CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance to Provide $7,000,000 of Existing Appropriations in Capital Project
(#100059) "Resort Parking District" to the City of Virginia Beach Development
Authority for Acquisition of a Structured Parking Facility at 35th Street
MEETING DATE: December 14, 2021
■ Background: Providing public parking at the Oceanfront has been a long-term
goal of the City of Virginia Beach (the "City"). Currently, there are no publicly owned
parking facilities north of 31 st Street.
City Council established Capital Improvement Program (PG100059) Resort Parking
District to provide funding for public parking opportunities at the Oceanfront.
Suburban Capital, Inc. (the "Developer") or an affiliated entity is developing a Hyatt
Place Hotel at 3601 Atlantic Avenue (the "Hotel") on the site of the former Belvedere
Hotel. Parking for the Hotel will be at 205 35th Street in a new parking structure (the
"Garage").
Representatives of the Developer approached City staff about expanding the Garage to
provide public parking in addition to the spaces to be constructed for use by the Hotel.
The Developer had planned to construct approximately 140 spaces to satisfy the needs
of the Hotel but has agreed to expand the size of the Garage to a total of 354+/- spaces.
This would provide 154 private spaces for the Hotel and 200 public parking spaces.
To facilitate this transaction, City Council would transfer $7,000,000 of existing
appropriations to the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "Authority").
The Authority would then enter into an agreement with the Developer to acquire the 200
public parking spaces and for the operation of the Garage.
■ Considerations: This project would allow the City to provide additional public
parking north of 31 st Street at the Oceanfront on a parcel that would otherwise provide
only private parking for the Hotel.
The total public investment would be $33,800 per space, with $23,900 per space
attributable to the construction costs and $9,900 per space for land costs, for a total
anticipated public investment of $6,760,000 (subject to adjustment should the final
number of spaces vary from 200).
Included in the cost per public space will be the construction of approximately 2,200
square feet of ground floor office space to be owned by the Authority and utilized for the
City's Parking Operations Offices (the "Parking Office"). In addition to the Parking
Office, the Developer will also construct approximately 4,600 square feet of first floor
office or retail space to be retained by Developer(the "Developer Space").
Once constructed, the Garage would be a two-unit condominium with the 200 public
parking spaces being one unit and the 154 spaces being the other. The Garage would
be operated so that all spaces would be available for use by public and private patrons,
with the access system ensuring that sufficient spaces are reserved for the Hotel at all
times. The Parking Office and Developer Space will be two additional condominium
units.
• Public Information: This item will be advertised via the normal City Council
agenda process, with an opportunity for public comment to be advertised for December
7, 2021.
■ Alternatives: Approve the Ordinance as presented, modify the terms as desired
by City Council, or deny approval of the Ordinance.
■ Recommendation: Approval.
■ Attachments: Ordinance, Summary of Terms, Location Map, Disclosure
Statement Form.
Recommended Action: Approval
Submitting Department/Agency: Economic Development lVA.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEMS: Ordinances to Designate The Cole Academy Preschool, Inc., Mutts with a
Mission, Shakyamuni Buddhist Meditation Monastery, Hampton Roads
VegFest, New Light Community Outreach, Wild Baby Raccoon Rescue, Wave
College, Inc. t/a Wave Leadership College, Your Wellness, Inc., Discover
Courage, and Junior Achievement of Greater Hampton Roads, Inc. as Being
Exempt from Local Property Taxation
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 7, 2021
MEETING DATE: December 14, 2021
■ Background: Article X, Section 6 (a)(6) of the Virginia Constitution provides that
property used by its owner for religious, charitable, patriotic, historical, benevolent,
cultural, or public park and playground purposes may be exempted from taxation by
classification or designation by an ordinance adopted by the local governing body.
Section 58.1-3651 of the Virginia Code sets forth the process for designating
specific organizations as being exempt from local taxation and a list of factors for the
local governing body to consider is set forth. They are:
1. Whether the organization is exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501 (c) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954;
2. Whether a current annual alcoholic beverage license for serving alcoholic
beverages has been issued by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to
such organization, for use on such property;
3. Whether any director, officer, or employee of the organization is paid
compensation in excess of a reasonable allowance for salaries or other
compensation for personal services which such director, officer, or employee
actually renders;
4. Whether any part of the net earnings of such organization inures to the benefit of
any individual, and whether any significant portion of the service provided by such
organization is generated by funds received from donations, contributions, or local,
state or federal grants;
5. Whether the organization provides services for the common good of the public;
6. Whether a substantial part of the activities of the organization involves carrying on
propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation and whether the
organization participates in, or intervenes in, any political campaign on behalf of
any candidate for public office;
7. The revenue impact to the locality and its taxpayers of exempting the property; and
8. Any other criteria, facts and circumstances that the governing body deems
pertinent to the adoption of such ordinance.
The City Council adopted a revised policy regarding applications for Tax Exemption by
Designation on May 6, 2008 (attached).
• Considerations: The Commissioner of the Revenue has received ten
applications for tax exemption by designation, and nine are presented for the City
Council's action. The one not presented (Junior Achievement of Greater Hampton
Roads, Inc.) is being held back while a zoning issue is reviewed. The Commissioner
has reviewed the nine applications presented for City Council action and finds each
meets the City Council policy for Tax Exemption by Designation. However, two of the
applications include real property, and the applicant seeks exemption of such property
notwithstanding the fact that an operator of the nonprofit resides in the real property.
These are forwarded for consideration because Virginia caselaw would allow exemption
of the real property if the primary use of the property is subject to exemption and the
operator residence supports that use. For the two applications in this package, the
training of puppies may require nontraditional and overnight hours, and the conduct of
mediation retreats includes nights and weekends.
• Alternative: City Council is not required to approve exemption requests.
• Public Information: A public hearing for these items will be held on December
7, 2021, during the Council Formal Session. An advertisement for the public hearing
appeared in the Beacon more than five days prior to that hearing as required by statute.
Also, this item will be advertised in the normal Council Agenda Process.
• Attachments: Ordinances (9); Commissioner of Revenue Summary of the
Applications (10); Disclosure Forms (10); Council Policy
Recommended Action: Approval of Ordinances

CityCouncil Policy
Title: City Council Policy Regarding Applications for Tax Exemption by
Designation
Date of Adoptiorr February 3, 2004 Dates of Revisions:May 6,2008 Page 1 of 4
1.0 Purpose and Need
Purpose: To establish criteria for approval of resolutions by City Council to exempt, by
designation, local nonprofit organizations from real and personal property taxes.
Need: City Council has requested guidance as to criteria for considering exemptions as well as a
procedure for reviewing requests for exemption from local property taxes. The Commissioner of
the Revenue has offered revisions to CounciI's policy adopted on February 2, 2004 in an effort
to streamline the exemption review process for local nonprofit organizations and provide
necessary analysis and oversight of the application process.
Legislative Background: The Virginia Constitution provides that, after January 1, 2003, local
governments may, by designation, exempt the real and personal property of nonprofit
organizations from local property taxes if used exclusively for religious, charitable, patriotic,
historical, benevolent,cultural,or public park and playground purposes. However,as provided
in Virginia Code § 58.1-3651, the local governing body must adopt an ordinance to exempt the
ProPertY. .
2.0 Policy
The City Council is not required to designate any organization properly applying for exemption
from taxation, and every designation of an organization is conditioned upon compliance with the
terms of this policy and any ordinance granting the exemption. If an organization does not
comply with these requirements, the City Council may revoke the tax exemption after providing
notice and a hearing to the organization. Any revocation of an exemption shall be effective at the
beginning of the tax year during which the revocation occurs.
The applicant or a representative of the applicant shall provide the Commissioner of the Revenue
detailed information necessary to determine the benefits to the public that will result from
granting tax exemption. In considering applications, the Commissioner of the Revenue shall
employ the following guidelines:

requirement for retention of the exempt status of the property. The application form shall be

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend § 2-83 of the City Code Pertaining to City Holidays
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background: The current City Code sets forth the list of City holidays but does
not take into account what days are observed as holidays when Christmas Eve
falls on a Friday and Christmas is on Saturday, nor does it address circumstances
where Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday and Christmas is on Monday.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance adds a reference to City Policy to
determine which days in both of these situations employees will receive paid
holidays. The revised City Policy is attached and indicates that in these situations
employees will receive paid holidays on Friday and Monday. Also, earlier this year,
the City Council approved an amendment to this Code section to add Juneteenth
as a City holiday. This ordinance includes a housekeeping edit that revises a
reference to the number of City holidays given that addition.
• Public Information: Advertisement will be as part of the City Council agenda.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance, Human Resources Holiday Policy

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Sections 2-84, 2-85 and 2-101 of the City Code
Pertaining to Annual and Personal Leave and Defining "Full-Time Employee"
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background: The City desires to support more flexibility in work hours for exempt
employees. This amendment would remove the requirement that exempt full time
employees have to work forty (40) hours a week, and instead will permit them to work
eighty (80) hours in a two-week period in order to be considered full time. In addition, the
amendment specifically includes sworn law enforcement officers and firefighters who
work different work periods in the definition of full-time employees.
Furthermore, the City desires to increase the maximum amount of personal leave a part-
time employee can carry over to one hundred twelve (112) hours. This change will not
result in additional financial liability for the City, as the portion of the Code that prohibits
part-time employees from receiving monetary payout upon termination of employment for
their accumulated personal leave remains unchanged.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance updates all relevant code sections to
allow exempt full-time employees to work eighty (80) hours in a two-week period; to add
language regarding sworn law enforcement officers and firefighters; and to increase the
personal leave maximum carry over for part-time employees.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approve.
• Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval

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
ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing 1) a Reduction in the Purchase Price and 2) a Credit
to Offset Development Costs for 11.7 Acres of City Property Located on
Bonney Road to be Purchased by Olympia Development Corporation
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach (the "City") owns property located on
Bonney Road (GPIN: 1477-52-4516) (the "Property"), known as the former Days
Inn. The Property consists of approximately 11 .7 acres, approximately 7.5 acres
of which is not constrained by wetlands. The Property is located in the Pembroke
Central Business District/SGA, in close proximity to Town Center and the
Convergence Center. The Property also abuts a portion of the new Thalia Creek
Greenway.
On June 4, 2019, City Council adopted Ordinance ORD-3591S (the "2019
Ordinance") authorizing the sale of the Property to Olympia Development
Corporation ("Olympia") for the purchase price of $2,312,000. At the time of the
2019 Ordinance, Olympia planned a mixed-use development on the Property. The
City and Olympia entered into a Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2020, in
accordance with the 2019 Ordinance.
In connection with Olympia's planned acquisition and development of the
Property, on May 21, 2019, the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the
"VBDA") approved an award in the amount of$625,000 pursuant to Part B of the
Economic Development Investment Program ("EDIP"). The EDIP funds were
intended to offset costs associated with road improvements, wetland mitigation,
and sanitary sewer and stormwater improvements.
• Considerations: Due to site conditions and increased development costs,
Olympia has requested that the City consider reducing the purchase price for the
Property to $1,700,000. In addition to the reduced purchase price, Olympia has
requested a credit in the amount of up to $625,000 (the "Credit") against the
purchase price to reimburse actual and verified wetland mitigation, sanitary

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Funds to Provide Two Interest-Free Loans to the
Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc. for the Purchase of New
Ambulances
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background: The ten volunteer rescue squads in the City of Virginia Beach
provide invaluable services to our community. The volunteer rescue squads own all the
ambulances providing emergency medical transportation services in the City of Virginia
Beach. They receive no direct tax funding for their operating costs to provide these
services and do not charge patients for the medical treatment and/or transportation
rendered. The primary source of revenue for the volunteer rescue squads is through their
individual squad fund drives, conducted annually.
Depending on the availability of funds, the City provides some support costs for the rescue
squads, such as providing standard equipment for the ambulances, physical facilities and
spaces to house and support equipment and personnel, paying utility bills for facilities
housing a rescue squad, providing or paying for property and liability insurance for
facilities used to operate the volunteer emergency medical transport, providing or paying
for fuel for ambulances, zone cars and other emergency service vehicles, providing or
paying for insurance covering ambulances and other emergency service and support
vehicles owned by the rescue squads, providing adequate staff and budget for volunteer
EMS recruitment and retention programs, providing initial and continued training and
education of volunteers, and providing shift supervision.
Also, the City of Virginia Beach has historically provided short-term, no-interest loans to
the volunteer rescue squads servicing our citizens. The majority of these loans have been
to provide initial capital for the acquisition of replacement ambulances.
This agenda item is to provide two loans requested by the Virginia Beach Volunteer
Rescue Squad. One loan will be for $221,000 to replace an ambulance that has been
recommended for replacement by the City Garage, and this loan will be made
immediately upon action of the City Council. The second loan is for $457,000, and it will
be disbursed in January to allow the purchase of two replacement ambulances.
Collectively, these loans will provide funding for the replacement of three ambulances.
• Considerations: For the loan of $221,000, there will be five annual payments of
$44,200 each, with the first payment due on November 15, 2022. For the loan of
$457,000, there will be five annual payments of$91,400 each, with the first payment due
on January 15, 2023.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda notification process.
• Alternatives: The alternative to this request is for the squad to pursue a business
loan from a private financial institution, which will be costlier.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

Garage.One unit will be partially funded with the$185,000 City grant received earlier this year with the
remainder funded with from existing squad reserves.
We respectfully request a$221,000, 5-year interest-free loan in order to fund the 2nd ambulance.The
ability to use the proceeds of a loan is important as it will avoid an immediate full-cost draw-down of the
investments of both VBVRS and the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation. It is the earnings on the
Foundation's endowment that fund the Foundation's city-wide recruitment program as well as the
annual grant awards to other rescue squads,Marine Rescue Team and the SAR/Bike team.
VBVRS continues to lead the volunteer EMS system with 147 Operational,52 Admin members and 14
BLS Interns. In addition,the squad responds to approximately one-third of EMS calls and routinely staffs
other stations and lends ambulances to other squads when needed.
Our ambulance committee has worked very hard in developing a best-value specification and has
followed all City guidelines. We intend to continue our prudent replacement program over the coming
years in order to keep our fleet up to date and provide the City with first class assets and service.
Your consideration and assistance with this loan is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to call if you
have any questions for the Squad.
Sincerely,

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $150,000 from What Works Cities for an
Early Childhood Language Development Implementation Grant
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background: The Department of Economic Development, through its GrowSmart
program, successfully applied for a What Works Cities and Results for America grant to
help plan a program to support early cognitive and language development and improve
kindergarten readiness for local children. Last year, GrowSmart received $150,000
funding for the second year's implementation of the program. This is the third year of the
grant, and $150,000 in grant funding will be used to implement the continuation and
expansion of GrowSmart's Language ENvironment Analysis program, which includes
strength-based parent groups, home visitation services, and professional development
for early care and education providers. GrowSmart's existing collaborative partners who
offer services to families with children up to age three will receive additional training and
technical support to incorporate this innovative talk pedometer/language focus in their
work to further strengthen home language environments. GrowSmart's partners will also
receive instructional training and materials to embed quality interactions and language
focus in the early care and education programs to enhance the talking environments.
• Considerations: This grant is the third year of a three-year program that will total
$448,000. The year three grant has a local match that is covered by existing funding
within the Economic Development Operating Budget. Without this appropriation of grant
funding from What Works Cities and Results for America, GrowSmart staff would not be
able to implement the additional language focus into the program's early education
services. As a result of COVID-19 and multiple service disruptions for families with young
children, City staff is seeing an increased need for these supports in our community. This
grant funding will support GrowSmart in meeting this need for our youngest residents and
families.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $53,080 from the Virginia Department of
Social Services for the Adult Protective Services Program
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background: In Section 9301 of the American Rescue Plan Act (P.L. 117-2), the
United States Congress appropriated $276 million to support adult protective services
operated by states and local governments. This additional funding was split into two fiscal
years, with $88 million to be used in federal Fiscal Year 2021 . Of this $88 million, $2
million was apportioned to the Commonwealth of Virginia by the Administration for
Community Living, a sub-unit of the United States Department of Health and Human
Services. The Virginia Department of Social Services distributed the $2 million to local
entities throughout the Commonwealth, and the City was awarded $53,080. The funds
will be used by the Virginia Beach Adult Protective Services, a component of the
Department of Human Services. APS serves adults 60 or older as well as adults 18-59
who are incapacitated.
• Considerations: The $53,080 will cover expenditures to enhance and improve the
response by Adult Protective Services to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The pass-through
federal funds will purchase technology, materials, and resources to improve the
prevention of adult maltreatment and will support local investigations of adult abuse,
neglect, or exploitation. No local match is required for this award.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer $681,569 to Capital Project #100581, "Crime
Prevention Through Environmental Design," for the Renovation of the Second
Precinct Police Substation
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
■ Background: The Department of Public Works, through its Facilities Management
Division, continues to coordinate the renovation and buildout of the Police substation in
the Resort Area. Improvements to the Second Precinct Police Substation located on
2112 Atlantic Avenue are necessary to continue the Police Department's efforts to create
a safer, more welcoming environment at the Oceanfront through the establishment of a
Police satellite office. Planned and impromptu meetings and a constant presence are
intended to create positive interactions among the public, the business community, and
the public safety departments. The completion of this project will assist the Police
Department in this mission.
Work to be completed includes ballistic protection at the front and rear of the building to
protect occupants. The interior portion of the renovation includes all finishes, selective
interior wall demolition and construction, systems furniture, new lighting, and new
communications / security infrastructure. The project completion date is estimated to be
late spring of 2022. Total budget estimates to complete the buildout of the substation is
$1,181,569 based on the most recent design. The capital project, "Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design,"was initially established on April 20, 2021 by ordinance.
The City Council appropriated $500,000 to the project for initial buildout and furnishings.
As additional design work has been completed, this project requires an additional
$681,569.
• Considerations: The proposed fund source for this transfer is City Council
Emergent Needs Reserve. If this transfer request is approved, the balance in the reserve
will be $6,495,612.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
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: December 7, 2021
• Background:
On October 19, 2021 , the City Council deferred this application to the December
7, 2021 meeting in order to provide additional time for consideration of noise
abatement related to concerns raised by a nearby property owner. Since that
meeting, the applicant has hired an attorney who has provided modifications to two
conditions, Conditions 1 and 4, that clarify and specify details related to the effort
to keep noise to a minimum. Those changes are depicted below with underlined
text.
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 requires 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
Murphy's of Virginia Beach
Page 2 of 4
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
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. After this item was deferred by City Council on October 19, Staff
worked with the applicant to update conditions to require the stage to face
southeast, away from the residential uses in the area, and also require that the
stage walls provide multiple sound attenuation features. 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, which is noted below by underline text.
• Recommendation:
On September 8, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 10-0.

Code. The height of the stage walls shall not exceed eight (8) feet and shall be

Agenda Item 11

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 315t 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 30th 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
micromobility 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 31"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 30t`'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 façade 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.

To whom it may concern.
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

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

AudioSeal° Reinforced Sound Barrier
DESCRIPTION
_ AudioSeal® Reinforced Sound Barrier is a high strength
mass loaded vinyl that can be used when a durable, tear
_ resistant material is required for soundproofing. This
sound barrier is reinforced with a high-strength polyester
fabric to improve durability to prevent tearing when
suspended vertically. It is often hung using grommets to
prevent the passage of airborne sound and noise.
Since this barrier can support its own weight, you can use
it to create hanging barrier partitions. If partition walls
do not go up to the roof deck, you can use it as a sound
barrier extension to the wall, which will prevent sound
from flanking into the next room.
This versatile material may be used for a wide range

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 within
the Corporate Landing Business Park (GPINs 2415122650, 2415040770,
2415146859, 2415259170, 2415227788). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS
ANNE
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
This request was deferred by the City Council on November 9, 2021 to provide
additional time to research potential impacts to contract purchasers of property
within the Corporate Landing Business Park (the Park). Those impacts have been
discussed with the contract purchasers and all issues have been resolved. Prior,
this item was deferred on October 19, 2021 in order for the setbacks adjacent to
residential neighborhoods and General Booth Boulevard to be revised back to 75
feet in the Proffers and Design Criteria, and previously deferred 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 properties under the ownership
of the Virginia Beach Development Authority (VBDA) and FROB, LLC within the
Park. The applicant sent letters to 167 neighboring properties within 500 feet of the
parcels associated with this request.
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 VBDA and FROB, LLC. The remainder of the Park will be subject to
the current Design Criteria. The design criteria provide guidance on site design,
building design, landscaping, and signage to ensure a unified, qualitative park
environment.
The updated design criteria for the 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 parking, building materials, and landscape
screening, while maintaining guidelines to remain an attractive "park-like"
setting
Virginia Beach Development Authority
Page 2 of 3
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
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
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. Opposition was present at the October 19,
2021 public hearing. Two speakers voiced concerns related to increased traffic in
the area, the potential for additional disruptive noise, and removal of existing trees
within the Park.
Along with the Adjacent Property Owner notifications required by law, Staff mailed
167 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.
• Recommendation:
On August 11, 2021, the Planning Commission Planning Commission placed this
application on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion to recommend approval by
a recorded vote of 9-0.

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

between buildings and other surrounding
elements. Careful concern will be given to
location and treatment of utility and service
facilities with the intent of minimizing
detrimental visual and environmental impact.
B. Site ingress and egress shall be reviewed for
efficient flow of traffic within the site and on
abutting streets.
C. If plans and specifications are not sufficiently
complete or are otherwise inadequate, the VBDA
shall reject them as being inadequate. Approval
of design will be good for a one (1) year period,
after which time, if construction has not started
the building developer will be required to
resubmit.
D. After approval of the contract documents by the
VBDA, any change in exterior materials or
exterior colors during construction, shall be
approved by the VBDA prior to ordering of
materials.

C. When questions of judgement or interpretation
arise, the decision of the VBDA is final and
binding on all parties.
D. Any revisions, additions, or alterations to any
portion of approved plans shall be subject to
review and approval.
E. Neither Corporate Landing or the VBDA or its
successors or assigns shall be liable in damages
to anyone submitting plans to them for approval,
or to any owner or occupant of land affected by
this Declaration, by reason of mistaken
judgement, negligence or nonfeasance, arising out
of or in connection with the approval or
disapproval or failure to approve any such
plans. Every person, corporation, partnership,
or organization who submits plans to the VBDA or
Declarant for approval agrees, by the submission
of such plans, and every owner or occupant of any

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.yesvirqiniabeach.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.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: THE FRIENDS SCHOOL [Applicant & Property Owner] Modification of
Conditions to a Conditional Use Permit (Private School) for the property
located at 1537 Laskin Road (GPINs 2417081307, 2417081734, 2417081031).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
The Friends School, located on 11 acres within the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area,
has been in existence since 1956. This is a request for a Modification of Conditions
for several additions to the school as well as a reduction in the overall acreage of
the school's boundary. The modification includes the expansion of the existing
administration building; the construction of an outdoor stage, outdoor classrooms,
and an outdoor shaded art patio; as well as a reduction in the property by 6.63
acres. This reduction is also discussed under separate cover in the Agenda
Request Form for 1537, LLC, as this entity has purchased the 6.63 acres from the
school.
Modular classrooms will be installed temporarily during the construction phase, so
the school can continue to operate during construction. The modular classrooms
will be removed upon completion of construction.
The applicant is requesting a deviation to the required 15-foot-wide buffer along
the southern property line. As the school site is zoned B-2 Community Business
District and the property sold to 1537, LLC, is zoned A-18 Apartment District, a
Category IV buffer is now required. A 10-foot wide buffer with Category VI
landscape screening is proposed, which requires a solid, six-foot tall privacy fence.
This deficiency is being requested through the provisions of Section 221(i) of the
Zoning Ordinance, which allows City Council to grant deviations from required
landscaping.
• Considerations:
In Staff's view and Planning Commission concurred, the proposal is in keeping
with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the Hilltop SGA.
The property is designated in the SGA Plan as institutional use, specifically for the
existing Friends School. While the school site will reduce in size, parking will
continue to be met on site, and enrollment will not increase. Proposed
improvements to the site include enhanced landscaping and attractive building
additions with amenities that will enhance the school's programing. In this instance,
The Friends School

Staff and the Planning Commission are supportive of the deviation request to the
minimum landscaping requirement. Further details pertaining to the application, as
well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no
known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On November 10, 2021, the Planning Commission placed this application on the
consent agenda passing a motion to recommend approval with a vote of 11-0.
1. All previous conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit approvals of May
28, 1996 and September 14, 1999 shall be voided and replaced with the
following conditions below.
2. A 10-foot wide landscape buffer with Category VI landscaping is proposed for
this site. This is a deviation to the 15-foot wide landscape buffer with Category
IV landscaping, as required by the City Zoning Ordinance.
3. When the property is redeveloped, it shall be in substantial conformance with
the Conceptual Site Layout entitled "MASTER PLAN — PHASE 1 , VIRGINIA
BEACH FRIENDS SCHOOL, Virginia Beach, Virginia," prepared by WPL,
dated October 14, 2021 , which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community
Development.
4. The exterior of the proposed building addition shall substantially adhere in
appearance, size, and materials to the submitted elevations entitled "VIRGINIA
BEACH FRIENDS SCHOOL — EXTERIOR RENDERING," prepared by HBA,
dated October 14, 2021 , which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community
Development.
5. The modular classrooms shall be located on the site as depicted on the
diagram entitled "TEMPORARY MODULAR CLASSROOM SITE DIAGRAM —
VIRGINIA BEACH FRIENDS SCHOOL, Virginia Beach, Virginia," prepared by
WPL, dated August 16, 2021. The modular classrooms shall be limited to a five
year time frame from the date of City Council action or within six months
following final occupancy approval by the Building Official's Office, or whichever
is sooner.
6. The student enrollment of the school, including all future facility expansions,
shall not exceed 400 students.
7. All on-site signage must meet the requirements and regulations of the Zoning
Ordinance. A separate permit from the Department of Planning & Community
Development is required for any new signage installed on the site.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Modification of Conditions for this Private School, in Staff's Opinion, is acceptable. As mentioned
previously,the applicant is seeking to modify the existing Conditional Use Permit to reduce the acreage of the school, as
a portion of the school's property has been sold, and to add modifications to the school. The request remains in keeping
with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the Hilltop SGA, as the property is designated for
institutional use, specifically for the existing Friends School.
This site is located in the greater than 75 dB Ldn noise zone. During the Navy's review of the school's expansion in the
late 1990s, a condition of approval was included to limit the maximum enrollment to 400 students.This condition will
remain, and the enrollment will not change with this Modification of Conditions request.
Per the City Zoning Ordinance, a 15-foot wide landscape buffer with Category IV landscaping(a mix of evergreen trees
and shrubs) is required along property lines abutting Residential or Apartment Districts. However,the applicant
proposes to install a 10-foot wide landscape buffer instead of the 15-foot wide buffer, but with the addition of a six-foot
tall solid cedar wood fence with cap and evergreen plantings reaching a minimum of 10 feet in height. Staff is supportive
of the proposed deviation.
It is evident that the applicant is seeking to reduce the footprint of the school and will continue to operate at full
capacity.The parking will continue to be met on site,exceeding this requirement by three spaces, and enrollment will
not be increased. Improvements to the site include increased landscaping with a six-foot tall privacy fence and Category
VI plantings reaching a minimum height of 10 feet, improved circulation with a newly constructed roundabout feature
with a proposed focal point art display, a building addition to the existing administration building, outdoor classroom
areas, and a shaded art patio for enhanced outside learning. In Staff's opinion,this modification request to reduce the
school's footprint with the additional on-site improvements are acceptable and will not negatively impact adjacent
property owners.
Based on these considerations, Staff is recommending approval of this request subject to the conditions listed below.

David Weiner:
Two representatives.
Jack Wall:
Welcome. Hi, please state your name for the record.

Mr. Roethlisberger:
Thank you.
Jack Wall:
Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none. The
Planning Commission has asked Mr. Inman to read this into the record.
Michael Inman:
Thank you, Mr. Wall. This is an application for Modification of Conditions and has to do with a
private school on Laskin Road, Friends School. Been there for quite a long time. It's also
existing zoning is B2 and A18 apartment. So, it's located in the Hilltop SGA, and the applicant's
now seeking to reduce the acreage of the site because the rear portion of the property has been
sold. Approximately 6.63 acres will be removed from the Friends School property and about four
acres will be remaining. Agenda item three will reflect here next, the new property owners desire
on how to redevelop it. The staff has stated that the request for the modification is acceptable.
Per the city's Zoning Ordinance, a 15-foot wide buffer, landscape buffer. The category four
landscaping is required along the property lines abutting residential or apartment districts.
However, the applicant proposes to install a 10-foot wide landscape buffer instead of 15 feet.
But with the addition of a six-foot tall, solid cedar wood fence with cap and evergreen plantings
reaching them minimum of 10 feet in height. So, staff is supportive of this deviation to the code
requirements, and we have decided to put on the Consent Agenda for that reason.
Michael Inman:
Sorry.
David Weiner:
Oh yes sir, Mr Inman.
Michael Inman:
I need to make a disclosure pursuant to the state and local government conflicts of interest act
in that these following agenda items have been financed or maybe financed by Towne Bank.
That is number nine, Winner's property, 13, Atlantic Development Associates, 16, James D.
White. Some of these will come up later in this meeting. As such I have made this disclosure. I
serve on the Advisory Board for Towne Bank, which makes no loan decisions. And I believe I
can participate fairly and objectively in the public interest. And I will vote on these items.
David Weiner:
Mr. Redmond.

Dave Redmond:
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a disclosure of my own. I have a letter on file with the City
Attorney's office. I have a client in the travel industry and some time ago I disclosed pursuant to
the Conflicts of Interest Act that Mike just mentioned. I am unable to vote on either individual
applications for short term rentals or for any ordinances that apply to short term rentals. So
when I vote on these yeah, on these consent items, I am excluding the short term rental
application from my vote. Thank you. Sounds good.
Jack Wall:

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: 1537, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Modification of Conditions to a
Conditional Use Permit (Private School) for the property located at 1537
Laskin Road (GPIN 2417081031). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
This is a request for a Modification of Conditions to remove 6.63 acres from the
Conditional Use Permit for a Private School. The Friends School, located within
the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area, has been in existence since 1956. Subsequently
in 1996 and 1999, City Council approved expansions of the school. The applicant
is seeking to remove a 6.63-acre parcel in order to construct a five building multi-
family development as a matter of right under the current zoning of A-18 Apartment
District.
• Considerations:
In Staff's view and Planning Commission concurred, the proposal to remove this
property from the previously approved Conditional Use Permit is acceptable. The
Comprehensive Plan for the Hilltop SGA designates this site for institutional use,
specifically for the existing Friends School; however, the proposed use is permitted
by-right with the current zoning designation of A-18 Apartment District. It is also
compatible with the adjacent multi-family uses to the west and east of the site. The
reduction in acreage for the school will not be detrimental to the surrounding
properties as parking can continue to be met on the school site, vehicular access
is not hampered, and the current limit of student enrollment can be accommodated
on the smaller campus. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as
Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known
opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On November 10, 2021, the Planning Commission placed this application on the
consent agenda passing a motion to recommend approval with a vote of 11-0.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Modification of Conditions to remove this property from the previously approved Conditional Use
Permits, in Staff's Opinion, is acceptable.The request is in keeping with the policies and goals set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan for the Hilltop SGA.While the Hilltop SGA designates this property for an institutional use,the
proposed multi-family development is found to be more consistent with the designated zoning of A-18 Apartment
District and is in keeping with the adjacent uses to the west and east of the site. Although the property is located within
the>75 dB DNL noise zone where residential uses are considered incompatible uses,the existing zoning of the property
allows for residential dwelling units at a density of 18 units per acre and, because it is the current zoning of the property,
is permitted to be developed with residential uses.
Staff does not anticipate any negative impacts from a reduction in the property associated with the school,as the
school's enrollment will not increase and all required parking on the site will be met and exceeded by four parking
spaces.
Based on these considerations,Staff is recommending approval of this Modification of Conditions request.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: HACKERS, LLC [Applicant] POTTER PROPERTIES GROUP, LLC [Property
Owner] Conditional Change of Zoning (B-1 Neighborhood Business District
to Conditional B-2 Community Business District) for the property located at
1532 Laskin Road (GPIN 24170912560000). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
LYNN HAVE N
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Rezoning from B-1 Neighborhood
Business District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District to allow for
convert an existing, vacant building into an eating and drinking establishment with
virtual golf simulators. While the restaurant has been able to and could continue to
operate without Planning Commission and City Council consideration, the golf
simulators are considered "Indoor Recreation" by the Zoning Ordinance, which is
not a permitted or a conditional use in the B-1 Zoning District. Thus, a rezoning to
the B-2 District is required. The virtual golf simulator area is below the threshold of
7,500 square feet for a Conditional Use Permit.
A 3,000 square foot addition is proposed for the west side of the structure. The
exterior of the building will undergo a full renovation, including a redesign of the
existing covered drop-off area, with new paint, stucco, and a mixture of metal,
glazing, and wood materials.
There is a legally nonconforming sign on the property that the applicant proposes
to reuse without alteration to its size or height.
• Considerations:
Generally, Staff and the Planning Commission are supportive of this proposal,
which is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and the Hilltop Strategic Growth
Area Plan. The building's age and history as an eating and drinking establishment
make it a good candidate for redevelopment. Planning Commission concurs with
Staff's recommendation that the nonconforming sign on the property should be
removed and replaced with a monument style sign and that all other proposed
signage meet the minimum standards of the Zoning Ordinance. Under current
regulations, the sign is both taller and larger than would be permitted by the Zoning
Ordinance. When a discretionary action is requested, it has been the consistent
practice of the Planning Department to request that nonconforming signs be
replaced with ones that conform to the current standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
Hackers, LLC
Page 2 of 2
Staff was under the impression that the applicant had agreed to remove and
replace the sign but was informed by the applicant's representative on November
9, 2021 that the applicant had reconsidered. The current proffers reflect the
existing nonconforming sign remaining on this site. Further details pertaining to the
application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On November 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 8 to 2.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Rezoning from B-1 Neighborhood Business to Conditional B-2 Community
Business to convert an existing,vacant building into an eating and drinking establishment with virtual golf
simulators. While the restaurant has been and could continue to operate without Planning Commission and City
Council consideration, the golf simulators are considered "Indoor Recreation" by the Zoning Ordinance, which is not
a permitted or a conditional use in the B-1 Zoning District. Thus, a Conditional Rezoning to B-2 is required.
• The 81,202 square foot site is located along Laskin Road, within the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area (SGA), and
adjacent to the the Hilltop East Shopping Center.The property is currently developed with a 10,000 square foot
restaurant building.
• A 3,000 square foot addition is proposed for the west side of the structure. The exterior of the building will undergo
a full renovation, including a redesign of the existing covered drop off area, with new paint, stucco, and a mixture of
metal, glazing, and wood materials.
• The dining area will be approximately 9,143 square feet, with approximately 4,075 square feet dedicated to seven
private golf simulator rooms and one larger VIP golf simulator room.
• A total of 111 parking spaces are required for the proposed uses. There are 131 spaces depicted on the layout plan.
• The site is adjacent to residential uses. However,there is a six-foot tall vegetated berm along the eastern property
line that has created a barrier between the properties, which helps to mitigate potential nuisances such as noise and
light eminating from the subject property.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request to rezone from B-1 Neighborhood Business to Conditional B-2 Business is acceptable. The proposed
redevelopment is compatible with the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area (SGA) Plan,which designates this site as
Hackers, LLC
Agenda Item 14
Page 2
"nonresidential mixed-use." The Comprehensive Plan encourages the redevelopment of outdated commercial
structures; because of the age of the building and its prior history as an eating and drinking establishment, it is a good
candidate for redevelopment and reinvestment. Additionally,the substantial earthen berm along the eastern property
line will continue to provide separation between, and limit potential negative impacts to,the adjacent residential uses.
After consulting with Traffic Engineering,the applicant has proffered a conceptual site plan that reflects the ongoing and
imminent improvements that are planned for the roadway project on Laskin Road.These improvements include closing
one of the curb cuts along Laskin Road, which will reduce potential points of conflict and improve traffic and pedestrian
safety in the area.
There is a legally nonconforming sign on the property. Under current sign regulations, it is both taller and larger than
would be permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. When a dicrestionary action is requested, it has been the consistent
practice of the Planning Department to request that nonconforming signs be replaced with ones that conform to the
current standards of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends that the nonconforming sign on the property be removed
and replaced with a monument style sign and that all other proposed signage also meet the minimum standards of the
Zoning Ordinance. Staff was under the impression that the applicant had agreed to remove and replace the sign; on
November 9, 2021,the applicant's representative informed Staff of their reconsideration.The current proffers reflect
the existing nonconforming sign remaining on this site. In discussion with staff,the applicant has agreed to remove the
nonconforming sign and replace it with one that conforms to the current standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the proffers provided,given
that the nonconforming sign on the property be removed and replaced with a conforming one.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA).The applicant,
consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to
"offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should this application
be approved,the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.

Agenda Item # 14
Hackers, LLC [Applicant]
Potter Properties Group, LLC [Property Owner]
Conditional Rezoning [B1 Business District to Conditional B-2 Business District]
1532 Laskin Road
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Madam Clerk:
Our final agenda item is agenda item 14 Hackers, LLC, an application for a Conditional
Rezoning, B1 Business District to Conditional B-1 Business District on property located at 1532
Laskin Road in the Lynnhaven District.
David Weiner:
Long day. Huh?
Eddie Bourdon:
How're you sir?
Mr. Weiner:
I'm well, thank you for the record.
Eddie Bourdon:
A great day.
Mr. Coston:
We're down to the end.
Eddie Bourdon:
For the record am Eddie Bourdon, Virginia attorney representing Hackers, LLC, on this
Conditional Rezoning application, Mr. Ed one of the principles of the applicant is with us and
has been here for the most of the afternoon, along with Mr. Potter.
Eddie Bourdon:
1
So we had somebody here that Mr. Horsley recognized today whose family owns this property
and has owned this and the surrounding shopping center for longer than I think most of us, if not
all of us have been on this planet. The subject property is zoned B1, it is well buffered from the
residential properties to the east, with a berm and landscaping on that property that was my
understanding was actually put in place by the Potter family decades ago as a part of this
property being rezoned decades ago. They agreed to put the berm and allow it to grow up and
become a great buffer between the two properties.
Eddie Bourdon:
I know you all were anticipating as proffered that the application would be on the Consent
Agenda except the staff is. And I want to thank Hank Morrison and, and Carolyn Smith and the
staff on their work on this application. I heard what was stated this morning in the informal,
passed it on to Mr. Ore, and Mr. Potter, they still want to pursue retaining the existing sign
VDOT with Laskin Road project did not condemn the sign. Did not pay for the sign. But for the
fact that these local investors and that's what this is, not some national franchise. This is, these
are all local investors, local businessmen, but for the fact that they're, they have a concept that
they think will be a winner. And that is the restaurant with the indoor golf simulators on which
you can play every major known golf course in the United States with the exception of Augusta
National, the Home of the Masters, which I personally as an avid golfer and Mr. Garrington and
we're looking forward to this and I think there are a lot of other people who are for playing in bad
weather, indoors, quiet. But, for that, the sign can stay. The restaurant doesn't need the
rezoning. It's just the indoor simulators. And that's just a quirk of our 1973 Zoning Ordinance.
So, they're investing a lot of capital to redo this entire building, revitalize the site and to
purchase the simulators and everything else that goes along with opening this new business.
That's a big risk, it's a big investment and it's a big risk. And unlike Top Golf, their visibility, isn't
quite as good. They don't have a huge fence that you can see for miles around. So being able
to people to know that they're there is important to them. So that's the reason they would like to
keep that visibility. Now maybe at some point that can be removed, but to start that business for
the initial number of years to get, and they've got a long term lease on this property. Again, they
are making a large investment as a long term tenant under a land lease that signs of huge
potential value to them to get that business recognized and understood that it's there. So, that's
the reason they are aware of what normally happens in these circumstances. And I buy some
of what you all had to say this morning. What we would like for you to do is move this onto City
Council with an approval, but you can certainly put on the record and I will let every Council
person know your feelings that the sign needs to be made conforming. If that's what your
feelings are. That's what I heard this morning. I think Council hopefully will have a sympathetic
ear, but one way or the other, they'll be the ones that make the decision, whether the sign
comes down or the sign states. And that's I think all this boils down to based on what I heard
this morning. And so I'll leave it in your hands. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to
answer them. But both the Potter family and my clients, the applicants are both desirous of
trying to keep the sign. Thank you
David Weiner:
2
Any questions from Mr. Bourdon?
Mike Inman
How about to get the sign for two years and then they have to conform?
Eddie Bourdon:
Anything along those lines would be better than not having it.
David Weiner:
This business is going to take off, and once the word spreads. They're not going to need a sign.
You are not going to need a sign.
Mrs. Klein:
It's on Laskin Road.
David Weiner:
What's the traffic count on Laskin? You know what I mean? This is people want, they're going to
want into this place. The site location is huge. You sell beer.
Dee Oliver:
Everybody knows it's been empty for years.
David Weiner:
I know. In my opinion, who wants to get first go, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:
Well, I think what he said, and I sort of said it this morning. I think that's the proper course. I do
not support that sign. I think a monument sign would be more appropriate. I don't think anything
would be served by a recommendation of denial for what is an obviously beneficial
redevelopment. Okay. It's an eyesore of a property today and it's going to be a lot nicer property
and it's not getting past City Council. I know City Council members who watch Planning
Commission. This is the good news. They watch Planning Commission and they read the
transcript. The bad news is the last debate we just had. So they probably saw all that. But I
would say, I think it's for this to be approved by City Council, that non-conforming sign needs to
be removed and replaced with a monument sign. That is my view. Okay. But I don't think any
purpose is served by denying this application. Because it's a very fine redevelopment, but very
3
obviously the applicant doesn't want to, he's not going to take our word for, he's only going to
take City Council's word for it is what I'm reading it to this situation. I let's not make a mountain
out of this because that sign ain't going to be that way. It's just not. So I would urge that we all
do. I'm not going to make a motion right now because other people have.. Dee is shooting
arrows to me as I'm-
Dee Oliver:
I'm not shooting any arrows. I just feel bad because we've already just asked somebody else.
We've just asked them to conform for their application. And they're not a big conglomerate
either. So I just-
David Redmond:
Each application is different-
Dee Oliver:
... I didn't say each application isn't different, but the zoning ordinance sign thing isn't.
David Weiner:
Mr. Graham.
Whitney Graham:
Oh boy, I see this property all the time. And I've had probably a lifetime of sodium at the
Japanese restaurant that used to be there. When my kids were little, glad they're older now.
And that the restaurant's not there, but this is like I said, this morning, this is long overdue. I
think it's a beautiful building. I think it's a fantastic concept. I think it's going to take off. The sign
being there or not being there is not going to affect your business at all. You've got almost
30,000 cars a day going by this. You're close to a couple of golf courses, country clubs. I don't
think you have any problem. I agree with Mr. Redmond and I agree with Mrs. Oliver. I feel like if
we deny this or we recommend for denial that I don't think we're really helping anything. I think
we send it on to City Council, let City Council deal with it. I think that Council they're going to
look at this. I'm going to pick up the telephone. I just don't think that the sign is consistent.
Whitney Graham:
Most of the time, did it earlier today with one of your earlier one of your applicants, actually, we
didn't even have to him to ask him to do it. He removed his pylon sign and did a monument,
over on Holland Road. And your attorney knows that. It does disappoint me that you're not
willing to work with us. But at the same time, I think it's a great a concept. And I will be voting in
support with my suggestion to Council that that pylon sign goes bye-bye.
4
Mrs. Klein:
Right. I cannot in good faith vote for an application that I don't completely support. Although, I
understand exactly what you're saying. We can't rely on City Council. And so I am voting
against the application as it currently stands.
David Weiner:
Okay. Who's else, do you have a motion with a recommendation or however you want to make
a motion, Mr. Redmond?
Mr. Redmond:
I move approval of the application.
Whitney Graham:
I'll second with the recommendation to City Council to remove the sign
David Weiner:
Can you do that? You can't really do that? Look at it'll be on the record on the record. If they
read it
Whitney Graham:
Let the record state that the Plannning Commission has made the suggestion that there by a
monument sign, not a pylon sign.
David Weiner:
Recommendation for approval by Mr. Redmond, the second by Mr. Graham.
Dee Oliver:
What was your motion?
David Redmond:
Approval.
Dee Oliver:
I've got the approval. With?
David Redmond:
There's no such with.
5
George Alcaraz:
Did Mr. Redmond accept that?
David Redmond:
Yeah, I did.
George Alcaraz:
Okay.
Whitney Graham:
It's just a suggestion to the City Council.
Madam Clerk:
Vote is open. By recorded vote of eight in favor two against agenda item number 14 has been
recommended for approval.
Eddie Bourdon:
Thank you all and I will make sure as well that all the Council people are aware of the fact that
you all wanted the signed to be a monument style sign, there won't be as thank you.
David Weiner:
Well, this has been a really interesting day. Do this more often. Any other questions? Concerns
old business. Y'all in the back. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you. All right. We are
adjourned. Yes. All done.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: WINNER'S PROPERTIES, LLC [Applicant] THE RUNNYMEDE
CORPORATION [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicle
Sales & Service) for the property located at 3736 Sentara Way (GPIN
1487428775). COUNCIL DISTRICT — ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit to expand the existing and adjacent
automotive dealership (Checkered Flag) onto this 3.22-acre property within the
Rosemont Strategic Growth Area (SGA).
In 1997, City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for this site to operate an
automotive dealership. A modification in 2013 to that approval resulted in the
removal of this parcel from the dealership, leaving it undeveloped.
Now proposed is a 12,000 square-foot auto sales building to be constructed with
a modern design with glass and aluminum composite panels with vehicle display
areas on the west and rear sides of the building. Enhanced plantings above
minimum requirements include a three-foot high berm and 15-foot wide landscape
buffer, rather than a 10-foot wide planning area, with enhanced Category IV
plantings along Sentara Way.
• Considerations:
Planning Commission concurs with Staff that the request to expand the automotive
dealership onto this property is acceptable. While not consistent with the SGA
Plan's recommendation for office use on this site, the proposed development
corresponds with the existing pattern of development in the area and with the
previous City Council approval. The proposed berm, wide landscape buffer with
enhanced plantings along Sentara Way will help screen the proposed parking and
display areas from the residential dwellings on the south side of Sentara Way.
There are unimproved rights-of-way along the western and northern sides of this
property that are wooded and there are no plans to improve these areas in the
near future. A 25-foot wide wooded buffer will remain that borders the senior
housing facility along the western property line.
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the request with an additional
condition, Condition 12, that emphasizes the existing requirement that rights-of-
way shall not be used as loading and unloading zones, which is noted below with
Winner's Properties, LLC
Page 2 of 3
underline text. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Staff received three letters of opposition. Three speakers voiced opposition at the
Planning Commission public hearing noting concerns related to glare of lighting,
traffic congestion in the rights-of-way, the potential for additional disruptive noise,
the removal of existing mature trees, and the elimination of a bicycle motocross
(BMX) trail, albeit unauthorized. A petition of opposition with 18 signatures was
also provided at the Planning Commission public hearing. City staff inspected the
property and adjacent residential properties and did not find any glare directly
impacting the residential street.
• Recommendation:
On November 10, 2021, the Planning Commission Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a recorded vote of 9-1 .
1. When the property is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the
submitted plan entitled, "Conceptual Site Layout Plan of Checkered Flag
Genesis at Sentara Way", dated September 30, 2021, and prepared by Orbis
Landscape Architecture, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council and is on file in the Department of Planning and Community
Development.
2. Prior to Site Plan approval, a Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the
Department of Planning and Community Development for review and approval.
The Landscape Plan shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted
plan entitled, "Conceptual Site Layout Plan of Checkered Flag Genesis at
Sentara Way", dated September 30, 2021, and prepared by Orbis Landscape
Architecture, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and
is on file in the Department of Planning and Community Development.
Landscape plantings shall be maintained for the duration of the use and shall
be subject to the review and approval of the Development and Service Center.
3. All signage on the site shall meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. A
separate sign permit shall be obtained from the Planning Department for the
installation of any signage.
4. All vehicles for sale or rental shall be located on a paved surface within the
designated display area identified on the plan referenced in Condition 1 above.
No vehicles shall be displayed on raised platforms, earthen berms, landscape
islands, or any other structure designated to display a vehicle higher than the
elevation of the main parking lot.
5. There shall be no storage of tires, merchandise, or debris of any kind outside
of the building.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales and Service on a 3.22-acre parcel zoned B-
2 Community Business District within the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area (SGA).This proposal is an expansion of
the existing dealership operating on the adjacent site.
• In 1997,City Council granted a request to operate an automotive dealership on the adjacent parcel, which included
this parcel for an expanded parking area. A Modifcation to that Conditional Use Permit was granted in 2013 to
update the site layout, which removed this parcel from the dealership and resulted in an update to the building's
design and exterior materials.
• The submitted concept plan shows a 12,000 square foot dealership and parking lot. The proposed building will be
located in close proximity of Sentara Way while the customer and employee parking spaces will be between the
building and Sentara Way. The display areas are proposed to the west of the building, adjacent to the unimproved
Spruce Street, and in the rear of the site. Display areas will be screened by landscape buffers along the western and
southern property lines.
• The renderings on page 7 of this report depicts the building to be of a modern design style with glass and aluminum
composite panels (alucobond).
• The proposed size of the dealership requires 14 parking spaces.The proposal exceeds the parking requirement by
seven spaces.
• The hours of operation will be from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days per week.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff's opinion, the applicant's proposal to expand the use of an automotive dealership(Checkered Flag) onto this
property is acceptable. The Rosemont SGA Plan notes that this site should include a transition from an auto-oriented
retail strip to a mixed-use transit-oriented neighborhood center at higher densities. While the Comprehensive Plan also
Winner's Properties, LLC
Agenda Item 9
Page 2
recommends for office use at this location,the proposed development corresponds with the existing pattern of
development in the area. As mentioned above,this site was designated as parking area for the dealership in the
approved 1997 request. Furthermore,the proposed screening and the conditions as recommended,along with the
existence of an unimproved right-of-way will all assist with minimizing impacts to residential properties in the vicinity.
The Sentara Way Flyover road project is shown on the SGA Plan,the City's Master Transportation Plan,and the VDOT I-
264 Corridor Study project. Preliminary plans show this roadway on portions of this property; however,there is no road
designed,construction timeline,or funding identified for the project at this time. Based on preliminary review,the
proposed building has been placed in a similar location to where the building was shown on the SGA Plan.
The proposed modern style building, lot layout, and landscaping buffer will be complementary the existing dealership.
Consistent with the existing dealership,the three-foot high berm will be extended onto this site along Sentara Way to
help screen the proposed parking and display areas from the adjacent residential dwellings across Sentara Way.A 15-
foot wide landscape buffer with enhanced Category IV plantings will be installed along Sentara Way and a 25-foot wide
natural vegetated buffer will remain along the western property line. In addition,a six-foot tall privacy fence and a four
to five-foot tall black aluminum fence are proposed to enclose the vehicle display area for security purposes.
Staff has determined that the application as presented will result in a reduction in traffic volume when compared to
other uses that potentially could be developed as a matter of right in the B-2 zoning district.
Based on the considerations described,Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions listed below
that are designed to reduce visual and operational impacts to the surrounding residents.
Recommended Conditions
1. When the property is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted plan entitled,
"Conceptual Site Layout Plan of Checkered Flag Genesis at Sentara Way",dated September 30,2021, and prepared

Department of Planning and Community Development.
2. Prior to Site Plan approval,a Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Community

open space,and stormwater management amenities and building fronting the streets with parking properly screened in
the rear. Proposed developments in urban areas should also consider ways to integrate the site and building design
guidelines established in the Special Area Development Guidelines for Urban Areas adopted by reference in the
Comprehensive Plan.

Winner's Properties, LLC [Applicant]
The Runnymede Corporation [Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit [Motor Vehicle Sales & Service]
3736 Sentara Way
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL— HEARD
Madam Clerk:
Our next item of business is agenda item number nine, Winners Properties, LLC. An application
for a Conditional Use Permit, Motor Vehicle Sales and Service, on property located at 3736
Sentara Way in the Beach District.
David Weiner:
Hold on one second.
David Weiner:
For the record, do we need to state that Mr. Horsley's left?
Ms. Wilson:
Has he left for the day? Yeah. We'll put that on the record.
Billy Garrington:
Must be planting season, or harvest.
Dee Oliver:
It is.
David Weiner:
It is. Yeah.
Dee Oliver:
Actually it is. See, that's why he had to go. He's only got so much daylight left.
David Weiner:
1
Yeah. It just makes a difference if he gets home after dark.
Billy Garrington:
Okay. Are we ready to go?
David Weiner:
Yeah. We're ready. I'm sorry. Go ahead. I'm sorry. We're ready.
Billy Garrington:
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen of the Planning Commission, for the record,
Billy Garrington on behalf of the applicant. The applicant in this case is Winner's Property LLC,
which everybody probably by this point knows, is a Checkered Flag Motor Company in the City
of Virginia Beach. Property is known as 3736 Sentara Way. 3.22 acre parcel of land, out in the
Princess Anne borough. If you visited the property, you'd know that it is bordered on the north by
Interstate 264 on the south by Sentara Way, bordered on the east by their Hyundai World
dealership that they already own and on the west is the Sentara Nursing facility. The request that
you have in front of you today is for motor vehicle sales and service on this B2 piece of property
that your staff has looked at.
Billy Garrington:
Staff has recommended us favorably for approval, with the 11 conditions that are in the staff write
up and I'm here to tell you that we are in total agreement with those 11 conditions. Wish I could
sit down now and just leave, but I can't, because we've got opposition to the request that you
have in front of you today.
Billy Garrington:
And I don't want to say anything disparaging about the opposition, but I do want to give you full
disclosure. Someone, and I think it's the people that are here speaking in opposition, have been
utilizing this property for some time now, for a use which your zoning office says is categorized
as a recreational facility of an outdoor nature. That requires a Conditional Use Permit. There has
not been one applied for, or granted for this piece of property. It requires on-site parking, which
there is none, it requires restroom facilities, which it has none and it also requires the permission
of the owner of the property, which has not been granted.
Billy Garrington:
So I am absolutely miffed that I have opposition to this, that is asking you to turn this down and
they even categorized it as an ugly parking lot. Does that look like an ugly parking lot to you?
Looks like something that our city staff and our city would be proud of, because it's economic
development and economic development is what keeps this city viable and what keeps this engine
going. They even talked about the tree removal and the vegetation that was going to happen and
2
I think there was even a hawk's nest that somebody spoke about. Let me tell you, there has
already been a commercial site plan approved for this piece of property, when it was the office
building. We are piggybacking on top of that and using the same stormwater mode that was done
for the office building, so that we didn't have to go back through another stormwater review.
Billy Garrington:
So those trees and the clearing of this property has already been addressed and the previous site
plan review that went through on this piece of property. Basically, if we wanted to go post all the
development bonds that we want and E&S bonds, we could already be clearing the property. But
there is a very nice, what I would say, recreational facility that's on this property, that has been
utilized without anybody from Runnymede giving it their approval. So I'm here to tell you that the
staff write up that you have in front of you, the 11 conditions that are in the staff write up, we're in
total agreement with the request. That's what you're going to have if this thing gets approved and
we're here today to ask for your approval of this use permit and I will try to keep it as brief as I
can, in case there's any rebuttal, but I hope there's not.
David Weiner:
Any questions?
Robyn Klein:
Yes.
Dee Oliver:
I have a question for-
Robyn Klein:
Yeah.
Dee Oliver:
Oh, sorry.
David Weiner:
Go ahead, George.
George Alcaraz:
Mr. Garrington, I was there and I was amazed what I saw too, but just curious, because it's got
some age to it. It's been there a while.
Billy Garrington:
3
I'm sure it has.
George Alcaraz:
I'm just wondering why it hasn't been addressed.
Billy Garrington:
That's a good question.
George Alcaraz:
Okay.
Billy Garrington:
Couldn't tell you. But no, the people at Runnymede say they're not familiar with it.
George Alcaraz:
It looks like someone spent a lot of time and effort.
Billy Garrington:
There is a lot of effort there. Matter of fact, one of the letters of opposition that we got, the person
said that they were mentally involved in this project. How do you get mentally involved in
something that you don't own? You're on somebody else's property. If I'm not mistaken, when I
was growing up, that was called trespassing.
Dee Oliver:
Well, Mr. Garrington, has there been charges pressed against this group of people, just out of
curiosity and why are they-
Billy Garrington:
Not that I'm aware of-
Dee Oliver:
... presenting?
Billy Garrington:
... because Winners has just recently made a purchase of the property for this conditional use
permit. Before it was just whoever was doing the office building, but Winners has just gotten
involved in it, in the last three or four months. But I don't even think-
4
Dee Oliver:
So Winners has just bought the property from...
Billy Garrington:
Pardon?
Dee Oliver:
So who owns the property? Winners now?
Billy Garrington:
Runnymede still owns it and we are the contract purchaser, based upon the use permit getting
approved.
Dee Oliver:
And so what we have is obviously an illegal use on a piece of property where people are
trespassing on.
Billy Garrington:
And I met with your zoning staff this morning and obviously your short staffed, but they didn't even
know anything about it. And they asked me if I wanted to have someone go out there and I said,
"No,that's not what I'm here for." I just wanted to make sure that this was something that required
a conditional use permit under the current zoning, because it is a recreational facility of an outdoor
nature and it requires a use permit.
Dee Oliver:
Well, I'm just not even quite sure why we're listening to them.
David Weiner:
Oh. They have the right to speak.
Dee Oliver:
No.
David Weiner:
They do.
Billy Garrington:
5
I agree.
Dee Oliver:
Okay. All right. I'm with you.
George Alcaraz:
Mr. Chairman, So I grew up in this neighborhood and I'm from there in WW, Windsor Woods and
in the days it was a skate half pipe and all that. We did it in the Woods until it was developed, but
I can see how this just went too far.
Billy Garrington:
But if somebody gets hurt on there, the owner of that property is going to have a liability issue.
George Alcaraz:
I don't understand why it got that far.
Billy Garrington:
Okay. All right.
David Weiner:
Let's listen to the speakers and we'll come back.
Whitney Graham:
I also skateboarded back in Windsor Woods. Everybody did, so anyway, but this is something
different.
Billy Garrington:
I thank you, Mr. Chairman.
David Weiner:
Thank you.
Robyn Klein:
I had a question.
David Weiner:
Sorry, Robyn.
6
Robyn Klein:
Sorry. All right. While I don't condone the trespassing, I'm really turned off by your attitude on
behalf of the applicant regarding this issue and among the letters of opposition, were just the fact
that Winners has not been a good neighbor to the residential housing that's been right there.
They've been parking illegally in the right of way, they've been loading and unloading, there's
trash everywhere, there's lights pointed in the wrong direction. Forget about the trespassing part.
They're not treating the people who are allowed to be there with respect.
Billy Garrington:
Okay. And the one facility, that is there now, is one that was already built when they obtained
ownership of it. If you look at the conditions that are placed upon this one, there are conditions to
make sure that none of that takes place. All the lighting has to be inward, all the landscaping. I'm
not saying that there's a perfect situation out there, because there isn't. But all I'm saying is that
this is a good use for this piece of property.
Robyn Klein:
But your client utilizes that property that's currently developed.
Billy Garrington:
Currently developed or currently undeveloped.
Robyn Klein:
Is it Checkered Flag?
Billy Garrington:
Yes, ma'am.
Robyn Klein:
Okay. So Checkered Flag uses that site and doesn't take good care of it, so even if they build this
beautiful facility, why should I believe that will take any better care than the property that they
already have?
Billy Garrington:
Ma'am, if you drive around the City of Virginia Beach and look at every one of their facilities, don't
just look at the one that you're talking about here. Go look at all the other ones. Look at their
Jaguar, look at their Land Rover, look at their BMW. Look at all of them. Everyone of them are
very well maintained.
7
Robyn Klein:
Right. But those are also on Virginia Beach Boulevard. They don't back up to residences.
Billy Garrington:
All right. And whatever it is that you say is not taking place here and I will be willing to tell you that
when I see Mr. Snyder on Friday morning, I will bring what you said to me to his attention and I
think that he will give it his attention.
Robyn Klein:
I believe that you will. I don't believe that he will take it seriously, but that is my opinion.
Billy Garrington:
Ma'am, I think he will take it seriously.
Robyn Klein:
Okay.
Billy Garrington:
He's a resident. He's a lifelong resident and believe me, I think that if I tell him what you said, I
think it will resonate with him.
Robyn Klein:
So why is he not currently invested in what's going on in the property?
Billy Garrington:
Ma'am, that's a good question. He's got a lot of dealerships and a lot going on, but I will make
sure that what you said gets straight to his attention.
Robyn Klein:
Okay.
Jack Wall:
Can I... I do have a question, Mr. Garrington. So it's obviously car sales. Is it connected to the
adjacent car sales?
Billy Garrington:
No, sir.
8
Jack Wall:
So it's completely independent for selling vehicles, but that's out of the way. Sentara Way, it's a
dead end street. You're not really visible from anywhere. Usually you see in car sales, they're in
heavily trafficked roadways. So my question is why is it so tucked away, that no one can see it?
Sentara Way's going to be... It's a terminal end. At this point, there's no plans to connect Sentara
way to Butternut Lane, on the other side of the interstate. And what I'm getting at is to preserve
the viewshed, it's not necessarily to preserve the viewshed, but there are no plans to request or
declare the trees between the property and the interstate.
Billy Garrington:
No, sir.
Jack Wall:
So why?
Billy Garrington:
Have you driven down the Boulevard lately and looked at how developed it is?
Jack Wall:
It's not the Boulevard. It's just Sentara Way.
David Redmond:
What you're saying is are there any alternatives sites?
Jack Wall:
No, not necessarily alternative sites. I just want to make sure that tree stand's going to be
preserved.
Billy Garrington:
And that's on the BMP and that will be taken care of in the site plan review. And again, you're
talking about a Genesis product here. You're talking about something that you could put it on
Holland Road if you wanted to and the people are going to find where the dealership is at. It's
like Tesla. And I don't mean to sit here and give any other brand any more verification than they
need, but the people, when you build it, they will know where it's at.
Jack Wall:
They'll know where it's at. Okay. Okay. All right.
9
David Weiner:
Let's listen to the speakers and we'll go back to you, Mr. Garrington. Thank you.
Madam Clerk:
Mr. Chair, we have three speakers in total. Peter Burning, followed by Bill Brazier and then Connor
Clifton.
David Weiner:
Welcome, sir.
Peter Burning:
Good afternoon. My name for the record's Peter Burning. I am speaking in opposition to this plan.
I'm not part of the wooded recreational area. I've lived across the street from this dealership for
about 20 years and I have two good reasons I think why you should vote against this permit.
Firstly, the staff report recommends approval. It doesn't really tell you the whole story. The
adjacent properties include my neighborhood, Windsor Woods, as well as the Rosemont Nursing
Home, no longer owned by Sentara. The removal of these three acres of mature woodland will
open a new noise vector, straight from the interstate into our neighborhood, as well as the nursing
home. The submitted plan has no noise abatement measures and the staff report doesn't take
any of these impacts into account. At the very least, they should conduct a more thorough study
before resubmitting the request. The lighting levels expected from this expansion will make light
intrusion into our neighborhood worse.
Peter Burning:
High ceilings. The full glass windows will just direct unshielded lighting directly into the backs of
our homes and into our bedrooms. The ceiling heights effectively allow them to get around the 14
foot lighting fixture limitation on the outdoor lighting. These lights will shine directly into our homes.
The plan doesn't provide for any off-street loading and unloading areas. The Checkered Flag
dealership next door uses the street to offload the car carriers, all hours, day and night. And
Checkered Flag is a known poor neighbor. They're noisy, they create more litter and the lighting
just is very annoying in our neighborhood. They've even created their own no parking zone. They
installed their own no parking sign to create a loading zone there on Sentara Way.
Peter Burning:
The current light fixtures they use exceed code limits and shine directly into our homes, especially
when the leaves come down in the fall. Dealership employees use Sentara Way for their parking,
leaving lots of personal and dealership litter there on the street and they even sometimes store
dealership vehicles on the public right of way. So I think the Commission disprove this request, if
not delay for another time. The bottom line is that none of you would want to live next to a
Checkered Flag dealership like we have for the last 20 years and don't think they should be
10
allowed to expand, until they can prove that they can be a good neighbor. Thank you. And
pending any questions that might come up. Yes?
Robyn Klein:
Before the Checkered Flag, was it Driver's World-
Peter Burning:
Yes.
Robyn Klein:
... in there?And that was owned by someone different?
Peter Burning:
I think it's owned by the same.
Robyn Klein:
Is it? Have you noticed any difference?
Peter Burning:
No change at all.
Robyn Klein:
No change?
Peter Burning:
Actually, it's gotten worse. They changed out light fixtures from regular incandescent bulbs into
the bright LED. There's no shielding, the light shines straight into our homes every night.
Robyn Klein:
Really?
Peter Burning:
Yeah.
Robyn Klein:
Thank you.
11
Peter Burning:
Yeah. So I think any investigation that was done by the staff is probably done during the daytime,
so you can't get a complete picture till you come there at night, as well as noise. I recommend a
Friday or Saturday night when the interstate traffic is at it's worst.
David Weiner:
Okay. Thank you.
Peter Burning:
Yes, sir?
Jack Wall:
So where do you live? Do you live on Presidential Boulevard?
Peter Burning:
Presidential Boulevard.
Jack Wall:
Presidential Boulevard.
Peter Burning:
Right across the street, 104.
Dee Oliver:
There's a pointer right there, if you...
David Weiner:
All right. Any more questions?
Peter Burning:
Thank you, sir.
David Weiner:
Yes. Thanks.
Madam Clerk:
12
Bill Brazier, followed by Connor Clifton.
Bill Brazier:
Good afternoon. Thank you for allowing me the chance to be here and speak our concerns. My
name is Bill Brazier. We are here today with the utmost respect for the property owner, the
interested parties in the community surrounding this parcel. We're a group of Virginia Beach
natives who love this city and want to stay here. We are a part of a community of bicycle
enthusiasts. We regularly enjoy the skate parks that the city has graced with in the past decade.
Thank you for your support in that and we hope that your understanding of a need for that in our
community, will allow you to consider understanding a need for this place to remain as it is in our
community, to continue.
Bill Brazier:
We're a particular part of cycling enthusiasts known as BMX enthusiasts, who take part in
designing, building and riding dirt jumps, or as we call them, trails. The property at 3736 Sentara
Way has been home to a set of BMX trails for at least 20 years, just to my knowledge. Maybe
even longer.
Bill Brazier:
There have been different groups of riders creating trails at this location over the years, not all of
which we are familiar with. In 2016, these trails began to be rebuilt and have since created a
strong community of peers that promotes friendship, kindness and a brotherhood, sisterhood that
is not found at the skate park. Above all else,these trails take hard work and dedication, requiring
long hours of hard labor. Every time these trails are ridden, there is time spent preparing and
dialing and the work never ends. It is a labor of love. We have spent years dedicating our time to
building and refining these trails and have reaped the rewards of seeing other riders come out
and enjoy the spot. Countless smiles, hoots and hollers. Friendships created have shown us that
all of our hard work is well worth it. And that these efforts are about much more than our
enjoyment. Hard work has proven to be about creating a place for younger riders to find hope and
then avenue to pursue a passion outside of team sports or the skate park.
Bill Brazier:
Our community has tripled in size in the past three years. We have seen riders from across the
country, international professionals, as well as our hometown BMX Olympian all ride at these
trails.
Bill Brazier:
We have been motivated by the intense amount of gratitude and appreciation shown by every
rider that enters these woods. When a young rider has helped us to create an obstacle that they
have fun riding, it is an entirely different level of accomplishment than clearing the same obstacle
at the skate park.
13
Bill Brazier:
Needless to say, we are somewhat heartbroken to see that this hearing is to determine whether
this parcel will remain as it is or become yet another auto dealership. Do you guys know off the
top of your head how many dealerships we have in Virginia Beach? It's got to be like a hundred
or something, right? It's a lot.
Bill Brazier:
Please know that we are also humbly aware of the fact that this is private property and we are
really the public here pleading our concern. If this parcel can remain as it is, then it will continue
to produce smiles, be a place to forge friendships, make memories and inspire the youth.
Bill Brazier:
The place is also a vibrant area with green area within the city, and is host to abundant wildlife,
including yes, Redhawks. We absolutely cherish the space and would love to see it go. But again,
we are understanding of our limited position in this situation. If there may be any way the trails
can remain, it would be endlessly indebted to your assistance and graciousness. I appreciate your
time.
David Weiner:
Thank you, sir. Any questions?
Oliver:
I do.
David Weiner:
Okay.
Oliver:
Mr. Brazen, and as much as I appreciate the recreation that you all are using on this piece of
property. You do understand one thing. It doesn't belong to you. You need more than my children
coming onto your piece of property and setting up whatever recreation they would like to do.
Bill Brazier:
Absolutely.
Oliver:
It's not yours to use nor is it anybody else's. It's illegal and it's against the law and bottom line.
That's what it is. If you all would, and I'm not saying you shouldn't have some sort of park like that,
14
then I suggest if you've put as much hard work and dedication into building this park, which all
these men evidently think are great.
Oliver:
Which I'm sure I would, if I did that myself, but it's not a sport I'm going to take on. Then I suggest
you purchase a piece of property, go through the proper channels, get it zoned and build a park.
It's not saying you can't, you just can't do it here.
Bill Brazier:
Absolutely. And I totally understand.
Oliver:
And truly this is, I understand that you would love to have this piece of property. I'm just so
disappointed that you all are doing this illegally. Regardless of whether this is a 7-11 or another
park or a preschool or whatever this piece of property is developed into. You don't have the right
to do this. And as a citizen of this city, you should be very proud of it and uphold these laws.
Bill Brazier:
Absolutely. And I come here with the outmost respect.
Oliver:
Do your parents know you're doing this?
Bill Brazier:
Absolutely. I do want to be clear that I've never seen a no trespassing sign on this property. And
these were not created by us. These have been here long before us.
Oliver:
Because, and I'm having a real problem with this
Bill Brazier:
I'm 31 years old,' have a son now and I actually am a property owner in Chesapeake as well.
Robyn Klein:
How are they supposed to know?
Oliver:
Because they don't own the property. That's how they're supposed to know.
15
Robyn Klein:
But how do they know it's not public like city?
Dee Oliver:
Oh, he's 31 years old come on.
Robyn Klein:
I wouldn't, I don't know that every-
David Weiner:
Hey, hey, hey come on! Let's go, let's go.
Dee Oliver:
I'm not going back into that.
Bill Brazier:
No, I absolutely understand your concerns. And I appreciate you listening to us today.
Oliver:
I would suggest that you all go in and find a piece of property and do it.
Bill Brazier:
And that we are absolutely planning on attempting to do that. I'm a property owner now in
Chesapeake. And I do intend to do that one day. I fully respect the laws and understand the
frustrations that some may feel about this.
David Weiner:
Thank you for your comments. I do appreciate it.
George Alcaraz:
I want to say. Well, Mr. Grays, and I'd like to get with you, because I'd like to advocate to find a
place for you. Okay?
Dee Oliver:
There you go.
Bill Brazier:
16
Absolutely. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
David Weiner:
Okay Thank you sir.
Bill Brazier:
Thank you for your time.
David Weiner:
Next speaker.
Madam Clerk:
Our final speaker is Connor Clifton.
David Weiner:
Connor. You sure you want to come up here?
Connor Clifton:
Yeah, I'm fine.
David Weiner:
I'm just messing.
Connor Clifton:
I'm the reason why this place is here, man.
David Weiner:
I'm just messing with you.
Connor Clifton:
I mean, I'm the reason why this place is here man. I have a key. You are not allowed to ride this
place unless I am there.
Oliver:
Which is not yours.
Connor Clifton:
17
I know that. We have nowhere else to go. We got ran out of Ipswitch in Chesapeake. They told
us we weren't allowed to dig. We weren't allowed to have what we wanted to have there. We got
ran out, man. I am my only child. My father passed away in 2009.
Connor Clifton:
I have been hanging out in these woods since 2004. My mom has been dropping me off in these
woods to hang out. I've never seen this person. I've never seen Runneymede. I've never seen
anybody from Hyundai, Car World, Drivers World. I've never seen any of these people. There's
never been a no trespassing sign.
Connor Clifton:
I have literally up until this we've really had no idea what was going on with the property. Nobody
shows up, we take care of it. We have trash cans there that are chained to trees. We take care of
the street. The neighbors that are here with us.
Connor Clifton:
In support of us. It's a very touchy subject, man, because it's all my work. If these guys come ride
it and yes they do help. But I'm the one that is there in the rain, the snow year round taking care
of this property. I mean it's not mine. And so what's the reason it's for this right here. There is
humanity and people have a heart.
Oliver:
I'm not saying you don't have a heart and I'm not saying that you-
Connor Clifton:
I know I have a heart.
Oliver:
We all do. And we are compassionate and we are sympathetic to your desire to have some place
to go and to do this. Again, it's not your piece of property.
Connor Clifton:
I understand that. You all have property that runs across the back and so does somebody else.
The whole beginning of this whole meeting was about storm water drainage. That runs right down
the back of this property.
David Weiner:
Hold on a second. Listen, what it boils down to is there was no trespassing signs there. Nobody
ever kicked you out. Okay. So I understand where you're coming from.
18
Connor Clifton:
Yeah. There's never been nobody that told us to not be there-
David Weiner:
But unfortunately it's time to develop it. Okay? Nobody can do anything about that. You don't own
the property. So it has to go.
Connor Clifton:
Okay. That's why we're here, but just trying to get some closure.
David Weiner:
Okay. That's fine.
Connor Clifton:
I always knew this day would come.
David Weiner:
I feel sorry for you. I really do because you're out there in the-
Connor Clifton:
I mean, we don't have money, like car dealerships to buy property dude, I make $20 an hour.
These guys all make 20 hours an hour, man. What we got to do? Work the rest 20 years of our
lives when we're 45, 50 years old. And then we can buy piece the property to do this.
David Weiner:
Understand-
Connor Clifton:
... You know what I mean? Like that's kind of a fucking joke.
Dee Oliver:
Whoa!
Connor Clifton:
I'm sorry.
Oliver:
19
Whoa! All right.
David Weiner:
Easy, easy. All right, we had enough. Thank you very much. Have a good day. Okay You sure
want to come up here Mr. Garrington?
Billy Garrington:
I want to answer one question the business client had. When it was Driver's World that was not
built by the Snyders. They were acquired that later on. So, that's a dealership that was built many
years before that they have acquired. This plan will go through site plan review. We will look at
the light fixtures to make sure that they're low enough, that they're not lighting up the adjoining
properties. We will look at any way we can to make sure that there's no on street offloading of
the vehicles. When they come in there, we can take a look at all that. But some of the things that's
taking place at the old one, that horse is out of the barn.
Robyn Klein:
Right. When you move into property.
Billy Garrington:
That's right but I want to make sure, and I will make sure that Mr. Snyder hears exactly what you
had to say about being a good neighbor, because it is about being a good neighbor. It's about
them being a good neighbor and about us being a good neighbor. But when you are on somebody
else's property and you don't have permission to do so that's bad. So there are 11 conditions in
the staff write up we're in total agreement with all 11 other conditions. We're here today to ask for
your approval.
David Weier:
Any questions, Mr. Redmond?
Mr. Redmond:
Couple of things. For first off, I'd like to just have everybody focus on the application.
David Weier:
Exactly.
Mr. Redmond:
Okay. Let's talk about the application. I will say one thing, the gentleman who spoke first, who
was a neighbor, I thought made some very challenging questions. And I don't accept that, well,
that's a different reason property and this is property it's this is the applicant who he says is
20
causing a disturbance in a number of ways that I think I hope anyway, Ms. Smith and the rest of
the staff are here. That we're going to look into. I'm half inclined to want to defer this application
based on what he said. So I do not accept Mr. Garrington that, "Oh, that's a different one. This is
a new one. So it's all said and done." It doesn't work that way in my view. So, I do think those are
issues that have to be addressed.
Mr. Redmond:
Now to the gentleman who I can't find where you are, but to the gentleman who spoke,who is the
neighbor this does have the requisite conditions that say lighting has to be shielded and pointed
down and all of those sorts of things, but all that stuff doesn't work if you actually follow it.
Mr. Redmond:
Right. I think those are very legitimate concerns and they apply to this application, not to
something that is in the past, because this is the performance, and the behavior of the application
on an adjacent property. And that to me is quite relevant. So I'd like to see that there's some
attention made to that and perhaps greater than just saying I've got a meeting on Friday.
Billy Garrington:
Well. The only thing I can do is that's the next time I will be in touch with him and I'm going to
make sure that all of these issues get brought to his attention.
Mr. Coston:
Mr. Redmond, I somewhat agree with you, but I expected the gentleman when he told me where
he lived. I expected his house to be on the street, his backyard to be on that street there. And
he's on the other side of the street with a whole row of houses between himself and the property
that we're talking about.
David Weiner:
Any other questions? Thank you, Mr. Garrington. Going to close this and open it up, and is this
the beach area, George?
Jack Wall:
No it's Rose Hall.
David Weiner:
Right. Beach goes up so far can't tell where it goes. Okay Jack, it's you?
Mr. Jack Wall:
21
Well, first of all, it's more about does it meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan? This
is not a rezoning. It is a Conditional Use Permit for an Automobile Sales facility. In terms of
Rosemont Strategic Growth Area, they're just a layout. It's not an office development that
potentially was what was intended and in the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area plan, but it's
similar.
Mr. Jack Wall:
The parking is similar, it's got a central structure that would be some similar to what would've been
there otherwise. I feel that it generally meets the intent of the Strategic Growth Area. Future plans
for a flyover are there, but there's nothing concrete and nothing set for flyover and connection of
Sentara Way to Butternut Lane at this point.
Mr. Jack Wall:
Fears that they can't touch the buffer of trees between the interstate and the property that will
hopefully help mitigate the noise vector, as mentioned by the first person who spoke on the lights.
David Redmond mentioned that per the guidance that they should be shielded downward and not
reflect into the neighborhood, it is a beau colic setting back there, there's a lot of material
landscaping, which will remain a berm, which will be in place landscaping, hopefully similar to
what's there for the Checkered Flag car facility which will be installed. So I support it. It's sad to
see a community amenity, whether it's legal or illegal. It is a vibrant green area, which, you really
can't have enough of, but yep.
Michael A Inman:
I'm making a motion to approve the application. This, it has lots of this conditions are, are loaded
pretty well with restrictions on noise, visibility, aesthetics for an auto dealership. But when they
comply with all those conditions in the normal fashion, that Checker Fag usually takes care of
things, I think it will be fine. And it is zone B2 by the way. So it's zone for business and I think this
works.
Mr. Redmond:
Second. I would like to mention one thing, because somebody raised it earlier and that was why
would you have this parcel as opposed to being up on the Boulevard because it's adjacent to a
dealership that this ownership owns. So it certainly makes sense for them to have a consolidated
larger campus of that kind of thing. Not everything has to be up on Virginia Beach Boulevard
necessarily to be successful. That's the point.
David Weiner:
We have a motion by Mr. Inman for approval, second by Mr. Redmond-
Mrs. Klein:
22
Wait comment.
Robyn Klein:
Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't see you.
Mrs. Klein:
So I don't intend on supporting the application, but I would ask that there be a condition added
that clearly articulates that loading and unloading and of vehicles in the public right of way is
prohibited. So that then if the neighbors see that happening, they can then call the Zoning Office.
David Weiner:
We good? We good? Did we catch that?
Carolyn Smith:
Yes, sir. Thank you.
David Weiner:
We're good. Okay. So approval by Mr. Inman second by Mr. Redmond and Modify Condition by

To: City of Virginia Beach Planning Commission
From: Peter R. Berning, 104 Presidential Blvd.,Virginia Beach,VA, 23452 (Windsor Woods)
Date: November 9, 2021
Subject: Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicle Sales &Service)for Winner's Properties, LLC.
I request the Planning Commission accept the following information before deciding on the Conditional
Use Permit(Motor Vehicle Sales&Service)for Winner's Properties, LLC.
Below are two reasons the Planning Commission should vote to DISAPPROVE this proposal.
lial The Staff Report Insufficiently Describes Impacts To Adjacent Properties
The staff report in support of the applicant's proposal insufficiently describes the impacts on
the adjacent properties that include a residential neighborhood (Windsor Woods)and nursing
home (Rosemont Health and Rehab).
Specifically:
1. Noise Levels:
a. The report does not mention the impact of increased traffic noise from the
adjacent highway when 3 acres of mature trees are removed from the property
and replaced with hard and reflective surfaces(pavement, buildings,etc.).
b. This proposal provides no noise abatement measures to make up for the loss of
the trees and buffer zone.
c. The dilapidated and falling sound barrier(6ft wood fencing)along the south side
of 1-264 ends just to the west of this property and the sound mitigation of the
wooded area will be lost without any planned replacement. (Fig. 1&2)
2. Lighting Levels:
a. The modern design of the planned structure will increase light pollution.
b. Two-story,floor to ceiling windows with bright LED ceiling lights will shine directly
into adjacent properties and homes. The height of the ceilings will exceed the
height of allowed for outdoor light fixtures(14 ft).
3. Loading Zone:
a. The proposal does not provide for a vehicle carrier loading and unloading zone.
b. The dealership currently uses the public right of way for these operations in an
area marked with NO PARKING signage(likely dealership installed). (Fig. 8&9)
I recommend that the Planning Commission staff conduct further investigation into the impacts
of this proposal to include noise surveys, lighting designs,code compliance, and site visits during
nighttime and during vehicle loading and unloading operations. Until this is complete, I do not
see how the Commission can make a fully informed decision to approve.

Checkered Flag Itaiiiiikiebor- Jouldn't wig&Lo Live Ilikkoor
Checkered Flag Hyundai is not a good neighbor. Living near this dealership (and its
predecessor—Driver's World)for over 20 years,the homeowners on Presidential Blvd must
deal with the following issues on a continuing basis:
1. Loading Operations:
a. Occurs on a public street at all hours of day and night. It appears that the
dealership put up their own NO PARKING sign on Sentara Way to create a de
facto loading zone for their private use. This sign is missing the city sticker on the
back (all the other signs on Sentara Way have this sticker). (Fig. 8& 9)
2. Outdoor Lighting:
a. Lighting is not shielded to direct light and glare onto their own premises. The
homes on the other side of Sentara Way receive a lot of direct lighting and glare.
All their lighting fixtures exceed the code limits of fourteen (14)feet. Their
current lighting was originally "grandfathered" but has recently been replaced
with brighter LED lights above the code height limitations. (Fig. 3, 4, & 5)
b. Lighting issues worsen in winter months after trees lose their leaves.
3. General Noise Levels:
a. Open maintenance bays pointed at the neighborhood where we can often hear
industrial work being done on vehicles including the operating of air guns and
other equipment.
b. In April of 2018,the dealership was expanding their buildings and repeated
violated the noise ordinance by producing construction noise during evening
hours past 10:30 pm. The city had to send an inspector to the dealership to
remind them to not create noise outside of the approved time frames (7 pm to 9
pm). Emails exchanged with Nancy Bloom (Assistant to the City Manager).
c. Car wash blowers located on the neighborhood side of the building. Vehicles
exiting the wash are blown dry. The noise of the blowers is outdoors and pointed
at the adjacent properties.
a. Alarms and external speaker systems are a constant nuisance day and night.
4. Litter and Employee Parking:
a. Dealership vehicles are often stored on Sentara Way . (Fig. 6)
b. Dealership employees park on Sentara Way and often litter. (Fig. 7)
I recommend that the Planning Commission staff conduct disapprove the proposal until
Checkered Flag can demonstrate on a consistent basis that they are committed to being good
neighbors to the residents of Windsor Woods and the Rosemont Health and Rehab center while
adhering to city ordinances.

Figure 2 Eastern end of outdated"sound barrier"1-264 looking south toward Windsor Woods
This"sound barrier" is dilapidated and falling down in some sections. It and the single line of trees
provides little to no noise abatement for Windsor Woods residents. The city should consider installing
adequate abatement structures here and in proximity to the proposed expansion.
Removing the wooded area will open a noise vector directly into a residential area.
This section of 1-264 is a known straight where some drivers use excessive speed and noise generating
vehicles to race and violate noise ordinances (appears to be minimal law enforcement in this area).

PETITION
To the Virginia Beach Planning Commission
We, the undersigned residents of the Presidential Blvd and Bentley Gate
Way in Windsor Forest petition the VB Planning Commission and ask that
(Conditional Use Permit be denied for car sales dealership and service
facility for Winner's Properties, LLC(Applicant) and The Runnymeade
Corporation (Property Owner).
Address:3736 Sentara Way
GPIN(s): 1487428775
Council District: Beach
Accela Record:2o21-PCCC-oo220
The residents of Windsor Forest do not want any more
commercial development adjacent to our neighborhood.
The wooded lot benefits our neighborhood in many ways such as:
1. Serves as a noise buffer from I-264
2. The woods naturally reduce rainwater runoff into drainage canals
3. The wildlife (raptors and foxes) living in the woods provided natural
rodent mitigation in the surrounding area
4. Bird sanctuary for several species
5. The natural beauty of the woods provides curb appeal as you enter our
cul-de-sacs
Developing this land will:
1. Decrease the value of our homes
2. Increase noise from the car repair facility and I-264
3. Increase light pollution
4. Increase traffic on Rosemont Road
5. Reduce the tree canopy of Virginia Beach, which is in direct conflict with
VB City Council's goal of increasing tree canopy to 45% (referencing
TreeTopia event at Mount Trashmore)
6. Increase noise at Rosemont Health and Rehabilitation facility next door
to the proposed site

AGENDA ITEM ,/
ITEM: JAMES D. WHITE REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST [Applicant & Property
Owner] Conditional Use Permit(Short Term Rental)for the property located
at 407 18th Street, Unit A (GPIN 24270763310001). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
BEACH
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
The applicant is requesting to operate a three-bedroom Short Term Rental unit
located at 407 18th Street, Unit A. The 11,124 square foot site is within the
boundaries of the Oceanfront Resort Short Term Rental (OR STR) Overlay District
and is zoned Oceanfront Resort (OR). The property contains four dwelling units,
one of which received a Conditional Use Permit for a four-bedroom Short Term
Rental in 2020 (Unit D). The minimum number of parking spaces required for a
Short Term Rental is one per bedroom, or three spaces in this instance.
• Considerations:
The site is located within the ViBe Creative District, which includes a myriad of
commercial and residential uses with an emphasis on arts and culture. In addition,
the property is within four blocks of the public beach of the Atlantic Ocean. The
applicant's parking plan depicts one required off-street parking space inside of the
unit's two-car garage, and the two additional required parking spaces will be leased
off site at 335 Virginia Beach Blvd, approximately 515 feet from subject parcel. As
permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable. In addition, the
requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term
Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report.
The applicant received three letters of support from the owners of the three other
units on the property. There is no known opposition to this request.
• Recommendation:
On November 10, 2021 , the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 10-0, with 1 abstention.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request for a three-bedroom short term rental is acceptable.There are two driveways, one running along each
shared property line with the adjacent sites. Units A and D share one driveway, while Units B and C share the other
driveway. Since the driveway is shared by two units, no parking on the driveway by the occupants of Unit A is permitted
as it would block full driveway access to Unit D.The applicant has submitted a parking plan that depicts one parking
space provided for Unit A on-site in the two-car garage, as permitted per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance. As a
minimum of three parking spaces are required,the applicant also submitted proof of a parking agreement with the
property owner of 335 Virginia Beach Boulevard to lease two parking spaces, thus ensuring that the parking requirement
is met.

Agenda Item 16

As allowed under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance,the Zoning Administrator reviewed and approved the use of
the two-car garage for one of the three required off-street parking spaces as well as the applicant's proposal to lease the
remaining two parking spaces from the property owner of 335 Virginia Beach Boulevard.Thus,the requirements of
Section 241.2 and Sections 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating Short-Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the
applicant. As the proposed Short Term Rental use is within the boundaries of the Residential Parking Permit Program
(RPPP)where parking is limited, a condition is recommended to limit the number of guest and temporary passes while
the Conditional Use Permit is active.This program was established to ensure the protection of stable residential
neighborhoods while addressing the need for employee parking for businesses at the oceanfront.
Three letters of support have been received from the property owners of the other three units within the multi-family
building. Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed
below.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this on behalf of myself,as Trustee of the Joshua and Kimberly Coe Joint Revocable Trust,which owns 407 18th Street,Unit D,and
as President of the 18th Street Condominium Association. In both capacity as an owner and as president of the condo association,I give full
consent and encouragement for Mr.White's unit,407 18th Street,Unit A,to function has a short-term rental.
As the City of Virginia Beach is aware,this unit is located in the center of commercial activity("the Vibe District"),and further,it is located in a
proposed overlay district that will presumably allow short term rentals. Also,the project that city has championed and authorized funding, the
Dome Project is located one-half(1/2)block from these units. The Dome project will have a tremendous positive impact on our city;however,
such project will make long-term rentals less than ideal at our location. Therefore,the logical and sensible solution for the City of Virginia Beach
is to grant Mr.White's request and issue a Conditional Use Permit for 407 18th Street,Unit A,to function as a short term rental.
Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding this.
All my best,

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT AND AMEND INTO THE VIRGINIA BEACH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2016 THE STORMWATER IMPACTS FOR
DISCRETIONARY LAND USE APPLICATIONS
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
In support of the Stormwater Bond Referendum (Referendum) on the November
ballot, City Council passed a resolution on September 7, 2021, that outlined
specific commitments to ensure swift action following approval of the referendum
question. One such commitment is the delivery to the Planning Commission and
City Council an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) related
to stormwater discharge associated with discretionary land use applications.
As the citizens of Virginia Beach passed the Referendum on November 2, 2021,
an amendment to the Comp Plan was drafted and subsequently considered by the
Planning Commission on November 10, 2021 . The amendment affirms City
Council's intention to require all rezoning applications regardless of the location
within the city be required to demonstrate no impact or increase in demand on the
public stormwater system.
• Considerations:
A stormwater regulation workgroup with membership of City Council liaisons, City
Staff, professional consulting engineers, and representatives of the development
community have been discussing a variety of stormwater issues facing the city.
One such issue is the contents of a preliminary stormwater study.
Currently, the Comp Plan recommends applications within the Southern Rivers
Watershed and in areas of known flooding submit a preliminary stormwater study.
The proposed Comp Plan amendment would require rezoning applications
(including conditional rezonings) for properties throughout all of Virginia Beach to
include a preliminary stormwater study, while all other discretionary applications
such as Conditional Use Permits would be exempt.
While this change would seem to increase the burden on applicants, the
stormwater regulation workgroup has been working on proposed changes to the
study submittal requirements whereby if an applicant voluntarily submits a proffer
that the project will abide by all state and local regulations and commits that there
will be no impacts upstream or downstream, then a more simplistic version of the
City of Virginia Beach — Comp Plan Amendment
Page 2 of 2
study could be submitted to ensure stormwater facilities have been sized
appropriately. Contrarily, if an applicant opts out of submitting such a proffer, then
the applicant would need to submit a more detailed analysis that would likely
include stormwater modeling to demonstrate no impact to the stormwater
infrastructure upstream and downstream for staff to consider a positive
recommendation of the application.
The stormwater regulation workgroup is continuing its effort to refine the
requirements for the analyses. These requirements are noted in an internal policy
document rather than codified in City ordinances or within the Comp Plan. Based
on this, changes to these submittal requirements can be made quickly and do not
require City Council consideration or action.
There was one speaker in opposition who expressed concern that expanding the
requirement for a stormwater analysis for all rezonings throughout the city, rather
than generally just within the Southern Rivers Watershed, could lengthen the
discretionary application process. The speaker encouraged changes include Staff
having the ability to use discretion, and that the workgroup find a more balanced
and less prohibitive approach.
The Planning Commission, while supportive of the concept within the Comp Plan
amendment, voted 11-0 to deny the resolution as they believe that additional input
from stakeholders is warranted.
• Recommendation:
On November 10, 2021, the Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded
vote of 11-0 to recommend denial of this request.
• Attachments:

be taken to ensure consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Regional Hazard
Mitigation Plan,especially related to strategies to mitigate recurrent flooding and sea level rise.
Recommended Policies: Sea Level Rise,Recurrent Flooding,and Hazard Mitigation
• Concentrate new development at higher elevations outside special flood hazard areas.
• Use alternative construction techniques to minimize fill in the Floodplain Subject to Special
Restrictions.
• Wherever possible in the development approval process,avoid developing inside special flood
hazard areas,especially in the Southern Watershed Area,which is characterized by limited relief
and a minimal hydraulic gradient.
Agenda for Future Action Recommendations:Sea Level Rise,Recurrent Flooding,and
Hazard Mitigation
• Develop a program to educate the public on the beneficial functions and values of
floodplains.
• Implement the findings and recommendations of the Sea Level Wise Response Strategy.
• Preserve and enhance beaches and dunes along the City's Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake
Bay shorelines.
• Implement the recommendations of the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
LAND DEVELOPMENT AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Land is a precious resource,limited in amount,highly valued and often exploited,a commodity that
is constantly being sold,developed,or redeveloped. As the City matures,its land inventory
becomes even scarcer.Management of land in its natural state demands that we employ wise
management and stewardship practices to safeguard the City's natural heritage.Similarly,
developed land should be used in a sustainable manner so that its value to present and future
generations is maintained or enhanced.On November 2.2021.the citizens of Virginia Beachpassed
a bond referendum to initiate a comprehensive financial plan to pay for the debt related to
significant City-wide stormwater altEfl flood control projects.The goal of these
projects is to provide for the long-term flood mitigation needs of the City.
Based on the resolution passed by City Council on September 7.2021.it is the intent of City Council
to require all rezoning and conditional rezoning requests have no impact on the current and
planned future stormwater infrastructure that will help protect the City from recurrent flooding
and sea level rise.Similar to the current policy for the Southern Watershed.all rezoning and
conditional rezoning applications must-pc-eve demonstrate by providing a preliminary stormwater
analysis no impact to the stormwater infrastructure upstream and downstream and this
information shall be provided,amongst other planning considerations,to obtain a positive
recommendation from staff.

Southern Watershed Subject to"Special Drainage Considerations"
In addition,the Southern Watershed(see Southern Watershed map in Chapter 1,Section 1.5-Rural
Area)is subject to"special drainage considerations."Drainage in the Southern Watershed is highly
impacted by the presence of high ground water,poorly draining soils,and high water surface
elevations in downstream receiving waters.Therefore,it is recommended that the developer of any
property in the Southern Watersheds understand and evaluate these factors prior to undertaking
the project and properly account for these factors in the project design.Receiving waters in the
Southern Watersheds are subject to wind driven tidal influences.High ground water elevations and
poorly draining soils can result in increased runoff,can limit the capacity of stormwater
conveyance systems,and can counter the use of certain Best Management Practices,such as
infiltration.
All of these effects must be fully considered and evaluated in the analysis and design of drainage
systems in the Southern Watersheds.Accordingly,it is strongly recommended that the developer
has a preliminary drainage study prepared by a qualified professional engineer in advance of any
request to approve a discretionary(versus by-right)development application that involves land
disturbance in the Southern Watershed.The drainage study should fully and accurately evaluate
the effects of the foregoing factors on the planned development and on upstream and downstream
areas.The proposed drainage system for the planned development would provide positive
drainage that meets City standards and does not result in flooding within the planned development
or to upstream or downstream areas.
Recommended Policies: Land Development and Stormwater Management
• "Low Impact Development"design features should be incorporated into the City's major
buildings and parking area projects and in all private development plans.
• All waterfront development proposals in the Strategic Growth Areas(SGAs)should be
coordinated with the City's Parks and Recreation Department for potential public water
access(e.g.,canoe/kayak put in,parkland,plaza,etc.,)in accordance with adopted SGA
Master Plans.

Planning Commission Public Hearing November 10, 2021
Amendment to the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive
„,,, Plan, 2016 to address stormwater impacts for
Virginia Beach discretionary applications
Request
A Resolution to amend the Environmental Stewardship Framework of the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan,
2016,to address stormwater impacts for discretionary applications.This amendment is to be in compliance with the
Resolution passed by City Council on September 7, 2021.
Summary of Referred Ordinances
The purpose of this amendment is to fulfill the components of the stormwater bond referendum approved by the
citizens of Virginia Beach on November 2, 2021. The amendment will require rezoning and conditional rezoning
applications to demonstrate no stormwater impact upstream or downstream of the proposed project or to current or
planned stormwater and cca lcvcl ric^ -wine^^•flood control projects included in the referendum.To show compliance
with this policy, all rezoning and conditional rezoning applications will be required to provide a preliminary stormwater
analysis similar to what is currently recommended for discretionary applications in the Southern Watershed.Staff
envisions that the preliminary stormwater engineering analysis should include plans and calculations that demonstrate
stormwater facilities have been adequately designed and sized to ensure no off-site impacts.This simplified analysis
should be combined with a potential volunteered proffer stating the site plan will conform to all applicable state and
local stormwater management regulation at the time of plan submittal and will not create and impact on upstream or
downstream properties or stormwater systems. Alternatively, if a proffer is not volunteered, a more comprehensive
stormwater analysis to include stormwater modeling will need to be completed prior to receiving favorable
recommendation from staff. By having no impact on the stormwater infrastructure,the City can continue to be resilient
to future storms and still allow for new development where appropriate.
The amendment also removes references in the Comprehensive Plan to the"Integrated Site Design" document which
was a proposal to address resiliency through required site design elements.This document was never adopted by City
Council and is not a policy that can be implemented at this time.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution to amend the Comprehensive Plan as it will protect the City's investment
in stormwater infrastructure and will meet the requirements of the Resolution to support the Bond Referendum
adopted by City Council on September 7,2021.

be taken to ensure consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Regional Hazard
Mitigation Plan,especially related to strategies to mitigate recurrent flooding and sea level rise.
Recommended Polides: Sea Level Rise,Recurrent Flooding,and Hazard Mitigation
• Concentrate new development at higher elevations outside special flood hazard areas.
• Use alternative construction techniques to minimize fill in the Floodplain Subject to Special
Restrictions.
• Wherever possible in the development approval process,avoid developing inside special flood
hazard areas,especially in the Southern Watershed Area,which is characterized by limited relief
and a minimal hydraulic gradient.
Agenda for Future Action Recommendations:Sea Level Rise,Recurrent Flooding,and
Hazard Mitigation
• Develop a program to educate the public on the beneficial functions and values of
floodplains.
• Implement the findings and recommendations of the Sea Level Wise Response Strategy.
• Preserve and enhance beaches and dunes along the City's Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake
Bay shorelines.
• Implement the recommendations of the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
LAND DEVELOPMENT AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Land is a precious resource,limited in amount,highly valued and often exploited,a commodity that
is constantly being sold,developed,or redeveloped. As the City matures,its land inventory
becomes even scarcer.Management of land in its natural state demands that we employ wise
management and stewardship practices to safeguard the City's natural heritage.Similarly,
developed land should be used in a sustainable manner so that its value to present and future
generations is maintained or enhanced.On November 2.2021.the citizens of Virginia Beach passed
a bond referendum to initiate a comprehensive financial plan to pay for the debt related to
significant City-wide stormwater flood control projects.Thegoal of these
projects is to provide for the long-term flood mitigation needs of the City.
Based on the resolution passed by City Council on September 7,2021.it is the intent of City Council
to require all rezoning and conditional rezoning requests have no impact on the current and
planned future stormwater infrastructure that will help protect the City from recurrent flooding
and sea level rise.Similar to the current policy for the Southern Watershed.all rezoning and
conditional rezoning applications must-preve demonstrate by providing a preliminary stormwater
analysis no impact to the stormwater infrastructure upstream and downstream and this
information shall be provided,amongst other planning considerations,to obtain a positive
recommendation from staff.

Southern Watershed Subject to"Special Drainage Considerations"
In addition,the Southern Watershed(see Southern Watershed map in Chapter 1,Section 1.5-Rural
Area)is subject to"special drainage considerations."Drainage in the Southern Watershed is highly
impacted by the presence of high ground water,poorly draining soils,and high water surface
elevations in downstream receiving waters.Therefore,it is recommended that the developer of any
property in the Southern Watersheds understand and evaluate these factors prior to undertaking
the project and properly account for these factors in the project design.Receiving waters in the
Southern Watersheds are subject to wind driven tidal influences.High ground water elevations and
poorly draining soils can result in increased runoff,can limit the capacity of stormwater
conveyance systems,and can counter the use of certain Best Management Practices,such as
infiltration.
All of these effects must be fully considered and evaluated in the analysis and design of drainage
systems in the Southern Watersheds.Accordingly,it is strongly recommended that the developer
has a preliminary drainage study prepared by a qualified professional engineer in advance of any
request to approve a discretionary(versus by-right)development application that involves land
disturbance in the Southern Watershed.The drainage study should fully and accurately evaluate
the effects of the foregoing factors on the planned development and on upstream and downstream
areas.The proposed drainage system for the planned development would provide positive
drainage that meets City standards and does not result in flooding within the planned development
or to upstream or downstream areas.
Recommended Policies: Land Development and Stormwater Management
• "Low Impact Development"design features should be incorporated into the City's major
buildings and parking area projects and in all private development plans.
• All waterfront development proposals in the Strategic Growth Areas(SGAs)should be
coordinated with the City's Parks and Recreation Department for potential public water
access(e.g.,canoe/kayak put in,parkland,plaza,etc.,)in accordance with adopted SGA
Master Plans.

Agenda Item # 1
City of Virginia Beach, a Resolution to amend the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive
Plan 2016 to address the citywide stormwater impacts for discretionary land use
applications.
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL—HEARD
Madam Clerk: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Our first agenda item is agenda item number one, City of
Virginia Beach, a resolution to amend the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan 2016 to
address city-wide stormwater impacts for discretionary land use applications.
David Weiner: Welcome.
Ms. Bookholt: Thank you. Good afternoon, Commissioners. I'm Carrie Bookholt. I'm the
Development Services Center Administrator, and I'm here to bring forward a proposed
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, which is necessary to fulfil the components of the
recently passed City Council Resolution and Bond Referendum. On September 7th, City
Council passed a Resolution that stated should the Bond Referendum pass, the Comprehensive
Plan would be revised or amended within three weeks to include language that would
essentially require projects that come before you for a discretionary request, not create an
impact or increase demand in the stormwater system. Our staff report proposes the language
that we would like to amend the Comprehensive Plan, and it states that based on the Resolution
by City Council, all rezonings and conditional rezonings should demonstrate no impact on
current or future in stormwater infrastructure, and must provide a stormwater analysis,
demonstrating this has no impact as part of their Planning Commission application process. The
amendment also removes any reference to the Integrated Site Design Guide which is a policy
document that was not adopted by City Council and is not in place at this time. The Planning
Department and Public Works Department have been hosting a series of storm water
workshops with a focus group to include CVBIA, which was the former TBA group, consulting
engineers, developers, and two City Council liaisons. And this amendment was discussed at
length in those meetings, it was decided that the amendment would only apply to rezonings or
conditional rezonings. The City Council staff liaisons were comfortable and staff was
comfortable that should a proffer be volunteered for a conditional rezoning project, that a less
intense storm water design, preliminary design, could be submitted through our office before
receiving a positive recommendation. So with that, we had to act quite quickly. The resolution
that was passed in September, only gave us three weeks to get this before you and to City
Council, should the bond referendum pass and it did. So even with us being on the agenda for
December 7th for City Council, we're a week behind, but we had to act quickly. We did propose,
I do want to reiterate, we sent our proposed language to our stakeholder group, including
CVBIA. We received one minor comment back. We amended the proposed language to include
their comment. And then we received reassurance that they were on board with the proposed
language that we presented in our staff report today.Any questions?
1
David Weiner: Mr. Redmond?
Dave Redmond: Who gave you that reassurance? I have to tell you I've heard quite otherwise.
Ms. Bookholt: So, Claudia Cotton is the representative that we've been communicating with, as
the representative for CVBIA.
Dave Redmond: Okay, well,just so you know, I got a telephone call right after our informal
meeting saying, meant to call you earlier about this, but we were very uncomfortable with the
speed at which this is moving and feel like this process has been somewhat disingenuous.
There are folks who are part of that stakeholder group, that you describe, that don't feel that this
has been entirely proper and that it is moving too fast and that they were surprised by the
language that I think we were surprised by. So I don't mean to criticize you, but I think the
suggestion that everything is copacetic with regard to, that the stakeholder group, which I don't
know, other than the person who called me, I don't know anybody who was on it. Nobody from
the Planning Commission, I understand, was on it. I think, I have been told something quite
different than that and this very morning. So, that gives me great pause and I'm sure that City
Council will be hearing comments to that effect. So, certainly is going to, well, we're going to get
into this discussion here shortly, but I just wanted to put that on the record. It's not comfortable
for me to do it, but that's what I'm hearing and people reaching out to me saying just that.
Ms. Bookholt: Understood.
Dave Redmond: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
David Weiner: Yes, ma'am?
Madam Clerk: We have one speaker...
David Weiner: Yes, ma'am. Okay. Anybody with the comments?
Dee Oliver: No, I mean, other than, and I guess I can wait for close, but just to reiterate what I
had stated earlier this morning,just so that we do have it on the record, so to speak. And again,
appreciate all your time and effort presenting all of this and your work on it. But the stakeholder
meetings that I think and correct me if I'm mistaken, that you'd said that were weekly for about a
month, it's unfortunate that the Planning Commission had not been included in those for
something that's getting ready to be put into the Comprehensive Plan, which is something that
we haven't seen in three years. Not to mention that along with that, there's a Resolution that
was put forth and I'm not quite sure, I haven't been briefed, or I don't know who on the
Commission has in more, in-depth of where that resolution that came from one of our council
members, I believe it was Mr. Moss. How that speaks to this. And are they still two separate or
have they been in integrated because the wording in that was completely different than the
wording in this. So, I stand along with Commissioner Redmond on that, that it gives me great
pause because I have been in many other board meetings with the same stakeholders and
those same people have not expressed thumbs up on this, by any stretch of imagination. So I
2
would like more time to be briefed on this, so that we have a better understanding of where we
are. Because this is extremely important, as we all know going forward.
Ms. Bookholt: And I should clarify that, when I say that we had consensus, it wasn't, as it relates
to the Resolution. The Resolution with the language that was included was done at City Council
level on September 7th. So the consensus that we achieved last week, via email, as we were
passing the language back and forth was the language that's proposed for the Comprehensive
Plan. So they're very, well maybe some folks that aren't on board with the Resolution language,
but that has already been passed.
Dee Oliver: Right. And so it's just a little not, I'd like to see it a little more straightforward. I'd like
to see everything, basically, is when it comes down to it. But again, I appreciate all your effort
and hard work.
David Weiner: So I have a question. So the language in that we have here compared to the
language that was in the Resolution, put that together for us?
Ms. Bookholt: So the language in the Resolution was written a little bit looser. And so we met
with the Council liaisons. We met with Councilman Moss to talk about what that would look like
in practice. And in practice, we discussed applying a preliminary storm water analysis
requirement to conditional rezonings, or rezonings only, instead of all discretionary applications,
since it's those two types of applications that could change the land cover characteristics the
most. And it was through those discussions as well, that they agreed that they would be open to
a less intense preliminary analysis. And essentially just reiterating that we would not be creating
any impact or any demand, that if the City is going to spend half a billion dollars on flood
protection projects, that we don't want to rezone out that capacity of the system.
David Weiner: And I got another question. Why did it have to be... Not putting you on the spot or
anything, but why did it have to be three weeks? There was a reason why it had to be three
weeks after the referendum question?
Ms. Bookholt: That I do not know. That's how it was written in the City Council's Resolution. I'm
not sure if the attorney has any other...
Ms. Wilson: I have no insight.
David Weiner: No. Okay. And I'm just curious...
Ms. Bookholt: That's how it came down to us.
David Weiner: As Mr. Redmond said earlier today, I mean, that's like three seconds or
whatever, however you put it. It's crazy to me it's quick. Okay. All right. Just that's good. Yeah,
we have one speaker.
Michael A. Inman: I got plenty to say.

Madam Clerk: Eddie Bourdon
David Weiner: Welcome, Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach
attorney, land attorney, been practicing in Virginia Beach for 37 years. First of all, I was at the
City Council meeting when this Resolution was adopted, but there was no opportunity for
anybody to discuss. And frankly, couldn't be more ecstatic and proud of our City for having
approved the referendum 70% plus. And I frankly don't think anybody at that point who cares
about the future of the Virginia Beach was going to stand up and start asking questions about
what they were doing. So, but this is a different circumstance. This is a deliberative body that is
here for the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan. I didn't know anything about these meetings
every Friday, either. I obviously know they didn't include anybody on the Planning Commission
and, some of this, I'm not opposed to it, but I'm definitely concerned about, there hasn't been
enough deliberation and enough input from people who might have a little bit of, and I'm not
suggesting that Councilman Moss or Councilman Jones don't, but this has been half baked. The
northern part of the City, which is what this applies to, is 95% developed. And there's hardly any
zoning up there that's agriculture. And so the idea that we're going to have, well, and let me
back up before I get into that, rezonings. Not conditional rezonings, rezonings. No one's done
an analysis of the rezonings that have come forward in the last five or 10 years, because I can
assure you that there have been almost none and those that have come, they're typically down
zonings of already developed properties. So, but I don't understand why we put rezonings in
there because if you're going to, to create, I think, Carrie used the word drastically, or even
significantly increase impervious surface with a rezoning, I don't think there's been any of those.
Now with a conditional rezoning, that's conceivable. Certainly is a case in the southern part of
the city, middle part of the city. But I don't think there's been a lot of, I mean any analysis of
what the impact of this, basically a moratorium on rezonings might be. And I certainly, I'm not
opposed to the idea, although we have to do this anyway. I mean, the site plans got to be done
anyway. So you're basically telling somebody who might have a very... And let me back up,
Hackers today. And there's another one that recent, oh, Pembroke Mall. They don't have to
worry about this because they're reducing their impervious surface by 10%. And that takes it
out, you don't have to worry about that. If that came along today, I don't know that that's
covered in here, maybe it is. I'm not sure that it is, but they don't have to comply because they're
reducing by 10% their impervious surface. So, and you got all these other people who can add
on to stuff that's already zoned and they have to do the same thing, go through of the site plan
and still comply. So it's like, we're adding an extra layer of handcuffing or because you got to
come in and if you want to rezone your property and you don't want to spend thousands of
dollars before you can even get here, you have to say, well, we will meet the requirements. Well
the word no, is important, no impact. Well, these models are not meant for going in the weeds to
that point. And I went on today's agenda, it's taken us a year and a half. And I'll explain that
when we get to Atlantic Development, we don't get any credit for saving 89 acres of tree
forested land. No, no, at all. And we can't have one 100th of an inch, which isn't even
measurable, leave the property. Okay. So no, and if there's not at least the tiniest amount of
discretion on the part of our professional staff, we are basically saying we're not open for
business and that's what I'm concerned about. And I think there's some ways that this can be, at
least, come across as being less prohibitive and more balanced.

David Weiner: Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Bourdon? Any questions?
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
David Weiner: Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Well, I guess we can just close this and get right
into it with us. We'll close it and start comments. Who's going first? Mr. Inman.
Michael Inman: Well, as I said, in the informal session, we are taking this on, with virtually no
notice. This is the Comprehensive Plan amendment. This is a big deal, but we all know that.
The intent of what is going on in this Comprehensive Plan amendment is good. I mean, we all
are, we're very aware of the storm management issue. We all want City of Virginia Beach to be
open for business. It's getting a reputation of not being open for business, part because of our
storm water management implementation. So, it's really important to get this right. And here
we've had no invitation to, as a body, to participate in all these deliberations that have taken
place. No idea that they were going on, even through a public, we weren't advised that we could
even go attend. A Resolution was passed in September by City Council to move forward with
this Comprehensive Plan amendment, as I'm understanding it. But not until the referendum
passed, if it passed, which thankfully it did. Okay. So then we got three weeks. Who thought of
that? I don't know. I mean, it's in the operation of a municipality, the size of Virginia Beach.
Making a storm water decision in three weeks seems preposterous to me. I know we're in a
hurry. I know it's important. So, we didn't know about the Resolution. We got the language late
last week in our package to study and without any real background and the intent is good, but
the devil is in the details, we all know that. It's a legal document, it's a Comprehensive Plan. So I
can't imagine how we could... I would not be able to vote in favor of it today.
David Weiner: Mr. Redmond?
Dave Redmond: Well, a little bit different from what Mike said. The thing that I struggle with
here is I think you're exactly right. And I hate to have to say it, but this City is getting a
reputation for not being open for a business, in a lot of different ways. And that I think is
probably a conversation where you need to have it. I know we are having it at some levels, but
we need to have a bigger one. And this is part of it. But the notion that there is a process for
amending the Comprehensive Plan. Now I get that City Council calls the shots around here. No
disputing that, right? This is their prerogative, I understand that. The City Council can certainly
amend their three week deadline for figuring this out. As I said this morning in the informal
session, we're not going to spend 568 million bucks in the next three weeks. All of these
projects have an enormous amount of engineering to be done, before they get underway still.
And so I just don't understand the rush involved in that. And just today, somebody who was
supposedly involved in these discussions, they feel like it has been all together too rushed. So
I'm not offended that the Planning Commission isn't involved in a panel or a discussion or
something like that. I certainly think that probably would've been preferable, but I mean you
don't want to include us. I'm not going to feel like I didn't get invited to prom or something, but I
still think like Mike does, that this really could have been done a lot better. And if you've got
them with a Comprehensive Plan, there's a process to do that, that's much more deliberative
than this. This is the bums rush, trying to do something much more quickly than it needs to be
done. And stuff doesn't get done right that way. And so that's my concern about it as well. So, I
5
think, I would, in Mike's camp as I often am, but I'm in Mike's camp, that I'm not comfortable
supporting this today. If you only got two choices, yes and no. I'm a no, for those reasons. So it
doesn't make sense, Ms. Wilson, and I respect her too. Ms. Wilson says it doesn't make sense
to defer it, in which case we got one or two choices. And I'm just not able, frankly, with those
concerns to be able to support it. Thank you.
David Weiner: Mr. Graham?
Whitney Graham: I agree with my fellow Planning Commissioners. I, too, will not support this. I
just feel like it was too rushed. I hear all the time that from other developers that feel that City of
Virginia Beach is difficult to do business in. The storm water models, it takes forever. You do
model after model after model, it's very expensive. It's not just submitting a storm water model.
There's back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And it's expensive. And I'm concerned
that it's going to really shut down any redevelopment in the city. I just don't think it was well
thought out. And I feel like it's too rushed and I will not support this.
David Weiner: Ms. Bradley?
David Bradley: I got a question for Ms. Bookholt, if it's okay.
David Weiner: Sure. She doesn't mind coming back up, do you?
David Bradley: So just, obviously, 70 plus percent of the voters approved it. So, this is an
important issue to our citizens. And I was talking to you a little bit after the informal. So, in the
southern part of the city, this process already exists. In the northern part of the city, this is where
this would be implemented. But as the previous speaker said, there's probably not much
opportunity because it's already fully developed. And I guess, maybe my question is, when you
get to site development review, is anything changing because of this? Because that's where I
think the rubber really hits the road on implementation of these things.
Ms. Bookholt: Right. The same type of analysis is still required at a site plan level. The type of
analysis is not going to change. The only thing that would change is that for projects, if you
came across a property where there was capacity in our existing storm water system, which is
rare to find, in that case, you would not be able to increase the flooding levels. So, the same
process is still going to exist. The only thing that would change is that you would have to hold to
that same exact...
David Bradley: Meaning, you have to be able to show that you have no impact on storm water
for your individual...
Ms. Bookholt: From your individual project. You haven't increased the demand leaving into our
public system from your project. So that'll be required. Yes.
David Bradley: Thank you.
6
David Weiner: Wait here. I don't think personally, we don't really have a... There's a little bit of
an issue of how the process is, but I think more than anything, we're just trying to rush this
through and we've never rushed anything through before on a Comprehensive Plan, because
this is something we take our time and look at and vette and talk to people and things like that.
But one question I wanted to ask you, last speaker said about the 10% pervious and they didn't
have to worry... What do they... When it's 10%, they're taking away 10% of pervious parking,
what does that do?
Ms. Bookholt: So, that they can satisfy certain storm water requirements by reducing their
impervious cover. And even if projects moving forward, if this were to, if the Comprehensive
Plan is to be amended, if you reduce the impervious cover on your site, your analysis is much
less complicated, and you can satisfy your storm water requirements by providing a reduction in
impervious cover.
David Weiner: Okay. So that didn't change at all?
Ms. Bookholt: No.
David Weiner: Okay. Just want to make sure.
Ms. Bookholt: Yes.
David Weiner: Any other questions for? Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. Bookholt: Thank you.
David Weiner: Any other questions or concerns or talk? So, I'm torn, I'm really upset of the fact
that we're rushing this through, but the Ordinance already been passed by Council. It's some
stuff we already do anyway. I don't think that's the issue. I just don't like the part that it's rushing
through. I don't like that. And I think we need to sit back and look on it. So, I'm not going to
support it either. So anybody wants to make a motion. Somebody?
Michael Inman: I'll make a motion.
David Weiner: Okay. Make a motion.
Michael Inman: I make a motion that we turn down the Resolution to amend the Comprehensive
Plan on item number one.
David Weiner: Right. You have a motion. Have a second?
Whitney Graham: I'll second.
David Weiner: Right. We have a motion by Mr. Inman, a second by Mr. Graham.

Madam Clerk: Okay. The motion is to deny. Vote is open. By recorded vote of 11 in favor and
zero against, agenda item number one has been denied, recommended for denial.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: NIMMO UNITED METHODIST CHURCH [Applicant & Property Owner]
Certificate of Appropriateness (Appeal of Historical Review Board Decision)
for the property located at 2040 Nimmo Church Lane (GPIN 2414054907).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2021
• Background:
The Nimmo United Methodist Church (the Church) is located in the Nimmo Church
Historic and Cultural District zoning overlay. The Church applied to the Historical
Review Board (HRB) for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to make several
additions to the church building complex. The HRB issued a COA for the proposed
administrative office, choir room and fellowship hall additions. The HRB denied the
COA for the proposed welcome center addition. The Church is appealing the HRB
decision to deny the COA for the welcome center.
• Considerations:
Section 1303 of the Zoning Ordinance directs that no building or structure shall be
constructed or altered within a Historic and Cultural District and no required permit
authorizing that action is to be issued unless the Historical Review Board has
issued a Certificate of Appropriateness. It further directs that the HRB review board
shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness only if it finds the proposed building or
structure is architecturally compatible with the historic landmarks, buildings or
structures in the district.
At a public hearing on September 15, 2021 , the HRB considered the application
for a COA for a welcome center addition to the Nimmo Church building. By a
unanimous vote the HRB denied the COA application for the welcome center on
the following grounds: 1) The proposed addition's design and placement will
disrupt the historical character of the Church; 2) The proposed placement of the
proposed addition will obstruct visibility of the Church's 1890s steeple, which is a
character defining feature of the historic building; 3) The proposed storefront glass
system of the welcome center is inconsistent with the architectural style of the
Church and the character of the Nimmo Church Historic and Cultural District. The
applicant filed an appeal to the Planning Director within the required period and
the Planning Director has scheduled the appeal on the City Council agenda.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report.

• Recommendation:
On September 15, 2021, the Historical Review Board passed a motion to deny a
Certificate of Appropriateness for construction of a welcome center addition in front
of and attached to the Nimmo United Methodist Church. The HRB issued a denial
of this request by a vote of 5 to 0. Staff recommends that City Council uphold the
denial of this COA application.

Nimmo United Methodist Church
Agenda Item 21-8

Background & Summary of Proposal
• Nimmo United Methodist Church was founded in 1791 when Anne Nimmo deeded one acre of land for a religious
structure.The Church is one-story made of wood frame weatherboard. A steeple was added on the front of the
church in 1893 and several other additions were constructed between 1956 and 1990.The Church exemplifies a
rural American church building in the early Republic architectural style. In 1980, Nimmo Church was established as a
Historic and Cultural Overlay District.
• The Historical Review Board (HRB) approved three proposed segments with conditions/requirements for the
modifications and expansions to the existing Nimmo United Methodist Church on April 21, 2021. The approvals and
conditions were:
• Administrative Offices—approved as submitted
• Choir Room—approved on condition of removal of the following architectural elements: brackets, cross.
• Fellowship Hall—approved pending revision, resubmittal and approval of the design for the following elements:
o Brackets—reduction of scale and ornateness
o Columned Entrances (2)—reduction of scale and ornateness of portico and columns
• The Historical Review Board deferred action on the proposed Welcome Center segment on April 21, 2021 and
requested the applicant to work on a redesign of this addition and resubmittal for review. The redesign approach
was recommended to include:
o Revisiting options for placement alternatives to preserve the full view of the church's steeple feature
o Developing a design for the Welcome Center addition that will be somewhat in a midpoint of the spectrum
between the preliminary design developed in 2019 and the proposed design submitted in 2021.
• For the Choir Room,the cross and brackets have been removed from the earlier proposed design per HRB request.
• For the Fellowship Hall, the brackets have been redesigned to be less ornate and are reduced in scale. The portico
and columns have been redesigned and are reduced in scale. The gabled portico has been redesigned with a flat
roof supported by a pair of single round columns.
• For the Welcome Center, despite the HRB recommendation in April, no redesign has been submitted and the
applicant has resubmitted the design that was reviewed by the HRB in April 2021.
Appropriateness of Design
The removal of the brackets and cross from the Choir Room simplifies the design and differentiates this addition from
the church and the earlier addition to which the Choir Room is proposed to be attached. This is an appropriate design
change.
The redesigned brackets for the Fellowship Hall are smaller in scale and less ornate than the previously proposed
decorative brackets. They are readily differentiated from the brackets that appear on the historic Church.This is an
appropriate design change.
The redesigned portico and columns,with a flat roof and single support columns, also exhibits a reduction in scale from
the previously submitted design. The removal of the coupled columns and the simplification of the portico shape make
the redesign a less ornate option. The angularity of the building's many segments and the existence of one square roof
support on the north side suggests that square columns would be a more appropriate design choice and would further
the simplification of the treatment for these entrances.

Agenda Item 21-8

The Welcome Center has not been redesigned and it is Staff's view that the Welcome Center addition's design and
placement disrupts the historical character of the Church.As proposed,the Welcome Center is appended to the west of
the 1912 and 1989 additions, obstructing the openness and visibility of the steeple. Over the years,and since the 1890s,
structural additions made on the Church have generally respected the steeple's historic significance by keeping it
unobstructed and designing the new additions to have proper integration with the architecture.The steeple has
remained the main focal point of the Church and Staff believes its significance should not be compromised. In addition,
the proposed storefront glass system of the Welcome Center is inconsistent with the architectural style of the Church,
and thereby inconsistent with the character of the Nimmo Church Historic and Cultural District.
Staffs Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staffs opinion,the proposed changes to the design elements for the Choir Room and the Fellowship Hall are
consistent with the changes that the Historical Review Board requested at the April 21, 2021 meeting. Staff
recommends the columns for the entrance portico be of a square design rather than the proposed round design to be
consistent with the shape of an existing column in the building.
In Staff's opinion, placement of the Welcome Center addition in front of the Church significantly diminishes the historic
characteristics of the Church and the historic district.Specifically,Staff recommends the following considerations that
support this position.
• No addition should be placed in front of the historic iconic steeple,which has been a character-defining feature
of the Church since the 1890s.
• The proposed curvilinear glass-enclosed design of the Welcome Center,which could conceivably become an
inappropriate focal point of the façade, is out of character with the district and the building.The proposed use
of multiple columns and the reflective nature of the glass enclosure will create new dominant features that
previously did not exist.
• The combination of the existing wing to the north,the proposed expansion of the existing wing to the south and
the proposed Welcome Center addition on the west facade will effectively surround the historic section of the
Church,diminishing the iconic steeple's visibility and adversely impacting the character of the district.
Staff recommends issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed additions referenced as Administrative
Offices,Choir Room and Fellowship Hall,subject to the exhibits presented in this report, and with the condition that
square columns are utilized in the north and south entrance porticos for the Fellowship Hall.
Staff recommends denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed Welcome Center addition as it will
significantly change the aesthetic and appearance of the front façade of the Church, including diminishing visibility of the
historic steeple,which would adversely impact the historic character of Nimmo Church and the historic district.

to the requirements of the city zoning ordinance. No application shall be deemed complete
unless it contains sufficient information for the planning director to make such
determination.

(1) Issuance. The historical review board shall issue a certificate of appropriateness only if it finds
that the proposed building or structure is architecturally compatible with the historic
landmarks, buildings or structures in the district. In issuing its approval, the board may attach
such reasonable conditions, consistent with applicable city ordinances and development
standards, as are necessary or appropriate to ensure that the proposed building or structure
meets the requirements of this section.
The board shall consider, in determining whether a proposed building or structure is
architecturally compatible with the historic landmarks, buildings and structures in the district,
the following factors:
A. The conformity with the design, development standards, and criteria established for the

The meeting was called to order at 4:00 p.m. by the chair, Damian Seitz. He asked the members
to review the minutes from the August 18, 2021 meeting. Steve McNaughton made a motion to
approve the minutes as presented. The motion was seconded by Dick Poole. The minutes were
approved unanimously.
Certificate of Appropriateness Application#21-17—McDonald's—Installation of Gateway
Arm Sign and Speaker Canopy; 2432 Princess Anne Road, GPIN 14948390740000—
Courthouse Historic and Cultural District
Mark Reed introduced the application for Installation of a gateway arm sign and speaker canopy
for the McDonald's Restaurant located at 2432 Princess Anne Road. Mr. Reed noted that this
property had recently received a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for exterior renovations.
He said the applicant has brought this forward separately because they did not want it to
potentially delay the other exterior work. Mr. Reed noted that the original proffers for the
business do not allow for use of a speaker system for ordering. He said the applicant will be
requesting a modification of the proffers.
Mr. Reed showed slides to illustrate what the gateway arm and speaker canopy look like and
where they are proposed to be located on the McDonald's site. He said that staff is
recommending approval.
1
Dick Poole asked what the other options are for the applicant. Dylan Diefenbach, representing
the applicant, responded that it would probably be just a speaker box. Damian Seitz asked how
important the light in the canopy is for them. Mr. Diefenbach responded that the canopy, with its
light, guides the customer to the speaker and the canopy provides protection from rain.
Mr. Poole made a motion to deny the application because there are other options for a
freestanding speaker that does not require the gateway arm or a canopy. Jim Vachon seconded
the motion. Mr. Seitz opened the floor for discussion.
Steve McNaughton said that the canopy could potentially provide some protection from the
elements and it helps to define the speaker. Mr. Seitz asked staff if there are other instances of
gateway arms and speakers in use in the district. Mr. Reed said the Wendy's has a stand-alone
speaker. He said the Historical Review Board(HRB)had recently approved a gateway arm and
speaker canopy for the car wash in the Nimmo Church district. Mr. Seitz said he thought that is a
different situation. He asked about the recent Biggby Coffee COA in the Courthouse district.
Mr. Reed said that the HRB had approved a speaker that was part of the menu board for that
business.
There was no additional discussion. Mr. Seitz called for the vote. The application was denied by
a vote of 3 to 2 with Mr. McNaughton and Mary Ann Schmidt voting to approve.
Mr. Reed told Mr. Diefenbach that they have 30 days to appeal the decision. Mr. Reed said he
would send information on the appeal process to Mr. Diefenbach.
Certificate of Appropriateness Application#21-18—Rex G. Diaz—Installation of fence; 2693
Annapolis Circle, GPIN 14947065570000—Courthouse Historic and Cultural District
Mr. Reed introduced the application for installation of a fence at a residence located at 2693
Annapolis Circle in the Courthouse district. He noted that the house was constructed in 2017 and
the applicant is looking to enclose their backyard with a black metal fence. He said that there is
an existing metal fence along the rear property line and the proposed fence is similar in design.
Mr. Reed said the application materials note the existing fence as 4 feet tall and the proposed
fence as 4 1/2 feet tall. He said the applicant has said they will match the height of the existing
fence.
Mr. Reed noted that the HRB recently approved a COA for a whole house generator to be
installed on the side of the house at the subject property. He showed a slide illustrating that the
generator has been installed. He said that the application has the fence located behind the
generator,but the applicant has agreed to install the fence on the street side of the generator to
provide some screening from the street view. Mr. Reed said that staff recommends approval with
those conditions as discussed.
Marie Diaz was on hand as the applicant. She said that they intended to match the height of the
existing fence. She also said that they would place the fence on the street side of the generator.
2
Mary Ann Schmidt made a motion to approve the application on condition that the fence match
the height of the existing fence at the back of the property and that the fence be placed between
the generator and the street. Jim Vachon seconded the motion. There was no discussion. The
motion was approved by a vote of 5 to 0.
Certificate of Appropriateness Application#21-15—Building 2—City of Virginia Beach—
Redesign of east side basement entrance; 2405 Courthouse Drive, GP1N 149948149580000
—Courthouse Historic and Cultural District
Mr. Reed introduced the revised design of an exterior entrance for Building 2 that had been
denied by the HRB at their June 23 meeting. He noted that this is a proposed basement level
entrance on the east façade that originally had a proposed portico with columns. The HRB had
requested that the design be simplified and made less ornate.
Mr. Reed showed slides of the redesigned doorway that no longer had the portico and columns
and consisted of an entablature supported by two fluted pilasters. Mr. Reed noted that during
their redesign the applicant determined that access to this entrance would be better served with a
concrete ramp and brick retaining/containment walls. This structure was also illustrated in the
slides of the redesigned doorway.
Mr. Reed said that staff is recommending approval of the redesigned basement level doorway
and the proposed access ramp.
Prior to the applicant addressing the HRB, Damian Seitz had the following statement read into
the minutes:
Damian Seitz read the following statement into the meeting minutes:
Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act, Sections 2.2-3115(F), Code of Virginia,
I make the following declarations:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the Historical Review Board's
discussion and vote on the application of the City of Virginia Beach for a
certificate of appropriateness for Municipal Center Complex Building 2, which
is located at 2405 Courthouse Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23456.
2. Clark Nexsen is one of the applicant's service providers with respect to this
application.
3. I am an employee of Clark Nexsen, and its address is 4525 Main Street, Suite
1400, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462.
4. I will abstain from participating in the Board's consideration of this application.
3
I respectfully request that you record this declaration in the official records of the
Historical Review Board. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Willie Cooper of Clark Nexsen was in attendance representing the applicant. He said that
because of problems posed by the berm and the steps they decided that a ramp was the better
solution.
Dick Poole asked if there are better options for the storm drain that is shown adjacent to the
doorway entrance pad. Mr. Cooper said they could make it less visible.
Mr. Vachon noted that it is a lot of ramp. He asked if there we any others like it at the Municipal
Center. Mr. Reed said that there are several access ramps there,but not like this one. He said
most tend to sweep in an arc to get to the top of a set of steps or have a long, fairly straight
ascent. He said he didn't know of one that utilizes switchbacks like this one.
Dick Poole made a motion to approve the doorway design and the access ramp. Mary Ann
Schmidt seconded the motion. There was no additional discussion. The motion passed on a vote
of 4 to 0 with Mr. Seitz abstaining.
Certificate of Appropriateness Application#21-8—Nimmo Church—Redesign of
architectural features, entrance and Welcome Center; 2040 Nimmo Church Lane, GPIN
24140549070000—Nimmo Church Historic and Cultural District
Mr. Reed introduced the revised design of various elements of proposed additions that had
initially been presented to the HRB on April 21, 2021. He noted that there were no requested
changes to the Administrative Offices addition; the removal of decorative brackets and a cross
from the Choir Room addition had been requested; the reduction of scale and ornateness for the
decorative brackets and the portico and columns of two doorways for the Fellowship Hall had
been requested; and,the HRB had requested redesign of the Welcome Center.
Mr. Reed showed slides of the revised designs for the Choir Room and Fellowship Hall. He said
the brackets had been made less ornate on the Fellowship Hall and had been removed from the
Choir Room. He noted the changes to the portico and columns for the Fellowship Hall entrances
with the double columns being changed to single columns and the gabled porticos now have a
flat roof Mr. Reed said the Welcome Center had not been redesigned and had been resubmitted
as it appeared in April.
Mr. Reed said staff is recommending approval of the Administrative Office, Choir Room and
Fellowship Hall as resubmitted with the condition that the doorway columns be square instead of
round. Mr. Reed said that staff is recommending denial of the Welcome Center because it is out
of character for the district and it encroaches on and blocks the steeple,which is the character-
defining feature for the church building.

Mr. Reed said a member of the public has signed up to speak on this item. He asked Gene Estes
to please come forward.
Mr. Estes said that they had resubmitted the design because the HRB had previously
recommended increasing the visibility of the steeple through the addition and they cannot
increase it any more than this design does. He noted that since 1791 the church has made
incremental additions to the building. He said they added the steeple in the 1890s and the side
buildings in the 1950s. He said these changes were made to address changes in demographics
for the church.
Mr. Estes said the additions from around 1990 to either side of the steeple have become
bottlenecks and the Welcome Center is designed to solve that problem. He said it needs to be
there to eliminate the problems they have with ingress and egress for the sanctuary.
Mary Ann Schmidt read the following statement into the minutes:
I am a member of Nimmo Church,which is the applicant for the subject property. The
City Attorney's Office advised me that I do not have a conflict under the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act with respect to this vote,but I would nevertheless
like to voluntarily disclose I am a member of the church.
Ms. Schmidt asked Mr. Estes how many members of the church had seen the proposed design.
Mr. Estes said many of them have. Ms. Schmidt said it hung on the wall in the church during the
COVID restrictions and was the previous design.
Mr. Reed clarified that there was a different design that was discussed at a site visit,but that
design was never submitted to the HRB for official review. Damian Seitz asked Mr. Reed to
bring up an image of the previous design,which he did. Mr. Seitz stated that the site visit was
done to see if there were any potential obstacles to the project and the several proposed
additions. He said the proposed location of the Welcome Center had been the primary concern.
Mr. Seitz said that the Welcome Center with all windows as designed in the current submittal
will still be difficult to see through very well. He said there should be a way to achieve the
desired outcome without placement in this location.
Mr. Reed asked if the HRB could move forward with the recommended approval of the COA for
the Administrative Office, Choir Room and Fellowship Hall before discussing the Welcome
Center further. Damian asked Genie West, an architect with Dills Architects representing the
applicant,whether historically the square or round columns would be more appropriate. Ms.
West said that because of the many eras that are represented either would be appropriate. She
said they would be willing to change to square if their client agrees.
Steve McNaughton made a motion to issue a COA for the three additions—Administrative
Office, Choir Room and Fellowship Hall—as submitted with the condition that the columns for
the porticos of the Fellowship Hall be square. Dick Poole seconded the motion. There was no
additional discussion. The motion passed with a vote of 5 to 0.
5
Mr. Seitz initiated a discussion about the mid-point option for the Welcome Center that had been
requested last April. The general consensus was that creating more visibility of the steeple with
the addition in front of it was not a likely outcome. Mr. Poole suggested that a better option
would be to move the Welcome Center to the Administrative Office location and place the
Administrative Office to the left of the steeple. There was no additional discussion
Steve McNaughton made a motion to deny the Welcome Center addition application as
submitted. Dick Poole seconded the motion. Mr. Seitz asked if there was any discussion. There
was none. The motion passed by a vote of 5 to 0 and the COA for the Welcome Center design
was denied.
Mr. Reed told Ms. West that they will have 30 days to appeal the decision. Mr. Reed said he
would send information on the appeal process to Ms. West.
Certificate of Appropriateness Application #19-6—Courthouse Commons/Nimmo Parkway
Townhouses-RAW Enterprises— Substitution of approved materials; 2601 Princess Anne Road,
GPIN 1494648180—Courthouse Historic and Cultural District
Mr. Reed introduced the request for a substitution of approved materials for the Courthouse
Commons/Nimmo Parkway Townhouse project. He noted that this project had received a COA
in 2019 and had taken a while to get to construction. Now that they are ready, they are having
supply issues with some of the approved materials.
Mr. Reed noted that they had first approached him about the windows. They can get the same
windows,but they will be 4.25 inches wider than what was presented and approved in 2019. Mr.
Reed said he had checked with the architects on the HRB, and they individually said that the
change would not substantially change the aesthetic for the buildings.
Mr. Reed said that the builder later informed him that they could not get the approved brick. Mr.
Reed said he thought that these changes should come to the HRB for official review and
approval of an addendum to the COA.
Mr. Reed showed the brick samples. The proposed new brick is manufactured by General Shale
and has the Jefferson Wade Tudor as the primary brick and the Old English Tudor as the accent
brick.
Jim Vachon made a motion to approve the wider windows and General Shale brick selections as
presented. Dick Poole seconded the motion. There was no discussion. The motion was
approved 5 to 0.
Mr. Reed said the City Manager has asked staff to show all boards and commissions a video
about the Flood Protection Program and the upcoming related bond referendum. Mr. Reed
showed the video.

Staff Update
Mr. Reed then provided updates from staff. He said we received a deadline extension for the
Design Guidelines project. The new deadline is November 30. He said the fmal draft should be
available soon and he will get that out to HRB members as soon as he has it. He said the
consultant will provide a presentation to the HRB at their October meeting
Mr. Reed said that the Historic Preservation Strategic Plan has been on the back burner while the
consultant has focused on completing the Design Guidelines. We are now waiting on a revised
draft and we are expecting completion by the end of October.
Old Business/New Business
The Royal Farms project proposed for the Nimmo Church District was brought up. Mr. Reed
said that it is on City Council's agenda on Tuesday, September 21. He said that a letter went to
them from the HRB. He also noted that the Historic Preservation Commission sent a letter to the
Mayor and City Council recommending against the rezoning.
There being no additional business,the meeting was adjourned at 5:40 p.m.
