Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Special Exception of Alternative Compliance for Low-speed Vehicle Rentals as the use is
not expressly listed in the use table of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code. The proposed rental facility
will occupy a tenant space of an existing building (510 17th ½ Street) as well as it associated gravel parking lot (508
17th ½ Street).
• The existing building has previously featured a mix of uses such as indoor recreation, eating and drinking
establishment, and an upper floor office. This proposed use will replace the tenant space which previously housed
the indoor recreation. The required parking for these uses and structures is 25 spaces – There are 8 parking spaces
in the associated gravel parking lot (7 standard spaces, 1 ADA space). A deviation of the required parking spaces is a
part of this request.
• This request is in response to a Notice of Violation issued on August 28, 2023, for the illegal operation of a Low-
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-08_Timothy Paasch (3883 : Timothy Paasch)
speed Vehicle Rental facility on site.
• The applicant for this application also co-operates an illegal Low-speed Vehicle storage and rental facility at 1804
Arctic Avenue.
• While the Oceanfront Resort district Form-based Code does not an expressly list the Low-speed Vehicle Rental as a
permitted use within the Resort Area, the actual operation (i.e. driving) of Low-speed Vehicles is permitted within
the Resort Area.
• The applicant proposes to operate a Low-speed Vehicle Rental facility on site. Low-speed Vehicles are street-legal
vehicles similar in size and appearance to a typical golf-cart. These vehicles are required by law to be equipped with
headlights, brake lights, taillights, reflex reflectors, an emergency or parking brake, an externally mounted rearview
mirror, an internally mounted rearview mirror, a windshield, one or more windshield wipers, a speedometer, an
odometer, braking for each wheel, a safety belt system, and a vehicle identification number. Additionally, Low-speed
Vehicles are not permitted to be operated on public roadways where the maximum speed limit exceeds 35 miles per
hour.
• Every public roadway in the Resort Area features a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less – There are no current
restrictions as to what roadways these vehicles could operate.
• Per Section 7-10 of the City Code, operation of a Low-speed Vehicle is prohibited on the boardwalk and the adjacent
grassy area and bicycle path, oceanfront parks and plazas, the beach, and all sidewalks.
• This request was presented to the Planning/Design Review Committee (PDRC), a subcommittee of the Resort
Advisory Commission (RAC), on March 5, 2024. Following the presentation, the Committee voted to support the
item.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code (ORDFBC) provides flexibility through the Special Exception of
Alternative Compliance process to accommodate unique uses and development forms that contribute to the character
and ambiance envisioned in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP 2030), per Sec. 7.3 of the ORDFBC. The
proposed use of “Low-speed Vehicle Rentals” is not expressly listed within the Permitted Use Table, per Sec. 5.2 of the
ORDFBC, and necessitates the Alternative Compliance request.
The prevalence of Low-speed Vehicles in the Resort Area has increased as several dealerships for these vehicles have
begun operating in the City as well as the growing number of electric vehicle charging stations at hotels. Currently, the
dealerships and renters deliver the Low-speed Vehicles by trailering them down to customers in the Resort. The business
model presented in this application is to have a satellite location for the vehicles to be stored and for customers to have
a pick-up and drop-off location in the Resort Area.
The growing number of Low-speed Vehicles has presented challenges for Resort Management, Parking Management,
and the Police largely related to the illegal operation of these vehicles on sidewalks and the Boardwalk, as well as the
illegal parking of the vehicles. The outcome of this application will not prohibit the use of Low-speed Vehicles in the
Resort Area, nor will it mitigate or solve any issues pertaining to their use in the Resort Area.
With these factors in mind, the Oceanfront Resort District provides ‘Review Standards’ for applications for Alternative
Compliance, noting that the City Council “shall consider the extent to which the proposed development, taken as a
whole,” satisfies these standards. Each of these standards is listed below, with a Staff comment pertaining to the degree
to which the proposal does or does not meet each.
• Promotes modes of transportation other than the automobile, including walking, biking, and transit.
Staff Comments: The proposal for personal Low-speed Vehicle rentals does not promote a mode of
transportation other than the automobile as Low-speed Vehicles are regulated and utilized in a manner virtually
identical to those of traditional automobiles. As Low-speed Vehicles are bound to the same constraints of
automobiles, they do not work towards reducing traffic and congestion nor parking demand in the Resort Area.
Timothy Paasch
Agenda Item 8

Pg.3 7
1.A.a
While micro-transit is a recommendation of the RAMP, the method of compatible micro-transit is not personal
vehicle rentals but rather shared alternative mobility devices such as e-scooters and e-bikes, or larger format
rideshares such as Uber or Lyft services. Further, the ViBe District’s Connectivity Plan emphasizes the
continuance of the district as being pedestrian focused: The continuance of auto-centric uses and uses which
rely on automobiles is antithetical to the goals and visions of the ViBe district as well as the Resort Area as a
whole. As Low-speed Vehicles function and behave no differently than automobiles, this proposed use does not
promote modes of transportation other than the automobile and would not be consistent with the
recommendations of the RASAP or RAMP.
• Creates a built environment that is in scale with pedestrian-oriented activities and provides visual interest and
orientation for pedestrians.
Staff Comments: The requested Low-speed Vehicle rental use does not alter the existing built environment as no
new additions/buildings are being proposed as part of this request. Additionally, the site is located along the 17th
½ Street alley which is not a space typically designed for pedestrians nor should it encourage pedestrianism
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-08_Timothy Paasch (3883 : Timothy Paasch)
given the inherit safety concerns of facilitating people through a road structure designated for vehicular site
access.
• Contributes to a mix of uses in the area that are compatible with each other and work together to create a
memorable and successful place.
Staff Comments: The proposed Low-speed Vehicle rental use is not an “active use” in that it does not generate
nor promote high pedestrianism activity between itself or adjacent uses. The nature of the proposed use
promotes a “pick-up and leave” business model which encourages the use of a private vehicle to go elsewhere in
the Resort Area. Additionally, auto-oriented uses are not compatible with the Oceanfront Resort District as
vehicle uses are intentionally excluded from the Permitted Use Table in order to shift the district towards being
more pedestrian friendly. Given these factors, Staff does not find that a Low-speed Vehicle rental establishment
would be a compatible use within the Resort Area.
• Is consistent with the intent of the regulations applicable to the street frontage in which it is located, as set
forth in Sec. 2.1 of this code.
Staff Comments: The proposed Low-speed Vehicle rental use is to be conducted on 17th ½ Street, an alley.
Alleyways in the Oceanfront Resort district do not have a Street Frontage Type as uses are not intended to be
conducted on the alleys, and alleys are only intended to be utilized as site access points. The parcel this
proposed use is located, 510 and 508 18th Street, features the Beach Frontage Type. The Beach Frontage Type is
intended to serve as a “quieter frontage with high pedestrian activity” and typically feature low- to medium-
density residential and neighborhood-oriented uses (ORDFBC Sec. 2.1). There is a focus on pedestrian oriented
uses along this Street Frontage Type that is not compatible with auto-oriented uses, such as the proposed Low-
speed Vehicle rental use. As such, the proposed use is not consistent with the intent of the associated Street
Frontage Type, and further, Staff does not believe any future automobile/vehicle rental uses would be
appropriate on any Street Frontage Type within the ViBe Creative District given its goal of becoming a walkable
hub.
• Is physically and functionally integrated with the built environment in which it is located.
Staff Comments: Physically, there are no site changes nor construction proposed with this request for a Low-
speed Vehicle rental use. Functionally, the Oceanfront Resort District does not intend for uses to function from
the alleys located in the Resort Area, as alleys are intended for vehicular site access.
• Advances the goals and objectives of the parking strategy for the District.
Staff Comments: This specific proposal of adding a Low-speed Vehicle rental use to the Resort Area does not
reduce parking levels, nor does it provide sufficient parking for the site and use itself. The proposal of
introducing Low-speed Vehicle rentals to the Oceanfront creates a double-parked effect, wherein visitors must
first park their personal vehicle and then must find another parking accommodation for their rented vehicle,

essentially doubling the parking required for one user. The Resort Area does not differentiate Low-speed Vehicle
parking from typical automotive parking, and there is not currently any “Low-speed Vehicle parking only” areas
within the Resort Area, leading to this use introducing a mobility type that actively works towards increasing the
overall need for parking in the Resort Area. Additionally, the subject site where this use is proposed does not
feature adequate parking, per the ORDFBC. As part of this proposal a parking reduction from 25 required parking
spaces to just 8 provided parking spaces is being requested – While Staff finds the parking reduction request to
be unacceptable, it is something that could be approved as part of the Alternative Compliance request should
City Council desire to do so. This proposal does not advance the goals nor objectives of the parking strategy for
the Resort Area.
• The City Council shall also consider the potential impacts of the proposed deviation on surrounding properties
and the extent to which any adverse impacts from such deviation can be mitigated.
Staff Comments: The proposed use is likely to have adverse impacts on surrounding properties as competition
for parking near the use, increase in vehicular movement around the use, and general noise from a rental
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-08_Timothy Paasch (3883 : Timothy Paasch)
establishment is anticipated. Under the current zoning, this site can be developed or redeveloped with a
plethora of by-right uses ranging from residential, office, and retail – Auto-oriented uses are specifically not
listed in the Use Table for the district as they do not contribute towards making a desirable, walkable, year-
round resort. Further, Staff also has concerns that approving this use at this site would create a precedent for
more rental operations to seek approval in the Resort Area. Currently there are already issues with the illegal
use and parking of these Low-speed Vehicles in the Resort without them being directly accessible for renting in
the district. If this use were to be approved, and others were to follow suit, Staff believes there would be
unintended consequences regarding illegal use and parking within a resort area that is actively working on
separating vehicular spaces from the much more desirable pedestrian spaces. Given these factors, Staff believes
the proposed use will be a detriment to surrounding properties and the Resort Area in general. If this is a
desired use in the Resort Area, the plans dictating the future of the district, including the RASAP and RAMP,
should be reevaluated.
When reviewing the proposed Low-speed Vehicle rental business through the criteria above, Staff is unable to find that
this proposed use positively contributes to long term goals of the Resort Area. The Resort Area, as envisioned by the
RASAP, emphasizes a dense and walkable urban form with tourist and service uses that synergize with one another.
Within the resort, visitors are encouraged to park their personal vehicles and explore the district at a pedestrian-level for
the duration of their stay. For trips that may require a longer travel distance within the Resort Area there is the Atlantic
Avenue Trolley, opportunities for bicycle and surrey rentals, as well as rideshare programs such as Uber or Lyft, all of
which are modes of transportation that do not detract from the overall parking of the district. Given this, Staff has
concerns about the larger implications of this use for the district itself and where these rental businesses, which are
diametrically opposed to the goals of Resort Area, fit in to the larger fabric of the year-round, pedestrian-oriented resort
envisioned in our adopted plans and policy.
When examining this specific site for the proposed use, Staff has specific concerns with the site’s Frontage Type, the size
of the site, and the parking on the site. Within the Form-based Code, the Frontage Type is a means to control the
ultimate use of the site. Each Frontage Type establishes a ‘mood’ or ‘feeling’ for the general streetscape, form, and uses
found along it. In the case of this property, the Frontage Type is the Beach Type: The Beach Frontage Type is intended as
a quieter frontage with high pedestrianism and residential areas, and as such the Commercial Building Type and intense
commercial uses are not permitted. Staff finds the general use of vehicle rentals to be a more intense commercial use
that would typically be found in the city along major commercial corridors and not neighborhood-scaled nodes of
commercial use like those intended along the Beach Frontage Type. Further, when examining how this use functions
within the City as a whole, rental uses require a Conditional Use Permit in the zoning districts where they can be located
– This is further evidence that the general use as a whole is viewed at a higher intensity than those uses permitted by-
right, and would be inconsistent with the Beach Frontage Type. Furthermore, Section 239 of the City Zoning Ordinance
establishes a minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square feet for Motor Vehicle Sales and Rentals within other
zoning districts. The current combined site is approximately 13,000 square feet; however, this accounts for the existing

1.A.a
four Short Term Rental units located along 18th Street as well as the commercial building and parking lot along 17th ½
Street. When accounting solely for the area this use would occupy, the site size drops to approximately 4,060 square
feet, or nearly five times smaller than the typically required area within other areas of the City. While this discrepancy in
size can be approved through the Alternative Compliance request, it does underscore the impetus behind the required
lot size in other zoning districts, particularly as it relates to the ability to adequately accommodate parking. While the
four Short Term Rental units located along 18th Street are able to accommodate the required parking for each unit, the
building and uses located along 17th ½ Street cannot. The rear building, based on its existing and proposed uses, would
require 25 on-site parking spaces; however, only 8 spaces are provided on-site, including 1 ADA compliant space. As
such, the site is under-parked by 17 required spaces. Since both the RASAP and RAMP emphasize the need to add
additional parking in the Resort Area to ensure existing and proposed uses are adequately parked, staff finds it difficult
to support this proposal given the significant deficiency in the number of provided spaces. While the applicant stated to
that the rental vehicles will only be kept in inside in the tenant space at 510 B 17th ½ Street, it was also stated by the
applicant to the Resort Advisory Commission’s PDRC that the vehicles will be returned to the gravel parking lot, thus
adding to the on-site vehicular congestion until the rental vehicles are moved by an employee into the tenant space.
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-08_Timothy Paasch (3883 : Timothy Paasch)
Due to these site constraints and the other existing uses operating on the site, Staff does not believe that this particular
site is well suited for the proposed use.
This project was presented to the Planning/Design Review Committee (PDRC), a subcommittee of the Resort Advisory
Commission (RAC) on March 5, 2024. The applicant shared the business model with the Committee. The PDRC voted to
support the request. However, after the meeting the PDRC Chair, Mr. Almond, reached out to Staff to indicate that
multiple members of the Committee had expressed concern about the larger implications of the use in the Resort Area
as well as any impacts the use may have on the surrounding neighboring properties. As of April 24, 2024, a letter of
support from RAC nor PDRC has been received by Staff.
The ViBe District nonprofit board wrote a letter of support for the proposed Low-speed Vehicle rental use noting that
any concerns with pedestrian safety or illegal parking and use of the vehicles could be mitigated by the rental company
via educational signage on each vehicle.
Ultimately, Staff does not support the proposed Low-speed Vehicle rental business given the contradiction between this
proposed use and the adopted policies of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan as well as the inability of the site to
accommodate the intensity of this use, including inadequate on-site parking. Having evaluated the proposal against the
review criteria adopted in the Form-based Code, Staff was unable to find the proposal in conformance with the
aforementioned criteria, and thus recommends denial of this Special Exception for Alternative Compliance to the Form-
based Code. Should Planning Commission or City Council find that this application meets the seven required evaluation
criteria, Staff would recommend that conditions listed below be applied to this request.
Recommended Conditions
1. The total number of Low-speed Vehicles permitted to be stored and rented on this Site shall be seven (7) as shown
on the plan entitled “Tenant Buildout for Moke America” produced by Altruistic Design and dated January 1, 2024.
This fleet of seven (7) vehicles shall be marked as to indicate their connection to the tenant space at 510 Unit B 17th
½ Street as well as their number, between 1 and 7, within the fleet. Any Low-speed Vehicle being stored on the site
which is not designated as one of the fleet vehicles is not permitted.
2. No Low-speed Vehicle marked as one of the seven (7) permitted fleet vehicles is permitted to be stored in the gravel
parking lot adjacent to 510 17th ½ Street. At the time of the fleet vehicles return, the vehicle must be stored in the
tenant space located at 510 Unit B 17th ½ Street.

Vehicles where such sticker or plaque will be seen and read by a reasonably observant customer is required. Such
sign shall contain the following information at a minimum:
a. Operators must be sixteen (16) years or older to operate.
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-08_Timothy Paasch (3883 : Timothy Paasch)
b. Valid driver's license is required of all customers.
c. Customers must be familiar with and obey traffic laws. Violations will be prosecuted by police.
d. Operation is prohibited on the boardwalk and the adjacent grassy area and bicycle path, oceanfront parks
and plazas, the beach, and all sidewalks.
5. Prior to the operation of the Low-speed Vehicle rental establishment an approved business license for this address
must be obtained from the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office.
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
The applicant is seeking an Alternative Compliance approval for 510 & 508 17th ½ Street to establish a Low-speed
Vehicle rental business. This project falls within the Resort Area SGA and the ViBe creative district. Based on the existing
conditions discussed in the Resort Area Mobility Plan, 17th street, or Virginia Beach Boulevard, has a Bicycle Level 3 of
Traffic Stress, meaning traffic congestion for multimodal transportation is congested and riders feel unsafe (p. 36,
RAMP). Adding another form of transit to the street in this area particularly would cause additional stress, especially in
peak season for those outside of automobiles.
Although Low-speed Vehicles can be utilized as a form of micro-transit in certain ride-share formats, the Comprehensive
Planning team does not see the rental of Low-speed Vehicles for individual use as compatible to the goals of the Resort
Area. The Resort Area utilizes shared-ride micro-transit for drop off and pick up, not for private use (p. 48, RAMP). The
existing parking inventory would not be able to handle an influx of Low-speed Vehicles and there is a safety concern on
where they would be designated to park and the potential for the illegal travel in bike and pedestrian lanes, as well as
Timothy Paasch
Agenda Item 8

1.A.a
illegal parking. The residents desire better parking and pedestrian management to make parking safer and the Resort
Area more connected (p. 79, RASAP). In the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan, mobility planning calls to “divert traffic
out of the neighborhoods” and states shared mobility devices “…can pose challenges to vehicular safety and curbside
management” (p.21, RASAP).
The ViBe District, which this property falls within, is deemed “an ideal walkable scale, with most destinations under a 10-
minute walk from one another” (p.3, ViBe Connectivity Plan). Therefore, continuing to encourage a form of
transportation that would not support the safety of pedestrians would be discouraged in the ViBe District.
Based on plan recommendations, Comprehensive Planning would not support a positive recommendation for this
Alternative Compliance request.

Administrative Modifications by the Zoning
Administrator 1
Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 103 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the granting of modifications by the
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-01_Administrative Modifications (3877 : City of Virginia Beach)
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.
Summary of Request
The purpose of this amendment is to grant the Zoning Administrator the authority to make minor modifications to the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. 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.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this 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.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• 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.
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-03_City of Virginia Beach - Lakeview Corporate Park (3878 : City of Virginia Beach)
• 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
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:
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-03_City of Virginia Beach - Lakeview Corporate Park (3878 : City of Virginia Beach)
“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.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• 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.
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-04_Military Aviation Museum (3879 : Military Aviation Museum)
• 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
Military Aviation Museum
Agenda Item 4
Page
Packet Pg.270
2.a
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
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.

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.

2.a
Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to develop a Car Wash Facility on a 1.38-acre outparcel of the
Timberlake Shopping Center. The property is in an area identified in the Timberlake Land Use Plan as a commercial
use. As this total area is greater than three acres, the B-2 Community Business use table governs uses for this
commercial area and identifies Car Wash Facilities as a conditional use.
• A Rite Aid Pharmacy was constructed on this outparcel in 1999 and operated here until 2023 when the store was
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-05_Green Clean Holland, LLC (3880 : Green Clean Holland,LLC)
closed. The applicant is proposing to reuse the existing building for the car wash. While some modifications will be
made to the building to accommodate the new automated car wash tunnel and to rebrand the building, they will
occur within the existing dimensions of the building (see the proposed site layout on page 7 of this report).
• Minor changes are proposed to the existing building to include removal of the existing canopy associated with the
former drive thru pharmacy and a redesign of the branded gable element of the Rite Aid building on the north and
east elevations to include a flat roof indicative of Green Clean’s modern aesthetic. The building will also be repainted
with dark neutral tones and the north and east elevations will be broken up by engineered wood paneling.
• Overhead doors for vehicular access will be installed along the north and east elevations. The primary entrance and
one exit to the tunnel will be located on the north end of the building, facing Holland Road. Customers will have an
option to exit the facility through the east elevation (facing S. Plaza Trail) or to continue through the building to
access eight vacuum stations located inside the facility and then to exit back out the north elevation.
• In addition to the vacuums inside the building, the applicant proposes an additional 17 vacuums on the east side of
the building. These will be central turbine vacuums, black in color, with no overhead canopy. There are two vacuum
equipment pads proposed at the southern end of each row of vacuum stations; the pads will be screened on three
sides with ornamental shrubs.
• There is an existing monument-style sign at the corner Holland Road and S. Plaza Trail that the applicant plans to
reuse. The sign face will be replaced as shown in the exhibit on page 8 of this report. The existing hedgerow will be
removed and required landscaping will be installed.
• Section 228.1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of three parking spaces for each car wash space within
the facility. Five parking spaces are proposed on the concept plan, meeting the parking requirement. One of the
vacuum spaces is designed to be ADA-accessible.
• The existing dumpster area at the southern edge of the parcel will be reused. It is screened with a masonry wall on
three sides with a gate on the fourth. Landscaping will be installed on three sides as required in the Zoning
Ordinance.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this Car Wash Facility is an inappropriate use for this prominent corner along the Holland Road
corridor. The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as being part of the Suburban Area, which recommends the
development of Great Neighborhoods, which are identified as areas that balance residential neighborhoods with
complementary non-residential uses. While Car Wash Facilities can be considered a complementary non-residential use,
they are an auto-oriented and auto-dependent use. The Timberlake Shopping Center is further identified in the 2023
Commercial Area Pattern Book (CABP) as an aging shopping center with dense mixed-use redevelopment potential.
Specifically, the CABP recommends outparcels of large shopping centers like Timberlake Shopping Center be
redeveloped as “the face of the development and (extension of) the neighborhood” in which it is located. Developing an
automated car wash on the shopping center’s most prominent corner in a section of Holland Road with several shopping
centers with similar redevelopment potential continues to entrench auto-oriented design and use in this corridor. Car
washes by their nature do not activate the pedestrian zone; as a potential catalyst site for Timberlake Shopping Center,
adjacent commercial parcels, and the immediate residential neighborhoods, this outparcel has the potential to be a
leader for how the general character of the area will evolve or if it will remain static.
While Staff believes the proposed use does not conform with recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan, Staff does
acknowledge that the proposal is an innovative reuse of an existing building and that the proposed concept plan
improves existing site landscaping. Adaptive reuse, such as what the applicant proposes, is a highly beneficial
redevelopment strategy as it is less impactful on the environment and helps maintain the character of an area. The
redesign of the elevations removes much of the branding of the current building from a standard “Rite Aid” building
design and introduces some color contrast that reduces the scale of the building. The concept landscaping plan is robust
and will add trees and large shrubs where many do not currently exist, including trees to parallel an existing pedestrian
access at the southern edge of the outparcel and along a newly proposed sidewalk connecting Holland Road with the
interior of the shopping center. Existing street trees will remain where possible and will be replaced with new if they
cannot. By closing an existing drive thru lane along the building’s west elevation and by introducing a sidewalk with a
verge on either side, the applicant has reduced existing impervious cover on the property and created additional green
space.

2.a
The proposed reuse and redesign would improve some existing conditions of this outparcel, but this site would be better
suited for a non-auto-oriented use. Apartments east of the site across S. Plaza Trail will look directly out onto the facility
and its vacuum stations. The two corner lots on the north side of Holland Road are developed with a gas station and a
drive-thru restaurant. Expanding this pattern to this property may lead to further erosion of people-centered
redevelopment potential.
With these considerations, Staff recommends denial of this application. Noting, however, the quality of the reuse
proposal, Staff has included a list of recommended conditions should Planning Commission find this to be an appropriate
use for this site.
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-05_Green Clean Holland, LLC (3880 : Green Clean Holland,LLC)

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
This project falls within the Suburban Area as defined in the Comprehensive Plan. The Suburban Area’s guiding principle
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-05_Green Clean Holland, LLC (3880 : Green Clean Holland,LLC)
of maintaining “Great Neighborhoods” calls for complementary non-residential uses at edges of residential areas to
provide goods, services, and employment to nearby residents. Timberlake Shopping Center is also identified in the
Commercial Area Pattern Book (CAPB) as an Inland Character Area (“Holland Road to S. Independence Boulevard”). The
CAPB calls for redevelopment of these areas to focus on improving pedestrian access and circulation of the centers, as
well as supporting multiple modes of transit to the area. Outparcels should be redeveloped with strong anchors like
mixed-use buildings and other key neighborhood-oriented uses that promote community resiliency.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and is located outside the Resource Protection Area.
A portion of the property is located in the Special Flood Hazard Area, AE flood zone; however, the proposed
improvements are located outside the AE flood zone. Should any equipment or structures be located in the AE flood
zone, they will be required to meet the requirements in Appendix K, Floodplain Ordinance.
There are no historical or cultural resources associated with this site.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• 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
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-06_Michele Cleland (3881 : Michele Cleland)
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.

2.a
• 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
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

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.
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.
3. The applicant shall comply with all provisions established for wildlife rehabilitation by the Virginia Department of

Animal Control Department shall be notified immediately.
13. 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.
14. The existing driveway access from London Bridge Road on the eastern side of the property shall only be used by
emergency vehicles and shall otherwise be blocked for use by vehicles (e.g., gated) in accordance with standards and
requirements of the Fire Mashal Office. Non-emergency vehicular ingress and egress shall only be from the shared
entrance on London Bridge Road where there is an existing access easement.
15. Structures on the property, including animal enclosures and excluding fencing, shall have a minimum front yard

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.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• 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.
• 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
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-07_Milestone Manor, LLC (3882 : Milestone Manor, LLC)
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. 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 parents must file a Notice of Intent for homeschooling with Virginia Department of Education
prior to 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 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.

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.
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
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.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers Watershed. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
features associated with this site.

Background & Summary of Proposal
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
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-09_Susanne M. Colligon (3884 : Susanne M Colligon)
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

Agenda Item 9
PacketPage

2.a
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.
While the unit was previously illegally advertised and utilized as a Short Term Rental unit, the property owner has since
complied with the applicable ordinances and has worked with Staff to obtain the required Conditional Use Permit and
Short Term Rental permit.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-09_Susanne M. Colligon (3884 : Susanne M Colligon)
1. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 304 28th St, Unit 208, 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 the dwelling for Short-Term Rental purposes.
3. The dwelling unit shall comply with all required Fire and Building code requirements.
4. 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.
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
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty (30) minutes and to be physical present at the Short Term Rental
within one (1) hour.
8. If, or when, the ownership of the property changes, it is the seller’s responsibility to notify the new property owner
of requirements ‘a’ through ‘c’ below. This information must be submitted to the Planning Department for review
and approval. This shall be done within six (6) months of the property real estate transaction closing date.
a) A completed Department of Planning and Community Development Short Term Rental Zoning Permit; and
b) Copies of the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office receipt of registration; and
c) Proof of liability insurance applicable to the rental activity of at least one million dollars.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• This 34,984 square foot parcel contains the Pacific Place Condominiums and is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort
District. According to City records, this multi-family condominium was constructed in 1969.
• 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.

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.” 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
Attachment: 2024.05.08_PLN-10_Samantha Carrow (3885 : Samantha Carrow)
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
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 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
occurring at the Short Term Rental within thirty (30) minutes and to be physical present at the Short Term Rental
