PROPOSED CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
11:00 A.M.
ITEM # 28940
The City Manager introduced Robert Loher, Director of Permits and Inspections,
who reiterated information relative the PROPOSED Certificate of Occupancy
Program.
Every year, since 1973 when the Department of Permits and Inspections became
responsible for enforcing the housing code, the number of complaints received
for investigation by the Housing Division has grown and in recent years has
reached an increase of approximately 20% per year. During these years,
systematic inspections (neighborhood maintenance inspections) have also been
conducted at the request of civic leagues or in areas where they are obviously
needed, and in recent years it has become apparent that the need for systematic
inspections is also rapidly increasing.
The need for increases in staff to handle the growing number of complaint and
systematic inspections was addressed in the 1987-88 budget request for Housing
Division and that request was partially met. At the same time, a new strategy
was decided on that could possibly reduce the increasing demand and need for
complaint and systematic inspections in the future by expanding the scope of a
program already in effect.
It has been derived from some of the group discussion that the City would be
reviewing houses that really did not need to be inspected. It has also been
suggested when a house is put on the market it has been repaired; and,
therefore, there is no need for the inspection. However, photographs were
taken of certain houses on the market and this proves NOT to be the case.
Therefore, there are obvious discrepancies. The CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
Ordinance will not solve all the problems, but will be one of the tools to
address the housing stock deterioration.
Alex Davis, Housing Code Administrator, advised the Department conducted 1,076
LPA Inspections in 1986. LPA (LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY) inspections are housing
code inspections required by VA on all dwellings fifteen (15) years or older
being sold VA with a fee of $30-00 for each initial inspection paid to the
City. In 1986, 131 initial LPA inspections were conducted in Aragona Village
and 172 were conducted in Princess Anne Plaza. These thorough inspections of
the interior of the dwellings as well as of the exterior and premises
definitely aided in the maintenance of these subdivisions and in any other
subdivisions where conducted. An LPA Inspection is mainly a visual type
inspection to determine if any obvious repairs are required. Because of he
proven value of the LPA inspection program and the experience and expertise
gained in administering it, a logical next step was to expand the scope of the
LPA's by requiring that all dwellings being sold VA, or by any other type of
sale, be inspected. The fifteen (15) year requirement was changed to ten (1)
years because of the deterioration in the housing stock the City is finding
through systematics and complaints in subdivisions.
In an LPA inspection, the plumbing is investigated to determine leakage,
whether the electrical outlets are functioning properly, the electrical
switches function, floors are sagging, or there are cracks in the walls or
ceiling. The entire house is investigated to determine if there is an obvious
need of repair. Approximately 75% of the houses inspected did not pass
inspection the first time.
One inspector could reasonably conduct approximately 800 initial inspections
per year and the necessary follow-up inspections. MLS records showed that
approximately 2400 dwellings would be transferred in the first year of such a
program. Since one (1) housing inspector had been doing LPA's exclusively and
LPA's would be automatically included in the proposed C.O. inspection, the LPA
inspector and two (2) additional inspectors would be sufficient to the task.
The proposed CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY program and the necessary staffing was
required in the 1987-88 budget and was approved at the BUDGET HEARING.

PROPOSED CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
ITEM # 28940 (Continued)
Councilwoman Parker requested a DISCLAIMER be placed on the CERTIFICATE
advising this is only a surface level inspection. Alex Davis advised a
DISCLAIMER is currently attached to the LPA's inspection CERTIFICATE. it
states the inspection is not a complete examination of heating, electrical,
plumbing or crawlspace.
Alex Davis advised the LPA requirement has been rescinded by the VA.
William Macali, Assistant City Attorney, who drafted the PROPOSED Ordinance to
AMEND and REORDAIN the Code of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, by Adding
Section 16-10.1, pertaining to CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY for CERTAIN DWELLINGS,
explained the exemptions:
(b) (1) Conveyed or transferred by gift or trust to a
member of the immediate family of the
transferor; or
(i.e. parents wish to give their child a
present of the house. If the son or daughter
wished to sell the house on the open market
then the Ordinance would at this point take
effect.)
(2) Conveyed or transferred to a spouse or former
spouse pursuant to judicial decree or marital
separation agreement; or
(Husband and wife divorce, but one remains in
the house. This is not a sale of the
property.)
(3) Conveyed or transferred by bequest or devise
or pursuant to the laws of intestate
succession or survivorship; or
(i.e., husband dies then the wife would
retain full title to the property.)
(4) In which any interest or estate other than
fee simple is conveyed or transferred; or
(Contained therein basically as an exemption
to rentals.)
(5) Less than ten (10) years of age as of the
date of consummation of sale, conveyance or
other transfer; or
(Previously discussed in the aforementioned
paragraphs).
(6) Contained in multiple-family dwellings
consisting of more than four (4) dwelling
units or in attached dwellings consisting of
more than nine (9) dwelling units.
(This particular exemption involves rental
properties and the City Council may wish to
provide further direction.)
(7) Conveyed or transferred for purposes other
than occupancy as a dwelling unit.
(If the person who owns the house is selling
it to someone else and the intention is to
tear down the house and build a office, et
cetera, then there is no need to inspect the
house if it is going to be demolished.)

PROPOSED CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
ITEM # 28940 (Continued)
Councilman Perry and Councilwoman McClanan reiterated the necessity for an
Ordinance specifically related to the minimum standards a dwelling must meet
before it is required to be repaired.
Councilman Moss requested ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES be established relative
this Ordinance to explain the Inspection.
The Ordinance does not apply to a large condominium unit such as Chesapeake
House.
The City Manger advised at the City Council Meeting of March 14, 1988, a
proposal relative the CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY Ordinance will delete Item (b)
(1) under EXEMPTIONS, and provide clarification specifically relative Item (b)
(6) and the manner in which the City will deal with the Condominium situations.
GUIDELINES regarding communicating to the public the requirements of the
Inspection Program will also be provided to City Council. The City Manger
advised the City Staff recognizes the problems associated with rental
properties but this is a first step. At a later date this accompanied by an
Ordinance specifically related to the minimum standards a dwelling must meet
before it is allowed to be repaired, will be addressed.
The City Council can advise whether they wish an Ordinance relative
CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY scheduled for the City Council Agenda of March 21,
1988.
At the request of Councilman Perry, the City Staff will examine the REFLECTIONS
complex on Lynnhaven Road relative bad wood on the porches and fence railing.

SUPPLEMENTAL CIP ACTION PLAN
11:55 A.M.
ITEM # 28941
The City Manager introduced Maryann Ustick, Director of Housing and Community
Development, who advised the City's staff has worked diligently to review past
and present actions relative to the CDBG Program, as well as to attempt to
articulate a coherent policy framework with appropriate action policies to be
followed through each TARGET AREA.
Maryann Ustick outlined the 1988 ACTION PLAN POLICIES:
(1) Each TARGET neighborhood will be addressed as a
separate entity as to needs, objectives and
specific improvements/programs to be implemented.
(2) In each neighborhood, the following goals will be
balanced and weighed:
(a) benefiting existing residents
(b) preserving neighborhoods where feasible
(c) establishing land-use and housing patterns of
city-wide benefits
Financial feasibility, including cost per unit,
will be analyzed and included in program
considerations.
(3) Past actions will not necessarily be treated as a
precedent.
(4) The City's first funding priority, where not
already accomplished, will be to install basic
infrastructure improvements. This is defined as
water and sewer service and paved streets without
curb and gutter.
(5) It shall be the policy of the government to
strenuously avoid the installation of publicly
funded improvements which have the dominant effect
of benefitting potential land speculation or future
development not in character with the neighborhood.
(6) General fund monies may be used to supplement CDBG
funds. The primary burden of funding street
improvements shall be on the CDBG program due to
the often unique circumstances which require
practices and policies which would not be and have
not been followed in other areas of the City.
Maryann Ustick advised five (5) of the original TARGET neighborhoods have full
improvements:
BEECHWOOD
LAKE SMITH
DOnETOWN
MILL DAM
NEWLIGHT

SUPPLEMENTAL CIP ACTION PLAN
ITEM # 28941 (Continued)
Maryann Ustick reviewed the status of the TARGET neighborhoods:
ATLANTIC PARK
Present Status: Water and sewer Present. Street
or drainage improvements not present or planned.
Recommended Improvement: No additional Capital
Projects.
Justification:
The entire neighborhood lies within Oceana Naval
Air Station's high noise zone and a substantial
portion of the neighborhood lies within the
Accident Potential Zoning of the approach to
Oceanals runway. HUD's environmental regulations
do not permit the funding of improvements which
promote new residential development in such
hazardous areas.
The Staff does not recommend street improvements be
constructed as they would encourage such new
residential development
BURTON STATION
Present Status: liater sewer improvements scheduled
for 1992. Street and drainage improvements not
present or planned
Recommended Improvement: Planned improvements on
hold pending completion of Airport Master Plan
(12/88)
Justification: Any activities planned for Burton
Station should take into consideration the
external/environmental constraints, such as the
maintenance and expansion of the Norfolk
International Airport. The previous Burton Station
Neighborhood Plan, on which the January 1982
rezoning to residential use was based, did not take
into consideration the environmental impediments to
redevelopment created by Burton Station's location
in the Airport's high noise zone. HUD's
environmental regulations do not permit the funding
of improvements which promote new residential
development in high noise zones.

SUPPLEMENTAL CIP ACTION PLAN
ITEM # 28941 (Continued)
GRACETOWN
Present Status: Water and sewer improvements
complete. Non-standard street and open drainage
project will be completed Spring 1988.
Recommended Improvement: Provide additional
drainage improvements consisting of underground
pipe system without curb and gutter.
Justification: Due to the required depth and width
of the ditches in the current open drainage system
and to the proximity of these ditches to the houses
in Gracetown, it is recommended that an underground
piped drainage system be constructed. This
underground drainage system will enhance the
revitalization of Gracetown by improving the
aesthetic appearance of the neighborhood and will
not impact the existing houses to the extent that
standard width streets and curb and gutter would do
so. All the lots in Gracetown are subdivided. There
are approximately 108 vacant lots in Gracetown.
NEWSOME FARM
Present Status: Water and sewer improvements
complete. Plans for full improvements to be
completed June 1988. Acquisition of right-of-way is
30% complete. Construction to commence Fall 1988.
Recommended Improvement: Provide full
street/drainage improvements with CDBG and General
Revenue Sharing Funds.
Justification: The major constraint to the
construction of street and drainage improvements in
Newsome Farm has been the high cost of a drainage
outfall. Drainage must be piped down Newtown Road
to Lake Smith at a cost in excess of $1.5-MILLION
plus the cost of drainage easements. Consequently,
constructing an open drainage system for Newsome
Farm was not considered to be cost effective since
much of the expense would be incurred in
constructing the outfall systems. Much of the land
in Newsome Farm is not subdivided. Standard
improvements required for infill housing to be
encouraged. Newsome Farm has been selected as the
location for an eight (8) lot subdivision of low
and moderate income single- family housing
currently under construction by the Virginia Beach
Community Development Corporation.

SUPPLEMENTAL CIP ACTION PLAN
ITEM # 28941 (Continued)
QUEEN CITY
Present Status: Water and sewer project (with
street resurfacing) to commence Fall 1988.
Recommended Improvement: Perform drainage
feasibility study
Justification: A 30-foot right-of-way is being
acquired as part of the water and sewer project and
the streets will be repaved and realigned once the
water and sewer lines are installed. Standard
street and drainage improvements are not planned
for Queen City due to the extreme close proximity
of the houses to the street. and to the narrowness
of the existing streets. One-third of Queen City
lies in Ches@peake. Consequently, the City Staff is
working very closely with Chesapeake to insure
consistency in approach that will enhance the
appearance of the Community and not detract from
same.
REEDTOWN
Present Status: Water, sewer, streets and drainage
project will be completed by March 1988.
Recommended Improvements: No additional capital
projects.
Justification: Reedtown is one of the least
densely-developed target areas in Virginia Beach.
The neighborhood consists of eight (8) houses
located on large wooded lots. Staff does not
believe that any additional capital expenditure for
the benefit of eight (8) households can be
justified in view of the fact that adequate roads,
drainage and water and sewer facilities will soon
be in place. Paved streets are now in place,
garbage collection was initiated on February 17,
1988, and mail delivery will commence within thirty
days after the new street addresses have been
assigned by the Planning Department.
SEATACK
Present Status: Water and sewer present in entire
neighborhood. Full street and drainage improvements
present in Phase I; 100% design plans complete
(nonstandard street and open drainage improvements)
for Phases IIA and IIB; Right-of-way acquisition
98% complete for Phase ITA and not yet underway for
Phase IIB.
Recommended Improvement: Provide additional
drainage improvements to consist of underground
pipe system.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT POLICY STATE14ENT
AND
SUPPLEMENTAL CIP ACTION PLAN
ITEM # 28941 (Continued)
Justification: Seatack Phase I Street Improvements
Project (Norfolk Avenue and adjacent Seatack
Streets) were completed in 1985. An open ditch
drainage system has been designed for the two
remaining phases of Seatack (IIA and IIB) due to:
(1) reduction in CDBG funds available and (2)
neighborhood's location in the high noise zone of
Oceana Naval Air Station. Standard street
improvements are not recommended since these would
tend to promote new residential and possibly higher
density development on the vacant land located in
the high noise zone. It is also recommended that
the widening of Birdneck Road from the Railroad
tracks to Bells Road be constructed simultaneously
with this project, as was originally intended,
except that local revenue sources be utilized for
Birdneck Road improvements.
The total additional funds required for implementation would be approximately
$1,56o,ooo. As the NEWSOME FARM Street and Drainage Project will require
$750,000 in CDBG funds in the upcoming 14th Program Year, per the approved CIP,
the total additional funding required for target neighborhood capital projects,
as recommended in the next three years, is $2.31-MILLION. Given the anticipated
reduced level of future CDBG funding of an average of 3 percent per year, it is
recommended that general funds be allocated to target neighborhood capital
projects over the next years through the CIP process. The contribution from
the General Fund towards some of the recommendations will restore CDBG Funds
that were expended on the following Capital Projects in the past which had a
more general public purpose: Pleasure House Road, Norfolk Avenue, Seatack Fire
Station and the Suffolk Wells.
Councilwoman McClanan requested a closer examination of the drainage in NEWSOME
FARM.
Councilman Perry advised in GRAGETOWN the City has already removed 1,000 cubic
yards of dirt. Councilman Perry further referenced the manual AMERICAN PUBLIC
WORKS PROPOSALS. In said manual they have offered significant data to prove
curbs and gutters are more efficient than open drainage. Councilman Perry
further referenced an Information Kit by the JOINT VENTURE OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. Councilman Perry also referenced a letter dated July 28, 1982, from
Samuel R. Pierce, Jr., Secretary of Housing and Community Development, relative
the leverage of funds. (Said letter is hereby made a part of the record.) The
City would install the infrastructure, the developers would build the housing
and the developers would be charged for the infrastructure.
Councilwoman Henley referenced ATLANTIC PARK and whether the Southeastern
Expressway would affect this area. The City Manager advised the State has not
advised of specific data alignment.
Councilwoman Henley referenced a letter from the REGIONAL PLANNING GROUP
expressing appreciation for the City Council's support. The City Manager
advised at a recent meeting of the REGIONAL PLANNING GROUP, a request was made
to consider the homeless from the standpoint of the region. This proposal
received approval from the group with an agreement that the Staff investigate.
The City Manager believes the individuals assumed all Council Members had
adopted this approach.
Councilwoman McClanan advised this proposal was originated by City Manager
Hanbury of Portsmouth.

ADVERTISING AGENCY SELECTION
12:45 P.M-
ITF14 # 28942
The City Manager introduced James DeBellis, Director of Economic Development,
who in conjunction with Daniel L. Kensil, Chairman, of the ADVERTISING
SELECTION COMMITTEE as well as Vice President of Human Resources at Stihl,
presented information relative the ADVERTISING AGENCY SELECTION.
The City Council APPOINTED the ADVERTISING SELECTION COMMITTEE commencing
January 1, 1986, for a two-year term. All agencies holding Virginia Beach
Business Licenses, agencies that had bid in the past and agencies that had
expressed an interest were invited to Bid. There were 14 companies that
responded by the August 3, 1987 DEADLINE. On August 12, 1987, the ADVERTISING
SELECTION COMMITTEE met and chose seven agencies to make presentations. One
agency declined and six remained.
The ADVERTISING SELECTION COMMITTEE chose ARTHUR POLIZOS ASSOCIATES. ARTff[JR
POLIZOS ASSOCIATES had been awarded a two-year contract to handle industrial,
tourism and convention advertising effective January 1, 1983. Options to renew
were exercised, consequently the contract had been in effect for five years on
December 31, 1987. The Division Heads had indicated they were extremely
satisfied with the work performed by the POLIZOS Agency over the period of the
contract.
A contract has been negotiated and executed by ARTHUR POLIZOS ASSOCIATES. Jim
Debellis advised in the SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL ADVERTISING
COMPETITION, the City's Industrial Division Advertising Program received two of
the highest awards.
Councilwoman McClanan advised of the poor quality of the VIDEOS, one was
totally outdated and blurred and the other was totally ineffective in the
City's OTTAWA presentation to encourage the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
MUNICIPAL CLERKS ASSOCIATION to choose Virginia Beach for their 1993
CONVENTION.
Councilman Fentress agreed with Councilwoman McClanan relative the VIDEOS and
the video prepared by the JOINT CABLE UNIT far excelled the others. Councilman
Fentress was not certain, however, if the Advertising Agency had made these two
aforementioned tapes.
Councilman Moss suggested consideration of two different RFP'S: one dealing
with advertising the Community as a place for Conventions and Tourists and the
other a specialty firm that focuses on industrial recruitment.
Dan Kensil and Jim Debellis advised in the BID package it was stated the bidder
may elect to bid either the tourism/convention account, the industrial account
or both.
The City Manager will review same.

RESORT AREA FACADE PROGRAM
12:58 P.M.
ITEM # 28943
Henry Ruiz, Administrator of the RESORT PROGRAMS OFFICE, assisted by Barry
Frankenfield, reiterated the RESORT AREA FACADE PROGRAM.
The City's Ordinance (Section 33-114-1) pertaining to encroaching signs,
awning, marquees and similar structures requires the removal of such structures
by MaY 4, 1988, unless encroachments are approved by the City Council.
Recently, a firm hired by the City has developed the Resort Area Facade Program
Design Guidelines, which are voluntary and which pertain to the appearance of
facades of buildings in the Resort Area. The proposed ordinance would authorize
and require the administration approval of awnings which conform to the design
guidelines which pertain to awnings. As a condition of approval, the City
Manager or his designee may attach a condition that the remainder of the facade
conform with any or all of the remaining guidelines within a certain time.
A review committee consisting of inspectors from Public Works, Real Estate
office, Permits and Inspections, as well as the Resort Programs Office will be
the team gathering information and processing applications,Weekly scheduled
field inspections will be conducted as they review the applications in
providing analysis and recommendations.
In addition to the Ordinance, proposed DESIGN GUIDELINES have also been
established.
Timothy Barrow, Chairman of the RESORT AREA ADVISORY COUNCIL, advised the RAAC
is very enthusiastic about the potential of this program. This would encourage
the development of a unified theme.

ITEM # 28944
Councilman Perry advised the Federal Government has released $87-MILLION for
housing and he was curious whether the City is applying for same. The City
Manager advised there is some new funding available through the organizations
like the CDC. The City is precluded by law from applying for some of it. There
is new federal legislation and the City Staff met with the representatives from
HUD and are currently trying to pursue.
Councilman Heischober advised with the new TAX BILL, if certain instruments are
purchased, one receives a tax-deduction through Boston Financial Corporation.
They are going to issue approximately $300-BTLLION for low and moderate income
housing. Councilman Heischober will be attending a Seminar relative same.

INTRODUCTION
The following design guidelines have been developed for the City of Virginia
Beach by Philip A. Shaw and Associates; and, Planning Design Resources/Morton
B. Gulak of Richmond, Virginia. Tbe guidelines have been reviewbd by
representatives of the Resort Area business community through a process of
public worksilops and presentations. In addition, the guidelines have been
reviewed by members of the Resort Area Advisory Commission and City departments
including Zoning and Permits, the City Attorney's Office, Public Works/Real
Estate, and the Resort Programs Office. Through the review process a variety
of recommendations and revisions have been incorporated in the guidelilies.
The guidelines are intended to assist resort businesses in improving the
appearance of commercial properties, and therefore, improving the economic
vitality of the resort area.
lUtSORT AREA FACADE PROGRAM
DESIGN GUIDELlt4ES
VIRGIN-LA BRACII, VIRGINIA
PIIRPOSE
The program of improvements to the Resort Area commercial district is intended
to maintain its economic position and attraction to future consumers. The
process to accomplish this program is complicated and requires many components
to achieve its purpose. Urban design, one of the components, can achieve
drainatic results through simple reliabilitation of building facades. The
following guidelines establish a uniforiii approach to facade improvements
through an overall design ttieme for Llie Resort Area. By foltowilig tilese
guidelines, property owners and merchants will improve the appearance of their
individual building and the entire area as well.
SCOPE
These desigii guidelines apply to commercial buildings directly adjacent to the
public right-of-way in the Resort Area as delineated by the boundaries of the
Beach Borough.
GENRRAL DESIGN FE&TURES
The following are 'the design features that are important to producing a
cohesive shopping environment in the Resort Area and providing an identity for
individual facades;
SCALE - the relationship of buildings and their parts to hwnan size and
perception.
R@ - the pattern of repeating elements such as individual facades
or signs that exist on each block.
PROPOWrION - the proper fit of building parts and the overall facade
(windows, doors, roofline and decorative trim) to each other.
MATERIALS - the facade materials in relation to the original facade
design and construction and to neighboring facades.
COLOR - colors should respect the building's architecture, be coordi-
iiated along each block and create a mood for the street.
Actions are necessary by each building owner to transform these design features
into a quality shopping district. These actions may be minor involving only
paint, a sign or an awning, or major involving tiie restoration of the entire
storefront. Each action, no matter what scale, when guided by these guidelines
will help to make the area into a more coherent shopping district.
FACADE DESIGN GUIDELINES
1. RETAIN AND RESTORE THE ORIGINAL STOREFRONT WHERE POSSIBLE
Tiie original storefront was designed to present that business in an
attractive manner througli a coordination of scale, proportion and
alignment of its features. Restoration of this design, in most cases,
will reestablish the building's scale and character and expose the
original design relationships. Painting, removing later additions to
the facade or adding trim or other elements can also achieve the
restoration of the intended design statement.
2. HACH S'ROREYRONT SIIOUI.D BE IDFMRIFIABLE
Additions to facades over time and renovations that include two to
three storefronts within one design exist in sections of the Resort
Area. These are confusing to shoppers when trying to locate the
entrance to a particular business. Color and design should be used to
properly identify each storefront and reestablish the rhythm of facades
along the street.
3. EXPOSE ORIGM" WINDOW AND DOOR OI'ENINGS
Orice ttie original olieniiigs for storefront windows and doors are
restored, tHe proper proportions of the facade will be more clear.
Where this is not possible, due to later construction or the present
type of business, efforts should be made to identify these openings
with paint or applied trim.
4. AVOID ARTIFICIAL NATERIALS THAT DO NOT FIT WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN
IbFFENTIONS
Materials that are artificial to the original design, construction and
materials present a confusing identity to visitors. Aluminum si.ding,
for example, is a residential material alid does not fit in a commercial
district. The use of wood, brick, stucco and glass is appropriate but
should be designed to fit with the lines for the facade and its urban
setting.
5. REMOVE EXTRANEOUS MATUIAL FROM TIIE FACADE
Unused sign mounting brackets, old metal clips, utility boxes, obsolete
pipes, vents and, if possible, front air conditioners should be removed
to cleaii-up the facade and prevent rust stains and mortar deteriora-
tion.
6. REMOVE SIGNS TIIAT DO NOT FIT WITH THE DESIGN CIIARACTER AND PROPORTIONS
OF 'ME FACADE
Signs can provide a level of distiiictive identity to the Resort Area.
Their design should be compatible with the building and storefront in
addition to identifying the nature of the business. Individuality and
image are encouraged within a framework of quality. Sign color,
material, size and sliape should reinforce tlie proportions of the facade
and be coordinated with other features of the building. Signs sbould
be legible, clear, attractive, placed logically and not obscure
openings or building details, and be constructed of durable materials.
Generally, signs should be indirectly lighted. Sel.f-illuminated signs
should not be more intense than neighboring signs so tliat all signs are
visible to shoppers.
This guideline sliould be used in conjunction with the City of Virginia
Beacli's new sign ordinance. Signs allowed iinder this ordinance along
with the guideline will create a pattern of coherence and quality along
Atlantic Avenue.
7. PLACE BOITOH OF SIGNS Kr ELEVEN FEET FROH SIDEWALK GRADE
A strong sense of cohesiveness and order is achieved wlien signs are
aligned to establish a visual base line on the street. The eleven foot
placement will provide an easily identifiable location for shoppers to
look for a particular business and reduce confusion. Individuality is
encouraged in sign shape since a whole block will become unified
through this element. When placement of signs is not possible at
eleven feet, city staff will recommend placement and notify zoning
officials of their recommendations.
8. ENCROAC@S SilOtllD BE KLIPT TO A MINIMUM
Fixed, rigid frame awnings may be placed over facade openings if needed
for sun or weather protection. Awnings should be designed to comple-
ment the architectural features of the facade and not overwhelin the
building or the street. Signs on awnings are encouraged but will be
coiisidered a portion of the building sign allotment. A maximum of six
inch letters sliould be used on awning signs. Recommended size of
awnings is:
Width - 85% of the front footage of the facade (recomniended),
the awning is not to extend to the property line or edge of
the face of tlie buil.ding.
Extensions - three feet I)eyond the face of the facade
(maximum)
Bottom Height - eight feet six inches above the sidewalk
grade (minimum) with an additional eight inches allowable for
a valence.
There may be unusual. situations where the reconimended awning width and
lieiglit niay not be possible, iii those situations it is important to
ensure tbat the awning dimensions are compatible with the adjacent
buildings and awnings.
The attached list of recommended awning colors should be used to coordinate
awnings with other colors on the street.
NOTE: Approval for encroachments in the public way is required for awnings
recommended in this guideline.
Many of the resort area buildings include facade elements which overhang the
public right-of-way, these elements iiicl.ude roofs, canopies, awnings, marquees.
Encroachments for these elements may be considered based on the followilig
criteria:
Original Part of Structure - overhanging elements must be an
integral part of tlie original building structure. The
encroaclmient applicant is responsible for providing
appropriate information relating to the design, and
construction specifications of the overhanging elements.
Unreasonable D,m-ge - overhanging elements should be per-
mitted only if the property owner can demonstrate tlie removal
would cause unreasonable damage to tbe building.
Overhaiiging eleinents or portioiis of the elements should not be
permitted based on the following criteria:
Signs - no signs allowed on overhanging elements except as
identified in tlie awning guidelines.
Visual supports - overhangs supported by cables and other
structural supports which are visible from the exterior of
the building are not permitted.
Dimensions - w.Ldtli, bottom height, and extension should
comply witti the awning dimensions outlined above. In some
cases compliance with the recommended dimensions may be
modified and permitted based on structural and or design
consistency, considerations for public safety, and
coordination with adjacent building.
9. LIGIIT TNTERIOR OF STOREFROITR WINDOWS AND NOT THE EXTERIOR OF THE FACADE
Lighting of interiors beliind the storefront glass reduces and allows
displays to be visible from tile outside. Interior lighting can also
improve security by making activities visible from the outside.
fnterior lighting is a geiieral recojwneridation and n6t necessarily
appropriate for all busiiiess(,s, liowever, all retail display windows
should be adequately lighted from interior sources.
A consistent level of exterior lighting along each block should be
implemented. Exterior lighting should emphasize signs and the top of
facades from eleven feet to the roofline of bilildings. Until the time
that pedestrian level lights are installed, exterior lighting of
buildings may be pernii.tted as foll.ows:
Mounting - exterior lights should be flush mounted and not
extend more than 12" (twelve) inches maximum from the face of
the building facade.
Direction - no more than 50% of the illumination of the
lights should fall on the face of the building.
Number - flush mounted lights are not to exceed three (3) for
each twenty feet of building frontage.
Awning lighting - lights beneath the awnings for the purpose
of backlighting tlie awning or storefront entry lighting may
be permitted.
Perimeter ligbting - nonpulsating, white, perilneter lights
outlining only awnings and the building rooflines will be
permitted. Adjacent or connected buildings should be
encoLiraged to coordinate this type of lighting to facilitate
a unified and consistent treatment of building facades.
10. USE COLORS FROM 'nM RECOMMENDED COLOR SCHEKE FOR ATLANTIC AVENUE FOR
PAIlTrING FACADES AND BIJILDING PArrS.
Colors should compliment the architectural facade and be compatible
witli adjacent buildings. Color combinations on each facade should be
limited to three colors: an overall base color and two accent colors.
Side and rear walls should avoid liarsh shifts from the facade colors.
The attached list of recommended colors should be used to produce a
complimentary series of facades on each block and a consistent mood
throughout the shopping district. Colors will be reviewed for
compatibility with adjacent properties and overall conformity with the
intentions of the facade program. Uiiusual or special situations my
occur which will require a flexible interpretation of the color
recommendations.
ii. TWO STORY FACADES SHOULD FOUOW THESE GUIDELINFS FOR IMPRO S
These guidelines are intended for two story buildings with activities
on the second floor as well as for one story buildings. Buildings with
three or more floors should apply these guidelines to first floor
co[nmercial frontage and to the rest of the building as appropriate.
12. MAINTAIN BUILJ)INGS PROPFRLY
Facades of buildings sliould be iiiaintained to prevent sLrLictural
deterioration of materials aiid an tinsightly appearance. Eacli facade
stiould be inspected and evaluated to determine the effects of weather
on tlie condition of materials. Proper maintenance includes the
following facade elements:
Masonry (brick, stone, terra cotta... ) requires periodic
cleaning to remove surface dirt and grime. Water or gentle
chemicals should I)e used. Sandblasting is not recommended.
Paint on masonry should be replaced every two to five years
to preserve the quality of the color and the surface finish
on the facade. Repainting to replace washed out mortar or
repair cracks should be mixed to match the color and consist-
ency of the existing mortar.
Wood should be repainted every two to five years. Rotted or
damaged pieces should be replaced in a manner as to conceal
their installation.
Parapet walls and copings should be repaired and restored to
their original size and shape. The joint at the intersection
of the roof and parapet should be properly flashed and sealed
to prevent water from entering the building.
Roofs should be repaired, if leaking, and gutters, downspouts
and flashing repaired or replaced.
Storefront windows and caulking should be replaced, if
needed, and drip sills set at the top and bottom of windows
to prevent water from flowing behind surface materials. Weep
holes should be opened at the base of facades if there is an
indication of water behind the surface.
Metal surfaces should be cleaned gently to remove loose or
peeling paint and all corrosion in preparation for painting.
Prime surfaces with an appropriate rust inhibitor and then
paint with an oil base paint.

Councilman Moss referenced the Meeting relative the SOUTHEASTERN EXPRFSSWAY, on
Wednesday, March 9, 1988 in Chesapeake.
Corrections on the MASTER PLAN have been made and more will continue to be made
because the traffic counts are so dated. As the City proceeds along the path
related to the SOUTHEASTERN EXPRESSWAY and investigates what interchanges
wished to be developed now and in the future, perhaps the City should consider
updating those traffic counts and how that might impact the City's position
concerning the SOUTHEASTERN EXPRESSWAY, the Interchanges and secondly the roads
feeding those Interchanges.
The City Manager is preparing a briefing in the near future related to traffic
impacts and staffing issues associated with providing the best traffic data.
As the NOTICE was very short, City Council suggested the State Highway
Department display courtesy by providing more adequate notice of meetings
related to the SOUTHFASTERN EXPRESSWAY in the future.
