ELLIS, JR FOR A VARIANCE TO SECTION 4.4(B) OF THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS RE SUBDIVIDE THE LOT TO CREATE TWO (2) SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING LOTS AT 2620 BROAD BAY ROAD DISTRICT 8 (DEFERRED FROM APRIL 16, 2024) Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia on the day of .

Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: CARL R. ELLIS, JR. [Applicant & Property Owner] Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4 (b) of the Subdivision Regulations) for the property located at 2620 Broad Bay Road (GPIN 1499688214). COUNCIL DISTRICT 8 MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024 (Deferred on April 16, 2024)  Background: The existing lot was created by deed in 1952, prior to the adoption of the City’s Subdivision Regulations. Lot 8 is currently developed with a single-family dwelling. The applicant seeks to subdivide the lot into two single-family dwelling lots. A Subdivision Variance to Section 4.4 (b) of the Subdivision Regulations is needed as the two proposed lots will not meet the lot width requirement of 80 feet, measured at the 30-foot front yard setback. Proposed Lot 8A is deficient by 0.97 feet and proposed Lot 8B is deficient by 1.49 feet. Except for the lot width, the proposed lots meet all the dimensional standards for property zoned R-10 Residential District. Since the Subdivision Regulations require a 50-foot right-of- way width and the current right-of-way width on this portion of Broad Bay Road is 40 feet, the applicant is proposing a 5-foot right-of-way reservation, which will be dedicated prior to the development of these lots. The proposed home styles provide high quality and attractive buildings that will be compatible with the variety of housing sizes and styles in this area. At the April 16, 2024, City Council hearing, the applicant’s representative requested a 30-day deferral to allow additional time to meet with those in the surrounding neighborhoods in opposition to the request to attempt to address their concerns related to the variance request.  Considerations: Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations provide criteria for which City Council may grant Subdivision Variance requests. The Planning Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation of the approval of this request. The applicant has agreed to Condition 3 that the dedication for the road width will occur after the plat is recorded and prior to any development of the lots. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. Seven (7) letters of support and thirty (30) letters of opposition were received for this application. Three (3) speakers were in attendance at the Planning Commission hearing and expressed concerns that the Packet Pg. 59 5.L.1.a Carl R. Ellis, Jr. Page 2 of 2 Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R.

Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of new homes will change the look and feel of the neighborhood, decrease property values, and affect the privacy of surrounding neighbors.  Recommendation: On March 13, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 8 to 2. 1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning & Community Development prior to the recordation, which shall be in substantial conformance to the submitted exhibit entitled “PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION OF LOT 8 BROAD BAY COLONY,” prepared by Gallup Surveyors & Engineers, dated April 13, 2022, a copy of which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning & Community Development. 2.

The applicant shall reserve for dedication to the City toward making Broad Bay Road a minimum 50 feet wide. Said reservation for future dedication shall be a minimum of five (5) feet wide along Broad Bay Road that fronts the proposed lots, and the dedication shall be completed prior to the development or redevelopment of any of the proposed lots.  Attachments: Staff Report and Disclosure Statements Location Map Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Letter(s) of Support (7) Letter(s) of Opposition (30) Recommended Action: Staff recommends Approval.

Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of • The subject lot is zoned R-10 Residential District and is currently developed with a single-family dwelling. The lot was established by plat in March 1952 (M.B. 29, PG. 48), prior to the adoption of the City’s Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances. • The applicant seeks to subdivide the property to create two residential lots. While both lots would meet the 10,000 square foot minimum lot area requirement, the lots will not meet the lot width requirement of 80 feet measured at the 30-foot front yard setback. Therefore, a variance to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations is required. • As shown below, the proposed lots, Lots 8A and 8B, meet the dimensional standards for properties in the R-10 Residential District, except for the minimum lot width requirement.

Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship. B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected. Carl R. Ellis, Jr. Agenda Item 10 Packet Page Pg.262 5.L.1.a C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance. D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance. E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance. The request to address the reduction in lot width for Lots 8A and 8B is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. Staff believes the proposed lots will not be out of character with the surrounding area and finds the variance request to be compliant with the conditions of Section 9.3 and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s vision for the Suburban Area. Development within this area focuses on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods. Achieving this goal reflects on the ability for developments to maintain and enhance the existing neighborhood, to be compatible with surroundings, and provide quality and attractive buildings with effective buffering and livability. Staff finds the proposed buildings to be high quality and attractive. Condition 2 is recommended to ensure that the design and exterior building materials shown are developed in substantial conformance to the elevations, as conditioned. As stated previously, it is the intent of the applicant to subdivide the 23,681 square foot site into two lots for the development of two single-family dwellings, which requires a variance to the lot width requirement of 80 feet. Proposed Lots 8A and 8B meet all the dimensional requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for the R-10 Residential District, except for the lot width requirement, both of which are just shy of the required 80 feet. Section 4.1 (m) of the Subdivision Regulations, requires a 50-foot right-of-way width; however, the existing right-of-way is currently 40-feet wide, as originally platted in MB 29, PG 48. The applicant has agreed to provide a five-foot right-of-way reservation, as noted in Condition 3. The applicant is agreeable to this condition that the reservation for the road width will occur and will take place immediately after the plat is recorded and prior to any development of the lots. A reservation for this future dedication will be shown on the subdivision plat. Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below. Recommended Conditions 1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning & Community Development prior to the recordation, which shall be in substantial conformance to the submitted exhibit entitled “PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION OF LOT 8 BROAD BAY COLONY,” prepared by Gallup Surveyors & Engineers, dated April 13, 2022, a copy of which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning & Community Development. 2.

The applicant shall reserve for dedication to the City toward making Broad Bay Road a minimum 50 feet wide. Said reservation for future dedication shall be a minimum of five (5) feet wide along Broad Bay Road that fronts the proposed lots, and the dedication shall be completed prior to the development or redevelopment of any of the proposed lots.

The Plan’s primary guiding principle for the Suburban Area is to create “Great Neighborhoods,” and to support those neighborhoods with complementary non-residential uses in such a way that working together the stability and sustainability of the Suburban Area is ensured for now and the future.

Ellis Jr., a subdivision variance of section 4.4(b) of the subdivision regulations at 2620 Broad Bay Road in District 8. Mr. Bourdon: Madam Chair, members of the Planning Commission, Eddie Bourdon Virginia Beach attorney represent Dr. Carl Ellis Jr. who's the applicant on this case. I have given you all, provided you all a lot of handouts. I think it's extremely important that you take a moment or two to review them. I'm going to discuss them with you. But start with very simply, Ms. Ellis has owned this property for many, many years. It is a parcel that was created on the original subdivision plat of Broad Bay Colony, which I've given you a copy of. It happens to also share its western boundary with a prior subdivision, different subdivision, different development called Broad Bay Point, and at that, where the two come together, the two parcels that were developed by separate developers on separate flats, you'll notice that the road, which I've circled on that plat in orange makes an extreme immediate turn to the northeast, and not even a turn, and creates a situation that is really the contributor to the need for this one de minimis little variance. You'll note that the two lies to be created both exceed in one case by 2,750 square feet, and the other by 924 square feet, the minimum lot size. The street frontage, you will also note 85.02 feet and 84.77 feet. It is only at the setback that one is a little less than a foot short, and the other is a little less than a foot, and a half short, but the lots are well, much larger than, than the 10,000 foot requirement. The homes are very attractive. They're also will be expensive, and they're also in keeping with the redevelopment that has been occurring over decades in both Broad Bay Colony and Broad Bay Point. Staff recommendation is acceptable. The conditions are acceptable. Most importantly, this is what has been an ongoing redevelopment over many, many, many years. You will note on what I handed out to you, a lot of lots that are, outlined in yellow, and have either the 1, 2, 3 for the 3 that were the 3 subdivisions, 1 being a 3 lot, other two being 2 lot, re-subdivisions that were done from the original platted lots, and the others labeled A through G being subdivisions of existing Packet Pg. 76 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of original lots under these plats that were subdivided into two lots of which there are I believe 22. There are 22 current lots just on this little postage stamp on the composite map. That are highlighted, that were subdivisions of the original parcels as platted in in the plats that I gave you, and I've highlighted those original on those two plats as well. This is absolutely the way that the newer, more valuable homes have developed at, and not on slabs, but up, and let me hasten to answer a question that was asked this morning. This property, the only CVPA impact is on the front. Of the property, not where the houses are to be built. There's no RPA encroachment at all with these two lots. The property next door, I've labeled G, and I've provided you with the subdivision plat of that property that was done in the year 2000. That piece of property had just barely 20, 000 square feet, and two lots that were created that just barely get over the 10,000 square feet. Very, very much similar to these only smaller. No right-of-way dedication or reservation, even though the subdivision order is the same then as it is now, was required. Had it been, they wouldn't have had, 10,000 square feet per lot. The lot that's labeled one, the two lot subdivision there, there's no road frontage. That was a variance for that one. The variances on lot two, or the variance on lot two was for a 70 feet lot width, instead of a 80 feet lot with granted, and again the three, which is kind of off the side Bay Road that also was a lot frontage variance to not lot frontage, on a public street. So, the notion that this is somehow, I'm going to set some precedent, not at all. This is the type of organic redevelopment that we're blessed in the City of Virginia Beach to have. This property has been zoned R-10 since we got, since we've had zoning. It just so happens that it was platted before we had zoning or subdivision ordinance, if we'd had a zoning and a subdivision ordinance, the issue with the starting of this plat, and the road the way it begins, which creates the problem would not have occurred, but we didn't have a subdivision ordinance when these subdivisions were put to record back in the early 1950s, but the simple fact of the matter is there, of the people who, and I've given you petitions of folks who are in favor of this application, the folks who've given you opposition, 13 of those people that y'all had the map bought this morning with the stars, 13 of those are on lots that are re-subdivisions of original lots, and these roads are not 50 foot roads on Bay Island, they're narrower right of ways, and the value difference is incredible. The property adjacent that I've listed is G. It's given you the addresses, and it's got, it's got actually a picture of both of the houses. The original, before it was subdivided into two lots, the land was valued at 100,000, just the land, and the, the year after it was subdivided, each lot was worth 130,000 or 260,000. The houses on those lots today, the lots are worth 400 or assessed at $431,000 to $432,000 each, and the total values are Packet Pg. 77 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of $790 and $770. The lots at number two, those lots are all and the houses are all well over a million, and when the property was subdivided into three lots, the value of the whole thing was in the mid-four range. So it's organic redevelopment, and the houses that were built originally have zero stormwater. There was no stormwater ordinance for many years after these plats, even after we had zoning. So the redevelopment, as it's been occurring, at least on those lots, there is, and they will be required for quality reasons, for stormwater quality, they will have to implement BMP’s for that. They’re not on site holding of the water, other than to meet the quality requirements. So that’s another benefit. So there will be stormwater quality benefit, by the redevelopment of this lot, just as been the case with the majority of the other ones that are noted on the exhibit I have passed out to everyone, and so just to be clear, when I read this petition, there’s a lot of things in there that are just not factually accurate with the history of these properties, and these two subdivisions on the Bay Island, and these will be high quality homes that will not do anything other than. The negative is, it continues to increase in property values, and the taxes that along with it. I will be happy to answer any questions? Ms. Cuellar: Thank you. Are there any questions? Mr. Mauch? Mr. Mauch: How many of the 22 previously subdivided lots are opposed to subdividing? Mr. Bourdon; There’re 13, that I counted on the map, because I had all those map. There were 13 of those including Ms. Black, who subdivided lots directly adjacent to Dr. Ellis. Ms. Black tried to get Dr. Ellis to provide her with some additional land because the initial survey that she had done on her property actually indicate that she had less than 10,000 square feet. Then she had another surveyor go out and survey it to determine that she had a little more than 10,000 square feet, but Dr. Ellis knew that, you know, if he was gonna subdivide what she planned on doing he needed every inch of the width, so he couldn't give her property off of his east side, so she would have 10,000, but then, a surveyor certified that she did have 10,000, a little over 10,000, but that was without having to do any right-of-way dedication, which Dr. Ellis is able to do. Mr. Mauch: Maybe this is for staff, but with what he's provided about this being done before a President already being there? Is that the case in your eyes? Ms. Cuellar: I don't have a copy of what was provided because I wanted to make sure there was enough for the group. Packet Pg. 78 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R.

Seems like Commissioner Byler might have a question in the meantime. Ms. Cuellar: Commissioner Byler. Ms. Byler: Attorney Bourdon, you indicate if I heard correctly that there were 13 other lots of this, and they're now opposing, but in fact, they're sitting on redeveloped lots, correct? Mr. Bourdon: Thirteen of the people who sent in the form letters, they all sent in, are people who live in houses on lots that were created by dividing the original lots. Ms. Byler: Previously re-subdivided. So are all 13 of those lots that did not meet the minimum 80 foot width requirement? Mr. Bourdon: No, I didn't suggest that. I didn't suggest that. It's a character of the neighborhood argument, and that they'll devalue, that there'll be cheap lots, that those, that are set forth, but there are three just in this area. There are others, there are others on Bay Island. These aren't the only three that were approved, these subdivisions that were approved with variances either. There are other, this, I just used this -- just this little subset. There are plenty more. I didn't do the whole, you know, the whole Bay Island. This was sufficient to show that it's, it's in character with and it's, again, it, these lots, you know, these two lots are well over 10,000 square feet versus, and that's with giving the city a right-of-way, you know, dedication, which couldn't be done next door. They wouldn't have had -- they wouldn't have had 10,000 square feet, and these are lot. Ms. Byler: Right. So they're in excess of the square footage requirement, but they still do not meet the 80 feet width requirement. Mr. Bourdon: Don't meet the 80 feet width at the 30 feet setback. Ms. Byler: I just wanted to make sure we weren't -- that we were comparing different items because they're not the same. Those 13 who objected. Mr. Bourdon: People are free to object. I'm no one suggesting, that I didn't say they couldn't object. I simply said that the basis for their objections stated in their form letter isn't accurate. These aren't cheap lots. It's not changing the character of the neighborhood. They're -- it's been going on in this neighborhood for decades, and will continue to. Packet Pg. 79 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of Ms. Byler: It's just that these lots don't meet the 80 feet required minimum. That's the distinction. Some have been approved with variances because they don't meet street frontage or lot width. Not just these three that are shown in, that the city has noted in that area, there are others on the island that are in the same. Whether or not anyone, and I didn’t look. I mean, it’s possible. I don’t recall trying to make the determination, I was looking in there, and you had the red stars up there, but actually, I do think that I am pretty sure, one of them, but I had to look at the map with the red stars with the one they got the 70 foot, the lot, not the person objecting, that has the lot with the 70 feet frontage instead on the opposite side of Broad Bay Road. Ms. Cuellar: Any other questions? Madam clerk, do we have any speakers on this item? Madam Clerk: Yes, ma’am, we have Stacy Lawler, followed by Robert Lawler. Mr. Lawler: Good afternoon Planning Commission. My name is Rob Lawler. I'm a homeowner at 2032 Long Creek Road in Bay Island. I live within 500 feet of the proposed variance request to allow for the subdivision of a lot at 2620 Broad Bay Road to build two homes. I am here to strongly oppose the subdivision and variance requests. I believe, and my neighbors believe, this request sets an incredibly poor precedent for all planned neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. All zoning laws are enacted for a purpose, and this is especially true, for residential neighborhoods. When these laws are not protected, it compromises the reason people purchase and invest in their communities. The existing lot minimums are in place for a reason. When you start compromising with variance, especially when it's significant, it's building two homes on a lot zone for one, you put the integrity of all neighborhoods on a slippery slope. It is very important to note, 30 neighbors within 500 feet of 2620 Broad Bay Island are very much opposed to this variance request. Conversely, there is one residence within 500 feet in favor. Simple math, 30 against, 1 in favor. All viewers sent copies. A Form Letter that was personally signed, read, and commented on by the 30 people post this variance request. These letters were mailed to Marchelle Coleman, Planning Development City Planner, Virginia Beach on March 7th. Ms. Coleman said she would forward these letters to the Planning Commission, and City Council for review prior to this meeting. I'm assuming you all had a chance to review them. A few, or in this case, the one, should not take precedence over the vast majority of neighbors near the property who opposed this variance request. It's a simple argument. The laws are the laws. Zoning laws are in place for a reason, and I'm asking, on behalf of myself, and the 30 people opposed to this variance, to simply maintain the integrity of the established zoning laws in place. Thank you for your time. Packet Pg. 80 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Madam Clerk: Beth Dubinsky, and Dennis will follow Beth. Ms. Dubinsky: Hello, my name is Beth Dubinsky, and I live at -- my husband and I own 2030 Long Creek Road, and it is adjacent to 2620 Broad Bay Road. The handout that I'm giving, Mr. Ellis Rick's house is in the middle. The Jarvis’s house is next to the White House, and then my house is the one that's pinned, so the majority of my backyard butts up next to Rick's backyard. Both my husband and I, we strongly oppose this request for the zoning variance to subdivide the property. I've only been on Long Creek Road since about 2016, and we were drawn to the property because of the charm of the neighborhood, and the privacy of the backyard. I respectfully disagree that the way of the neighborhood is keeping those, you know, half acre lot, people are bulldozing and building new, which is exactly what my husband and I did. We moved into a house that was built in 62, bought it from the children of the original owner, and much to our surprise, the none of the wiring, and the plumbing was up to code, so we had to do something. We didn't even think to subdivide our lot. We wanted to keep the integrity of the neighborhood and our privacy. I think it is an expectation that when you buy a piece of property in an established neighborhood such as Bay Island, that the property lines that have been there for decades will remain the same. Our backyard, like I said, does directly face Mr. Ellis's backyard and the proposal that he has to put the houses on there is going to, this two story house is going to directly overlook our backyard, and I know that some houses are like that, and that they buy, you know, but that's not the piece of property that we bought, and there's no guarantee how far back on the property he's going to go. I know in the letter that he sent to, you know, walked around the neighborhood, he said that he was going to set the houses as far back as he could on the property, that's going to be right up to my backyard. I would also like to point out that six of the seven letters in support of the variance request live quite far away our pieces of property. There, you know, some of them are almost a mile away, and that’s not gonna affect their daily life and their property. When they go out and sit in their backyard, they're not gonna worry, you know, someone staring down at them. That's about all I have to say, and I just appreciate the time today to speak and have you listen to my thoughts on this issue. Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much for being with us. Any questions? Madam Clerk: Our last speaker is Dennis Janikowski. Packet Pg. 81 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of Mr. Janikowski: Good afternoon. I'm Dennis Janikowski. Thank you for hearing my perspective today. I am one of the people that is on the next door. I live next door to Rick Ellis. I'm on the subdivided lot that Ms. Black separated years ago. Interestingly, on our size of our lot, there's no windows on the side that were so close to Barbara Black, but on the side of the house facing Rick Ellis, we've got bedroom windows, kitchen windows, living room windows. So part of our personal concern is for our privacy. I have passed out a few things that are maybe also discuss what the lawyer had brought up. For one, I think when you, we bought on the island because when you drive around there, it has character. There's one road in, one road out. The Planning Commission details did not discuss traffic, but the city's been studying traffic and speeding on the island for the last 20 years, and it's a problem. They're about to put in eight speed tables in our neighborhood. So more density in our neighborhood is not super desirable to a lot of people. That's why I think we focused, we went around and with the “Form Letter” and asked the neighbors, the only neighbors within 500 feet. We didn't go out to friends and family that are somewhere else in the neighborhood, and 30 people said that they were opposed to this. They did not want increased density. They did not support the idea of dividing lots. So one of those handouts has just probably the same thing your stars had, but it was reflecting how many people within 500 feet that answered the door because not everybody, the other people didn't oppose only one person. There were two people who opposed, one of them changed their mind, and rather supported. One changed their mind and opposed later on. When it comes to the division of plats that the lawyer brought up, that may be true, or I believe it's true, but I don't know when that happened, but if you drive around the island today, you will see that there are certain homes that it looks like, yep, that's a split lot. One of those handouts that's in there is, I think it's 2000 White Hill Road, and 2029 Hackberry. That's an example of a typical what people are doing when they split the lots. When we moved into the island in 2003, we've been there 24 years. In 2001, we were told there were 384 homes on the island. I've heard recently that there's 410. I can't verify that, but it does say that there has been some precedent for splitting homes. What you normally see when people split homes is they split it with a pretty big nicer home, or they knock down a ranch, and they put a pretty big nice home on that ranch. One of those drawings, I think the context if you just look at the plat that he's suggesting or wants to build on, it doesn't consider the lots that are next door or nearby. So I ask a CAD expert to draw that. I wanted to see what my land and my house looks like right next to his, in part to understand the privacy implications, the flooding Packet Pg. 82 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of implications, what we might have to do to put up landscaping. So we're not looking into their yard, et cetera. Part of what we see in that drawing is a place in our yard. We're like the low part of the saucer bowl. Where we have flooding is kind of right up close to where his house is. So, if they raise the land or if water is not dripping through the way that it does today, we risk increased flooding to our piece of land. I know we're going to have to put in landscaping and suffer costs if we need to, add to the privacy that we have today. So those are personal impacts. Most of what I've been thinking about over the last weeks, and as I talked to all the neighbors was the precedent to the neighborhood. One that drawing that has my house, and the two of his, you will see at least from a Square footage of the footprint of the property. Ours is like 22,00 square feet, and the property adjacent to us would be 1,530 square feet. So that's about 70%. That's also 70% of what he has on the property today. So, it's not putting a nice big house in there, like is the precedent that I'm used to seeing on the island. Thank you very much. Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much for being here. Excuse me, we have a question. Commissioner Plumlee. Mr. Plumlee: Do you know if there's any private covenant restricting these lots from subdivision or to a one-single family home? Mr. Janikowski: I don't know if I said in my intro, but I'm an IT guy who happens to live next door, and cares about our neighborhood, and I don't know about that. Mr. Plumlee: But with regards to your title when you bought your house, you don't recall there being a covenant saying this is restricted to one dwelling on this one lot? Mr. Janikowski: No, but I mean, our yard so there was commentary about 20,000 square feet that got divided into two pieces and, both being, I guess, just barely above 10,000. We think rules are rules, and if it's 10,000, it's a good enough, if the minimum wasn't good enough, it wouldn't be the minimum. Mr. Plumlee: So it's not subdividing, it's just simply the size of the lot. Mr. Janikowski: On our lot, I think you're asking. Mr. Plumlee: With regards to this proposal, I don't want to mistake you. You're saying, you object to it subdividing because of the size of the lot, not because of the actual subdivide, was that fair? Packet Pg. 83 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R. Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of Mr. Janikowski: We object to the division of the lot because it's not meeting the code. There's no homeowner's association to enforce what is supposed to happen about the look and feel of our neighborhood, except for the zoning laws. He does not meet the frontage requirement. There was commentary that we don't meet the frontage requirement, but that must not have been a requirement when our house was built, so I can't do anything about that. Mr. Plumlee: Understood. Ms. Cuellar: I think we needed this back. There's a little note. Madam Clerk: That was our last speaker, Madam Chairman. Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Madam Clerk, did you say that was the last speaker? Okay, thank you. I'd like to open this up for discussion. Mr. Bourdon: So just to be clear, there is no, there are no deed restrictions that restrict the division of lots in either of these two original neighborhoods, and these homes that are proposed will meet all setback requirements, and they don't exceed or even get to the height limit. The issue or the concern about, somebody being to look into your backyard that exists everywhere, and there's again, there's nothing non-conforming about these two lots, other than the width at the 30 feet setback, which is caused by the way the road was platted, which is a hardship, and it's unique to this piece of property. These issues sometimes, unfortunately, turn into popularity contests, but land use isn't a popularity contest. The fact that Dr. Ellis is not building a super large house, is then used as an objection. I don't quite get that. He could have built a bigger house, and have more rooms looking across the fence, or whatever the case may be, but the orientation, and the gentleman who spoke his, where he lives was one of the last that was subdivided. I don't believe, and I didn't assert that it didn't meet the lot square footage, nor the lot width from my, from what I understand. It's one on the opposite side of the street from him that that's the case, and didn't have the frontage on the street. There's been a varying interpretation over the years as to whether these streets, the side streets or public streets or not, and that's one of the reasons why there are a whole lot of variances on the island that aren't just shown here, because they, for many years, were not treated as being public streets. So, you're getting variances to split lots that didn't even have frontage on a public street, because the City didn't maintain them because they were way below the required width the street. That's not the case with this application at all, and as is demonstrated this issue that it's somehow going to be, you know, other than privacy, which isn't something that land use doesn't give you the right to restrict, what someone else can do on their property that might look into or be able to see whether they're looking or not, is irrelevant Packet Pg. 84 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R.

So, staff's recommendation is consistent with the development pattern that has taken place here. The variance is de minimis, and it will have no impact on the location of the dwellings on either lot at all, and again, the lots aren't being overbuilt at all, and there is no CVPA impact at all. Happy to answer any questions Ms. Cuellar: Commissioner Mauch? Mr. Mauch: I just wanted to get clarification on what he had said earlier, and I think y'all have had some time to research. What were the, was what he said, have there been multiple variances in this similar fashion? Ms. Gordon: Yes, there have been. We've looked just within about a 500 foot radius across the street on Broad Bay is the variance we spoke about this morning that has seven foot. There were three lots, and there was a seven foot deficiency, then there are other lots, maybe four more or four applications that encompass multiple lots, that either had no frontage on a public street, they are on private streets, or they constituted a flag lot. Mr. Mauch: Were there any that had multiple variances on multiple lots or variances on multiple lots? Ms. Gordon: Yes, there are some on Hackberry, Bay Road. As Mr. Bourdon mentioned some of these are private streets, so there is no frontage on a public street in those cases, and they cover multiple lots. Mr. Bourdon: I could add, we could have done this, so that one of the lots didn't need a variance and the other one did. I mean, the number, I mean, we tried to keep them so they were as absolutely close to everything as we could. That's why they're so de minimis. But, you know, that's the reason for it. Again, it's because of the strange angle of the road that we have this issue. Ms. Cuellar: Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson: Ms. Gordon, I don't think this matters too much, but I'm just curious. Is Dr. Ellis planning on living in one of these houses and selling the other? Mr. Bourdon: Yeah, yes, he is, yes, and he's in Richmond. He is testifying in a court hearing today. He wanted to be here, but, he hoped it would get settled, but it didn't get settled. But yes, that's correct. Ms. Cuellar: Thank you. Now we'll open it for discussion.

Ellis, Jr (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b) of Mr. Plumlee: I'll just put my thoughts in real quick. I think when it comes to the architectural character of a neighborhood, you look to the originators of the neighborhood. Typically, when there is an intent to restrict the size of the lots to one home, you'll find a private covenant even going back to the 40’s and 50’s before there was a City of Virginia Beach. Then the city overlays its policy of keeping the architectural character of a neighborhood. I've been through Broad Bay Island many times, and I've seen it, I think what is really unique about it is that it doesn't have a uniform character. There is not monotony in the design, and I don't find it offensive to subdivide this lot, to accommodate these, and make the small variance. There have been plenty of variances, so when we talk about precedence, I ask, what did the people who develop this neighborhood intend? It doesn't appear as though they intended to restrict these from being subdivided or they would have made -- many neighborhoods in Virginia Beach, have private covenants restricting the subdivision. There was a famous case Judge Morgan, who's now deceased, took all the way to the Supreme Court of Virginia trying to subdivide his lot in Bay Colony, but there was a private covenant on the property, and the Supreme Court upheld it, and even a federally appointed lifetime appointment couldn't overcome that straight up law. So, I would support this. Ms. Cuellar: Is there any other discussion? So I just wanted to comment, this is in my district. I find the opposition to be significant. I do think it's important that we respect our current zoning standards. So I'll be opposing this today. So, do we have a motion? Mr. Plumlee: I'll move to approve. Ms. Hippen: Second. Ms. Cuellar: So we have a motion by Commissioner Plumlee, a second by Commissioner Hippen. Is there anyone abstaining today? Madam Clerk? Madam Clerk: The vote is open. By a vote of 8 to 2, item number 10 has been recommended for approval. Packet Pg. 86 5.L.1.a Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Carl R. Ellis, Jr. (3909 : Carl R.

Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, Madam Vice-Chair, Mr. Chairman, and Members of the Commission, for the record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney, representing McDonald’s. I want to recognize that Dave Frantz, and Kyle Long with Kimley Horne came down today because I neglected to call, and tell them we’re on the consent agenda because Mark Anderson, I did call him, and he didn't come. He otherwise would have been here. I appreciate being on the Consent Agenda. The five conditions of the Conditional Use Permit, as recommended by the staff, are acceptable. I appreciate Marchelle’s work on this application. As for the proffers, as Marchelle mentioned in the informal, I will try to clarify something just briefly. The original proffers are four different parcels with separate proffers. All that are on the eastern half of the property. Three of those proffers had no issues with height of light fixtures. It's only the one easternmost parcel that adjoins a large residential parcel to the East at the end of Mason Street. That proffer had a hype limitation on lighting, and attorney error, I put the limitation on all the properties that are existing light fixtures on the middle parcels that are more than 8 feet in height, and to correct that, the owner of the property to the east, the residential property, is extremely happy and pleased with McDonald's and has no issues, and it's not really changing anything with regard to her property, which is the only property affected by that restriction, but the lighting on the front of the property, that's unconditional to begin with, so The Christmas lights and everything else are not in any way impacted by that restriction. It's just the back of the bulk storage yard. We appreciate being on the consent agenda. I'm gonna take the privilege for a second, and thank Mr. Kemp, Ms. Warren, Ms. Wilson, City Attorney, Mr. Styles for the first amendment -- the ordinance that you all just recommended approval of as one who's represented a number of salon owners and landlords on these applications. No one could quite figure out why there needed to be an application for that, and as Mr. Kemp said, it's been in the works for some time and, it's a needed amendment. It's just a Packet Pg. 177 5.L.3.a Attachment: 03_ARF Package for McDonald Nurseries of Virginia Beach, Inc.

Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none, I've asked Commissioner Coston to read this item into the record. Mr. Coston: The applicant, McDonald Garden Center, is relocating its headquarters to the subject site on Independence Boulevard, where it currently operates a large nursery. The applicant plans to make alterations to a site operation, and is therefore seeking to amend proffers associated with conditional rezonings approved by City Council in 1993, 94, and 97, related to the eastern 5.67 acres of the site conditional B2 community business, zoned property on Independence Boulevard. The applicant also seeks a conditional use permit for bulk storage yard to store materials, equipment, and trucks on the eastern portion of this site. The Commission agreed that it should be on the consent agenda, therefore we've placed it there. Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Mr. Chair, that was the last item on our consent agenda. The Planning Commission places the following applications on the consent agenda. Items number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12. Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Do I have a motion to approve the consent as read by the vice-chair? Ms. Hippen: So moved. Mr. Alcaraz: Motion by Ms. Hippen. I need a second. Ms. Byler: Second. Mr. Alcaraz: Second by Ms. Byler. Are there any commissioners abstaining from – Mr. Plumlee: I'm abstaining from item 5. Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Plumlee. Vote is open? Madam Clerk: The vote is now open. Awesome.

I prefer a home daycare over like a facility daycare for her at this age, because she's 2. So, that was the motivation behind it, and plus my mom and my family will actually be assisting with the daycare as well. We are prior military, myself and my mom, so we want to cater to military families as well because we know that that's hard as well. So that's just a little run down of why I would like to have in-home daycare. Mr. Alcaraz: We do have an opposition. They want to speak, and then we will have you come up, and rebut whatever he has to say. Madam Clerk: Mr. Chairman, they are apparently not online right now. Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.

Parents may choose family child care for its intimate, home-like setting, flexible hours, consistency of caregiver, and small group size. The Code of Virginia mandates the licensure of family day homes that provide care for five through twelve children (exclusive of the provider's own children and any children who reside in the home). The care may be offered in the home of the provider or in the home of any of the children in care. A family day home caring for more than four children under the age of two, including the provider's own children and any children who reside in the home, must be licensed or voluntarily registered. A family day home where the children in care are all related to the provider by blood or marriage is not required to be licensed. During the absence (less than 24 hours) of a parent or guardian, the licensed family day home provider assumes responsibility for the supervision, protection, and well-being of a child under 13 years of age. Licensing standards, which are proposed by the Virginia Board of Education and enforced by the Virginia Department of Education, ensure that the activities, services, and facilities of the family day home are conducive to the welfare of the children in care. A family day home initially receives a conditional license which is for up to a 6 month period. Licenses may then be renewed and a home may receive a one, two or three year license, depending upon their compliance history. A provisional license for a 6 month period may also be issued due to non-compliance following the issuance of a regular 1, 2 or 3 year license. A licensed family day home receives at least 2 monitoring inspections each year by their assigned inspector. Additional inspections may occur as a result of a self-reported incident, serious injury report or complaint. When non-compliance is found, a violation notice is issued to the provider. If the violation(s) are serious in nature, a determination will be made by the field office whether it is appropriate to recommend an enforcement action in the form of one of more sanctions to be issued to the program. There is an enforcement process that involves review and decision making by home office personnel before a sanction is administered. Providers have a right to appeal violations and sanctions, and there are formal processes for these actions as well. QUESTIONS? Please contact Trish Meyer, Licensing Administrator at 757-510-4026 or via email at patricia.meyer@doe.virginia.gov 1 Packet Pg. 227 5.L.5.a How to Become a Licensed Family Day Home Provider (FDH) Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Shaneequa Creighton (3913 : Shaneequa Creighton (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit 1.

Voluntary Registration is a form of regulation available to family day homes that are not required to be Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Shaneequa Creighton (3913 : Shaneequa Creighton (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit licensed. These homes have four or fewer children in care at any one time, not including the provider's own child and any children who legally reside in the home. The program is administered by the Office of Child Care Health and Safety and community-based agencies that have a contract with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to administer the program in specific areas of the state. Regulations for voluntarily registered programs are set forth in 8VAC20-850. To become registered, a family day home provider must submit an application, a $50.00 non- refundable application fee, and the results of a TB screening, the results of a criminal history search, the results of a child abuse registry search, and a completed sworn statement or affirmation for themselves, any adults that reside in the home, any assistants and any substitute providers. Additional requirements include a child abuse registry search for children, 14 to 17 years of age, residing in the home. Lastly, they must complete a self-assessment of their compliance with the health and safety requirements using the health and safety checklist. The contract agency or the Office of Child Care Health and Safety will conduct a home inspection to confirm compliance with the health and safety requirements. Upon recommendation for approval, the Superintendent for Public Instruction issues a two-year certificate of registration. During the two-year period, the contracting agency and VDOE licensing staff monitor a sample number of registered homes for compliance with the requirements. Voluntarily registered homes that are subsidy vendors will receive annual inspections to determine compliance with the Code and the subsidy health and safety requirements.

COUNCIL DISTRICT 7 MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024  Background: The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to establish a Family Day-Care Home at 1600 Castlefield Road within the Coventry subdivision. The applicant is requesting to operate a day-care for up to 12 children between the ages of one and five in a single-family dwelling. The ultimate number of children will be determined by the Department of Education based on their permitting criteria. The applicant’s primary clients will be military families, many of whom have early and late hours during which they will need access to childcare. The applicant plans to provide care seven days a week when needed and would take children from 5:00 a.m. to midnight. On a limited basis, the applicant will also provide overnight care for up to four children at a time.  Considerations: Childcare will take place within an existing single-family dwelling that has a fully enclosed rear yard. The use supports the Comprehensive Plan’s goal for establishing and sustaining “Great Neighborhoods” in the Suburban Area by providing a necessary and complementary non-residential use in this neighborhood. The earlier and later-than typical hours will also help lessen traffic impacts of parents dropping off/picking up children on adjacent residents by spreading the times across a larger range and by occurring during off-peak hours of travel. The applicant has provided four signatures of support from adjacent neighbors. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.  Recommendation: On April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 9-0.

No exterior alterations or changes are being proposed. • The applicant’s primary clients will be military families, many of whom have early and late hours during which they will need to access childcare.

The addition of a Family Day-Care Home is compatible with that principle as it provides a needed residential service that has a relative low intensity.

Parents may choose family child care for its intimate, home-like setting, flexible hours, consistency of caregiver, and small group size. The Code of Virginia mandates the licensure of family day homes that provide care for five through twelve children (exclusive of the provider's own children and any children who reside in the home). The care may be offered in the home of the provider or in the home of any of the children in care. A family day home caring for more than four children under the age of two, including the provider's own children and any children who reside in the home, must be licensed or voluntarily registered. A family day home where the children in care are all related to the provider by blood or marriage is not required to be licensed. During the absence (less than 24 hours) of a parent or guardian, the licensed family day home provider assumes responsibility for the supervision, protection, and well-being of a child under 13 years of age. Licensing standards, which are proposed by the Virginia Board of Education and enforced by the Virginia Department of Education, ensure that the activities, services, and facilities of the family day home are conducive to the welfare of the children in care. A family day home initially receives a conditional license which is for up to a 6 month period. Licenses may then be renewed and a home may receive a one, two or three year license, depending upon their compliance history. A provisional license for a 6 month period may also be issued due to non-compliance following the issuance of a regular 1, 2 or 3 year license. A licensed family day home receives at least 2 monitoring inspections each year by their assigned inspector. Additional inspections may occur as a result of a self-reported incident, serious injury report or complaint. When non-compliance is found, a violation notice is issued to the provider. If the violation(s) are serious in nature, a determination will be made by the field office whether it is appropriate to recommend an enforcement action in the form of one of more sanctions to be issued to the program. There is an enforcement process that involves review and decision making by home office personnel before a sanction is administered. Providers have a right to appeal violations and sanctions, and there are formal processes for these actions as well. QUESTIONS? Please contact Trish Meyer, Licensing Administrator at 757-510-4026 or via email at patricia.meyer@doe.virginia.gov 1 Packet Pg. 258 5.L.6.a How to Become a Licensed Family Day Home Provider (FDH) Attachment: 06_ARF Package for Phenomenal Kidz (3914 : Phenomenal Kidz (Applicant) Crescente and Meryll Delgado (Property Owners) 1.

Voluntary Registration is a form of regulation available to family day homes that are not required to be Attachment: 06_ARF Package for Phenomenal Kidz (3914 : Phenomenal Kidz (Applicant) Crescente and Meryll Delgado (Property Owners) licensed. These homes have four or fewer children in care at any one time, not including the provider's own child and any children who legally reside in the home. The program is administered by the Office of Child Care Health and Safety and community-based agencies that have a contract with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to administer the program in specific areas of the state. Regulations for voluntarily registered programs are set forth in 8VAC20-850. To become registered, a family day home provider must submit an application, a $50.00 non- refundable application fee, and the results of a TB screening, the results of a criminal history search, the results of a child abuse registry search, and a completed sworn statement or affirmation for themselves, any adults that reside in the home, any assistants and any substitute providers. Additional requirements include a child abuse registry search for children, 14 to 17 years of age, residing in the home. Lastly, they must complete a self-assessment of their compliance with the health and safety requirements using the health and safety checklist. The contract agency or the Office of Child Care Health and Safety will conduct a home inspection to confirm compliance with the health and safety requirements. Upon recommendation for approval, the Superintendent for Public Instruction issues a two-year certificate of registration. During the two-year period, the contracting agency and VDOE licensing staff monitor a sample number of registered homes for compliance with the requirements. Voluntarily registered homes that are subsidy vendors will receive annual inspections to determine compliance with the Code and the subsidy health and safety requirements.

COUNCIL DISTRICT 10 MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024  Background: The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Car Wash Facility in a 2,652 square-foot suite of the Timberlake Shopping Center in order to operate an auto-detailing business. The facility will have a rinse and wash station at the rear entrance in which employees will handwash and detail personal vehicles. Most of the detailing will be conducted outdoors, however, there is an overhead door with access to the interior of the suite, which will allow some work, such as handwashing vehicles, to occur indoors if needed. Service will be by appointment only and employees will have patrons wait inside or drop off their vehicles. The applicant plans to operate primarily between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the summer, hours of operation would extend to seven days a week. No alterations to the building are proposed with the exception of the signage for the suite which will be updated to reflect the new tenant.  Considerations: The shopping center is a well-established anchor in the Timberlake area and provides a range of commercial services and businesses for nearby residents. It is located on Holland Road and South Plaza Trail, both well-traveled routes in the city, an appropriate location for commercial uses. The applicant’s proposal includes no major alterations to the existing building and, while it will add to the mix of businesses in the shopping center, no negative traffic impacts are anticipated as a result of this use. The low volume of serviced vehicles in conjunction with typical operations at this part of the shopping center (i.e., loading and unloading of trucks for other businesses, dumpster service, etc.) will have a minimal effect on neighbors. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.  Recommendation: On April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 9-0.

There is an existing auto-detailing business operating in this suite of the shopping center; this application will add hand-washing and detailing services offered at this location. The store currently sells items related to auto care and cleaning. The retail portion of the operations will remain but will be operated under a new name. • Timberlake Shopping Center is zoned PD-H1 as part of the Timberlake Land Use Plan. The land use plan limits uses on this parcel to those listed in the B-2 Community Business District. Car Wash Facilities are conditionally permitted in the B-2 Community Business District. Other businesses operating in this shopping center include restaurants, personal services, a gym, a dental office, and other convenience and supply stores. • The Car Wash Facility that the applicant is proposing is a limited operation that will be located at the rear of the suite in the loading area of the shopping center. There will be a rinse and wash station at the rear entrance in which employees will handwash and detail personal vehicles. Most of the detailing will be conducted outdoors, however, there is an overhead door with access to the interior of the suite. Some work, such as handwashing vehicles, may occur indoors. • The applicant will mark the outdoor area for detailing with paint on the existing pavement and/or with temporary bollards and ropes. • When handwashing vehicles, the applicant will place a removable drain seal atop the stormwater drain in the loading area behind their suite to prevent runoff from directly entering the stormwater system untreated. Runoff collected on the seal will need to be left to evaporate or otherwise collected, treated, and discharged in accordance with stormwater regulations. • The applicant plans to operate primarily between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the summer, hours of operation would extend to seven days a week. • Services are scheduled by appointment to avoid having customers waiting in a queue.

The shopping center is a well-established anchor in the Timberlake area and provides a range of commercial services and businesses for nearby residents. As part of the Suburban Area identified in the Comprehensive Plan, Timberlake Shopping Center continues to support the plan’s goals for the development of Great Neighborhoods by providing necessary and appealing services for adjacent residential areas. It is located on Holland Road and South Plaza Trail, both well-traveled routes in the city, an appropriate location for commercial uses. The applicant’s proposal includes no major alterations to the existing building and, while it will add to the mix of businesses in the shopping center, no negative traffic impacts are anticipated as a result of this use. Unlike automated car washes which can service hundreds of vehicles daily, the applicant estimates that only four to six vehicles will be serviced daily at the handwashing and detailing operation. The activity will take place in a defined area at the rear of the building in the loading area, a part of the shopping center that is well screened from Holland Road and South Plaza Trail by the existing building. While townhomes do abut the rear of the shopping center, there is an existing six-foot tall privacy fence that separates the residences from the shopping center. Staff acknowledges there will be noise and activity generated by this use, however, Staff believes that the low volume of serviced vehicles in conjunction with typical operations at this part of the shopping center (i.e., loading and unloading of trucks for other businesses, dumpster service, etc.) will minimally affect neighbors. To help ensure this, Staff recommends Condition 8 to prohibit the use of amplified speakers outdoors and Condition 2 to limit the hours of operation to between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. While the applicant has stated that the current intent is to only operate seven days a week during summer when there is more light and greater likelihood of fair weather, it is Staff’s opinion that the proposed hours will minimize any disruption to adjacent residents and will provide sufficient flexibility for the business as it matures. The applicant has had preliminary discussions with Public Works Stormwater Engineering regarding a plan to adequately collect and properly dispose of any water/runoff generated by the handwashing operation. The applicant will ensure that no water enters the storm drain without treatment through the use of removable drain seal. To prevent ponding or other issues, Staff recommends Condition 10 to require that the seal not be installed during inclement weather; additionally, the applicant has stated that no washing will occur when there is inclement weather. The preliminary Inti & Lugh Ventures, LLC d/b/a Reliable Detailers Agenda Item 7 PacketPage Pg. 3268 5.L.7.a information provided to Staff appears to adequately address concerns regarding runoff and Staff is recommending Condition 4 to ensure a proper solution is realized on site.

MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024  Background: The purpose of this amendment is to allow public stormwater facilities and the associated accessory components to be located within required yards to provide the necessary flexibility for such facilities and accessory components to locate where they will operate effectively, dependent on the features of the site and surrounding area.  Considerations: Two sections of the Zoning Ordinance are proposed to be amended as follows. 1. Section 201 (a) identifies the improvements that may encroach into a required yard. This amendment adds Section 201 (a)(13) which includes stormwater facilities and related accessory components as an improvement that is allowed to locate in a required yard. 2. Section 206 identifies the specific requirements for public and private pump stations, water tanks, and other unmanned utility facilities. This section currently applies only to facilities with a building less than 400 square feet. Sections 206 (a) through (d) provide the minimum lot area, lot width, and setbacks. This amendment removes the 400 square foot size limitation so that the section applies to all public and private pump stations, water tanks, and other unmanned utility facilities. Additionally, Section 206 (e) is added to exclude public stormwater facilities and accessory components from the requirements of sections (a) through (d). Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.  Recommendation: On April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 9-0.

This section currently applies only to facilities with a building less than 400 square feet. Sections 206 (a) through (d) provide the minimum lot area, lot width, and setbacks. This amendment removes the 400 square foot size limitation so that the section applies to all public and private pump stations, water tanks, and other unmanned utility facilities. Additionally, Section 206 (e) is added to exclude public stormwater facilities and accessory components from the requirements of sections (a) through (d). Recommendation Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance as it provides necessary flexibility to allow public stormwater facilities and their accessory components to locate where they will operate effectively, dependent on the features of the site and surrounding area.

If there are no further questions, is there any opposition to this being placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none, we'll then go to Item Number 2 please, City of Virginia Beach. Mr. Kemp: Thank you Item 2 is a text amendment, it’s an ordinance to amend Sections 201 and 206 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to stormwater facilities, and what this does, is it permits stormwater related facilities to encroach into setbacks. So what sparked this amendment, our proposed amendment, was when the review came in for some bond referendum projects for these stormwater pump stations. Stormwater pump stations are very dependent on certain features such as, you know, water on the site, and they, you know, because of that we are finding that they were encroaching into the setbacks. Currently, they would have to meet the setback for the zoning district. What this text amendment does is alleviate that requirement first, it changes Section 201 (a). It adds a section. That is the section that lists what can be excluded from meeting the setback requirements. It adds stormwater facilities to that. The second thing this amendment does is modifies Section 206, which is specific standards for pump stations. It does two things. One, prior to this and the current ordinance, in order to get reduced setbacks, a pump station has to be 400 square feet or less, it removes that, as we're finding that a lot of pump stations exceed this, and, you know, we're trying to kind of retrofit them in where they're needed, oftentimes on smaller lots. Then the second thing, it just lists in that section that these pump stations for stormwater facilities are exempt from those zoning requirements. I will stand by for any questions.

MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024  Background: The purpose of this amendment is to permit permanent cosmetic tattooing as an accessory use to a beauty salon or similar beauty-oriented establishments. Under current ordinance standards, any establishment performing permanent cosmetic tattooing is considered a tattoo parlor according to the definition of “tattoo parlor” in Section 111, and therefore requires a Conditional Use Permit.  Considerations: The Ordinance currently requires an establishment performing permanent cosmetic tattooing to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a tattoo parlor. The definition of “tattoo parlor” in Section 111 of the ordinance specifically includes the term “permanent makeup.” As there are fundamental differences between traditional and cosmetic tattooing, including where each of these services typically occur, this amendment would allow cosmetic tattooing an accessory use to a beauty salon or similar beauty-oriented establishments. The four specific modifications to the ordinance are listed below. • Amendments to Section 111. Definitions: 1. Add a definition of Permanent cosmetic tattooing: “Placing marks upon or under the skin of any person with ink or any other substance, by the use of needles or other instruments designed to touch or puncture the skin, resulting in the permanent or semi-permanent coloration of the skin on the face, including eyebrows, eyeliners, lip coloring, lip liners, full lips, cheek blush, eye shadow, forehead and scalp micropigmentation, and on the body for breast and scar repigmentation or camouflage.” 2. Amend the definition of “Personal Service Establishment” to include that “Permanent cosmetic tattooing is an accessory use to a personal service establishment, full-service beauty salon, in accordance with the provisions of section 209.8.” Packet Pg. 340 5.L.11.a City of Virginia Beach Page 2 of 2 Attachment: 10_ARF Package for ZOA Permanent Cosmetic Tattooing (3918 : Ordinance to AMEND Section 111 of the City Zoning Ordinance 3.

City Council has considered twenty-four applications for the addition of cosmetic tattooing to an existing salon in the past four years; all applications were approved. Additionally, the Zoning Division has not substantiated any violations regarding the cosmetic tattooing use.

We have quite a few items on the consent agenda today, and we like to start with agenda item number one, the City of Virginia Beach. If our Zoning Director, Mr. Kemp could please come forward. Mr. Kemp: Alright, thank you. The first item here is an ordinance to amend Section 111 of the City Zoning Ordinance and add Section 209.8. to the City's Zoning ordinance pertaining to permanent cosmetic make-up. Basically, what this does is it removes permanent cosmetic make-up tattooing that's done at a beauty establishment, and removes the requirement to have a conditional use permit. Staff finds this necessary. In the past four years, 24 applications have come before this Commission, and City Council, involving permanent cosmetic tattooing. All 24 were recommended for approval, and on consent. What specifically this amendment does, it does four things. First is, it adds a definition of permanent cosmetic make-up where this differentiates from tattoo parlors is that it mentions the semi-permanent versus permanent nature of cosmetic tattooing, and then it lists the specific procedures that are involved in it. The second thing, the ordinance does is it amends the definition of personal service establishment. In this definition, it adds permanent cosmetic make-up as an accessory use to that in a BD establishment. The third portion of the amendment is to amend the definition of tattoo parlor. There are two elements of this. The first is a cleanup, wh ere we specify that needles are involved in tattooing, and the second is to remove cosmetic tattooing from the definition, where now it explicitly it says that is part of a tattoo, and the last is, Section 209.8, which is the standard for cosmetic tattooin g, and that basically says that it has to be in a full service beauty salon, and that they have to abide by Chapter 23 of the City Code. I'm stand by for any questions. Ms. Cuellar: Mr. Plumlee? Mr. Plumlee: This was given notice to all the members of the community, including stakeholders that may have interest within this industry? Mr. Kemp: It was posted the way every text amendment was posted. I think it has been -- there have been rumblings about this through that community for some time, and I think, you know, through typical channels, I do think it was known throughout the community. Mr. Plumlee: Thank you. If there are no further questions, is there any opposition to this being placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none, we'll then go to Item Number 2 please, City of Virginia Beach.
