have
committed too in terms of protecting our neighborhoods from higher density housing.
I just hope the Planning Commission votes based on what they know is right, which is a NO VOTE to
the proposal currently on the table for Marlin Bay Apartments.

Mr. Dao,
As a 10-year resident of Ocean Tides Drive, and in very close proximity to the proposed Marlin Bay apartment
development, I am writing to ask for your support in opposing the proposed rezoning and development at
Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B-2/PDH-1 to a conditional B-4 zone. While I am not opposed to all future
development on this site, I do have significant concerns regarding the type of rezoning being proposed for the
Marlin Bay development:
•This type of apartment complex does not fit into the historic neighborhood of single family homes,
duplexes, and townhomes that is Ocean Park
•Large apartment complexes are clustered together near other dense-land spaces, not in small, long-
established neighborhoods, making such a proposed plan incongruent with the limited footprint that
exists within Ocean Park
•Once the property is rezoned, the developers could further develop the property. The parcels are not
under one ownership. If the Boat Sale parcel segregates itself, it could be redeveloped as a separate
parcel.
• My opposition is also based on these probable negative effects:
othe loss of neighborhood and community character I have enjoyed for over 20 years
oa decrease in the market value of my home
oovercrowding on our neighboring Chesapeake Bay beach which is already very narrow
oincreased traffic congestion, adding to an already dangerous Shore Drive corridor
I appreciate your support of local voices in preserving our community.
Very respectfully,
Reid Baker
Ocean Park resident of Ocean Tides Drive

I have been a homeowner in Mariners Landing townhomes since November 2000 and strongly disapprove of yet another
apartment complex in Virginia Beach off of Shore Drive. Below are the reasons why:
-The homes in this area are 2-story with a few 3-story scattered about. The building and 4 1/2 story parking garage will
be an eyesore in this area.
-This apartment complex has 197 units which averages 31.77 units per acre which is more than double the density of
any Ocean Park development and other recent projects have been rezoned to B4, 14.29 apartments per acre.
- The residents of the apartment complex will have quests or multiple cars and will park up and down Marlin Bay Drive
and within Mariners Landing which will cause parking problems. Right now parking is a problem because of limited
parking on the street. We have problems with people parking all through the neighborhood to go to the beach in
addition to school busses parking on Marlin Bay.
I understand that the Bayfront Advisory Commission did NOT approve of this apartment complex and it IS NOT in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan. It just DOES NOT make any sense to
approve this apartment complex and will definitely affect our wonderful small neighborhood by causing traffic, parking,
stormwater runoff, natural and cultural resources.
Please disapprove of this project.

Dear City Planning Commission,
As a resident of Ocean Park since 2012, I strongly oppose the current planning commission
application to change the zoning requirements for the Marlin Bay Apartments project.
I and many residents of Ocean Park absolutely want this property to be developed. It has been an
eye sore for years due to the neglect of the current owners (who are behind the current proposal and
stand to make a lot of money in residual income to the detriment of the residents of Shore
Drive). Marlin Bay Apartments is NOT the answer. We need to elevate
shore drive, make it desirable, protect our natural resources and take pride
in our community along the Chesapeake Bay.
There are a multitude of reasons to oppose the Marlin Bay project.
1) The increased vehicular traffic along Shore Drive which is already clogged with traffic- Several
years ago the speed limit was decreased to 35 mph due to many unfortunate accidents that occurred
along Shore Drive. Now you are being asked to approved an apartment community that would
increase vehicular traffic on a heavily travelled road that backs up regularly due to accidents and
already puts the lives of Shore Drive residents and visitors at risk.
(2) With 197 units the area would be looking at approximately 512 more people (there are on average
2.6 people per residence in VB). If there are 2 cars per unit on average that is 394 more cars!!!
(3) The proposed apartment complex averages 31.77 units per acre, more than double the density of
any recent Ocean Park development or any adjacent properties.
(4) The current lots at the proposed Marlin Bay site are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. The proposed
"Conditional Use" change to B-4 Mixed Use zoning is inappropriate, as it is intended for combined
retail and housing. The inclusion of an existing retail boat sales business makes the zoning change
possible, but this retail is not "integrated" into the project as specified in the zoning language.
(5) Other recent projects have been rezoned to B-4, but at a much lower density: 14.29 apartments
per acre for example, not 31.77 per acre. These have been rezoned from B2 (retail) to B4 (mixed
use), not PDH1 to B4.
i
(6) This project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor
Plan. Both plans were adopted by the City Council and specify a goal of LOW DENSITY as a goal for
this area. The density of this project assures adverse cascading impacts to traffic, parking, storm
water runoff, natural and cultural resources.
(7) The Bayfront Advisory Commission, appointed by the City Council, DID NOT APPROVE THE
PROJECT.
(8) The project would sit directly adjacent to Pleasure House Point Natural Area. If you haven't been
there, go see for yourself the 118 acres of water, tidal marsh, sandy shores and maritime forest. The
Comprehensive Plan provides specific planning guidance to "ensure that any development in the
surrounding area is complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource
and open space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point." I do not see where this
apartment complex would be a complement to this beautiful, tranquil natural area that was
saved by our city.
I ask that you please strongly consider the opposition from me and the other residents of Ocean Park
when making such an important decision that will forever impact the beauty and culture of this
community that I love so much!
Kindly,
Kristie Weaver

Mr. Dao and City Planners,
As a property owner directly adjacent to the proposed development since 1997, I have been attentive to
the proposal by the developers over the past year. I do not believe the proposed development is in
compliance with the Shore Drive/Bayfront Comprehensive Plan and have found fault with the
statements made by the developer regarding the end product. I'm also interested to know what the city
will receive in exchange for the city-owned paper streets and existing public green space that this plan
will take from the Mariners Landing neighborhood.
1
The developer stated to me, and to others that I am aware of,that they will remove every last tree from
another property they own adjacent to the Brock Environmental Center if the community doesn't get
behind this proposal. It would be an unfortunate education for the new students at the Brock Center to
watch that happen. They also said they will build 4 homes on the north side of Pleasure House Point
because their site plans have already been approved by the city. From all accounts,the Ocean Park
community has never expressed they would object to the property being improved upon and recognize
a landowner's property rights to maximize their profit. But these stakeholders know cognitively that
changing the zoning of this parcel, as defined in this proposal,will have a negative impact on the
neighborhood,surrounding community,and this section of Shore Drive.The Shore Drive/Bayfront
Corridor directive in the Comprehensive Plan states the intent of the City is to"Achieve the lowest
reasonable density for future residential uses."
It is not missed on this resident,that the Windsong Apartment playbook was used in this proposal,with
a unit reduction of 13%,a private Traffic Study paid for by the developers to say there will be no impact,
and a claim that storm-water improvements will be made.The difference the Planning Commission will
have to overcome however is that this area has never had apartments and has no capacity for road
expansion as stated in the Shore Drive Phase IV CIP 2-188. In addition, it includes removing city-owned
property at the intersection of Clipper Bay and Ocean Tides Drives that has been used as an unofficial
dog park for decades. The Comprehensive Plan specifies that the city will "Preserve and protect the
character of the established neighborhoods."
In the FAQs on the developers website,they start by indicating that they are providing adequate parking
for the project with their parking garage.Their flyer indicates 1.82 spaces per unit,whereas they have
1,2,and 3 bedroom units. Their plan starts with inadequate parking for the density. Currently,the curb
on the west side of Marlin Bay fills up with visitors to Pleasure House Point.The Marlin Bay Apartment
residents and their guests will park on the east side,and then move into Mariners Landing from
there. Mariners Landing residents currently park along the curb at the green space of Ocean Park and
Clipper Bay as well as on the curbs of their streets.There will therefore be a loss of parking available to
both the visitors to Pleasure House Point as well as the existing residents of Mariners Landing.
This stretch of road from Marlin Bay to E. Stratford Rd is already funded for sidewalk improvements to
start in 2023 to the tune of$14M. So the developer's statement#2 in their FAQ that they are improving
the pedestrian path on Shore Dr misrepresents who is paying for that improvement,which is the city tax
payers. It appears they are simply planting and providing green space around the city's multiuse path to
beautiful their project.
The statement that they will use environmentally-friendly practices in their project(FAQ#3) is
commendable but also a requirement of the city regulations. And as addressed by John Moss in the
June 1 City Council meeting,there is no capacity in the city's budget to oversee or enforce the on-going
compliance to this promise.
In their FAQs they point to the response from The Timmons Group,which is the same company hired by
Windsong Apartments to infer that increased population will not have an impact on the traffic by stating
they will maintain their"current level of service."About 10 years ago, a traffic study was done at this
Marlin Bay/Shore Drive intersection and the statement was made by the officer that it is one of the
most dangerous intersections in this corridor. There have been several residents that witness people
running the new E.Stratford light combination because it is confusing to the eye. Every member of this
Planning Department and Commission knows how deadly Shore Drive is,with the latest fatality on April
21'of this year.The city chose to remove the Fatality Signs but are still working hard to improve
visibility and safety and this Project, in it's current density,will only profoundly increase the risk to
pedestrians.
2
The 5th FAQ statement is that this property has been continuously privately-owned,which is not
accurate.The property is currently and historically divided by city-owned paper streets. In order to
develop to this magnitude,the city must agree to relinquish property rights that have been in place.
That property has historically been a benefit to the Mariners Landing community with green space for
dog walks. This proposal removes public green space for this neighborhood.
Finally,the developers state that they are providing more pervious surface than the two parcels
currently have. I have attached my rather gross aerial image of the property with sketches of the
proposal. The west section (trailer lot) is almost entirely pervious gravel and sand,as is the central area
(boat lot).There will be 3-4 story buildings and a pool, neither of which can be pervious. There are non-
soil pervious areas possible,such as outside the pool deck perimeter and along paths, but one can visibly
recognize that this land will not be less impervious than it is in its current state.This is directly opposite
of the developers statements to the community that"no green space will be lost"and "it is currently
98%impervious."Again,the Marlin Bay residents will lose access to the city-owned green space at
Ocean Tides&Clipper Bay under this project. I fully understand the water containment systems that
will be installed,which will be required if the area is developed using it's existing zoning. I do have
concerns however about the aged systems meeting up with the newer systems,thereby causing the city
additional expense to handle the increased outflow with 400 new residents and their guests. I also have
concerns about the outflow to the river during tidal events,which has breeched Shore Drive during
many recent storms. I understand the outflow drainage on Marlin Bay Dr is the only one that serves
that area which flows directly into the Lynnhaven River. In the Comprehensive Plan,the city has
pledged to:"Provide continued support for restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay and Lynnhaven
River."And specific to Pleasure House Point:
• "Maintain and protect the significant investment that has been made to preserve
Pleasure House Point for open space,limited recreation, natural resource
preservation,and natural resource education.
• Ensure that any development in the surrounding area is complementary with regard
to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided
by Pleasure House Point."
Despite the development branding this as luxury apartments in the Gateway to Virginia Beach,this
community is an older residential neighborhood that has been burdened with an influx of tourists
without public amenities along a road segment that the city itself labeled as having no capacity for
expansion. Please consider that density is a legitimate concern, not a concept, and this current proposal
will ultimately negatively impact the residents,the environment, and the city taxpayers in the long run.
Kind regards,
Windy Crutchfield, property owner at 3837 Ocean Tides Drive

I strongly oppose the Marlin Bay Apartment Development. I am a home owner in the Ocean Park
neighborhood.
I grew up in Virginia Beach, and I moved to Colorado in the early 90's. My sister has lived in this
neighborhood, as well as, many of my direct family members ever since I left Virginia Beach. I knew if I ever
moved back to Virginia Beach, this is the neighborhood I would choose to settle down in. Growing up in the
Plaza area, surrounded by the Plaza Apartments, that brought so much crime into our neighborhood, I felt
Virginia Beach would never be a place I would ever call home again. I never wanted to feel the feeling of being
robbed,jumped walking home from school, or simply being afraid to be home alone ever again. Every time I
came home to visit from Colorado, and I walked through the Ocean Park neighborhood, I felt this sense of
community, safety and peace. I always called Ocean Park "the diamond in the rough". I chose to move back
to Virginia Beach a little over 4 years ago. I had the rare opportunity to find a rental in Ocean Park, and with a
lot of determination, my dream came true, and I was able to buy my house in Ocean Park. My house backs up
to the proposed new apartment complex development. I can honestly tell you, I would NEVER had bought this
property, or any property in Virginia Beach, if I knew that someone was planning on ruining the Ocean Park
neighborhood with an apartment complex.
The Marlin Bay Development will destroy the character of Ocean Park. Ocean Park is small, historic
community with a strong neighborhood identity. Ocean Park is composed of duplexes, townhouses and
single-family homes. A large, multi-story complex would negatively impact the identity and quality of life in
Ocean Park. Our neighborhood is unique and beloved for its character. Most of us moved here because of
that special character, which has been enshrined by the City's Comprehensive and Shore Drive Corridor Plans.
I believe that the existing properties at Marlin Bay Drive should be developed in accordance with existing
zoning and City planning guidelines to include townhouses, duplexes and single-family homes, not a large
high-density multi-family using erroneous mixed-use rezoning as the city is currently proposing. I oppose this
complex because I believe the massive scale of the development will fundamentally change the character of
the neighborhood.
The Bayfront Advisory Commission, appointed by City Council, did not approve this project. The current lots at
the proposed Marlin Bay site are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. This project is not in compliance with City's
Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan. This project would sit directly adjacent to Pleasure
House Point Natural Area which consist of 118 quiet acres of water, tidal marsh, sandy shores and maritime
forest. The Comprehensive Plan provides specific planning guidance to "ensure that any development in the
surrounding area is complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open
space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point."
I STRONGLY OPPOSE THE MARLIN BAY APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT!
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mr. Dao,
As a lifelong resident of Ocean Park since 1981 and a small business owner along Shore Drive, I
strongly oppose the current planning commission application to change the zoning requirements for
the Marlin Bay Apartments project.
ALSO as a lifelong resident of Ocean Park, I want this property to be developed. The current
owners who the developer is representing have NOT cared to make this corner look presentable for
the last 35 years. HOWEVER, Marlin Bay is not the answer. We can do better, we need to elevate
shore drive, make it desirable, protect our natural resources and take PRIDE in our culture and
community along the Chesapeake Bay. One rejection of a proposal for development in the last 35
years is not a community being difficult, its a community that cares about the character of the
community for the years to come...NOT THE RESIDUAL INCOME of their investments.
There are a multitude of reasons to oppose the Marlin Bay project, but I believe the most
egregious pertains to the city funded and developed ULI study from 1998 and the Shore Drive
Corridor plan created in 2000. The intent of creating such referenceable documentation is to allow
a community and city to focus on the bigger picture objectives of city planning. It removes
political NOISE and allows staff, appointed city officials AND ELECTED officials to understand
the INTENT of what their predecessors AND their communities found to be important and
WORTH fighting for.
For your focus area as city planner, the Marlin Bay request to change zoning is clearly outside the
parameters of the city's zoning regulations. The developer proposes the rezoning of approximately
6.3 acres from PDH 1 and B2 (Commercial only) to B4. Refer to page 1 in the attachment for the
proposed site. Currently, in the proposed site there are 2.17 acres zoned PDH1 and 3.15 acres zoned
B2 for a total of 5.32 acres. In order to reach the 6.3 acres the developer will have to acquire the
following streets from the City of Virginia Beach: Oceans Tides Drive—Actual, Oceans Tides
Drive—Extended (paper) and Clipper Bay Drive—Extended (paper). Virginia Beach Zoning
allows 36 units to be built per acre on property zoned B4. The number of units calculated is 6.3
acres times 36 units per acre which is equal to 226.8 (6.3 x 36 = 226.8) Rounding that number up
means that 227 units can be built on the 6.3 acre construction site parcel. After proposed
i
construction the existing boat sales building and parking remain. If the existing boat sales remain
and are not part of the construction site, then the acreage associated with that parcel cannot be
included in the calculation of the number of units. The developer is using the zoning acreage
change for their calculation of units and not what the actual construction site acreage will be, which
has to be less than 5.3 acres. The developer's proposal is not in compliance with the City of
Virginia Beach zoning ordinance.
The proposed conditional use change to B-4 Mixed Use Zoning is inappropriate and incongruent
with the Shore Drive Corridor plan that states it was INTENDED FOR COMBINED RETAIL
AND HOUSING. With the description from above, it is clear that Marlin Bay Apartments are
NOT combined with any sort of retail. The Shore Drive Plan and the comprehensive plan
ADOPTED BY CC, specify a goal of low density. The density details described below would not
only adversely affect the community, but all of our supporting infrastructure from roads, to parking,
to stormwater runoff, to natural and cultural resources.
Population Density: A physical count of mailboxes was completed for Ocean Park on the south
side of Shore Drive. With ongoing construction, approximately 469 mail boxes were counted. On
the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission's website it states that Virginia Beach has an
average 2.6 persons per residence. Using the number of mailboxes and persons per residence, the
south side of Ocean Park has a population of approximately 1,219 people. In the proposed site plan,
as it is currently zoned, there are 2.17 acres of PDH1 (Residential only) that is undeveloped.
Zoning for PDH1 allows twelve units to be built per acre. If the land parcels were to be developed
as currently zoned only an additional 26 units could be built thereby adding an additional 68
persons to the population. As zoned, this would represent an increase in population density for the
area of 5.6%. The developer is proposing the addition of a 197 unit complex. The proposed
complex would add an approximate additional 500 persons to the population. If the proposed
development goes through, Ocean Park on the south side of Shore Drive, will have a population
density increase of 41%.
Please go back and review the 1998 ULI Study, the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Shore Drive
Corridor Design Guidelines. By doing so, you will see that this proposal is far outside the already
agreed upon vision this community has developed.

Mr. Dao,
I am a resident of Ocean Park and active member in the Ocean Park Civic League. We've lived
in Aeries on The Bay from 2000 to 2010 and in Ocean Park since 2010. We moved here and
have stayed here due to the character of the community and the diverse yet, small
neighborhood feel. That's what makes Ocean Park such a safe and amazing place to raise a
family. Our community endured so much hardship during the COVID Pandemic. Thankfully
the Pleasure House Point Natural Area and our neighborhood served as a sanctuary for
outdoor activity to promote mental and physical well-being. Our peaceful and
environmentally conscious community has been threatened in the past. Floatopia comes to
mind; too many people in too small of a small space disrupting our otherwise peaceful
community.
The Marlin Bay Development would destroy the character of Ocean Park. This high-density
development would be double the population add of any recent Ocean Park
development. The lot & zoning was not intended for this large of a development. Shore drive
traffic currently congested & adding hundreds of more people/cars is simply too much for this
area. This project is NOT in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive
Corridor Plan. Building this large, high-density apartment complex directly adjacent to 118
quiet acres of water, tidal marsh, and maritime forest is not consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan for the Ocean Park area. This would be City Planning's version of
Floatopia; an unwanted, environmentally irresponsible, overcrowding, and traffic generating
nuisance that would demonstrate very poor judgement on the part of City Planning. We
strongly oppose this potential rezoning & development for this location.

Greetings Mr. Dao,
I am a homeowner in Ocean Park and am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed Marlin Bay
development. The developer is requesting a zoning change to allow for a higher density development than what exists in
the community. I strongly feel this will negatively impact the character and charm in our community and is unlike
existing structures in our area.
I do feel that development in that lot is beneficial, however any solutions should be consistent with the existing policies,
and therefore community. I strongly hope the council does not approve this zoning change and continue to ensure
development along the Shore Dr corridor remains consistent with the overall neighborhood.
In addition to changing the feel of our close-knit community,this development would be located directly across the
street from Pleasure House Point, a nature preserve. The density of the proposed development would dramatically
increase traffic along Marlin Bay Ave which parallels the park.The city has done a tremendous favor in preserving that
area that is already a main attraction for the area. My concern with increased residents would be higher chances for
trash, noise pollution, and other issues detrimental to the preserve.
Thank you for listening to my concerns. I hope you all will help maintain the local charm that is Ocean Park.
Respectfully,
Jenny Snyder

Hi Mr. Dao,
I'm writing to you to oppose the zoning change for the Marlin Bay apartments.
I'm a resident of Surry Road, and our home backs up to Shore Drive. We hear cars drag racing all
night long, and along Shore this month, there's been a serious car accident nearly weekly. Walking or
biking along Shore Drive already feels unsafe with our two small kids, and a project that will add
hundreds more cars to this already overburdened stretch of road seems like it will invite in more
accidents.
We love this community and would love to see it become a beacon for a walkable, sustainable
example of coastal living. Please oppose changing the zoning for the apartments, and please support
initiatives that will create a more walkable community here.
Thank you,
Kate Lewis

Mr. Dao,
My name is Jeff Deal and I currently live in Ocean Park off of Shore Drive. I'm writing to you to
express my opposition to the rezoning of Marlin Bay Apartments. I am not someone who is opposed
to new developments but Marlin Bay will create a great number of problems for our area and Virginia
Beach as a whole.
The stretch of Shore Drive we sit on already has a bad traffic problem. In the past 30 days alone
traffic has but shut down to a stand still on 2 separate occasions for long periods of time. Daily traffic
has increased over the last few years and now the new Lenar bridge shows no improvement to traffic
patterns from just a few years ago. The intersection Marlin Bay would sit on is already extremely
unsafe and adding hundreds of additional cars everyday will make it absolutely unsafe for
pedestrians, especially younger kids who cross there everyday on bikes. There have been multiple
pedestrian injuries and unfortunately fatalities. Adding hundreds of people all using this intersection
everyday with certainly up this horrible statistic. The parking provided for apartment residents in
grossly insufficient. This will leave only the street parking that the Brock center and Pleasure House
Point currently uses. They rely on that parking for their student programs. Also people from around
Virginia Beach will no longer be able to utilize Pleasure House Point because there simply will be no
parking to access it.
The Pleasure House Point/Brock Center is a phenomenal asset to Virginia Beach and we will now be
taking this amenity away from Virginia Beach residents and visitors.
The beach on shore drive has dwindled down to a mere fraction of what it once was. There is little
safe space to enjoy the beach on a regular basis and on holidays, such as 4th of July, there is not
enough beach for all of us to enjoy. The steep dunes are already crumbling and are very dangerous
for anyone who sits near them, especially children who are unfortunately drawn to them.
Our beach access recently received a poorly planned fence that narrows our access to the beach.
There are five feet of unused flat beach that are no longer able to be used. People currently cannot
safely pass through in both directions. Adding hundreds of people will create a bottle neck and most
certainly frustrations and injuries.
The environmental impact of Marlon Bay cannot be ignored either. The wild life and trails will
absolutely be negatively affected.
This is not in line with Virginia Beach's comprehensive plan. This area could certainly be better
utilized with a plan that would compliment the surrounding neighborhoods while keeping the charm of
Virginia Beach and her natural beauty.
Thank you,

Mr Dao,
I am writing you in regard to the Marlin Bay apartment development project. As A resident of Ocean
Park, I feel a development of this size in this location, would irreparably harm already overcrowded
neighborhoods of Ocean Park.
33 units per acre is more than double any other development in Ocean Park and with traffic on shore
Drive already reaching an untenable position as well as accidents on the rise because of the
congestion. Consideration of any such project should be vetoed.
This project would also sit directly adjacent to pleasure House point natural area a 118 acres of
Water, Tide-marsh, Sandy shores and Maritime forest.
Mr. Dao, I ask you to stand with The residence Ocean Park and help preserve the neighborhood.
Thank you

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am a resident and active member in the Ocean Park Neighborhood. I have been attending the various community
meetings regarding the Marlin Bay Apartment Development. We feel blessed to be raising our children in a small,
historic community with a strong sense of neighborhood identity.
The Marlin Bay Development would destroy the character of Ocean Park.The high-density alone would double the
population of any recent Ocean Park development.The lot&zoning was NOT intended for this large of a development.
Shore drive traffic currently congested &adding hundreds of more people/cars is simply TOO much for this area. This
project is NOT in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan.
The Pleasure House Point Natural Area and our neighborhood serve as a sanctuary for both physical and mental health
for our citizens. Building this large, high-density apartment complex directly adjacent to 118 quiet acres of water,tidal
marsh, and maritime forest would completely disregard the Comprehensive Plan for the Ocean Park area. We
STRONGLY oppose this potential rezoning&development for this location.

Dear Mr. Dao,
My name is Alanna and I currently live in Ocean Park off of Shore Drive. I'm writing to you to express my opposition to
the rezoning of Marlin Bay Apartments. I actually work for a development company and I am very much pro smart
development, but this increase in density will create a host of other terrible issues and concerns.
-Traffic.This stretch of Shore Drive is already having to adjust to the hundreds of new apartments that are popping up
on the other side of the Lesner Bridge. I personally was T-boned at this very intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay,
while pregnant and with a 5 year old child in the car.Thankfully we are all okay, but the intersection is already extremely
unsafe and adding hundreds of additional cars will be an issue.
- Pedestrians. Crossing this intersection is like playing a game of frogger.There have been multiple pedestrian injuries
and fatalities. Without resolving the issue of this unsafe crosswalk, I can't imagine adding hundreds more people, who
are all wanting to cross Shore Drive to get to the bay. - Parking.There is not adequate parking provided for apartment
residents.This will leave only the street parking that the Brock center and Pleasure House Point currently uses. They
rely on that parking for their student programs. Also people from around Virginia Beach will no longer be able to utilize
Pleasure House Point because there simply will be no parking to access it.
- Pleasure House Point/Brock Center.This is a true gem to Virginia Beach and we will now be taking this amenity away
from Virginia Beach residents and visitors.There will simply be no parking
- Beach. We barely have safe space to enjoy the beach as it currently exists.The steep dunes are already crumbling and a
danger for our children and anyone who sits near the dune.
- Beach Access. Our beach access recently received a poorly planned fence that narrows our access to the beach. There
are five feet of unused flat beach that are no longer able to be used. People cannot safely pass through both directions.
- Environmental impact. Virginia Beach is so fortunate to have the Brock Center and Pleasure house point.The impact on
all the wild life and trails will take a toll.
-Gateway.This is not in line with Virginia Beach's comprehensive plan.There is such a great opportunity to utilize this
area with a development that will compliment the neighborhood and offer a positive impact on one of VB's key
gateways.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mr. Dao,
I am a resident and member in the Ocean Park Neighborhood. I have been following the Marlin
Bay Apartment Development plans.
We bought a home here because of the benefits of a small communities and limited traffic after
spending decades in Washington, DC. Our home value reflects this community culture.
The Marlin Bay Development has the potential to dramatically shift the traffics patterns and way of
life for the of Ocean Park communities.
I'm sure you have read about the numbers expected already. It is my understanding that the very very
high amount of new people would double the population in this neighborhood without any other
infrastructure plans like roads, street lights or continued beach expansion.
The lot & zoning was NOT intended for this large of a development. Shore drive traffic currently
congested & adding hundreds of more people/cars is too much for this area. This project is not in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan.
Building this large, high-density apartment complex directly across from acres of water, tidal marsh,
and maritime forest would completely disregard the Comprehensive Plan for the Ocean Park area.
We very very strongly oppose this potential rezoning & development for this location.

Dear Mr. Dao,
Good morning, I am writing to express my opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartment
Development based on the size and scope of the project.We moved here last summer for all
that the Ocean Park area has to offer; community, beach access and activities, local
restaurants and shops, parks, and recreation. The local bayside community is certainly a very
special place to live. Adding an additional 197 units would place a tremendous strain on the
already heavy traffic-laden Shore Drive corridor and would increase the population of our
small community by 20%+. Building such a large structure with so many living units does not
really fit with the surrounding Ocean Park footprint. Please keep Ocean Park the special
Virginia Beach bayside community that it is.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Mr. Dao,
I'm writing to voice my concern on the Marlin Bay Apartment projects. I realize you may be inundated with emails
concerning it so I will try and make my points as concise as possible..
-First of all the originally proposed 227 units was preposterous and the fact that it has been reduced to 195 units is not
an acceptable or realistic adjustment. Zoning requirements are established beforehand FOR A REASON. Setting a
precedent that zoning regulations mean nothing will eventually drive away homeowners in the Ocean Park
neighborhood.
-PLEASURE HOUSE POINT: I believe PHP will be dramatically affected by these new units. This location is one of few
remaining preserved lands in the area. It is not a large area and one that is already taken advantage of by many
people. Local homeowners are the ones who organize and participate in trash cleanup to keep the area as pristine as
possible. Hundreds of more individuals in the area will lead to the eventual demise on PHP.
-BEACHES: While I believe some areas of the beach can sustain the increase numbers of the Marlin Bay Project, I believe
it is only possible with a fully replenished and large beach. As the beach stands now, it would not be able to
accommodate hundreds of more people and their guests. Again, the charm of the neighborhood would be lost and
happy homeowners would eventually move out of the area for reasons that once attracted them to it.
-TRAFFIC: I understand the MBP plan on only having entrance and exit points on to Shore Drive, but it would be foolish
to assume cars will not try and bypass congestions by cutting through the neighborhood to the South (where my wife,
daughter, dog, and I live). I have seen cars cut through our neighborhood countless times, speeding and seemingly
unconcerned with pedestrians or pets. These units WILL lead to a tragedy of some sort in the future. We are lucky it
hasn't happened already.
MY PROPOSED IDEA: I do understand the desire to develop that area and I do not completely disagree with it, but we
must consider all stakeholders. Instead of 195 units I think around 75 units with mixed residential and commercial
would be ideal. I believe that 2-3 storefronts that would allow for foot traffic would add to the appeal of the
development as well as increase neighborhood pride.The space saved from the 195 units should be converted to green
spaces (trees, small park etc.)This would not only appease current homeowners of the area but also increase the value
of the apartments allowing a premium to be charged for the units thereby attracting tenants who would also take pride
in their area.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Subject: Marlin Bay Apartment Project
Mr. Shea,
As a concerned resident of Mariner's Landing, I am writing in opposition to the proposed Marlin Bay
Apartment Project. I am absolutely against the development of this type of housing. As many have said, I love
the quiet charm of our neighborhood.The Marlin Bay Apartment proposal includes far too many units for the
plot of land. Given the lot size, it would make more sense to have a developer produce townhomes similar to
those in the area to fill the space.This would bring more residents to the area and preserve the neighborhood
charm. I might even consider buying one of the new townhomes.
I have lived in this quiet beachside neighborhood since my townhome on Ocean Tides Drive was built in 1984. Ocean
Park is a family neighborhood where residents know each other and look out for one another.Adding a four-story, 197
multi-family dwelling at an approximate density of 32 units per acre is inappropriate for the location.The proposed 197
residential units would increase the existing number of households by 100%. Not to mention that young people
primarily occupy apartments with frequent activities that would result in many people coming and going. Based on data
from the City of Virginia Beach,Shore Drive traffic is already overcapacity. Given adjacent development,future widening
is not an option.Therefore,further upzoning such as with this project,should not be allowed.
I realize the property being considered will be developed one day, but we do not need more density;this will have a
detrimental effect on our property values. I bought my townhouse because of the charm of the community. It feels like a
small town within a big city.When the property directly behind my townhome is developed, it should be designed to
enhance the area. If the plan as presented is approved, I feel sure my property value will decline.
I have serious concerns about the proposed four stories.A four-story apartment complex in the Ocean Park area would
be like no other development in the area. It would not fit the neighborhood and raises safety and privacy concerns.
Additionally,the four-story complex will shade my backyard, killing my garden.Any development should ensure existing
homes continue to receive sunlight without obstruction from new buildings (Solar Access).
Another concern is that I fear the proposed development would harm the surrounding woods,wetlands,trails, parks,
beaches,and rivers. People want to live in Ocean Park because of the amenities of the Lynnhaven Inlet on one side and
the Chesapeake Bay on the other. Our surrounding area contains 118 acres of water,tidal marsh,sandy shores, and
1
maritime forest. It preserves one of the largest undeveloped parcels on the Lynnhaven River.The Shore Drive corridor
has undergone a significant transformation over the past several decades.This activity has changed the area's character
and undermines the very resources that drew me to the site.
Finally,the noise created by the mechanical equipment for the new development will be a significant irritant for those of
us closest to the site. Of course,with 197 units,the noise will continue with the increase in inhabitants and activity in
the area. My job requires me to be up and out of the house early in the morning;thus, I go to bed early.
My suggestion is for the developer to go back to the drawing board to find a project that will complement the
surrounding area and meet the existing zoning requirements. Our beaches are already crowded, and parking is an issue.
To claim parking will not be an issue,traffic will not increase,and that this project would be environmentally friendly is
outrageous. Any new development should be oriented toward the protection and enhancement of the character of
existing neighborhoods. In this case,the proposed new development is not compatible with the existing neighborhood. I
would like it to be something more beneficial to the Ocean Park community and Shore Drive Corridor.
Respectfully,

Mr. Dao,
I am a property owner and year-round resident of Ocean Park and I'm contacting you to request you
deny the zoning changes that would be required for the 190+ unit Marlin Bay development to move
forward.
My primary opposition is that the density requested is far above the density of the rest of the Ocean
Park neighborhood. This neighborhood is full of long-term year-round residents that has created a
tight knit community. The large increase in rental apartments will change the neighborhood for the
worse in my opinion.
I want to see development, but done responsibly and in accordance with the already established
zoning regulations.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Mr. Dao,
As a 20-year resident of Ocean Tides Drive, and in very close proximity to the proposed Marlin Bay
apartment development, I am writing to ask for your support in opposing the proposed rezoning and
development at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B-2/PDH-1 to a conditional B-4 zone. While I am not
opposed to all future development on this site, I do have significant concerns regarding the type of
rezoning being proposed for the Marlin Bay development:
.This type of apartment complex does not fit into the historic neighborhood of single family
homes, duplexes, and townhomes that is Ocean Park
•Large apartment complexes are clustered together near other dense-land spaces, not in small,
long-established neighborhoods, making such a proposed plan incongruent with the limited
footprint that exists within Ocean Park
•Once the property is rezoned, the developers could further develop the property. The parcels
are not under one ownership. If the Boat Sale parcel segregates itself, it could be
redeveloped as a separate parcel.
•My opposition is also based on these probable negative effects:
o the loss of neighborhood and community character I have enjoyed for over 20 years
o a decrease in the market value of my home
O overcrowding on our neighboring Chesapeake Bay beach which is already very narrow
O increased traffic congestion, adding to an already dangerous Shore Drive corridor
I appreciate your support of local voices in preserving our community.
Very respectfully,

Good Afternoon,
My name is Jeff and my fiancé and I am are homeowners in the Ocean Park Neighborhood. We are both young
professionals in our late 20s and have lived in the neighborhood for coming up on 3 years. We feel that our voices are
important due to our intentions to not only remain in the area for the foreseeable future, but to make an impact on it as
well.
We are strongly against the re-zoning proposed to the property adjacent to Shore Dr and Marlin Bay Dr.A High-
Density 200-unit apartment complex would ruin the aesthetic and charm to our neighborhood while opening the door to
similar projects down the line. Virginia Beach already feels littered with such apartment complexes which warrants the
need to keep single family communities in place.
The traffic study conducted does not account for the already concerning parking issues revolved around those wishing to
visit Pleasure House Point or the beaches. A 200-unit apartment complex would not only add that many residents to the
area, but the visitors of those residents as well.
While we believe that a change should be made to this property,we believe that change should fall under its
CURRENT zoning.
Best,

Mr. Dao,
I'm writing due to concerns regarding the Marlin Bay Development on Shore Dr in Ocean Park. I have lived in Ocean Park
and Aeries on the Bay since 2008. I am not against development. I understand the need for it and the potential
benefits. However, the existing properties at Marlin Bay Drive should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning
and City planning guidelines to include townhouses, duplexes and single-family homes, not a large high-density multi-
family development
The incredible scale of the development will irrevocably change the neighborhood. In addition, it will set a terrible
precedent by allowing the development of a high-density complex, which could open the door for more similar projects in
the future.
The Shore Drive corridor needs many basic improvements, such as sidewalks, before additional development should be
considered. This project will bring harm to this neighborhood that it may not recover from.
Sincerely,
Joe Gregory

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am simply writing to you in a personal capacity as a resident and citizen and not in my official position as President of
the Ocean Park Civic League.
Please find the following points of opposition to the proposed "Marlin Bay Development" before Planning and the
Planning Commission:
• The proposed project has a stated density of 31 units per acre using the dubious and precedent setting inclusion
of an existing commercial business lot and building to rezone the lots to B-4 mixed use. I feel this conflicts with
the spirit of regulations, definition and code but it is technically flawed. Without the roughly 2 acre lot of the
existing adjacent boat sales building,the true density would be 46 units per acre! Also, I also suspect that the
zoning lot conflicts with the City's own documentation and a definition of a zoning lot,this application does not
fit due to the expansive distance and roadway(not alley) between the existing boat sales lot as stated
"Zoning Lot -A lot or any portion thereof, or contiguous lots under common ownership within a single
zoning district,which are to be used, developed, or built upon as a unit. For the purpose of this definition, lots of
the same ownership separated
solely by an alley of no more than twenty (20) feet in width and by a distance not exceeding the widt
h of the alley shall be considered contiguous"
• As provided by the City's Comprehensive Plan and specifically the Shore Drive Corredor Strategic Focus Area any
rezoning and conditional use should "Preserve and protect the character of the established neighborhoods; and
Achieve the lowest reasonable density for future residential uses;" And specifically"Ensure that any
development in the surrounding area is complementary with regard to both
design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point."That
said, any rezoning and conditional use of these lots should allow for a density less than the adjacent PDH-1
Mariners Landing Townhomes (est 12 units per acre) and the Three Ships Condominiums(A-18) directly across
Shore Drive at a density of 12 units per acre.
• Due to the necessity to raise the base elevation of the lots,the 3,4&4.5 story building will be considerably
taller than the existing Mariners Landing Townhomes and Shore Drive roadway.
While the drawings present desirable apartment development, much like The Pearl on Great Neck Road, (200 units on
14 acres),the scale, density and massing of this project is inappropriate and will likely destroy the nature and character
of our community.There are many more projects throughout the city which would serve as a model for the eventual
development of these lots.
Again, if you feel I have misinterpreted any of the facts in my opposition, please fee►free to reach out and discuss.

Mr. Dao and Planning Commissioners:
Over a year ago, we learned of the planned apartment development at the corner of Marlin Bay, which
would require rezoning from townhomes. Located within a half mile of the proposed development,we
believed that we would meet with the developers, but never had an opportunity presented to us. Our
civic league reviewed the plan on the developer's website, listened to the Bayfront Advisory Commission
consider the proposal, as well as read information provided by the Ocean Park Civic League. Finally, we
listened to two proponents of the project in person at our recent civic league meeting.The Baylake
Pines Civic League General Membership has voted to oppose the current proposal for Marlin Bay
Apartments due to an increase in high-turnover residential population in this corridor of Shore Drive,
storm water drainage concerns, and increased traffic in an already dense residential area.This project
does not comply with the City of Virginia Beach's Comprehensive Plan, which specifies that "any
development in the surrounding area is complimentary with regard to both design and land use to the
natural resource an open space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point." We are opposed to a
change in zoning required for the project that is currently proposed.
Thank you for considering the negative impact this development will have on our residents and
environment.
Baylake Pines Civic League President,John Borum

Mr. Dao,
I am writing to express my opposition for the rezoning of the Marlin Bay site and the
potential Marlin Bay Apartment Development and asking you to please consider voting
against this. My husband and I own our home at 2137 Whispering Sands Lane. There are
several reasons why I oppose this development, including the terrible president this rezoning
will set, the fact that the area is not a strategic growth area, as well as that our neighborhood
of Ocean Park cannot safely handle anymore traffic.
I am originally from Louisiana and have seen the negative impact that improper rezoning and
development have had on the community, environment, and residents of my hometown. I feel
as if I am reliving the past seeing these developments being considered in this area. The
current lots proposed for this development are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. This request for
"conditional use" to B-4 Mixed Use zoning is completely inappropriate. I have seen rezoning
for recent projects and while I still oppose some of these, they have been completed at a far
lower density, for example 14.29 apartments per acre as opposed to this 31.77 per acre.
Virginia Beach's Comprehensive Plan and the Shore Drive Corridor Plan were created to
maintain low density for this area and this proposed development is a direct opposition to the
established plan that our elected officials in city council voted upon. This plan was established
to protect the area and residents from dangerous traffic, parking issues, as well as
stormwater runoff. Furthermore, the Bayfront Advisory Commission did not approve the
project.
One of my greatest concerns about this project (from the very long list) is the protection of
Pleasure House Point Natural Area which the community fought so hard to establish and
protect. This 118 acres of water, tidal marsh, sandy shores, and maritime forest is not only a
place for all Virginia Beach residents and visitors to enjoy but also such an important area for
our wildlife and environment. The city's Comprehensive Plan provides direct guidance to
ensure this area is protected, stating: "ensure that any development in the surrounding area
is complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resources and open
space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point."
On a personal level, my husband and I chose to make Virginia Beach our permanent residence
after living in Ocean Park and experiencing its small community with a very strong
neighborhood and identity.We have seen other areas of Virginia Beach be overly developed
with high-density apartments and are afraid of the alarming president this development will
make for future developments. Furthermore, this neighborhood houses duplexes,
townhouses, and single-family homes and a large complex such as this would negatively
impact the quality of life for the residents of Ocean Park.
I thank you for your time and consideration as well as all the work you do for our community.
Our community relies on you and our future is held in your hands. I ask that you please take
the time to consider all input from the residents that actually live in this area. I am not against
all types of development even for this area but I am against development that directly hurts
the community who have worked so hard to maintain this area as a safe place to live as well
as protect the beautiful environment that surrounds us.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Ballenger

Dear Mr Dao
Thank you in advance for reading this email and many others you have received as well as your consideration for the
thoughts and input from those who currently live in Ocean Park. Our family was brought to the area with the US Navy,
we currently own two properties in the neighborhood,we have started our family here and can't wait to watch it grow.
However, issues with flooding,traffic flows on Shore Drive where people drive too fast and don't stop for red lights and
the gowing number of accidents, beach erosion and over development of the area such as multiple unit developments
where one unit once stood have brought us concerns for the safety of our children, lack of parking, home flooding and
general loss of green space/over crowding.
We strongly oppose the Marlin Bay Apartments and ask you to consider the same opposition.Thank you very much for
your consideration.
Kind regards
Peter and Natalie (Ocean Park Residents)

Hello,
I wanted to write this evening to ensure my voice was heard in regards to the proposed complex at Marlin Bay. I'm a
new resident who lives off Mystic Cove Drive, having just moved here from a similar style apartment complex in central
Illinois.
I strongly, strongly, strongly oppose this project, and hope to see either a significantly reduced strategy or alternative
strategy entirely used for this space. I believe the foot traffic, car traffic, noise pollution, aesthetics, and everything
inbetween on a project/complex like this will be horrible for our neighborhood.
Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!

I cannot think of one single benefit of building apartments on Marlin Bay and Shore drive. City planners continue to talk
out of both sides of their mouth. Shore drive already floods in areas.The unbelievable congestion on Shore drive from
previously built condominiums. The character has Shore drive has already changed so drastically it's barely recognizable
to people that have been here for 20 years or more I happen to have been here for 63. I thought zoning rules for
established because of foresight and planning and to maintain the integrity of an area.You can model that concept for
the people you represent who you work for by saying no to this development. Use the land for something people from
the other side of the bridge and the other people that live here and pay taxes will be proud of maybe something like a
farmer's market.

Dear Mr. Dao,
As a concerned resident of Mariner's Landing, I am writing in opposition to the proposed Marlin Bay
Apartment Project. I am absolutely against the development of this type of housing. As many have said, I love
the quiet charm of our neighborhood.The Marlin Bay Apartment proposal includes far too many units for the
plot of land. Given the lot size, it would make more sense to have a developer produce townhomes similar to
those in the area to fill the space.This would bring more residents to the area and preserve the neighborhood
charm. I might even consider buying one of the new townhomes.
I have lived in this quiet beachside neighborhood since my townhome on Ocean Tides Drive was built in 1984. Ocean
Park is a family neighborhood where residents know each other and look out for one another.Adding a four-story, 197
multi-family dwelling at an approximate density of 32 units per acre is inappropriate for the location.The proposed 197
residential units would increase the existing number of households by 100%. Not to mention that young people
primarily occupy apartments with frequent activities that would result in many people coming and going. Based on data
from the City of Virginia Beach,Shore Drive traffic is already overcapacity. Given adjacent development,future widening
is not an option.Therefore,further upzoning such as with this project,should not be allowed.
I realize the property being considered will be developed one day, but we do not need more density;this will have a
detrimental effect on our property values. I bought my townhouse because of the charm of the community. It feels like a
small town within a big city. When the property directly behind my townhome is developed, it should be designed to
enhance the area. If the plan as presented is approved, I feel sure my property value will decline.
I have serious concerns about the proposed four stories.A four-story apartment complex in the Ocean Park area would
be like no other development in the area. It would not fit the neighborhood and raises safety and privacy concerns.
Additionally,the four-story complex will shade my backyard, killing my garden.Any development should ensure existing
homes continue to receive sunlight without obstruction from new buildings (Solar Access).
Another concern is that I fear the proposed development would harm the surrounding woods,wetlands,trails, parks,
beaches,and rivers. People want to live in Ocean Park because of the amenities of the Lynnhaven Inlet on one side and
the Chesapeake Bay on the other. Our surrounding area contains 118 acres of water,tidal marsh,sandy shores, and
maritime forest. It preserves one of the largest undeveloped parcels on the Lynnhaven River.The Shore Drive corridor
has undergone a significant transformation over the past several decades.This activity has changed the area's character
and undermines the very resources that drew me to the site.
Finally,the noise created by the mechanical equipment for the new development will be a significant irritant for those of
us closest to the site. Of course,with 197 units,the noise will continue with the increase in inhabitants and activity in
the area. My job requires me to be up and out of the house early in the morning;thus, I go to bed early.
i
My suggestion is for the developer to go back to the drawing board to find a project that will complement the
surrounding area and meet the existing zoning requirements. Our beaches are already crowded,and parking is an issue.
To claim parking will not be an issue,traffic will not increase,and that this project would be environmentally friendly is
outrageous.Any new development should be oriented toward the protection and enhancement of the character of
existing neighborhoods. In this case,the proposed new development is not compatible with the existing neighborhood. I
would like it to be something more beneficial to the Ocean Park community and Shore Drive Corridor.
Respectfully,
Claire R. Le Blanc

VB Planning Commission,
I am writing this email to inform the planning commission that I am in opposition of the Marlin Bay
Apartment Development. I would have liked to speak at the commission hearing; however, I will be
conducting important business during the dedicated timeframe.
I oppose this project because:
1. 197 apartments are too numerous and will crowd our community. Residents do not want
numerous apartments because we feel the project is grossly populated for the amount of space
allocated. The plot of land carved out for this project sends a negative message to all nearby
communities as well. There are numerous apartment complexes already in the vicinity of this area
and adding more will degrade the community involvement and culture. I would be in favor of
residential, long-term housing on a smaller scale. For example, adding condos/townhouses to this
space would be better suited to harness an environment for community engagement. Take for
instance, the significant impact the residents of this community made on the Lynnhaven River
Project. This grassroots movement started with the local community who had a long-term stake in
the success of Virginia Beach.
2. I am told this project will reconfigure the street access. I think this is a dangerous
idea as Marlin Bay is used by many to enter the neighborhood and access Pleasure House
Point. The current street layout has more space for cars to safely enter the neighborhood
and it divides the direction of traffic. This access was engineered to triage the flow of traffic
with the neighborhood layout. Allowing alternate access will increase traffic on residents'
streets. Children ride their bikes in this area, and I worry this will create a hazardous
environment.
3. This project will impact the resource allocation of the community and it does not
align with efforts to prevent sea level rise. Norfolk's nearby Coastal Resilience Strategy
is outlined to mitigate coastal flooding risk. Building a large concrete garage and squeezing
the proposed 197 units into this area is a concern that will impact residents for years to
come. Currently the lot has green space to help absorb water and prevent sinkholes. A few
miles down the road, the military is evaluating sea level rise and is considering this issue a
threat to operational readiness. Adding this large-scale concrete project does not align with
efforts to mitigate sea level rise.
Please represent the long-term residents and revise the current proposal today.
Thank you,
Ashley Bilbo
Ocean Park Resident

Dear Mr. Dao and VB Planning Commission Members,
As a 20 year resident of Ocean Park, I am writing to express my opposition to the overdevelopment of the Browning's Marine
property. I respectively ask that your commission not approve the rezoning as requested in the Marlin Bay apartment
proposal. Rezoning to allow an increased density far beyond what is allowed by-right and which far exceeds current Ocean Park
density is not compatible.
Being involved in the residential construction industry, I am all for progress and development but it needs to be checked and done
responsibly. This project will place too much burden on the existing infrastructure, overcrowd this waterfront community and will result
in further declines in the quality of life enjoyed by existing residents of the Bayfront area. I thought we learned from Ocean View
decades ago, how too many apartments and multi-family units can destroy a beachfront community?
Please do not allow this project to move forward and destroy the character of our neighborhood. We are already overwhelmed by
visitors parking all over neighborhood streets to access the beach and this will only further add to the overcrowding and parking issues
we have.
Please send a message to these developers that they will not be allowed to cram an excessive amount of units onto these properties
above what is permitted by-right in order to maximize profits. Please deny these applications as proposed.
Thank you for your careful consideration and opportunity to share my concerns and ideas.
Sincerely,
Mike Wills

Dear Mr. Dao and Members of the Planning Commission:
Admittedly, I've never written a letter like this one before. I've never opposed a project so much. But I feel it's very
important for you to hear from the residents of the West end of the Shore Drive corridor of Virginia Beach regarding
how we feel about this proposed Marlin Bay apartment complex. I don't want to keep seeing multi-story apartments and
condos creeping down to our end of Shore Drive. My neighborhood of Baylake Pines is characterized by single family
homes.That's one of the reasons many families choose to live here. The neighborhoods on either side of us have single
family homes, duplexes and in the one case in Chesapeake Beach, one two-story apartment complex.Three and four
story buildings with large parking garages don't belong here where we live. Approving such a project sets a terrible
precedent for high density projects in this portion of the Shore Drive corridor. At 31.77 units per acre,this project
represents more than double the density of any recent project in or around Ocean Park.
This proposed project is totally not in compliance with the Plans City Council adopted for the Shore Drive corridor or the
City's Comprehensive Plan. Both plans state a goal of low density for our area. Why is this being ignored?
The City's Comprehensive Plan also specifies that any development in the area surrounding our precious natural
resource of Pleasure House Point is to be complementary to the natural area in terms of both design and land use. The
proposed monstrosity of an apartment complex does not. The developer claims the proposed apartment complex will
help "revitalize"the area. I feel quite the opposite. It cheapens the area. We don't want it! Please,take the voices of the
citizens who live nearby into consideration for once!

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am writing to you in regard to the huge apartment complex that is proposed for the Ocean Park neighborhood. We
LOVE our neighborhood and it's quirkiness, our neighbors and the proximity to the bay. Unfortunately, it is changing
rapidly and not all in a positive way. So many of our beautiful live oaks are being wiped out for development (they
should be protected) and the quaint, beautiful neighborhood is starting to becoming overcrowded and over run with
development.
I hate to think what will happen if this moves forward. The other side of the Lesner bridge (immediately after the bridge)
is a huge treeless plot of apartments and high rises. Not only can the fragile Bay not handle this much development but
Shore Drive can't either. I already fear for my safety just trying to cross Shore on any given day. Folks drive like its a
raceway and rarely does anyone stay within speed limit. I can't imagine what it will be like with hundreds of more folks
trying to use Shore Drive. We have a low density plan for this area and it needs to stay that way.
This is NOT what this area needs or wants. I oppose this because hundreds of more people and more cars are too much
for our neighborhood, because we sit directly adjacent to the fragile Pleasure House Point Natural Area (with our tidal
marsh, and maritime forest), because we are NOT in a strategic growth area with a goal of low density, because this will
set a bad precedence for this future of this area and will turn it into a treeless apartment neighborhood and we will lose
all of what makes it so special.And from what I understand even the Bayfront Advisory Commission that was
appointment by city council did not approve this project.
We are a small historic community with a strong neighborhood identity and this project is just another step in destroying
what makes it such a special place to live. It feels like it is just all about$$ and not about what the residents want and
what the bay and this neighborhood can handle. We LIVE here and we DO NOT want this to happen. No one I have
spoken to in our neighborhood about this project wants it to happen as proposed.
Please, please, please help us preserve what we have invested in. I hate to have to leave and move to Pungo.
Thank you,

Hello Mr. Doa,
I am a resident of Aeries on the Bay and live directly across the street from the proposed Marlin Bay
apartment development. I am sure that you have been receiving other messages like mine, but I want to
emphasize that there are many more who share my opinion, but will not get around to reaching out to you
before the city makes a decision. We live in an active, yet peaceful area of Virginia Beach, full of families with
children, pets, and weekend visitors. Our community is special in that it offers public beaches, but provides a
feeling of safety and security that is not always offered elsewhere, such as at the Oceanfront. Currently, I have
neighbors who feel comfortable not locking a front door at night, leave their bikes in their driveway overnight,
teach their children how to ride a bikes throughout neighborhood street, and feel safe in seeing familiar faces
throughout their streets.
We strongly feel that a large development added to an already populated area of Shore Drive will slowly open
our community to further large development projects and strip us of the special character that it currently
offers.
On behalf of myself and our community, please do not let this project move forward.
Thank you,
Matt Farrell

Dear Mr. Dao,
I have lived in Virginia Beach off Shore Drive since 1966. It is certainly not the quaint place it used to
be. Shore Drive has had so much development that it has caused huge traffic problems and
dangerous situations for pedestrians crossing the street due to the high volume of cars. The Marlin
Bay Apartment Development will just add to the existing problem. As a homeowner in Ocean Park
and Baylake Pines, I oppose this development because this will add hundreds of more people and
cars to the small Ocean Park neighborhood.
The Pleasure House Point Natural Area across the street will be overused and most likely disturbed
with all the people and all the dog feces. It will be hard to keep the land preserved as a wildlife area.
In addition, there will be more people using the beaches and parking in "no parking zones". This will
add more litter to our beautiful beaches and more disagreements between homeowners and people
trying to park in their yards.
Please stop letting developers destroy the beauty of Shore Drive.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Thank you for your time and consideration to this request.
Sincerely,
Shirley Needham Dannenhoffer

Mr.Dao,
Please take a moment to read my letter in regards to changing our
neighborhood forever. I have lived on Whispering Sands Lane for twenty
two years.
I have received two flyers. Of course one from our Civic League in Ocean
Park. Today I found a well done professional flyer from the developers. I
found two sentences that revealed two more reasons for the
development. More tax revenue for the city. The second really hit home.
A "gateway to the Oceanfront". We are not Atlantic or Pacific Avenues.
That is one big reason we don't want 197 units of rental units in our
backyard. A parking garage 4 1/2 stories high at the entrance of a 118
acre preserve. We have thousands of people from throughout Virginia
Beach that visit and enjoy. Even if there were only one car per unit, it
would change getting in and out of a park that the city along with other
supporters use as their gateway for all of Virginia Beach to enjoy.
Recently we spoke to families who were at the local beach from New
Jersey. Asking how they knew of the beach. They said it was advertised
on a slick flyer from our tourist bureau. So, a monster building to show a
gateway to the high rise hotels at the Oceanfront, and a residential beach
being advertised. We all see it coming.
The zoning has to be changed and at that it will include businesses.
What? It will double the density. It's not in compliance with the City'
Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Dr. Corridor Plan. The Bayfront
Advisory Commission did not approve the project.
There is a natural preserve just down the way. Will that be in the plan for
the Tourist Bureau to advertise to all of the east coast?
We have had small old homes torn down and beautiful homes using land
wisely built. We all feel that the land should be in unison with what it is
adjacent to. We have moms with carriages, walkers, bicyclists, dog
walking and they are part of a unique area. This area is popular because
of what it is.
The developers will make lots of money month after month. They are not
going to be there for the noise traffic and their property values going
down.
This development doesn't comply with anything. It is for one reason. To
make money over many years for the developers. Another reason has
been used to seduce the project being built with the city, by increasing
revenue.
Interestingly, the developer flyer had an obviously retired couple on the
front. Seduce retirees? This neighborhood is mostly families, and still
other younger families wanting to raise their children in a neighborhood
similar to what they grew up in.
Please. New buildings will come. But they should be as the neighborhood
they are building in, and not try to make us a mini Oceanfront.
Thank you, I got wordy, but believe me this is my home,my life and it is
being threatened by big money developers.
Many thanks

property on the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive.
This property should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning and city planning guidelines to include
townhouses, duplexes and single family homes, not large high density multifamily housing using erroneous mixed-use
rezoning as is currently proposed.
Marlin Bay Apartments will change the character of this area and any development should be consistent with the
character of the residential use in the surrounding area. The proposed zoning is not in the strategic growth area where
it belongs.
Sincerely,
Tina Davenport
Baylake Pines Resident

I am a current resident of Baylake Pines and my home is located one block from the proposed Marlin Bay
Apartments project. I am writing in opposition to the requested increased density and rezoning of Marlin Bay
Apartments on Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4 in order to allow the building of
197, or more, units. I understand the needs and rights of Landowners to develop their property, but this request
is not compatible with development in this area of Shore Drive.
I would, however, support development similar to the projects directly across Shore Drive from the proposed
Marlin Bay project. I have provded pictures of those projects for your review. Since there is a commercial
business presently on this property, I would also be in favor of a nicely designed and carefully planned
commercial project.
With new and currently proposed residential developments on or near Shore Drive (i.e., The Pearl
-https://lifeatpearl.com/; Westminster Canterbury-https://www.pilotonline.com/business/vp-nw-westminster-
canterbury-0111-20200110-66a1x6eku5dplbgf31ks3bi67Y-story.html ),traffic on Shore Drive will, in the very
near future, greatly increase. The proposed Marlin Bay project (with 197 or more units)will significantly add
to the numbers of vehicles traversing an already congested area. I have personally experienced, on many
occasions, vehicles traveling East on Shore Drive stacked up well beyond Bayville Road waiting for the
stoplight to change at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive
Furthermore, the foot traffic this development will generate will only increase the chances of pedestrian/vehicle
accidents on Shore Drive. People living in these new units will frequently walk across Shore Drive to access
the Chesapeake Bay beaches. As a long-term resident(37 years) of this neighborhood, I have personally
witnessed the impact of pedestrian accidents on US Route 60/Shore Drive in the past- lowering the speed limit
from 45 MPH to 35 MPH as well as a sign count warning of the number of such incidences (which was
eventually removed by the City). In addition to the fear of additional loss of life, I am also concerned that these
types of development projects would place further pressure on City Officials to lower the speed limit further to
30 MPH or lower, creating additional gridlock on one of the few East/West Corridors in our city.
I very much appreciate you giving consideration to my concerns and hope the outcome will include a major
decrease in density of any potential development project on this site.
Sincerely,
i

Hi Mr. Dao,
Please don't approve the Marlin Bay building complex! With lots of families and children in the neighborhood the
building with multiple units would be a nightmare and make our bay nature trails and crossing roads way more
dangerous! Disasters waiting to happen! We need to protect our kids and neighbors. Please keep the neighborhood the
way it's supposed to be! There is a strong community feel in Ocean Park and adding an apartment complex would make
it impossible for all the neighbors too keep up that neighborly feel! As we all can see if there is an accident on one of
these roads it makes commuting already dangerous and a nightmare! Last month I couldn't get to my child's school to
pick him up because of an accident.This is NOT a good idea. Not for the community and definitely not for the
environment.
"Many of America's national forests and grasslands—collectively called the National Forest System (NFS)—face
increased risks and alterations from escalating housing development on private rural lands along their boundaries. For
example, many wildlife species that inhabit NFS lands also depend on adjacent private lands and can be affected by
degradation of private land habitat. Increased housing development can impact the public's access to NFS lands,
increase wildfire ignitions and management costs, reduce water quality, and introduce insects and diseases. A more
detailed discussion of these implications can be found in Stein et al. (2007). "
https://www.fs.fed.us/openspace/pubs/gtr wo78%20pg36-40.pdf
Please say NO to this apartment complex!
Thanks for listening!!

To all decision makers:
I am opposed to the Marlin Bay Apartment Development project.
Please seriously consider the long term impacts of this size development to the area.
Preservation of our Natural Resource
Pleasure House Point Natural Area was only recently established as a protected area. Increasing the
residential population directly adjacent to the PHP is likely to dramatically increase its visitation. Although I'm strongly in
favor of making and keeping natural areas accessible to all, increased use almost always also means increased
trash/litter, increased dog feces left behind, increased erosion on established trails, increased off trail use degrading the
natural environment, increased potential for illegal fire, and the increased human/dog traffic will deter birds and turtles
and other species that already have very little natural habitat.
Flooding
Ocean Park already experiences significant flooding several times each year.The current storm water run off and tidal
flooding management is not effective. I am sceptical of the statements on marlinbayvb.com claiming it will redirect
storm water away from the neighborhood and that it will decrease the amount of impervious area at the site. All
surrounding areas also flood, so where will storm water be redirected that will not cause increased flooding? My
concern is based on personal experience. Three Ships Landing Condo development's approved storm
water management plan, by design, redirects their runoff into my backyard as well as several of my neighbors' yards
before it reaches any storm drain. No existing Ocean Park resident or other Shore Drive neighborhood should be flooded
out several times a year to accommodate additional housing.
Traffic/Parking
Our curbless streets without sidewalks are problematic as is. Adding more people and more cars will only increase the
difficulties.The proposed parking garage may lessen the impacts but additional vehicles from
guests/roommates/oversized vehicles will overflow onto our streets. Pedestrian traffic, especially across Shore Drive to
the beach, will also increase. Increased frequency of triggered walk signals at traffic lights and people crossing between
light cycles will back up vehicle traffic and likely increase the frequency of pedestrian vs vehicle accidents.

Please do not allow dollars for a select few to speak louder than common sense and the good of all.
Thank you.
Stephanie Walker
Ocean Park home owner

Hello:
As a homeowner in the Aeries on the Bay neighborhood for going on twenty-two years, I
am writing to urge you to oppose the Marlin Bay Apartment Development that is going before the
Virginia Beach Planning Commission on June 9 of this year.
I object to this development primarily because a 197-unit apartment complex and 4 1/2
story parking garage would drastically damage the quality of life and environmental health of my
neighborhood and the entire Shore Drive corridor.
This area is already one of the most densely populated areas in Virginia Beach (indeed in
Hampton Roads), and intensifying its density as greatly as the development proposes would
drastically increase traffic, noise, congestion, waste, and pollution. That the proposed development
would sit right across from Pleasure House Point and the Brock Environmental Center also alarms
me from an environmental point of view. Historically, this area has been a key wetland and estuary
guard against flooding and pollution; to our city's credit, years ago we designated Pleasure House
Point as a natural preserve with the aim of attempting to recover that crucial ecological character
and function of this area. I shudder to think how all the air pollution and waste-water run-off from
the proposed development would degrade Pleasure House Point and the greater Lynnhaven and
Elizabeth River watersheds and the oyster reefs that have so improved water quality. I beg you not
to put commercial and revenue opportunities above the quality of life and the health of the
environment in my neighborhood.
I also object to the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments because, so far as I can see, it violates
current zoning laws as well as the city's Shore Drive Corridor and Comprehensive Plans. The
proposal seeks to rezone the area from PDH-1 and B-2 to B-4 mixed use on the dubious ground that
the existing boat retail businesses near to it will be incorporated into the development. I see and
hear no evidence from neighbors that there is any relation between the boat retails and this
proposed development, so in my judgment the rezoning appeal on which the proposed development
rests is invalid and may even be actionably fraudulent.
Please, please vote and work to oppose the Marlin Bay Apartments development. The
quality of life and environmental health of my neighborhood and the surrounding areas is direly
threatened by the proposal, as is the continuity of the City's long-term development plans and
indeed the fundamental rule of law in our city.
Thank you for you attention and your service to our City.

Hi Hoa,
Please submit to Planning Council Members on my behalf as a revision to my 1 previous email.
Are both hearings still 6/9?
As a concerned citizen & abutter to one of the above proposed projects I'm voicing my strong opposition to 2332
Pleasure House Rd AND Marlin Bay high density residential. Like many I see that the Master Plan is not being
followed. It's my understanding Inman Stricker has filed the suit below outlining various grievances that should never
have been allowed to happen on WC or Windsong. I thank those petitioners.

Please adhere to the rules &vote down both of these projects to save the city from further embarrassment & litigation.
Sincerely,
Kim Mayo

RE: Marlin Bay Apartment Application
Dear Mr. Dao,
I am a long-time resident of the Shore Drive area, having moved there in the 1960's. I have seen the traffic
increase dramatically over the years and now the highways are unbelievably overburdened.All intersections
meet failing standards. I served as Chairman of the city's Shore Drive Advisory Committee for 10 years before I
retired from that position about 10 years ago. We were consistently in opposition to increasing the density of
The Shore Drive area.
Not only would the density create density related issues, it would be an extremely unattractive eyesore for an
otherwise beautiful neighborhood.
As you know the Pleasure House Point Tract was set aside as a perpetual open space to remain undeveloped
forever. Developing a project of this type this close to that beautiful open space would be a gross violation of
the concept of providing open spaces such as Pleasure House Point.
I urge you and your Colleagues on the staff to recommend denial of this application and I urge members of the
Planning Commission to vote no.
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,
Hello, I am writing you about the future 197 unit Marlin Bay Apartment complex on Shore drive.
I am 20 years old, was born in Virginia, and I'm very active in the community. Seeing this proposal
for such a massive addition to my street is terrifying to me and many other members in the
community. When considering this new addition, please take into account my thoughts and my voice
from in the community.
The fear comes from the potential risk of many more news-worthy accidents or even deaths on this
already dangerous road. So many horrible accidents, even fatalities, have taken place on Shore drive,
even in this year alone, that could be prevented by proper road markings, traffic signals, and attention
from the people who have the funding to make these changes happen, instead of spending it on
things to make it worse. For instance, some traffic lights on Shore drive give drivers a "green arrow"
at the same time the crosswalks give a " walk " signal. This is an extreme safety threat which is
confusing for newcomers and even young drivers like myself. If there were 197 more units on Shore
drive, that means at least 197 more cars and pedestrians we need to protect or avoid in the case of
another potential road tragedy, putting your citizens in danger.
Virginia Beach is an attraction because of the beautiful sights you can't find anywhere else. The
beaches and the nature bring people from all over that make this their paradise, and stay because
they want to protect and conserve the beauty, rather than construct massive, expensive, eyesore
buildings just for the profit at the expense of others. Where I live, I had the best view of the ocean for
years- until construction shortly took over the joy of looking out my window every day. This is enough
to drive away your dedicated citizens that adore this city. I look at the Ocean Front and remember the
great trips I took there when I was younger and the memories made, but recently it looks deserted
and filthy, and I do not wish to go anymore. This is what happens when cities focus on quantity of
incomes instead of quality, and I do not wish that of my beloved Shore Drive.
In recent events, due to virus scares, people were going insane about toilet paper and grocery needs,
causing shortages in every local grocery store and gas station. It's hard imagining how more than 197
people would have to fend for themselves in our area if something like that happened again. For
example, the gas pipeline scare. Cars were lined up into the street for days trying to fill up their tanks.
That was difficult enough, but an additional 197+ vehicles would make for a death trap of Virginia
Beach.
1
As someone who's profession is animal care, it breaks my heart to see our Virginia wildlife
slaughtered by vehicles every day on Shore drive. Roadkill is very common around here due to the
amount of cars and careless drivers, and our people are starting to add to those lives taken on this
road.
Please hear my voice and concerns from within your community. This complex feared and not
wanted here. If you have any questions please contact me at 757-769-9035. Thanks again.
Sincerely, Maegan Swinko on Shore Drive

Dear Mr. Dao,
I have lived in Ocean Park since 2006 and in that time have witnessed the continuous housing growth on Shore
Drive. The Marlin Bay Development is another project that is NOT in the best interest of the Ocean Park
neighborhood. Our area is made up of single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses. There are NO large multifamily
complexes in the heart of Ocean Park. As good stewards of our land we need to be aware of how we are causing more
erosion and damage to our fragile eco-system. Pleasure House Point is just feet away from this proposed
development!!!
Please use your voice to STOP this rezoning and potential development and keep Ocean Park a beach community that
values our land and waterways.
Sincerely,
Linda Moore

This email is to inform you of the problems with this project. I have been a resident of Virginia Beach for over
68 years. At age 5 I learned to fish under the Lesner Bridge and from that time till the early 1970 it remained a
beautiful estuary sustaining life for the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay. Shortly after we had to deal
with the Kepone pollution condemning all shell fish harvesting for years. Next the city of Virginia beach
opened the floodgates on growth allowing the next generation of pollution to develop till there was no more
land to build on. This was followed by tearing down the existing canal houses only to build bigger houses with
more contaminants. Sadly now that estuary is mostly dead with very little life but we have THOUSANDS of
BOATS with their trash, gas, and oil littering the backwaters that were at one time a very pristine habitat. Lets
now start filling in the marsh to build more Apartments. Do you really need that money for the budget?
You have used all the land on the waterfront so now you will fill in the marsh to build more. This is bad stop
now and maybe life will return in the next 70 years. As acting steuarts of the Lynnhaven Inlet you should be
ashamed of the job you have done.

Dear Mr. Dao, On June 9th the VB Planning Commission will review an application for 197 apartment units to be built in
Ocean Park. By now you have heard from many residents that the community overwhelmingly objects to the application
as submitted. The attachment clearly enumerates the many reasons for the community's objection so I will not relist but
I do have a couple of perspectives many of my neighbors do not. I have lived in Ocean Park for close to 40 years. 4
generations of my family have lived on the same property in Ocean Park starting in the early 1930's. From a 2 lane Shore
DR to 4 lanes. One of the most dangerous roads in the Beach.Today in the morning those going to work sometimes have
to wait 20 minutes to clear the intersection at Marlin Bay/Shady Oaks and Shore Drive.This past weekend was a
beautiful beach weekend. Non resident cars blocked our streets and even driveways. I watched as pedestrians tried to
safely scurry across Shore drive to the beach and held my breath for fear of another pedestrian fatality. The simple fact
is adding 197 residences with up to 400 occupants will overwhelm Ocean Park compromising its infrastructure and
quality of life.
The second perspective is my membership as member of first the Bayfront Advisory Committee and now what has
become the Bayfront Advisory Commission who on an 8-2 count advised Planning and Council to deny the proposed
project. Let me be clear; last year after 20 years I stepped down as a commission member. For 20 years I served to
protect the vision for the Shore Drive corridor as outlined by the original ULI study.The Shore Drive Corridor Plan and it's
Overlay District. In fact I was involved in creation and approval of many of the documents the city now uses to guide and
protect the corridor. Without question and foremost in many of the concepts applied was the principle that the corridor
was primarily residential and the character of existing neighborhoods should be preserved. Maintaining density of
course is critical to that goal. In working with Clay Bernick,the BAC Planning member of the committee/commission and
other staff members there was heavy deliberation over the guidelines for growth hence the creation of the overlay
district and it's criteria.At the time a hot topic in planning circles was mixed use where residential and
neighborhood service type commercial could be integrated in the same structure .The commission was shown pictures
of three story buildings with retail on the ground floor and residential above. More like a mini version of Towne Center
or what's proved to be successful in Newport News. Attractive and functional.The commission gave the green light for
its inclusion in the overlay guidelines. Fast forward to 2021 and a developer is trying to twist what the city and the
commission envisioned as mixed use to be able to maximize density. Gateway to Virginia Beach is what as commission
members we were charged by city council to protect and enhance. This project will do permanent damage to that goal.
It needs to be denied as proposed and sent back to the drawing boards. One of the parcels is already zoned residential
to a density that matches the highest currently existing in Ocean Park allowing a by right use that could, if properly
integrated with the commercial, produce a very high end high tax dollar community of homeowners with a well
designed retail center. Make no mistake the community wants the property developed but not at the cost of 197
residences,400 additional vehicles. I might add that the developers recent small unit reduction was disingenuous and
they have made no serious attempt to listen to the community. I appreciate you listening to me and hope staff and the
commission will put the community first not last.Thank you

Preserve Our Neighborhood ! !
• The Marlin Bay Development would destroy the character of Ocean Park, a small, historic community
with a strong neighborhood identity. A high-density apartment complex will set an alarming prece-
dent for any future projects.
• The historic Ocean Park neighborhood is composed of duplexes, townhouses and single-family
homes. We have no large multifamily complexes in the heart of Ocean Park. A large, multi-story
complex would negatively impact the identity and quality of life in Ocean Park.
:• The proposed apartment complex has 197 units, which averages 31.77 units per acre, more than
double the density of any recent Ocean Park development or any adjacent properties.
•: The current lots at the proposed Marlin Bay site are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. The proposed
"Conditional Use" change to B-4 Mixed Use zoning is inappropriate, as it is intended for com-
bined retail and housing. The inclusion of an existing retail boat sales business makes the zoning
change possible, but this retail is not `integrated' into the project as specified in the zoning language.
• Other recent projects have been rezoned to B4, but at much lower density: 14.29 apartments per
acre for example, not 31.77 per acre. These have been rezoned from B2 (retail) to B4 (mixed use),
not PDH1 to B4.
• This project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Dr. Corridor
Plan. Go to OPCL.orq for information about the ways this proposal fails to comply with the City's
stated plans. Both plans were adopted by the City Council and specify a goal of low density as a
goal for this area. The density of this project assures adverse cascading impacts to traffic, parking,
stormwater runoff, natural and cultural resources...
• The Bayfront Advisory Commission, appointed by the City Council, did NOT approve the project.
The project would sit directly adjacent to Pleasure House Point Natural Area: 118 quiet acres of
water, tidal marsh, sandy shores and maritime forest. The Comprehensive Plan provides specific
planning guidance "ensure that any development in the surrounding area is complementary with re-
gard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided by Pleas-
ure House Point."

Hello Mr. Dao,
I am opposed to the Marlin Bay Apartment Development. I am a resident of Ocean Park and own a
single family home. This apartment complex would not only destroy the character of my neighborhood
but would also negatively impact the identity and quality of life here in Ocean Park. The proposed
complex more than doubles the density of recent Ocean Park development. This project is not in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan. The Bayfront
Advisory Commission did not approve the project. Need I say more?

Mr Dao,
I have been a resident of Ocean Park since 2004 when I purchased my home at 3761 Jefferson Blvd.
I cannot say strenuously enough we oppose the Marlin Bay development project. It is too large! It
needs a zoning change, a problem right there! It needs all kinds of waivers of building codes that
were put in place to protect this residential area from disasters just like this!!
The density level is way too large. Shore Drive does not need another 300-400 more cars!! Every
apartment has the potential of two people and two cars. No, no and NO!
Please do not allow this project
Thank you,
Barbara Reinhardt Vraa.

Mr. Dao,
As a 20-year resident of Ocean Tides Drive, and in very close proximity to the proposed Marlin Bay
apartment development, I am writing to ask for your support in opposing the proposed rezoning and
development at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B-2/PDH-1 to a conditional B-4 zone. While I am not
opposed to all future development on this site, I do have significant concerns regarding the type of
rezoning being proposed for the Marlin Bay development:
•This type of apartment complex does not fit into the historic neighborhood of single family
homes, duplexes, and townhomes that is Ocean Park
• Large apartment complexes are clustered together near other dense-land spaces, not in small,
long-established neighborhoods, making such a proposed plan incongruent with the limited
footprint that exists within Ocean Park
•Once the property is rezoned, the developers could further develop the property. The parcels
are not under one ownership. If the Boat Sale parcel segregates itself, it could be
redeveloped as a separate parcel.
• My opposition is also based on these probable negative effects:
o the loss of neighborhood and community character I have enjoyed for over 20 years
o a decrease in the market value of my home
O overcrowding on our neighboring Chesapeake Bay beach which is already very narrow
o increased traffic congestion, adding to an already dangerous Shore Drive corridor
I appreciate your support of local voices in preserving our community.
Very respectfully.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am writing to express opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartment Complex and ask you not to recommend
approval of the zoning change that would allow its construction.
My husband and I own the end unit townhouse at 3836 Ocean Tides Drive and feel that our home would
arguably be one of two most negatively impacted if these apartments were to be built. The Ocean Park Civic
League shared a rendering of the new design that shows the complex will still be four stories tall, and the main
access to the complex will be a road just behind our house. Based on the current plan of 197 units, we feel
there will be considerable traffic and noise associated with the complex.
They plan to relocate the crossover, so that people who live on Ocean Tides Drive, our street, will have to drive
further and make a u-turn in order to reach their homes. It appears they will also close down the access to
Ocean Tides Drive/Shore Drive that many residents in the community use to reach the beach on the other
side. One can only imagine the nightmare that parked cars along Marlin Bay Drive will become, with guests of
the apartment complex parking along that stretch, restricting the ability of Virginia Beach residents to park
there to enjoy Pleasure House Point.
The height of the complex means that there will no longer be any afternoon sun along our stretch of homes,
and no more privacy in our own backyards since the apartments' residents would be able to look into our
homes and decks from the 3rd and 4th floors. The rendering does not show the kayak/canoe storage house
that the developer had originally planned to build directly next to our home, so we are not certain if that was
simply omitted or if it will still be added. The rendering does not show where waste containers from the
complex will be located, and I imagine there will be several large containers if there are close to 200
apartments!
We are also concerned about the negative financial impact this would have on the value of our home. With a
towering apartment complex behind us, and a new road only feet from our back fence with considerable traffic
morning and night, our home would be difficult to market should we decide to sell.
But more importantly, this complex would negatively impact the quality of life at our house.
The properties at Marlin Bay Drive should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning and City
planning guidelines: townhouses, duplexes and single-family homes, not a large high-density multi-family using
erroneous mixed-use rezoning. Again, please consider the negative impact this project would have on
homeowners like us, but also the negative impact it would have on the neighborhood of Ocean Park as a
whole. A project of that size should not be forced into such a small footprint.
Sincerely,
Andrina Fischer

Good Afternoon Mr. Dao,
Thank you for your time in advance of reading my email in its entirety. My name is Blair Horth and my fiance and I are
homeowners in the Ocean Park neighborhood. We actually have some history here, as well! We rented right down the
street from where we purchased our home on Clipper Bay Drive from September 2018 until October 2020. We began
our home search last summer and we just knew that we had to do everything we could to stay in Ocean Park. To say we
have fallen in love with everything about our neighborhood is an understatement. From the ability to ride bikes on the
well maintained bike paths, walk through Pleasure House Point, walk or bike ride to MANY of our favorite restaurants
along Shore Drive (and give back to our local restaurants and businesses!), and spend time enjoying the bay either by
walking at sunset or spending a weekend day on the water, we feel SO lucky that we are able to do all of these
activities in our backyard. My fiance even proposed to me while we were on a walk through Pleasure House Point,
making the neighborhood all the more special to us. After purchasing our home on the corner of Mystic Cove Drive and
Clipper Bay Drive in October 2020, we quickly signed up for the Ocean Park Civic League and paid our dues. We have
been looking forward to contributing to the causes that our neighborhood feels strongly about.
That is what brings me to writing to you today. Over the recent months, but more intensely over the past few weeks, we
have seen notices and heard the news about the proposed high density development on Marlin Bay. As a homeowner
on an adjacent property to this proposed development, I have to say that I STRONGLY disagree with any motion to move
this project forward. As young adults with a growing family,we chose to stay in the neighborhood because of what it
stands for and what it means to us. We believe that the proposed development should occur only within the existing
zoning and City Planning Guidelines. While it is a fabulous area to live, adding in high-density, multi-family homes to the
parcel will absolutely and fundamentally change the neighborhood character that so many neighbors over the years
have worked hard to build. The Shore Drive Corridor plans and standards that have been previously set should not be
altered so a developer can make a few extra dollars. If you treat the neighbors of Ocean Park right, we will surely
continue to give back to the stretch of land we love dearly.
When you sit down and think about the large investment you've made as a young adult;the perfect home,the perfect
neighborhood, amazing and caring neighbors,goals and plans made to stay in the area for many years to come... you
have to consider the way things change and how plans can get shifted, but if it's anything you can control, well then you
know for sure I'm going to do something about it.
Thank you for reading and please feel free to reach out with any further questions. I am looking forward to hearing from
you.
A lucky Ocean Park neighbor,
Blair Hort!

We are post to the Maryland Bay development project as proposed. the existing properties at Marlin
Bay Drive should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning and City planning guidelines to
include townhouses, duplexes and single-family homes, not a large high-density multi-family using
erroneous mixed-use rezoning as is currently being proposed.
we oppose this proposed complex because we believe the massive scale of the development will
fundamentally change the character of our neighborhood. We are also concerned that it will set a
terrible precedent by allowing development of an inappropriately high-density complex, which could
open the door for more similar projects in the future.
We are also worried for the high volume of traffic that this will bring in the already unsafe conditions
on shore Drive.

I have been a resident of Ocean Park for 15+ years. I am writing to you to express my opposition to
the Marlin Bay Apartment Building Development that is currently scheduled to go before the Virginia
Beach Planning Commission on June 9, 2021. I find it incredulous that this project would even be
considered for passing. The obvious reasons are:
(1) The increased vehicular traffic along Shore Drive which is already clogged with traffic. Several
years ago the speed limit was decreased to 35 mph due to many unfortunate deaths going to and
coming from many of the restaurants and/or bars along Shore Drive. Now you are being asked to
approved an apartment community that not only would increase vehicular traffic but put the lives of
many people at risk who try to cross Shore Drive ON FOOT in order to get to the Chesapeake Bay
beach. Not only are these people toting small children, beach carts loaded with chairs, beach toys,
refreshments, etc. The need to protect our citizens from added vehicular traffic is utmost.
(2) With 197 units the area would be looking at 591 people (3 people per unit) and 394 cars (2 cars
per unit). That is more people and more cars that live on 8+ blocks in this area.
(3) I understand that the proposed apartment complex averages 31.77 units per acre, more than
double the density of any recent Ocean Park development or any adjacent properties.
(4) I understand that the current lots at the proposed Marlin Bay site are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. The
proposed "Conditional Use" change to B-4 Mixed Use zoning is inappropriate, as it is intended for
combined retail and housing. The inclusion of an existing retail boat sales business makes the zoning
change possible, but this retail is not "integrated" into the project as specified in the zoning language.
(5) I understand other recent projects have been rezoned to B-4, but at a much lower density: 14.29
apartments per acre for example, not 31.77 per acre. These have been rezoned from B2 (retail) to B4
(mixed use), not PDH1 to B4.
(6) I understand that this project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore
Drive Corridor Plan. Both plans were adopted by the City Council and specify a goal of LOW
DENSITY as a goal for this area. The density of this project assures adverse cascading impacts to
traffic, parking, storm water runoff, natural and cultural resources.
(7) I understand the Bayfront Advisory Commission, appointed by the City Council, DID NOT
APPROVE THE PROJECT.
(8) The project would sit directly adjacent to Pleasure House Point Natural Area. If you haven't been
there, go see for yourself the 118 acres of water, tidal marsh, sandy shores and maritime forest. The
Comprehensive Plan provides specific planning guidance "ensure that any development in the
surrounding area is complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource
and open space amenity provided by
Pleasure House Point." I do not see where this apartment complex would be a complement to this
beautiful, tranquil natural area that was saved by our city.

Hello Mr Dao, my name is Graham Simpson and I am a resident of Ocean Park in Virginia Beach. I
am very concerned about the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment Development project. First and
foremost, I moved to Ocean Park for the quiet and peaceful nature of the neighborhood. This project
would change that. Not to mention that the zoning and comprehensive plan are not in compliance
with the city plan. Secondly, the traffic on Shore Drive is already bad. We don't need to add to this
problem. This traffic presents a safety issue for the many residents who walk and ride bicycles in our
neighborhood. Third, our beaches are another reason that so many people moved to our
neighborhood. They have more of a local feel because they are clean and not overcrowded. Adding
this number of new people to our beaches will cause us to loose that local feel, increase the amount
of trash, increase the number of people on our beach, and make our beaches less safe. Please
consider leaving things the way they are so we can keep our beautiful Virginia Beach neighborhood
the way that it is. Beautiful. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Graham Simpson. 757-560-

I am not sure how this project got to this point. It should never have had any traction due to the negative impact it will
have on Ocean Park. I know everyone is always looking for revenue to help the city grow. But, not this way. Why make
Shore Drive worse that it is now. Shore Drive is constantly a mess, due to accidents,some being fatal. This project will
add even more cars on the road. The beaches in this area are filled to capacity every weekend. Adding more nearby
apartments will just add to the over crowded beaches and roads.
B-4 mixed use zoning will be inappropriate and against the City's Comprehensive Plan. There is lots of land where these
apartments could be built and have room for the hundreds of people. Move this development to the Court House area
or beyond where there is land that won't compromise already existing developments.
The city needs to address this immediately and not look at how much revenue this will bring, but how upset people will
be on the Shore Drive Corridor. If this passes I am sure residents in this area will put their houses on the market. No
one wants our areas to be overrun with cars, people, and possibly other undesirable acts.

Dear Mr. Dao and Members of the Virginia Beach Planning Commission:
I am a long time resident of Ocean Park, and specifically the area formerly known as Sylvan Beach. My parents
purchased a Bay-front lot in 1937, and built a small cottage on the property in 1953. From 1953 until now,four
generations of my family have enjoyed the relative peace and quiet of this neighborhood, using our home sometimes as
a full time residence and at other times as our vacation paradise. I, my children, and now my grandchildren have spent
many happy times at our home, on the beach, and in the general area. We have loved periodically visiting the busy
ocean front and other area attractions, but have always been thankful to be able to return to our quiet and relatively
uncrowded neighborhood community.
Of course,we recognize the inevitable growth that has taken place over the years since I, as a teenager,traveled over
the wooden two lane drawbridge crossing the Lynnhaven Inlet to work at my first job at a Dairy Queen on Atlantic
Avenue for$1.00 an hour. We know that progress (?) and increasing population density and traffic are part and parcel of
our modern world, but we have had faith that our elected and appointed government officials would work for and with
us to preserve the character of our family neighborhood.That faith has been severely tested by such aberrations as the
building complex which practically hangs over the otherwise beautiful new Lesner Bridge.
Yes, property owners wish to maximize the value of their properties and make as much as they can when the properties
are sold or developed and yes,the City of Virginia Beach is hungry for tax revenue, but at what expense to the folks who
have a vested interest in preserving the character of the neighborhoods they live in.These are the folks who have
supported and worked to improve the areas they live in and have paid ever increasing property taxes year after year.
(My current yearly tax burden is nearly 15 times the original price of the lot my parents purchased in 1937!)
It is my sincere hope, and a hope and desire of the vast majority of my neighbors,that the proposed Marlin Bay
Development project will be turned down and forcefully defeated so that future development in our area can proceed in
a manner fully consistent with existing planning guidance.
PLEASE do not allow this proposed complex to have an inevitable and hugely negative impact on the identity and quality
of our lives in Ocean Park. The very qualities that have made our community desirable for years are endangered by
continued rampant development.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and concern for our future in Ocean Park.

Good afternoon Mr. Dao,
I write to you in opposition of the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment Development on Shore Drive in Virginia Beach. I
consider myself a local and have lived in the immediate vicinity of this proposed construction since 2013.
One of the things I love the most about the Shore Drive area is its peaceful, escape from the traffic and tourist madness
that is the rest of the city. I work as a 911 dispatcher for the city and I love the feeling that I get when driving home from
work; I know that I can escape to the small beach community that I call home.
Over the last couple of years it seems there are more and more tourists and new residents pushing into the Shore Drive
neighborhoods. Im sure you'll remember Floatopia a couple years ago and that Chics beach was completely trashed. If
you allow this apartment complex to be built, it will completely ruin the small town, beach community that we are
already fighting so hard to preserve.
I love where I live. I support the city and the local law enforcement and public safety professionals and the work they do
to protect us. Please don't take Shore Drive away from us.
Sincerely,
Raegan Reints

Good morning,
I am reaching out to convey my opposition to the Marlin Bay Development. As a resident of Ocean Park, I have enjoyed
the quiet and peaceful neighborhood I have called home for several years.
If you have not been to our beach, you should come and see how lovely it is. The quiet,the family atmosphere. And
come on a summer weekend at noon. See how it's just enough families and friends. Now, imagine that beach with the
Marlin Bay residents- how little beach there will be to enjoy. Oh, and the dunes are gone, as well.
When there is traffic or an accident,the cars line up for miles,which is disrupting since there are only two ways to get to
our development, and both are a hassle to drive to get to the other way if one way is blocked off. Imagine adding
hundreds more residents with endless cars.That is not safe, or makes a walking friendly neighborhood.
Even though the land they want to develop is not pretty, I would rather it be the way it is than have more people clog up
the area. We need the property to be developed correctly, or people will start to leave. As someone who is buying a
home in the future, I wouldn't want to stay in Ocean Park if the complex was built. But, build something that is zoned
properly, like a condo, and you might just have a buyer.
The project is not in compliance with the city's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan.These plans were
adopted by the city council and specify a goal for low density as a goal for this area. In addition,the Bayfront Advisory
Commission, appointed BY THE City Council, DID NOT APPROVE THIS PROJECT.
The current lots at the proposed Marlin Bay site are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. The proposed "Conditional Use" change to
the B-4 Mixed Use is inappropriate, as it is intended for combined retail and housing.The inclusion of an existing retail
boat sales business makes the zoning change possible, but this retail is not "integrated" in the project, as specified in the
zoning language. Other recent projects have been rezoned to B4, but at much lower density: 14.29 apartments per acre
for example, not 31.77 per acre.
I urge you to listen to the residents of Shore Drive and concerned citizens on the matter of the Marlin Bay apartments.
Thank you for your consideration,

Mr. Dao,
I am writing in regard to the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment Development on the corner of Shore Dr. and
Marlin Bay Dr. As a property owner in Ocean Park, I am strongly opposed to this project going forward. My
concern is that the development is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and that the density
zoning would negatively impact our quality of life due to more traffic, noise, and population. We have seen
how good stewardship of land within our city can be achieved by looking at the adjacent Pleasure House Point
Natural Area. By working with the State,the city of Virginia Beach was able to turn this area into a green space
that is today enjoyed by countless people. This is an example of development that is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan and takes into account the existing character of the surrounding area.
It takes strong leadership and people who value other uses of land besides high density development to lead the
way to a better quality of life for Virginia Beach residents. Please adhere to the principles set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan which provides specific guidance ("ensure that any development in the surrounding area is
complimentary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided
by Pleasure House Point.") It is my sincere hope that you will step forward and stop this development and
consider an alternative use for this land that better fits our established neighborhood.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah Johnson

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been a resident of Ocean Park for 30+ years. I am writing to you to express my opposition to
the Marlin Bay Apartment Building Development that is currently scheduled to go before the Virginia
Beach Planning Commission on June 9, 2021. I find it incredulous that this project would even be
considered for passing. The obvious reasons are:
(1) The increased vehicular traffic along Shore Drive which is already clogged with traffic. Several
years ago the speed limit was decreased to 35 mph due to many unfortunate deaths going to and
coming from many of the restaurants and/or bars along Shore Drive. Now you are being asked to
approved an apartment community that not only would increase vehicular traffic but put the lives of
many people at risk who try to cross Shore Drive ON FOOT in order to get to the Chesapeake Bay
beach. Not only are these people toting small children, beach carts loaded with chairs, beach toys,
refreshments, etc., but I also observed one couple, in addition to all of this, pulling a kayak! The need
to protect our citizens from added vehicular traffic is utmost.
(2) Reducing the number of units to 197 does not help the increase in vehicular traffic. We would still
experience a traffic increase.
(3) I understand that the proposed apartment complex averages 31.77 units per acre, more than
double the density of any recent Ocean Park development or any adjacent properties.
(4) I understand that the current lots at the proposed Marlin Bay site are zoned PDH-1 and B-2. The
proposed "Conditional Use" change to B-4 Mixed Use zoning is inappropriate, as it is intended for
combined retail and housing. The inclusion of an existing retail boat sales business makes the zoning
change possible, but this retail is not "integrated" into the project as specified in the zoning language.
(5) I understand other recent projects have been rezoned to B-4, but at a much lower density: 14.29
apartments per acre for example, not 31.77 per acre. These have been rezoned from B2 (retail) to B4
(mixed use), not PDH1 to B4.
(6) I understand that this project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore
Drive Corridor Plan. Both plans were adopted by the City Council and specify a goal of LOW
DENSITY as a goal for this area. The density of this project assures adverse cascading impacts to
traffic, parking, storm water runoff, natural and cultural resources.
(7) I understand the Bayfront Advisory Commission, appointed by the City Council, DID NOT
APPROVE THE PROJECT.
(8) The project would sit directly adjacent to Pleasure House Point Natural Area. If you haven't been
there, go see for yourself the 118 acres of water, tidal marsh, sandy shores and maritime forest. The
Comprehensive Plan provides specific planning guidance "ensure that any development in the
surrounding area is complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource
and open space amenity provided by
Pleasure House Point." I do not see where this apartment complex would be a complement to this
beautiful, tranquil natural area that was saved by our city.

Mr. Dao,
I am writing to you in reference to the above project. I and many others in Ocean Park,
are emphatically opposed to more dense housing in the Shore Drive corridor, in particular,
the project being proposed at the corner of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive. This
proposed project will only serve to increase traffic and personnel density, and have a
negative impact on the wetlands nearby. The space should be utilized as a green space
project of some sort, especially with all the effort which went into the Pleasure House Point
project to preserve the wetlands. The Pleasure House Point project, a joint project between
the City of Virginia Beach and the State, did a marvelous job of preserving the wetlands
and making the wetlands an enjoyable place to walk, observe nature and advocate/educate
for the need to preserve green space and strive for renewable energy where possible. This
project would just smack all that effort in the face and prove Virginia Beach as being
"hypocritical" in their educational and preservation efforts. Please think this through
thoroughly and come up with a better solution for the citizens of Ocean Park and Virginia
Beach.
Respectfully,
Thomas Johnson

Dear Mr.Dao and Planning Commission Members,
I am strongly opposed to the Marlin Bay Apartment Complex development being proposed in Ocean Park.This development is outsized for this location.
The area anywhere near this property,on both sides of Shore Drive,consists of town homes,duplexes and single family homes.This large apartment
complex with a 4 1/2 story parking garage is wildly out of place.This massive building complex does not belong on that property and the property should
not be rezoned to accommodate it.Nothing around it approaches that level of density or massive scale.The developed property should fit in with its
surroundings:what should go there are duplexes,town homes,single family houses so that the new development fits in with the existing neighborhood.
Both the Comprehensive Plan and the Shore Drive Design Guidelines have something solid to say about infill development.They make clear statements
that infill development should be consistent with the surrounding properties and it should be at the lowest possible density.This project is neither and is
not consistent with what those City approved plans lay out.
For example the Staff Planner Recommendation for a recent project on Shore Dr.(3746,3744 Shore Dr.) began with this:"The proposed rezoning is
consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for Suburban Focus Area 1-Shore Drive Corridor by promoting compatible infill
development at a density compatible to the surrounding area.The residential density of the proposed eight unit development is 14.29 per acre."This
development is only several hundred feet from the current property.Another recent project on Shore Dr.at 3739 Shore Dr.which is also very close to the
Marlin Bay property, included this statement from the Staff Planner:"Planning policies that apply to this request include... avoiding over-
commercialization,preserving and protecting the character of the established neighborhoods and achieving the lowest reasonable density for future
uses.(1-70-1-71).This project is the antithesis of those statements.
Ocean Park is a unique place for us.The military sent our family all over the world as we moved so many times for military assignments.Then the time came
to choose where we wanted to be instead of being told where to live. We had waited so long to do that.We lived near many beach communities:Pacific
Grove,the panhandle of Florida.We have family in many beach communities:Cape May,Lewes,Cape Cod and had always thought we would go to one of
those that we knew.We started staying at the Cottages on Dam Neck and started getting to know Virginia Beach.When we found Ocean Park,the search
ended.The unique atmosphere,the character of Ocean Park was irresistible.We love that Ocean Park is a real neighborhood.We love that it was such an
eclectic mix with no two streets the same.We love that it is small enough to know the people in the community.We love that people speak to each other
on the street as a habit.I have heard versions of our experience over and over again from people of all ages-young families to retired folks.Ocean Park is
special and places like it are not easily found and should not be cavalierly lost.The City of Virginia Beach should not squander the unique character of Ocean
Park through inappropriate overdevelopment.The residents of Ocean Park should not have this development imposed on our neighborhood changing its
character that drew us here.
This large apartment complex will bring an influx of hundreds of people and a huge imposing building with a massive 397 space 4 1/2 story parking garage.
It will stick out like a sore thumb.This complex doesn't belong here in this small corner of Virginia Beach.The residents don't want it.I oppose it in the
strongest terms as a resident and a property owner.
Please do not approve it.
Sincerely,
Andrea Lindemann
Ocean Park Resident

Dear Planning Commissioner,
I am writing to express my concern about The Marlin Bay Apartment complex and the negative impact it would have on
the Ocean Park Community. A high density apartment complex would cause a significant strain on the beaches, roads,
and natural resources of our small community,
The City's comprehensive Plan and Shore Drive Corridor Plan are in place for a reason and this project is not in
compliance with these plans. During the busy summer months our streets and beaches are already very crowded and
traffic on Shore Drive increases significantly. I know that change is inevitable but a change of this magnitude would have
adverse effects that would harm our entire community. I respectfully request that you reconsider this project and stop
the rezoning and development of the Marlin Bay Apartments. Please help to preserve the small town beach community
of Ocean Park.Thank you so much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lisa Shaughness
Love God, love people

Hi Mr. Dao,
I hope my message finds you well. I'm writing to ask that you preserve the neighborhood of Ocean Park and not allow a
high density apartment complex to be built in our area.The Marlin Bay Apartment complex would negatively impact our
quality of life as residents of this small community as it would double the density of any recent Ocean Park
development. Ocean Park is composed of duplexes,town homes, and single family homes.Our beaches, natural
resources, parking, and our roads would not be able to healthily sustain such a high density of residents in the area.
This project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan.These plans are in
place for a reason. In the summertime,all our neighborhood streets are already crowded with cars and our beach is a
local favorite.We enjoy being able to take our dog for walks on the beach without having to worry about a high volume
of people or other dogs crowding the beach. We enjoy living in this area as we have a short commute to work with little
traffic on Shore Drive.We love the small, beach town feel of our neighborhood.We understand that change is a part of
life, but this change would be to the detriment of our entire community.We hope you'll consider our perspective and
please stop the rezoning and development of the Marlin Bay Apartments.Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mr Dao
Please, Please look at this area on a MAP and you will see there is not enough space for more autos
on Shore Drive AND unless you/or God enlarges/adds to the land area you and we all will be
looking/waiting for a catastrophe. Take a look at the map; there are only two ways out of this area
and all the autos are on the same road out of here just during a normal morning and evening home
from work the traffic is a nightmare; AND during a recent couple of accidents at each end of Shore
Dr. traffic was at a halt for hours.
As I asked, look at the map. This area is surrounded by WATER and one way out is Great Neck and
the other North Hampton Blvd. As you can see, should a catastrophe happen we would all be sitting
in the traffic and most would not make it out
And as to a huge catastrophe, what about the single life of one of our neighbors calling for an an
ambulance or the ambulance trying to drive through the HALTED TRAFFIC... shall we call on you to
move this traffic...and. save a life
As I said earlier in this memo: there is NO more land available to enlarge the road. I simply do not
understand why Virginia Beach is so in need of more tax money at the risk of putting thousands of
peoples lives at risk..

Dear Mr. Dao and Virginia Beach Planning Commission Members:
I live in the Ocean Park section of Virginia Beach and last year I sent a letter to City Council members, Planning
Commission members and the Bayfront Advisory Committee members,voicing my concerns about the planned Marlin
Bay apartment development. Since then, more and more of my neighbors have voiced similar concerns and the
development has now been reduced in number from 227 units to 197.
While this is encouraging,this number is still way too high and will have a negative impact on this already densely
populated area, which I believe may already be the most densely populated area in Virginia Beach. Please hear my
concerns, and those of my neighbors, and do not move forward with this proposal.
The density will impact traffic on Shore Drive, which is already very busy, not only with automobiles, motorcycles and
bicycles, but foot traffic, crossing Shore Drive to the beach. Sadly,the 3S-mph speed limit in place is rarely adhered
to. Since I moved here in 2003, I have seen this happen with the addition of several high rises and the Westminster
Canterbury expansion. It will also impact schools, emergency services, parking and infrastructure.
Ocean Park has a distinct character and "feel" — beach-loving families with strong community interest and relationships
and the addition of an apartment complex is just not welcome. We are the tax payers and deserve the right to keep it
that way.
In addition:
• This will set a precedent for future unwanted development
• The change to B-4 zoning is not appropriate,since it is intended for mixed retail and housing (the existing retail
boat sales business is not integrated into the project).
• I understand the project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor
Plan (which appears to be stalled). From the City's Comprehensive Plan:
"The planning policies that apply to the entire Shore Drive Corridor and Bayfront Communities are:
- Preserve and protect the character of the established neighborhoods
-Achieve the lowest reasonable density for future residential uses." page (1-71)"
• The Bayfront Advisory Commission, appointed by the City Council, did not approve the project.
I do realize there are many important issues of concern facing our City at this time, but please make this project and my
neighborhood's concerns top priority. I remember how our community's voice was heard some years ago,when the
1
Pleasure House Point Natural Area was in danger of becoming a mixed use, high density development. Now we have a
beautiful park to enjoy, but this project would sit directly adjacent to it.
While I am not opposed to development of this property, I am opposed to another residential addition here. I feel
Ocean Park and the surrounding area is over-developed already.Surely there are other options more in line with the
quality of life our Community deserves.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Patricia Mirani

Dear Mr. Dao,
I strongly oppose the Marlin Bay Apartment Development project. This project will degrade the Ocean Park
neighborhood, massively increase an already dense concentration of Shore Drive traffic and potentially lower Ocean

I would like to voice my opinion on the opposing of the Marlin Bay apartment development.
This community is not designed to supposed the influx of people a multi unit apartment complex will
bring. Trying to get out of the neighborhood into shore drive is already difficult, forget trying to cross
the road, now to add 187 more units with multiple cars per unit.
This development will destroy the charm and history of Chics beach.

PLEASE do NOT approve the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment Complex in Ocean Park. This development far
exceeds the appropriate density for our neighborhood; will cause significant traffic and parking issues (in spite
of what the developer says); will fundamentally change the nature and character of our neighborhood and will
set a terrible precedent for inappropriately high density along Shore Drive. Our neighborhood is unique and
beloved for its character. That special character has been enshrined by the City's Comprehensive and Shore
Drive Corridor Plans. We already have problems with over building within the current zoning
guidelines. Permitting zoning changes to accommodate a huge project like this will greatly negatively affect
the quality of life in Ocean Park. We implore you NOT to approve it.

PLEASE LIMIT development in Ocean Park. As a resident of Baylake Pines, right on Shore Drive, the
traffic has exponentially become heavier/worse over the 8+ years we've been here.
Motorcycles rev their engines, other loud vehicles and trucks are disturbing at all hours throughout
the year, but especially in summer. An aggressive and speeding drivers seem the norm.
I'm begging you to also consider a mobile speed monitor to help insist people slow down!
The accident on April 21 by a speeder who died in the median was deeply disturbing as well. I hate to

Dear Mr. Dao
My name is Devin West. I am a homeowner in Ocean Park. My Address is 3708 E Stratford Rd.
I oppose the request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Drive from B2-PDH-1 to
conditional B4. I do not oppose all development in the area, but it needs to be in the best interest of the community and
quality of life in ocean park. I understand that some modest changes were presented to the bayfront commission earlier
this month.These changes had very little effect on the density of the development. They were not enough.A less dense
condo complex would be a more appropriate use of the space.
• According to the Shore Dr overlay, a parcel of land of 4 acres or more can have 36 units per acre,which is
108, not 227.
• A full environmental study needs to be performed,to determine the impact on the Pleasure House Point
Natural Area. The assertion that the project will have less environmental impact and lower volume of runoff
than the existing structures is not logical. Further investigation is needed...
• Parking is already a problem in the area and it is likely that street parking will spill onto marlin bay and the
surrounding neighborhoods, including mine.
• The impact to emergency response, including EMS and Fire.The area is already dense and has experienced
multiple fires in recent history. As an EMS volunteer this really worries me. I want make sure any development is
fully thought out in regards to public safety.
• I do not believe this development is in line with the Virginia Beach comprehensive plan.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I know the city and its officials are under considerable stress right now and
as a resident, I appreciate the job that you are all doing.
If you have any questions,feel free to reach out to me via email or phone 757-718-1625

Mr. Dao
As a resident of Ocean Park for nearly 30 years I am writing to you to express my concern about the Marlin
Bay development project. I believe that rezoning at this time is not what this area needs. I have no initial problem with
redevelopment but I believe that this development with a large parking structure and 197 units will negatively impact
the community. Aside from the additional traffic on the already overcrowded shore Drive corridor, I believe there will
be negative consequences to the natural resources and open spaces of pleasure House point.
It is my understanding that this project is not in compliance with the cities comprehensive plan or the shore Drive
corridor plan. I would hope that the city planners would take another eagle eyed look at this project and its impact not
only on the current residents of Ocean park but on future development that may be impacted by the approval of this
complex.
Thank you for listening to my concerns.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I have owned a home at 2173 Woodlawn Avenue in Ocean Park continuously since 1995. I am writing to STRONGLY
OPPOSE rezoning for the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments.
In short,the proposed development would diminish quality of life for taxpaying homeowners in Ocean Park for the
following reasons:
-The project is too large and too dense. A density of more than 31 units per acre is more than twice as dense as any
recent neighborhood development.
-Any parking garage, not to mention a 4 1/2 story behemoth, is not in line with the character of Ocean Park.
-The character of Ocean Park is its draw. Duplexes,townhouses, and single family homes define the neighborhood. A
massive apartment complex is not in line with the neighborhood.
-THE PROJECT FAILED TO RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM THE BAYFRONT ADVISORY COMMISSION, a group appointed by the

Mr. Dao,
My wife and I are opposed to the change in Zoning to accommodate the proposed
creation of the 'Marlin Bay Apartments' building to be located on the corner of Marlin
Bay and Shore Drive.
The addition of yet another multifamily structure, similar in scope of the 'Overture Adult
Apartments', in the Shore Drive Corridor will further dilute the single-family home
community that is the core, the charm and the ownership value of Ocean Park.
Where 'The Signature at West Neck' in Virginia Beach was a community built around a
premier golf course, the golf course closed in 2019, and the community lost the key
amenity that drove housing sales. The existing homeowner's property is subsequently
devalued, as it is no longer a golfing community.
The City's single-family neighborhoods - key amenity- is their individual `community'.
For most, like us, choosing an established neighborhood with permanent residents,
invested in property ownership is what drives the individual choice to buy-in and to plant
deep roots. A commitment that requires a long-term mortgage and obligates reliable
real estate tax revenue. In exchange for those paid real estate taxes, there is an
expectation the City will support its residents and provide common services such as
complete sidewalks, and improved storm drains, which have been promised for over 20
years, in Ocean Park, by the way.
Where long term apartment renters may not have the full investment of an 'owner', they are
temporary as compared to a mortgage holder and typically do not have the same obligation
or motivation to improve the property they live in.
As proposed, the apartments will be managed as their own entity, a civic island of their own
within the political boundaries of Ocean Park. Regrettably, I foresee a contentious and non-
participatory relationship that will most likely exist between these potential new neighbors.
The location itself, is adjacent to the Pleasure House Point reserve which continues to
become a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The quiet simplicity of the area will be
broken with the bustle of apartments dwellers. On street parking, as not lot is provided, for
this amenity will also be challenged.
1
Personally I fear that the 1400+ homes in Ocean Park will be devalued as density is
disproportionately increased.
As you are aware, Ocean Park objected to, and was successful in being excluded in a
Short Term 'Overlay' district, keeping the vacationing property choices further east to the
Ocean Front. Here to, the motivation was to maintain the community as permanent and not
transient.
From my perspective, I understand the motivation to develop the property and profit from it. I
also clearly see the City's desire to have an increase tax revenue base from a more densely
populated area.
As I am an individual with little influence, my hope is to have an advocate in the Planning
Administration and Commission to see my motivation to maintain this community in the form
that it currently and has historically existed; stable, permanent and with appreciating value.
Please recommend its defeat to the Commission and Council.

Hello Mr. Dao,
I want to write to you to express my opposition towards the Marlin Bay Development. I live in Three Ships Landing which
is directly across shore drive from the proposed development.The magnitude of this proposal is far too large for this
neighborhood.The allure of the ocean park neighborhood is the small,family friendly feel.This is why this neighborhood
is so desirable. By adding a large number of apartments, our already overcrowded beaches will become unusable for
families such as mine.The proposition of changing the zoning in our neighborhood just so that an apartment complex
can get built is absurd and makes me wonder who is financially benefiting from this? I can assure you, it would not be
the families already in this neighborhood that will be benefiting. As a board member of Three Ships Landing, I can speak
for many members in our community that don't approve of this project. We aren't against all developments in this
location, but the magnitude of this project would destroy the reason people move to this neighborhood. Additionally,
there are already a lot of car accidents along shore drive, adding a large amount of people who aren't aware of all the
children playing in the neighborhood would be a recipe for disaster. Once again, I want to express that I am vehemently
against this proposed development! A few townhomes would be a much better use of this area and would maintain the
family oriented, safe neighborhood that we all love.
Thanks for your time,
Chris Sardon

Mr. Dao,
I'm writing to you today to let you know the Marlin Bay Apartment Development is NOT wanted in our
neighborhood. I believe that this large development will fundamentally change the nature and character of
our neighborhood. It will set a terrible precedent for inappropriately high density that could open the door for
more similar projects in the future.
The properties at Marlin Bay Drive should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning and City
planning guidelines: townhouses, duplexes and single-family homes, not a large high-density multi-family
using erroneous mixed-use rezoning.
I'm asking you to please oppose the Marlin Bay Apartment Development.
Sincerely,
Ocean Park homeowner

Hello Mr. Dao,
I'm writing you today to let you know the Marlin Bay Apartment Development is NOT wanted in our

Lesner go from the cozy neighborhood it currently is, to a bunch of developments and high-rise buildings. The

RE: Marlin Bay Apartments/Rezoning
Dear Sir,
I have lived in Ocean Park for over 30 years. During this time, it has grown as a vibrant neighborhood
with a wonderful blend of families and individuals. Its proximity to Natural areas, the beach and Local
businesses as well as being in a great school district make it a desireable place to live and raise a family.
I am strongly opposed to the proposed Marlin Bay apartment development. I am concerned with the
sheer volume of people and autos that will impact our neighborhood adversely.The traffic on Shore Drive
at the proposed area is already overwhelming, including recent fatalities of drivers and pedestrians.
Pleasure House Point natural area will be directly across the street.As part of the Civic League that assists
in the Adopt A Spot that cares for PHP, I have seen the impact increased use has on this fragile
environment including trash, pet feces,and disturbance of wildlife.
Ocean Park is a wonderful place with families just starting out and growing, retirees and pretty much
everyone in between.Several Hundred rental units will undoubtedly tip the balance of the neighborhood
in a negative and permanent way.
Say NO to this project

RE: Marlin Bay Apartments/ Rezoning
Dear Sir:
My husband and I live adjacent to the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments and rezoning
of the properties adjacent to it.
We would like to express how strongly opposed we are to both the project and the
rezoning, based upon the severe increase in density and subsequent traffic problems
as well as parking concerns. Our neighborhood already struggles with sufficient
street parking. As for traffic, it is not yet tourist season but we have already witnessed
a surge in accidents in nearby intersections.
We have lived here a long time, watching the development as it decreases the green
spaces around us. We live across from the Pleasure House Point Natural Area and
conduct the Adopt-A-Spot cleanups on behalf of the Ocean Park Civic League. In this
capacity, we see the stress that increased traffic in the park (trash, unauthorized use
of the space, uncollected dog feces, etc.) puts upon this area. An influx of the numbers
of people in an apartment complex of this size would, most assuredly, wreak
significant damage on this precious and vital part of our neighborhood.
We therefore urge you and the other members to vote no to the rezoning for the
purposes of rental properties at this location.
Respectfully, .7 -)7

Ocean Park
Dear Mr. Dao:
As a resident and property owner in Ocean Park for over thirty years,I've seen plenty of
changes to this very unique neighborhood during that time and the proposed Marlin Bay
Apartment project with its 197 apartment units,is the last thing that should ever be
constructed, let alone even considered, for Ocean Park.
The proposed 197-unit apartment complex,with its 4-1/2 story parking garage, along
with its density of 31.8 units per acre,is in no way, compatible with the existing character
of the residential uses in the surrounding area and fails to meet the criteria required by the
City's Comprehensive and Shore Drive Corridor Plans. The Bayfront Advisory
Commission was absolutely correct to reject the design for this project as it is
incompatible with the Design Guidelines for Shore Drive.
There is already way too much traffic,too much pavement,too much on street parking,
too much development,too much runoff,too much density, etc. and this tiny Ocean Park
neighborhood just can't stand anymore. This is the wrong development,with the wrong
design,at the wrong time and most importantly,in the wrong place.
Understandably,I strongly oppose the approval of the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment
project for the reasons stated above and respectfully request the City of Virginia Beach
do the same.

Re: Proposed Marlin Bay Development,Ocean Park
Dear Mr. Dao:
Over the last year and a half,we have heard that the property along Shore Drive and Marlin Bay which
includes the Browning and Lynnhaven Marine property was going to be developed into residential
housing. Recently,the project became a major concern,when it was announced that the proposed
development was going to be submitted to the City Planning Commission in June with the request for
rezoning that would double the allowable units per acre. As residents of Ocean Park and Baylake Pines
for over 40 years,we strongly recommend that the Commission "REJECT"this rezoning/density increase
request.The following issues hopefully support our position:
1- The City spends a great deal of money to deal with flooding and potential hurricane
problems. Increasing density along the Shore Drive corridor compounds the problem in case
evacuation is ordered/required. High tides currently flood large portions of Pleasure Point.
2- The project is going to result in a considerable amount of impenetrable surfaces(roofs,
drive-ways, sidewalks, parking spaces, swimming pool area,etc.). There did not appear to
be a retention pond planned to collect the run-off. Allowing this water/debris to end up in
the Lynnhaven Inlet would negate a great deal of progress that has been achieved in recent
years.
3- The proposed apartment complex has 200 units which equates to 400 plus occupants(not
including guess) and probable 250 cars. Shore Drive becomes a large issue/hazard in
crossing to walk to the beach and a sizable amount of vehicle traffic getting on and off Shore
Drive adds congestion.
Thank you in advance for rejecting the rezoning of the Marlin Bay Development.

Mr. Dao,
Thank you for your time in advance of reading my letter in its entirety. My name is Blair Horth and my
fiancé and I are homeowners in the Ocean Park neighborhood.We actually have some history here, as
well! We rented right down the street from where we purchased our home on Clipper Bay Drive from
September 2018 until October 2020.We began our home search last summer and we just knew that
we had to do everything we could to stay in Ocean Park.To say we have fallen in love with everything
about our neighborhood is an understatement. From the ability to ride bikes on the well maintained
bike paths, walk through Pleasure House Point, walk or bike ride to MANY of our favorite restaurants
along Shore Drive (and give back to our local restaurants and businesses!), and spend time enjoying
the bay either by walking at sunset or spending a weekend day on the water,we feel SO lucky that we
are able to do all of these activities in our backyard. My fiancé even proposed to me while we were on
a walk through the paths of Pleasure House Point, making the neighborhood even more special to us.
After purchasing our home on the corner of Mystic Cove Drive and Clipper Bay Drive in October 2020,
we quickly signed up for the Ocean Park Civic League and paid our dues. We have been looking
forward to contributing to the causes that our neighborhood feels strongly about.
That is what brings me to writing to you today. Over the recent months, but more intensely over the
past few weeks, we have seen notices and heard the news about the proposed high-
density development on Marlin Bay. As a homeowner on an adjacent property to this proposed
development, I have to say that I STRONGLY disagree with any motion to move this project forward.As
young adults with a growing family,we chose to stay in the neighborhood because of what it stands for
and what it means to us. We believe that the proposed development should occur only within the
existing zoning and City Planning Guidelines.While it is a fabulous area to live,adding in high-density,
multi-family homes to the parcel will absolutely and fundamentally change the neighborhood character
that so many neighbors over the years have worked hard to build.The Shore Drive Corridor plans and
standards that have been previously set should not be altered so a developer can make a few extra
dollars. If you treat the neighbors of Ocean Park right,we will surely continue to give back to the stretch
of land we love dearly.
When you sit down and think about the large investment you've made as a young adult; the perfect
home, the perfect neighborhood, amazing and caring neighbors, goals and plans made to stay in the
area for many years to come... you have to consider the way things change and how plans can get
shifted,but if it's anything you can control,well then you know for sure I'm going to do something about
it.
Thank you for reading and please feel free to reach out with any further questions. I am looking forward
to hearing from you.
A lucky Ocean Park neighbor,

I am a frequent visitor/local to the Ocean Park community and am writing to express my concerns regarding the
proposed Marlin Bay development. The developer is requesting a zoning change to allow for a higher density
development than what exists in the community. I strongly feel this will negatively impact the character and charm in
our community and is unlike existing structures in our area.
I do feel that development in that lot is beneficial, however any solutions should be consistent with the existing policies,
and therefore community. I strongly hope the council does not approve this zoning change and continue to ensure
development along the Shore Dr corridor remains consistent with the overall neighborhood.
In addition to changing the feel of our close-knit community,this development would be located directly across the
street from Pleasure House Point, a nature preserve.The density of the proposed development would dramatically
increase traffic along Marlin Bay Ave which parallels the park.The city has done a tremendous favor in preserving that
area that is already a main attraction for the area. My concern with increased residents would be higher chances for
trash, noise pollution, and other issues detrimental to the preserve.
Thank you for listening to my concerns. I hope you all will help maintain the local charm that is Ocean Park.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I'm writing to voice my opposition to the proposed Marlin Bay development on Shore Drive. As a
resident of Ocean Park, I'm not opposed to all development. I am however opposed to development
that is not consistent with the current planning guidance or character of the neighborhood in which I
live. By City Council's own Comprehensive Plan laid out in 2017, "Infill development on small vacant
parcels within an existing neighborhood or on parcels being redeveloped should be compatible with
the existing development around it. Designing a structure that is scaled and proportioned with
surrounding development is typically more difficult than utilizing a design that simply fits the site and
meets zoning regulations. The result, however, is a structure compatible with the neighborhood with
respect to land use and design, and will give the impression to those who pass by that it has always
been part of the original development." In addition "New residential development on larger parcels
should be consistent with the character of any residential uses in the surrounding area, as well as
consistent with the guiding planning principles for the Suburban Area." "Residential density in the
Suburban Area should be low to medium where the surrounding land use patterns and densities are
appropriate for such."
The proposed development is not aligned with these guiding principles. This project is NOT
consistent with the residential area around it. The complex is predominantly 4 stories which will tower
over the townhouses adjacent. The 4 1/2 story parking garage will now be plainly visible over the 3
story portion of the complex. Furthermore the project has 31.77 units per acre. This is more than
double the density of anything built nearby. Recent projects in Ocean Park have been 14 units per
acre. This is NOT the lowest reasonable density called for in the aforementioned Comprehensive
Plan. I also have serious concerns about the impact to the Pleasure House Point Nature Preserve,
the increase in density to local schools, and increased traffic to the local beaches. This project would
bring hundreds of people and cars which will negatively impact the fragile wetland environment of the
nearby preserve. Schools would need to be resized. The local beaches are already severely
impacted by high usage, erosion, and lack of funding for replenishment.
i
I, along with the vast majority of citizens of Ocean Park strongly oppose the Marlin Bay
Development. I implore you to vote with the residents of Ocean Park and vote NO on Marlin Bay.

Greetings, Mr. Dao.
Much time has passed since the original application and delays by the developer have postponed a final decision by the
governing entities. However, we remain steadfast against the proposed Marlin Bay apartment complex development.
As residents of the beautiful Ocean Park neighborhood, we oppose the pending request to increase density and rezone
the area at the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4 for the proposed Marlin Bay
Apartments.
We are not opposed to development for Virginia Beach and the Shore Drive area, but we want to make certain that it
improves the community and quality of life for everyone that is affected.That is not the case with this proposal.

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

Dear Mr. Dao and Members of the Planning Commission,
I am writing to you today on behalf of my husband and myself, both current residents of the Ocean Park neighborhood
in Virginia Beach,to express our opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartments development. As residents of this
neighborhood we find this potential development troubling for a number of reasons.
The largest reason is that it poses an outright safety risk. The infrastructure of this area is already clearly taxed by the
large population already utilizing it.The most striking example of this being the grisly accident that happened in August
of 2020, when a young father was struck by a car on Shore drive. This happened nearby to our house, and I can confirm
that I still frequently see people continuing to jaywalk across that street under dangerous conditions. I believe this is
because there is no crosswalk, nor even a continuous sidewalk, within an intuitive distance of the two busy restaurants
and the beach access on that block.
However,there are even further concerns regarding infrastructure. Not long after moving to our house in July of 2020,
one of the nearby transformers, on a pole within feet of our house, caught on fire after a storm.The fire was put out,
and the transformer repaired to the point of functioning. However,that transformer, like many in the area, is on a very
old and weathered looking post that seems like it could be knocked over or catch fire again if the wind were to blow the
wrong way. How could such a flimsy electrical system also safely support the power demands of hundreds of new
residents?
My husband and I also feel that this area could be better utilized by serving the business needs of current residents. For
example,there are very little fast casual restaurants, urgent/primary care offices, or sports equipment stores within a
fifteen minute drive of that site. Creating a commercial real estate development could provide further opportunities for
small businesses that could both fill a need of current residents and create a taxable income stream without increasing
the population so drastically.That income stream would also enable the city and local business owners to capitalize on
the increasing numbers of tourists flocking to the area.
A final reason that we oppose this development, is that it does not fit the character of the neighborhood. This
neighborhood currently feels very connected to nature,with two and three story houses tucked between native plants
and oak trees. Currently, it melts very naturally into Pleasure House Point Park, one of the gems of the city.To build a
four story monstrosity immediately adjacent to the park would destroy the interconnected appeal of the area.
Because of all of this, we strongly oppose this development. We hope you will listen to our voices along with the many,
many other voices of the neighborhood and will vote to oppose this development. We really love this neighborhood. We
feel it is very special and that as it continues to grow, its special charm increases the draw of the city as a whole.

Thank you so much for your time and attention to our concerns. I apologize if I have been the written form of long-
winded. Please feel free to reach out for any elaboration, and thank you so much for the work you do to keep our city
running and to make it better.

Mr. Dao,
My name is Chris Goehausen. I am a homeowner in the Ocean Park neighborhood of Virginia Beach and
I am writing to you to express my opposition to the proposed Marlin Bay apartment development.
When we chose to move our family to this neighborhood,we selected Ocean Park for its tranquil nature,
open space and it's low-density residential character of single family homes, duplexes and townhomes.
The Marlin Bay apartment development as proposed is both fundamentally inconsistent with the
Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan and Shore Drive Corridor Plan. More importantly, it would decimate
the character and tranquility of our neighborhood.
The development would more than double the residential units per acre of anything developed in the
area, driving an immense increase in natural resource use, as well as transient foot and vehicular traffic,
leading to over congestion and overflow into our neighborhood.
The development and construction process itself would negatively impact the peace and tranquillity we
value in our neighborhood, our ability to enjoy our property and negatively impact our property values
by flooding the neighborhood with a high inventory of zero investment residences.
I strongly urge you to officially oppose the Marlin Bay Apartment development.

The development would more than double the residential units per acre of anything developed in the area, driving an
immense increase in natural resource use, as well as transient foot and vehicular traffic, leading to over congestion and
overflow into our neighborhood.
The development and construction process itself would negatively impact the peace and tranquillity we value in our
neighborhood, our ability to enjoy our property and negatively impact our property values by flooding the neighborhood
with a high inventory of zero investment residences.
I strongly urge you to officially oppose the Marlin Bay Apartment development.
Sincerely,
Chris Goehausen

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am writing as a resident of Ocean Park to tell you that I am opposed to
rezoning in Ocean Park and opposed to the Marlin Bay apartment complex.
This rental complex does not belong in this well-established neighborhood of
single family homes and duplexes.
Further, this neighborhood is already densely packed and this complex is
wrong here.
Do not destroy the nature of our neighborhood by rezoning this property and
allowing an apartment complex.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am flummoxed to learn that you have recommended the approval of the rezoning request for the Marlin Bay project
despite the following incontrovertible issues:
-Only 3 letters of support and over 200 letters of opposition to the proposal (including my email to you on May 19,
2021)
- Unanimous opposition from the Ocean Park Civic League
-Twice,the Bayfront Advisory Commission has failed to support the proposal
- Density that is not in line with the character of the neighborhood
As a homeowner in Ocean Park since 1995, I have always been suspicious of the city government's close relationship
with developers that has resulted in negative quality of life changes to the residents of Virginia Beach. By ignoring the
issues of the opposition to this rezoning,you are only reinforcing my suspicions. You work for the citizens of Virginia
Beach, not the developers. Zoning laws are in place for a reason, and the spirit of those zoning restrictions should be
honored. I do not oppose all development of this parcel, only the extreme scale of this one.
I am happy to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
Jeff Kimball

Greetings, City of Virginia Beach Planning Commission.
I am a resident of the beautiful Ocean Park neighborhood (East Stratford Road).
This short message is simply to let you know that I oppose the pending request to increase density
and rezone the area at the intersection of Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to
conditional B4 for the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments. I am not opposed to development for
Virginia Beach and the Shore Drive area, but I want to make certain that it improves the
community and quality of life for everyone that is affected. That is not the case with this proposal.

Hello,
I wanted to write this evening to ensure my voice was heard in regards to the proposed complex at Marlin Bay. I'm a
new resident who lives on Mystic Cove Drive, having just moved here from an apartment complex in central Illinois that
is similar to the proposed buildings.
I strongly oppose this project, and hope to see either a significantly reduced strategy or alternative strategy entirely
used for this space. I believe the foot traffic, car traffic, noise pollution, aesthetics, and everything in between on a
project/complex like this will be horrible for our neighborhood, both during construction and forever after.
Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!

Good Afternoon Mr Dao, I am writing you concerning the Marlin Bay apartment proposed zoning
change. As a resident of Ocean Park I am strongly opposed to the changing of zoning of this
property. The city is already having a problem keeping up with the beach in this area and we are
bursting at the seams with residential development. As you may be aware we are the largest tax
based neighborhood in the city based on the volume and density of expensive homes. We don't have
our own schools like Kings Grant or our own fired dept like other big neighborhoods. We have very
limited on street parking for beach access for the current residents and other city residents who wish
to visit the bay beaches. We have no beach this year and are years behind in sand replenishment
and the city already has failed our neighborhood infrastructure in many ways. We don't need more
residential tall buildings. We need commercial property for restaurants and shops to cater to the
overwhelming demand from all of our residents. It is my opinion the zoning should remain commercial
and be sold as such. Adding more multi family homes to our area will only put a bigger burden on the
failed infrastructure of this area already. Please drive down this section of Shore Drive and see for
yourself how little commercial space is left with homes built right up to the road. Thanks for your time
and consideration. Chris Kane 757-439-7654 or ckane(c�checkeredflag.com

I have previously written to you strongly opposing this apartment development. Its crazy. This has always been such a
peaceful and quiet neighborhood,full of love and friends and family. Today I witnessed graffiti on the fences, opposing
this selfish and ridiculous proposal. I would, under any other circumstance be completely upset to see this graffiti in our
beloved neighborhood, yet i found myself cheering and saying YES! TELL THEM! SPEAK YOUR MIND!THIS IS WHERE WE
DECIDED TO BUY PROPERTY AND SETTLE DOWN! I do not love or promote graffiti, or the idea of it, but i must say, i was
so excited to see the big "WE DONT WANT APTS HERE" spray painted on the fence. Our community, my friends,
neighbors, and family that live in the beloved neighborhood, obviously oppose the MARLIN BAY APARTMENT
COMPLEX proposal.
How would you feel if we all voted to build an apartment complex next to your house and some higher power didnt care
what you thought????Think beyond..become real with the idea..would you be all in favor of me/us building an
apartment complex in your front, side or backyard??? This proposed idea goes against everything our neighborhood
believes in and the reasons we decided to buy property in Ocean Park. I speak on behalf of myself and all of my of
fellow Ocean Park homecowners..WE OPPOSE THE MARLIN BAY APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT!

Mr. Dao,
I am a HOMEOWNER in the OCEAN PARK section of Virginia Beach.
Ocean Park is currently a STABLE AND ATTRACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY along the Shore Drive Corridor.
The construction of a LARGE,HIGH POPULATION DENSITY APARTMENT COMPLEX at Shore and Marlin Bay Drives WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY in many
ways,and make the Shore Drive Corridor less attractive.
Such an apartment complex would NEGATIVELY IMPACT TRAFFIC,PARKING,STORMWATER MANAGEMENT,and accessibility to neighborhood destinations.
Such an apartment complex would NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PLEASURE HOUSE POINT NATURAL AREA,and the ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THE
BEACHES.
My understanding is that such an development is NOT in accordance with either the city's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor plan.
PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THE REZONING OF THIS AREA TO ALLOW A LARGE HIGH POPULATION DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
Thank you.

Mr. Dao,
I am a resident and active member in the Ocean Park Neighborhood. My husband and I have been attending the
various community meetings regarding the Marlin Bay Apartment Development. We purchased our home knowing the
type of character and community this area is renown for having over the past fifty years. We desired for our children to
be raised and exposed to a small, historic community with a strong sense of neighborhood identity.That is hard to find
in Virginia Beach and we feel truly blessed!
The Marlin Bay Development would destroy the character of Ocean Park. The high-density alone would double the
population of any recent Ocean Park development.The lot& zoning was NOT intended for this large of a development.
Shore drive traffic currently congested &adding hundreds of more people/cars is simply TOO much for this area.This
project is NOT in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan.
Our community has endured so much hardship over the past year with a National Pandemic. During this time,
Pleasure House Point Natural Area and our neighborhood has served as a sanctuary for citizens to find safe outlets for
both mental and physical health. Building this large, high-density apartment complex directly adjacent to 118 quiet acres
of water,tidal marsh, and maritime forest would completely disregard the Comprehensive Plan for the Ocean Park area.
We STRONLY oppose this potential rezoning&development for this location.

Hello Mr. Dao,
I'm writing to express my opposition to the proposed 197 units Marlin Bay apartment development. I live in this area which
is primarily town homes and single family homes. Not only will this proposed development add to the increasing
congestion and traffic, a building that large does not fit into the surrounding neighborhood and will continue to burden our
already stressed environment. I am not opposed to development on the this plot, it would be fitting to have similar sized
residences (town homes and/or single family homes) or one/two story businesses which are also in the vicinity. Please
take into consideration my opinion and those of my neighbors and preserve our community.
Respectfully,

Dear,
Mr. Dao
I strongly oppose the request to increase density and rezoning to accommodate the Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore
Drive and Marlin Bay Drive.
My concerns are as follows:
• Preservation of the character of the Ocean Park and surrounding areas. I have been a resident of Virginia Beach
for fifty-three years and for as long as I can remember,the Ocean Park and surrounding areas have been a low-
key community. This is changing everyday with the addition of condos and apartments to the Shore drive
corridor. If we add another apartment complex with a large density of residents to one of the last remaining
parcels of land in the area, we will further diminish the longtime character of this area and what it has made it
attractive to the current and future residents and visitors. Although development is inevitable it should be in
accordance with the city's comprehensive plan to keep Shore Drive a low-density area and blend with the
natural feel of the area.
• Impacts this will have on Pleasure House Point. The Marlin Bay Apartments design does not meet the Pleasure
House Point Comprehensive plan which specifically states "ensure that any development in the surrounding
area is complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity
provided by Pleasure House Point." Based on the current design and size of the Marlin Bay Apartment complex
it does not meet this comprehensive plan. A huge structure with so many people having direct access to
Pleasure house point can only add to the already at times over crowded preserve. This will have a negative
effect on the surrounding environment and wildlife that so much effort has been made into preserving. This is
such a scared preserve and one of the few spaces left in Virginia Beach untouched by heavy development. Do
we really want to risk tainting this asset to Virginia Beach?
• Safety on the roads. I remember a sign that was posted on Shore Drive by the city cautioning people that it was
a dangerous road by indicting how many people have died on it. The sign has been removed, but it continues to
happen. Shore Drive is already a very busy and sometimes dangerous road and adding this magnitude of
residents by way of a high-density apartment complex will only make it worse. With more traffic and an
increase of recreational activity such as walking, biking, etc.,the possibility of future accidents will only
increase.
1
Changing zoning and density to accommodate the Marlin Bay Apartments,should not be approved. I am not against
development, but it should be with the historical character of the this area and take into consideration the safety of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Shore Drive as well as the impact to the Pleasure House Point Preserve.
Thank you for your time,
Lynn Tavenner

Good Evening,
My wife and I own a home in Ocean Park just across Shore Drive from the proposed Marlin Bay
development. I am writing to oppose the request to increase density and rezone for the Marlin Bay
Apartments. Please note that I am not opposed to the development of the land in question, but the
proposed project would have detrimental effects on the Ocean Park community and the quality of life.
As it stands already, parking is at a premium in Ocean Park. In my portion of the neighborhood in
particular, population density is already too high as evidenced by the time we spend each week
circling the neighborhood in order to find parking along the roads. This is only exacerbated on the
weekends with beach traffic leading to increased frustration for those of us trying to get
home. Although the proposed project intends to mitigate this with a parking garage, I have no doubt it
will add vehicles to both sides of Shore Drive. Furthermore, call it what you will, but a parking garage
simply does not fit in Ocean Park; it is an eyesore and does not fit in line with our way of life
here. This is a quaint and tight knit community with a fantastic charm to match; nothing about this
project supports that. Ocean Park cannot handle traffic increases that would aggregate. One
slowdown or delay on Shore Drive turns a 10 minute commute into an hour plus ordeal as there
simply is no alternative route to traverse.
The sheer number of apartments is concerning. With the delays of the dredging project for Ocean
Park beaches, us current residents already find beach space at a premium. Though deceiving at low
tide, the gradient of the current shoreline is so shallow the beach will fit only a small group against the
dunes with barely enough room to traverse past at high tide. Adding 200+ families to this in addition
to those who come from other local communities will crowd the beaches further, creating more issues
and more frustration. This is a major contributor to what separates our community from that of across
the Lesner.
Pleasure House Point will no doubt be impacted. Despite mitigation to be proposed to protect the
area, I see no way an increase in population in that area does not create issues for a piece of land
that the city has worked so hard to make special.
I fear not only for the frustrations the proposed project will bring, but the impact to a neighborhood I
have come to love and made my biggest investment in. This project as proposed would not only
affect property values in a negative way, but would also take away from the charm that is so
important to us Ocean Park residents. I have talked with my friends and neighbors from throughout
Ocean Park and can honestly say I have not come across one resident who supports the
project. Small shops and businesses that align with the community goals and appeal are more than
welcome. Please consider these factors, understanding that this is not just a plea to "leave our
neighborhood alone;" my wife and I are both under 30 and have specifically invested ourselves into
this neighborhood with plans to start our family here. We just wish to advocate for the meaningful
growth of it.
Very Respectfully,
Ron Marciszyn

Mr. Dao,
I am a homeowner in Aeries on the Bay, a neighborhood off Shore Drive across the street from the
proposed Marlin Bay Development. I am against this high density apartment complex. It will impact
traffic which is already terrible, especially in the summer. I am concerned about its proximity to
Pleasure House Point Natural Area. It does not reflect the open space that we now have at Pleasure
House Point. Parking issues, worsening storm water runoff and loss of natural resources are all likely
it it is approved. I am asking that you not approve the zoning change that has been requested. The
project is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan for Virginia Beach or the Shore Dr. Corridor
Plan. Automobile traffic and people walking, riding bikes and jogging have increased significantly in
the last 15 years. We need to prevent the development of an apartment complex that has a higher
planned density than other projects in the area. I am firmly against this project and ask that you take
the advice of the Bayfront Advisory Commission which did not approve the project either.
Thank you for your attention regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Anne Shewan M.D.

Dear Mr. Dao:
We are writing to express our opposition to the proposed 197 unit apartment complex with massive 4 1/2 story parking
garage. This high density project would destroy the character of our neighborhood. This large project would certainly
have a negative impact on the quality of life in Ocean Park. This is more than double the density of any other recent
Ocean Park development and would create a terrible and detrimental precedent in favor of future such development.
This project is not in compliance with with city's Comprehensive Plan nor the Shore Drive Corridor Plan. Additionally, the
Bayfront Advisory Commission appointed by City Council did not approve this development. For the above-mentioned
reasons, we vehemently oppose this development and urge you to do the same.

Hi Mr. Dao, I am greatly opposed to this project. A large, multi-story complex would negatively impact the density and
quality of life in Ocean Park. This project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Dr.
Corridor Plan. As a 30 year resident of this community I have seen the traffic increase immensely and I believe this will
add to the already "bottle neck traffic" at Marlin Bay and Shore Dr.
Please take this into consideration and oppose this development.

As a resident of Ocean Park who is extremely troubled about possible changes affecting the future of our neighborhood,
I am writing to express my concerns. During the past few years, it seems that the City of Virginia Beach has become
more concerned with tax revenue than the of welfare of its citizens—case in point is the 197-unit apartment complex
and 4%2 story parking garage proposed for the corner property at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay Drive.
This development would potentially destroy the character of Ocean Park and overcrowd our neighborhood, streets, and
beaches, as well as disrupting the quiet nature of Pleasure House Point Natural Area.
Hopefully you and your colleagues will carefully consider the detrimental effects this development would have on our
small, much loved community and oppose the rezoning and development realizing that it does not belong in this area.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I have been a resident of ocean park since 1994. I have seen our neighborhood go from mostly
rentals to now family owned properties. We are a middle class neighborhood with a million dollar
environment. With this I mean we now have Pleasure House Point Park. I along with many other
people fought hard to save that property. I was the one who met with all the civic leagues, Open
Space Committee, Parks and Recreation, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Lynnhaven Now etc to pitch
that land as a park. It has been such a blessing to the area. Every day people walk the park and
enjoy the beautiful birds sitting in the trees and those standing in shallow water searching for bait fish
and crabs. We have rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, foxes etc that inhabit that park. Building a four story
apartment building in a neighborhood that doesn't have apartment buildings would destroy the charm
of Ocean park. We are very much a family oriented area. Four story apartment building with 197 units
would not only create an eyesore to our area ( I don't care how architecturally appealing it is) it would
not fit into our neighborhood. The townhomes on Ocean Tides will have people looking down into
their backyards. These are young families who bought in this area because of the quiet and friendly
environment. With 197 units comes double the cars. That's another 394 or more cars added to an
already overly crowed overly used road. Without the new stop light installed there are days you can't
even get on shore drive might less cross it by foot without going to the light. If the developer wants to
build on that property then let the homes either be townhouses or single family homes like the ones
that have popped up along shore drive. Home owners are more apt to be mindful of their neighbors
and it would be less cars in an already over saturated roadway. With four stories, 197 units and a
pool the noise level will without a doubt would impact our whole neighborhood. Have you ask the
Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Lynnhaven River Now or Parks and Recreation if this will effect the
park or the wildlife? Have you done a study of the impact of this on Shore Drive? What about the
added stress on our first responders? This project is not in compliance with the city's comprehensive
plan or the Shore Drive corridor plan. With the new larger Windsong apartments being built that will
add even more cars and heavier traffic on Shore Drive. I implore you to reconsider the apartment
zoning and deny their request.
This is a very large project that we do not want in our backyard just as I am sure you wouldn't want in
yours.

Mr. Dao,
I thank you for your time. I have been an Ocean Park resident for 22+years. The traffic has increased beyond its
capacity, especially during the summer months.The zoning granted to this project is over 2 times what has been allowed
in previous years, and for very legitimate reasons,.The Bayfront Advisory Commission did not approve the project. and
as a longtime home owner, neither do I.
I appreciate you listening to my concerns for our low density neighborhood goals.

Good Day Mr. Dao,
I am a resident of Ocean Park and business owner along Shore Drive. I strongly oppose the rezoning of the lots for the
Marlin Bay site.The rezoning to B-4 mixed use is only possible by including the existing retail boat sales business but that
retail is not included into the project. Furthermore the project builds on less acreage than would be used to obtain the
requested density. Other projects on a B-4 zoning have put 14.29 units per acre not 31.77. This project is not in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor Plan which has a goal of low density.
This community is made up of townhomes and single family homes. A high density apartment complex would set a
precedent for any future projects and destroy the character of Ocean Park.
Please make note of my opposition when presenting the packet to the City Council. I am in support of a development
which is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Shore Dr. Corridor Plan.

Planning Commissioner
I am a twenty two year resident of the Ocean Park neighbor in VA Beach. I should not have to, but am writing to the
Planning Commissioners to insist that you please follow the current rules concerning the Marlin Bay Apartment
Development. I have personally asked the city for three variances over my 22 years and been rejected all three times.
The city has proven to me that the rules very much apply to me. I'm not sure, however I suspect,the reasons the rules
do not apply to large building projects. (Prove me wrong). I am not asking for special consideration! Simply make this
project follow the rules as they are.
This high density, large, multi-story complex will, of course, negatively impact our neighborhood. In my twenty two years
here, I have seen the traffic more than double. Changing the current PDH-1 and B-2 to B-4 is inappropriate. Why in the
world would we allow higher density?
All that I ask is to make this decision as if you lived here and would have to deal with the impact of not following rules.
Thank you

Dear Mr. Dao:
My wife and I moved to Aeries On The Bay off Shore Drive near where the proposed MARLIN BAY APARTMENT
DEVELOPMENT might be built. We moved here because of the serene, beachy atmosphere we found here 3 years ago
and have enjoyed immensely the Chick's Beach area with our neighbors,friends and family.
We were shocked to hear of the proposed development that in our judgment, would greatly intrude and destroy the
ambiance that defines living near the Lesner Bridge. PLEASE STOP this development that would over-burden our area
and make it a congested mess!! As it is, Shore Drive has enough challenges servicing all who live here now and with
modest growth, it is destined to only get worse. DO NOT BRING THE DC CONGESTION to our fair community. Please
abide by and be in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan//the Shore Drive Corridor Plan!
Our Bayfront Advisory Committee did NOT approve this project and neither do we!!
Thank you for your gracious acknowledgment of this request,
Thomas M. & Gail V. Wells

To Whom it May Concern,
I oppose this Marlin Bay Apartment Development (197-unit apartment complex) because this will cause hundreds of
more people and cars to flock to Ocean Park and our area is not set up for the volume of people this will bring. Our
beach is small and well preserved as well as the Pleasure House Point Natural Area. We can't even get the beach
replenishment as is. We have a small community feel and sense of belonging in Ocean Park and we want to preserve it.
This area is not in a strategic growth area where this development actually belongs.This apartment complex belongs
somewhere else. Please do not allow this to happen and make our small community disappear. Shore Drive is far from
being the right place for this.
THIS IS AN AWFUL IDEA.

Good Afternoon Mr. Dao,
I am writing in opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartment Development. As a resident of Ocean Park and Marlin Bay Ct. I
am most concerned about the negative environmental impact a project of this size could entail. I appreciate the beauty
and utility of the Pleasure House Point Natural Area, 118 exquisite acres of water,tidal marsh,sandy shores and
maritime forest. My husband and I, in addition to fellow Ocean Park residents,Virginia Beach residents and tourists
flock to this paradise daily to observe nature and ensure that litter and debris is removed from the premises. The health
of this Natural Area and habitat of its wildlife would be stressed with the proposed construction of a 197-unit apartment
complex. In addition,the construction does not represent development that is complementary with regard to both
design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point. The Pleasure
House Point Natural Area is a gem of both Ocean Park and Virginia Beach and one that will be undoubtedly put at risk
with the construction of the proposed Apartment Complex.
Strongly encouraging you to vote NO to the Marlin Bay Apartment Development,
Katie Tomlinson

Dear Mr. Dao:
I am writing to voice my concerns about the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments development and would
ask you to recommend that this development or any form of development that would require an
alteration of the current zoning of the properties not proceed.
I share the view expressed by fellow Ocean Park residents,the Ocean Park Civic League,and the Bay
Front Advisory Council that the proposed development is inconsistent with the City of Virginia Beach's
Comprehensive Plan for the Shore Drive Corridor. Specifically,the proposed apartment complex is not a
compatible infill development,as it will not preserve and protect the character of the established Ocean
Park neighborhood on account of its height,massing,and scale.
The Marlin Bay properties should not be rezoned for this development and the planning commission
should not recommend that the project proceed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sir,
As a longtime resident of Virginia Beach who grew up here, I'm dismayed about yet another proposal for high
density housing on Shore Drive. Shore Drive and Great Neck Road have become two lanes of traffic jams or
speedways, depending on the time of day. Neither can accommodate yet another housing complex. This 187
unit apartment complex and parking garage are not within the vision of Shore Drive nor is it wanted by
residents of Ocean Park and surrounding areas. Planning policies specifically direct lowest possible density as
well as preserving the integrity of the surrounding established neighborhoods. Virginia Beach is sadly losing its
appeal as construction marches on and the natural areas with trees and views of sandy beaches rapidly
decline. When is it ever enough?

Dear City Planner,
Mr. Dao:
Imagine if in your established historic neighborhood, a money hungry developer wanted to build an extreme high density
apartment complex against all city planning rules and neighborhood desires. What would you do?
Ocean Park is already congested. Shore Drive can not take any more cars. The proposed Marlin Bay Apartment
development is so dense just this one project will increase our neighborhood traffic by 13%.
Where is the common sense here and the accountability. We need no more congestion in our neighborhood and no High
Density Apartments.
I oppose the high Density Marlin Bay Apartments. I trust that you will use common sense and your long term planning
experience with Virginia Beach to stop the craziness in this already over build community.
Please do not support and do not recommend the project.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Mr. Dao:
I lived on and off in Ocean Park for the last 59 years. What I love of our neighborhood is that it is a
working class neighborhood mixed with young families and the old residents of Ocean Park.
Our streets have become very congested, Shore Drive became a death bed and our neighborhood
became abused by the weekenders.
The proposed Marlin Bay Apartments will further destroy and congest our neighborhood. Our
neighborhood can not handle any more residents. The proposed Marlin Bay Apartment project is 2 to
3 times as dense than any other approved project. Our neighborhood population will increase
significantly and can not be handled by our neighborhood streets. We do need some shopping area
for our neighborhood but we need no more residents and no more congestion.
Please stop this craziness and the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment Development. Do not support it.
As a planner for Virginia Beach you have the responsibility to maintain and improve the quality of life
of our neighborhood while you develop plans for the City. Please pay attention to our neighborhood.
We are local tax paying residents and need the same attention as the city gives to the rich
neighborhoods of Virginia Beach.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

Dear Mr. Dao:

The proposed Marlin Bay (Mega)Apartments will further destroy our neighborhood. The proposed density is extremely
high at least twice of any approved project. This just one project will increase our population by 12% to 14%. Our streets,
shore drive and our neighborhood beach cannot handle any more residents not even 5%. If we need something is more
shopping for our neighborhood. We need no more traffic and no more congestion. I do not support this project and you
should not recommend it in support of our historic neighborhood.
A a planner of Virginia Beach you have the responsibility to maintain the quality of life of our neighborhoods. Please do
something to stop the Mega Marlin Bay Apartments. I recognize that our neighborhood will not return to 1962 but it does
not need to become more congested and it will be nice to remain a family neighborhood.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I have lived in Virginia Beach for all of my 52 years, and have owned my current home in Ocean Park for over
18 years. I am very much opposed to the construction of the Marlin Bay Apartments.
The size and density of this project are extremely concerning. This proposed development seems to contradict
numerous goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for this area of the city. One of the most glaring being to "Achieve
the lowest reasonable density for future residential uses" (CP,Suburban Areas 1-70). If approved at 31.77 units per acre,
this project would create an unsettling precedent for growth in our neighborhood.
In recent years,three townhouse projects within a block or two of the proposed Marlin Bay construction have
been built. Additionally, a stoplight was recently added in this same vicinity at E Stratford and Shore Drive,
and this has added to the congestion and slowed down traffic considerably at certain times of the day. I don't
want to imagine the negative impact an additional 372 vehicles would have on the traffic in this immediate
area.
A large, high density apartment complex would be devasting to Ocean Park residents and would change the
character our beloved neighborhood. Please do not vote for this project.
Thank you for your time,
Kathleen Heilig

Please vote no on the Marlin Bay Apartment developed as currently proposed. I understand that it's a challenge to
balance economic development and neighborhood preservation, but the proposed apartment complex is too large and
dense, and will destroy the character of Ocean Park and my neighbor, Pelican dunes.
• The proposed 197 units averages 31.77 units per acre, which is more than double the density recent Ocean Park
projects.
• The site is currently zoned PDH-1 and B-2. The proposed conditional use change to B-4, Mixed Zoning is
inappropriate, as it is intended for combined retail and housing.
• Other recent projects have re-zoned to B-4 at a much lower density. (14.29 units per acre and were B2 (retail)to
B4.
• The Bayfront Advisory Commission did not approve the project.
Most importantly the project is not in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Drive Corridor
Plan. The City's comprehensive Plan specify addresses development adjacent to the Pleasure House Point Natural Area
requiring projects to be complementary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space
amenity provided by Pleasure House Point. This high density development will adversely impact Pleasure House Point
and violates the City's Comprehensive Plan.This project negatively impact the quality of life of my family, please vote no
on the proposed conditional use permit change.

Rezoning for Marlin Bay should not be approved. The project is not in keeping with the comprehensive plan, is to dense
for our residential area and sets a bad precedent for future developers. We don't want a 4 1/2 story parking garage up

Dear Mr. Dao &City Planning Commissioners,
I am a resident of Ocean Park, a member of the Ocean Park Civic League, and a longtime resident of the Shore Drive
Corridor.
I am writing to tell you that I am strongly opposed to the Marlin Bay Development complex proposed for Ocean Park. An
apartment complex does not belong in this neighborhood - it would overwhelm our small, historic neighborhood with its
height, expansive sprawl and high volume of people.
Building a complex like Marlin Bay would overshadow and obscure everything that makes Ocean Park such a special
neighborhood,where people forge close friendships and value the small-community feel with their neighbors.
Apartments, by design and density, run completely counter to the Ocean Park community, and would have a terrible and
negative impact on the community in a number of ways.
For those reasons alone, I believe the Marlin Bay Apartment complex proposal zoning change request(s)should be
denied.
Furthermore, Ocean Park is not a Strategic Growth Area (SGA) and should not be subjected to massive developments
that belong in areas previously designated as SGAs. Large developments make sense for SGAs and NOT in small,well-
established neighborhoods like Ocean Park.
I implore you to DENY the Marlin Bay Apartment complex proposal zoning request.This is my sentiment, and also the
sentiment of so many of my fellow neighbors in this community, and our surrounding sister communities (Aeries on the
Bay, Baylake Pines & Lynnhaven Shores).
By and large, we are collectively in opposition to this zoning change request- and in opposition to the proposal to build
the Marlin Bay Apartment complex in our neighborhood. We have spoken out against this as a community time and
again - most recently at the Bayfront Advisory Commission, in which the BAC board members denied the developers
support for their proposal to build in Ocean Park.
We are confident you understand and agree with our significant concerns about this proposed zoning change request
(and the proposed complex), and ask you to honor the City's Comprehensive Plan by voting against this zoning request
by the Marlin Bay developers on June 9th.

Thank you!

Sir,
I am writing because I live in the neighborhood where the proposed Marlin Bay Apartments would be. I walk those trails
every single day and live less than 0.2 miles from the shore drive/marlin bay are. Putting a large apartment complex
there would be devastating for this area. It is far too small of an area &that beautiful Nature Preserve will be overrun
with hundreds of more people with an entire new complex in.That preserve is meant to preserve nature and with
hundreds more people being added,that entire eco-system will change.This area is far too small to accommodate a
large apartment building. That complex will also cause residents of the neighborhood property value to go down.This
area is not made for large apartment complexes, rather that building should be made in oceanfront.There is not enough
space in this neighborhood for an apartment complex.
Thanks for listening,
Mikaela Sakach

development. It will destroy the character of Ocean Park and is not in compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan or the Shore Dr., Corridor Plan among many other things. Please do not
approve this project!

All considering,
I verboten such consideration the rezoning efforts for the Marlin Bay Apartment development. I find the idea totally
abhorrent and ignoble.This will make the Ocean Parks a hellscape and negatively impact nature life preserve and the
community as the increase of a population will unequivocally bring crime and various forms of pollution (i.e. noise and
light), and just an overall negative effect . I call for a moratorium of this activity.

Good day and I hope you are well. The proposed change for apartments is Preposterous. It was
zoned that way orignally so why are we changing it now to facilitate overcrowding, pollution, traffic,
and lack of emergency response. I know you will make the right decision in all of this. There is no way
possible this is right for the city or my neighbors.

I am writing to ask for your support in opposing the proposed rezoning and development at Shore Drive and
Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4 zone for the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment project due to the
negative impacts on Ocean Park. This type of large apartment complex with unreasonable density and
adjoining multi-story parking deck do not fit the neighborhood of single family, duplexes, and townhomes
within Ocean Park. A development of this size will degrade our neighborhood and community character and
increase traffic congestion on an already dangerous Shore Drive. Further, this development even in its
proposed redesign is not congruent with the natural beauty of Please House Point.

I absolutely disagree with any more building of any kind on Shore Drive and for that matter, Virginia Beach. We are
already inundated with more traffic and people than we can handle. Will we have one bit of green left when all is said
and done and the builders pockets are bulging along with the City by reaping more taxes and fees? The condos that
were built on Shore Drive alongside the Lesner Bridge are too close to the road and the number of people living there
has greatly increased the traffic and the accidents; look at the monstrosities built on N. Great Neck Road at the Marina
where a citizen used to be able to relax and have a good meal in a restaurant or a dance club. This is a prime example of
poor planning. How many condos did they build there with one road in and one road out? No more! And they are
trying to add to the apartments on Pleasure House Road at Windsong Apartments! And even in the parking lot at
Pembroke Mall! It is appalling and is ruining our beautiful city. My son is leaving this week and is moving out of state as
Virginia Beach is no longer recognizable as a residential home for individuals.
Let's just start calling it N.Y.! Please someone stop the insanity.

Mr. Dao:
I am writing to ask for your support in opposing the proposed rezoning and
development at Shore Drive and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to a conditional
B4 zone. While I am not opposed to all future development on this site, I do
have significant concerns regarding the type of rezoning being proposed for
the Marlin Bay Apartment Complex.
Mr. Dao, over the past few years, my fiance and I have fallen in love with this
truly wonderful and unique community, the neighborhood culture, the
preservation and care for nature, and our beach. We see a safe and
rewarding future for our growing family here. I have spoken with members
of the Ocean Park community so sure I am not the first to tell you that we
unanimously agree that the last thing this neighborhood needs is this sort of
development.
Our beaches are rapidly eroding away while developments like these
continue to bring more people to our shore. Traffic has already gotten
worse over time and people continue to die while driving on and crossing
Shore Dr. Parking in our neighborhood is tight as it is and even with a 400
car parking garage, this development is sure to add to the congestion on our
streets, strangers, who have less invested in our community, in front of our
homes, and in our trails. Ocean Park is one of very few and true gems in
Virginia Beach that is loved by the locals yet at risk of being overtaken by
greedy pockets who have no interest in what is best for us. Among many
logistical and ecological reasons, this development will shadow an entire
lifestyle, our lifestyle.
This lot could certainly be used for many other types of development that
would better the existing community as opposed to tearing away from it.
Restaurants, a local garden, community pool, or retail options would most
certainly be more appreciated than 300+ more people in a 4 story building
serving as the cornerstone to our beautiful community.
Please Mr. Dao, stand up for us and help preserve this special family in
Virginia Beach.
Genuinely and Respectfully,
Thomas Ewer

Dear Sir,
I live on Page Ave,just off Shore Drive, on the eastern side of the Lesner bridge.
I am opposed to the proposed apartment development at Marlin Bay and Shore Drive for numerous reasons.
These high density developments do nothing to improve our quality of life. Despite increased development in the
city, that increases the tax rolls, our property assessments and taxes go up every year. The only one who benefits is the
developer.
197 more living units along the Shore Drive corridor will only add to the dangerous speeding traffic and congestion that
already exists.
Increased pedestrian traffic across Shore Drive to access the beach will also increase the hazard to both the pedestrians
and drivers.
People, in general, have become bold and disrespectful of our neighborhoods around the bay beaces. They defy no
trespassing signs to access the beach across our property, leaving litter and dog waste in their trail.Adding more rental
units will only magnify these issues for neighboring property owners.
Large, high density housing is not in line with the character of the existing neighborhood.
The impact of so many more people& pets potentially using the Pleasure House Point natural area could be detrimental
to that resource.
Please do not allow this project to move off the drawing board.
Respectfully,

• This type of apartment complex does not fit into the historic neighborhood of single
family, duplexes, and townhouse homes that is Ocean Park.
• Large apartment complexes are clustered together near other dense-land spaces, and
not in small long-established neighborhoods, making such a proposed plan incongruent
with the limited footprint that exists within Ocean Park.
• Once the property is rezoned, the developers could further develop the property. The
parcels are not under one ownership. If the Boat Sale parcel segregates itself, it could be
redeveloped as a separate parcel.
• My opposition is also based on these probable negative effects: the loss of
neighborhood and community character, a decrease in the market value of my home
and increased traffic congestion, adding to an already dangerous Shore Drive corridor.

Dearest Planning Commission Members and City Council -As a concerned home owner across
Shore Drive from the proposed Marlin Bay Development, I strongly oppose this large high density
development. It is reasonable to keep the property under the existing zoning and city guidelines:
townhouses, duplexes, and single family homes. My request is for you not to rezone this property for
a large high density multi-family development that would fundamentally change the nature and
character of our neighborhood. I ask of you to preserve our Ocean Park neighborhood and stand
behind the residents decision to oppose the rezoning of the property.
Thank you for your attention.

Good afternoon,
It is with great urgency that I write to you in opposition on the requested change in zoning for the
proposed Marlin Bay Development. The population density the development will create is
extraordinarily out of place in the Ocean Park community. The infrastructure at the intersection of
Shore Drive and Marlin Bay is in no way sufficient to handle this increased traffic load, not to mention
the small neighborhood community streets that surround this massive development as proposed.
Such density and inevitable subsequent pollution caused by a development of this size will certainly
create a dramatically negative impact on the Maritime Forests and wetlands and wildlife of Pleasure
House Point Natural Area located directly across the street from the area in question.
Developing the land in a manner consistent with and with respect to it's surroundings is all I, as a 20+
year Ocean Park community member, am asking. Respect the precious area of Virginia Beach that
we are trying to protect. Do not approve this rezoning or B4 Condition Use request.
Very truly yours,

Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am a resident of Ocean Park and I would like to express my strong opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartment complex
that is proposed for Shore Dr. in Ocean Park. I am opposed to the change in zoning that would allow a project of this size
to be built in our small, unique neighborhood.This property is not zoned for almost 200 units on only 4.2 acres.The
impact on our neighborhood would be a negative one. I chose to live in Ocean Park because of its unique qualities, its
small town atmosphere and its unrushed neighborhood quality of life.This project will change this community in a
profoundly negative way and I feel this is unfair to me as a resident(and property owner of more than 20 years).
i
This project has 31.77 units per acre. This is more than double anything built anywhere nearby. Recent projects in Ocean
Park have been 14 units per acre.This is NOT lowest reasonable density called for in the Comprehensive Plan that is
supposed to guide city decision making.This project is not consistent with the residential area around it.The
Comprehensive Plan calls for new residential development be "consistent with the character of any residential uses in
the surrounding area". The predominantly 4 story building will tower over the adjacent townhouses. The 4 1/2 story
parking garage will be plainly visible over the 3 story portion of the building on Shore Dr.This project is out of step with
the Ocean Park community which is comprised of duplexes,townhomes and single family homes. This apartment
complex is not like anything around it and will change what I moved to Ocean Park to find.
The Bayfront Advisory Commission was established by City Council in 1998.The mission given by City Council to the
Bayfront Advisory Commission is:to review and make recommendations to the City Council regarding public and private
projects and issues associated with the Bayfront area, and projects or issues associated with the Bayfront area that the
City Council may refer to the Commission. Twice the Bayfront Advisory Commission voted not to approve the design for
this project,finding it incompatible with the Design Guidelines for Shore Dr. due to the scale of the project,the massing
and close proximity to townhouses.
Please do not support this zoning change for the Marlin Bay Project.Thank you for your attention and your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Carpenter

To Whom it May Concern,
As residents of Ocean Park, and owners of a home on Woodlawn Avenue,we are writing to express our strong
opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartment complex that is proposed for Shore Drive in Ocean Park. We are opposed to the
change in zoning that would allow a project of this size to be built in our small, unique neighborhood. This property is
not zoned for almost 200 units on only 4.2 acres. We chose to live in Ocean Park because of its unique qualities, its small
town atmosphere and its unrushed neighborhood quality of life. This project will change this community in a profoundly
negative way and we feel this is unfair to us as residents and property owners.
Not only will the development of this project diminish the quality of life for residents of Ocean Park visually, but the
influx of such a large number of people will negatively impact traffic, overpopulate the already diminishing beaches, and
cause damage to the neighboring Pleasure House Park.This project is out of step with the Ocean Park community which
comprises duplexes,townhomes and single family homes.This apartment complex is not like anything around it and will
change what we moved to Ocean Park to find.
We would like to see the lot developed in some manner, preferably in a mixed-use, locally owned fashion that would be
beneficial to both the community and the surrounding nature preserve. The current state of the land is unattractive and
is not a sight we would like to represent our area as the gateway to Virginia Beach, but we do not see the Marlin Bay
Project as the way to correct that.
The developer has not made any effort to discuss options with the Ocean Park Civic League, and a representative of the
developer has made multiple, threatening social media posts that essentially hold hostage the surrounding PHP
undeveloped parcels in exchange for our support of the project. It is unprofessional and inappropriate, and not
representative of who we want taking over our neighborhood.
While my husband and I both work during Planning Commission meetings, we hope you will accept our input via email.
Please do not support this zoning change for the Marlin Bay Project.Thank you for your attention and your
consideration, and I apologize for the length of the letter!
Sincerely,
Melanie and Patrick Gazzolo

To Whom It May Concern,
I have been an Ocean Park homeowner since 2003. I oppose the request to increase density and
rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4.The
community density is already too high, new construction leads to flooding of existing structures, Shore
Drive is a continual danger for traffic and pedestrians, and our quality of life is constantly challenged by
visitors and renters that have no real connection to the neighborhood.
In addition, I am exhausted by protesting further development in the Ocean Park neighborhood every
year. Shore drive congestion gets worse and worse even without development of large land parcels like
pleasure house point. Deaths on Shore Dr. increase every year be it motor vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian,
or simple ignorance. The few cute bungalows that remain all slowly turn into duplex condos like the one
I live in. We compound the flooding issues by building enormous structures up 9 feet,flooding the
smaller structures of our neighbors and complicating runoff. I plead the civic league to say No Way
Marlin Bay. We beat the boat ramp dredging facility and we can beat this too. In the meantime, I'll
consider the traffic light at the ocean park rescue sight a small victory. Thank you for representing our
best interests and realizing the logistics, physical constraints, and remaining beauty of our wonderful
neighborhood.

Dear madam/sir,
My name is Alexander Lleces Jr, I live in Ocean Park at 3736 E Stratford Road. I have
lived in Chicks Beach for a little over 10 years and in specifically Ocean Park for
4-5 of those years. I lived in the craziness of the main Chicks Beach for the other years and moved away
from that. Seeing Chicks Beach, where you have apartments and condos
everywhere on Pleasure Hose Road. I can first hand tell you navigating on the beach over there is like
walking over people so you have no choice, but to go into the water to TRY to find
a place to lay on the beach. It's just overcrowded. I moved to Ocean Park to raise my family and live a
normal beach life. Where friends are an extended family. If this project is to come
true, I already told the wife we are moving away. I like the neighborhood feel not a city within this small
quaint neighborhood. Where almost everyone knows each other and looks out
for each other. Please do not take this from my friends and family. This beach is crowded already. You
build 197 units,that's 2-3 people per unit. You have an additional
394-591people. The beach is small as is and having that number on it is like having Floatopia every
weekend. You already saw how that went not just on a local scale, but national news.
I for one do not wish to make the news in a negative way again. Cancel this project and make the news
in a positive way. Thank you for your time. God Bless.
Respectively,
Alexander Lleces Jr

Hello,
I am a resident of Aeries on the Bay in ocean park and I am writing to ask you to oppose the
reasoning and development of the Marlin Bay community.
The original zoning was created as a way to preserve our neighborhood and changing it would
negative affect all of our residents but also the local nature.
We take pride in keeping our bay beaches clean and well taken care of and that big of a building
would be bringing so many people to our small natural bay beaches that it would make it particularly
hard to keep it clean and uncrowned.
One of the most wonderful thing about living here is the community. We are all close and mostly
young families or active retires. We walk and bike everywhere and walk with our kids and dogs.
Bringing such a big building to our neighborhood would completely change that small community feel
and the Amin t of additional cars alone would surely make it less safe for us and our children.
Lastly my main worry lies with the preservation of Pleasure House Natural Area. I walk there weekly
and is residents keep is clean and well taken care of. Just last week I saw two bald eagles there. It is
a sensitive natural area and a refuge to so many wild animals. It is also literally across the street from
the Marlin Bay project. With 197 units which will have no yard, there is absolutely no doubt that the
residents of that building will be using the nature preserve as their own personal back yard. How
could this not negatively impact the wild life there? 197 units that can cross the street to party in such
a big natural area. It will also negatively impact the neighborhood due to people not being able to
enjoy the nature preserve and the attached play ground once it is overcrowded and likely trashed.
Please, for the sake of our community, our city and the nature that surround us, do not allow for the
reasoning of that lot and do not permit the consero of the Marlin Bay Development
Sincerely,
Julie Vance, Aeries on the Bay resident.

Dear planning committee,
I want to express my strong opposition to the planned "Marlin Bay" development in its current form of 197 units and a
four and a half story parking garage.
The area along shore drive is a place with a remarkable community and sense of history. With only a small amount of
land on either side of the highway, a dense development threatens that sense of community by overcrowding the roads,
parks and beach spaces. Additionally, dense condos will attract less family-age residents which could also change the
character of character of area.
Currently our neighborhood exhibits the result of the original zoning mandates. Single family homes,townhouses and
moderately sized condos have kept a neighborhood that is safe, communal and vibrant. Such a dense new building
would certainly change that.
I hope you'll vote to maintain the remarkable character along Shore drive by voting no on Marlin Bay.

RE: Marlin Bay Apartment Development& Initial June 9, 2021 Staff Planning Report
Dear Mr. Dao:
Thank you again for taking the time to meet with us last Thursday to review the initial June
meeting Staff Planning Report on the Marlin Bay Development. Your professionalism and
personal investment in your role are a considerable asset to the Planning Department and the
City of Virginia Beach. As indicated during our meeting, I would request the following additions
or alterations to any subsequent reports in order to provide a more complete analysis of the
application.
1. The Evaluation and Recommendation section of the report leads with a truncated
discussion for the proposed project density of 31.77. "While the proposed density at
31.77 units per acre is higher compared to developments in the immediate surrounding
area". As we will explain below, the effective development density exceeds 40 units
per acre. While the report is more complete when addressing zoning history (though
there is an omission there addressed later),the report fails to offer a complete picture of
the density of the properties surrounding the project and does not contain figures that
would allow a determination of whether this project does in fact meet the Comprehensive
Plan requirement of infill having"compatible density" and "preserving and protecting
the character of established neighborhoods and achieving the lowest reasonable
density for future residential uses.". While the report cites the Comprehensive Plan in
several places, the report does not include the Comprehensive Plan language about
density. What is significantly lacking is any analysis of the existing density of the
neighborhood in order to determine the lowest reasonable density for future
residential uses.
A. What is the average density currently in the Ocean Park neighborhood? How
exactly would the addition of nearly 200 units in a 1,400-unit neighborhood
change density?
B. What is the density of the adjacent and nearby properties? What is the
average density for these properties?
C. As noted, there are existing B-4 & A-18 zoned properties within the Ocean
Park neighborhood. What is their proximity of these sites,when were they
built,what is their density?
2. The B-2 Boat Sales lot will exist separately without redevelopment as a recommended
proffer. "In no case shall the area labeled `Existing Boat Sales' and the associated
parking lot be developed with any dwelling units."Page 6, Recommended Conditions for
Conditional Use Permit The stated calculation of 31.77/acre does not capture the
effective density which would exceed 40 units per acre even including the area of the
Clipper Bay Drive paper street closure. Thus, the residential apartment development of
197 units will only occur on 4.88 acres of land and would result in a density of over 40
units per acre.Page 3, Evaluation and Recommendation
3. The rezoning and conditional use of the B-2 Boat Sales lot to B-4 (SD) is in significant
conflict with the Comprehensive plan, Shore Drive Overlay District, Shore Drive Shore
Drive Corridor Design Guidelines and city code for"mixed use" district zoning.
A. As defined in city code, Sec. 111. Definitions, "Mixed use. Two (2) or more
separate uses allowed as principal or conditional uses that are physically and
functionally integrated with the same structure on one (1)zoning lot." The
Boat Sales building is neither physically or functionally integrated with the same
structure. To the contrary: In the proposal the boat sales building will be
unattached and significantly separated by the primary roadway leading to and
from the parking garage, building entrance and outdoor amenities.Page 12,
Proposed Conceptual Site Layout.
B. Per the proposal,the boat sales building is only slated to encompass one unit of
2,000 sq. ft. of retail or restaurant space which equates to only 16% of the
space.Boat sales will occupy the remaining 10,000 sq. feet of the building. This
does not represent functional integration.
C. Furthermore,proposed plan indicates that additional space may be allocated to
retail/restaurant, but this would only further exacerbate the report's stated
deficiency of required parking at the boat sales building site: "With the
exception of parking area for the existing boat sales dealership located
between the building and public street,that does not conform with the
Guidelines..."Page 3, Evaluation &Recommendation
4. As detailed extensively in the Mixed-Use Development Guidelines, adopted by City
Council in 2004, the intent to "develop mixed use as a principal tool for redevelopment
and as a preferred land use pattern in the Strategic Growth Areas (SGAs), and develop
necessary zoning and other regulatory tools to encourage it" not in Suburban Focus
Area 1 Shore Drive Corridor with adjacent residential single-family dwellings.Page 7,
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
5. As stated in the report in reference to the Comprehensive Plan and Shore Drive
Corridor Design Guidelines several critical facts have been omitted:
A. The project site is contiguous to the City's 118-acre Pleasure House Point Natural
Area and as such requires "specific planning guidance" per the comprehensive
plan: "Ensure that any development in the surrounding area is complementary
with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space
amenity provided by Pleasure House Point."
B. In addition, although the project site is technically within the "mixed zone" for the
Shore Drive Corridor, it sits on the dividing line with the "green zone", Marlin
Bay Drive.Page 3, Evaluation and Recommendation

6. And as noted during our meeting the PD-H1 Mariners Landing Townhouses adjacent to
the south was omitted from the Zoning History Map. In order to give a full picture of the
zoning which surrounds the property,the single-family dwellings to the south should also
be included.Page 2, Background& Summary of Proposal

Good afternoon Mr. Dao,
I am writing to oppose the ZONING CHANGE for the Marlin Bay Development on Shore Drive. I understand
that the developer is requesting a change to B-4 Zoning. The City's website states that the"purpose of the B-4
Mixed Use District is to provide for retail and commercial service facilities and residential uses in those areas of the
city where a mixture of such uses is desirable and recommended by the policies of the Comprehensive
Plan." I am familiar with the City's Comprehensive Plan,and I do not recall that it recommends overdevelopment
along flood prone Shore Drive. It is incumbent upon the Planning Commission to deny the zoning change
request.
Thank you for your consideration and for your dedication to the City of Virginia Beach,
Laurie Sorabella

Dear Sirs and Madams:
I am opposed to the development at Marlin Bay.
It's my opinion that the city and residents (through donations,grants etc) can and should purchase and preserve the
plots directly surrounding the Pleasure House House Point preservation area in a similar fashion to how PHP was
preserved.
The parcel at the corner of Shore Drive can be developed but with a close eye on density numbers in the Shore Drive
corridor.

Good afternoon,
I am writing to express my strong concern & opposition to the proposed Marlin Bay development.
landed in Virginia as my final duty location in the Air Force, and moved to Virginia Beach from York
County to allow my son to attend Great Neck Middle School. The trade off of moving to such an
already congested area is the traffic and rate of vehicular accidents on Shore Drive (we live in Ocean
Park). After moving here in March 2021, I learned of the Marlin Bay development project& .this will
further congest an already overwhelmed residential area and greatly impact traffic and our quality of
life. I recall a particularly awful accident in front of Taste that occurred in April timeframe& the school
buses could not pass, and all parents were called and expected to navigate the very same road to
pick up their kids from Thoroughgood Elementary. It took me 2 hours to reach my son, and we saw
the carnage and twisted metal when we returned home and passed the accident site. He wonU t
forget it, and the idea of an increase in traffic as a result of this Marlin Bay development is
problematic and threatens our sense of community and safety.
I thought we had found our home in Ocean Park after 28 years in the military. Please consider the
impact to the existing families.
Sincerely,
Renee Miller

Dear Virginia Beach government,
I strongly oppose the Marlin Bay Development.
1 . Sea Level Rise and flood water should be a primary concern. The more you pave over, the less
area there is for rain water to dissipate. FLOODING in the Shore Drive corridor is a huge issue now.
This development will make the problem even worse. It takes very little rain to leave large puddles on
Shore Drive. Cars driving through these puddles spray on other cars impacting their vision. It takes
quite a while for the rain water to dissipate. Sometimes these puddles are still in the roadway hours
later.
2. Traffic on Shore Drive is already increasing and making it more dangerous and difficult to turn onto
Shore Drive. People start taking chances when there is a small "break" in the traffic. Accidents and
injuries are serious consequences to additional traffic. Adding 197 new units means adding 197 or
more vehicles onto Shore Drive.
3. This development is between two important JEB bases. Additional traffic may impact the military
movement between the bases.
4 The design of the apartments, the height and the density is not in keeping with the unique Ocean
Park neighborhood. Trying to squeeze in as many apartments as possible does not benefit anyone.
The goal of any development should be to enhance the neighborhood and to have a positive impact
on the environment. This project does neither.
Please do not allow Marlin Bay development to build!
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,
I am opposed to the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment complex for many reasons, not the least of
which is its negative impact on our fragile Pleasure House Point. The addition of hundreds of cars,
people, and animals is certain to deteriorate this precious resource and undermine its viability.
Furthermore, the high density of this project is not in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood or
the Comprehensive plan that should guide your decisions.
Please send a message to developers that the almighty dollar does not dictate your actions. Protect
Ocean Park.

Dear Sir-
I am a resident of Ocean Park for the last 10 years and I would like to
express my strong opposition to the Marlin Bay Apartment complex that is
proposed for Shore Dr. in Ocean Park. I am opposed to the change in zoning
that would allow a project of this size to be built in our small, unique
neighborhood. This property is not zoned for almost 200 units on only 4.2
acres. The impact on our neighborhood would be a negative one. I chose to
live in Ocean Park because of it's unique qualities, its small town
atmosphere and its unrushed neighborhood quality of life. This project will
change this community in a profoundly negative way and I feel this is unfair
to me as a resident (and property owner). I am not opposed to development
but the density of this project is not in keeping with the neighborhood or the
current zoning requirements for the neighborhood I bought into, live, and
support through my taxes.
This project has 31.77 units per acre. This is more than double anything
built anywhere nearby. Recent projects in Ocean Park have been 14 units
per acre. This is NOT lowest reasonable density called for in
the Comprehensive Plan that is supposed to guide city decision making.
This project is not consistent with the residential area around it. The
Comprehensive Plan calls for new residential development be "consistent
with the character of any residential uses in the surrounding area". The
predominantly 4 story building will tower over the adjacent townhouses. The
41/2 story parking garage will be plainly visible over the 3 story portion of
the building on Shore Dr. This project is out of step with the Ocean Park
community which is comprised of duplexes, townhomes and single family
homes. This apartment complex is not like anything around it and will
change what I moved to Ocean Park to find.
Please do not support this zoning change for the Marlin Bay Project. Thank
you for your attention and your consideration.

Dear Reader,
I am writing to you today with the hope you will hear my voice and understand my opposition to the

Dear Mr.pan
As I have previously written to you regarding the Marlin Bay Proposal, I wanted to address the issue again that I adamantly oppose the
density and the 4-1/2 story parking garage planned for this project. It would degrade our community and blatantly goes against the
Comprehensive Plan set forth to guide City decisions.This project is not compatible with Ocean Park,and is too dense. While I
understand the desire of the owners of the property to develop their land and rightfully so, but not to the extent of destroying the
integrity of our unique neighborhood.The whole purpose of the Shore Drive Advisory is to enhance the area. When a property owner
resorts to bullying a tight community into thinking they are wanting to trade what they say is other buildable property in Ocean Park
for us to look the other way while they denigrate the area saying they are trying to"preserve"those parcels is disgusting and
unprofessional.Their comments,excuse me,borderline threats are as follows:

I thought it would be helpful to show the
properties that we are trying to preserve as part
of this process. All of these properties can be
built on "by-right." Hope this explains it. The
properties next to Pleasure House Point and Crab
Creek are way more valuable to the community
and the environment than the trailer yard and the
old metal building. The opportunity to save these
lots from development is now, before the Marlin
Bay vote. After the vote is over, it will be too late.
Would you rather preserve a dilapidated site on a

Hi Mr. Dao,
I would like to reiterate my STRONGEST POSSIBLE OPPOSITION to the Marlin Bay proposal as it stands. In the words of
Councilman Jones, "It's just too dense." The residents of Ocean Park would appreciate your support in rejecting the
rezoning proposal as it stands. We will not forget your support.

Dear Mr. Dao,
I am flummoxed to learn that you have recommended the approval of the rezoning request for the Marlin Bay project
despite the following incontrovertible issues:
-Only 3 letters of support and over 200 letters of opposition to the proposal (including my email to you on May 19,
2021)
- Unanimous opposition from the Ocean Park Civic League
-Twice,the Bayfront Advisory Commission has failed to support the proposal
-Density that is not in line with the character of the neighborhood
As a homeowner in Ocean Park since 1995, I have always been suspicious of the city government's close relationship
with developers that has resulted in negative quality of life changes to the residents of Virginia Beach. By ignoring the
issues of the opposition to this rezoning, you are only reinforcing my suspicions. You work for the citizens of Virginia
Beach, not the developers. Zoning laws are in place for a reason, and the spirit of those zoning restrictions should be
honored. I do not oppose all development of this parcel, only the extreme scale of this one.
I am happy to discuss this further.

I believe that the Marlin Bay Development will fundamentally change the nature and character of the Shore Drive
corridor. It will set a terrible precedent for inappropriately high density that could open the door for more similar
projects in the future. The properties at Marlin Bay Drive should be developed in accordance with the existing zoning
and City planning guidelines:townhouses, duplexes and single-family homes, not a large high-density multi-family using
erroneous mixed-use rezoning.
I strongly oppose the Marlin Bay Development and ask that you do support this zoning change for the Marlin Bay
project.

To Whom it may concern,
I am a long time resident of Virginia Beach and the Ocean Park Neighborhood and Civic League
Member. I oppose the Marlin Bay Project. The area is already extremely congested as it is with
multiple condominium units and apartments along this small stretch of Virginia Beach in the Shore
Drive area. We have lost so many single family homes to condominiums in tight spaces. We already
have Pleasure House Point and the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp Facility that have created even more
congestion and brought a very heavy rate of vehicle traffic throughout most of the day and evening.
Please consider moving this project to a less congested area. The traffic in the area has made it
almost impossible to cross the street by foot to access the beach. The traffic signals are not all red
when pedestrians are crossing causing accidents and near misses. A woman with her dog was hit by
a vehicle during a hit and run and there have been several very close calls. Another couple was hit by
a car crossing the walkway thinking they had the right away. Traffic is not only congested in the area
with so many condominium units in this area it is also moving very fast as people race cars down
shore drive. I am strongly opposed to the Marlin Bay Project.

My name is Ann Bennis and I am a longtime resident of Ocean Park. I am also a registered voter and I

I am writing to you to update*** and reinforce my OPPOSITION to the request by Marlin Bay
Apartments to increase density from B2-PDH-1 to conditional B-4. My concerns are that the proposed
apartments more than double the accepted standard for units per acre. HIGH DENSITY is not in the best
interest of my community. I am concerned about the environmental impact the building will have on
PLEASURE HOUSE POINT which is an asset to our City and must be protected. I am seriously concerned
about the PARKING ISSUES this density will create for PHP and the surrounding neighborhoods. There
will also be a SIGNIFICANT BURDEN on our EMS/FIRE Services. I respect long term planning and progress
for our City, however, approving this change is NOT IN COMPLIANCE with our approved VIRGINIA BEACH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
***Let them build within the current scope of designated zoning.
***After reading the regulations, I do not see how a retail operation like Lynnhaven Boats can be the
authority to approve this request.
I understand that the City and the citizens would benefit by more revenue. However,the
revenue generation should be in line with the stated community values and SUPPORT not ERODE the
quality of life we enjoy.
DO NOT DISMISS OUR COMMUNITY INPUT. Thank you for representing my concerns in this matter.

I am writing to you to voice my opposition to the proposed multi-family/commercial use at the intersection of Shore
Drive and Marlin Bay Drive. While many of us along the Bay Front Corridor are not opposed to seeing these properties
redeveloped, it is our desire and goal to see the properties developed with a project that complements the surrounding
residential areas.
As you have indicated in your previous report this area is identified as a Suburban Focus Area in the Comprehensive
Plan; a plan that recommends low to medium residential density and development of structures that are
complementary to surrounding uses.
• The proposed development of a four and 1/2 story building(s), with 197 units contained within is not low to
medium density. Low to medium density is 12 to 18 units to the acre,which is with in keeping of the existing
densities in the area. The proposed height and bulk of the building is not complementary or in keeping with the
existing residential and or commercial uses in the area.The height and size of the building will overwhelm
existing residential uses.
• The proposed reduction of impervious area indicated in the report looks good on paper, but until the proposed
improvements, including storm water management, are made to this section of Shore Drive there will be
increased problems with drainage and flooding.To predict that this section of Shore Drive is currently under
design review, (perhaps at 30%design) and the project is expected to begin in 2024 is unrealistic. Shore Drive
Corridor improvements Phase 3 (Great Neck Road to the eastern side to the Lesner Bridge were scheduled in
2019 and have not begun to date). Filing the site to accomplish a 7 foot elevation will cause adjacent properties
to flood.
• This is a small issue to raise but one needs only look at the "iconic feature"that was proffered on the former
Duck In site to image the visual amenity(Condition 7).
• As a side note the property across the street, noted#5 on the zoning map,first came in as a 4 story building with
parking on the first floor, office on the second floor, and multi-family on floors 3 and 4. The developer was asked
to redesign the project to be more consistent with and complement the surrounding area as staff could not
support the request for of a 4 story building and the size of the building.
As I have stated I am not opposed to development and redevelopment in the Bay Front Corridor(Shore Drive) - in fact I
welcome it. I am opposed to development that is not consistent with the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay,the 1997 Uli
study, and the Design Guidelines.

The proposed apartment complex is a complete opposite of what Ocean Park looks and feels like. We moved into OP
three years ago for permanency. While we realize the need for economic growth, etc please consider residential
structures that are in line with Ocean Park. It's quite ridiculous that something of this scope (Marlin Bay Apt) is even
being considered.

Shore drive is the last place for the beach locals to enjoy their life and live peacefully without the
terror of tourists and violence like the VB oceanfront has become. The development of the parking
garage will outrage locals and ultimately drive them out of their home.

Greetings
We are Ocean Park homeowners and we STRONGLY oppose the request to increase density and rezone Marlin Bay
Apartments on Shore Dr. and Marlin Bay from B2/PDH1 to conditional B4.
While we am not opposed to all development—we do want to ensure it is in line with the community and quality of life
here—and fits within the character of the community.
We would never have bought a home in this area had we known the city would consider, much less allow,such
unwarranted, oversized rezoning.
Please do not support the request to rezone this property with such a drastic overdevelopment. If not now, when social
distancing has become an important way of life, will zoning bodies and developers learn that providing people
appropriate space and density is an more important criteria that profit.
Furthermore—the flooding that we have all witnessed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast - is an
important lesson. We CANNOT and SHOULD NOT keep over building on our infrastructure. The Shore Drive area
already has flooding and congestion problems. Overbuilding will lead to more frequent issues, greater stress on the
community and impart a negative impact on the quality of life for the current residents who moved here within the
existing zoning codes.
This is a lovely enclave in Virginia Beach and we MUST NOT set a precedent that will continue to detract from its family
and community vibe.
While we cannot be there in person—someone in the planning department should have taken a closer look at the
calendar and realized there might be conflicts—we can assure you our opposition is as strong as if we were there in
person and the decisions made at this meeting will impact our view of our representatives in the same way.
Respectfully
David and Rebecca Unger

Dear Virginia Beach City Planners,
As with many of my neighbors and others utilizing the Shore Drive area as home, I
OPPOSE the request to increase density and rezoning for Marlin Bay Apartment from
B-2 PDH-1 to Conditional B-4. I am NOT OPPOSED to any development but want to
ensure it is in line with our community and maintains our quality of life here.

I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Marlin Bay Development on Shore Drive. This proposal is not
consistent with current zoning regulations and changing the zoning regulations to support this project will have
immediate and long term adverse effects to the shore drive corridor. My main concerns are impacts to the existing
Shore Drive infrastructure, Pleasure House Point, and Ocean Park's unique character.
The existing infrastructure does not support the magnitude of traffic today, and the addition of 197 units will only make
traffic worse. If the zoning is changed for this project, what will stop other large development projects from being
approved and their second and third order impacts?
I am also concerned with long term impacts to the Pleasure House Point and the investment made by the city and
Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The Comprehensive Plan states that any development of the surrounding area to be
complimentary with regard to both design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided by
Pleasure House Point. This development will impact the existing parking along Marlin Bay Drive and I am also concerned
with the potential environmental impact to Pleasure House Point.
Shore Drive is supposed to be the gateway to the resort area. What sort of message are we sending to out of town
visitors when they are sitting in bumper to bumper traffic with the only thing they can see out of their windows are tall
multi-story apartment buildings? I have done that traveling to Ocean City, MD and have vowed never to go back and
hope the city of Virginia Beach does not want out of town visitors to our city to have the same experience.
Please vote NO on the proposed Marlin Bay Development and save Ocean Park's endearing character.

Hello! My name is Jaime Duca and I am writing in opposition to the Marlin Bay complex. As a resident of Shore Drive, I
was drawn to the area based on the decreased population compared to the Oceanfront. I believe it will devalue many
homes in the area and obstruct views. Not to mention the tedious construction happening in the area for the residents.
It's important that the committee take into account factors outside of the monetary value associated with construction.
It is a quaint community with members who seem to strongly oppose the project. I urge you to look past the dollar signs
and consider the negative impact this will have on residents in the area.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Jaime Duca

Dear Mr. Dao,
My husband and I own the home at 3836 Ocean Tides Drive. It is the last end unit townhouse on the
strip of townhomes that would back up to the proposed complex. I've read a portion of your report on
the proposed Marlin Bay Apartment Complex and your recommended approval of the street closure
and zoning changes required to make this possible.
We are curious as to how you came to your decision to recommend approval, when everything
speaks against this project.
From my understanding, there are hundreds of letters from residents of Ocean Park opposing this
project. The proposal is NOT consistent from what I understand about the Shore Drive Corridor
Design, and the complex would not blend into the community; it would be a behemoth overshadowing
the adjacent properties, including our home.
Currently, when one looks out our back door, there is an empty lot just behind our fence. According to
this proposed plan, the apartment complex main access road would run directly behind our fence.
The four-stories - potentially taller than 50 feet - would tower over our home and eliminate sunshine
and any privacy we currently have. The noise of constant traffic, the inability to enjoy any privacy in
our backyard, the inconvenience of having to drive up Marlin Bay drive and make a u-turn to get to
our street due to the closure of Ocean Tides Drive access, the trash bins, the proposed kayak/canoe
storage facility DIRECTLY next to our home (unless we buy the adjacent lost when the city offers it to
us) - all of these things will impact the quality of life not only for us but for our immediate neighbors.
This will also impact us financially by reducing the value of our home! Will the developer or the city
reimburse us for the financial loss and for ruining the enjoyment of our own property?
Again, I'd like to understand how anyone would consider approving this project. The developer needs
to go back to the drawing board and design something that blends better with the community.
Additional townhomes or two-story duplexes would fit well. We aren't against progress or
development, but the Marlin Bay project is totally inappropriate density for that sized lot. So many
people I know can only shake their heads as they drive down Shore Drive and wonder who could
have possibly approved some of the projects there.
I don't understand the process, or how you came to recommend approval despite overwhelming
resident opposition (the ones who have everything to lose and nothing to gain from this), and I doubt
that you can or will retract your recommendation; however, I do believe that you owe those would be
most adversely affected by this project an explanation as to why your decision went against zoning,
planning, logic and public opinion.
Sincerely,
Andrina Fischer

Dear City Council,
As homeowners off of Shore Dr, my husband and I strongly oppose the Marlin Bay project. We moved to Cape Henry
Shores a year ago from Shadowlawn specifically to live in a less dense community while still living somewhere we can
bike and walk to retail/restaurants. By adding roughly 200 units in one project, which is more than double the current
density of any project nearby, I fear the amount of traffic will decrease desirability and eventually property value, and
increase potential deaths as we've noticed many drivers struggle to follow posted speed limits already. Please do not
open the door to turning Shore Dr into another "oceanfront".
Very respectfully,

Lynda is an experienced Realtor and we do not oppose all development.The proposed

nightmare traffic burden on Shore Drive, The Gateway to Virginia Beach.
A significant negative impact on our quality of life would result from such a development. You
only need look at the beauty and public enjoyment of Pleasure House Point and The Brock Center
against the original planned development to judge the potential impact of this vote.
Please do the right thing on our behalf! Refuse the requested rezoning!
