June 6, 2023 14 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#74283 (Continued) Council Member Holcomb advised he is the Council Liaison for the Urban Agricultural Advisory Committee (UAAC) and while he was not on City Council when it was established, it is time to have members appointed to it and have it stood up. Council Member Holcomb believes it will be beneficial for the six(6)new Council Members to hold a Public Hearing on the UAAC to hear testimony from the public. Vice Mayor Wilson expressed support for the Public Hearing,advising this has lingered and the Body needs to decide if people should be appointed or not. Mayor Dyer advised the Public Hearing will allow both sides of the public to express their feelings on the issue and then the Body can have a discussion on the way ahead. Council Member Schulman advised the Body has a lot of business on its plate to address before addressing outdoor animals. Council Member Taylor advised he recently had a lengthy discussion with a constituent concerning exotic ducks and agrees with Council Member Schulman but does not want to delay acting on this issue much longer. Council Member Berlucchi advised it is important to hear from the public but would like to hear from staff first in order to understand the legal landscape of this issue such as public health and public policy. Mayor Dyer gained consensus from Council Member Holcomb to start addressing this issue with a staff briefing to gain a baseline understanding. Council Member Taylor asked if this will be the process going forward, if there was support for a joint meeting with the School Board in the fall? Council Member Taylor advised there are some contentious issues concerning school modernization and the PPEA, and was informed members of the School Board previously requested to have a joint meeting and asked if there was any objection to holding a joint meeting? Vice Mayor Wilson advised she is aware there are several meetings that are occurring for the different schools that are part of the PPEA and would like to look at the best time to schedule a joint meeting in the fall. City Manager Duhaney advised the five-year forecast is held with the School Board in the fall and suggested including time on the Agenda. City Manager Duhaney further advised the school funding formula agreement will expire next year and requested the Body's guidance on how to move forward. Mayor Dyer advised with Dr. Spence's resignation, it will be best to give the School Board time to hire a new School Superintendent and believes waiting until the fall will be best to allow the new Superintendent time to get adjusted. City Manager Duhaney requested clarification for the specific topics to be included in the UAAC briefing? June 6, 2023 15 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#74283 (Continued) Mayor Dyer advised there are legal and medical issues as well as operational. Council Member Berlucchi emphasized his request for a staff briefing is to have an unbiased briefing of facts of the variety of considerations the Body will be tasked with addressing. Council Member Berlucchi explained he wants to have a complete understanding in order to respond to citizens on either side of the issue. City Attorney Stiles advised when the UAAC was established, it was going to be tasked with taking up multiple issues and then it would provide the Body briefings on the issues. City Attorney Stiles asked if the staff briefing requested now is to address if the UAAC should be stood up or what issues the UAAC should address such as chickens,potbelly pigs or recycling since each one of those issues may present different health and safety concerns? Council Member Ross-Hammond pointed out that this is what Council Member Schulman was saying concerning the pending serious business the Body has on its plate, adding not that this is not serious, but the Body should get priority issues in order and then have the briefing. Council Member Wooten advised the UAAC was formed to research issues and referenced the Citizen Review Panel Task Force and how helpful it was in creating the Independent Citizen Review Board. Council Member Rouse asked if the UAAC or staff is researching the issues? Council Member Berlucchi advised he is asking that staff provide a briefing on what issues are coming up around the City without taking a position and then if the UAAC will be stood up, they would take a position on the issue and make a recommendation to the Body.

NOW THEREFORE, the signatory parties enter into the following Agreement. This Agreement effective as of the first day of July 2023, among and between the eighteen local governments in Hampton Roads and the HRPDC, establishes and maintains the Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Management Program. BASIC PREMISES All local governments in Hampton Roads operate stormwater management programs. The Cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach received VPDES Permits in 1996. Those permits, which were renewed in 2001, govern the discharges from their MS4s to waters of the state and impose certain operational and reporting requirements on those systems. In 2005, these permits were converted to VSMP permits. These permits must be renewed on a 5 year basis and the localities applied for renewed permits in 2005. Localities operated programs under administratively continued permits until June 30, 2016. The existing permits became effective on July 1, 2016 and have been administratively continued since June 30, 2021. The Cities of Poquoson, Suffolk, and Williamsburg, and the Counties of Gloucester, Isle of Wight, James City, and York were all identified by the EPA as requiring VPDES permits under Phase II of the MS4 regulations. Those localities that operate MS4s obtained VPDES permits in March 2003. Those permits also imposed certain operational and reporting requirements on those systems. In 2005, these permits were converted to VSMP permits. These permits must be renewed on a 5 year basis with the next renewal planned for 2023. On April 15, 2016, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality notified Isle of Wight County that their Phase II MS4 Permit would be terminated because the County neither owned nor operated a small MS4 within the census-defined urbanized area. Isle of Wight County does not currently own or maintain stormwater systems outside of County-owned properties. Revised February 9, 2023 2 Although Gloucester County was initially identified by the EPA as requiring a Phase II MS4 permit, it was subsequently determined that permit coverage for Gloucester County was not required. The City of Franklin, the Counties of Gloucester, Isle of Wight, Southampton and Surry and the Towns of Smithfield and Windsor are governed by stormwater management requirements established under the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law. The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act also governs Gloucester and Surry Counties and the Towns of Smithfield and Windsor. As of July 1, 2014, all localities have implemented stormwater management programs that meet the minimum requirements established in the Virginia Stormwater Management Act. The Virginia Stormwater Management Act imposes operational and reporting requirements on all localities that are required to implement stormwater management programs. The local governments are interested in managing stormwater in a manner which protects and does not degrade waters of the Commonwealth and which meets locally established quality of life goals and objectives. The Clean Water Act and the VSMP require that stormwater quantity and quality be managed to the maximum extent practicable. In carrying out their stormwater management responsibilities, the local governments have developed a consensus on regional goals to guide the operation of their stormwater management programs. Initially, as approved by the HRPDC at its Executive Committee Meeting of September 15, 1999, these goals are to: 1. Manage stormwater quantity and quality to the maximum extent practicable, including: • Implement best management practices (BMPs) and retrofit flood control projects to provide water quality benefits. • Support site planning and plan review activities. • Manage pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer applications. 2. Implement public information activities to increase citizen awareness and support for the program. 3. Meet the following needs of citizens: • Address flooding and drainage problems. • Maintain the stormwater infrastructure. • Protect waterways. • Provide the appropriate funding for the program. 4. Implement cost-effective and flexible program components. 5. Satisfy MS4 stormwater permit requirements: Revised February 9, 2023 3 • Enhance erosion and sedimentation control. • Manage illicit discharges, spill response, and remediation. This Agreement establishes the administrative framework, which will be used by the local governments in Hampton Roads to address certain stormwater management requirements under the above-cited state and federal laws and regulations. Eighteen local governments in the Hampton Roads Region will be participants in and signatories to the Agreement. HRPDC RESPONSIBILITIES Under the terms of this Agreement, the HRPDC staff must: • Provide technical support and policy analysis related to stormwater and water quality issues to local government staff. • Provide the necessary administrative, technical and clerical resources to support program activities to ensure that the MS4 permit-holding cities and counties meet applicable stormwater management requirements. • Prepare an annual work program and budget for the Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Management Program. The annual work program will be incorporated into the HRPDC Unified Planning Work Program and the annual budget will be incorporated into the HRPDC budget. • Assist the signatories in coordinating reporting on stormwater related activities to other state and federal agencies to ensure that program requirements are met in a cost-effective manner, that minimizes duplicative reporting and the administrative burden on the signatories. • Conduct a regional stormwater education program. This will include public education activities and may include outreach to specific economic sectors and groups. The stormwater education subcommittee of askHRgreen.org will be responsible for guiding the development of original materials, including publications, media advertising and promotional items. This may also include development of locality-specific materials or coordination of bulk purchases. The stormwater education subcommittee of askHRgreen.org will coordinate with HRPDC staff on the educational and outreach components of the Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Management Program. • Develop and conduct a regional training program for municipal employees, contractors, civic leaders, and other interested parties. The training program will emphasize stormwater management, pollution prevention and permit issues. Revised February 9, 2023 4 • Respond equitably and in a timely fashion to requests from all signatory local governments for technical assistance. The time frame for responses will be based on experience, the complexity of individual requests and the overall work load of program staff. • Provide other technical support, as requested, to the signatory local governments. • Upon request from one or more participating localities, conduct technical studies to support compliance by the localities with MS4 permit requirements and VSMP program requirements. • Facilitate development of multi-jurisdictional management plans for shared watersheds, as requested. • Take steps, in conjunction with the signatory local governments, to obtain financial support for program activities from outside sources, including state, federal and private grants, to the extent that this may be accomplished without creating a conflict of interest, as determined by the signatory local governments. • Contract with and manage consultants, including both private firms and academic institutions, to support the regional program, including provision of requested services to local governments in excess of the common program elements. • Represent the Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Management Program at federal, state, regional and local governmental, civic, professional and political organizations, agencies, and committees. • Provide technical and administrative support, as appropriate, to those localities that are required to develop stormwater management programs to meet VSMP requirements, but that are not required to obtain MS4 permits for their stormwater discharges. • Prepare annual program reports, or components thereof, which comply with the provisions of the MS4 permits and stormwater management programs of the signatory localities. • Facilitate local government involvement in TMDL studies being prepared through the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and EPA and facilitate preparation of TMDL Implementation Plans for impaired waters in the Hampton Roads Region as requested. • Prepare an annual report of activities undertaken through the Hampton Roads Stormwater Management Program. This report will include summaries of related activities undertaken on a cooperative basis by the signatories. • Identify state and federal regulatory actions that may affect local government stormwater programs, serve on regulatory advisory panels (RAPs) as necessary, Revised February 9, 2023 5 conduct policy analysis, and develop policy recommendations on behalf of the HRPDC. • Coordinate the compilation of regional data for MS4 permit annual reports to the appropriate regulatory authority, as appropriate. LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES Under the terms of the Agreement, the signatory local governments must: • Participate, as appropriate, in the Regional Environmental Committee to represent the local government's respective stormwater and water quality related concerns. • Appoint a representative and alternates, as appropriate, to the stormwater education subcommittee of askHRgreen.orq. • Provide, in a timely fashion, all locally generated data required by their MS4 permits and such other data as may be necessary to accomplish locally requested services. • Provide timely technical review of HRPDC analyses and conclusions. • Participate in regional efforts to conduct public outreach and education activities regarding the Commonwealth's TMDL study process and efforts to develop TMDL Implementation Plans for impaired waters lying within the locality or within watersheds that include the locality. • Provide input on regulatory issues to HRPDC staff and serve on RAPs or provide input to the regional RAP representative as appropriate. • Reasonably support HRPDC efforts to obtain additional funding to support the regional programs to the extent that this may be accomplished without creating a conflict of interest, as determined by the signatory local governments. • Provide annual funding to support the agreed-upon regional program, subject to annual appropriation. METHOD OF FINANCING The majority of program costs will be allocated according to a formula reflecting each locality's share of the regional population. Costs for additional projects or services will be allocated based on a formula developed by the HRPDC staff and approved by the HRPDC with the concurrence of the signatory local governments. For example, in the past, the cost of legal services have been split between the localities with MS4 permits and the Revised February 9, 2023 6 maintenance costs for the regional online BMP database were split by the subset of localities still using the system. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS Performance by the HRPDC of its responsibilities under this Agreement is subject to the availability of funding from the signatory local governments. Failure of the local governments to provide the necessary funding to support these activities will constitute a Notice to Modify or Terminate the Agreement. MODIFICATIONS Modifications to this Agreement must be expressly written, approved by the HRPDC, and accepted by all signatories.

The intent of the sign regulations set forth in this section is to: 486 487 (1) Encourage signage that enhances the overall aesthetics of the Pembroke 488 Strategic Growth Area; 489 490 (2) Ensure that the public benefits derived from past and future expenditures of 491 public funds for the infrastructure improvements and beautification of the streets 492 and public spaces are protected by preventing visual clutter caused by excessive 493 or poorly placed signage; 494 495 (3) Encourage signage that is reflective of the aesthetics and character of its 496 location and compatible with, and integrated into, the building's architectural 497 design and with other signs on the property; 498 499 (4) Provide incentives for high-quality signage by increasing signage allowances 500 for signs that conform to the Central Business Core District Design Guidelines; 501 and 502 503 (5) Encourage creativity by providing flexibility to utilize signage not only as a 504 means of identifying a business establishment but as a decorative feature to 505 enhance the appearance of a building as well. 506 507 (b) Findings. The City Council finds that: 508 509 (1) Signs have a strong visual impact on the character and quality of a 510 community. They are an integral part of the cityscape and, as such, can enhance 511 or detract from the City's image and character. As a prominent part of the 512 cityscape, they can attract or repel the viewer and affect the safety of vehicular 513 traffic, and their suitability helps to define the way in which a community is 514 perceived. Because the City of Virginia Beach relies on the attractiveness of the 515 Town Center area to attract tourists and commerce,aesthetic considerations are 516 directly related to economic value. Apart from economic considerations, however, 18 517 there are intangible benefits for a community in which signage is orderly and 518 attractive; 519 520 (2) The City's current sign regulations address characteristics such as the size 521 and number of signs, but generally do not address other characteristics, such as 522 design, that are equally important in promoting an attractive, urban downtown 523 area. 524 525 (3) Design standards for signage are used in many other localities that are known 526 for their attractiveness and appeal to residents and visitors alike, and have been 527 well-accepted by both businesses and the public as a means of enhancing the 528 overall appearance and prosperity of the community; and 529 530 (4) Providing incentives for businesses to display signage that conforms to 531 voluntary design guidelines is an appropriate means of encouraging those 532 businesses to use well-designed, highly attractive signs that harmonize with the 533 buildings on which they are displayed, the surrounding neighborhood, and other 534 signage in the area. 535 536 (c) Establishment of special sign district.

This research is focused on the primary study area of the Bow Creek neighborhood as a prototypical case study to develop guidelines for homeowners and communities across the SGA, Suburban, and Suburban-transition areas mapped on page 3. Bow Creek was selected as the primary study area because development patterns and flooding issues in the area are similar to many communities throughout Virginia Beach. Because of these similarities,these guidelines and best practices can be followed in any residential area of Virginia Beach. Bow Creek Area Flood Resiliency Toolkit This document will provide guidance, flood resiliency strategies and best practices for residents of existing homes in the Bow Creek area and can be applied to homes and neighborhoods across Virginia Beach. Opportunities for integrating stormwater management facilities will be identified while simultaneously addressing flood mitigation, passive and active recreation, beautification, neighborhood accessibility and connectivity. It will illustrate streetscape design concepts that support and enhance vehicular and non- vehicular transportation. The primary goal of this toolkit is to promote community resiliency and adapt to the changing environment by supporting sustainability while improving the overall health, safety, and welfare of the community. Goals and Objectives Quality of Life • Development that supports high-quality and diverse lifestyles • Create new opportunities to live,work, and play in every citizen's neighborhood of choice • Improve connectivity for all modes of travel Community Resiliency • Adapt to a changing environment • Support environmental and neighborhood sustainability • Improve the overall health,safety, and welfare of the community INTRE DUCTI -N Purpose of the Toolkit it - , . .

These areas along Holland Road are higher in elevation in relation to the neighborhoods within the Bow Creek area and in their current state and configurations could likely be adding to the issues of flooding. One substantial improvement currently under construction is the Bow Creek Stormwater park. According to the City of Virginia Beach: "Bow Creek Storm water Park will benefit Windsor Woods,Princess Anne Plaza,and The Lakes neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are located in what was once the undeveloped headwaters of the Lynnhaven River.According to aerial photos from 1949, the area was originally forest surrounded by farmland. Much of the area has relatively low elevations. Low elevations,coupled with increasing sea levels(approximately one foot over the last 50 years)and the increasing frequency of storms with significant tides and rainfall amounts, have resulted in severe flooding of the neighborhood during extreme events." Potential solutions include: • Construction of barriers and gates to minimize tidal flooding • Construction of stormwater pump stations • Additional stormwater storage capacity • Increasing the conveyance capacity of the stormwater pipes LEGEND Q PIER (,,sti CLUB HDDGE ROAD PLAN LEGEND 0 OVERLOOK F '.

"Flood[damage]-resistant material"is defined by the NFIP as"any building product[material,component or system]capable of withstanding direct and prolonged contact with floodwaters without sustaining significant damage."The term"prolonged contact"means at least 72 hours, and the term"significant damage"means any damage requiring more than cosmetic repair."Cosmetic repair"includes cleaning,sanitizing, and resurfacing(e.g.,sanding,repair of joints,re-painting)of the material.The cost of cosmetic repair should also be less than the cost of replacement of affected materials and systems. In addition to these requirements,individual materials that are considered flood damage- resistant must not cause degradation of adjacent materials or the systems of which the material is a part. Retrofitting or Remodeling-When retrofitting or remodeling any aspect of your home,you should take every possible hazard into consideration but primarily focus on those that are a greater risk.For most homes in the Hampton Roads area,flooding and wind damage should be heavily considered.Improvements made to your home in order to increase resistance to the effects of natural hazards should focus on those items that will potentially give you the largest benefit in return. As mentioned above,you should check your flood insurance policy prior to doing any work to your home if it includes materials below the BFE. The following list includes some materials to consider when performing any level of remodeling or retrofitting on your home. 1 �' . 1 , - l i Siding-For wind resistance,use high-wind vinyl siding with ;• double nailing hem,fiber cement siding,or heartwood of , naturally durable species.

Residents of the Bow Creek area and neighborhoods throughout the city of Virginia Beach see the value in their existing multi-use paths walkways and enjoy the available connectivity.These pathways should incorporate adequate lighting to provide safe means of transportation and encourage outdoor exercise and activities.The possible inclusion of golf cart communities was discussed in several open house meetings with focus group members and might be looked at as an option for multi-modal transportation to and from adjacent commercial areas.The Virginia Beach Complete Streets policies should be incorporated into neighborhood connectivity in order to insure adequate and safe pedestrian travel for all residents,including regulations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA). The goals of the City's adopted complete streets policy include: • Consider all users in all aspects of the project development process for surface transportation. • Match and balance roadway functions with user needs,both at the roadway segment level and as part of the larger transportation networks. • Develop the public rights-of-way in harmony with the adjacent land uses. • Develop an attractive and sustainable transportation system. • Promote public health by supporting healthy lifestyle choices and improved air quality. • Promote safety and accident reduction. • Increase the economic value of business districts and neighborhoods. •t� : ,46„ CAA' • #��" rr'� , �..} 3°`\: ;7 , �f+P� _- r... •.:. �, 1 • ii* , vim." `et . id �' r , z •ywil '' 1 .d iA. r� �t 12 Y : 7 +' —4-1kJ r:ITIOP ,,,,,AV,. �.y .`'• - I r rt. l OP' Multi-Use Path Intersection- The path allows for safe,non-vehicular transportation,however it terminates into the commercial area with no direct connection.

This research is focused on the primary study area of Bow Creek as a prototypical case study to develop guidelines to assist with the compatibility between commercial redevelopment and existing residential communities. Bow Creek was selected as the primary study area because development patterns and flooding issues in the area are similar to many communities throughout the Suburban areas of Virginia Beach. Because of these similar development patterns,these guidelines can be followed and tailored to commercial areas across the Suburban and Suburban-commercial transition areas mapped on page 3. This pattern book provides a step-by-step visualization for redevelopment of existing commercial sites that is compatible with adjacent neighborhoods and stated community goals.Additionally, this document also provides typical illustrations for improving stormwater management as well as pedestrian connectivity and accessibility between commercial and residential areas. Who is this Pattern Book For? This pattern book is intended to be used as a conversation-starter between communities, developers, and Planning Staff in the early stages of the development/redevelopment process. It has been created by incorporating information from public input events and stakeholder groups in the study area communities, allowing developers to have a better understanding of what the neighborhoods and communities are looking for in order to make the overall development process more predictable. The Pattern Book should be used by property owners and developers, citizens and citizen groups, Design Review Committees, Planning Commission, City Council, and City Staff when planning or reviewing proposed developments within the primary study areas in this book, as well as other Suburban Areas in Virginia Beach. Goals and Objectives: Quality of Life • New development that supports high-quality and diverse lifestyles • Create new opportunities to live,work, and play in every citizen's neighborhood of choice • Improve multimodal connectivity between residential and commercial areas Community Resiliency • Provide strategies and techniques to help adapt to changing the environment • Support environmentally sustainable design and development • Improve the overall health,safety,and welfare of the community . 1 s k Ili , vii , ,AA -----4 \ -_, \ i• / ....,. ,. ,,,, , _ ,r ..__:„., _f---- _ . :_, k,..-- ,. , 4. , ____ _____„__ . . . ___ fir.=;; 7 �, �- - - ,- : ( - 7\ ma , - d •1':a— Y // .,- . i1/4 .... c.i., N.. ,, „. 1 ___ ,,,-/ I wicretac vor :., Parks&Recreation `, ,, : . v .. z , f 4 M Suburban Areas ° ��--�# ;`: '.-- , otIM"`� v � 4' Suburban Focus Areas sk 1\ a 7 Strategic Growth Areas E � a N s Green Line /)C .- - J Bow Creek Primary Study Area �� . � ` f ���" _� LYNNHAVEN SGA 1.

It was important to talk with users of every level which include: „ vr • Property owners / • Residents , • Business owners • City of Virginia Beach staff in various departments, Open House meeting with City of Virginia Beach staff to teview focus group results and pattern book/toolkit concepts including those working on the new Bow Creek Resilience Park project To address each of these groups, a multi-day, multi-part engagement process was developed: City of Virginia Beach Department of Planning staff presented the goals and objectives of the project, introduced the WPA team as consultants and explained their roles, and indicated an outline of the scope and timeline for completing this effort. This information was presented at Princess Anne and Thalia Civic League meetings, as briefings to the Virginia Beach Vision group and Bayfront Advisory Commission, and in presentations by staff to the Housing Advisory Committee, the Bicycle/Trails Advisory Committee, and Virginia Beach Planning Commission. Following the introductory presentations, a hybrid public meeting was held at the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library to start the project, present the pattern book concept to the public, seek feedback from citizens, and answer questions from the public.At the meeting, surveys were distributed to attendees along with links to online surveys with the same questions. The results of these surveys were tallied and incorporated into the work done with focus groups. Following the public meeting,two focus groups were established; one to address residential resilience and resident interests in commercial sites int he Bow Creek focus area, and the other to represent the interests of the business community and broader residential interests. Input from these focus group sessions forms the basis for the recommendations provided on the next page. ,... ► mow. - - -e- nl=... ._.. .is ••� to- a i - r`..sue . - > -...r_ .�. .« �_ ' r-- - _ _ a_ �. <<� '�.il��'$ :a� -. , 4441fAti *vs .�..,a. _ 'i=` � 'i^ mac: mow.,.gy�+4•,r� _ - • • •� � »�Ci'� 'yam. INTR- DUCTION Community Engagement Summary Public Information Meeting-February 23,2022 The first formal public information meeting was held the evening of Wednesday, February 23rd at the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library and was an opportunity for City Staff and the WPA team to brief members of the public about the scope of the project, previous experience in drafting similar guidelines and pattern books. Members of the community were encouraged and instructed how to join upcoming focus group meetings in order to gather further valuable information from the residents and business owners. A short Q&A session was held, primarily clarifying the scope and purpose of the project as well as addressing immediate concerns and inaccurate information about the details of the project which had been spread through social media posts. Participants both online and in person were given the opportunity to provide feedback in the form of a survey with questions posed during the presentation as well as volunteer to be members of the future focus groups. Focus Group#1 Meeting- Bow Creek Area Resiliency Toolkit-March 24,2022 Several members of the Bow Creek residential community, business owners, planning commission members, staff from the City of Virginia Beach and members of the WPA project team met as a group at the Virginia Beach Planning and Community Development office building on the evening of Thursday March 24th. During a presentation from the team explaining the project,the seven focus group members and two planning commissioners participated in an open dialogue focusing on existing conditions within the primary study area in Bow Creek, key aspects of how the group viewed connections to the surrounding commercial areas and future development within them.The group also discussed different types of resiliency and steps that can be taken to mitigate flooding. Focus Group#2 Meeting-Suburban/Commercial Area Pattern Book-March 31,2022 Civic league members, Planning Commission members, members of the business community,along with staff from the City of Virginia Beach met with the WPA team on the evening of Thursday March 31st as the second focus group assembled for this project. The primary focus of this group was the Suburban and Commercial areas and developing a pattern book for future development and growth in these areas. During a short presentation and open discussion,the WPA team explained how aspects of previous pattern books were developed and implemented in other areas similar to the ones being focused on for this project.The four focus group members, including business and property owners, and two Planning Commissioners participated in a dialogue and Q&A for just over an hour talking about their experiences and visions for these areas as well as what they'd like to see in the updated guidelines. Combined Focus Group Meeting to Discuss Pattern Book/Toolkit Concepts-June 22,2022 Focus Group#1 and #2 invitees,along with staff from the City of Virginia Beach, met with the WPA team on Wednesday evening,June 22nd. The primary focus of this group was the Suburban and Commercial areas.The group developed a set of concepts for design based on the overlap of values shared between the residential community and the commercial development industry. Pattern Book/Toolkit Concepts Open House Meeting-VB Staff Internal Review Meeting-June 28,2022 Staff from the City of Virginia Beach met with the WPA team on Tuesday morning,June 28th to review pattern book and resilience toolkit concepts prior to the scheduled public meeting open house later in the week. This was intended to educate staff on the current progress of the projects and get initial feedback in regards to their individual areas of expertise from multiple departments. This input was gathered in the same open house format to allow flexibility of scheduling during the work day and comments/markups among participants on exhibits and discussion with team members. These comments and information was then incorporated into several changes and modifications of exhibits for the public meeting open house. INTR- -DUCTI -N Community Engagement Summary Cont. Pattern Book/Toolkit Concepts Open House Review- Public Meeting-June 30,2022 This meeting was advertised using multiple resources and open to all members of the public to meet with the WPA Team on Thursday evening,June 30th in an open house format to allow for flexibility.The primary focus was to review the set of concepts developed in the first three meetings and further refine them.WPA provided visual samples of how a shopping center may be redeveloped based on the set of concepts shared in the previous meetings and held open discussions with participants in a further effort to father input and opinions on both the commercial area pattern book as well as the resilience toolkit concepts. Summary This document is a summary of the findings from these sessions and will be used to guide the team towards developing the project deliverables. Please note that this record is a compilation of the notes taken during the public meetings and is intended to serve solely as such.

The map above illustrates the Bow Creek Neighborhood and commercial areas surrounding it. This pattern book aims to address several issues within these areas including pedestrian connections to and from these commercial areas as well as open space and stormwater management. This project was partially funded by a federal grant to study this primary area of Bow Creek and possible identify possible improvements to stormwater management practices as well as creating a toolkit for residents, business owners and developers to help provide flood mitigation strategies for commercial areas and surrounding neighborhood communities that can be applied throughout the city of Virginia Beach.

These parking lots, in both cases, narrow space remaining between the building and have been typically designed for access by automobile the properties behind. Fences serve the dual purpose only and lack the necessary pedestrian infrastructure of screening the commercial areas from residential such as sidewalks and bike racks to make them streets and provide some security to the commercial accessible to nearby residents who may want to walk area, but they also often obstruct pedestrian access or ride a bicycle to the development. from adjacent neighborhoods. It is common in the Bow Creek area for pedestrian routes to be a half mile or longer to walk from a house adjacent to a shopping center to bypass fencing. qt � �.� .- v- '' t, 111011111111111111111111111.11111"1"" "7-"jr.! 1 1 • .. .._____:„_.._7=,: : it. .. )111..:-.: -.--......."41".., ..... :',,, ; _ .A/C �-,-�; -... .►_ - ';ar, _ � . r , t _5,._ , ✓' a iw..

Modify parking areas to add trees and Layer buildings of increasing scale from the underground water storage: ideally working towards rear or edges of the site towards the street: The the Pixelated Parking model from the Low Impact lowest scale buildings closest to the perimeter of Development Manual(see on page 82). Trees provide the site should be close to the height of the adjacent shade for customer and employee vehicles, pedestrian residential development.Another row of buildings paths, and building facades reducing energy a story or two taller set in towards the interior of consumption and heat island effects. They also retain the site blocks views from the existing residential to stormwater naturally, both in their root systems and larger scale buildings beyond. The largest buildings on their leaf surfaces, slowing the rate at which storm should be at the street edge or the interior of the systems are filled with runoff. Underground storage site where they are best screened from view of the detains runoff before slowly releasing it to the filtration adjacent residential. Building orientation and balcony area prior to entering the City stormwater system. placement of these largest buildings should be carefully considered to maintain privacy. Outdoor Amenities: Larger stormwater systems that will need to be constructed to satisfy requirements of Parking should be located within building redevelopment regulations should be designed as or footprints: whenever possible to maximize use of the part of outdoor amenities that attract residents and site and reduce stormwater runoff and pollution. customers. In cases,these amenities may become a portion of the business model themselves with elements such as skate parks and pump tracks, Connect Adjacent Development: Create connections amphitheaters, and playgrounds able to produce to the primary ystreet with any nearby residential and revenue whenever they are not inundated with include comfortable shaded walking paths that pass stormwater. through the stormwater amenities. Outparcels should be developed to become the face of the development and the neighborhood: The end result of this redevelopment is more like an extension of the neighborhood out to the primary street than a completely separate zone. The outparcels (or street frontage if all the same property) create this new neighborhood address with facades that define a strong street edge. In a multi-phase transformation, this can become a first step to create the room necessary at the interior of the site for the other improvements. Commercial Area Redevelopment Phasing The following are a possible phasing strategy for redevelopment of a commercial site.These general concepts can be applied to sites of all scales.

Each of these areas incorporates development with similar characteristics and styles among other similarities. The study areas indicated on pages 14-18 were analyzed to help create these three character areas. They do not have a defined edge and should be utilized as a guiding factor in commercial redevelopment opportunities. COASTAL CHARACTER AREA • Somewhat isolated from other commercial developments • Typically small to medium scale • Fewer commercial options • More multi family and multi story residential nearby • Subject to design guidelines and coastal environmental conditions such as wind,driven rain, blowing sand, airborne salt,etc. • Stronger pedestrian connections INLAND CHARACTER AREA • Significant supply of commercial options • Stronger vehicular connections, limited pedestrian connections • Greater proportion of large scale developments • Mostly adjacent to one to two story single family residential;some adjacent to multi story multi family residential AICUZ CHARACTER AREA • Majority of developments closely resemble the "Inland Character Area" • Significant supply of commercial options • Stronger vehicular connections, limited pedestrian connections • Greater proportion of large scale developments • Majority of properties are in Accident Potential Zone 2 (APZ2);some are in Noise Contour zones only, limiting residential density. Site Scale Designation The following site scales were created for each Character Area. These were derived from taking the approximate parcel depth for each specific location as part of this study.

Shore Drive (East, N Great Neck Road): This oceanfront shopping center benefits from tourists visiting the beaches as well as a year-round residential neighborhood of single family homes, multi- family apartments and condos, as well as a senior-living facility. There has recently been a public trail developed along the edge of this commercial area, which may benefit future development. 2. Commercial Area between Pembroke SGA and Rosemont SGA: This central area in Virginia Beach is part of a residential community with a local elementary school, high school, and library. The commercial area is between two highway exits and currently experiences a consistent amount of vehicular traffic. There are infrastructure improvements planned in the area such as public trails and kayak launches 3. Holland Road to S Independence Boulevard:This central commercial area is directly next to Mt. Trashmore Park which attracts visitors from around the region. There is a well established residential community of apartment buildings,town homes, and single family homes nearby. The existing businesses currently only have vehicular access, so there is often congestion as people travel from one business to another. 4. Holland Road and Windsor Oaks Boulevard: This commercial area has seen recent success and new investment in shopping centers and apartment complexes nearby. Commercial development and adjacent residences are disconnected from the commercial developments and must be accessed by car.As this area continues to grow, commercial areas will need to provide alternative means of access, reducing commute times to an appropriate amount. 5. Holland Road and S Rosemont Road: This commercial area is an attractive setting for businesses, as it is surrounded by residential areas. There are successful parks nearby, but not within the commercial areas. New commercial development may benefit from offering residential-friendly amenities to serve the surrounding market. 6. Holland Road and Lynnhaven Parkway: This commercial area is close to Oceana Naval facility and development must be done in accordance to the Department of Defense's (DoD)Air Installations Compatible Use Zones(AICUZ) discretionary program designed to promote development compatible with military flight operations. The commercial area is at the intersection of two major thoroughfares and partially bordered by London Bridge Creek. New development should offer connections to adjacent development to limit the congestion on the public roads. 7. Lynnhaven Mall Area: This area takes its name and heritage from the Lynnhaven River system that has a major presence here. The entire area is heavily impacted by AICUZ restrictions associated with flight patterns at NAS Oceana. This gateway to the Great Neck peninsula exhibits a large number of nonconforming signs, overhead utilities, roadway access points, and varied building and site designs 8. Commercial Areas between Hilltop SGA and Resort SGA: This area is located close to a successful oceanfront resort community and another successful retail center. The commercial study area is immediately adjacent to a golf&yacht club community that is experiencing traffic congestion as a result of the communities success. The City's Active Transportation Plan proposes to create a network of interconnected trails and paths to offer alternative modes of transportation to the commercial area. p1110110.11111111111111111ff . . _ , . , „ _ . _ , . ,... . _ , in. COASTAL 6,... OVERVIEW The Coastal Character Area is defined by proximity to the coastline,typically being located within one to two streets from the water. These developments should be designed in coastal architectural styles to complement the surrounding context. These areas are frequently more isolated than the Inland areas and provide more _ neighborhood-scale commodity commercial than many of the Inland properties. However,there tends to be fewer commercial options available to those in the Coastal areas. Coastal Character Areas are typically more walkable in their existing form than other parts of the City due to higher numbers of tourists and residents who value living in a smaller beachfront community. These areas also tend to have more existing multi-story residential already in place. Development sites tend to be smaller in the Coastal areas,with Small to Medium sites being most prevalent, and site widths falling into the 250 foot to 500 foot range. Given their increased exposure to environmental conditions such as wind and driven rain from storms, and that design guidelines exist for the Shore Drive Corridor, Coastal sites tend to have a more discernible architectural identity than other areas in Virginia Beach. KEY ELEMENTS Commercial developments in the Coastal Character Area are typically located along major roads running parallel to the coastline. The commercial parcels in the Coastal Character Area are smaller than others presented in this pattern book and it's quite common to see two to four separate commercial parcels on one block in the Coastal area. The commercial parcels along the main road frequently serve both single-family and multi-family neighborhoods. The Coastal Area is closest to the Bayfront and Resort Area, which attract tourists and visitors year-round. This influx of visitors causes a strain on parking lots here. Consideration should be given to improving pedestrian connections and on-street parking options off of Shore Drive where it is practicable and feasible. _ .f }} 1 yti, ' ,yy.++R- fir..{.1 i,, - i`}: , a,`'f' _ f .ac•—. a *1,-r, ' .- ,- ' 'a+ .." ,,// ,v -44-,--' ,..;. i --- l "714 44 }� 7 ti `�'�Q It ` 1; ' j . r jV ,�� .+.fit or.

Not only is it a favorite destination among locals for its numerous restaurants and retail shops, it is also a popular connection between the Bayfront and the Resort Area, as well as a gateway to the the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. As laid out in the Shore Drive Corridor Plan,the vision for the Shore Drive Corridor is to re-establish a coastal character to the commercial frontage through architectural styles and site configurations that accommodate a relaxed beach-front lifestyle. The corridor has strong east-west pedestrian connections by way of the Cape Henry Trail. Residents and tourists use the Cape Henry trail to hike,walk, and bike with friends,family, and pets. This is one commercial area located along Shore Drive but design principles and guidance in the Coastal Character Area should be applied throughout commercial areas located nearby. The Cape Henry Trail is a successful public amenity that is routed through this commercial area. Commercial properties here pre-date the Cape Henry trail's construction and are not directly connected to the trail. They are separated by a drainage ditch, fence, and/or vegetation.

The previous plans created for Shore Drive(Shore Drive Corridor Plan,Shore Drive Corridor Design Guidelines)should continue to be implemented and followed in order to preserve the naturally occurring environment and established character of the area. The majority of commercial sites are of the small scale and are typically less than 350 feet in depth and width. The north side of Shore Drive has areas where buildings have been brought to the street edge and create a fairly continuous facade line.As future development occurs and the Shore Drive Corridor Plan is implemented, landscape, building facades, and streetscape improvements should be incorporated to establish a continuous edge to Shore Drive. This continuous edge is critical in creating an environment in which drivers naturally drive at slower speed which are the safest for pedestrians walking along and across the street, and are also the most conducive to supporting the businesses located along the street. ` - _ ;`1 '� c� f(- Owl ,� • ! _ .. ,„,, ...:,,c.i..:,,,,,,t,.._\:::::•:-,::-\'..1.\11:i\-\\-v‘ -__......, 1 I:. ..1.i`:,k. .' 1 ,:, - ..\,,I,,\-,\--;-_',. \'._>, 1 -c ,_ ,•01H_K____,_____.\ 46,..„.._-_ ,,,, ...:,..2,....,.:‘,00,,.:,;(.1., AI* - • i '' ''' It ,\1t`1. `1` ' I /" ` �,, cfi,- --SHE ., " ' t ,! _ "' J % 71 . t Imo! j C.1 c. : '` -`. +° H'L.- • s L i,l L.`, ,,l •I 1 f 3i ' ; ( `, �r - ‘ `") i , re ;."1%r '0 r�:1 t' r 1 O I rc p C(.-r'3 v ice, [--1, !J' y;( S' -` r ? t � NS'°f ;..1_'r AR K t. : 0 - o , , , ! -.

This trail could be a safe pedestrian path, connecting pedestrians to shopping along Shore Drive,with north- south connections from the Trail to the commercial properties.According to survey responses and public input, residents would most like to see neighborhood-serving commercial such as small hardware stores, grocers, and other businesses which make life convenient without needing to leave the Shore Drive Corridor. ,..01-4*, .---c) -R.-‘'S.;''''').,..

Shore Drive is the main road of this area and divides the neighborhood. One section is waterfront and home to primarily multifamily dwellings, the other is land-bound and hosts a majority of the single family homes. The shared line of Shore Drive is currently commercial uses that benefits all residents and is also host to many tourists in the warmer seasons. The study area offers commercial uses in the form of retail, gas stations, lodging, restaurants and bars. Planning for these transient, sometimes late night, uses to exist close to single family neighborhoods that expect peace and quiet will be an important part of redevelopment that intends to contribute to the neighborhood. Redevelopment may also benefit from the existing Cape Henry Trail. It's a well traveled pedestrian path that new development should connect to with a series of sidewalks, paths, trails and crosswalks. Currently most commercial properties in the area don't have a residential component, but a developer may seek to re-zone property in order to include residential space.A simple model illustrated on page 111 of the Shore Drive Corridor Plan states that buildings can add one floor on top of existing zoning height limits for every 20 feet of additional setback from required setback line adjoining right-of-way. Most residences here are no taller than three stories,so the height and scale of any new construction should be similar to the surrounding areas, with the taller,three story buildings should be located closer to Shore Drive where applicable,to minimize any negative impacts on privacy felt by neighboring smaller homes. r4.,. t;..;t li WM • rx"=�� ....Y /"."-I M. tr$ (71/1 l t'j : !sNE C. Shore Drive Corridor Plan on page 111 Shore Drive Corridor Plan on page 111 Illustrates adding an additional floor for an additional Illustrates low and moderate height buildings should 20 feet of setback from adjoining right-of-way be encouraged throughout the corridor in order to better reflect the existing residential character and neighborhood scale OVERVIEW Much of the development in Virginia Beach has occurred away from the immediate coastal environment and area immediately adjacent to NAS Oceana. This Character Area addresses these locations. Much of this area has been developed residentially with a diversity of neighborhood types that are supported by small, medium, and large commercial centers. To support the connection between residential and commercial areas, the vehicular infrastructure of the Inland Area is quite robust. The pedestrian infrastructure is currently strengthened with the implementation of the Active Transportation Plan. As development continues in this area, careful consideration should be given to reducing the impact that stormwater runoff has within the watershed. Stormwater management practices should be designed as park-like spaces, with pathways, shading, and site furnishings that further strengthen the pedestrian infrastructure. Current development trends suggest that redevelopment of commercial properties will include structures built at three stories or more. Care should be taken with the location and orientation of these buildings, when built on lots adjacent to residential communities, to preserve any privacy that adjacent residents currently enjoy. Key Elements Developments in the Inland Character Area are typically separated from adjacent parcels by natural features or constructed barriers. Most parcels are accessed by multiple drive aisles, where asphalt is the most common surface material with a raised 5' concrete sidewalk lining the buildings' main facades. As a result of this development style, it is more convenient, and more common, for shoppers to use personal vehicles to move about the shopping center than it is to walk. This currently is a burden on the vehicular infrastructure and also represents an opportunity for improvement in new developments. , • -x I fir • • •'_ •� - -' `' ► ` yYe ,.. rt • _ _ i _ .4 Q,. .�. ,+r '•-:ram -'aT �� �. .'�-.. >�� irtam- , is Y.:Z7 , x + \ • !� INLAND CHARACTER AREA RECOMMENDATIONS s. - t t J -` • C. t tit...

There is well-established infrastructure for vehicular travel in the area.A majority of these commercial parcels are developed to be convenient only to the patron visiting by vehicle. Small parcels may become quickly burdened by traffic congestion if each visitor must travel by personal car. Increasing pedestrian connections between commercial areas and nearby residences should reduce car trips for locals. As the destinations and public trails adjacent to this area develop, new investment should be made to infrastructure that supports appropriate pedestrian connections. These may be bike paths to trails, or private sidewalks that connect to the public right-of-way. Offering alternate means of access that are as convenient& comfortable as of travel that's as enjoyable as driving will help mitigate increasing traffic congestion. INLA\ D STUDY AREA: PEVBROKE TO ROSEVONT EXISTING CONDITIONS This commercial area benefits from being surrounded by several institutional uses, such as libraries, churches, and schools,which are enjoyed by the nearby residents. Currently,there is only one street that is connected to all of these amenities,Virginia Beach Boulevard, a major east-west thoroughfare. Plans are underway to bring another, pedestrian-oriented thoroughfare to this area, designed for recreational use by bike, or walking. This path would run parallel to Southern Boulevard. The residential neighborhoods consist of either apartments or single-family homes. Most single-family homes are detached, but there are several examples of townhouses and duplexes in the area as well. Common cladding materials are brick and vinyl siding. There are a few structures with E.I.F.S or stucco remaining. All public roads here are designed with preference to facilitating vehicular access. Every road has a surface paved for cars and few have paved surfaces for walking or other modes of transport. Wherever pedestrians and vehicles share a paved surface, the design favors vehicular movement over pedestrian. An example would be a painted crosswalk over asphalt, as opposed to a raised crossing or continuous sidewalk. As this area develops, so should the public and private pedestrian infrastructure. Creating more biking/ walking connections between the existing attractions and any planned ones, will reduce traffic congestion and commute times for local residents, commuters, and shoppers.

The existing pattern is to access each seperate commercial property from the main road by car. The typical development pattern will need to be altered to accomodate more visitors come to this area. New commercial developments should connect to bike paths, sidewalks, and share-use paths. The planned multi-use path along Southern Boulevard will bring families, tourists, cyclists, and runners to areas of Virginia Beach that they have yet to explore.

Often there are mature trees of over 30 feet in height that act as a buffer between residential and non-residential uses. These residential areas are composed of single-family detached homes, attached townhomes, and condominium apartment developments. The homes are one to two stories in height, with sloped roofs. They use traditional building materials such as brick, horizontal siding,wood railings and asphalt shingles. Most homes don't have a fenced in front yard, but many have a fenced in back yard. Developments adjacent to existing residential areas should be designed so as to preserve the private nature of the existing backyards in the residential areas. Effective methods are screening with evergreen trees, and limiting heights within 100 feet of adjacent residential parcels. tree screening' i■ U si MO__ .

Trashmore Park. Park access should be improved by a network of street connections, with new commercial centers to complement the commercial corridors that are reconfigured to create a more continuous development pattern of multi-story buildings that accommodate residential, commercial, and office uses DESIGN PRINCIPLES This commercial area has experienced significant changes in and around it since the creation of ��-�-`-x��`�<`�-�' �-� Mt .Trashmore Park. This includes the development of the Town Center district to the north and an _ increasing population of residents along Holland Road. t ^, , oo; Mt. Trashmore Park has received • -v'° F• investment over the years and remains a well-loved attraction by local families and visiting tourists. The central location of this area • '•>: within Virginia Beach, along with it's proximity to the future Bow • Creek Stormwater Park and family •.\' amenities, have led to the recent V1 :.coMM��� �; construction of luxury apartment 42 developments here. `; oo r:', 1 tt r There are significant opportunities for economic development resulting from being close to interstate, parks and shopping.

There is an entrance to Mt. Trashmore Park at one end of the commercial area and two strip mall style parcels of a medium size at the other end of the commercial area. In between the two ends of this study area are a combination of smaller retail parcels and a couple apartment complexes. The recent apartment complexes have been developed with trails that connect to Mt Trashmore Park, extending the benefits of a park to the residents. Commercial Areas here should include trails and paths that offer a seamless walking/biking experience from park to home to storefront. INLAND STUDY AREA: HOLLAND TO INDEPE\ DENCE EXISTING CONDITIONS This area benefits from the success of Mt. Trashmore Park over the past several decades. Continuous investment in the park has created a neighborhood attraction that is family-oriented and open to the general public. The three major roads that are within this commercial area are S Plaza Trail, S Independence Boulevard and Holland Road. All three roads can be followed to new residential developments including multi-family apartments, town homes, condos, and single-family homes. There are also well established communities of homes.As these residents commute to and from their homes,they are likely to pass this commercial area that lies just a couple miles south of the interstate entrance at Independence Boulevard. This area is attractive to businesses seeking vehicular traffic, close interstate access, and a large customer base. Currently many outparcels offer drive-through food pick-up,with shopping at individual stores within strip malls to the rear of the property. Between the strip malls and the outparcels there are parking lots with few designated places for pedestrians to walk or rest in between shopping trips. Most commercial properties here have been designed with two entrances, often one on a main public road and the other on an interior road or secondary public road.

The regional Mt.Trashmore Park to the north attracts a significant amount of visitors that use the trails and other park features. Currently,there is one direct route from the park to the commercial study area here via S Independence Boulevard/Holland Road. In an attempt to reduce the vehicular traffic burden of Holland Road new developments should create a continuous network of trails that connect to the Park.The City of Virginia Beach has plans for improving pedestrian infrastructure on all the major public roads in this area. This creates the opportunity for a park visitor to leave their car in the parking lot and then walk to a nearby convenience store or restaurant and then walk back without adding to traffic. ♦ // ` / 'cl ' ♦ f J 1 t liel r• =� y>r'' LJ4C i �' ' r 4 r :i 1 f !i � , ', .T 2, ♦ !. cam, a •1' �,. ,. > l • I •• '` • 0. /'Yon 1 ,� `i ` c t�! /{ "/� °ry N(J` r •V d A...\Sce -# 0-sc'' • • : O ` K, b L j ° . .. /3 3w gp, c • ,, FNEAGtr '. it �� , ♦ i 1 . � _7"(!/1• ` •. 00 ti , 1 i i) ; 1 1 1• - �O • O j Q 4 ?^ rii - '?

Often there are mature trees of over 30 feet in height that act as a buffer between residential and non-residential uses. These residential areas are composed of single-family detached homes, attached town homes, and apartment developments. The rear of many commercial properties in this area border the yards of private homes. In addition to mature trees separating commercial from residential uses there are often fences and drainage ditches making the commercial area distinct and separate from the residential developments. Newer development trends often mix these two uses to increase the market base that the commercial areas have. New commercial developments adjacent to residential areas should be designed to preserve the private nature of the existing backyards in the residential areas. Effective methods are screening with evergreen trees and limiting building heights within 100 feet of adjacent residential parcels. Below is an example of how tree screening should be used as a buffering method for buildings up to four stories in height. Commercial parcels with access to Holland Road and S Plaza Trail should place entrances with sidewalks for pedestrians on each of those main streets. The same principle should be applied for other developments that can be accessed by two or more public roads.

The commercial area has seen an increase in development with a new multifamily complex constructed across the street from the commercial parcels shown below in the salmon tone. The commercial is located at the intersection of a couple major roads. There are residential uses surrounding the commercial area. Most residential developments have backyards adjacent to the commercial development and separated with a buffer of fencing, trees, or a combination of both. New residential developments have aligned their entrances with existing commercial entrances to increase the capacity for vehicular traffic flow. These entrances are aligned over main roads of 4-6 lanes in width. The distance to cross roads, combined with no crosswalk or indicator of pedestrian traffic makes walking to the commercial area an uncomfortable and dangerous experience. These intersections should be examined for potential crosswalks,yield signs, stop signs, and lighted traffic signals to facilitate safe access for vehicles and pedestrians alike. Some residences feature a continuous sidewalk or trail network,others have clubhouses or internal residential amenities. These amenities rarely connect to adjacent commercial developments. • /, ,,st.t, ,..„0:,.., , . ,\ ,,,,iiit / ,` i; \ ° DER *row ecoulv6,t. - —-% .g. r. 0,,,?zz 0 6- lt4c'1%, , , a -_,-: _ , 1 C V T F , 0 czizil Mod .,Ti''''' � _ 0 ek I B Y - , - 774,7ez,, .,R,..., 0 o _ v _ zftkiv S owoRwT(cam �"u C�° D 0 ti IN LAND STUDY AREA: HOLLAND & WI \ DSOR OAKS EXISTING CONDITIONS Street Network GOVERN o The street network in the residential ,_ • .1 ' - surrounding h ``, _ y� ��' -� - communities t e I E��� ; commercial is designed in the ''N', L.f , cut-de-sac model,with most - __ „v.A4DIRD_ = =- developments being accessed via f `� the closest main public roads ,. i i _ ci ' -'*-' i -. � Environmental ConditionsI -,, ,,,I , /,. r peg ` e.11 `vI This area is susceptible to localized ,7„,N, ___ ; flooding during large storm x , / -`, events.

Most of these paths are located along public roads,with smaller paths located within separate developments. There is currently a lack of continuous connection between these two types of paths. New commercial development should provide an experiential benefit to adjacent residents by constructing paths that connect residential trails to businesses and public trails. EXAMPLE IMAGES • AICUZ CHARACTER AREA OVERVIEW AICUZ Character Areas are those commercial corridors which lie within an Accident Potential Zone (APZ) or Noise Contour of the Air Installations Compatible Use Zone, also known as AICUZ, established around Naval Air Station Oceana. These zones limit the uses and density of development in order to maintain the safety and quality of life of communities that are close to military air bases. Key Elements Commercial developments in the AICUZ Character Area are most commonly restaurants, auto-services, warehouses, or offices. They are typically separated from adjacent parcels by natural features or constructed barriers, especially when adjacent to residential uses. The example image below shows a residential development next to a restaurant, shopping center, and warehouse department store with no direct access due to landscaped areas and a constructed pond to manage stormwater. This landscaped buffer should be designed as a walkable park, to connect to existing parcels whenever possible. This alternate mode of access can reduce travel times and vehicular congestion in the AICUZ area as new developments are built. ,'' . t, .I-i.....r ol.k, �- t ,.>k ,• - --,- !.*...,„.,,,,. .-:--- ,, ‘, .,,,:.'...-...-..._—-.--..-..„-.-.1.3.',1,iit,i--r,r.,, , ' ' :I,•o rlt- ' ...i -� .:,,,,r rz , _ `� w it , `.„... = ', >...- v..k 9:-.--I-".,tt,-4hr-s„4:':R..•....,..„..,..._-,.-,-.-.-.-.,,,.,, .- '.. ..:...:•_.4,.4.4.._44,,-,.: .,•-• ..»y P Zwps, t .Zr -.

AICUZ STUDY AREA: HOLLAND & ROSEVONT EXISTING CONDITIONS Small individual commercial developments are located along the major thoroughfares, often utilizing multiple entry points on adjacent streets. Most commercial buildings are surrounded by parking lots and public roads surround the properties. A majority of the public streets have a pedestrian sidewalk network, often lined with trees. The public sidewalks and the sidewalks at commercial building entrances are typically separated by a parking lot or drive aisle.There are few crosswalks where pedestrians may travel through vehicle parking areas. This makes the walking experience unpleasant, and most people within walking distance travel to the commercial area by car. The residential areas surrounding this community are well connected with few dead end streets. Residents and commercial properties alike benefit from stormwater management practices such as swales. In addition to the swales, there are tributaries of the Lynnhaven River that border some of the commercial properties. In times of low tide, these will most likely be too shallow to be navigated, but there may be a potential for a kayak launch and other water-related amenities at the eastern edge of this commercial area. The relatively well,connected street network offers a lot of amenities within driving distance.As this area's population increased, traffic congestion has as well. The city has seen residents becoming comfortable with using biking paths for exercise and nearby shopping. Currently,there are plans to increase the number of shared use paths and bike lanes in the area. N _ • oANCR0�F /• �� N LL fr.:,C_ _ IR - , .

The residential communities and commercial areas are both accessed via the same two main roads in this area, Holland Road and Lynnhaven Parkway. These thoroughfares have seen increased congestion recently as the overall area population has increased. There are several community amenities nearby,such as parks, small lakes and creeks, and multiple elementary schools. This area is attractive for families looking for a single family home in a quiet landscape. Currently the Lynnhaven Mall area receives a moderate amount of visitors, but there are plans in the future to add additional amenities and residents to that area which may increase the traffic along Lynnhaven Parkway. There have been successful trails constructed nearby in recent history that are separated from major thoroughfares with landscaped verges of about 10 to 20 feet in width. The city of Virginia Beach plans to build upon the success of these trails by adding a bike path and shared use path to Lynnhaven Parkway and Holland Road respectively. ‘ i 0,,__,, ,,,,o), , 13 , ,cP off' •� p,� , e i A / ii a o I 1` \... /. .g4, {i I % :,, ,7 -,,,-'- ` i o HOLLAND k zm :obto, , • �� 0 yPZa' oQ� <9ek 1 % `f -- PO AR: 10 • [ N \\ >.

The residential community to the north surrounds a golf course and many residents have personal vehicles to travel from their homes to golf courses. This embodies the relaxed and comfortable lifestyle that's characteristic of this commercial area on the border of the Resort SGA in Virginia Beach. DESIGN PRINCIPLES This commercial area is beside some of the most luxurious homes in the area. The northern residential community is located around a golf course, with access to a yacht club and beachfront V.-j amenities within walking distance. \©\'FOR \ o` `.. The residential character on the southern side of Laskin 11111 Rd is much more dense with `- townhomes, apartments, and relatively closely spaced single family homes. There is a sufficient vehicular infrastructure here with - roadways of up to 8 lanes in ,•��9 •- ,: combined width. Crosswalks c' should be incorporated across is Z lighted intersections to increase pedestrian safety and access. A number of capital improvement projects are planned in this area, including gateway art that defines the area as well as a bike path planned for N Birdneck Road. New developments should incorporate these new amenities into their plans. GOALS • Build upon the existing natural resources and extend the resort experience to public open space through an interconnected system of parks and trails. • Support mixed-use developments that will be necessary to achieve the goal of a year-round resort and will enable the area to become more connected and walkable. • Improve traffic calming, pedestrian circulation, bike circulation,vehicular circulation, and on-street parking availability.

Q The majority of commercial parcels in this study area are relatively small. All parcels are accessed via Laskin Rd and N Birdneck Road. Existing parcels have individual vehicular entrances separate from adjacent parcels. Small lots should consider possiblity of connected parking lots and utilizing shared parking to provide cross-parcel access. Medium sized lots in this area are adjacent to denser housing types and should be able to support future mixed- use development constructed with respect to the style and scale of adjacent homes. AICUZ STUDY AREA: HILLTOP TO RESORT AREA EXISTING CONDITIONS This commercial corridor is located along Laskin Road, a major thoroughfare that many people use to drive to commute to the Oceanfront. The entire commercial area is within the boundaries of the APZ2,with close proximity to Oceana Naval Air Station. Most commercial parcels in this area offer services for local residents such as dining, religious venues, retail, grocery stores and personal services. In addition,there are business catered to Resort Area visitors with access to waterways to launch boats and biking tours of the area. Commercial parcels here are accessed from the main road and are most safely travelled to by car. There are few sidewalks, crosswalks, or designated areas for pedestrians to walk.

As there are only a few roads leading out of the neighborhood,traffic congestion is a strong possibility as these parcels are developed. Offering an alternative to driving to residents of the golf-course community is encouraged here as many homeowners have small personal vehicles that can be operated on smaller paths . Residential parcels to the south should be enhanced with biking and walking connections up to the commercial areas of Laskin Road. These can be constructed along existing streets, between the road and the natural landscape of mature trees and bodies of water. o\- -r v 1 } { o 1. - Cps r- O 0 o 1 li e li • a 4) �PV v 7ANAGE°'ln R/O( ; 1 • ; .,, t.

In instances where commercial property abuts a residential development with multiple owners, there should be an attempt made to create a pathway that may allow those within biking or walking distance to travel to commercial areas without using a car. The neighborhood is home to several retirees and vacationers and has a relaxed character that commercial developments should embrace.

New commercial development should provide and experiential benefit to adjacent residents by constructing paths that connect residential trails to businesses and public trails.

The following examples illustrate "hard engineering" using such infrastructure as pipes and pumps and "soft engineering"which the LID favors and utilizes the natural environment and landscape in order to provide positive impacts on handling stormwater and runoff. The following practices should be implemented where possible in commercial redevelopment opportunities in an effort to improve stormwater management and flood resiliency.
