COX CABLE ITEM #19425 Councilman Jones asked the City Manager if any further clarification had been received from Cox Cable as to Cable TV stations they will "drop". The City Attorney requested this matter be discussed in EXECUTIVE SESSION. C I T Y M A N A G E R ' S A D M I N I S T R A T I V E I T E M S PATIO RESTAURANTS AND NONCONFORMING USES ITEM #19426 The City Manager asked Robert J. Scott, Planning Director, to make a presentation to Council concerning Patio Restaurants and Nonconforming Uses. The Planning Director advised that since the Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1957, there has always been a separation by regulation of the hotels on the east side of Atlantic Avenue from various commercial enterprises, including restaurants, on the west side of Atlantic Avenue. This was re-established when the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was adapted in 1973. The applicable requirements in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in 1973, and in effect in the summer of 1980, allowed accessory uses including restaurants in conjunction with hotels on the east side of Atlantic Avenue, so long as the accessory uses were not visible from outside the zoning lot. In the summer of 1980, there were found six specific hotels in violation of this requirement. These hotels were operating "so-called patio restaurants" on the boardwalk side of their properties. - 9 - In the fall of 1980, the Planning Department began to investigate the current Ordinance to determine its suitability to modern times. As a result of that investigation, the Planning Department prepared a proposed draft amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance that would allow patio restaurants subject to a number of very limiting requirements. This issued proved to be very con- troversal. Public discussion at tbe Subcommittee meetings centered on the following issues: 1. That it was of primary importance to preserve the integrity of the hotel-commercial separation represented by Atlantic Avenue. 2. That it was equally important to protect the interests of the hotel operators and those lodging at the hotel. 3. That it was impossible to differentiate by regulation between a bonafide restaurant on the one hand and a boisterous facility sometimes called a "beer joint" on the other hand. It was felt that the type of regulation that would separate the two either falls within the purview of the A.B.C. Board or constitutes business regulation as opposed to land use regulation. Therefore, this committee was unable to come up with any recommendations for improving upon the Ordinance in the Code. In March of 1981, City Council chose not to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the City staff reinstituted enforcement proceedings against those restaurant operators in violation of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. In August of 1981, the Circuit Court ruled against the City, stating the requirement that the restaurant not be visible from outside the zoning lot was invalid due to vagueness. The City was given 90 days to consider amending the Ordinance to "something that would be acceptable to the Court". In December of 1981, City Council adopted an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance that basically establishes its current position. That amendment requires full enclosure of all restaurants, upholds the principle of separation that has always been in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and has met with the approval of the Circuit Court. CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ITEM #19427 The City Manager asked Robert J. Scott, Planning Director, to make a presentation concerning the amendment to the Resolution regarding conditions and restrictions attached to rezonings. Mr. Scott advised that on November 8, 1982, City Council adopted a Resolution pertaining to conditions and restrictions attached to rezonings which states: -10- "That it shall be the policy of the City of Virginia Beach that such conditions or restrictions voluntarily offered by the landowner shall only be considered when such restrictions or conditions are submitted in writing to the Planning Department at the time the application for rezoning is submitted." "That in the event an application for rezoning is heard by the Planning Commission and an offer of such conditions or restrictions is made during the public hearing such application may be deferred, by the Planning Commission, until such time as the conditions or restrictions are submitted in writing." "That the Council of the City of Virginia Beach will not consider any conditions or restrictions, associated with the rezoning application, unless such conditions or restrictions are in written and recordable form and approved as to form and sufficiency by the City Attorney's Office." Mr. Scott advised the City is requesting the following paragraph be included: "That it shall be tbe policy of the City of Virginia Beach that such conditions or restrictions voluntarily offered by the land- owner shall only be considered wben such resttictions or conditions apply to limitations of density upon tbe site, of limitations of use upon tbe site or other similar conditions that can be readily and effectively enforced by the City of Virginia Beach at the time of tbe development of the property." Councilman Jennings requested the following be included in the amended Resolution: "That it shall be the policy of the City of Virginia Beach that such conditions or restrictions voluntarily offered by the landowner will be reviewed by the Planning Department with written comments made available to the landowner one week in advance of the Planning Commission Public Hearing." This matter will be in the FORMAL SESSION under the CONSENT AGENDA.

Oberndorf -5 1 - To: The Honorable City Council of the City of Virginia Beach The undersigned are the owners and residents of houses located on Tanager Trail in Birdneck Point, which abut the property located on Laskin Road to be developed and to be known as Gateway Office Center. We have been advised by the Developer as to his plans for development of the property and have received a copy of his site plan dated 1 December 1982. We prefer that parking be located at the rear of the site rather than a building. We have found that having a building located at the rear creates a problem with privacy. We, therefore, respectfully urge you to waive the condition Dreviously imposed and allow parking to be located at the rear of the site in question. Our request is conditioned, however, upon no parking being located within 30 feet of the rear line and upon a privacy fence at least 7 feet in height being erected along the length of the rear line of the site.

COX CABLE ITEM #19425 Councilman Jones asked the City Manager if any further clarification had been received from Cox Cable as to Cable TV stations they will " drop". The City Attorney requested this matter be discussed in EXECUTIVE SESSION. C I T Y M A N A C E R ' S A D M I N I S T R A T I V E I T E M S PATIO RESTAURANTS AND NONCONFORMING USES ITEM #19426 The City Manager asked Robert J. Scott, Planning Director, to make a presentation to Council concerning Patio Restaurants and Nonconforming Uses. The Planning Director advised that since the Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1957, there has always been a separation by regulation of tbe hotels on the east side of Atlantic Avenue from various commercial enterprises, including restaurants, on the west side of Atlantic Avenue. This was re-established when the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1973. The applicable requirements in tbe Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in 1973, and in effect in the summer of 1980, allowed accessory uses including restaurants in conjunction with hotels on the east side of Atlantic Avenue, so long as the accessory uses were not visible from outside the zoning lot. In the summer of 1980, there were found six specific hotels in violation of this requirement. These hotels were operating "so-called patio restaurants" on the boardwalk side of their properties. - 9 - In the fall of 1980, the Planning Department began to investigate the current Ordinance to determine its suitability to modern times. As a result of that investigation, the Planning Department prepared a proposed draft amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance that would allow patio restaurants subject to a number of very limiting requirements. This issued proved to be very con- troversal. Public discussion at the Subcommittee meetings centered on the following issues: 1. That it was of primary importance to preserve the integrity of the hotel-commercial separation represented by Atlantic Avenue. 2. That it was equally important to protect the interests of the hotel operators and those lodging at tbe hotel. 3. That it was impossible to differentiate by regulation between a bonafide restaurant on the one hand and a boisterous facility sometimes called a "beer joint" on the other band. It was felt that the type of regulation that would separate the two either falls within the purview of the A.B.C. Board or constitutes business regulation as opposed to land use regulation. Therefore, this committee was unable to come up with any recommendations for improving upon the Ordinance in the Code. In March of 1981, City Council chose not to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and the City staff reinstituted enforcement proceedings against those restaurant operators in violation of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. In August of 1981, the Circuit Court ruled against the City, stating the requirement that the restaurant not be visible from outside the zoning lot was invalid due to vagueness. The City was given 90 days to consider amending the Ordinance to "something that would be acceptable to the Court". In December of 1981, City Council adopted an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance that basically establishes its current position. That amendment requires full enclosure of all restaurants, upholds the principle of separation tbat has always been in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and has met with tbe approval of the Circuit Court. CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ITEM #19427 The City Manager asked Robert J. Scott, Planning Director, to make a presentation concerning the amendment to the Resolution regarding conditions and restrictions attached to rezonings. Mr. Scott advised that on November 8, 1982, City Council adopted a Resolution pertaining to conditions and restrictions attached to rezonings which states: -10- "That it shall be the policy of the City of Virginia Beach that such conditions or restrictions voluntarily offered by the landowner shall only be considered when such restrictions or conditions are submitted in writing to the Planning Department at the time the application for rezoning is submitted." "That in the event an application for rezoning is heard by tbe Planning Commission and an offer of such conditions or restrictions is made during the public hearing such application may be deferred, by the Planning Commission, until such time as the conditions or restrictions are submitted in writing." "That the Council of the City of Virginia Beach will not consider any conditions or restrictions, associated with the rezoning application, unless such conditions or restrictions are in written and recordable form and approved as to form and sufficiency by the City Attorney's Office." Mr. Scott advised the City is requesting the following paragraph be included: "That it shall be the policy of the City of Virginia Beach that such conditions or restrictions voluntarily offered by the land- owner shall only be considered when such restrictions or conditions apply to limitations of density upon the site, of limitations of use upon the site or other similar conditions that can be readily and effectively enforced by the City of Virginia Beach at the time of the development of the property." Councilman Jennings requested the following be included in the amended Resolution: "That it shall be the policy of the City of Virginia Beach that such conditions or restrictions voluntarily offered by the landowner will be reviewed by the Planning Department with written comments made available to the landowner one week in advance of the Planning Commission Public Hearing." This matter will be in the FORMAL SESSION under the CONSENT AGENDA.

Oberndorf -5 1- To: The Honorable City Council of the City of Virginia Beach The undersigned are the owners and residents of houses located on Tanager Trail in Birdneck Point, which abut the property located on Laskin Road to be developed and to be known as Gateway Office Center. We have been advised by the Developer as to his plans for development of the property and have received a copy of his site plan dated 1 December 1982. We prefer that parking be located at the rear of the site rather than a building. We have found that having a building located at the rear creates a problem with privacy. We, therefore, respectfully urge you to waive the condition previously imposed and allow parking to be located at the rear of the site in question. Our request is conditioned, however, upon no parking being located within 30 feet of the rear line and upon a privacy fence at least 7 feet in height being erected along the length of the rear line of the site.
