ITEM: WADE W. BELL [Applicant & Property Owner] Subdivision Variance
(Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations) for the property located at
3957, 3961, 3969 Dawley Road and parcel between 3957 & 3961 Dawley Road
(GPINs 2411278385, 2411277361, 2411278241, 2411278120). COUNCIL
DISTRICT 2
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024
Background:
The applicant seeks to reduce and reconfigure four (4) lots, that were improperly
created by deed between 1955 and 1974, into three (3) lots. All four existing lots
are substandard with regards to the dimensional requirements for property zoned
AG-2 Agricultural District. While the proposed three lots will remain substandard in
lot area, lot width, street line frontage, and side yard setback for properties zoned
AG-2 Agricultural District, the proposed reconfiguration of these lots will improve
the degree of non-conformity.
Considerations:
It was common practice in the past for property owners to deed a small portion of
their land to a family member, which was the case in this instance. Two of the four
lots have been developed with single-family dwellings since 1940. Once
reconfigured, the proposed lots will be similar in size and shape to the lots
immediately to the north and south of this site.
The applicant resides on one of the proposed lots and intends to sell the other two
for development of single-family dwellings. Conditions are recommended to
ensure newly constructed dwellings will contain architectural design elements that
are recommended in the Rural Area Design Guidelines as well as the requirement
for a vegetative buffer between residential structures and the abutting agricultural
operations to the west.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached staff report. There is no known opposition to this request.
Recommendation:
On January 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.

conceptual subdivision plan entitled “Re-Subdivision Exhibit of Property Owned
by Wade W. Bell”, dated October 23, 2023, and prepared by Parrish Layne

• This request was deferred on the December 13, 2023 Planning Commission public hearing to allow the applicant and
the adjoining western property owner to discuss the potential of an alternative subdivision layout that would
provide access to the western parcel. Staff has since been informed that the adjoining property owner will pursue
alternative methods for access to their site and as such there is no change to the subdivision layout as proposed.
• The applicant seeks to reduce and reconfigure four (4) lots that were improperly created by deed between 1955 and
1974 into three (3) lots. All four existing lots are substandard with regards to the dimensional requirements for
property zoned AG-2 Agricultural District. As the lots were deeded after the adoption of the Princess Anne County
Subdivision Ordinance in 1953 which required lots be subdivided via recorded plat, a Subdivision Variance is
required.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request to reconfigure four non-conforming lots to make three lots that are more conforming with regards to lot
area, lot width, street line frontage, and building setback, is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. It was common practice in
the past for property owners to deed a small portion of their land to a family member, which was the case in this
instance. These lots are owned by the Bell family and two of the four lots have been developed with single-family
dwellings since 1940. Once reconfigured, the proposed lots will be similar in size and shape to the lots immediately to
the north and south of this site.
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations indicates that City Council shall not approve a Subdivision Variance unless
specific findings can be made. A brief analysis of each required finding is provided below.
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
Staff Analysis: These properties are substandard and were established after the adoption of the Subdivision
Regulations. However, they were developed with single-family dwellings in the 1940’s, prior to the adoption of
the Subdivision Regulations.
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.
Staff Analysis: The surrounding area consists of single-family dwellings. The proposed single-family
developments would not be detrimental or adversely affect the character of the area as it will continue the
established pattern of development.

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.

Staff Analysis: The proposal is not recurring in nature; an amendment to the Ordinance is not required.
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.
Staff Analysis: The hardship is not self-inflicted. These properties were deeded by previous property owners and
the proposed reconfiguration of these lots will make them more conforming.
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 Analysis: The hardship is created by the requirements of the Ordinance. The four existing lots are
substandard in lot area, lot width, street line frontage, and building setbacks. The proposed reconfiguration will
reduce the number of lots to three and make all lots more conforming in dimensional standards for properties
zoned AG-2 Residential District.
The Rural Development Guidelines set forth in the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan recommend a minimum
50-foot wide, vegetative buffer be installed between proposed residential structures and abutting agricultural
operations. As there is active cultivation operation on the adjacent western parcel at this time, it is recommended that
this buffer be required. Staff also recommends a condition that requires the newly constructed dwelling to contain
some elements of the architectural design that are consistent with the recommendations in the Rural Area Design
Guidelines, such as a front porch, pitched roof lines, board and batten siding, and a side-loading garage.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions and deviation as
noted.
Recommended Conditions
1. When redeveloped, a maximum of one (1) dwelling unit shall be permitted on each lot. The architectural design of
any new dwelling shall reflect the recommendations found in the Rural Area Design Guidelines.
2. Construction of new single-family dwellings shall meet the minimum required building setbacks on each lot.
3. Approval from the Virginia Beach Department of Public Health Department shall be required for development on
each lot.
4. The 50-foot wide, vegetative buffer set forth in the Rural Area Development Guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan
shall be required along property lines abutting agricultural operations.
5. A subdivision plat shall be required to be recorded prior to release of the first building permit. The lots shall be in
substantial conformance with the conceptual subdivision plan entitled “Re-Subdivision Exhibit of Property Owned by
Wade W. Bell”, dated October 23, 2023, and prepared by Parrish Layne Design Group, a copy of which has been
exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning and are

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property 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. Successful rural residential developments do not dominate, but rather,
complement the setting and showcase the attractiveness of the natural surrounding countryside.
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. There does not appear to be any significant cultural resources associated with the site.

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Application number six Wade Bell. Mr. Bell here
today?
Mr. Bell: Good afternoon.
Ms. Cuellar: Could you please state your name for the record?
Mr. Bell: Wade Bell.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you, and are the conditions acceptable to you?
Mr. Bell: Yes, ma'am, it is.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. You may be seated.
Mr. Bell: Thank you.
Ms. Cuellar: Is there any opposition to this item being placed on the consent agenda?
Hearing none, I have asked Commissioner Clemons to read this item into
the record.
Mr. Clemons: Thank you. This request was deferred on December 13th, 2023, Planning
Commission public hearing to allow the applicant and the adjoining western property
owner to discuss the potential of an alternative subdivision layout that would provide
access to the western parcel. Staff has since been informed that the adjoining property
owner will pursue alternative methods for access to their site. The applicant seeks to
reduce and reconfigure four lots that were improperly created by deed between 1955 and
1974 into three lots. All four existing lots of substandard with regard to the dimensional
requirements for the property zone AG-2 agricultural district. As the lots were deeded
after the adoption of the Princess Anne County, subdivision ordinance in 1953, which
required lots to be subdivided by recorded plat, a subdivision variance is required. While
the proposed three lots will remain substandard in lot area, lot width, street line frontage,
and side setback for properties AG-2, the proposed reconfiguration of these lots will
improve the degree of nonconformity. Based on these considerations, staff
recommended the approval of the request and the commission relegated this to the
consent agenda.

Expansion) for the property located at 3282 Holland Road (GPIN
1485999736). COUNCIL DISTRICT 3
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024
Background:
In 1999 City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit request for operation of
an Automobile Service Station, Automobile Repair Garage, and Car Wash Facility
on the 1.71-acre parcel, zoned B-2, located at the intersection of Lynnhaven
Parkway and Holland Road. The applicant now seeks to modify that approval to
include 22 self-service vacuum stations and update the parking layout to improve
vehicular circulation on-site. The proposed vacuum stations are neutral in color
and complement the existing building. Half of the vacuum stations will include
overhead canopies located on the interior of the site while the remaining half will
be mounted onto six-foot tall posts along Holland Road. A row of evergreen shrubs
will be installed to help screen the vacuum stations from the public right-of-way.
Considerations:
The proposed self-service vacuum stations will complement existing services
offered on this site. These auto-related uses are compatible with commercial
centers that service the surrounding neighborhoods and communities.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached staff report. There is no known opposition to this request.
Recommendation:
On January 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.
1. All conditions associated with the 1999 Conditional Use Permit approval shall
remain in effect and Conditions 2, 3, 4, 5, as indicated below, shall be added.

entitled, “Concept Plan Car Spa”, dated December 11, 2023, prepared by

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.
The request for modifications is seen as reasonable for Comprehensive Planning, especially the improvement in
circulation. Furthermore, to continue the improvement of circulation and access, there should be clearly marked and
visible crosswalks for pedestrians. Bicycle racks should be posted near the building to encourage multimodal
transportation for primarily employees as this is an automobile service station. Wherever possible, it is recommended to
boost landscaping amenities through using native species around the site as natural screening from the road and to
boost the overall aesthetic of the property.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. A portion of this site is located in the Resource Protection Area, the
most stringently regulated portion of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. No development is proposed in this
portion of the site. There do not appear to be any significant cultural resources associated with the site.

Owner] Modification of Proffers to a Conditional Rezoning (Amend Proffers
from 2004) and Conditional Use Permit (Bulk Storage Yard – Tow Lot) for
the property located at 2625 Horse Pasture Road (GPIN 1495656521).
COUNCIL DISTRICT 5
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024
Background:
The 2.44 acre parcel zoned I-1 Light Industrial is part of the Taylor Farm
Commerce Park was conditionally rezoned in 2002 and amended in 2004. The
applicant seeks to modify the 2004 amended proffers to allow vehicular parking
and outdoor storage to be located between the building and Dam Neck Road. The
remaining parcels in this Commerce Park will remain subject to the 2002 and the
amended 2004 proffers. In conjunction with this request, the applicant also seeks
a Conditional Use Permit to construct and operate a tow/impound lot for motor
vehicles, which is classified as a Bulk Storage Yard in the Zoning Ordinance.
The development includes a 300 square foot office building which will conform to
the original and amended proffers for building design and materials.
Considerations:
The Planning Commission concurred with Staff, finding the request for a bulk
storage yard to store motor vehicles outdoors within the Taylor Farm Commerce
Park to be acceptable. As proposed, the storage yard will not be visible from Dam
Neck Road; it will be screened by an eight-foot privacy fence with Category VI
landscaping. In addition, the bulk storage yard is proposed to be setback 164 feet
from Dam Neck Road with an existing 50-foot wide landscape buffer running
parallel to Dam Neck Road.
Stormwater runoff from the proposed building and storage yard will be collected
into an underground detention system that will treat for both water quality and
water quantity before discharging into the existing public wet pond to the south.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached staff report. There is no known opposition to these
requests.

Background & Summary of Proposal
•
Attachment: PLA - C the Jems, LLC (COMBINED) (3699 : C THE JEMS, LLC [Applicant] JONATHAN PROPERTIES, LLC [Property Owner]
The subject site is located within the Taylor Farm Commerce Park and was rezoned to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial
on May 14, 2002. In 2004, the proffers were amended to require a minimum side yard setback of 30 feet for lots
that abut Dam Neck Road.
• The applicant seeks a Modification of Proffers to amend Subsection G of Proffer 2 from the 2004 amended proffers
to allow vehicular parking and outdoor storage to be located between the building and Dam Neck Road. The
amendment to Subsection G will only be applicable to this parcel. The remaining parcels in this Commerce Park will
remain subject to the 2004 amended proffers. In conjunction with this request, the applicant also seeks a
Conditional Use Permit to construct and operate a tow/impound lot for motor vehicles, which is classified as a Bulk
Storage Yard in our Zoning Ordinance.
• The property is located within the greater than 75 dB DNL and APZ-1 of the AICUZ. The proposed use of a tow lot is
compatible within both the noise and accident potential zones.
• The development includes a 300 square foot office building consisting of wood or cement siding, architectural
asphalt shingles, vinyl clad windows, and shutters.
• Parking surfaces are required to be constructed of concrete, asphalt, or of a suitable material approved by the
Planning Director per Section 203(b)(5). The applicant seeks to be allowed to use gravel as a parking surface.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, the applicant’s request for a bulk storage yard to store motor vehicles outdoors within the Taylor Farm
Commerce Park is acceptable. The storage yard will be screened by an eight-foot privacy fence with Category VI
landscaping. In addition, the bulk storage yard is proposed to be setback 164 feet from Dam Neck Road. Furthermore,
there is an existing 50-foot wide landscape buffer running parallel to Dam Neck Road and an stormwater management
pond that will further screen the site from Dam Neck Road.

The subject property is located within the South Oceana Special Economic Growth Area (SEGA), which the
Comprehensive Plan identifies as having significant economic value and growth potential. Developments along key
roadways are desired to have attractive and high-quality architectural building materials and designs. This particular
portion of the SEGA is designated for a mix of light industrial, low-rise office, and limited retail use. As such, the
proposed bulk storage yard would be considered a compatible use.

Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
This project consists of a storage yard for towed vehicles. In addition to the storage yard, this project will include a small
building, and an underground stormwater management facility to support the proposed development.
Stormwater runoff from the site currently sheet flows in two directions, towards the public wet pond to the south, and
towards the drainage ditch to the west. Stormwater runoff from the proposed building and storage yard will be
collected into an underground detention system that will treat for both water quality and water quantity before
discharging into the existing public wet pond to the south. The purchase of offsite nutrient credits will be utilized for any
remaining water quality pollutant load reduction requirements not treated by the underground detention system.
Based on the information provided by Civil Engineering and Construction Services 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. More detailed project
stormwater information is listed below.

ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH [Applicant & Property Owner] Change of Zoning
(R-7.5 Residential to P-1 Preservation) for the property located at 4549
Revere Drive (GPIN 1475378501). COUNCIL DISTRICT 1
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024
Background:
This request is for a Rezoning from R-7.5 Residential to P-1 Preservation District.
The property is located along Revere Drive, within the Salem Woods
neighborhood. The site currently serves as a neighborhood park with open green
space, a parking lot, and maintenance building.
The parcel was previously owned by the Salem Woods Civic Association. For
financial reasons, the neighborhood dedicated the park to the City of Virginia
Beach in July of 2020. The conveyance was made conditionally requiring the City
to rezone the parcel to P-1 Preservation within two years of the date of the deed.
While the City missed the original deadline, the civic association was willing to
provide the City an additional two years to complete the agreement.
Considerations:
The proposed use is, in staff’s opinion, acceptable, as the property’s use as a
neighborhood park will not change and any park improvements to the site will not
change the character of the neighborhood.
The applicant intends to use the site as a passive park that is open to the public.
Future park improvements including equipment, park benches, and walkways will
be dependent on funding. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as
Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached staff report. There is no known
opposition to this request.
Recommendation:
On January 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: PLA - City of Virginia Beach (COMBINED) (3701 : CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH [Applicant & Property Owner] Change of Zoning (R-7.5
• The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 4549 Revere Drive from R-7.5 Residential to P-1 Preservation.
• This parcel was previously owned by the Salem Woods Civic Association. For financial reasons, the neighborhood
dedicated the park to the City of Virginia Beach.
• As indicated in the Deed of Dedication (Instrument # 202000105846), a conveyance was made conditionally that the
City would rezone the parcel to P-1 Preservation within two years of the date of the deed. The City of Virginia Beach
missed the original deadline, but the civic association was willing to provide the City with an additional two years to
complete the agreement. The applicant is now coming forward to satisfy the condition.
• The applicant intends to continue utilizing this space as a neighborhood park. The park will be used as a passive park
that is open to the public in the interim and will eventually be developed with typical park amenities to include
playground equipment, picnic tables, and walkways, as depicted on the proposed conceptual site plan on page five
of this report. However, there is no funding designated for the improvements at this time.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request to rezone this property from R-7.5 Residential to P-1 Preservation is acceptable. The site is located within
the Suburban Area and Staff believes that the proposed rezoning falls within the Comprehensive Plan’s guiding principle
to create great neighborhoods while protecting and enhancing natural areas and open space. In Staff’s opinion, rezoning
this site to P-1 Preservation is complementary to this area as the existing use of the site will not change. Instead, the
proposed zoning district will allow the natural area to be protected and improved while enhancing the community.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
This property is located within the Suburban Area of the city, as designated by the Comprehensive Plan. Guiding
principles have been established in the Comprehensive Plan to protect the stability of the Suburban Area and to protect
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 11

and enhance natural areas and open spaces. 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
Attachment: PLA - City of Virginia Beach (COMBINED) (3701 : CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH [Applicant & Property Owner] Change of Zoning (R-7.5
Suburban Area is maintained in a sustainable way.
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 groundwater, poorly draining soils, and high-water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters. There do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.
Public Utility Impacts
Water & Sewer
This site must connect to city water and sanitary sewer.

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Application number 11, City of Virginia Beach. We
don't have a representative here today, but knowing that there's no
opposition to this item, and it's going to be placed on the consent agenda,
I've asked Commissioner Estaris to read this item into the record.
Ms. Estaris: Thank you. The applicant is requesting rezoning the property at 4549

reasons, the neighborhood dedicated to the park, the park to the City of

original deadline, but the Civic Association was willing to provide the city
with an additional two years to complete the agreement. The applicant
intends to continue utilizing the space as a neighborhood park. In the staff's
opinion, the rezoning the site to P-1 is complimentary to the area, as existing
use of the site will not change. Instead, the proposed zoning district will
allow the natural area to be protected and improved while enhancing the
community. With the planning staff's recommendation for approval and with

CORPORATION [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Bulk Storage
Yard) for the property located at 405 S Witchduck Road (GPIN 1466795644).
COUNCIL DISTRICT 1
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard to
continue storing food trucks and trailers at 405 S Witchduck Road. The applicant
operates a commercial kitchen at which independent food truck vendors can store
and prep food for their operations. As their business established and evolved over
time, the applicant began leasing parking spaces at this site to vendors to leave
their food trucks and trailers and was unaware of the requirement for a Conditional
Use Permit to do so.
The applicant is proposing to use 20 parking spaces on site for food trucks and
trailers and has identified these spaces on a concept plan. Additionally, the
applicant is requesting deviations from the screening requirements for Bulk
Storage Yards as set forth in Section 228 of the Zoning Ordinance: the applicant
proposes fencing only along the rear property line and a portion of the northern
property line between the site and Patriots Park; to add plantings only along the
north property, S Witchduck Road, and in the northwest corner of the property
inside the fence; and to only enclose the dumpster on site with fencing. The
applicant requests these deviations due to the extent of existing pavement and
narrow widths between the property lines and existing curb lines which are
insufficient to sustain healthy plants.
Considerations:
While there have been several applications to rezone properties in this area to B-
4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use District, this property is one of a few in the
heart of Kempsville that retains B-2 Community Business zoning. Bulk Storage
Yards are conditional uses in B-2 Community Business; they are not permitted in
B-4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use. The uniqueness of this specific Bulk
Storage Yard and the business it supports are compatible with Historic Kempsville.
This parcel falls within the area recommended for commercial use and supports
many small, local businesses. It is a viable reuse of a parcel originally developed
as a drive-thru restaurant.

Attachment: PLA - The Lab Commercial Kitchen (COMBINED) (3705 : THE LAB COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, LLC [Applicant] BONNEY BROTHERS
The local food truck industry has grown in recent years, primarily with independent
operators. For food truck or food trailer operators who are unaffiliated with a brick-
and-mortar restaurant, it is challenging to find locations to park/store their vehicles
and to have access to commercial kitchen spaces. The applicant provides both
these opportunities and is an incubator for the local food scene. By prepping food
and storing vehicles here, it is easier for operators to comply with local food and
health requirements.
The requested deviations to the screening requirements for this property are also
acceptable. Most of the site is currently impervious surface, either as part of the
parking lot, the walkway around the building, or the building itself. This limits where
screening and landscaping elements can be installed without substantial land
disturbance.
In its review of the application, the Planning Commission recommended approval
of the request with a modification to the proposed concept plan as referenced in
Condition 1. The modification was to reduce the length of proposed fencing along
the property line between the subject site and Patriots Park to run from the rear
corner of the property to approximately the location of an existing brick wall in the
park; from that point to the corner of the property closest to S. Witchduck Road,
additional evergreen plantings were to be added to screen the site from the park.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. Two letters of opposition and one letter of
support were received for the request.
Recommendation:
On January 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 10 to 0 with one abstention.
1. The Bulk Storage Yard shall be screened with a minimum six-foot tall privacy
fence and landscape plantings that are in substantial conformance to the
concept landscaping plan entitled “Site Landscape Plan” and dated November
22, 2023. This is a deviation to Section 228(a) of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Food trucks and trailers shall only be stored in the spaces as identified on the
concept plan “Site Landscape Plan” and dated November 22, 2023.
3. Food trucks and trailers shall only be in the loading zone when actively loading
or unloading a vehicle. This area shall not be used for long-term parking or
storage.
4. No more than 20 food trucks or trailers shall be permitted on site at any one
time (e.g., no more than 20 food trucks or trailers shall be on site total between
the loading zone and the storage spaces).
5. Total storage may not exceed 20 food trucks or trailers.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: PLA - The Lab Commercial Kitchen (COMBINED) (3705 : THE LAB COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, LLC [Applicant] BONNEY BROTHERS
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard to allow the storage of food trucks and
trailers in the parking lot of this 33,044 square-foot parcel zoned B-2 Community Business District. This application
was submitted in response to a Notice of Violation sent to the applicant on July 30, 2023, that stated storage of food
trucks and trailers requires a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard. The parcel is located in the Historic
Kempsville District Overlay.
• Lab Commercial Kitchen operates as a commercial kitchen, a standalone food preparation and storage facility.
Independent food truck operators use the commercial kitchen to complete food prep and to store perishable items.
• Since Lab Commercial Kitchen has been operating in this location, it began to lease parking spaces to food truck
vendors to allow them to store their food truck/trailers on site. Many food truck vendors who complete prep work
at Lab Commercial Kitchen are unaffiliated with stand-alone restaurants or other eateries and have no other place to
store their trucks/trailers. City regulations prohibit parking of food trucks or trailers in residentially-zoned districts.
Parking spaces at Lab Commercial Kitchen has made it possible for these independent operators to store their
vehicles in a commercially-zoned location.
• The applicant is requesting to store up to 20 food trucks or trailers on site:
o Six trucks and trailers to be stacked along the rear drive aisle adjacent to the northeast property line;
o Two trucks or trailers to be located parallel to the building: one along the rear elevation and one along the
south elevation;
o Eight trucks or trailers to be parked in angled spaces along the south side of the building; and
o Four trucks or trailers to be parked in spaces perpendicular to Home Center Lane.
Nine parking spaces located on the north side of the building will be used as a loading zone for food trucks and
trailers. The remaining 16 parking spaces on site will be used for parking of passenger vehicles.
• Section 203(a)(35) of the Zoning Ordinance stipulates that uses permitted pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit shall
comply with off-street parking requirements specified in that permit. There are no specific requirements for Bulk
Storage Yards or for Commercial Kitchens.
• There are four existing exterior power points on the building that the applicant intends to make available to food
trucks or trailers at Space 19 and Space 20, as well as the loading zone. Additionally, the applicant will reuse two
former drive-thru signs as external power points to provide power to a few vehicles using Spaces 1 through 4 and
Spaces 5 through 9.
• Section 228(a) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that Bulk Storage Yards be fully enclosed with a minimum six-foot
opaque wall or fence in combination with Category VI landscape plantings. The applicant is requesting a deviation to
this requirement to install a six-foot tall privacy fence along the northwest and northeast property lines and to
install smaller scale plants between the fence and Patriot Park to the northeast. The applicant’s request for a
deviation to the landscape screening requirements is predicated on the amount and location of existing paving,
entrance points to the property, and the need to maintain existing drive aisles to provide adequate turn radii for
food trucks and trailers.
• Dumpsters are required to be enclosed with a solid, minimum six-foot tall privacy fence and to be screened with
landscaping on three sides. A six-foot tall vinyl fence is shown on the concept landscape plan submitted by the

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard to store food trucks and trailers is
acceptable. This property is located in the Historic Kempsville area, a Suburban Focus Area identified in the
Comprehensive Plan, and is within the bounds of the Historic Kempsville Overlay District. This area is notable as an early
crossroad community and long range planning goals include development of a mixed-use, medium-density area that
emphasizes residential development and experiences. While there have been several petitions to rezone properties here
B-4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use District, this property is one of a few in the heart of Kempsville that retains B-2
Community Business zoning. Bulk Storage Yards are conditional uses in B-2 Community Business; they are not permitted
in B-4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use. It is Staff’s opinion that the uniqueness of this specific Bulk Storage Yard and
the business it supports are compatible with Historic Kempsville. This parcel falls within the area recommended for
commercial use and supports many small, local businesses. It is a viable reuse of a parcel originally developed as a drive-
thru restaurant.
The local food truck industry has grown in recent years, primarily with independent operators. For food truck or food
trailer operators who are unaffiliated with a brick-and-mortar restaurant, it is challenging to find locations to park/store
their vehicles and to have access to commercial kitchen spaces. The applicant provides both these opportunities and is
an incubator for the local food scene. By prepping food and storing vehicles here, it is easier for operators to comply
with local food and health requirements.
The requested deviations to the screening requirements for this property are also, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. Most of
the site is currently impervious surface, either as part of the parking lot, the walkway around the building, or the
building itself. This limits where screening and landscaping elements can be installed without substantial land
disturbance. The parcel is set back from the primary corridor of S. Witchduck Road and is accessed by means of a
secondary road. This distance softens the visual impact of this and adjacent properties from this primary corridor in
Historic Kempsville. The property is immediately adjacent to Patriot’s Park, a City-owned park on the corner of S.
Witchduck Road and Office Square Lane. To prevent visitors to the park from crossing over into the storage yard or
cutting through the existing mature landscaping along the property line, the applicant, at Staff’s recommendation, is

proposing to extend a privacy fence the length of this property line. Plants installed by the applicant in addition to the
plants in the park will soften and screen the fence.

Parking requirements for this use are controlled by Section 203(a)(35)—which states that the amount of parking shall be
as set forth in the relevant Conditional Use Permit—as Section 228 has no parking requirements and Section 203(a) has
no specific standard for the use of the site as a commercial kitchen for food trucks and trailers. In Staff’s opinion, this
use, including the storage of the food trucks and trailers, is very similar to food and beverage manufacturing uses, which
are, per Section 203(a)(29), required to provide one parking space per every 250 square feet of floor area. The building
on site is approximately 2,600 square feet and would require 10 parking spaces. As the applicant is reserving 16 spaces
for customer parking, will have 20 dedicated spaces for food trucks and trailers, and will have an additional nine spaces
in the designated loading zone, Staff believes sufficient parking will be met on site with the current conditions. Staff is
recommending Condition 7 to address this requirement.
The applicant presented their request to the Historic Kempsville Citizen Advisory Committee at its November 27, 2023
meeting. While there were comments shared with the applicant regarding preferred screening options (i.e., only using
landscaping along the property line with Patriot’s Park rather than including the fence and the landscaping), there was
general support for the application. Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the following conditions
listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The Bulk Storage Yard shall be screened with a minimum six-foot tall privacy fence and landscape plantings that are
in substantial conformance to the concept landscaping plan entitled “Site Landscape Plan” and dated November 22,
2023. This is a deviation to Section 228(a) of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Food trucks and trailers shall only be stored in the spaces as identified on the concept plan “Site Landscape Plan”
and dated November 22, 2023.
3. Food trucks and trailers shall only be in the loading zone when actively loading or unloading a vehicle. This area shall
not be used for long-term parking or storage.
4. No more than 20 food trucks or trailers shall be permitted on site at any one time (e.g., no more than 20 food trucks
or trailers shall be on site total between the loading zone and the storage spaces).
5. Total storage may not exceed 20 food trucks or trailers.
6. The food truck/trailer parking stalls as shown on the landscaping plan entitled “Site Landscape Plan” and dated
November 22, 2023 shall be striped.
7. A minimum of 16 spaces shall be provided for customer parking with an additional nine spaces available in the
loading area as shown on the landscaping plan entitled “Site Landscape Plan” and dated November 22, 2023.
8. No food truck or trailer build outs, engine repair, body work, automobile repair activities, or other substantial
alteration or repair shall be conducted on site, to include removal and installation of appliances. This condition shall
not be construed to prohibit light maintenance such bulb repair or replacement, cleaning, and similar light work.
9. Generators shall not be run between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
10. All exterior power points on the property shall be covered, grounded, and provided in such a way that is safe for all

Agenda Item # 8
Lab Commercial Kitchen, LLC
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Madam Clerk: Agenda item number eight, Lab Commercial Kitchen, LLC is a conditional
use permit for a bulk storage yard for 405 South Witchduck Road.
Mr. Alcaraz: Please come forward. So, if you can just state your name and then tell us
what you're asking for? So, we can.
Mr. Mariano: Good afternoon. My name is Gilbert Mariano. I'm here on behalf of the Lab
Commercial Kitchen and what was the other question? I'm sorry.
Mr. Alcaraz: Anything you'd like to tell us.
Mr. Mariano: So, about three years ago, me and my brother, we created the Lab
Commercial Kitchen for us to use, not knowing that it would be this big as it
is now. We currently have 40 people that work out of our—40 small
businesses—that work out of our kitchen, 20 of them are the food trucks. A
lot of them are women owned, minority owned, and veteran owned, and we
are here just trying to get this permit to allow these food trucks to stay there
and move forward. We're here just to see what you guys need us to do and
to get approved to put up either a fence or the shrubbery that you guys
need, but yeah, we're here on behalf of all the businesses that we have at
our kitchen to kind of get this to move forward and pretty much set
everything straight and get everything that needs to be done.
Mr. Alcaraz: What we've asked is Mr. Anderson move forward with you on talking about
what might need be needed? So, go ahead.
Mr. Anderson: Okay. First of all, I'll just, I'll read. Yeah, the background a little bit first.
As you said, this applicant at 405 South Witchduck Road is asking for a
conditional use permit for a bulk storage yard to allow storage of food trucks
and trailers in the parking lot, of a 33,000 square-foot parcel zoned B-2
Community Business District. This application was submitted in response
to a notice of violation sent to the applicant on July 30, 2023 that stated
storage of food trucks and trailers requires a conditional use permit for a
bulk storage yard. The parcel is located in the Historic Kempsville District
Overlay. So, you know, you guys have come to the meeting of the
Packet Pg. 256
6.M.a
Attachment: PLA - The Lab Commercial Kitchen (COMBINED) (3705 : THE LAB COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, LLC [Applicant] BONNEY BROTHERS
Kempsville Historic CAC and we've discussed and what we, commissioners
and with CAC's approval, I'll read to you what we have wanting to propose
on the conditions with your approval. So, I'm recommending approval of
this item with the modifications to Condition 1 to propose evergreens to start
approximately at the existing brick wall towards Witchduck Road instead of
a fence.
Mr. Mariano: Okay.
Mr. Anderson: The proposed fence six-foot tall fence will stay in the conditions on the
back of the property with a return to the start of the brick wall, approximately
30 feet, just depends on where that location is.
Mr. Mariano: Okay, absolutely.
Mr. Anderson: That should do everything that we have looked at and we want to, you
know, work with you guys on what type of evergreens and with Parks and
Recreation on what works for that coverage.
Mr. Mariano: Okay. We appreciate that.
Mr. Anderson: We want to make sure that you guys were okay with that change.
Mr. Mariano: Whatever you need, we'll do it just to move forward. Again, a lot of people
are counting on us to make sure that we keep this place open. So again,
whatever you need, we will do. We just need the proper guidelines or the
standards on what you guys would like.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, you've accepted his recommendations. Are there any other comments?
None. Mr. Anderson, if I can get a motion with what you just stated, we'll get
a second and we'll move forward.
Mr. Plumlee: If I could interrupt you, Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to, the only question I
had remaining was about the parking for the trucks, the trailers and then
you need a remaining nine spaces for that loading area and then you have
passenger vehicles. How many total parking spaces?
Mr. Mariano: So for the food trucks, we have 20 and then in the front, I believe we have
the—I think its 10 and the loading zone is only when they park their food
truck or their trailer. It's not—
Packet Pg. 257
6.M.a
Attachment: PLA - The Lab Commercial Kitchen (COMBINED) (3705 : THE LAB COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, LLC [Applicant] BONNEY BROTHERS
Mr. Plumlee: So, that's like a temporary use of that nine spaces. Okay, because I didn't
believe that there were that many spaces. I just want to clarify that point.
Okay. Alright. Thank you, that's it.
Mr. Anderson: Should we explain the conditions about, you know, from the complaint of
what the Lab Kitchen is having to abide by other than, you know, with the
other conditions because we didn't—I mean conditions I didn't read. It was
the other conditions.
Mr. Alcaraz: The conditions are stated. We're going to keep those.
Mr. Anderson: Okay. Right.
Mr. Alcaraz: You just state the changes, your modification.
Mr. Anderson: My modification. Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: We need to hear. Yeah.
Mr. Anderson: So, it's in addition to all the conditions which they're accepting, and you
acknowledge acceptance of all these conditions.
Mr. Alcaraz: So I have a motion?
Mr. Anderson: I move to approve a recommended approval of this item with modifications
for the fence to be changed on the park side of the property to evergreens
from the brick wall to Witchduck Road.
Mr. Mariano: Yeah, that's all right.
Mr. Alcaraz: I got a motion by Mr. Anderson.
Madam Clerk: One second. Did you need to clarify the height of the fence?
Mr. Anderson: No, because we're not changing it.
Madam Clerk: Okay, so we're not going to eight?
Mr. Anderson: We are not.

To: Elizabeth Nowak
We are writing this letter in reference to the Conditional Use Permit Public Hearing scheduled on
Wednesday, January 10, 2024 for Lab Commercial Kitchen, LLC to consider their application to
use the property as a (Bulk Storage Yard). As we occupy the adjacent/surrounding Office Park
consisting of eight office buildings, we are very strongly against approval of this request. This
was confirmed during our annual meeting held Dec 13th, 2023 and a poll conducted after receipt
of the public notice. Since Lab Commercial Kitchen’s occupation of the property at 405 South
Witchduck Road, we have been plagued with the unsightly and noisy renovation and storage of
numerous dilapidated food trucks and trailers. Our landscapers have had to move old vehicle
bumpers and other parts off our property on several occasions to even mow the grass and
maintain the profession appearance of our properties. Additionally, we have received numerous
complaints from our tenants and employees about such activities as grinding, sanding,
hammering, loud music, etc. in the course of their activities. Approval for “bulk storage” can
only contribute further to the eyesore and activity inconsistent with a Professional Office Park
environment. Lastly, after the millions of tax dollars spent beautifying the “Witchduck corridor”,
including a park area established adjacent to the requestor, we are surprised this would even be
under consideration. We strongly urge denial of this request as it would unfavorably affect our
businesses, property value and the surrounding community as it is totally inconsistent with the
current environment and professional decorum we strive to project and maintain.
Sincerely,
Richard B. Drehoff

To whom it may concern,
I wish I was able to speak in person today, however I was not able to get away!
I own Century 21 Top Producers next door to the subject property and as much as I want them to be successful they are costing me clients. I just
lost a $2,800.00 a month tenant because we "no longer represent the look" they need to grow. I have simply listed the reasoning why the city
decided to save the heart of Virginia Beach and I want you to understand, we are the heart that gives this area life.
The battle of Kemps's Landing is located on these grounds along with a hidden tunnel that we used to hide slaves so we may help them to
freedom. I will be placing a memorial on my building this year for Robert C. Burke, a Marine Medal of Honor recipient. Robert was my uncle
and please feel free to look him up and see what he did to save his fellow Marines. I am a retired Marine and simply put, this place is on holy,
sacred ground and we need to HONOR this and not turn it into a junkyard!
I was told a possible fence may be required, a 6 foot fence will not hide a 12 foot tall truck and honestly it will look even worse, The tenants
rented a building that they knew did not allow the storage of these vehicles and they made a business decision to break the rules with no regard
to us! He may have modified his business plan however that does not mean we have to pay the price for it. Furthermore, the taxes the citizens of
Virginia Beach paid to save this area and create a park next to us will be just another waste of our resources and a black eye on the city! Please
do the right thing and deny the change and protect what we have started, making Kempsville relevant AGAIN!
Thank you,

The City Council hereby finds that the Historic Kempsville Area is not only one of the primary crossroads within the City, but is also the location
of the third courthouse in Princess Anne County, the site of a Revolutionary War skirmish, an early cultural and economic hub within the City,
and is surrounded by many stable and attractive residential communities. As such, its appearance and revitalization is important to
the physical and economic vitality of the City. The purpose of the Historic Kempsville Area Overlay District is to enhance the appearance of
the area encompassed by the District and to help restore its vitality as an important and historic location within the City.
Historic Kempsville Area
The City Council-adopted Historic Kempsville Area Master Plan outlines land use, environmental, transportation and
design improvements needed to revitalize the area. It also provides guidance to leverage public investments in order
to create a high quality ‘village’ center.
Key Recommendations
Northeast Quadrant
Implement the colonial village core to include medical services, senior housing, and public safety and support
activities.
The future use of Pleasant Hall, a house built in 1769, should respect its historic heritage, as should the form
and function of other uses within this quadrant.

permitting. A Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued until the requirements of
the Health Department are met.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.

On January 10, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend

Evaluation & Recommendation
The request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Tattoo Parlor, specifically for the application of permanent makeup, in
Staff’s opinion, is acceptable given that the use is compatible with the other existing commercial businesses located in
the vicinity. The application of permanent makeup within an existing commercial space is not expected to negatively
impact other uses within the shopping center or the vicinity.
Prior to commencing operations on the site, the applicant must obtain a business license and the Health Department
must verify that the business meets all the requirements of Chapter 23-51 of the City Code. Chapter 23-51 details the
standards for disclosure, hygiene, licenses, waivers, proof of age, recordkeeping, inspections, cleanliness, vaccinations,
and permitting applicable to such establishments. A Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued until the requirements
are satisfied and Health Department approval is obtained. It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed tattoo parlor will not
result in a significant increase in traffic in this established strip shopping center as the use is consistent with typical strip
shopping center uses.
For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of this application, subject to the conditions listed below

OWNERS] Conditional Use Permit (Residential Kennel) for the property
located at 5205 Shore Drive (GPIN 1469880062). COUNCIL DISTRICT 9
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024 (Deferred January 16, 2024)
Background:
At the January 16, 2024 City Council public hearing, City Council granted the
applicant’s request to defer this item until the February 20th City Council meeting
in order for the applicant to continue discussion with interested stakeholders on
the proposal.
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a residential kennel to
house their five personal dogs within a 1,700 square foot residence. The Zoning
Ordinance allows up to four personal dogs on a property without a Conditional Use
Permit for a Residential Kennel.
Considerations:
All dogs will be kept inside the single-family dwelling, with only four dogs being
allowed outside in the enclosed backyard at a time. No outdoor kennels are
proposed and all dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, and registered according to
the applicant. Since the applicant does not yet reside at the residence, Animal
Control has not conducted a site visit.
Three letters of support were received by Staff. There was one speaker in
attendance at the Planning Commission public hearing who voiced concerns
regarding a kennel within the neighborhood and the noise generated by five dogs
within one home. In response, the Planning Commission modified Condition 1 to
state that the applicant may have five dogs but once a dog is permanently removed
from the home, it cannot be replaced with another dog. The applicant is aware of
the amended condition and was agreeable to the change during the December
13th Planning Commission Hearing.
This project was originally presented at the January 16th City Council Hearing.
During that time, the applicant requested that the modification to Condition 1 as
recommended by Planning Commission be removed and she be allowed to keep
up to 5 dogs on the site permanently. The applicant has engaged with adjacent
neighbors concerning her request to keep up to 5 dogs on site permanently and
has received 22 signatures from adjacent neighbors and others in the community

supporting her request. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as
Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached staff report.
Recommendation:
On December 13, 2023, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 9 to 0.
1. The Conditional Use Permit shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) adult dogs.
At any such time if any of the dogs covered by this Conditional Use Permit are
removed from this property for any reason, no other dog(s) of any kind, gender,
age, or breed shall be permitted on the property to replace the dog(s). The
applicant may keep up to four dogs as allowed by the Zoning Ordinance without
a Conditional Use Permit.
2. All animal waste from the dogs shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful
manner on a weekly basis.
3. The applicant shall ensure that all dogs are properly vaccinated and immunized
and are licensed through the City of Virginia Beach.
4. There shall be no breeding of dogs on the site.
5. Day Care, Training, and Boarding services for monetary consumption are not
permitted on this site.
6. No more than four (4) dogs shall be permitted to be outdoors at one time and
the dogs shall remain under the supervision of the caretaker at all times and
shall not be a nuisance to any other property owners or residents.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: PLA - Alliena Westleigh (COMBINED) (3697 : ALLIENA WESTLEIGH [Applicant] SAW CONTRACTING, INC [PROPERTY OWNERS]
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Kennel to house five personal dogs within the
1,700 square-foot residence in the Lake Shores neighborhood. The Zoning Ordinance allows up to four personal
dogs on a property without a Conditional Use Permit.
• The dogs will be kept indoors except for periods of relief and play in the fenced in backyard or daily walks. The
applicant’s practice of permitting only four dogs outside at any given time and under supervision will continue
should this proposal be approved.
• No breeding of animals is proposed. There is no outdoor kennel or structure proposed with this request.
• All animals are vaccinated, microchipped, and registered, per the applicant.

REZ – Rezoning MDP – Modification of Proffers FVR – Floodplain Variance LUP – Land Use Plan
CRZ – Conditional Rezoning NON – Nonconforming Use ALT – Alternative Compliance STR – Short Term Rental
Evaluation & Recommendation
This request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Kennel is acceptable. The property is located within the
Suburban Area and the proposed use is considered an appropriate activity for this area. Section 223 of the Zoning
Ordinance requires that kennel structures be at least 100 feet from the property line of any adjacent lot, except where
animals are kept in soundproof, air‐conditioned buildings. There are no outdoor kennels proposed on this site, as all
dogs living on the property will be housed inside the single‐family dwelling.
The applicant has installed a six-foot tall wooden privacy fence on the southern portion of the property and a four-foot-
tall privacy fence on the northern portion of the property to fully enclose the backyard. As previously indicated, only
four dogs will be allowed outside at any given time to mitigate noise. Condition 6 is recommended to address this.
Staff is recommending a condition to limit the number of dogs allowed on the property at any time to no more than 5
dogs as that is the number requested by the applicant. Staff also believes this will help reduce impacts to the adjacent
residents. The applicant has also hired a company to treat the yard on a weekly basis to thoroughly remove waste. In
addition, the applicant has hired pest services to come out to spray the yard and home for fleas and ticks.

planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining “great neighborhoods” which are
sustainable, stable, and supported by complementary non-residential uses. 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.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. There are no known cultural or natural resources.

Agenda Item # 6
Alliena Westleigh
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Madam Clerk: Agenda item number six is Alliena Westleigh, a conditional use permit
request for a residential kennel at 5205 Shore Drive in District 9.
Mr. Alcaraz: Hello, if you can just come forward, state your name.
Ms. Westleigh: My name is Alliena Westleigh.
Mr. Alcaraz: Just give us a summary of what you're trying to do here.
Ms. Westleigh: Yes, so for this 5205 Shore Drive address, my plan and hope is to get my
conditional use permit approved so that I can have my five personal pets on
the premises with me and be in the legal confines of the city, which I know
this limit is four for a property without the conditional use permit. I do know
that having already applied to where I'm currently residing now, and that's
the reason why I wanted to put the application in before I move my family
into the premises.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any questions for the applicant from the commissioners? Yes, Ms. Hippen.
Ms. Hippen: Just out of curiosity, you've got five dogs. I have one dog and he's too
attention seeking for me to have another. So, I say kudos to you for having
that many, but how big are these dogs?
Ms. Westleigh: So, my largest dog is 80 pounds, and he is full grown, that is the largest
dog that I have. I have three females that range between 40 and 53 pounds
and then I have the smallest being 18 pounds. He's a multi poo, that's my
mom's companion dog. It's because of her that I need this permit, because
she's moving with me, and her dog will be coming with her as well. All of
them, like I said, they are personal dogs. Their ages range from 2 to 11.
Ms. Hippen: Okay and so you're not like fostering anymore?
Ms. Westleigh: No. So, with the property, and I know that's not in question today, with
the 4512 property that I petitioned, I put the application in 2021, and it was
Packet Pg. 306
6.M.a
Attachment: PLA - Alliena Westleigh (COMBINED) (3697 : ALLIENA WESTLEIGH [Applicant] SAW CONTRACTING, INC [PROPERTY OWNERS]
voted on in 2022. It was approved in February that year. That was when I
was doing rescue work. So, I had my five personal dogs, and then I had
four additional rescue dogs. They were not my personal dogs. They were
being adopted out. They needed rehabilitation first. I put them through
training. I am a certified trainer. I've gone to college for it. So, I was working
with them and their behavioral issues that either could get corrected and
they found new homes or was not corrected, and unfortunately, due to
medical issues, they did have to be euthanized, which happened to one of
the dogs. This year, I was found in violation of that conditional use permit.
I was found in violation because my co-founder of the rescue that we started
decided it was too much emotionally. She left. We lost our foster. So, the
two dogs were placed in my home at the same time that I was going through
legal issues with my father, who is the co-owner of the property that I'm at
right now. Him and my mother are divorcing. So, it created a whole another
scenario to where animal control was called, CPS was called, APS was
called, the police department was called. It was a lot and all of it happened
at the same time at the end of August, the beginning of September. Those
two dogs have been transferred to another rescue. My rescue has been
closed. I will not be doing rescue work. My business, which is separate,
which is why the original conditional use permit that went in said 20 dogs
was because I already had it created for when I find a location that's either
an agricultural or in the B district so that I can do my training on site
somewhere, that was already created. So, I just submitted that in because
I wanted to be on the agenda so that I could be heard so that by time I
moved into this property in January, my conditional use was approved, and
I was already had everything I needed in place for that. I did put out a polling
in the neighborhood asking, what their thoughts were if I did boarding or if I
did training from my home and just changed my business license to include
residential premises versus a facility because currently my business license
covers me going to clients to train their dogs at their homes. I don't do any
work at my personal home. The community was largely against it. So,
when Miss Michaela reached out to me and said that their committee would
say no for the commercial, but I could go forward with the residential, that's
what I wanted anyways. So, I'm just like let's, yes, I want my five dogs,
please. Let's move forward with the residential. I didn't want to postpone
that any further. Because like I said, I'm hoping to have the handicapped
renovations to this property done this month so that we can move in next
month after the next hearing.
Ms. Hippen: Thank you for clarifying that for us. I appreciate it.

Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions? Ms. Byler?
Ms. Byler: So, I understand that you were found in violation earlier this year. How
many dogs do you have right now?
Ms. Westleigh: I have five dogs. At the time of the violation, I apologize for interrupting,
at the time of the violation, the original nine that I requested in 2021
approved in 2022. I still had six of those dogs on the day of the violation. I
had eight dogs on the premises. The two dogs that were not supposed to
be there were fostered out the very next week. It took me that long to find
a foster and the sixth dog was adopted out three months ago. So, my last
information to the tag, the animal tags licensing department does have just
the five dogs that I'm requesting now.
Ms. Byler: So, I'm interested to know because you told me the age of your dog’s goes
up to age 11 and you need this conditional use permit in order to have your
mother's dog in your four. So, if you were to lose one of those five dogs,
then you would be in compliance without the conditional use permit, would
you be willing to give up the conditional use permit at that time and to only
have it as long as you have the current five dogs, but then not add it? I don't
even know if that could be done, but if it could be done, would you be willing
to do that?
Ms. Westleigh: If that is an imposed upon condition on me, then I will say yes, because I
want to have my five dogs. However, that was the same condition on the
other property, whereas the dogs left, the dog cannot be replaced, cannot
be added in again, and at the time, currently where I'm at in my life right
now, I'm not doing rescue work, I'm not doing foster work. I don't want to
add another dog. I can't say I'll have that same feeling when Lucy or Pickles
or Little Mama Mars or Bunny pass away that I won't want to replace that
dog. Five's a number that I enjoy. They're just because of the, the love that
they give me and that I can provide for them.
Mr. Byler: Well, I hear that, and I understand that you're attached to these because
they're your personal ones, but I also feel for your neighbors who have
vocalized concern and I'd like to see you in compliance with the neighbors
and all the rules that they have to comply with, which is four dogs. So, I'd
like to see you at four and I wonder if you'd be willing to say when you lose

Attachment: PLA - Alliena Westleigh (COMBINED) (3697 : ALLIENA WESTLEIGH [Applicant] SAW CONTRACTING, INC [PROPERTY OWNERS]
one of these five, then you would not get a fifth one and you would stay four
under?
Ms. Westleigh: If that makes the Council members happy, then yes, I will say that.
Ms. Byler: Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions? Mr. Plumlee?
Mr. Plumlee: Very quickly, are you -- you are not in any sort of dog breeding business or
anything of that nature?
Ms. Westleigh: No, sir. All of my dogs are rescues. All of my dogs are spayed and
neutered. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations. I actually had a
letter from my vet submitted as well, showing the care of my animals.
Mr. Plumlee: Thank you. Are you part of any rescue organization?
Ms. Westleigh: Currently no, I am a desensitization trainer for several rescues. However,
that is not onsite training. I go to their facilities where they're boarding their
dogs and I work with them at their locations.
Mr. Plumlee: But you're not recognized as taking dogs from any facilities in the area as
part of their mission?
Ms. Westleigh: No, sir.
Mr. Plumlee: Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions? Ms. Wilson, what Ms. Byler's asking, how do you
word that on a -- is it timed use permit?
Ms. Wilson: I have a question, I read that there's a condition on many of the residential
kennels. So why am I able to ask, answer how exactly we do that?
Mr. Coston: We can use the similar conditions that we applied to her previous property
that at the time of passing up one of her dogs that she cannot replace them
to no more than four?
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Packet Pg. 309
6.M.a
Attachment: PLA - Alliena Westleigh (COMBINED) (3697 : ALLIENA WESTLEIGH [Applicant] SAW CONTRACTING, INC [PROPERTY OWNERS]
Mr. Coston: So, we can modify that condition.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, are there any speakers? There are, okay, just have a seat and
we'll call you back up for rebuttal.
Madam Clerk: Calling Deborah Parker. She's via WebEx.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Ms. Parker, you there.
Ms. Parker: Good afternoon members of the City Council. I'm opposed to her having
this kennel in the lake shores community. We bought in this residential
community like others in the neighborhood. We didn't buy in a business
commercial district. You know, everyone buys their dream home, and they
don't want to have a business, i.e., a kennel across the street. There were
sections of the neighborhood that she could have bought in that are
designated for this type of, such as for different usages, manufacturing you
have in one section of the city, retail office buildings, residential and
commercial properties are not combined and that's for a reason. The noise
and the traffic versus the peace and the quiet we bought in the community
for the peace and quiet. So, we're concerned about the noise. Commercial
real estate is best located where there's high density traffic. So residential
real estate is zoned away from the dangerous traffic and noise where
people typically desire the quiet use of their property and to allow their
children to play in the yard. We don't want the noise, the smell, et cetera
from this property owner. I have questions as far as she said, she has four
dogs. Are they spayed? Are they neutered? What is going to stop one of
them from getting the females to get pregnant, which is going to add another
dog on the property? So, what will she do at that point in time if that occurs?
Also are you going to inspect the property? Is it going to be inspected to
us, you know, on how many dogs she has? So those are my questions. I'm
just concerned really about the upkeep. There is a lot of upkeep that goes
along with having five animals even four, the property, you know, there's
shots, there's the pickup, the feces, there's the barking, there's things like
that that go with having all these animals and I know the city of Virginia
Beach on section 23-63 does have an excessive noise or sound as a
serious hazard to the public health welfare and peace and safety and the
quality of life. So, we are concerned about that. There are sound levels too
that go along with this as far as having these animals, there's a nighttime
sound level and a daytime, and that is section 23.69.

Mr. Alcaraz: Alright Ms. Parker, thank you. I got to ask, you've extended your time here,
and I just need to ask any commissioners that have any questions for you.
None. Where -- what is your address? Where do you live close by? Ms.
Parker? Did you cut her off? Okay.
Madam Clerk: She's at 5205 Turn Drive, Turn Road. You see Turn Road at the bottom
there. She's just on the other side of that.
Mr. Alcaraz: She's adjacent?
Madam Clerk: No, she's in the next block, so on the south side of Turn Drive.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Any other speakers? All right, if you can come forward again, if you
could answer some of those or rebut what she said, and then I have some
commissioners might ask some more questions for you.
Ms. Westleigh: I think the easiest one to address is all of my dogs are spayed and
neutered. There's no chance of any of them getting pregnant or procreating.
The next question that I think I heard she mentioned was the -- the kennel
for a commercial area. I want a residential because I'm living there. My
family is living there. My mother, my son, my husband, myself will be
residing on the property. For the noise levels, I'm very well with the noise
levels and ordinances are in Virginia Beach and because of that, because
of when I went through it before, I wanted to ensure that my neighbors were
happy. I actually do have decibel meters that I monitor regularly to make
sure that I'm well within the ordinance and that I'm not exceeding it. Another
thing that I do and that I will continue to do is when my dogs are in the yard,
unless I have to quickly run to the restroom, they're going to have
supervision while they're in the yard, that's just for their safety as well as my
neighbor's. I know that I did speak to the individual that's right next to me
on Shore Drive. Their family stated that they were okay with this, and they
didn't have a problem with it. They've met a couple of my dogs actually and
then; I believe that the individual that lives right behind me that would be on
Jack Frost in the corner of Turn Road submitted an email stating that he
was also for this. I did try and reach the neighbors that I guess would be
touching the back corner of the property which would be on Turn. Every
time I've gone by there, they're not there. However, I'm more than happy to
give my numbers to the neighbors. If there's any an issue with any of my
dogs, I'd like to answer it immediately when it happens, and I don't feel that
Packet Pg. 311
6.M.a
Attachment: PLA - Alliena Westleigh (COMBINED) (3697 : ALLIENA WESTLEIGH [Applicant] SAW CONTRACTING, INC [PROPERTY OWNERS]
sound issue is going to be a problem considering that I monitor my dogs
very regularly to make sure that they're not barking in a nuisance.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Any questions, Mr. Plumlee?
Mr. Plumlee: Just a couple of follow up. So, you indicated your mother lives with you and
that's why you have this additional dog?
Ms. Westleigh: Yes. Pickles is her dog.
Mr. Plumlee: Okay. So, if your mother moves away, would you also give up the condition?
In other words--
Ms. Westleigh: Then the fifth dog would be gone, so I'd be down to four.
Mr. Plumlee: If the fifth dog's gone, so that could be part of, in other words, we could tie
that specifically, you know, circumstances arise which may make that
difficult if your mom can't move to a place that'll accept a dog or something
like that, but if you accept that as a condition, I think that would help with
the neighbor's concerns also.
Ms. Westleigh: That if my mother moves, or if she moves.
Mr. Plumlee: If she moves, then the dog goes with.
Ms. Westleigh: So, I don't think I would agree with that condition considering that if my
mom does move, she's probably going into a hospice home and
unfortunately, I do believe that her dog is going to outlive her and I don't
think at that point I would be able to separate from Pickles due to the
emotional attachment that he had with my mother.
Mr. Plumlee: But your representation is she lives with you today and that's why you have
the dog?
Ms. Westleigh: Yes, she's handicapped. She is under full time care. So that's why I said
if she left the property, I don't think that she would be able to take the dog
with her. The dog is hers, so I apologize if there is confusion. I maintain
the veterinary bills for the dog. I maintain the shots for the dogs, the care
for the dog, but it's her companion. I didn't mean to confuse that.

Subject: Letter of Support for Alliena Westleigh’s Kennel Application
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my strong support for her application for a kennel
license.
Alliena has demonstrated a deep passion for animals, particularly dogs.
Furthermore, she is highly organized, responsible, and attentive to detail, which are crucial qualities for the safe and
efficient operation of a kennel. She has also shown great care and consideration for neighbors and the local
community, actively addressing any concerns and maintaining open lines of communication.
I have no doubt that she will manage the kennel with the highest standards of care, safety, and professionalism.
Granting them this opportunity would not only benefit the dogs because we don’t need anymore homeless dogs but
it is promoting responsible pet ownership and providing a loving environment for these animals.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse Alliena’s application for a kennel license and believe she is exceptionally
qualified for this role.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Nichole Hatch
