AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: MILITARY AVIATION MUSEUM [Applicant] VIRGINIA BEACH AIRPORT, LLC
[Property Owner] Modification of Conditions to a Conditional Use Permit for
the property located at 1341 Princess Anne Road (GPIN 2401762176).
COUNCIL DISTRICT 2
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
Background:
In 2007, City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for a museum with
subsequent approvals modifying the Conditional Use Permit in 2008 and 2011.
The current request is to modify the conditions associated with the 2011
Modification of Conditions.
More specifically, the applicant is seeking to modify the permit on the property to
expand the operating hours of the museum and add more defining criteria for
special events held on the property that were not clearly defined with previous
approvals. The current operating hours of the museum are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
seven days a week, except for summer months which allows the museum to cease
operation at dusk. The applicant is requesting to change the operating hours to
allow the museum to operate from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week, and
no later than 10:00 p.m. for any special events permitted by the City’s Special
Events Office. In addition, the applicant is requesting to have no more than 8
special events on the property per calendar year that are of an outdoor nature,
having outdoor amplified sound, and which exceed 500 persons in attendance.
Events that are customarily incidental to the museum use, such as indoor
weddings, or other charitable and social events that do not meet the criteria
mentioned above shall not be considered a special event.
Considerations:
The Military Aviation Museum has been operating on the site for over 15 years and
has been a valued community asset for both the city and the Hampton Roads area.
Staff believes and the Planning Commission concurred that the request is in
keeping with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as there will be no major
alterations to the site layout and all outdoor events will cease operation by 10:00
p.m. The Musem’s request to host up to 8 outdoor events with outdoor amplified
sound and with no more than 500 persons in attendance is reasonable and will
positively contribute to the museum’s operation while also being mindful of the
surrounding residents. The 8 special events will be permitted through the City’s
Special Events Office and thus will be reviewed individually to ensure adequate

steps are taken to minimize impacts to nearby property owners and residents. The
applicant met with the Agricultural Advisory Commission in January and April of
this year to discuss the details of the request and no objections were raised.
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.

On May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.
1. All previous conditions attached to the previous Modification of Conditions

2. The Aviation Museum may operate between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00
p.m., seven (7) days a week, and no later than 10:00 p.m. for any Special

3. The Aviation Museum is permitted to have no more than eight (8) special
events per calendar year, not including those that are customarily incidental to
the museum use, that are of an outdoor nature, have outdoor amplified sound,
and which exceed 500 persons in attendance.
4. Subdivision of any of the Museum’s property that has been identified as within
the Modification of Conditions (MDC) shall require a modification of the MDC
to remove such property from the purview of the MDC.
5. Museum employees and Training Services, Inc. employees who maintain
vintage aircraft displayed at the Museum shall number no more than thirty (30)
persons on duty at any given time. There shall be no limit on the number of
volunteers.
6. There shall be no outdoor amplified sound or music audible at the property line
associated with the museum or special events.
7. Health Department review and approval for a Sewage Disposal System
Construction Permit or any other permit as deemed necessary by the Health
Department shall be obtained prior to approval of the final site plan.
8. Streetscape landscaping, as described in the Landscaping Guide, City of
Virginia Beach, December 2002, shall be installed along the eastern boundary
line of the future parking lot expansion and shall be installed along the entire

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Military Aviation Museum (3949 : Military Aviation Museum (Applicant) Virginia Beach Airport, LLC (Property
• On January 9, 2007, City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for a Museum on this 80-acre parcel zoned AG-1
& AG-2 Agricultural District. Modifications to the Conditional Use Permit were subsequently approved by City
Council, in 2008 and 2011. The 2008 modification permitted an expansion of the museum to include five additional
structures and additional parking while the 2011 modification, allowed for a new 45,000 square foot
hanger/exhibition area with associated parking to the west of the existing hanger/museum.
• The applicant is now seeking a modification to expand the operating hours for the museum, to accommodate special
events held on site, as well as other events that are customarily incidental to the museum use.
• The current operating hours for the museum are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., seven days a week, except for the summer
months when the museum ceases operation at dusk. With the current request, the applicant is proposing to amend
the hours of operation for the museum to 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seven (7) days a week, and no later than 10:00 p.m.
for any Special Events permitted by the City’s Special Events Office.
• No more than eight special events of an outdoor nature having outdoor amplified sound, and which exceed 500
persons in attendance, will be allowed on the property per calendar year. Events that are customarily incidental to
the museum use shall not be considered a special event.
• No changes to the site layout are proposed.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Modification of Conditions for the Military Aviation Museum is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable.
The existing Military Aviation Museum has been operating on this site for over 15 years. The museum is a valued
community asset for both the City and the Hampton Roads area as a whole. Since the airport on the property operates
under a separate Use Permit and a subsequent court order, the current evaluation applies only to the applicant’s
request to expand the operating hours for the museum and to host a limited number of special events on site, beyond

those events that are considered customary with and incidental to the museum. In Staff’s opinion, the request to host
up to 8 outdoor events with amplified sound and more than 500 people in attendance is reasonable and will positively
contribute to the museum’s operation while being mindful of surrounding residents. All events that meet the criteria
Attachment: 01_ARF Package for Military Aviation Museum (3949 : Military Aviation Museum (Applicant) Virginia Beach Airport, LLC (Property
stated above, and as identified in Condition 3, will be permitted through the City’s Special Events Office and thus will be
reviewed individually to ensure adequate steps are taken to minimize impacts to nearby property owners and residents.
In Staff’s view, the request is in keeping with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as there will be no major
alterations to the site layout and all outdoor events will cease operation by 10:00 p.m.
The recommended conditions are designed to limit the impact of the museum to a level that is compatible with the
agricultural community. Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. All previous conditions attached to the previous Modification of Conditions granted on 06/28/2011 shall be voided

those that are customarily incidental to the museum use, that are of an outdoor nature, have outdoor amplified

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being within the Rural Area. The Rural Area is located in the southern
half of the City south of Indian River and Sandbridge Roads. It is characterized as low, flat land with wide floodplains and
altered drainage with a presence of agricultural and rural related activities including traditional and specialty crop
cultivation, tree farms, equestrian facilities, wetland banks, fish farms and other similar uses. It is an important objective
to protect and sustain all of our valuable environmental, scenic and agricultural resources against inappropriate
activities and intense growth pressures.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high-water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters.
The majority of the site is grass field with a grass runway. There is an existing airport hanger with a paved parking lot and
water tower. There does not appear to be any significant environmental or local cultural features on the site; however,
the museum, including the proposed facilities, is indicative of the role of this area of the city during World War II. Several
airfields in rural southern area of the city served as satellite fields to Norfolk Naval Air Station, serving in support to
operations, training, and maintenance of WWII aircraft.

Mr. Cromwell: On January 9, 2007, City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit
for a museum on this 80 acre parcel zone AG and AG 2 Agricultural
District. Modifications to the Conditional Use Permit were
subsequently approved by the City Council in 2008 and 2011. In
2008, modification permitted an expansion of the museum to include
5 additional structures and additional parking, while the 2011
modification allowed for 45, 000 square foot hangar exhibition area
with associated parking on the west of the existing Hanger Museum.
The applicant is now seeking a modification to expand the operating
hours for the museum to accommodate special events held onsite as
well as other events that are customarily incidental to museum use.
The current operating hours for the museum are 09:00 to 05:00 p.m.
seven days a week except for the summer months, when the
museum ceases operation at dusk. With the current request, the
applicant is proposing to amend the hours of operation for the
museum to 09:00 a.m. to 09:00 p.m. seven days a week, and no later
than 10:00 p.m. for any special events permitted by the city special
events office. No more than eight special events of an outdoor
nature of having outdoor amplified sound would exceed 500 persons
in attendance, will be allowed on their property per calendar year.
Events that are customarily incidental to the museum, use shall not
be considered a special event. No changes to the site layout are
proposed. As the Planning Commission has received no opposition,
we recommend this for the Consent Agenda.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much, Commissioner. Mr. Chairman, that was the
last item on the consent agenda. The Planning Commission places
the following applications on the consent agenda. Items number 1,
2, 3. 4,6, 7, 9, and 10.

DISTRICT 3
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
Background:
In 1998, City Council approved a rezoning of a 21.3-acre parcel for the
development of a corporate office park. At that time, a Deed of Conditions and
Restrictions was recorded to limit the use of the site to office, distribution,
warehousing, and production studios and accessory uses. The Deed was further
amended in 2009 to expand the uses to include: business, medical, financial, non-
profit, professional and similar office buildings, eating and drinking establishments
without drive-through windows, printing, lithographic or publishing establishments,
office, distribution, warehousing, and production studios and accessory uses. In
addition, Unit 3B is permitted to have a full-service financial institution with drive-
throughs and ATMs.
The City is under contract to acquire 7.82-acres of the 21.3-acre parcel, known as,
Units 1, 2A, and 2B of this condominium park and plans to utilize the existing
65,700 square foot building located on Unit 1 for the Office of the Voter Registrar
and Central Absentee Precinct. Since the 2009 Amended Deed of Conditions and
Restrictions does not list public buildings or public meeting grounds as allowable
uses, this request is needed to expand the list of permissible uses.
Considerations:
The Planning Commission found the proposed modification to allow for the
operation of an Office of Voter Registrar and Central Absentee Precinct, to be
acceptable. The use is compatible to that of the surrounding area and will not
cause any negative impacts. This proposal will remove private properties adjacent
to Mount Trashmore and change them to public grounds with access to Mount
Trashmore Park.
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.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 02_ARF Package for City of Virginia Beach - Lakeview Corporate Park (3950 : City of Virginia Beach (Applicant) Michels Family,
• In 1998, City Council approved a rezoning of a 21.3-acre parcel from P-1 Preservation District and B-2 Community
Business District to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District for development of a corporate office park. At the time, a
Deed of Conditions and Restrictions was recorded with the Circuit Court instead of the Conditional Zoning
Agreement (aka proffers) that is typically done with a conditional rezoning request. For the purposes of the
development of this property, the Deed of Conditions and Restrictions carry the same weight as proffers.
• The 1998 approval limits the use of the site to office, distribution, warehousing, and production studios and
accessory uses.
• In 2009, City Council granted a modification request to expand the uses to include: business, medical, financial, non-
profit, professional and similar office buildings, eating and drinking establishments without drive-through windows,
printing, lithographic or publishing establishments, office, distribution, warehousing, and production studios and
accessory uses. In addition, Unit 3B is permitted to have a full-service financial institution with drive-throughs and
ATMs.
• The applicant, the City of Virginia Beach, is under contract to acquire 7.82-acres of the 21.3-acre parcel, known as,
Units 1, 2A, and 2B of this condominium park and plans to utilize the existing 65,700 square foot building located on
Unit 1 for the Office of the Voter Registrar and Central Absentee Precinct. The areas referred to as Unit 2A and 2B
were never developed. Since the 2009 Amended Deed of Conditions and Restrictions does not list public building or
public meeting grounds as allowable uses, this request is needed to expand the list of permissible uses.
• At this time, there are no plans to alter the existing building exterior or to develop Units 2A and 2B.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Attachment: 02_ARF Package for City of Virginia Beach - Lakeview Corporate Park (3950 : City of Virginia Beach (Applicant) Michels Family,
The applicant’s request to modify Section 3B of the 2009 Amended Conditions and Restrictions to allow for the
operation of an Office of Voter Registrar and Central Absentee Precinct is acceptable. Except for changes to the section
below, the remainder of the Deed of Conditions and Restrictions will remain in effect.
Section 3B of the 2009 Amended Conditions and Restrictions is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:
“Only the following uses permitted under the present I-1 (Light Industrial) zoning classification for the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia shall be permitted on the Property: business, medical, financial, non-profit, professional
and similar office buildings; eating and drinking establishments (without drive-through windows); printing,
lithographic or publishing establishments; public buildings and grounds, public meetings, assembly uses; office,
distribution, warehousing, and production studios and accessory uses. Additionally, the following uses shall be
permitted on Units 1, 2A, and 2B: a full-service office of the general registrar for voter registration and elections,
central absentee voter precinct, including without limitation curbside and in-person voting, vote counting and
review, public speech activities, education and training, off-street parking, and pedestrian accessways, as well as
other municipal, office, and warehouse purposes. Additionally, the following uses shall be permitted on Units
3B-1 and 3B-2: a full-service financial institution with drive-throughs and ATMs.”
Staff does not believe there will be any negative impacts to the surrounding area with the additional proposed uses. The
existing 192 parking spaces on-site satisfy the parking requirement for the proposed use.
Based on the considerations described, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions listed
below.
Recommended Condition
1. Prior to operation of the proposed use, the Amended Deed of Conditions and Restriction shall be recorded with the
City of Virginia Beach Clerk of Circuit Court.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning / Development Services Center and Department of Planning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
This site is located within the Suburban Area of the City. Guiding principles have been established in the Comprehensive
Plan to protect the stability of the Suburban Area and to provide a framework for neighborhoods and places that are
visually interesting and that provide memorable character. The Plan’s primary guiding principle is to create “great
neighborhoods,” and to support those neighborhoods with complementary non-residential uses in such a way that the
stability of the Suburban Area is maintained in a sustainable way.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Access to this property is from Studio Drive, which is a two-lane private roadway that terminates at the Independence
Boulevard and Holland Road signalized intersection.
Independence Boulevard in the vicinity of this application is considered a six-lane major urban arterial. The MTP proposes
an eight-lane facility within a 150-foot right-of-way. The Independence Boulevard/Edwin Drive Intersection improvement
project is a fully funded CIP project that will impact this development site. This project will convert left-turn movements
in both directions of South Independence Boulevard at Edwin Drive to median left-turns upstream and downstream of the
mainline intersection (Median U-Turns) and widen east-bound and west-bound approaches on Edwin Drive. The project
will also include a continuous five-foot sidewalk on both sides of Independence and Edwin with a connection to existing
shared-use path on Edwin as well as installation of bus shelters at two existing bus stops. This project is scheduled to begin
construction in 2031 and right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in 2029.
Holland Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a four-lane divided minor urban arterial facility. The Holland
Road Phase I CIP project is approved for this area of Holland Road. This project will reconfigure Holland Road as a six-
lane superstreet by adding additional through lanes in both directions from South Independence Boulevard to South
Plaza Trail and by installing Restricted Crossing U-Turn (R-CUT), which helps reduce crashed, intersections at the
intersections that lack a traffic signal. The project will also include a continuous five-foot wide sidewalk on both sides of
Holland Road, as well as LED streetlights and installation of bus shelters at four existing bus stops. Construction of this
project is scheduled to begin in 2031.
Public Utility Impacts
Water & Sewer
The property is connected to City water and sanitary sewer services.

ITEM: MILESTONE MANOR, LLC [Applicant] CALVARY ASSEMBLY OF GOD
[Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Day-care Center in a Religious
Use) for the property located at 4925 Providence Road (GPIN 1466928004).
COUNCIL DISTRICT 1
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a day-care
center within an existing 12,000-square-foot church. The applicant was unaware
of the need for a CUP and has been operating at this location since August 2021.
The day-care currently has 35 children, ages 5 to 12, enrolled in the program and
the applicant is requesting to increase this number to 40 with this use permit.
Parents can elect to send their children on a full-time (Monday through Friday) or
part-time (Tuesday & Thursday) basis. While children are provided instruction and
tutoring services in core subjects and electives, the instruction is meant to
supplement rather than replace a child’s education. As such, parents are required
to submit a Notice of Intent to Home Instruct prior to full-time enrollment.
On-site facilities used by the day-care include a classroom, a multi-purpose room
and full kitchen, gymnasium for indoor play, and soccer fields on the southern half
of the property for outdoor play. Hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The
center has 5 employees.
Considerations:
Staff believes that a day-care within an existing religious use is acceptable as it is
compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhoods and utilizes space that is
unoccupied outside of the typical hours for the church. Although this day-care
provides elective and select core-subject tutoring, this does not meet the definition
of a private school per the City’s Zoning Ordinance, since private schools must
have a curriculum similar to that of a public school, which this day-care does not.
There is ample parking on site and staff does not anticipate a substantial increase
in traffic along Providence Road.
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.

at each entrance, shall be permitted on the property.
4. Subdivision of any of the property that has been identified as within the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP), shall require a modification of the CUP to
remove such property from the purview of the CUP.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 03_ARF Package for Milestone Manor LLC (3951 : Milestone Manor, LLC (Applicant) Calvary Assembly of God (Property Owner)
• The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to operate a day-care center within an existing 12,000 square foot
church located on this 8.24-acre R-10 Residentially zoned parcel. The application was filed in response to a Notice of
Violation issued on January 29, 2024, for operating what was initially considered to be a private school in a
Residential District.
• A Notice of Violation (NOV) was issued by the Zoning Division on January 29, 2024, for operating what was initially
considered to be a private school in a Residential District. The applicant, Milestone Manor, LLC, was unaware that
operation of a day-care center or child care education center within a religious use required a Conditional Use
Permit within the R-10 Zoning District. Upon receipt of the NOV, the applicant promptly filed a Conditional Use
Permit application with the Planning Department to rectify the violation.
• Upon further discussion with the applicant, it was determined by the Zoning Administrator the operation
constituted a day-care within an existing religious use rather than a private school since the curriculum was not
similar to that of a public school, nor is the applicant responsible for the education of the children.
• In 1972, a Conditional Use Permit for a church was approved for the subject site. In 1983 and 1985, two additional
Conditional Use Permits were approved for the operation of private school and preschool, respectively. As a
condition of approval, the owner/applicant was required to file an extension for both the private school and
preschool use permits every two years, or the permits would no longer be valid. Since an extension request has not
been made since 1987, both permits are void. Another Conditional Use Permit approved in 2000, permitted the
addition of a two-story “family life center” on site, which contains classrooms, offices, and a gymnasium. In 2011, a
Conditional Use Permit was approved for the subject site to operate youth soccer summer camps and provide
practice space for youth soccer clubs.
• Care is currently provided to approximately 35 children ranging from the age of 5 to 12 and is offered on either a
part-time or full-time basis. The applicant is expecting the daycare to reach 40 children in the next enrollment cycle.
There are five employees on staff.
• Enrolled children attend “elective” classes and are offered tutoring services. Coursework is similar to homeschooling
curriculum, and all Since the provided services are intended to be a supplement to rather than a replacement of
public, private, or homeschool instruction, all parents must file a Notice of Intent to Home Instruct for
homeschooling with Virginia Department of Education prior to full-time enrollment. Children are separated by age
groups and switch activities every forty-five minutes. The existing kitchen on site is used for meal prep and students
eat meals and snacks in a multipurpose room on-site. Recess time is held inside the gymnasium and outside within
the unfenced soccer fields with adult supervision.
• Operating hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with before and after-school hours care
from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., respectively. 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. are standard hours of
operation for the day-care services.
• The property owner, Calvary Assembly of God, hosts a service on Wednesday nights and two services on Sunday,
outside of the operating hours for Milestone Manor.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a day-care in a religious use is acceptable. This
property falls within the Suburban Area, as defined in the Comprehensive Plan, which recommends that non-residential
developments within the Suburban Area are complementary to existing residential areas. Staff finds the property to be
capable of adhering to the guiding principles and is able to successfully promote the Comprehensive Plan’s policies for
creating and maintaining the “Great Neighborhoods” principle.
It is anticipated that minimal traffic will be generated by the addition of a day-care with a capacity of 40 children to this
site. The anticipated drop off and pick up times are 8:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. However, parents have the option to drop
off or pick up students as early as 8:00 a.m. or as late as 4:30 p.m. if they sign up for additional before or after care. The
staggered pick up and drop off times will help reduce any traffic congestion generated from this site, and as confirmed
by the City’s Traffic Engineering staff, is already minimal.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of these applications, subject to the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. There shall be no more than 40 children enrolled in the facility at any one time; however, the ultimate occupant load
for the Day-care Center shall be established by the City of Virginia Beach Fire Marshal’s Office, but at no point shall
the total number exceed 40 children.
2. The applicant shall obtain all the necessary permits, inspections, and approvals from the Department of Social
Services, the Fire Department, and the Permits and Inspections Division of the Department of Planning &
Community Development before occupancy of the building. A Certificate of Occupancy for the use shall be obtained
from the Permits and Inspections Division of the Department of Planning & Community Development.
3. In order to comply with Section 240.1 of the Zoning Ordinance for signage for Religious Uses in residential districts,
no more than two freestanding signs, one at each entrance, shall be permitted on the property.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being within the “Suburban Area”. The established guiding
principles of the Suburban Area are enabled to protect the stability of the Suburban Area while providing guidance for
creating vibrant and distinctive places. The primary guiding principle, to create and maintain “Great Neighborhoods”,
looks for non-residential uses to be complementary to the existing neighborhood. The proposed mixed-use nature of
this site is acceptable as it maintains neighborhood stability and provides residents with a diversity of options for child
day-care.

Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much, and are the conditions acceptable to you?
Ms. Petroskey: Yes ma'am.
Ms. Cuellar: Fantastic. Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the
consent agenda? Hearing none, thank you for coming. You may be
seated, and I've asked Commissioner Estaris to read this into the

Ms. Estaris: Thank you. The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to
operate a Day-care Center with an existing 12, 000 square foot
church located on 8.24 acre R-10 residentially zoned parcel. The
application was filed in response to a Notice of Violation issued on
January 29, 2024 for operating what was initially considered to be a
private school in a residential district. Upon further discussion with
the applicant it was determined by the Zoning Administrator, the
operation was constituted as a daycare within an existing religious
use rather than a private school. Care is currently provided to
approximately 35 kids. It is recommended the total not to exceed 40,
and in the Staff’s opinion this request for a Conditional Use Permit to

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: MICHELE CLELAND [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Wildlife Rehabilitation Center) for the property located at 2285 London
Bridge Road (GPIN 2405606502). COUNCIL DISTRICT 5
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Wildlife
Rehabilitation Center on an approximately three-acre parcel zoned AG-2
Agriculture. The applicant currently holds a Category IV Wildlife Rehabilitation
Permit from Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (VDWR) and has
volunteered as a wildlife rehabber for six years. She plans to rehabilitate native
avian species at the proposed facility. Upon receiving a Conditional Use Permit,
the applicant will apply for a Category I permit from VDWR and a Wildlife
Rehabilitator Permit from U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS). The permit from
USFWS is required when rehabilitating migratory birds.
For the first two years as a Category I permittee, the applicant will rehabilitate
orphaned avians (e.g., ducklings, goslings, etc.). Eventually, the applicant intends
to rehabilitate injured birds. There are two existing outdoor walk-in aviaries on the
property that will be used, and any future aviaries would be located in the same
general area on the property. The applicant will operate this facility as an individual
with occasional volunteer support; it will not be open to the general public. A
sponsoring veterinarian is required by State and Federal regulations to provide
medical care for any injured or ill animals; a letter from the applicant’s sponsoring
veterinarian is on file with the Department of Planning & Community Development.
No releases will occur on site.
Considerations:
This property is in a corridor of London Bridge Road that maintains an agricultural
character; notably, it is close to Hunt Club Farm. The proposed use is low impact
and is compatible with similar by-right agricultural uses such as the keeping of fowl
and other livestock. The applicant has six years of experience as a wildlife
rehabber and maintains a certification with the International Wildlife Rehabilitation
Council. The enclosures proposed by the applicant are appropriate for the kind of
care provided to wildlife and are subject to inspection by VDWR. Animals will be
released off-site and as soon as they are of an age and condition to be released.
Additionally, the USFWS restricts the amount of time that migratory birds may be
held to no more than 180 days and all birds must be released once recuperated.

video monitoring of the site and the enclosures. She lives within a mile of the site
and has a sponsoring veterinarian and will be able to respond to any emergencies
quickly.
The applicant received a letter of support from Hunt Club Farm and the Pine Ridge
Civic League, as well as a 26-signature petition of support from residents of the
Pine Ridge neighborhood. 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 May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.
1. This Conditional Use Permit only permits rehabilitation of avians. A modification
of conditions shall be required to permit rehabilitation of small mammals or
other animal species.
2. The applicant shall comply with all the provisions of Section 242.4 of the City
Zoning Ordinance (CZO) pertaining to a Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility.
3. The applicant shall comply with all provisions established for wildlife
rehabilitation by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources and U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
4. The application shall comply with all rabies immunization protocols as
established for wildlife rehabilitation by the Virginia Department of Wildlife
Resources as required.
5. The applicant shall post and maintain a sign with contact information in case of
emergencies for the operator.
6. The applicant shall maintain a sponsorship from a veterinarian that can provide
veterinary services for diseased or injured animals.

Background & Summary of Proposal
•
Attachment: 04_ARF Package for Michele Cleland (3952 : Michele Cleland (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit (Wildlife
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center on this
approximately three-acre parcel zoned AG-2 Agricultural District. She will rehabilitate orphaned native avian species,
including waterfowl, waterbirds, and songbirds, and will eventually provide care of injured animals. The applicant
will be operating this facility as an individual, not as part of an organization. Animals will be brought to her primarily
from other licensed rehabbers in the Virginia Beach area.
• Since only Home-based Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers are permitted by right in AG-2 Agricultural District, a
Conditional Use Permit is required for the proposed use. This property was conveyed to the applicant with a deed
restriction barring development of residential uses on the property and no dwellings currently exist that could be
inhabited by the applicant.
• Immediate facilities required for the use include two walk-in aviaries and a shed for supplies. Should the operations
fare well and there is sufficient financial support and capacity, the applicant states that future facilities may include
an additional shed and more aviaries as needed. The applicant has expressed an interest in branching into providing
rehabilitation for small mammals (non-rabies vector animals) but is presently focusing on birds. A modification
would be required to add care for small mammals in the future.
• The applicant has indicated that she may use heavy fabric or another fabric covering to partially screen the aviaries
from view from London Bridge Road. The fabric covering will provide some additional shielding from passersby and
traffic from the road.
• The aviaries the applicant will use are enclosed mesh structures with predator-proof flooring. These types of
enclosures are used for juvenile birds who need to learn how to adapt to ambient temperatures and typical outdoor
noises, such as those of predators. They provide a crucial link in the rehabilitation of orphaned avians before they
can be released at a designated off-site location.
• A one-foot no ingress/egress easement is recorded on the parcel limiting access to the site to a shared entrance on
the eastern side of the property. The shared entrance is on the adjacent parcel, which has a shared cross-access
agreement with both the subject property and another property to the west. A private driveway from London
Bridge Road still exists on the property, however, the driveway is gated and locked, and will only be used in the
event of an emergency. The applicant has agreed to only access the site from the shared entrance. The property has
sufficient pavement width to permit several cars to park on site.
• The property is currently fenced, and the applicant will install a series of security cameras and may add some site
lighting. The facility will not be open or accessible to the general public.
• The applicant currently has a Category IV Wildlife Rehabilitation permit from Virginia Department of Wildlife
Resources (VDWR) and has six years of wildlife rescue, transport, and rehabilitation experience. Additionally, she has
a current certification from the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council.
• The VDWR Category IV license permits the applicant to provide direct care for wildlife under direct supervision by
Category I, II, or III permittees at the permittees’ particular facility. With approval of a Conditional Use Permit, the
applicant will apply for a Category I Wildlife Rehabilitation permit from VDWR. This license is for “apprentice”
rehabbers and will permit the applicant to care for wildlife on her own. Per restrictions from VDWR, Category I
rehabbers must be sponsored by an active Category II or Category III permittee and must meet VDWR’s training
requirements. Their facility is also subject to inspection by VDWR.

• As the applicant intends to rehabilitate migrant birds, she will also need to obtain a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
(Federal) Wildlife Rehabilitator Permit. This permit restricts the amount of time that migratory birds may be held to
no more than 180 days; all birds must be released once recuperated. The permit is only valid so long as the holder is
Attachment: 04_ARF Package for Michele Cleland (3952 : Michele Cleland (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit (Wildlife
also in compliance with state regulations.
• The applicant has a certified, sponsoring veterinarian that will be on-call to provide care to animals as needed. This
is a requirement of VDWR licensing and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service permit for migratory birds.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is acceptable. The use is
compatible with the existing agricultural character of this corridor of London Bridge Road and will produce minimal
noise that might affect the adjoining residential neighborhood. Recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan
recommend that non-residential uses in the Suburban Area be complementary to residential uses. In this area, London
Bridge Road is characterized by a mix of persistent agricultural uses and recent residential subdivisions. While distinct
from bona fide agricultural operations, the rehabilitation facility for avians is very similar to small-scale keeping of
poultry and other fowl. It is Staff’s opinion that this use, as presented, is compatible with the existing agricultural uses
and is consistent with the overall pattern of agricultural parcels abutting residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the
applicant does not intend to construct large buildings or remove the existing mature vegetation on the site.
The applicant is well-qualified to operate this type of rehabilitation and will be filling a gap in the local wildlife
rehabilitation network. While there are a few rehabbers actively working with birds, they either specialize with the
youngest avians or in the final stages for release. The applicant’s facility will provide rehabilitation for avians that
effectively age out of being able to be held indoors and to provide them with an environment that will help them
acclimate to life in the wild.
Minimal traffic is anticipated to be generated by the site. The applicant will be operating this facility by herself with the
occasional assistance of other volunteers. As there is an existing no ingress/egress easement along the property’s
frontage, Staff recommends Condition 14 to ensure that the existing driveway and a second apron on the property be
gated and locked to ensure the shared access point is used. The applicant has reached out to residents of the Pine Ridge
neighborhood and has received a letter of support from the Pine Ridge Civic Association, as well as 26 signatures of
Michele Cleland

support from residents on Windy Pines Bend, the street to the south of the applicant’s property. Additional letters of
support have also been provided to Staff as discussed below.
Attachment: 04_ARF Package for Michele Cleland (3952 : Michele Cleland (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit (Wildlife
Staff recommends approval of this application subject to the conditions and exhibits below.
Recommended Conditions
1. This Conditional Use Permit only permits rehabilitation of avians. A modification of conditions shall be required to
permit rehabilitation of small mammals or other animal species.
2. The applicant shall comply with all the provisions of Section 242.4 of the City Zoning Ordinance (CZO) pertaining to a
Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as part of the Suburban Area, which has as its guiding principle
the creation and maintenance of “Great Neighborhoods,” areas that have a mix of residential and complementary non-
residential uses. This corridor of London Bridge Road retains agricultural uses, such as Hunt Club Farm, that abut more
recent residential subdivisions. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, as proposed, will retain the existing mature
vegetation, thus maintaining the character of the existing landscape. The use is also similar to other agricultural uses in
the corridor and is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers watershed. A preliminary stormwater analysis was not provided as the
applicant is not proposing any land disturbance associated with this request.
No cultural resources are known to be associated with this property.

RE: CUP 2285 London Bridge Road
Virginia Beach Planning Department,
I am writing in support of Michele Cleland’s current Conditional Use application for 2285
London Bridge Road. We appreciate that she plans to keep bees, animals and avians on the AG
zoned property. We also support the request to do wildlife rehabilitation on the property as we
know firsthand how much this is needed in our community.
We also would suggest that the permit include a few conditions.
1. Rehabilitators working on the property shall maintain wildlife rehabilitation
certification through the state or as required by law.
2. Animals and Avians will not be released from the site.
According to my conversation with Michele these conditions seem to be inline with her CUP
request. Please contact me if any additional information is needed at 757-618-6466.
Sincerely,
Randi Vogel

met with this application.
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 May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of these items on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 905
Pacific Avenue Unit C and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the
principal structure.
2. An annual (yearly) STR Zoning Permit must be obtained from the Department
of Planning and Community Development (Zoning Administration) before using

Site Conditions and History
• This 34,984 square foot parcel contains the Pacific Place Condominiums and is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort

• On-street parking is not permitted on this portion of Pacific Avenue.
• Since this unit was not registered nor paying transient occupancy taxes to the Commissioner of the Revenue
prior to July 1, 2018, the unit would not be considered as grandfathered Short Term Rental and thus would
require a Conditional Use Permit prior to operating.
• Known Short Term Rental activity as of April 10, 2024, is shown in the chart below:

There is one assigned parking space associated with this unit in the condominium’s parking lot. According to the City of
Virginia Beach Zoning Ordinance, Appendix A, Article 23, Section 2303, (b), a., ii., “There are certain condominium
properties that have historically operated as short term lodging units and have not experienced any inconvenience to
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Samantha Carrow (3953 : Samantha Carrow (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit (Short
guests or the surrounding area without the required one (1) parking space per bedroom. Further, such properties are
unable to provide the required parking on-site. For these condominium properties, the Zoning Administrator may, at his
discretion, require one (1) parking space per dwelling unit similar to the requirement for lodging uses in the Oceanfront
Resort District Form Based Code (ORDFBC). Such properties must provide written evidence of their past use and the
Zoning Administrator shall find that there is no public inconvenience with the current parking design.” The Pacific Place
Condominiums is one such property granted a historical exception to the Short Term Rental parking requirements of one
space per bedroom; therefore, only one parking space is required for the entire unit. All other requirements of Section
241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this
application.
The subject property lies in the Pacific Avenue corridor, which serves as the main north-south connector, including
Atlantic Avenue, in the Resort Area. As identified in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, both corridors
serve as an area where many Resort Area visitors stay and gather. Therefore, the use of these units as a Short Term
Rental is consistent with this purpose. These units would further provide diverse lodging opportunities for visitors and
travelers wanting the Resort Area experience.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 905 Pacific Avenue Unit C and the Short

2. An annual (yearly) STR Zoning Permit must be obtained from the Department of Planning and Community
Development (Zoning Administration) before using the dwelling for Short-Term Rental purposes.
3. Off-street parking shall be provided as required by Section 241.2 and 2303(b)(a)(i)(ii) of the City Zoning Ordinance or
as approved by City Council.
4. For properties located within the boundaries of the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP), while the Short Term
Rental use is active, parking passes issued for the subject dwelling unit(s) through the RPPP shall be limited to two
(2) resident passes only. Guest and temporary passes through the RPPP shall not be permitted.
5. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of approval. The renewal process of this
Conditional Use Permit may be administrative and performed by the Planning Department; however, the Planning
Department shall notify the City Council in writing prior to the renewal of any Conditional Use Permit for a Short
Term Rental where the Short Term Rental has been the subject of neighborhood complaints, violations of its
conditions or violations of any building, housing, zoning, fire or other similar codes.
6. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more than the allowed number of people
who may stay overnight (number of bedrooms times two (2)) on the property where the Short Term Rental is
located. This Short Term Rental may not request or obtain a Special Event Permit under City Code Section 4-1.
7. The owner or operator must provide the name and telephone number of a responsible person, who may be the
owner, operator or an agent of the owner or operator, who is available to be contacted and to address conditions

Background:

illegal operation of the unit and has worked with staff to obtain this Conditional Use

Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to operate a two-bedroom, 974 square-foot Short Term

There is one assigned parking space associated with this unit in the

space per bedroom; therefore, only one parking space is required for the entire
unit. All other requirements of Section 241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning
Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this
application.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are

Site Conditions and History
• This 53,138 square foot parcel contains the Playa Rana Condominiums and is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort
District. According to City records, this multi-family condominium was constructed in 2008.
• On-street parking is permitted 24-hours per day, therefore any overflow parking beyond the minimum parking
spaces required could occur within the public street.
• When researching the property for the current request, staff discovered a past zoning complaint from June 26,
2023, for operation of a Short Term Rental without a Conditional Use Permit; however the property owner has
removed the advertising for the unit, ceased the short term rental of the property, and has worked with Staff to
come into compliance with the City Zoning Ordinance.
• Since this property was not registered with the Commissioner of Revenue nor paying transient occupancy taxes
to the Commissioner of the Revenue prior to July 1, 2018, the property would not be considered a
grandfathered Short Term Rental and thus would require a Conditional Use Permit prior to operating.
• Known Short Term Rental activity as of April 12, 2024, is shown in the chart below:

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant is requesting to operate a two-bedroom, 974 square-foot Short Term Rental within the Playa Rana
Condominium building. Short Term Rentals are prevalent on this property with a total of nine approved Conditional Use
Permits for the operation of Short Term Rentals.
There is one assigned parking space associated with this unit in the condominium’s parking lot. According to the City of
Virginia Beach Zoning Ordinance, Appendix A, Article 23, Section 2303, (b), a., ii., “There are certain condominium
properties that have historically operated as short term lodging units and have not experienced any inconvenience to
guests or the surrounding area without the required one (1) parking space per bedroom. Further, such properties are
unable to provide the required parking on-site. For these condominium properties, the Zoning Administrator may, at his
discretion, require one (1) parking space per dwelling unit similar to the requirement for lodging uses in the Oceanfront
Resort District Form Based Code (ORDFBC). Such properties must provide written evidence of their past use and the
Zoning Administrator shall find that there is no public inconvenience with the current parking design.” Playa Rana
Condominiums is one such property granted a historical exception to the Short Term Rental parking requirements of one

241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much, Commissioner. Our next item on the consent
agenda is Item Number Nine, Susanne Colligan. It doesn't appear
that Ms. Colligan can be with us here today, so I've asked
Commissioner Plumlee to read this into the record.
Mr. Plumlee: Susanne Colligan has made this request at 304 28 th Street Unit 208
for short term rental. This is proper within the text amendment zone
OR Oceanfront Resort. She has her assigned parking space. The
staff noted that there had been a previous illegally advertised, and
used short-term rental dislocation, but it is a condominium where that
was a habit for a while, so staff has the applicant work with staff, and
staff is agreeable. Our excellent staff is agreeable to have this
placed on the consent agenda today. There's no objection by any
member of the commission so it's appropriate.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much, Commissioner. Mr. Chairman, that was the
last item on the consent agenda. The Planning Commission places
the following applications on the consent agenda. Items number 1,
2, 3. 4,6, 7, 9, and 10.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you. Do I have a motion to approve.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 103 OF THE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO THE GRANTING OF MODIFICATIONS BY THE
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR.
PROPOSED FEE: $200; AUTHORITY: VIRGINIA CODE SECTION 15.2-2286.
DOCUMENTATION FOUND AT THE PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT- 2875 SABRE STREET, SUITE 500, (757)
385-4621.
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
Background:
The purpose of this amendment is to grant the Zoning Administrator the authority
to make minor modifications to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
Granting the Zoning Administrator the authority to make modifications to the
dimensional requirements of the Zoning Ordinance alleviates the need for a Board
of Zoning Appeals (BZA) variance for minor items that are not expected to have
detrimental impacts on surrounding properties. This Ordinance upholds the
integrity of the Zoning Ordinance by restricting approvable modifications to only
five percent and requiring that the Zoning Administrator make findings similar to
those of the BZA. Additionally, a process for the notification of the adjacent
property owners is established to allow them to provide comments or concerns.
Should there be valid and substantiated objections from the neighboring
properties, the request will be denied, and the applicant will be given the option to
apply for a variance from the BZA.
Considerations:
Modifications would be permitted up to five percent of any provision of the
Ordinance pertaining to the physical requirements of a lot or parcel of land,
including but not limited to size, height, or location of features related to any
building, structure, or improvement.
To approve a modification, the Zoning Administrator, similar to the Board of Zoning
Appeals, must find that the request meets the three criteria shown below.
1. The strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship;
and
2. Such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same
zoning district and the same vicinity; and

3. The authorization of the modification will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property and the character of the zoning district will not be changed
by the granting of the modification.
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.

On May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.

Agenda Item # 1
City of Virginia Beach
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you. Now, I'll pass it on to the Vice Chair for the
Consent Agenda.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Today we have eight items on the
Consent Agenda. These are applications that are recommended for
approval by staff and the planning commission concurred, and there
are no speakers signed up in opposition. We'll go ahead and start
with Agenda Item Number One, City of Virginia Beach.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you. The first item here is an ordinance to amend Section 103
of the Zoning Ordinance, which would permit the Zoning
Administrator to make minor modifications to the dimensional
requirements of the ordinance. It does so by adding a Section M.
What this does specifically is it allows the Zoning Administrator to
modify provisions of the Zoning Ordinance by up to 5%. This deals
with dimensional requirements, things such as the size, height, or the
location of building structures or improvements on the lot. It also
establishes a criteria for which the zoning administrator has to review
each request and what they have to find. Those are that the strict
application of the ordinance would produce an undue hardship, that
the hardship is not shared with properties in the same zoning district
or vicinity, and that it would not cause a hardship on the adjoining
properties. There's also a notification process that's put in place.
The Zoning Administrator has to mail out letters to the adjacent
property owners to which they have 21 days to respond. A sign will
also be posted on the site for 30 days. If there is opposition to it, the
Zoning Administrator will review that opposition. If it's substantiated,

they would then go to, or have the opportunity to go to the Board of
Zoning Appeals for a Variance Request. Lastly, there is a $200 fee
associated with this application, and that covers the staff resources
and notification costs. Thank you.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you, Mr. Kemp. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none, we'll go forward with
our next item number, and even though we all know you, please state
your name for the record.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much, Commissioner. Mr. Chairman, that was the
last item on the consent agenda. The Planning Commission places
the following applications on the consent agenda. Items number 1,
2, 3. 4,6, 7, 9, and 10.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you. Do I have a motion to approve.
Ms. Cuellar: I move that these items be approved by consent.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Mr. Plumlee: I second.
Mr. Alcaraz: Second by Mr. Plumlee.
Clerk: By a vote of 11:0, Agenda Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 have been

MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
Background:
Section 1906 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the parameters for the Old
Beach Design Review Committee. This five-member committee is intended to
preserve, enhance, and promote the character of the residential neighborhood in
accordance with the Old Beach Design Guidelines and provisions of the Old Beach
Overlay District. The Committee recently expressed their desire to have a design
professional on the committee to address current development trends and provide
insight when reviewing projects.
Considerations:
This text amendment proposes two changes to Section 1906 regarding the
required makeup of the committee members and terms of appointment. Details of
the request are as follows.
1. Section 1906 (b) is amended to require one representative from the Resort
Advisory Commission, rather than two representatives as is currently
required. The requirement to have one “licensed design professional with
relevant work experience” is added.
2. Section 1906 (c) is added to clarify the terms of appointment. Two members
shall be appointed to an initial one-year term, two appointed to an initial two-
year term, and one appointed to a three-year term. All subsequent
reappointments shall be three-year terms.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. The proposed amendment was presented
to the Old Beach Design Review Committee on April 11, 2024, who voted
unanimously to accept the proposed language. There is no known opposition to

City of Virginia Beach
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you, Mr. Kemp. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the Consent Agenda? Hearing none, we'll go forward with
our next item number, and even though we all know you, please state
your name for the record.
Mr. Kemp: I am Kevin Kemp. I'm the Zoning Administrator for the City of Virginia
Beach, and I'm the same person who did the first item for the record.
All right the second item is an ordinance to amend section 1906 of
the zoning ordinance, and this is in regards to the composition and
appointment terms for the members of the Old Beach Design Review
Committee. In regards to the composition, currently this committee
has five members, two are required to be from the Resort Advisory
Commission, and the other three are required to be either residence
or property owners of the Old Beach neighborhood. What this
amendment does is it takes one of the required members from
RAC and replaces them with a licensed design professional with
relevant work experience. The second change of the amendment
is in terms of the appointments, and this is just clarifying. So
it adds a subsection that says two of the members will be
appointed to one year, first their first term of one year, two to
two years, and one member to a three year term, and all
subsequent appointments will be three years. Thank you.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you. Mr. Kemp. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the consent agenda? Okay. Thank you very much. You
may be seated. Our next item on the consent agenda is Item
