streets or public rights-of-way and after GRANTEE provides the City with its proposed plans
for the Telecommunications facilities, the City may in its discretion designate certain
locations to be excluded from use by GRANTEE for its Telecommunications facilities,

facilities or would be rendered unsafe or unstable by the installation. The City Engineer may
further exclude certain other facilities that have been designated or planned for other use or
are not otherwise proprietary, legal or other limitations or restrictions as may be reasonably

the City for or bear any additional cost actually incurred by the City as a result of
GRANTEE's failure to comply with the City's request to protect,alter or remove equipment
under this Agreement. The City may collect such costs, and any reasonable expenses and
attorney fees incurred in collecting such costs, as debts owed to the City,by bringing action
in any court of competent jurisdiction or exercising the City's rights to draw on bonds or
letters of credit, or in any other lawful manner, individually or in combination.

telecommunications facilities located within the public ways or other areas of the City as the
City may determine to be necessary, appropriate or useful in response to any life-threatening
emergency. The City will endeavor to notify GRANTEE of such emergencies which may
impact its telecommunications facilities.Nothing herein shall create any duties or obligations
on the City to so notify GRANTEE nor shall the City, its officers, agents, employees, or
volunteers in any way be liable for any failure to notify GRANTEE.
5.8. The facilities of GRANTEE shall be located so as not to interfere with the
public safety or, to the extent possible, with the convenience of persons using the public

telephone utilities, public electric utilities, cable television facilities, and railway,

this Agreement.
5.10. Except in the cases of emergencies, GRANTEE shall not move, alter, change
or extend any of its telecommunications system in any public street or public right-of-way

Manager. The City Manager shall use his best efforts to either approve or deny GRANTEE's
request to relocate it facilities within fifteen (15) days of receipt of GRANTEE's request.
Such permission shall be conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, with such other terms and conditions as will preserve, protect and promote the
safety of the public using the public ways, and as will prevent undue interference with or
obstruction of the use of the public ways by the public,the City or by any other public utility,
public service corporation or cable operator for their respective purposes and functions. Such
work by GRANTEE shall also be coordinated with the City's annual paving program through
the Office of the City Engineer.
5.11. GRANTEE shall not open, disturb or obstruct, at any time, any more of the
public streets or public rights-of-way than is reasonably necessary to enable it to proceed in
laying or repairing its telecommunications system. GRANTEE shall not permit any public
street or public right-of-way so opened, disturbed or obstructed by it to remain open,
disturbed or obstructed for a longer period of time than shall be reasonably necessary. In all
cases where any public street or public right-of-way is excavated,disturbed or obstructed by
GRANTEE, GRANTEE shall take all precautions necessary or proper for the protection of
the public and shall maintain adequate warning signs, barricades, signals and other devices
necessary or proper to adequately give notice, protection and warning to the public of the
existence of all actual conditions present.

7
the fiber optic or other cable and related facilities is completed, GRANTEE shall, at its own
cost, repair and return the public streets or public rights-of-way to a minimum of the same
or similar condition existing before such installation, removal, relocation construction or
maintenance, in a manner as may be reasonably specified by the City and to the reasonable
satisfaction of the City. GRANTEE shall be responsible for damage to City street
pavements, existing utilities, curbs, gutters and sidewalks due to GRANTEE's installation,
construction, maintenance, repair or removal of its telecommunications facilities in the
public streets, public rights-of-way, and shall repair, replace and restore in kind, the said
damaged property at its sole expense. Upon failure of GRANTEE to repair, replace and
restore said damaged property, in a manner as may be reasonably specified by the City and
to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, after thirty (30) days notice in writing shall have
been given by the City,the City may cause such necessary repairs to be made and may collect
the costs incurred from GRANTEE, including but not limited to,exercising the City's rights
to draw on bonds or letters of credit. The City may collect such costs, and any expenses and
attorney fees incurred in collecting such costs, as debts owed to the City,by bringing action
in any court of competent jurisdiction or in any manner allowed by law.
5.13. Neither GRANTEE,nor any person acting on GRANTEE's behalf, shall take
any action or permit any action to be done which may impair or damage any City property,
including,but not limited to, any public street,public right-of-way or other property located
in, on or adjacent thereto.
5.14. In the event of an unexpected repair or emergency, GRANTEE may

provided GRANTEE shall notify the City as promptly as possible, before such repair or
emergency work is started or as soon thereafter as possible if advance notice is not

manner that complies with all applicable federal, state and local requirements, laws,
ordinances, and regulations.

and rights-of way;provided,however,any applicable fees established by the City shall apply
to each such excavation unless otherwise provided by ordinance. Exceptions to the
requirement for a written permit may be allowed in cases of emergencies involving public
safety or restoration of service. In the case of emergency excavations made in a public street
or public right-of-way without a permit, GRANTEE shall make a report of each such
excavation to the City within two (2) working days and pay the applicable fee. Any permit
application and inspection related to repair of excavations shall be promptly acted upon by
the City so as not to unreasonably delay GRANTEE in efficiently discharging its public
service obligation and in any event shall be granted or denied within forty-five (45) days
from submission and, if denied, accompanied by a written explanation of the reasons the
permit was denied and the actions required to cure the denial.

telecommunications system or any portion thereof or any pavement cut by GRANTEE in
any public way of the City, the incidental trenches or excavations shall be refilled by
GRANTEE in a manner acceptable to the City Manager. Pavement,sidewalks,curbs,gutters
or any other portions of public ways damaged, disturbed or destroyed by such work shall be
promptly restored and replaced with like materials to their former condition by GRANTEE
at its own expense; however, where it is necessary, and if authorized by the City, in order to
achieve the former conditions, GRANTEE shall use materials whose type, specification and
quantities exceed or are different from those used in the installation, then GRANTEE at its
own expense shall provide such different materials. Where a cut or disturbance is made in a
section of sidewalk or paving, rather than replacing only the area actually cut, GRANTEE
shall replace the full width of the existing sidewalk or appropriate sections of paving as
determined by the City Engineer and the full length of the section or sections cut, a section
being defined as that area marked by expansion joints or scoring or as determined by the
City Engineer. GRANTEE shall maintain, repair and keep in good condition for a period of
one(1)year following such disturbance all portions of public ways disturbed by GRANTEE,
provided such maintenance and repair shall be necessary because of defective workmanship
or materials supplied by GRANTEE.
(b) All trees, landscaping and grounds removed,damaged or disturbed as a result
of the construction, installation maintenance, repair or replacement of telecommunications
facilities shall be replaced or restored, as nearly as may be practicable, to the condition

areas shall be done in accordance with landscape plans approved by the City.
5.19. (a) GRANTEE shall promptly remove or correct any obstruction, damage, or
defect in any public street or public right-of-way caused by GRANTEE in the installation,
operation,maintenance or extension of GRANTEE's telecommunications system. Any such
obstruction, damage, or defect which is not promptly removed, repaired or corrected by
GRANTEE after proper notice to do so, given by the City to GRANTEE, may be removed
or corrected by the City, and the cost thereof shall be charged against GRANTEE and
payable on demand. Any expense, cost, or damages incurred for repair, relocation, or
replacement to City water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, storm drainage, telecommunication
facilities or other property resulting from construction or maintenance of GRANTEE
telecommunications system shall be borne by GRANTEE and any and all expense and cost
incurred in connection therewith by the City shall be fully reimbursed by GRANTEE to the
City.
(b) If weather or other conditions do not permit the complete restoration required
by this Section, GRANTEE shall temporarily restore the affected property. Such temporary
restoration shall be at GRANTEE's sole expense and GRANTEE shall promptly undertake
and complete the required permanent restoration when the weather or other conditions no
longer prevent such permanent restoration.
(c) GRANTEE or other person acting on its behalf shall use suitable barricades,
flags, flaggers, lights, flares and other measures as required for the safety of all members of
the general public and to prevent injury or damage to any person, vehicle or property by

state,and local laws and regulations,including,but not limited to,the flagging requirements

directed by the City Engineer, to minimize public inconvenience, disruption or damages.
GRANTEE shall submit a written construction schedule to the City Engineer at least ten(10)
working days before commencing any work in or about the public streets or public rights-

telecommunications facilities. GRANTEE shall provide the City with "as built" drawings
and an accurate map or maps showing the location of its facilities, including pole lines and
conduit lines and any other facilities requested by the City, to include a digitized map(s) in
both printed and electronic form readable by the current version of Auto CAD and tied to
the Virginia State Plane Coordinate System and tied to the City's Survey Control monuments
and geographic information system certifying the location of all Telecommunications
facilities within the City. GRANTEE shall,upon request, provide updated maps annually.
(b) If any of the requested information of GRANTEE in this Agreement is
considered proprietary, confidential or a trade secret, GRANTEE will notify the City of this
opinion and the City will keep such information confidential to the extent permitted by the
Virginia Freedom of Information Act (Virginia Code Sections 2.2-3700 thr. -3714) or other
any successor statute or law. GRANTEE will submit an existing Facilities Map as a
condition precedent to the City's approval of this Agreement. As for new installations, after
the effective date of this franchise, GRANTEE shall submit the proposed Mapping of its
plans for new construction to the City prior to any construction. As-built drawings of any
new construction of facilities shall be furnished to the City within sixty (60) days of
completion of such construction. All as-built maps and drawings shall be drawn to scale and
reference to a physical City benchmark to the extent the physical benchmark is in reasonable
proximity to GRANTEE new installation. All mapping shall be provided in a format
compatible to the City's present and future mapping systems. Alternatively,GRANTEE will
pay for the cost of making the mapping compatible.
11
(c) Prior to its installation of any Telecommunications facilities in the public
streets or public rights-of-way and after GRANTEE provides the City with its proposed plans
for the Telecommunications facilities, the City may in its discretion designate certain
locations to be excluded from use by GRANTEE for its Telecommunications facilities,
including, but not limited to, ornamental or similar specially designed streets lights or other
facilities or locations which, in the reasonable judgment of the City Engineer, do not have
electrical service adequate for or appropriate for GRANTEE's facilities or cannot safely bear
the weight or wind loading thereof, or any other facility or location that in the reasonable
judgment of the City Engineer is incompatible with the proposed Telecommunications
facilities or would be rendered unsafe or unstable by the installation. The City Engineer may
further exclude certain other facilities that have been designated or planned for other use or
are not otherwise proprietary, legal or other limitations or restrictions as may be reasonably
determined by the City. In the event such exclusions conflict with reasonable requirements
of GRANTEE, the City will cooperate in good faith with GRANTEE to attempt to find
suitable alternatives, if available, provided that the City shall not be required to incur
financial costs nor require the City to acquire new locations for GRANTEE. GRANTEE
shall,prior to any excavation or installation within the public streets or public rights-of-way,
provide sufficient notification and joint installation opportunity on a shared cost basis to
potential users of the public streets or public rights-of-way as may be provided for by a
separate City policy. Such notification and adopted policies shall be designed to maximize

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 23, Article II of the City Code, Pertaining to Noise
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: In 2009, the City Council adopted the current version of the noise
ordinance after the Virginia Supreme Court declared the City's previous noise ordinance
unconstitutionally vague. The current noise ordinance relies on sound pressure levels
measured by noise meters.
• Considerations: The proposed changes to the noise ordinance would streamline
enforcement with reduced reliance on specialized sound meter equipment. The ordinance
would establish a hybrid penalty structure, imposing civil penalties for some violations
while preserving criminal penalties for repeat or severe violations.
A key change in the noise ordinance is the addition of a "plainly audible" standard, where
certain sounds that are plainly audible inside an individual's home or beyond a specified
distance from its source would constitute violations. Sound is plainly audible if it can be
heard by the human ear with or without a medically approved hearing aid or device. A
violation of the plainly audible standard would result in a civil violation punishable by a
fine of $250 for a first offense. Excessive noise as determined by decibel readings will
continue to be violations under the proposed ordinance and may result in misdemeanor
charges.
The ordinance has been updated to address concerns raised by the Council during its
May 24, 2022, workshop, such as clarifying the procedure to serve process on a business,
reconciling the evening enforcement time, and defining "noise" and "noise source." Other
clarifying changes have been proposed by staff, including the combining of largely
duplicative provisions in Sections 23-66(a) and (b) and inserting language that makes
clear that plainly audible sound that is contained on the private property where the noise
source is located would not give rise to a civil violation.
• Public Information: The proposed amendments to the noise ordinance were first
publicly briefed during the City Council Workshop on May 24, 2022. The proposed
ordinance was posted on the City website with detailed information on the Public
Comment Session and how the public could provide input. Public comment was received
by the City Council on June 7, 2022, on which date the Council deferred the item so
additional public input could be received at a workshop that was held on June 28, 2022.
The attached ordinance contains all of the changes that have been proposed since May
24, 2022. A redlined version that shows the changes between the current draft and the
version that was included in the June 7, 2022 agenda is attached as an exhibit.
• Recommendation: Approve updated ordinance

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Repeal City Code Section 36-73 and Amend City Code Section
36-172 Pertaining to Taxi Cabs
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: State law authorizes the City Council to regulate the operation of taxi
cabs, including the maximum rates charged by taxicabs that operate in the City. The
current cap on rates was set by the City Council almost 14 years ago. As justification
for a requested increase, representatives of the taxi cab industry have stated that a
higher fare is necessary because of the greatly increased cost of owning, operating, and
maintaining a taxicab. They request that the maximum rate for the first 1/8 of a mile or
fraction thereof (the "pickup fee") be increased from $3.25 to $6.00, given the rate of
inflation, the cost of gasoline, and the cost of parts and equipment. This would be a
maximum rate, so a driver could charge less, if they so desired.
Second, they requested that the requirement for a domelight be eliminated, because the
expense of installing and maintaining a domelight is not required of ride sharing
companies such as Uber and Lyft, and it serves little purpose given modern phone and
app-based technology for requesting transportation.
• Considerations: In addition to the two changes requested by the taxi cab industry,
the ordinance adds a provision that authorizes businesses, non-profits and
governmental agencies to enter into contracts with negotiated rates that may differ from
the rates set forth in the City Code. If the current high price of gasoline and other
expenses decreases in the future, the City Council could consider an additional change
to the pickup fee.
• Public Information: A public hearing will be held on July 12, 2022 for the City
Council to receive public comment on the proposed rate increase. The hearing was
advertised in the July 2, 2022 Virginian-Pilot, and a copy of the proposed ordinance has
been available for public inspection in the Clerk's Office.

28 transporting a fare from the city directly to a destination outside of the city shall
29 charge the rates prescribed by the city or county in which they are licensed.
30 (c) Any application for a fare increase under this section shall include justification for
31 such fare increase and such financial and operating information as may be
32 requested by the city manager. The city council shall hold a public hearing before
33 acting on any such application for a fare increase, after public notice for at least ten
34 (10) days.
35 (d) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this section, a taxicab owner or operator
36 may enter into written contracts with businesses, non-profits, or governmental
37 entities to provide services on a negotiated basis with a fare schedule agreed upon
38 in the contract, and the rates to be charged for services under such contracts may
39 differ from the rates set forth in this section.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEMS: A Resolution Directing the City Manager to Withdraw His Letter Withdrawing
Virginia Beach from the HREDA Master Agreement for Regional Economic
Development
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: The Hampton Roads Regional Economic Development Alliance
("HREDA") is an organization dedicated to attracting and retaining economic development
opportunities in the Hampton Roads region. To further its goal, HREDA, the City of
Virginia Beach, and ten other cities and counties in the region have entered into a Master
Agreement for Regional Economic Development dated as of July 1, 2019 (the "Master
Agreement").
As set forth in the Master Agreement, each participating municipality is to make an annual
contribution to HREDA based on that municipality's population. As the largest
municipality, Virginia Beach is asked to make the largest contribution. City Council's
budget for fiscal year 2022-23 included funds to satisfy Virginia Beach's obligations under
the Master Agreement, but payment was conditioned on the City Manager negotiating
more favorable terms. If terms, acceptable to Council were not agreed on prior to July 1,
2022, the City Manager was directed to withdraw from the Master Agreement.
On May 16, 2022, the City Manager sent a letter indicating that Virginia Beach was
withdrawing from the Master Agreement effective as of July 1 , 2022. Since that time, the
City Manager and Council liaisons have engaged in discussions with HREDA leadership
and have arrived at modified terms for the Master Agreement acceptable to Virginia
Beach. Those modifications are documented in a letter from HREDA dated June 20,
2022.
City Council therefore desires to direct the City Manager to withdraw his letter of May 16,
2022 and proceed with the Master Agreement, subject to the modifications set forth in
HREDA's June 20, 2022 letter.
• Considerations: Continued participation in the Master Agreement, as modified,
would promote economic development in the City of Virginia Beach to the benefit of the
residents.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.

Re: Master Agreement for Regional Economic Development
Dear Patrick:
You and I have had several discussions concerning the future working relationship between
the City of Virginia Beach ("Virginia Beach") and the Hampton Roads Economic Development
Alliance ("Alliance") under the terms of the Master Agreement for Regional Economic
Development ("Master Agreement"). Most recently, Alliance Board Chair ( -1 and I met
with you, Deputy City Manager Taylor Adams, and Virginia Beach City Council liaisons for the
Alliance Councilmembers Moss and Berlucchi. We discussed the desire of both parties to commit
to a plan of action that adds more specific detail to some of their obligations under the Master
Agreement. We hope the following plan is fully responsive to our joint concerns.
The following performance metrics will be part of the Annual Plan called for in Section 4
of the Master Agreement for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022:
PERFORMANCE METRICS REGIONAL NUMBERS
TO BE ACHIEVED
Number of unique (i.e., independent of VEDP) Regional leads 150
generated
Number of business, retention, and expansion visits completed in 75
the region
Number of projects won in the Region 7
Number of new jobs created in the Region 800
Total capital investment of projects won in the Region $50M
Alliance will meet and discuss strategy, major initiatives, and 4 times
review lead/project pipeline with Virginia Beach
For the purposes of the Annual Plan, a Lead is an early-stage opportunity, where the
Alliance has had an inquiry from or an initial conversation with a company, but capital
I-1891862.4
June 20, 2022
Page 2
investment/job creation parameters have not been communicated. Projects are investments
announced by a locality where the Alliance played some supporting or facilitating role.
The Alliance will focus on supporting expansion projects and recruiting new companies
with annual average wages more than $45,000. The Alliance will compile and report on the
salaries achieved in its Annual Report.
Report annually funding sources and use of funding.
Virginia Beach wants to have a clear understanding of the financial condition of the
Alliance including all funding sources (amount of private funding, public sector partner funding,
commonwealth funding, federal funding, and in-kind donations) and funding uses (business
development, project management, marketing, operations, personnel, and reserves).
The Alliance will continue its practice of reviewing the financials of the Alliance at every
board meeting. The Alliance will also continue to maintain its Finance Committee comprised of
certain non-board member investors and the Treasurer. Each of the sources and uses of funds listed
above will continue to be monitored by the staff, the board, and the Finance Committee. The
Alliance will continue to contract for an annual audit, and the financial condition of the
organization will continue to be detailed at the annual meeting and in the annual report
Adjustment to Board setup and annual performance review of the President& CEO
The Board Chair(or the Board Chair's designee) as part of the annual performance review
of the Alliance President & CEO will solicit the feedback from the Mayor and City Manager of
each City Investor serving on the Alliance Board of Directors. The feedback shall be used in
evaluating the performance of the President and CEO in achieving the mission, goals, vision and
intent of Alliance agreements and Board direction.
As the largest investor in the Alliance Virginia Beach has permanent representation on the
Board. Currently the By-Laws call for the position to be held by the Mayor or the Vice Mayor.
The Alliance staff will recommend to the Board a change in the By-Laws that will allow Virginia
Beach and other Public Investors to designate any member of council or Board of Supervisors to
represent them on the Board.
Relationship reflects VB status as largest investor in the Affiance
As the largest investor, Virginia Beach receives priority access to Alliance trips, events,
and marketing materials. The Alliance develops the annual travel calendar with input from the
Regional Economic Development Team(RED team). That calendar is reviewed periodically with
the RED Team, and it is in the Annual Plan. The Alliance will continue to publish an annual
marketing calendar which will also be in the Annual Plan.
I-1891862.4
June 20, 2022

The Alliance will help Virginia Beach, as it has other communities, establish a Virginia
Beach Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) program. Components of that program would
include Business Intelligence, Business Outreach and Engagement, Marketing and Program
Infrastructure, BRE Resources and Support and Process. The Alliance will also help Virginia
Beach fully utilize Salesforce to track your activities.
Protocols call for full sharing of information in both directions
Sharing information between Virginia Beach and the Alliance is the key to a successful
partnership. Coordinating strategy and tactics of the two organizations will include the
coordination of the activities of the European consultants of the two organizations and post
marketing trip debriefs between the two organizations. The Alliance will utilize its business
intelligence software and personnel to support the activities of Virginia Beach.
Communication plan will include frequency and consistency and consider all
stakeholders: staff, City Council, investors, Affiance Board
The Alliance will continue to improve communication with all Virginia Beach stakeholders
as well as those of its other Public Investors. Earlier this spring the Alliance began having a Vice
President attend all City of Virginia Beach Development Authority ("VBDA") meetings. The
Alliance also created direct communication with all City Council members to include our
newsletters,mid-year report, annual report, and invitations to our investor events. In addition, the
Alliance will work with the Virginia Beach City Manager to identify opportunities to brief the
Virginia Beach City Council on lessons learned from project recruitment successes and
unsuccessful project recruitment ventures,regional economic development opportunities in which
it desires the City of Virginia Beach to participate and on matters regarding the economic
development competitiveness or lack of competitiveness of the Hampton Roads region.
Marketing materials for the Alliance and VBDA will be shared, consistent and
complimentary
Virginia Beach will commit to consistent participation in the Regional Economic
Development Team meetings with a senior staff member — either the Economic Development
Director or if not available, a direct report to the Deputy City Manager for Economic
Development. The RED team is an excellent forum for developing consistency of materials
throughout the Hampton Roads region.The Alliance marketing team is a great resource for VBDA
and has created materials for Virginia Beach and will continue to do so as needed.
Reflect regional capacity building within the framework
Energy, connectivity, and talent recruitment will be critically important for this region
going forward. The Alliance hired PA Consulting to develop a regional energy assessment. That
report will be completed in June and will contain a set of recommendations that can be the
I-1891862.4
June 20, 2022
Page 4
foundation of a regional energy plan. The Alliance and the RED team work closely with HRPDC
and HRTPO on connectivity issues.
We are having a great deal of conversation about the role of the Alliance in Talent
Recruitment in this very tight labor market. Virginia Beach and the Alliance will work together to
frame this initiative going forward.
Leverage the role of the Alliance as regional convener
The Alliance Board will be more widely used for regional discussions and the RED Team
will be recognized as the regional strategy group for economic development for appropriate
participation.
Thank you very much for your willingness to discuss the issues outlined above and to
continue our work together in promoting economic development for the Hampton Roads region of
Virginia.
Very truly yours,
Douglas Smith, President& CEO
Hampton Roads Economic Development

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM A'
ITEM: A Resolution in Support of the City's 2022 Round 5 Applications for the Virginia
Department of Transportation SMART SCALE Program
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: The Virginia General Assembly passed legislation on April 6, 2014
requiring development of a prioritization process directing the Commonwealth Transportation
Board (CTB) to develop a scoring process for project selection. Virginia's SMART SCALE
program is about selecting the right transportation projects for HB1887 funding and ensuring the
best use of limited tax dollars. Transportation projects are scored based on an objective, outcome-
based process that is transparent to the public and allows decision-makers to be held accountable
to taxpayers. The SMART SCALE process evaluates projects on the following six weighted
criteria: Congestion Mitigation (45%), Safety (5%), Accessibility (15%), Environmental Quality
(10%), Economic Development (5%) and Land Use Coordination (20%). Resiliency is also given
consideration however is not factored into the score. SMART SCALE is a grant program, and
funds are only available on a reimbursement basis.
Based on the aforementioned SMART SCALE evaluation measures, the following seven (7)
transportation projects have been identified as candidate projects for SMART SCALE Round 5
funding.
1. Clearfield Avenue (Council District 4) — This project will install a continuous left-turn lane
from Cleveland Street to Virginia Beach Boulevard, approximately 0.3 miles. The continuous
left-turn lane addresses congestion and safety by adding a dedicated turn lane for left-turn
movements. The project will also include pedestrian facility improvements by adding a 5'
sidewalk.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $14.9 million. The City will request $9.9 million in
SMART SCALE funds and commit $5 million (34%) of FY26 and/or FY27 local funds.
2. Dam Neck Road (Council Districts 4 & 10) — This project will widen Dam Neck Road from
4 lanes to 6 lanes from Holland Road to Drakesmile Road. These improvements will add
capacity to address congestion and improve access to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana. This
project works in conjunction with the existing Dam Neck Road / Holland Road Intersection
Improvements Project (CIP 100537) funded through the CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and
Air Quality) Program. Proposed improvements also include stormwater improvements,
pedestrian facility improvements including a 10 ft wide shared-use path and 5 ft wide sidewalk,
and pedestrian signals.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $17.4 million. The City will request $11.9 million in
SMART SCALE funds and commit $5.5 million (32%) of FY26 and/or FY27 local funds.
3. First Colonial Road (Council District 6)—This project will widen First Colonial Road from 4
lanes to 6 lanes from Republic Road to Old Donation Parkway. These improvements will add
capacity to address congestion. It includes signal upgrades from span wire signals to mast
arm signals. It will improve the access to critical medical corridor and the Hilltop Shopping
Area. The project will also include pedestrian facility improvements including 10 ft wide
shared-use paths, 5 ft wide sidewalks, and pedestrian signals.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $46.6 million. The City will request $23.3 million in
SMART SCALE funds and commit $23.3 million (50%) of FY26 and/or FY27 local funds.
4. General Booth Boulevard and Dam Neck Road Intersection (Council District 5)— This
project will include construction of an additional southbound left-turn lane at the Dam Neck
Road and General Booth Boulevard intersection as well as modification of the westbound
approach to convert the outside through lane to an additional right-turn lane. The project will
also include pedestrian improvements including pedestrian refuges and signals. These
improvements will add capacity to address congestion and improve traffic flow to and from
Dam Neck Naval Base as well as travel between Dam Neck Naval Base and NAS Oceana.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $5.7 million. The City will request $4.7 million in
SMART SCALE funds and commit $1 million (18%) of FY26 and/or FY27 local funds.
5. Independence Boulevard and Pleasure House Road Intersection (Council District 9) —
This project will convert the existing Pleasure House Road and Independence Boulevard
intersection to a "Green-T" intersection. These improvements will address left-turning
congestion from Pleasure House Road to Independence Boulevard by installing a dedicated
receiving lane allowing additional green time for the left-turning traffic as well as southbound
traveling vehicles. Improvements also include a median break north of the intersection to
accommodate U-turns as well as pedestrian facility improvements. The project will also
improve transit operations within the corridor.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $6.2 million. The City will request $5.2 million in
SMART SCALE funds and commit $1 million (16%) of FY26 and/or FY27 local funds.
6. Indian River Road Intersection Improvements (Districts 1 & 7) — This project will include
modifications to two intersections: Indian River Road and Kemps River Drive and Indian River
Road and Thompkins Lane. The Indian River Road and Kemps River Drive intersection will
consist of a signal modification and pedestrian facility improvements. The Indian River Road
and Thompkins Lane Intersection converts a signalized intersection into a modified Restricted
Crossing U-turns (RCUT) intersection, this will restrict turning movements providing much-
needed capacity and safety improvements. These improvements will address the congestion
between the completed Indian River Road and Kempsville Road intersection (CIP 100214)
and the pending Centerville Turnpike Phase II project (CIP 100057) and will provide a more
seamless and uninterrupted flow of traffic along the corridor.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $2.7 million. The City will request the total project
cost, $2.7 million, in SMART SCALE funds with no local commitment.
7. Providence Road (Council District 1)— This project will install a continuous left-turn lane
from Kempsville Road to Churchill drive, approximately 0.6 miles. The continuous left-turn
lane addresses congestion and safety by adding a dedicated turn lane for left-turn
movements. This will improve traffic flow to and from nearby schools. The project will also
include pedestrian facility improvements by adding a 5' sidewalk.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $13 million. The City will request $10 million in
SMART SCALE funds and commit $3 million (23%) of FY26 and/or FY27 local funds.
The total local funds commitment if all seven (7) projects are awarded SMART SCALE funding is
$38.8 million. The City is leveraging a total of $38.8 million to potentially receive $67.7 million in
SMART SCALE funds. The seven projects are summarized below.
Project Total Local SMART Scale Local %
Clearfield Ave. $14.9m $5m $9.9m 34%
Dam Neck Rd. $17.4m $5.5m $11.9m 32%
First Colonial Rd. 1 $46.6m $23.3m $23.3m 50%
General Booth & Dam Neck $5.7m $1 m $4.7m 18%
Independence & Pleasure House $6.2m $1m f $5.2m 16%
Indian River Rd. $2.7m $0 $2.7m 0%
Providence Rd. $13m $3m $10m 23%
Total $106.5m $38.8m $67.7m 36%
• Considerations: These seven projects were presented to the City Council for
consideration at its March 1, 2022 informal session. The SMART SCALE Program is a grant
program and funds are available on a reimbursement basis. The program requires that localities
must first incur the expenses and then request reimbursement. Per a CTB Resolution in
December 2016, the order project funds are expended is local first and then the SMART SCALE
funds. All surplus SMART SCALE funds at completion of the project revert back to the overall
State SMART SCALE fund.
Total Project Cost (TPC) is directly factored into SMART Scale scoring. To optimize SMART
SCALE Scores, Public Works studied awards from previous rounds and developed the following
funding strategy rationale to optimize SMART SCALE scores:
• Total Project Cost (TPC) less than $5 million: request 100% SMART SCALE Funding as
the local commitment minimally affects score.
• TPC of $5-10 million SMART SCALE request kept to approximately $5 million or less;
increases score.
• TPC of$10-20 million: SMART SCALE request kept to $10-12 million; increases score.
• TPC greater than $20 million: SMART SCALE request kept to no more than 50% of the
TPC as high requests greatly affect score.
If awarded, local commitment amounts will be programmed within the FY 2023-24 through FY
2028-29 CIP Process.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process.
• Alternatives: Without the SMART SCALE funding from VDOT, these projects would
remain inactive and be designed and constructed as funds become available.
• Recommendations: Adopt the resolution to support the City's Applications for the 2022
VDOT SMART SCALE Program and authorize the City Manager to enter into any necessary
agreements for project development and construction.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Donate a Surplus Fire Engine and Equipment to the Alicia
Volunteer Fire Department in Alicia, Arkansas
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: The Virginia Beach Fire Department and Fleet Management have
a surplus fire engine that is no longer suitable for service for the City of Virginia Beach.
The Alicia Volunteer Fire Department in Alicia, Arkansas has inquired about taking
possession of this truck to serve their own community. Fleet Management has attempted
to sell the truck to second-hand fire apparatus dealers, the City's local vendor, and on
Govdeals.com, to no avail.
The estimated value of the apparatus is approximately $5,000 and will be a significant
upgrade to the Alicia community. The department also would like to donate equipment
that is no longer being used. This includes hose nozzles that cannot be modified to meet
the Fire Department's existing specifications, a gas-powered ventilation fan, a flat head
axe, and a halligan tool. The combined estimated value of these items is $2,500.
The total annual budget of the Alicia, Arkansas volunteer department is $5,000, which
does not allow them to purchase any other new or used fire apparatus, and their ability to
buy equipment is limited.
• Considerations: This truck is a surplus piece of equipment and is no longer of
use to the Virginia Beach Fire Department or Fleet Management. The equipment is not
currently being used by the department. All items donated will be provided in an "AS IS"
and "WITH ALL FAULTS" condition.
• Public Information: Normal agenda process.
• Alternatives: If the apparatus is not donated, then the department will continue
to try to sell the truck.
• Attachments: Ordinance

CITY OF VIR,,''GINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $5,722,478 to the FY 2022-23 School
Operating Fund and $6,472,855 to the FY 2022-23 Schools Categorical Grants
Fund
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach's Adopted Budget ordinance for FY
2022-23 appropriated $923,606,542 into the School Operating Fund and $180,570,313
into the Categorical Grants Fund.
On June 22, 2022, the Commonwealth of Virginia's 2022-2024 biennial budget (HB 30
as Enrolled) was signed into law. The final FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget for Virginia
Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS), reconciled to the final state budget, reflects a net
increase of $5,722,478 in the School Operating Fund and an additional $6,472,855 for
the Schools Categorical Grants Fund.
The additional $5,722,478 provided by the Commonwealth to the VBCPS School
Operating Fund is primarily the result of a decrease in funding for Incentive Programs,
offset by an increase in funding for Basic Aid and Lottery-Funded Programs, along with
technical adjustments the Commonwealth made to update factors such as enrollment
projections, inflation impacts, and SOL test failure rate data. VBCPS will use this School
Operating funding from the Commonwealth to provide an additional 1.0% cost of living
adjustment (COLA) for all employees.
The $6,472,855 for the Schools Categorical Grants Fund reflects the Virginia
Department of Education's recalculated cost to provide a $1,000 bonus for funded SOQ
instructional and support positions from the Federal State and Local Recovery Fund,
pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), which includes funded
SOQ instructional and support positions that were inadvertently omitted from the original
calculation. VBCPS will use these Categorical Grants federal funds to provide a $1,000
bonus payment for each SOQ-funded instructional and support position.
• Considerations: At its meeting on June 28, 2022, the School Board adopted a
resolution requesting the appropriation of an additional $5,722,478 to the FY 2022-23
School Operating Fund and $6,472,855 to the FY 2022-23 Schools Categorical Grants
Fund. This adjusts School Operating Fund revenue from the Commonwealth to

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds to CIP #100320, Parks/Special
Use Facility Development & Renovations III, from a Cash In Lieu of Park
Reservation Payment
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background: The Prosperity at the Pines Subdivision is a proposed residential
subdivision of 36 dwelling lots on a 7.703-acre parcel of land at 914 Prosperity Road,
zoned R-5D Residential District. It is a relatively small single-family residential
subdivision that is insufficient to require a large park dedication. The City Council adopted
a policy in 1995 to allow cash payments in lieu of park reservations, particularly when
park land dedications would be less than one acre. The proposed development would
yield a park dedication of only 0.462 acres, less than the 1-to-5 acre minimum size
preferred for a neighborhood park. Additionally, the residents of this subdivision will be
able to access Red Wing Park within a 10-minute walk time. Both staff and the developer
agree that providing a cash payment in lieu of park reservation is the most appropriate
option for addressing the subdivision's recreational impact. The payment would be
appropriated toward improvements at Red Wing Park.
• Considerations: Prosperity at the Pines Subdivision has agreed to the Cash in
Lieu of Park Reservation Payment in accordance with the City Council policy (attached).
The amount of the payment is based on the 0.462 acre (7,856 square feet) dedication
requirement of the subdivision, multiplied by the assessed value per acre of the entire site
($220,000), as determined by the Real Estate Assessor. The dedication requirement for
0.462 acres x $220,000 = $101,640 cash payment in lieu of park reservation.
• Alternatives: There are four options for addressing recreational/open space
requirements for residential subdivisions that have appropriate zoning: park/open space
reservation; park/open space deeded to Home Owners Association (HOA); park/open
space dedication; or a cash payment in lieu of park reservation payment. The City Council
may require the developer of the Prosperity at the Pines Subdivision to reserve, dedicate
or deed to the HOA the total parkland/open space requirement instead of making the cash
payment.
• Recommendations: Accept and appropriate the $101,640 cash payment in lieu
of park reservation payment from the Prosperity at the Pines Subdivision to Capital
Improvement Program Project 100320, "Parks/Special Use Facility Development &
Renovations III."

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of Craig M. Kirby and Kris C. Kirby for the
Closure of One-Half of an Unimproved, Unnamed Alley Adjacent to the Rear of
631 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background:
Craig M. Kirby and Kris C. Kirby (the "Applicants") requested the closure of
approximately 563 square feet of an unimproved, unnamed alley (the "Right-of-
Way") adjacent to the rear of their property located at 631 Vanderbilt Avenue
(GPIN 2426-38-4565), for the purpose of incorporating the closed area into their
adjoining property.
• Considerations:
The street closure request is consistent with City Council's policy aimed at
disposing of unimproved rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan
community. Other street closure requests similar to this request have been
approved within the Croatan neighborhood.
The Viewers determined that the closure of the Right-of-Way, with conditions set
forth below, will not result in any public inconvenience. There was no opposition to
the request.
• Recommendation:
On June 8, 2022, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this

Evaluation & Recommendation
As required by City Code, a Viewers' Meeting was held on April 22, 2022,that included City Staff from the Departments
of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning& Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney,to consider
this request. The Viewers determined that the proposed closure will not result in any public inconvenience;therefore,
closure of this portion of the right-of-way is deemed acceptable.

within the Croatan neighborhood. Consistent with those approvals, Condition 2 is recommended below whereby the
City of Virginia Beach will retain a public drainage easement over the closed portion of the alley.

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

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant is requesting to operate a two-bedroom, 617 square foot Short Term Rental unit within the Retreat by the
Sea condominium development. Short Term Rentals are prevalent on this property with currently nine approved
Conditional Use Permits for the operation of Short Term Rentals. Two parking spaces are required for this request. The
applicant has one designated parking space on-site, and the second parking space will be leased at the 9th Street
Municipal Parking Garage,which is directly across the street from the condominium development. The applicant has
submitted a Letter of Intent to Lease Form to purchase an annual contract for one unreserved parking space at the 9'
Street Municipal Parking Garage once approved by City Council. Per Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance,the
Zoning Administrator has reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable. All other requirements of Section 241.2
and Sections 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating Short-Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
The subject property lies in the Pacific Avenue corridor, which serves as the main north-south connector, including
Atlantic Avenue, in the Resort Area. As identified in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, both corridors
serve as the area where many Resort Area visitors stay and gather.Therefore, the use of the unit as a Short Term Rental
is consistent with this purpose. The unit would further provide diverse lodging opportunities for the visitors and
travelers wanting the Resort Area experience.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.

Okay. Thank you. So the next order business is the Consent Agenda, and I'm going to turn that

George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Today we have 10 items on the Consent Agenda. These items are
recommended for approval by staff and the Planning Commission has concurred and there are
no speakers signed up in opposition. Item #3, Hendricks Family Dentistry at 737 Little Neck
Road, please come forward.
Eddie Bourdon:
Thank you, Mr. Alcaraz, Mr. Chairman. For the Commission, my name's Eddie Bourdon, Virginia

professionalism in handling this matter. Thank you.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, I've asked commissioner Barry Frankenfield to read this item.
Barry Frankenfield:
All right. Thank you. Hendrick's Family Dentistry is a change in non-conformity. This building's
been here since 1966. It has been expanded one time previously. The applicant is now asking
for an additional expansion of 533 square feet. We have received building elevations that are
acceptable and very attractive and fit in with the neighborhood. In addition, they have met all the
requirements for parking and operation and those types of things. Staff has recommended
approval. The request is fairly small and modest and will not alternate... No, that's not right. Will
not alter. Thank you very much for your help. Will not alter the appearance or compatibility with
the neighborhood. So we support approval. Thank you.
George Alcaraz:

no matter whether you're for or against has been wonderful and, really, the city's blessed to
have people like you willing to serve. So thank you and enjoy Vermont.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the Consent
Agenda? Hearing none, I've asked Commissioner Bradley to read this item for the record.

that is adjacent to the rear lot line as shown. The proposal includes closure of half of the 15 foot
wide alley totaling 563 square feet and incorporating that land into the adjacent residential lot.
The site is developed consistent with other residential lots in the neighborhood with a single
family home and a fenced in backyard. Currently, the area's proposed to be closed. The area

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: LONGCREEK, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 4005 Atlantic Avenue, Unit
218 (GPIN 2428051448). COUNCIL DISTRICT 6, formerly Beach
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a one-bedroom
Short Term Rental in Unit 218 of the Oceans II Condominiums, located on the
northwest corner of Atlantic Avenue and 40th Street in the Oceanfront Resort
District. The surrounding area is a mixture of high-rise multi-family dwellings,
hotels, and other commercial and resort-oriented uses, where Short Term Rentals
are to be expected.
• Applicant submitted March 2022
• Host Compliance software was unable to identify the unit—no data available
regarding potential listings or bookings
• Registered with the Commissioner of the Revenue, no transient lodging
taxes filed
• Considerations:
Eleven Conditional Use Permits for Short Term Rentals have been approved in
this condominium complex. According to the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan
(RASAP) 2030, residential and mixed-use development in the Resort Area is
necessary to achieve the goal of a year-round resort and will enable the Resort
Area to become a more walkable community. Thus, the use of the dwelling as a
Short Term Rental helps achieve this goal by providing diverse lodging
opportunities for the visitors or travelers wanting the Resort Area experience.
There are two nearby off-site parking lots dedicated to Oceans II Condominiums,
as shown on the parking plan provided in the staff report. The applicant has one
assigned parking space (Space #7) in parking lot 1, thus, fulfilling the parking
requirement. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. Two letters of opposition
were received about the request, noting concerns of a concentration of STRs in
the immediate area and the perception that they are not being managed
appropriately. However, no Zoning violations have been found for this particular
property, and on June 14, the applicant provided written confirmation that the unit
was neither advertised nor operating as a Short Term Rental. According to the
Commissioner of the Revenue, Unit 218 has been registered with their office since
Longcreek, LLC

been filed with the COR.

Jack Wall:
Okay. Thank you. So the next order business is the Consent Agenda, and I'm going to turn that
over to our vice chair, Mr. Alcaraz, to run that portion of the meeting.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Today we have 10 items on the Consent Agenda. These items are
recommended for approval by staff and the Planning Commission has concurred and there are
no speakers signed up in opposition. Item #3, Hendricks Family Dentistry at 737 Little Neck
Road, please come forward.
Eddie Bourdon:
Thank you, Mr. Alcaraz, Mr. Chairman. For the Commission, my name's Eddie Bourdon, Virginia

professionalism in handling this matter. Thank you.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, I've asked commissioner Barry Frankenfield to read this item.
Barry Frankenfield:
All right. Thank you. Hendrick's Family Dentistry is a change in non-conformity. This building's
been here since 1966. It has been expanded one time previously. The applicant is now asking
for an additional expansion of 533 square feet. We have received building elevations that are
acceptable and very attractive and fit in with the neighborhood. In addition, they have met all the
requirements for parking and operation and those types of things. Staff has recommended
approval. The request is fairly small and modest and will not alternate... No, that's not right. Will
not alter. Thank you very much for your help. Will not alter the appearance or compatibility with
the neighborhood. So we support approval. Thank you.
George Alcaraz:

no matter whether you're for or against has been wonderful and, really, the city's blessed to
have people like you willing to serve. So thank you and enjoy Vermont.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the Consent

wide alley totaling 563 square feet and incorporating that land into the adjacent residential lot.

Dear Hank,
I want to go on record as opposing the Short Term rental requested by Longcreek, LLC for Unit 218 at 4005 Atlantic
Av. There are ample hotel rooms and other types of lodging available without adding short term rentals,or additional
short term rentals. Without an owner or management on site, it is easy for the short term renter to disobey laws and
local ordinances without recourse for those around them who have been disturbed or affected.
Please turn down this request.
Thank you,
Charlene Leahy

Dear Planing Department Members &City Council Members,
We are sending you this letter to oppose the allowance of a C.U.P. or permission to operate a STR at 4005 Atlantic Ave.,
unit 218. Longcreek LLC, owners Randy Tabor and wife Jerry Lynn Tabor also have four other units at the same address
that have been operating illegally since September 2021. those units are 110, 111, 210, 212. Randy Tabor is our Board
of Directors President, as well as his wife is also on the Board of Director. We as owners wish they would have submitted
to following the new Zoning requirements and inspections, instead of being non compliant with the city ordinance, and
these unlawful operations of short term rentals is against our code of rules, regulations, and Declaration. There willful
action to continue to operate illegally sets a standard for others which is unacceptable, and a HOA violation and a city
ordinance violation. They willfully knew of the city violation since September 2021, and Randy Tabor, alludes to the STR
required signage in our September meeting minutes, and also was present when we had our balcony inspected for our
STR, he made the remark, "we're all illegal". And yet Mr. Tabor and his wife continued to rent their above four units, and
still is according to VB records, as of May 31, 2022. We also sent a letter to management &each board member(you'll
see the Tabor's name in the following sent section of the email, suggesting board and management, send a letter to the
membership so that any STR that is not in compliance with the new STR ordinance as of September 2021, they would be
renting illegally. As of this date nothing has been sent to notify the owners to our knowledge. Also when we were in the
process of our application with the Zoning Inspector, the management and board drug their feet; giving us the okay to
place our sign where the city of VB wanted it.
So because Longcreek LLC, has deliberately ignored not following the current ordinance, we don't feel they should be
granted a fifth CUP to operate a STR. We would appreciate, The City of Virginia Beach's to support us and the other
owners who deserve better management and a non-violation building.
Respectively,
Disappointed Owners of Oceans II

Subject: Placement of Short Term Rental Sign;per,VB STR ordinance 241.2(4)
Date: Mon,Jan 24,2022 3:11 pm
Jeb and Oil Board,
In order to operate as a STR, and not be in violation of VB ordinance, owners are required now to have a STR, Zoning
Permit, to operate. One of the requirements is to have a STR identification sign, to be in compliance with the city of
Virginia Beach and not be operating illegally. We have a sign and VB has said one sign can blanket the other STRs. We
understand from Randy, that the board has a problem with the two options, of where to place the sign, that VB has
required.
Has the board voted on the sign being placed where VB wants it. If so, what was the Board's, vote? Has the board made
any contact with the city concerning other options of placement. If so please let us know what the outcome was.
1
As we all know, OII has a lot of STRs, and operating without compliance to 241.2 ordinance is operating illegally. It would
be a nice gesture, from the board, to make sure all STR owners at OII are aware of the new requirements, in order to
operate legally.
Please let us know if the board does not plan, or does not need to use the sign we have. Also if the board is going to take
a while to make their decision, please let us know so that we can move on and begin operating, again.
Thank you,
Jim&Angel Bonner, OII 209

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: THOMAS C. LOPRESTI [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 425 21st Street (GPIN
24270823130000). COUNCIL DISTRICT 6, formerly Beach
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a four-bedroom,
1,800 square-foot Short Term Rental at a single-family dwelling along 21st Street.
Constructed in 1960, the structure sits on a 7,658 square-foot parcel. The parcel
is zoned OR - Oceanfront Resort and is within the boundaries of the Oceanfront
Resort Short Term Rental Overlay District.
The lot is within a city block bounded by 21st '/2 Street to the north, Arctic Avenue
to the east, 21st Street to the south, and Baltic Avenue to the west. The
surrounding area is a mixture of single-family dwellings, duplex dwellings, multi-
family dwellings, commercial offices, commercial retail, and other resort-oriented
uses.
■ Known Short Term Rental activity as of June 23, 2022:
• Date Rental Listing First Advertised: June 21, 2018
• Conditional Use Permit Application Intake Date: April 1, 2022

• Airbnb Listing Removed June 23, 2022
• HomeAway Listing Removed June 23, 2022
• Total June 2022 Documented Stays: 2
• Property currently not listed
■ The property is currently registered with the Commissioner of the Revenue as a
short term rental. Number of taxed stays during 2022:
• January: 12 nights
• February: 3 nights
• March: 12 nights
• April: 4 nights
• May: 17 nights
• Considerations:
The subject property is near the eastern terminus of Interstate 264, which serves
as a main gateway to the Oceanfront Resort Area. As identified in the Resort Area
Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, the 21 st & 22nd Street Gateways serve as a
major corridor through Central Beach, providing access to the Boardwalk and the
beachfront via the ViBe Creative District, the Old Beach Neighborhood, and other
significant resort destinations. The site's mature trees afford vital urban greenery.
Along with the quaint mid-century architecture and the structure's human scale,
the property largely conforms to the intended goals of the Oceanfront Resort
District Form-Based Code Design Guidelines. Additionally, the use would further
diversify lodging opportunities for visitors and travelers who frequent the Virginia
Beach Oceanfront. Given these considerations, the use of the single-family
dwelling as a Short Term Rental is also consistent with this Gateway's purpose to
create a sense of welcome and arrival to tourists and residents alike.
There is a parking area along the alleyway at the rear of the property that has
historically been used for parking for this site. The parking area exceeds the
minimum area necessary to accommodate the four required parking spaces. The
applicant is agreeable to laying permeable pavers in the parking area to provide
an improved surface. Per Section 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance, parking spaces
created to comply with this condition shall not add additional impervious area to
the site. All other requirements of Section 241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning
Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this
application. Staff received five letters of support for this application from neighbors
in the surrounding area. There is no known opposition to this request. Based on
the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the
conditions listed below.

The applicant is requesting to operate a four-bedroom, 1,800 square-foot Short Term Rental in a residential dwelling
along 2152 Street. The parcel is located in the Oceanfront Resort (OR) Short Term Rental Overlay District, where Short
Term Rental use is to be expected. 425 21st Street is a single-family home constructed in 1960. The lot is within a city
block bounded by 21"Y2 Street to the north, Arctic Avenue to the east, 21st Street to the south, and Baltic Avenue to the
west. The surrounding area is a mixture of single-family dwellings, duplex dwellings, multi-family dwellings, commercial
offices, commercial retail, and other resort-oriented uses.
The subject property is near the eastern terminus of Interstate 264, which serves as a main gateway to the Oceanfront
Resort Area. As identified in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, the 21st& 22nd Street Gateways serve as
a major corridor through Central Beach, providing access to the Boardwalk and the beachfront via the ViBe Creative

approval. The request is fairly small and modest and will not alternate... No, that's not right. Will
not alter. Thank you very much for your help. Will not alter the appearance or compatibility with

Hello Mr. Luckenbach,
I am writing you today in support of Thomas Lopresti receiving approval for his CUP to allow him to have a short term
rental. I currently live on 23rd St and believe that the added revenue generated through the lodging taxes collected by
STR's is a great income source for the City. We are a resort town and should be maximizing our income producing
potential.
I have been in the housing business for a long time and it's been my experience that STR owners are much more
conscientious landlords than long term lessors. Because of the turnover, owners/landlords are forced to maintain their
properties on a weekly basis vs long term rentals which may not get attention by owners for years.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns, but I strongly support this approval.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CRAIG & APRIL DEAN [Applicants & Property Owners] Conditional Use
Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 515 20th Street (GPIN
24179798080000). COUNCIL DISTRICT 6, formerly Beach
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a two-bedroom,
1,647 square-foot Short Term Rental within the rear dwelling unit of a duplex
structure along 20th 1/2 Street. Constructed in 1972, the structure sits on a 7,800
square-foot parcel. The parcel is zoned OR - Oceanfront Resort and is within the
boundaries of the Oceanfront Resort Short Term Rental Overlay District.
The parcel is within a city block bounded by 20th 1/2 Street to the north, Baltic
Avenue to the east, 20th Street to the south, and Mediterranean Avenue to the
west. The surrounding area is a mixture of single-family dwellings, duplex
dwellings, multi-family dwellings, commercial offices, commercial retail, and other
resort-oriented uses.
■ Known Short Term Rental activity as of June 23, 2022:
• Date Rental Listing First Advertised: June 30, 2018
• Conditional Use Permit Application Intake Date: April 1, 2022
• Applicant notified they cannot continue to advertise or operate as a
short term rental while going through the Conditional Use Permit
process
• Listing Activity Since Conditional Use Permit Application Received:
• Airbnb Listing Removed June 12, 2022
■ The property is not currently registered with the Commissioner of the
Revenue and has not filed taxes as a short term rental
• Considerations:
The subject property is near the eastern terminus of Interstate 264, which serves
as a main gateway to the Oceanfront Resort Area. As identified in the Resort Area
Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, the 21 st & 22nd Street Gateways serve as a
major corridor through Central Beach, providing access to the Boardwalk and the
beachfront via the ViBe Creative District, the Old Beach Neighborhood, and other
significant resort destinations. With the structure's human scale and humble
bungalow-style architecture, the property largely conforms to the intended goals of
the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code Design Guidelines. Additionally,
Craig & April Dean
Page 2 of 5
the use would further diversify lodging opportunities for visitors and travelers who
frequent the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Given these considerations, the use of the
dwelling unit as a Short Term Rental is also consistent with this Gateway's purpose
to create a sense of welcome and arrival to tourists and residents alike.
There is a rear parking area along the alleyway which provides area beyond the
minimum standard to accommodate the two required parking spaces. All other
requirements of Section 241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance
regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this application. There
is no known opposition to this request. Based on the considerations above, Staff
recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
• Recommendation:
On June 8, 2022, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant is requesting to operate a two-bedroom, 1,647 square-foot Short Term Rental within a duplex structure.
The dwelling is located along 20th Street in the Oceanfront Resort (OR) Short Term Rental Overlay District,where Short
Term Rental use is to be expected. Constructed in 1972, 515 20th Street occupies the rear portion of the structure,while
513 20th Street is the adjacent unit at the front. The parcel is within a city block bounded by 20th%2 Street to the north,
Baltic Avenue to the east, 20th Street to the south, and Mediterranean Avenue to the west. The surrounding area is a
mixture of single-family dwellings, duplex dwellings, multi-family dwellings, commercial offices, commercial retail, and
other resort-oriented uses.
The subject property is near the eastern terminus of Interstate 264,which serves as a main gateway to the Oceanfront
Resort Area.As identified in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, the 215t& 22"d Street Gateways serve as
a major corridor through Central Beach, providing access to the Boardwalk and the beachfront via the ViBe Creative
District, the Old Beach Neighborhood, and other significant resort destinations.The site's mature trees afford vital urban
greenery.Along with the quaint mid-century architecture and the structure's human scale,the use of the property as a
Short Term Rental is consistent with the intended goals of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code Design
Guidelines. Additionally,the use would further diversify lodging opportunities for visitors and travelers who frequent the
Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Given these considerations,the use of the dwelling unit as a Short Term Rental is also
consistent with this Gateway's purpose to create a sense of welcome and arrival to tourists and residents alike.
There is a rear parking area along the alleyway which provides area beyond the minimum standard to accommodate the
two required parking spaces. All other requirements of Section 241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance
regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this application.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.

Jack Wall:
Okay. Thank you. So the next order business is the Consent Agenda, and I'm going to turn that
over to our vice chair, Mr. Alcaraz, to run that portion of the meeting.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Today we have 10 items on the Consent Agenda. These items are
recommended for approval by staff and the Planning Commission has concurred and there are
no speakers signed up in opposition. Item #3, Hendricks Family Dentistry at 737 Little Neck
Road, please come forward.
Eddie Bourdon:
Thank you, Mr. Alcaraz, Mr. Chairman. For the Commission, my name's Eddie Bourdon, Virginia
Beach attorney representing the Hendricks family and the dentistry practice. Harlan Hendricks
has come down... Excuse me. Clay Hendricks has come down today for this hearing. We
appreciate this matter being on the consent agenda. All five conditions as recommended by
staff are acceptable to us and greatly appreciate Marchelle Coleman's assistance and
professionalism in handling this matter. Thank you.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing
none, I've asked commissioner Barry Frankenfield to read this item.
Barry Frankenfield:
All right. Thank you. Hendrick's Family Dentistry is a change in non-conformity. This building's
been here since 1966. It has been expanded one time previously. The applicant is now asking
for an additional expansion of 533 square feet. We have received building elevations that are
acceptable and very attractive and fit in with the neighborhood. In addition, they have met all the
requirements for parking and operation and those types of things. Staff has recommended
approval. The request is fairly small and modest and will not alternate... No, that's not right. Will
not alter. Thank you very much for your help. Will not alter the appearance or compatibility with
the neighborhood. So we support approval. Thank you.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Frankenfield. The next item, item #4 is Craig and Chris Kirby at 631 Vanderbilt

being on the Consent Agenda. And if I could, Ms. Klein, we are going to miss you. Your
representation of Centerville and the citizens as a whole, with the enthusiasm and good cheer,
no matter whether you're for or against has been wonderful and, really, the city's blessed to
have people like you willing to serve. So thank you and enjoy Vermont.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the Consent
Agenda? Hearing none, I've asked Commissioner Bradley to read this item for the record.

recommended this for approval and since there's no opposition, we've put it on our Consent

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 111 OF THE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE TO ADD TERMS RELATED TO ENERGY STORAGE
FACILITIES. AN ORDINANCE TO ADD SECTION 225.02 TO THE CITY
ZONING ORDINANCE TO ADD REQUIREMENTS TO ENERGY STORAGE
FACILITIES. AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 1001 OF THE CITY
ZONING ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE ENERGY STORAGE FACILITY AS A USE
PERMITTED WITH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IN THE I-1 AND 1-2
DISTRICTS. (SPONSORED BY VICE-MAYOR WILSON)
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2022
• Background:
This proposed amendment was deferred by the City Council on April 5, 2022, in
order to provide additional time for study.
Economic Development has received unsolicited requests to place energy storage
facilities within the city. Energy Storage Facilities are currently not permitted as the
use is not defined within the Zoning Ordinance. With the various renewable energy
projects within the city, energy storage facilities are necessary to achieve
maximum performance of these facilities. This amendment is sponsored by Vice
Mayor Wilson.
The purpose of this ordinance to add energy storage facility as a Conditional Use
in the I-1 District (Light Industrial) and in the 1-2 District (Heavy Industrial). Energy
Storage Facility will be added to Section 111 of the Zoning Ordinance defined as
"Energy storage equipment or technology that can absorb energy, store such
energy for a period of time, and redeliver energy after it has been stored. This term
includes battery storage facilities."
• Considerations:
This ordinance will add energy storage facilities as a use in the Zoning Ordinance
and include applicable regulations and restrictions.
The ordinance considers the risk of fire associated with a battery storage use by
proposing a 100-foot setback from all property lines to protect surrounding
properties from the risk of fire. The use is proposed with a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) in both districts, allowing City Council to require the most current and most
appropriate, site-specific fire prevention plans as part of the CUP in addition to the
ordinance required 100 foot setback. Examples of current fire prevention
City of Virginia Beach — Energy Storage Facilities

measures recommended by Dominion Energy (one group proposing this use)
include:
• 25 foot spacing or appropriate firewalls between groups of containers (less
than 6MWh per group)
• Battery management system (BMS) to monitor voltage, temperature,
humidity, off-gassing, fire, ground fault, and DC surge
• BMS will be able to safely shut down system prior to occurrence of thermal
runaway events
• Adequate facility signage on Hazardous Materials present in the vicinity
• Fire detection system and system appropriate sensors and alarms
• System-specific emergency response plan and adequate access/egress for
first responders
• Training for first responders on the potential hazards and risks
The Fire Marshall's Office's concerns with this type of use include:
• Access to the site
o Mitigated through the site plan process
• Smoke during a fire event
o Mitigated through the requirement of a monitoring system to quickly
alert the Fire Department in the case of a fire
• Rekindling after a fire event
o Mitigated through the required emergency action plan
As these proposed plans can vary, they will need to be submitted with any
conditional use permit for review by staff (including the Fire Marshall's Office) to
assure all safety measures will be met. Further discussions were held with the Fire
Marshall's Office and language was added that clarified existing requirements from
other codes and ordinances with no substantive changes to the requirements.
Further details pertaining to the ordinance, as well as Staffs evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. The next order of business is the consideration of requests to
withdraw or defer an item. Please come forward if you have any items to be withdrawn. Okay.
Seeing none, please come forward if you have any items to be deferred. Okay, all right. Thank
you. The next order of this is the consent agenda and I'm going to turn that over to the vice chair
to run that portion of the meeting.
George Alcaraz:
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Today we have four items on the consent agenda. These applications
that are recommended for approval by staff and the Planning Commission have concurred and
the... I'm sorry. And there are no speakers signed for in opposition at this time. Is that correct?
Okay. Item number one, An Ordinance to amend Section 111 of the City Zoning Ordinance to
add terms related to energy storage facilities, an Ordinance to add Sections 225.02 City Zoning
Ordinance to add requirements to energy storage facilities, an Ordinance to amend Sections
1001 of the City Zoning Ordinance to include energy storage facility as a use permit with a
conditional use permit in the I-1 and 1-2 Industrial Districts, and I'm asking the Zoning
Administrator, please come forward and present this agenda.
Hannah Sabo:
Thank you. Yes, this amendment was sponsored by Vice Mayor Wilson. It does include three
portions. The first portion is an amendment to Section 111 of the City's Zoning Ordinance to add
the definitions of energy storage facility and decommissioning. The second portion is adding
Section 225.02 to the Zoning Ordinance that would add the requirements to the energy storage
facilities as a new use, including a hundred foot setback and landscaping requirements and
decommissioning. And then the last portion is an Ordinance to amend Section 1001 of the
Zoning Ordinance to include energy storage facilities as a use permitted in the I-1 and 1-2
Industrial Districts, both with a conditional use permit.

Local Permitting Considerations for Energy Storage ll __
Primary Require energy storage projects to be developed,designed and constructed in such a manner as to
Concern I purposefully limit opportunities for fire,explosion,or other safety and environmental hazards
System Design • Allow flexibilityforvarious types of installations so long as theyadhere to state and nationalcodes and standards
• Battery racks installed according to NFPA 855 standards to facilitate isolation of failed batteries
Site Plan/Visibility • Minimum of 100-foot setbacks from residential or site boundaries;appropriate vegetative buffers
• Recommended 25-foot spacing or appropriate firewalls between groups of containers(less than 6 MWh per group)
Safe Operation • Battery management system (BMS)to monitorvoltage,temperature,humidity,off-gassing,fire,ground faun,and DC surge
• BMS will be able to safely shut down system prior to occurrence of thermal runaway events
Safety Disclosures • Adequate facilitysignage(chemistry and contact person)and accessible Safety Data Sheets
• Adequate facilitysignage on Hazardous Materials present in the vicinity
Emergency Detection • Fire detection system and no utilization of automatic fire suppression
• System appropriate sensors and alarms
Emergency Response • System-specific emergency response plan and adequate access/egress for first responders
• Training for first responders on the potential hazards and risks
Water Management • Stormwater management plan requirements
• BESS enclosure or cabinet will provide a secondary layer of physical containment
Decommissioning • Require site restoration at end of useful life and decommissioning
• Consider appropriate level of decommissioning reserves supported by escrow or balance sheet

Taxing Solar/Storage Projects "SolTax"
• Virginia lawmakers approved changes to how solar and storage • The University of Virginia and DM ME have developed a tool
projects are taxed;choice of property tax(M&T with pollution called "SolTax" to help localities determine the optimal choice
control tax exemptions)or energy tax (revenue share) for obtaining tax revenue.Model to be updated to reflect
• Recent 2021 legislation has been passed that increases the legislative changes.

g 9 ,i
Siting Agreements for Solar/ Storage Projects
• Recent legislation permits local governments and project
developers to negotiate business terms and conditions .-
for approval of solar and storage projects. M
• Must be reasonably related to the project but may
include dedications of real property and funding for '`
important local capital projects:
• Items in the locality's capital improvement plan;
• Funds for deployment of broadband.
-11
Other Key Points
• Approval automatically deems solar/storage projects in
substantial accord with the comprehensive plan.
• Developer still files land use applications regardless of
whether an agreement is reached.
• Siting agreement may supersede provisions of the zoning
ordinance if agreement is reached. -
