Planning Commission Public Hearing March 13, 2024
Dwelling Unit, Home Sharing, Kitchen, and Porch
Definitions 1
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-01_ZOA Dwelling unit, Home sharing, Kitchen, Porch Definitions (3749 : City of Virginia Beach)
Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 111 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the definitions of Dwelling Unit, Home
Sharing, Kitchen, and Porch.
Summary of Request
The purpose of this general housekeeping amendment is to clarify and create consistency amongst the definitions of
Home Sharing, Dwelling Unit, and Kitchen, as well as to add a definition of Porch to the ordinance.
1. Home Sharing:
The current definition of “Home Sharing” is “a dwelling in which a room or rooms are offered for rental
compensation for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days by an owner who utilizes the dwelling as his
principal residence and occupies the dwelling during any such period.” During the enforcement process for the Short
Term Rental Ordinance, staff has realized that there is too much ambiguity in what is meant by term “dwelling.” The
Zoning Ordinance identifies several types of “dwellings,” including single-family, duplex, and multi-family dwellings.
The intention of the “home sharing” definition was to reference a “dwelling unit,” a term specifically defined in the
Zoning Ordinance, rather than the more over-arching term “dwelling.” Therefore, staff has initiated this text
amendment to replace “dwelling” with “dwelling unit” in the “home sharing” definition.
2. Dwelling Unit:
The definition of “dwelling unit” is “a room or rooms connected together, constituting an independent housekeeping
unit for a family and including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation.” Staff finds
this definition to be problematic because the Zoning Ordinance does not define a “housekeeping unit.” To provide
clarity to this definition, the text amendment would change “housekeeping unit” to “residence,” which accurately
reflects the intention of the term “dwelling unit.”
3. Kitchen:
Similar to the definition of “dwelling unit,” the definition of “kitchen” contains the term “housekeeping unit.” The
current definition of “kitchen” is “an area with a housekeeping unit which contains a cooking facility.” To provide
clarity and consistency with the definition of a “dwelling unit,” staff has initiated this text amendment that changes
“housekeeping unit” to “dwelling unit” and specifies that a kitchen requires “permanent provisions for cooking.”
4. Porch
Section 111 of the Zoning Ordinance does not specifically define a “porch.” A “porch” is only defined in the
Oceanfront Resort Form Based Code. The Form Base Code defines “porch” as “a one, two, or three-story structure
attached to a building to shelter an entrance or to serve as covered but unenclosed space.” The definition of “porch”
is particularly important regarding setbacks and permitted encroachments. This text amendment adds the definition
of porch from the Form Based Code into Section 111 of the Zoning Ordinance. This provides clarity and consistency
between all zoning codes.

Background & Summary of Proposal
•
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-03,04_Virginia Electric and Power Company dba Dominion Energy Virginia (3751 : Virginia Electric & Power
In 1996, City Council approved a rezoning of this 13.83 acre parcel from AG-1 Agricultural District to Conditional B-2
Community Business District along with a Conditional Use Permit request to construct and operate an Indoor
Recreation Facility. The recreational facility was never constructed.
• The applicant now seeks to rezone the property to Conditional I-1 and construct a 21,216 square foot office building
for approximately 50 employees. The applicant also seeks a Conditional Use Permit request for a Bulk Storage Yard
to store equipment used to support transmission operations in the area. Equipment such as, steel transmission
poles and related hardware, pallets, and approximately 12-24 gas cylinders (inert gas - sulfur hexafluoride) are
proposed to be stored on site. Each gas cylinder is approximately 58 inches tall and 30 inches in circumference.
• The property is located within the greater than 75 dB noise zone of the AICUZ. The proposed office and bulk storage
yard are compatible uses within this noise zone. The Navy reviewed these requests and did not raise any objection.
• The site will utilize temporary access from Dam Neck Road until the future road, Twin Mills Road, is constructed on
the western side of this parcel. At such time, the access point on Dam Neck Road will be closed.
• The proffered plan depicts a pond on the western side of the parcel for stormwater management.
• 72 parking spaces are provided, exceeding the parking requirement of 65 parking spaces for this site.
• The outdoor storage area will be screened by a six-foot tall opaque fence with Category VI landscaping. Existing
vegetation onsite will be preserved to meet screening requirements for the proposed uses.
• The office building is proffered to consist of gray metal panels and masonry brick with a slanted roof. The proposed
building design and materials will be compatible with the surrounding area.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-03,04_Virginia Electric and Power Company dba Dominion Energy Virginia (3751 : Virginia Electric & Power
Staff finds the proposed development, acceptable. The proposed rezoning of the property to Conditional I-1 Light
Industrial District and Conditional Use Permit for a bulk storage yard would complement the research/business park
development in this vicinity. The property is adjacent to the Corporate Landing Business Park and the future Amazon’s
warehouse that is currently under construction. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
recommendations for the Special Economic Growth Area 3 (SEGA) – South Oceana area that calls for high quality
employment, corporate parks and light industrial uses.
The proposed use generates significantly less traffic volume compared to what could be developed under the current
Conditional B-2 zoning designation. While this portion of Dam Neck Road is access controlled, the proposed temporary
access point on Dam Neck Road has been reviewed and determined acceptable by Traffic Engineering staff. The adjacent
property, to be developed with an e-commerce facility, will include the construction of a new public road, Twin Mills
Road, that is estimated to be completed in 2025. At such time, the access point on Dam Neck Road will be closed, a one-
foot no ingress/egress easement will be dedicated along Dam Neck Road, and a new access point for this parcel will be
established on Twin Mills Road.
As the property is located within the greater than 75 dB DNL noise zone, the proposed use and list of materials to be
stored on site has been vetted through the Navy and no objections were raised. The materials will be stored inside an
area that is enclosed by a six-foot tall privacy fence and a Category VI landscape buffer, meeting the bulk storage yard
screening requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The parcel will be cleared in the areas of the proposed building,
parking, BMP, and storage area, and the remaining existing vegetation on site will be used to toward meeting the
screening requirements. Staff is recommending a condition to require the applicant install on site amenities such as
outdoor picnic tables and pedestrian trail for the employees. The types of amenities proposed will be determined during
site plan review.
As the site drains into the Southern Rivers Watershed, a conceptual stormwater management strategy was submitted
and reviewed by Staff. Staff agrees the project can successfully comply with the stormwater requirements. Final design
and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal to ensure conformance with all requirements set forth in
the Public Works Design Standards Manual and Stormwater Management Ordinance.
Based on these considerations, Staff is recommending approval of these requests, subject to the proffers and conditions
listed below.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant,
consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to
“offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,” (§107(h)(1)). Should this application
be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the city as being within the Special Economic Growth Area 3 (SEGA) –
South Oceana. This site is also impacted by high noise zones. The SEGAs are located adjacent to NAS Oceana and have
significant economic value and growth potential, targeting land uses compatible with military uses. The City supports
development of the SEGAs consistent with AICUZ provisions and the City’s economic growth strategy.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the SEGA as an area where high quality employment, corporate parks and light
industrial uses are recommended. The Comprehensive Plan recommends that measures to mitigate negative impacts on
adjoining stable residential areas be part of development proposals in this area. Mitigation measures should include
adequate screening, and light and noise attenuation in building and site design.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is within 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. There are no known cultural resources on the site.

Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
This project consists of a new building, parking lot, and access drives for Dominion Energy at 1585 Dam Neck Road,
located east of Twin Mills Road. This project will include a stormwater management facility to support the proposed
improvements.
Stormwater runoff from a majority of the site currently drains north towards the Dam Neck Road right-of-way, which
ultimately outfalls to West Neck Creek. A small portion of the eastern perimeter of the site currently drains east
towards the existing public storm system along Perimeter Parkway, which ultimately outfalls to Redwing Lake. The
onsite improvements will be directed into a proposed wet pond that will be designed to treat for both water quality and
water quantity before discharging into the existing public drainage system along Dam Neck Road.
Based on the information provided by Kimley Horn in the Preliminary Drainage Study, the DSC agrees that the proposed
conceptual stormwater management strategy can successfully comply with the stormwater requirements. Final design
and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal to ensure conformance with all requirements set forth in
the Public Works Design Standards Manual and Stormwater Management Ordinance. More detailed project stormwater
information is listed below.
Project Information
Total project area: 13.83 acres
Pre-Development impervious area: 0 acres
Post-Development impervious area: 7.41 acres
Stormwater Management Facility Design Information
Type of facility proposed: Wet Pond
Description of outfall: Stormwater runoff from the site will be treated by a proposed wet pond that will discharge into
the public drainage system along the Dam Neck Road right-of-way.
Downstream conveyance path: Runoff leaving the site will be directed towards the Dam Neck Road right-of-way, which
is part of the Upper West Neck Creek Drainage Basin. West Neck Creek leads into the North Landing River, and
ultimately into Back Bay. Back Bay drains through the Currituck Sound and into the Atlantic Ocean.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
The site must connect to City water. There is a 12-inch City water main with 8-inch stub along Perimeter Parkway and a
20-inch City water transmission main along Dam Neck Road.
Sewer
The site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is a 10-inch City sanitary sewer gravity main along Perimeter
Parkway, a 42-in HRSD sanitary sewer force main along Dam Neck Road, and a 6-inch City sanitary sewer force main
located within a public utility easement on the adjacent western property.

Background & Summary of Proposal
The applicants are seeking a Modification of Conditions to remove a 3.88‐acre portion of the property from the
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-05-09_Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC (3752 : Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC)
Conditional Use Permit associated with the Religious Use, Conditional Rezoning requests to rezone an approximately
2.43‐acre portion of the property from R‐10 Residential District to Conditional O‐1 Office District to retain a 3,522
square foot building for office and an approximately 1.45‐acre portion of the property from R‐10 Residential District
to Conditional R‐10 Residential District to develop a five lot single family subdivision at a density of 3.44 units per
acre, as well as Subdivision Variances to lot width for Parcel A and to lot width and street line frontage for Lot 5
within the proposed development.
Within a half‐mile radius of this section of the N. Great Neck corridor, there are a mix of zoning classifications to
include R‐10 Residential, R‐15 Residential, R‐20 Residential, A‐12 Apartment, A‐18 Apartment, and B‐2 Community
Business.
Wycliffe Presbyterian Church has existed on these R‐10 Residential District zoned parcels since the 1960s. A
Conditional Use Permit for a religious use was granted by City Council on August 3, 1966, and separate Conditional
Use Permits were approved for a Pump Station on a 0.045‐acre portion of the property on October 15, 1973, and for
a childcare education center on December 19, 1988. Subsequently, in 2000, the City Council approved an
approximately 4,000 square foot church addition.
One of the applicants, Wycliffe Presbyterian Church, intends to remove an approximately 3.88‐acre portion of the
property from the Conditional Use Permit for a religious use and sell that portion to the other applicant, BHC, LLC.
To remove the 3.88 acres from the Conditional Use Permit, a Modification of Conditions is required.
The remaining 4.13 acres which includes the church facilities and parking, will remain under the church’s ownership.
The remaining acreage exceeds the minimum three‐acre lot area requirement for religious uses, as identified in
Section 240.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
BHC, LLC intends to subdivide the 3.88‐acre portion of the site to create a 2.43‐acre lot (Parcel A) to include the
existing 3,522 square foot A‐frame building and the existing pond on the property, both of which are to be retained.
The applicant has proffered the allowable uses for the existing A‐Frame building to include professional office uses
such as medical, real estate, insurance, legal, and non‐profit offices, as well as religious uses. While the applicant
has proffered up to a 500 square foot addition to the building, the building shall remain substantially in conformance
with the exterior architectural features and appearance of the existing building. The eastern 1.45‐acre portion of site
(Parcel R) will be developed with five single‐family lots accessed via a shared private road from Millwood Road. The
private road will also provide access to proposed Parcel A.
The City previously utilized the existing A‐frame building to operate an Infant Program on the property. The program
was established in 1987 and began using the existing A‐frame building in 1990. As stated previously, the applicant,
Friends of Infant Stimulation, Inc. was granted a Conditional Use Permit for a child care education center by City
Council on December 19, 1988. The City discontinued the use of the A‐frame building on September 17, 2021., when
the church advised that they intended to put the property up for sale. Since that date, the program has operated at
a location off Virginia Beach Boulevard, just west of Town Center.
As depicted on the proffered rezoning exhibit, there are 22 existing parking spaces on the Conditional O‐1 property
(Parcel A), exceeding the maximum parking spaces allowed by six spaces. Since the parking lot will remain in its
current condition as it has been for several decades, the Planning Director is agreeable to the excess number of
spaces as allowed by Section 203(b)(9) of the Zoning Ordinance.

A 10‐foot‐wide landscape buffer is provided between the adjacent residential properties along Millwood Road and
the proposed Conditional O‐1 property (Parcel A), as required by the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Existing vegetation will
remain undisturbed between the R‐20 Residential District parcels to the west to satisfy the buffering requirements.
In addition, a 10‐foot‐wide landscape buffer with Category VI plantings and a six‐foot tall wood privacy fence is also
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-05-09_Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC (3752 : Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC)
proposed along N. Great Neck Road and Millwood Road. The applicant is requesting a height deviation in accordance
with Section 107(i) of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow for the installation of a six‐foot tall fence instead of the four‐
foot maximum height typically permitted within 30‐feet of a public right‐of‐way.
Per Section 4.5 of the Subdivision Regulations, 8% (approximately 5,056 square feet) of open space shall be reserved
to serve residents of residential developments with lots sizes ranging from 10,000 square feet to 14,999 square feet.
In instances where the resulting area to be reserved for recreational purposes would be less than one‐half acre and
would serve no useful public purpose, Section 4.5(b) of the Subdivision Ordinance allows for the consideration of an
alternative to the dedication, to include a cash payment in lieu of the open space dedication, if it is mutually agreed
to by the city council and the developer. Since the open space dedication required for this proposal is less than
one‐half acre, the applicant is requesting to provide a cash payment in lieu of the open space dedication.
The proffered house styles for the five‐lot subdivision depict dwellings with exterior materials to be comprised of
high‐quality architectural shingles, cementitious siding (e.g., "HardiPlank"), brick or masonry stone, or a combination
of those materials along with high‐quality accents such as metal roof and vinyl shutters.
A freestanding monument style sign is proposed at the entrance of the shared private road for the Conditional O‐1
Office District zoned parcel (Parcel A). As proffered, the proposed cultured stone sign will be no taller than five feet
in height and externally illuminated. No sign is proposed for the single‐family subdivision. The proposed freestanding
sign must meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance including the required landscaping around the base.
Per the Code of Virginia Beach, Section 31‐28(d), the City will not make refuse collections on private property. The
applicant is aware and will be providing private services for the pick‐up and disposal of trash and solid waste for this
development.
A Subdivision Variance is requested for the deficiency in lot width for Parcel A, and the lot width and street line
frontage for Lot 5, as shown in the table below.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, these requests for a Modification of Conditions to remove approximately 3.88‐acres from the
previously approved Conditional Use Permit, the Conditional Rezonings to rezone an approximately 2.43‐acre portion
from R‐10 Residential District to Conditional O‐1 Office District and an approximately 1.45‐acre portion from R‐10
Residential District to Conditional R‐10 Residential District to allow for the construction of a five‐lot single‐family
subdivision, as well as Subdivision Variance requests to lot width for Parcel A and the lot width & street line frontage for
Lot 5 are acceptable.
The project falls within the Suburban Area. The request to remove 3.88‐acre portion of the site from the Conditional Use
Permit while retaining 4.13 acres for the church is consistent with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan for the Suburban Area, as the existing church complements the existing uses in the area and provides much needed
services to the surrounding community. In Staff’s opinion, the reduction in the property associated with the church will
not adversely affect the surrounding area as all parking will continue to be met on the site, and the church will continue
to operate as it has for the past several decades with the same building facilities, access, and parking to accommodate
parishioners and guests.
In addition, the Comprehensive Plan recommends that developments within the Suburban Area focus on creating and
maintaining great neighborhoods. Achieving this goal reflects on the ability of developments to maintain and enhance
existing neighborhoods, to be compatible with surroundings, and provide quality and attractive buildings that provide
effective buffering and livability. In Staff’s view, the proposed rezoning to Conditional O‐1 is acceptable since the O‐1
Office District, as stated in the City’s Zoning Ordinance, is intended to provide an environment appropriate to office or
institutional character compatible with residential uses. Staff is of the opinion that the existing office building is a low
intensity use that is compatible with the surrounding residential area. While the existing 3,522 square foot building
could be expanded up to an additional 500 square feet, the building will remain substantially in conformance with the
exterior architectural features and appearance of the existing building, as proffered. As such the building will remain,
largely unchanged, as it has on the site for decades. Furthermore, the applicant has voluntarily selected uses that can
operate within the office building that are also compatible with the surrounding neighborhood as detailed in Proffer 3.
The site will be enhanced with a 10‐foot‐wide landscape buffer to screen the use from the adjacent residential
properties to the north and northwest, to include the retention of existing mature trees and vegetation, which aligns

Agenda Items 5‐9

2.a
with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Also, the five‐lot subdivision is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan’s land use policies for the Suburban Area in creating great neighborhoods. The conditional rezoning
of the property allows Staff to review the proposed proffered plans and elevations to ensure compatibility with the
Comprehensive Plan for this area. In Staff’s opinion, the proposed homes are compatible with the neighboring
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-05-09_Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC (3752 : Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC)
properties and provides quality and attractive home styles that enhance the existing character of the surrounding
community. The development also provides additional landscaping and screening along the public right‐of ways.
Per Section 201 of the Zoning Ordinance, Walls and fences may project into or enclose any part of any yard; provided,
however, that any fence that projects into or encloses a required front yard shall not exceed a height of four (4) feet. As
depicted on the proffered rezoning exhibit, a six‐foot‐tall wood privacy fence is proposed along the front yard for the
proposed lots, which are along N. Great Neck Road and Millwood Road. The applicant is requesting that the increase in
the height of the fence be addressed through the provisions of Section 107(i), which states the following:
The City Council may, for good cause shown and upon a finding that there will be no significant detrimental effects
on surrounding properties, accept proffered conditions reasonably deviating from the setback, lot coverage,
landscaping and minimum lot area requirements and height restrictions … otherwise applicable to the proposed
development. No such deviation shall be in conflict with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
In Staff’s view, the fencing and evergreen plantings will provide an adequate streetscape buffer along the public right‐of‐
ways and will not cause any impact to line of sight, as it meets the 775‐foot sight distance requirement. Furthermore, the
height of the fence is consistent with the fence height on the corner lot in the subdivision across N. Great Neck Road. As
such, Staff is supportive of the deviation request.
It is the opinion of the city’s Traffic Engineering Staff that the traffic generated by the proposed development will result
in 50 average daily trips for the five‐lot single‐family subdivision and 46 average daily trips for the office use. According to
Public Works staff, N. Great Neck Road and Millwood Road have adequate capacity to support the proposed development.
A one‐foot no ingress‐egress easement will be required along N. Great Neck Road with all future access to be from
Millwood Road. The existing entrance along Millwood Road will remain in its current location, as approved by Traffic
Engineering since it is located at the farthest point from the intersection of N. Great Neck Road and Millwood Road.
However, the existing entrance will be widened, as depicted on the proffered plan, to accommodate emergency vehicles.
The proffered rezoning exhibit has been reviewed by the Fire Marshal’s Office and they have agreed that the dimensions
of the shared private access road is sufficient and allows them to adequately service both properties, the Conditional O‐
1 parcel as well as the Conditional R‐10 lots. To ensure adequate emergency access, the applicant has indicated that
they will remove Proffer 4 which states “When the Property is developed, on street parking within the community shall
be restricted to one (1) side of the street” between Planning Commission and City Council to ensure that the shared
access road is in full compliance with the Virginia Beach Fire Prevention Policy.
Due to existing recorded easements on site and the requirement to exclude such area, Parcel A does not meet the required
50‐foot lot width required for O‐1 Office District zoned parcels and Lot 5 does not meet the required 80‐foot lot width and
64‐foot street line frontage for properties zoned R‐10 Residential District. As such, a Subdivision Variance requests are
required.
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations states:
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. 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.
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.

Agenda Items 5‐9

2.a
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and
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.
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-05-09_Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC (3752 : Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC)
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.
Staff finds the variance requests to be compliant with the conditions of Section 9.3. Parcel A has 80 feet of lot frontage
along Millwood Road. Per Section 802 of the Zoning Ordinance, the minimum lot width required in the O‐1 Office District
is 50 feet, measured at the 30‐foot front yard setback. The lot width for this lot is 65.2 feet; however, there is an existing
30‐foot‐wide Dominion Virginia Power Easement running along Parcel A, which cannot be counted towards the
minimum lot width requirement, resulting in a lot width of 35.2 feet, which creates a deficit of 14.8 feet. Since
easements 20‐feet or less in width can be counted towards the lot width requirement, the applicant has been working
with Dominion Virginia Power to vacate 10 feet of the 30‐foot easement on the property. However, since this has not
been finalized, the Subdivision Variance is required. In addition, Lot 5 is depicted as a reverse flag lot with 20 feet of lot
width and 20‐foot street line frontage, where an 80‐foot lot width and 64‐foot street line frontage is required. The
applicant is requesting the variance to Lot 5 to preserve, to the greatest extent possible, the western portion of the site,
including the existing pond, to allow for it to remain in its existing condition. As such, Staff is supportive of these
requests.
Prior to development, all improvements that encroach into an existing public drainage or public utility easement on the
property must be reviewed by Public Works/Real Estate through the Encroachment Agreement review process. As
depicted on the proffered plan, it appears that the shared private road and fencing will encroach into these public
easements. As noted in Condition 2 of the Subdivision Variance requests, an Encroachment Agreement shall be
approved by Public Works/Real Estate, prior to the approval of the site plan, construction plan, and subdivision plat for
this development.
Regarding the proposed single‐family subdivision, information provided by the Virginia Beach City Public School (VBCPS)
Staff indicates that the increase in student enrollment will be minimal with a total of three students, one student for
each level of education: elementary, middle, and high school. The increase in student population will be below
maximum occupancy levels. There is an existing school bus stop adjacent to this development, at the corner of Millwood
Road and Selden Street, to serve students of the Great Neck Estates neighborhood. According to VBCPS staff, nine
students are picked up at this stop in the morning and seven are dropped off in the afternoon. Given this and the
limited number of school‐aged children anticipated with the proposed residential development, VBCPS stated they did
not have any concerns with this development in relation to the existing school bus stop location. They did note that this
is the current location of the existing bus stop and it is subject to change from year to year, as student ridership counts
change. Based on this, the proposal is not expected to negatively impact the school population.
This site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and a narrative was provided by the applicant that indicates the
intention to address water quality and quantity through the pond on the property. If additional treatment is needed,
infiltration systems, bioretention planting beds, or underground storage facilities will be installed by the applicant. The
pond is situated almost entirely on the proposed Conditional O‐1 parcel (Parcel A). A 10‐foot public drainage easement
running through the pond was dedicated to the City by subdivision plat (M.B. 122 PG. 40) and was acquired on
9/29/1977 when the plat was recorded. The City’s existing easement allows the City to maintain water flow through the
pond and into Lake Conrad #3. Staff support of the application does not constitute an agreement by the City to assume
additional maintenance responsibilities for the pond. The pond is handling drainage for the church and will continue to
do so. It is the opinion of Staff that all future maintenance of the pond shall be the responsibility of the property owners
of the proposed Conditional O‐1 parcel and the church, except for the City’s discretionary maintenance of the flow of
water through its existing easement. An in‐depth review of the stormwater management strategy will occur during the

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area. The general planning principles
for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability;
protecting and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity, and relationship to the surrounding uses. Overall, the proposal is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan’s recommendations for this area.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The site is wooded with mature trees and shrubs. The impervious
area of the site includes the church, several accessory buildings, and parking areas. The site also contains a freshwater
pond.

The pond is considered non‐tidal wetlands and does not fall under the jurisdiction of City Code, Appendix A, Article 14 –
Wetlands Zoning Ordinance. Vegetated wetlands are defined in the city’s Wetland Zoning Ordinance as lands lying
between and contiguous to mean low water and an elevation above mean low water equal to the factor one and one‐
half (1½) times the mean tide range at the site of the proposed project in the City of Virginia Beach. The tidal elevation
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-05-09_Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC (3752 : Wycliffe Presbyterian Church & BHC, LLC)
based off NAVD 88 datum for this portion of the Lynnhaven is as follows: Mean Low Water (MLW) elevation: ‐1.2, Tidal
Range elevation: 1.9, Mean High Water (MHW): 0.7. While this area is classified as a lake habitat wetland on the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service, National Wetland mapper, the elevations limit the local Wetlands Board jurisdiction, as described
in the city’s Wetland Zoning Ordinance from MLW to an elevation of 1.7 feet (1 ½ times the mean tide range).

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Modification of Proffers to amend proffers associated with a 2004 Conditional
Rezoning and 2023 Modification of Proffers on this Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District zoned property located
within the greater than 75 dB DNL noise zone and the Accidental Potential Zone 1 (APZ-1) of the Air Installations
Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ).
• The applicant is requesting to modify Proffer 2 and Proffer 3 in the 2023 Proffers to implement the following
changes to the previously proffered conceptual landscape plan, building elevations and building renderings:
o The proffered landscape plan will be modified to enhance the 25-foot Category II Landscape Buffer along the
southern and eastern property lines. The buffer will now consist of a mixture of large shrubs, understory
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-11_Born Primitive, LLC (3753 : Born Primitive, LLC)
trees, and canopy trees to provide a contiguous screening of plant material. Canopy trees will be installed at
1 ½ inches to 2 inches caliper with a 35-foot height or greater a maturity, understory evergreen trees will be
installed at 6 feet and grow between 12 to 35 foot in height at maturity, and large shrubs will be installed at
3 to 4 feet in height and grow to 8 feet or greater at maturity.
o The building height will increase from 26 feet at the roof peak to 35 feet.
o Additional and larger windows have been added to break up the mass of the exterior façade.
o The company logo on the front façade of the building, facing Virginia Beach Boulevard, has been slightly
modified, as well as the verbiage on the roof, as depicted.
• As shown on pages 9 & 10 of this report, the building elevations will be comprised of red, white, and blue metal
panels to align with the company’s branding. The side and rear elevations will be clad with gray metal panels and the
north elevation, which fronts Virginia Beach Boulevard, will include a gray stone veneer along the base of the
structure.
• As proffered, the Conceptual Landscape Plan shows the required building foundation, interior parking lot coverage,
and street frontage plantings along with the 25-foot-wide buffer with Category II landscape plantings to screen the
site from the residentially zoned properties to the south and east.
• The proposed hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request to modify the proffers to amend the conceptual landscape plan, building elevations, and renderings to
develop the site with an office warehouse is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. The office warehouse is generally consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan’s land use policies for the Suburban Area. A guiding principle for the Suburban Area is to
create “great neighborhoods,” which are stable and sustainable. In Staff’s opinion, the proposed office warehouse is a
low intensity use that will have minimal customer traffic and generally operates with little to no noise. As stated
previously, operating hours are typically between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which will have minimal impact on
the surrounding residential properties. While the Comprehensive Plan would generally recommend a lower building
height to better align with the adjacent residential dwellings, as previously mentioned, the applicant intends to install a
more substantial landscape buffer adjacent to the residential properties to better screen the proposed building from the
adjacent residences.
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-11_Born Primitive, LLC (3753 : Born Primitive, LLC)
As stated previously, the property is located within the greater than 75 dB DNL noise zone and the APZ-1. The proposed
office warehouse use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s land use policies for this area and is compatible with
Naval flight operations. As indicated in Proffer 4, the use of the property shall only be developed as an office warehouse
operation.
Due to the success of the business, the applicant seeks to increase the height of the building from 26 feet to 35 feet to
allow for more clear height within the warehouse for storage. With the proposed increase in building height, Staff
recommended that the buffering along the southern property line be enhanced to consist of a mixture of large shrubs,
understory trees, and canopy trees spaced in a manner to provide a contiguous screening of plant material along the
entire property line, as shown on the modified conceptual landscape plan. In response, the applicant has included a
variety of large shrubs, understory trees, and canopy trees in the required buffer area. The intent of the understory and
canopy trees is to provide a more enhanced visual buffer of the building façade from the adjacent residential properties
with species that mature to a height ranging from 12 feet to 35 feet. The applicant was amendable to this and has
proffered a revised conceptual landscape plan to implement these recommendations.
Based on the considerations provided above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the modified proffers
listed below.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant,

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this property as being within the “Suburban Area.” Guiding principles have been
established in the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to the stability of the Suburban Area and to
provide a framework for neighbors and places that are increasingly vibrant and distinctive. 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 ensures the stability and sustainability of the Suburban Area now
and in the future. Compatible infill development is encouraged, as long as the use is appropriate, and the building is in
scale with the surrounding area. Special Area Development Guidelines call for buildings to be oriented to the street and
designed to encourage pedestrian movement. Building massing and height should be appropriate to the surrounding
area, as well as provide visual and architectural interest through staggered building placement and varied rooflines.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant seeks to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for an Outdoor Recreational Facility to operate a 40,000
square foot Inflatable Park.
• The property is zoned B-2 Community Business and is located within the Suburban Area. This use will occur on an
outparcel of the Lynnhaven Mall within an existing parking lot. The operation of the park is seasonal and expected to
occur annually from March to September. When all operations cease for the season, the inflatable park will be
removed from the property.
• The proposed use will consist of four inflatable structures. The structures will be deflated every night in no more
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-12_Lynnhaven Mall, LLC (3754 : Lynnhaven Mall, LLC)
than 20 minutes. Included on the property will be limited concessions, and portable restrooms and handwashing
stations that are to be serviced daily. Hours of operation are 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, seven days a week. 15 employees
are anticipated. Amplified speakers will be used for general announcements during the hours of operation, amplified
music is not permitted.
• This request is proposed on one of the many parcels that comprise Lynnhaven Mall. A total of 5,241 parking spaces
are required for the Mall, while a total of 5,396 parking spaces are provided. The proposed Outdoor Recreational
Facility will occupy 142 parking spaces, leaving a total of 5,254 available parking spaces; therefore, the parking
requirements will continue to be met onsite.
• The Inflatable Park will be enclosed with a 6-foot-tall chain link fence that will be covered in black mesh. There are
no proposed changes to the existing landscaping and no proposed signage associated with the proposal.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request to operate an Outdoor Recreational Facility is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. The addition of a temporary
inflatable park to the existing Lynnhaven Mall is in keeping with the Suburban Area’s guiding principle of maintaining
“Great Neighborhoods” looks for non-residential uses to be complimentary to the adjacent residential areas. The

placement of the Inflatable Park within the existing parking lot would be supported by the Comprehensive Plan as it
provides a recreational use within a predominately commercial area. While the use will generate a certain amount of
noise, given the proposed hours of the park which coincides with the typical hours of other commercial locations in the
area, staff does not believe the proposed use will cause a nuisance to the surrounding community. The proposed use will
have minimal traffic impact to the surrounding areas as the visitors for the inflatable park may also be visitors of the
mall.
This portion of the property is located within the greater than 75 dB noise zone of the Air Installation Compatible Use
Zones (AICUZ). Many uses within these noise zones are restricted, as identified in Article 18 of the Zoning Ordinance;
however, the use of Outdoor Recreational Facilities is considered compatible.
As previously mentioned, a chain link fence with black mesh will enclose the perimeter of the inflatable park to ensure
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-12_Lynnhaven Mall, LLC (3754 : Lynnhaven Mall, LLC)
visitors to the park, including children, will be contained within the designated footprint. While Staff would not
generally support the use of a chain link fence, since the proposed use is temporary in nature and will not be
permanently installed on the site, staff is agreeable to its use. Furthermore, the black mesh will provide a certain
amount of screening from the adjacent roadway and residential properties.
In Staff’s opinion, the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is complementary to the existing
commercial uses. Therefore, Staff is recommending approval of this request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. Operation of the Outdoor Recreational Facility shall be in substantial conformance with the site layout plan entitled
“SITE PLAN DRAWN BY TMK”, dated December 2023, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council
and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community Development.
2. The use of amplified speakers for announcement purposes is permitted during the hours of operation, 10:00 am to
7:00 pm, seven days a week. Amplified speakers shall be directed inward of the property toward the shopping
center and away from residential properties. The use of amplified speakers for music is prohibited.
3. The maximum occupancy load shall not exceed the maximum number as required by the Fire Marshal.
4. The operations of the Inflatable Park shall be limited to the months of March to September.
5. Hours of operation are limited to 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, seven days a week.
6. All inflatables shall be deflated at the close of business every evening.
7. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections prior to operating.
8. The proposed use shall be screened by a six-foot tall fence with mesh screening and shall be subject to final approval
from the Department of Planning and Community Development.
9. Any on-site signage for the operations shall meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance, and there shall be
no neon, electronic display. A separate sign permit shall be obtained from the Department of Planning & Community
Development for the installation of any new signs.
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

Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-13_Terry Moore Miffleton (3755 : Terry Moore Miffleton)
aware of the need for a Conditional Use Permit when filing for the STR Permit with the Zoning Division in
November 2023.
• Since this property was not registered 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 January 29, 2024 is shown in the chart below:

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant is requesting to operate a two-bedroom, 941 square-foot Short Term Rental within the Dolphin Run
Condominium building. Since the site is located in the Oceanfront Resort (OR) Short Term Rental Overlay District, Short
Term Rental use is expected. The parcel is bounded by the Boardwalk, Beach, and Atlantic Ocean to the east, the 4th
Street Connector Park to the north, the 3rd Street Connector Park to the south, and Atlantic Avenue to the west. The
surrounding area is a mixture of multi-family dwellings, commercial retail, resort hotels, mixed-use buildings, and other
resort-oriented uses.
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
Terry Moore Miffleton
Agenda Item 13
PacketPage
Pg. 3

2.a
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.” Dolphin Run
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 along the Atlantic Avenue Corridor, which includes the most prominent frontage of resort-
oriented uses at the Oceanfront Resort. According to the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, residential and
mixed-use development in the Resort Area is necessary to achieve the goal of a year-round destination, affording a more
walkable, vibrant, engaging community at the Oceanfront Resort. The use of the dwelling as a Short Term rental helps
Attachment: 2024.03.13_PLN-13_Terry Moore Miffleton (3755 : Terry Moore Miffleton)
achieve this goal by providing diverse lodging opportunities for visitors seeking unique travel experiences.
