AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Establishing a Stormwater Management Implementation Advisory
Group
MEETING DATE: March 5, 2024
Background: The City Council created the Process Improvement Steering
Committee (“PISC”) to provide recommendations to improve various aspects of the City’s
government. The Council referred the “Resolution to Adopt and Amend the Virginia Beach
Comprehensive Plan 2016 regarding the Stormwater Impacts for Discretionary Land Use
Applications” to the PISC, and the PISC recommended the establishment of a “work
group to provide recommendations regarding how best to balance the need for
stormwater management and flooding protection with development and redevelopment
opportunities.” This resolution establishes the recommended work group.
Considerations: The Stormwater Management Advisory Group (“Advisory
Group”) will serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council and consist of no more than
19 voting members, including residents, environmental professionals, and industry
stakeholders. In addition to the voting members, the Advisory Group will include a
Planning Commission liaison and two high school students as nonvoting members.
The duties of the Advisory Group will be to: further review the topic of stormwater
management and its impact and consequences on land use and redevelopment issues;
identify whether there are any opportunities, advantages, or disadvantages to
strengthening regulation alignment and specificity based on the City’s varied drainage
basin, and a property’s land use and zoning characteristics; formalize a cost-sharing
program relative to stormwater infrastructure and policy to include developing criteria for
cost-sharing eligibility; and determine whether there are any opportunities to
advance/incentivize Council-adopted policy and/or planning objectives, such as
affordable housing, the preservation and enhancement of our City's tree canopy and open
spaces, enhanced water quality, more sidewalks and paved paths, utilization of nature-
based stormwater management practices in addition to grey infrastructure solutions,
implementation of regional stormwater solutions, strategic and resilient approaches to
redevelopment, and other preferred land use approaches, through stormwater
management.
Public Information: This item will be advertised in the same manner as other
agenda items.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Provide Direction to the City Manager on the Use of Funds in
Capital Project #100629, “Sports Tourism Infrastructure,” and to Provide Direction to the
City Manager to Create Options for a Dedicated Funding Source for Arts and Culture
Using Existing Funding Dedications
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background: Capital Project #100629, “Sports Tourism Infrastructure,” uses
revenues from the Tourism Investment Program (TIP) Fund to support sports tourism
opportunities through the upgrade or renovation of existing facilities such as the Virginia
Beach SportsPlex, Princess Anne Athletic Complex, Hampton Roads Soccer Complex,
and Pickleball Virginia Beach. Project #100629 has funding currently appropriated at
$6,921,100, and the FY2024 Capital Improvement Program had planned for FY2025 to
provide an additional $12.6 million. On March 5, 2024, the City Council was provided two
recommendations for allocation of $18,500,000 in Project #100629. One approach would
fund the existing facilities based solely upon anticipated return on investment. The
second option provided some funding to all four facilities.
Separately, the City Council recognizes the residents and visitors of the City, in addition
to enjoying sports, appreciate arts and culture, which brings a vibrancy to life in the City.
To support the arts and culture community, the City should have dedicated funding that
nourishes and sustains arts and culture.
Considerations: The attached resolution provides two directions to the City
Manager. First, it directs the City Manager to pursue distribution of Capital Project
#100629 based on the second option. This option would provide the following:
1. Pickleball Virginia Beach - $2,101,000
2. VB SportsPlex and Field Hockey Training Center - $3,138,500
3. Princess Anne Athletic Complex - $3,259,500
4. Hampton Roads Soccer Complex - $10,000,000.
Second, it directs the City Manager to create options for establishing a dedicated funding
source for arts and culture from existing funding dedications, excluding the General Fund.
The City Manager is to provide these options to the City Council for its consideration
within 20 days of the adoption of this Resolution. The City Manager shall thereafter allot
time for the discussion of the dedicated funding options at a subsequent Informal or
Workshop Session.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: SUNSATIONS REALTY, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Special
Exception for Alternative Compliance (J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing for
Temporary Workers) for the property located at 2500 Atlantic Avenue (GPIN
24281001850000). COUNCIL DISTRICT 6
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Special Exception for Alternative Compliance for a
J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing facility as the use is not expressly listed in the use
table of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code (ORDFBC). The
applicant proposes to occupy the second floor of an existing building to create a
dormitory dwelling space which can accommodate up to 86 J-1 Visa workers. The
site is in the Resort Area and is located on the northwest corner of Atlantic Avenue
and 25th Street. The J-1 Visa workers are primarily employed by hotels and
restaurants in the Resort Area. While peak employment demand occurs during
the summer season, the applicant believes there would be year-round demand to
support the proposed use. The facility will only be used as a dormitory for J-1 Visa
applicants; no other individuals will reside on-site. The facility will be managed by
a 3rd party company, to include a 24/7 on-site manager to ensure the safety and
cleanliness of the dormitory.
This request was considered by the Joint Review Process Group (JRP) on
December 12, 2023, who found, based on criteria established for discretionary
proposals in Sub-Area 1, the proposed development is consistent with the
recommendations of Section 1804(c)(1) of the Ordinance.
Additionally, this request was presented to the Resort Advisory Commission (RAC)
and their subcommittees Planning/Design Review Committee (PDRC) and Resort
Investment Committee (RIC). On February 1, 2024, RAC voted to support the item
as their membership believes there is demand for this type of housing to support
the international students working in the local hospitality industry under the Federal
J-1 Visa program.
Considerations:
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. Although the proposed use of “J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing” is not
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
expressly listed within the Permitted Use Table, per Sec. 5.2 of the ORDFBC, Staff
believes that the use is compatible with the Oceanfront Resort as it provides much-
needed housing opportunities for J-1 Visa workers who support the operations of
the Resort Area year-round. Furthermore, providing a diverse housing stock, to
include J-1 Visa housing, was identified in the RASAP 2030. Additionally, this
location is optimal for dormitory housing as many of the J-1 Visa workers rely on
bike/pedestrian infrastructure, public transportation, and micro transit. The building
is located in the midst of the Resort Area and is in close proximity to the boardwalk
and public transportation, which will connect residents to employment
opportunities and other services in the area.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. Staff has received 2 letters of support for
the request and is unaware of any opposition.
Recommendation:
On February 14, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request, by a vote of 10 to 0 with 1 abstention, with a modification
to Condition 7 to allow the additional bike racks to be installed in the public right-
of-way.
1. The interior renovations for the J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing shall be in
substantial conformance to the submitted plan, entitled “25th Street SJ1
Student Housing”, prepared by T3 Architects, and dated October 19, 2023,
which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the
Department of Planning and Community Development. Any changes to the
plan required by the Building Code, Fire Marshal, or any other governing body
are acceptable to the extent that they do not result in a greater occupancy than
the 86 beds presented in the original plan.
2. The J-1 Visa Dormitory shall be limited to a maximum of 86 occupants. The
occupants of this dormitory must also be enrolled in the J-1 Visa Exchange
Visitor Program for the extent of time they are inhabiting the dormitory. The
dormitory may not be utilized for any other purpose than housing J-1 Visa
workers.
3. A lighting plan which indicates LED light fixtures on all exterior walls of the
structure must be approved prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for
the J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing use. These LED light fixtures must be always
maintained and provide illumination of the exterior of the structure, including all
entrances of the building, all fire exits on the building, and the alleyway (25th
½ Street).
4. A means of emergency access shall be provided to the Virginia Beach Police
Department for the J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing prior to the issuance of a

meet any access requirements as determined by the Police Crime Prevention
Office.
5. All entryways, lobbies, and fire exits to and from the J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing
shall be monitored by a functioning security camera system which the Virginia
Beach Police Department can access. A plan indicating the location of these
cameras shall be approved prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy
for the J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing Use.
6. A secure, lockable wardrobe, footlocker, or other administratively approved
container shall be provided per bed for the occupants of the J-1 Visa Dormitory
Housing.
7. A plan which provides bicycle parking for no less than 40 bikes, either in the
form of a bicycle rack(s) or other indoor, secured storage area, is required to
be approved prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the J-1
Visa Dormitory Housing use. This bicycle parking must may be provided within
the limits of private property and not or within the right-of-way.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code (ORDFBC) provides flexibility through the Special Exception of
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
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. Although
the proposed use of “J-1 Visa Dormitory Housing” is not expressly listed within the Permitted Use Table, per Sec. 5.2 of
the ORDFBC, Staff believes that the use is compatible with the Oceanfront Resort as it provides much-needed housing
opportunities for J-1 Visa workers who support the operations of the Resort Area year-round. Additionally, this location
is optimal for dormitory housing as many of the J-1 Visa workers rely on bike/pedestrian infrastructure, public
transportation, and micro transit. The building is located in the midst of the Resort Area and is in close proximity to the
boardwalk and public transportation, which will connect residents to employment opportunities and other services in
the area.
The Oceanfront Resort District, pursuant to Section 7.3.3, 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 meets each.
• Promotes modes of transportation other than the automobile, including walking, biking, and transit.
Staff Comments: The site is located at the northwest corner of 25th Street and Atlantic Avenue which is a central
location within the Resort Area. 25th Street is designated as “Beach” frontage type which is intended as a
frontage with high pedestrian activity directed downward to the beach, while Atlantic Avenue is designated as a
“Shopping” frontage type which features the most walkable places in the Resort Area, with a focus on
pedestrian movement and activity to and from a mix of retail, dining, and lodging uses. While there is a higher
volume of traffic on these streets, particularly Atlantic Avenue, the area still offers accommodations for
pedestrians. The proposed dormitory is in close proximity to many employment opportunities for the J-1Visa
Workers and is accessible by various modes of transportation, thus enabling the residents to walk, bike, or
utilize public transportation to get to their destinations. In these ways, the proposed dormitory use promotes
modes of transportation other than the automobile within the Resort Area.
• Creates a built environment that is in scale with pedestrian-oriented activities and provides visual interest and
orientation for pedestrians.
Staff Comments: There are minor proposed changes to the built environment with this application as the
applicant will be adding fenestration to the west elevation of the building. As these exterior alterations are
located behind the building, away from Atlantic Avenue, there will be no visual change from the pedestrian
level. The primary changes proposed will be made to the interior of the existing building. The proposed
dormitory will not alter the existing scale of the building, nor will it enhance or detract from the existing
pedestrian-oriented activities and visual interests of the Resort Area.
• 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 dormitory will provide lodging for J-1 Visa workers, many of whom are employed
by businesses within the Resort Area. It will occupy the second floor of an existing retail establishment thus
contributing to the goal of creating mixed-uses within the Oceanfront. This proposed dormitory is consistent
with the goals of the Resort Area and furthers them by providing a much-needed housing option within the
heart of 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 “Beach” and “Shopping” frontages are both intended to promote pedestrianism in the
Oceanfront by providing residential uses near commercial uses to reduce the need for a personal automobile.
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
The location of the dormitory is one block from the boardwalk and fronts Atlantic Avenue, which has well-
supported multi-modal transit infrastructure.
• Is physically and functionally integrated with the built environment in which it is located.
Staff Comments: The proposed use will not alter the exterior of the existing structure on the site. The existing
structure is a two-story, mixed-use building, and is in keeping with the spirit of the Oceanfront Resort district
and the frontage types on which it is located. The proposed use and structure on the site are well-suited to the
Resort District.
• Advances the goals and objectives of the parking strategy for the District.
Staff Comments: No additional parking will be provided on site. Given the proximity of the dormitory to the
robust multi-modal transit system in the Resort Area, no additional parking will be required for this use. It is
unlikely that all or even most residents of the dormitory will have a personal vehicle and demand for individual
parking is unexpected. As such, it is Staff’s opinion that the proposed use, while not providing additional parking,
will have no detrimental effect on 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 unlikely to have any adverse impacts on surrounding properties. Under
the current zoning, this site can be developed or redeveloped with residential uses. A project of that type would
require additional parking and increase average daily trips to this area. The proposed dormitory, while a type of
residential use, has a lower parking demand. It will also provide J-1 Visa workers an affordable housing
opportunity near employment opportunities and a new customer base for the Resort Area. Given this, Staff does
not believe the proposed use will be a detriment to surrounding properties nor the Resort Area in general.
Within the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan, J-1 housing is specifically listed in Chapter 4.6 as a use that is “needed to
achieve the goal of a year-round resort.” Chapter 4.6 notes that J-1 housing will be a critical component to the Resort
Area as it will enable it “to be a walkable community and will alleviate congestion and parking issues.” A priority action
item of the RASAP 2030, as stated in Chapter 5, is to “Support residential and mixed-use development in the Resort
Area” by developing “J-1 housing to promote year-round activity”.
This project was presented to the Joint Review Process Group on December 12, 2023. The group, which contains
representation from Naval Air Station Oceana, found the request acceptable based on criteria established for
discretionary proposals in Sub-Area 1 of the Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ), namely that the
development conforms to the applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan, including the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan. More specifically, the group found the proposed
development to be in conformance with the RASAP 2030, which expressly identifies the need for J-1 housing in the
Resort Area. As part of the recommended conditions, the density of this project will be capped at 86 J-1 Visa occupants
in accordance with the findings and recommendations of the Joint Review Process Group.
Additionally, the applicant’s representative presented the project to the Resort Advisory Commission (RAC) on February
1, 2024, as well as their subcommittees Planning/Design Review Committee (PDRC) and Resort Investment Committee
(RIC) on January 30, 2024, and January 31, 2024, respectively. The applicant’s representative shared the conceptual plan
with the Commission as well as details pertaining to how the dormitory will be managed: A 3rd party will manage the site
in order to ensure the security and safety of the occupants, they will upkeep the shared amenities of the facility such as
the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry, and they will provide an on-site manager similar to a Resident Advisor (RA) in a
college dormitory. Given these details, the RAC voted to support the request under the pretenses that their membership
Sunsations Realty, LLC
Agenda Item 8
PacketPage

6.K.a
believes there is demand for this type of housing to support the international students working in the local hospitality
industry under the Federal J-1 Visa program. RAC’s support was based on the following features of the proposed project;
the dormitory will only support housing for the J-1 program, the project provides a high capacity of housing for workers
to support multiple businesses in the Resort Area, parking in the Resort Area will not be adversely affected as the
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
workers typically utilize bicycles and other microtransit, and that there are “built-in” health and welfare safeguards for
the occupants and the surrounding community given the inclusion of a site manager. It is the belief of the Commission
that this project should be allowed to proceed to help meet the continuing demand for labor by the local hospitality
industry.
The application was reviewed by the Police Crime Prevention Office and the Police Resort Liaisons and they provided
feedback regarding site lighting, access, ongoing inspections, security cameras, personal storage, and bicycle parking and
storage. Conditions 3 through 7 have been recommended to address their comments.
Staff is supportive of the proposal as it will provide housing for a year-round workforce while maintaining compatibility
with the established character of the Oceanfront Resort Area. Based on the conclusion that the proposed use will satisfy
the standards above to the greatest extent possible, that the proposed use is supported by the RASAP 2030, that the
project is limited to 86 J-1 Visa occupants, that the Joint Review Process Group found the proposal to be consistent with
the recommendations of the AICUZ, and that the Resort Advisory Commission believes that this project satisfies the
need for temporary labor housing in the Resort Area, Staff recommends approval of this Special Exception for
Alternative Compliance to the Form-Based Code, subject to the conditions below.

Agenda Item # 8

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next item for us to hear is item number eight. Please come
forward and state your name.
Mr. Korte: Good afternoon. My name's Kyle Korte. I'm a lawyer with Wolcott Rivers
in Virginia Beach. I represent the applicant on item number eight, which is
the alternate compliance to allow J-1 housing of temporary workers. I
understand there are some questions. I can go through the report and what
we've done or I can just take the questions immediately, whatever the
preference is.
Mr. Alcaraz: Are there any questions for Mr. Korte, Ms. Hippen?
Ms. Hippen: I have a couple. My concern was making sure that each person has enough
personal space during the informal. We were told that this will hold 86
people, they are only here for four to five months, is that correct?
Mr. Korte: Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Hippen: But a J-1 Visa does allow you to stay longer?
Mr. Korte: And they'll be permitted to stay as long as they're here on a J-1 Visa, they'll
be permitted to stay in the property. So we anticipate the four to five months
or the timeframe you specified, but if they're ended up permitted to stay
longer, we don't take them out of the space as long as they're here on the
J-1 Visa, they're permitted to stay.
Ms. Hippen: Okay and do you have someone monitoring that space on a 24-hour basis
and where are they?
Mr. Korte: There will be an on-site manager 24/7. They do not live on-site. It'll be a
desk and they'll have a location for the manager that'll be on that second
floor where all the bedrooms are. The exact plan hasn't been thought-out
as far as layout and everything. Still, we're working through that, but there
will be an on-site manager 24 hours a day.
Packet Pg. 302
6.K.a
Ms. Hippen: Okay. Alright. Let me see. Those were the questions that I had.
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
Mr. Alcaraz: Just to be clear, so they're on duty, they're not there to stay and sleep.
They're actually on a time.
Mr. Korte: Yes sir. That's correct. They'll be there working. They won't sleep there,
but yeah, it'll be 24/7. There'll be a desk kind of like a hotel lobby type
reception situation.
Mr. Alcaraz: Great. Thanks. Any other questions? Mrs. Estaris?
Ms. Estaris: Yes I understand that there were some presentations. There were Resort
Advisory Commission and some subcommittees and also the Resort
Investment Committee. Were you present at those meetings?
Mr. Korte: Yes, ma'am. I was present at all three.
Ms. Estaris: All three, and I understand there were some opposition at those meetings
of this project. Can you share some of that opposition as to what were the
concerns at that time?
Mr. Korte: I mean, maybe I'm always optimistic. I wouldn't characterize anything we
felt as opposition. There were certain requests and concerns that were
raised. One of the concerns was safety as far as access to the property,
and if you look the plan or how the property works, there's only one access
point up and that'll be controlled by a key fob, with a video camera that the
police will have access to, and then there's three exits counting that, entry
exit. There's three ways out. The other two ways out are on the outside,
there's no hardware for the doors, so you can only exit out, not in. So that
was one concern that was raised. Another concern that was raised was a
location kind of a locker type storage area where the residents could store
valuables, whether it's a laptop or money or whatever, and there is going to
be a lock type area for each resident to have their own private lock space.
There was a concern about a lot of times these residents, obviously, there's
no parking associated with this plan because they don't bring vehicles with
them when they come over, but they use bicycles for transportation, and a
concern was where would they store their bicycles? And so you saw that, I
believe, addressed and item number eight, that we've, that's been modified
somewhat and that because the building goes all the way up to the property
Packet Pg. 303
6.K.a
line, there's no room on site to allow for a bike path or a bike, I'm sorry, a
bike rack. So the modification that was requested is that the bike rack be
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
located nearby, you know, wherever the city deems as appropriate. And
then the applicant will reimburse the city for the cost of installing that bike
rack. I don't recall any other concerns, but I mean if there were some and
you know what they are, I'm happy to address them, but I don't recall
anything other than that.
Ms. Estaris: Okay. So one of the concerns that I had was knowing that a lot of the J-1
applicants as to where they work from that actual location having an
appropriate transportation and to have the appropriate space and with the
plans of having 86 potential and not having 86 potential bike spaces, how
do you see that to be addressed specifically for safety and also that this is
also people coming in and we want to make sure they're appropriately
provided the housing as well as the transportation to go back and forth to
homes -- to work and noting also some of these J-1s are not specifically just
an oceanfront, but it could be all the way around to say, Shore Drive. How
do you see that transportation issue being addressed?
Mr. Korte: Well, the -- I guess principally the transportation issue is, this is centrally
located in that area, you know, it's the 25th street block of the Oceanfront,
which is centrally located on the businesses that traditionally rely on these
workers. If and I'm not challenging you, we didn't contemplate in making
this application, workers outside of the Oceanfront area. This was deemed
a need for the workers of the Oceanfront area that are finding space, you
know, independence or off bird neck, you know, they're far and far away
from their locations. So, I would take the position that if there is a J-1 worker
on Shore Drive, this might not be the best location for them to house. I think
there'd probably be a location that would be more appropriate, closer to that,
closer to their place of employment. The idea behind this application is that
it's centrally located at the Oceanfront area and you know, easy for a lot of
these residents or workers or however you want to characterize them,
whether they're residents or workers to get to their location or to get home
as a resident and that was the idea there.
Ms. Estaris: Well, I've had many conversations in this particular arena, and knowing that
we lack housing just in general, I know that by setting this plan, you set the
precedence for others to be doing the same thing. So I want to make sure
that we are taking those things in consideration in the planning, but again, I
don't feel comfortable that if you are having up to 86 people and not having
Packet Pg. 304
6.K.a
the appropriate space for their actual vehicles or their bikes and you're right,
most of them are bikes, but I do, and I'm aware that some J-1s do have
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
cars. So that -- what is the plan for making sure that if it's at full occupancy
at 86, how do you see the parking available for those 86 individuals? That's
the concern I have.
Mr. CKrte: I understand and my response would be if, you know, the need for the J-1
housing is there and there is not parking available on this site. If you look
at the survey for the property, it's a zero-foot setback. It goes all the way to
the border or to the property line. So if it is a J-1 worker or resident that has
a vehicle, this might not be the appropriate location for them. This plan is
for -- are designed for workers that are working at the Oceanfront that do
not require a vehicle to go to and from their place of employment and it
might not be the exact fit for everyone, and we're not trying to make the
exact fit for everybody. The need has been identified and to your point, this
is the, you know, it's a lot easier to follow someone else doing it versus
being the first, but the idea was that this is a starting point that we think or
my client thinks, the applicant thinks will satisfy the need for a lot of these,
these folks that come over here and are forced to live 10, 15, 20 miles from
their place of employment.
Ms. Estaris: I agree. I mean, this has been an issue just generally for the City of Virginia
Beach in regards to J-1s and ongoing Workforce Development Programs.
Again, I'm just concerned with the safety and the security of those who are
going to be staying there and when you're saying occupancy is going to be
86, I know there's gonna be a wait list of people that will want to, if this is
the only location in that area, and you're right, it's very central, but again, I
am concerned about the safety and the parking issue of their vehicles or
their bikes and most of them are bikes and they, I know that when J-1s
leave, they sell their bikes to the next set of groups. So the bike is a thing,
but if you only have parking, if you look at the map that was actually provided
to us, and then I have the idea that ride of access, I just don't see where
the appropriate parking of even just saying bikes and if you have that at full
occupancy and how to address that issue or even possible shuttles for
taking people back and forth to the workplace. I believe that this is a very
important for the way that we present this project, this plan, because others
will want to follow through because this is an issue way for many years, and
I've been in many discussion groups about this issue, so that's why I am
very adamant about making sure that when we set this as a precedent, so
we set it correctly from the get-go. Again, I think that we have to take
Packet Pg. 305
6.K.a
consideration that those who are even weather conditions and how people
going back and forth to their workplace, maybe that wasn't a consideration
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
when making this plan, but I think we do need to take that in consideration
when we're bringing people in. We're supposed to house them and we want
to be respected that we have such a great program. I know that we have
reviewed other locations with J-1s specifically in the tourism sectors in the
Southeastern area as far as from North Carolina, Maryland, and looking at
other tourism and how they provide appropriate housing. I want to know
that when we set this as a very first project for housing, that we're also taking
those things in consideration that, oh my gosh, you've got to go to Virginia
Beach because they do take care of their people. I want to know that we're
taking care of our people that we're bringing here and helping support our
tourism sector. So again, my issue is the bicycles and their lack of parking,
I feel for 86 people and how we addressing that?
Mr. Korte: I guess the security aspect first, and I believe it's addressed in the report,
but one of aside from the security cameras and the entry, fob type system,
the applicant is going to meet with the police, during the construction
process and make sure we get feedback from the police as far as lighting
and the different factors that they identify that this property will need to keep
these residents safe because that is a top priority of the applicant as well. I
mean, this, you know, they're, you know, putting the reputation on the line
here as well, and they want this to be a class A project that is, you know,
support and that we'd all be proud of. So they've, you know, they've taken
the time to address as many of the concerns as they can, that they can think
of, but they are seeking input from folks like at the police department that'll
meet with them and help them address and get down to a granular level as
far as what'll be required. As far as parking of automobiles, this site just is
not, it is not suitable for that. I mean, if that is, if there is a resident that has
a vehicle, this is not the right site for them. As far as the bike, a number of
40, their understanding or my -- the applicant's understanding is that several
of the folks they will have bikes, but several walk just based on the proximity
of everything. Proximity to the Harris Teeter Grocery Store, proximity to
their place of employment, a lot of these, a lot of them do have bikes. If 40
is not the right number and there's a different number, that's the right
number. I don't think that'll be a sticking point for the applicant. If the bike
rack needs to be larger to suit additional bikes, that's certainly not a sticking
point for this applicant. I mean, if they need to have more availability for
more bicycles, they'll do that.

Mr. Alcaraz: Are you done Ms. Estaris?
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
Ms. Estaris: Yes.
Mr. Corte: Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions?
Mr. Anderson: I got one question, sir.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Anderson: On your layout of the beds, what about the privacy of the students?
Is there going to be a temporary wall by the bed? Is it going to be a curtain?
I know it's, the details haven't been drawn up yet to that detail, but I'm, you
know, looking at their privacy, while they're sleeping, during getting
changed, that kind of thing?
Mr. Korte: Right now the plan is to have in each room that has, I think, six to eight beds
depending on the room. It'll be curtains between the various beds.
Mr. Anderson: Okay. We just couldn't see it on this drawing?
Mr. Korte: No, absolutely. No. Good question and that's what's contemplated at this
point.
Mr. Anderson: Okay.
Mr. Korte: Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions? I got one for staff. Mr. Mauch. I got a question. Isn't
there a four story J-1 at 19th or 20th Mr. Mauch, is there one?
Mr. Mauch: To my knowledge that's the 19th Street Hotel, and I believe it's owned by
the same applicant. I believe they use that hotel as or have used as similar
style, but that would be a question for them hopefully.
Mr. Alcaraz: But staff didn't we have a use come in, a use permit for that some time ago?
Ms. Estaris: It was hotel though, right?
Packet Pg. 307
6.K.a
Ms. Alcock: Yeah. We'll have to look into that.
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
Mr. Alcaraz: I think we did right there at 19th and 20th, corner of 19th and 20th. So I'm
just saying there's one that's already existed. If I'm, my memory serves me
right. I think it's four stories. Okay, Ms. Hippen?
Ms. Hippen: Let me go back to the privacy thing. That was the other thing that we talked
about quite a bit. So I'm a retired Navy master chief, so I've served on ships.
Just keep paying your taxes for my retirement. Thank you. That was the
other concern that I had because there's eight beds in all of these rooms
except for one, one has six. How do you, you said there's curtains between
the beds?
Mr. Korte: Yes, ma'am. The design, at this point, the design contemplates there being
like pull curtains that'll pardon off or carton off the different beds. Yes,
ma'am.
Ms. Hippen: Okay. Because what I see is people working different shifts coming and
going at different times of the day and night and how that will affect each
person's living space? I guess that's the question.
Mr. Korte: Well, I would agree that that's a concern and I think that is a concern
whether, you know, in my college experience, whether you have two, four
or eight people in a single room, you're dealing with folks that are going to
have to learn to live together and be courteous and be respectful and I'm,
you know, there is a risk for if you have one disruptive person or one person
that elects not to be courteous. That's in that room, that could present an
issue and that would be an issue that the on staff or on-site manager, I think
would have to address if folks aren't being, you know, good courteous
roommates. I mean, that's why we have, I characterize it at one of the
meetings. It's kind of an RA type situation and it's not going to be a RA, but
that's the best, in my head, that's the best comparison I could draw, and
that's their role. Their role is to maintain the safety of these residents, but
also to help negotiate situations like the one you're describing.
Ms. Hippen: Okay, based on the picture, I'm trying to figure out where that staff person
will be? Because the picture that we have is kind of hard to see even if I
blow it up, where's that picture, where's that person going to be?
Packet Pg. 308
6.K.a
Mr. Korte: I don't think it's been confirmed, like this plan isn't written in stone as far as
the actual layout, I mean, that's something that's still going to be developed
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
and discussions with the city to get the certificate of occupancy and also
with the police. As far as how is this, what's the best way to structure this?
This was a depiction showing that there could be 86 beds that would still far
exceed the square footage requirement as far as per bed under the code.
So this is a conceptual plan.
Ms. Hippen: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Korte: Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, any other questions for Mr. Corte? Mr. Mauch?
Mr. Mauch: I don't think I have a question as much as maybe a comment or two.
Mr. Alcaraz: You want to save it for discussions?
Mr. Mauch: Yeah, that'd be wonderful.
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, if you can be seated, I'm going to just ask, is there any objections or
any virtual, no speakers. Okay. Now we'll close it for discussion. Mr.
Mauch.
Mr. Mauch: Sure. Thanks. I think, you know, reviewing this and having seen the
presentation a couple of times, looking at this specific site, I know that the
concerns raised are getting it right and I believe that that is something that
we want to make sure we're doing. I do think that every application, if other
applications are going to come, are also going to have their own nuances.
So I believe that looking at this, this is probably killing two birds with one
stone with an appropriate use for the upstairs that typically down there does
not get used as well as the downstairs does and housing these J-1 students
in a safe manner, you know, with the bicycle racks that are being proposed
to add with what the city currently has out. I mean, we can see one right
here on this corner and then I know that there's a couple of more right
around the on the Ben and Jerry's side over there. You know, even if there
were to be the will that we would want to add a few more bike racks or
spaces for bikes, you know, I think this is about as appropriate of a use for,
you know, helping both issues that this Oceanfront and the hospitality
Packet Pg. 309
6.K.a
industry has down there. I think that I'm inclined to support this and make
sure that we're getting this right for future things too.
Attachment: 01_ARF_Sunsations Realty, LLC (COMBINED) (3757 : Sunsations Realty, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Alternative
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright. Thank you. Any other comments? If not, I'd like a motion.
Mr. Mauch: I will have a motion to approve.
Mr. Alcaraz: I have a motion by Mr. Mauch.
Ms. Alcock: Chairman, can I just specify one thing? I think the representative did make
a comment about a modification to condition seven to allow bike racks to be
installed in the right-of-way. So just if you're amenable to that change, that
would need to be part of the motion if you are amending what is
recommended in the staff--
Mr. Mauch: Approved with the amended condition as stated.
Mr. Alcaraz: With the number. Was there a number? We are good with the number?
Mr. Mauch: I'm fine with the number.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. We're good with the number. Alright. I have a motion with
amendment. Do I have a second?
Mr. Coston: Second.
Mr. Alcaraz: Second by Mr. Coston, is there any abstaining? Anybody abstaining?
Mr. Plumlee: I need to abstain from this matter. For the reasons set forth in a letter on
file with the city.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.

Subject: Leter of Support for J-1 Alterna�ve Compliance Dormitory Housing
Mayor and Members of City Council:
The Resort Advisory Commission supports the applica�on for alterna�ve compliance for the
construc�on of J-1 Visa student dormitory style housing located at 2500 Atlan�c Avenue. The
legal and design professionals overseeing this project for the property owner presented the
project details to several commitees of the Resort Advisory Commission (RAC) including the full
RAC membership during the February 1, 2024, mee�ng.
The RAC membership believes there is demand for this type of housing to support the
interna�onal students working in the local hospitality industry under the Federal J-1 Visa
program and supports the project as presented. Highlights include:
- Only used to support housing for the J-1 program.
- Capacity for J-1 students for mul�ple businesses.
- Not adversely affect parking. Students use bicycles and other microtransit.
- Built-in health and welfare safeguards for the occupants and surrounding community.
It is the belief of this Commission that this project should be allowed to proceed to help meet
the con�nuing demand for labor by the local hospitality industry. Please contact me either by
phone (757) 335-1233 or email: bj@rockafellers.com should you wish to discuss further or
collect addi�onal informa�on.

MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
The applicant is seeking to amend the proffers associated with the 1993
Conditional Rezoning and 2009 Modification of Proffers, in order to offer music
lessons for violins and other string instruments, and general sales and repair of
musical instruments, within the existing suite. Additionally, they intend to operate
a small café on site that will serve coffee, tea, non-alcoholic beverages, and food
items.
As currently proffered, the only uses permitted on site would be an indoor skate
park or those uses that are permitted in both the O-2 and B-2 Districts. The
applicant is intending to modify this proffers, solely for Suite 111, to allow the uses
specified above as well as those uses that are permitted either by-right or through
a Conditional Use Permit in both the O-2 and B-2 Districts. The proposed operation
will operate 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday with two employees proposed.
Considerations:
In Staff’s opinion, the request is acceptable with the proffers submitted by the
applicant. This complementary non-residential use will not have an adverse effect
on traffic nor will it negatively impact the surrounding areas.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report.
Recommendation:
On February 14, 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
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a Museum on a portion of this 227-acre R-15
Attachment: 02_ARF_Daolin Dong and Jiayin Wang (COMBINED) (3758 : Daolin Dong & Jiayin Wang (Applicants) Charles B. Hayes &
Residential District zoned parcel, which is the home of Virginia Wesleyan University.
• The museum, Virginia Museum of Cultural Arts (VMOCA), will be constructed on the western portion of the site
between the Susan S. Goode Performing Arts Center and the President’s House along the main campus road (Smith
Drive).
• The proposed two-story building will have a total floor area of approximately 36,000 square feet with a building
height not to exceed 41 feet. Deviation to exceed the maximum building height of 35 feet on property zoned R-15
Residential is requested.
• As depicted on the submitted building elevations, the façade will have a neutral color palette with brick veneer,
precast concrete wall panels, metal panels, a glazed storefront, and glass.
• The VMOCA building will include gallery and education spaces, offices, event and gathering spaces, as well as spaces
for security.
• In addition to the daily operations of the museum, outdoor educational and fundraising events with food and
beverage services are proposed to include community days, live music, and film events. Up to eight events per year
are proposed.
• Events will be connected to the other exhibitions on-site to encourage attendees to view and tour the galleries, thus
enhancing the public’s access to art.
• The typical hours of operation for the museum will be 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturday through Sunday. Other special events, as described above, will vary between the hours
of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
• 161 parking spaces are required for both the performing arts center and the proposed museum. The Conceptual Site
Plan depicts 166 parking spaces, exceeding the parking requirement by five spaces.
• At this time, the applicant does not have a prepared sign package for the museum. All signage, however, will be

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request, for a Conditional Use Permit for a Museum is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable.
The location of the proposed museum is logical in terms of the overall layout of the university campus and will not be
highly visible from adjacent properties to the east, west, and south, as adequate screening is provided. While the
building will be visible to the north along Wesleyan Drive, it is well over 850 feet away from the public right-of-way.
The proposed building will be constructed with high quality materials and the design is compatible with other structures
on the Virginia Wesleyan University campus. In Staff’s opinion, a museum is an appropriate use and will further enhance
the campus’s existing character, providing educational and cultural activity opportunities for students, nearby
neighborhoods, and the general public to explore and view contemporary art from diverse perspectives. Furthermore,
the proposed walkways throughout the site coupled with the proposed landscaping promotes connectivity and the
environmental stewardship framework of the Comprehensive Plan.
As stated previously, parking can easily be accommodated on site for both the Susan S. Goode Performing Arts Center
and VMOCA. For larger VMOCA fundraising and cultural events, overflow parking will be provided by way of satellite
parking on the Virginia Wesleyan University campus. Walking instructions to the museum from the designated satellite
parking locations, as well as shuttle services will be provided to accommodate guests. The fundraising events proposed
help ensure the continued success of the facility and the sustained opportunity to provide cultural opportunities to both
residents and visitors to Virginia Beach. As the proposal is consistent with the existing campus development and
compatible with nearby residential uses, Staff recommends approval with the conditions listed below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this property as being within the “Suburban Area.” Guiding principles have been
established in the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to the stability of the Suburban Area and to
provide a framework for neighbors and places that are increasingly vibrant and distinctive. The Plan’s primary guiding
principle for the Suburban Area is to create “Great Neighborhoods,” and to support those neighborhoods with
complementary non-residential uses in such a way that working together the stability and sustainability of the Suburban
Area is ensured for now and the future. Overall, the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s
recommendations for this area.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The campus is a mix of mature wooded areas, open grassed areas,
buildings, and parking lots associated with college campus learning and living. There are some nontidal wetlands in the
vicinity of the project. If impacted, the necessary permits must be provided during final site plan review.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: VIRGINIA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Museum) for the property located at 5817 Wesleyan
Drive (GPIN 1468032646). COUNCIL DISTRICT 4
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a Museum
(Virginia Museum of Cultural Arts (VMOCA)), on the Virginia Wesleyan University
campus between the Susan S. Goode Performing Arts Center and the President’s
House. The proposed two-story building will be approximately 36,000 square feet
with a building height not to exceed 41 feet. The VMOCA building will include a
gallery, educational, office, security, and event/gathering spaces. Outdoor
educational and fundraising events with food and beverage services are proposed
to include community days, live music, and film events. Up to eight special events
per year are proposed. Proposed hours of operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturday through Sunday.
Other special events, as described above, will vary between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 11:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday. Required parking is met on site to
accommodate both the performing arts center and the museum with satellite
parking provided on campus for larger fundraising events.
Considerations:
The proposed museum is an appropriate use on this property and will further
enhance the campus’s existing character, providing educational and cultural
activity opportunities for students, nearby neighborhoods, and the general public.
A deviation to the building height was requested by the applicant, as the maximum
building height in the R-15 Residential District is 35 feet. Overall, the height will not
be detrimental to surrounding properties, as it is setback significantly from the
public right-of-way and will be further buffered by existing vegetation on site.
Planning Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to support the
deviation request. The proposal is consistent with the existing campus
development and compatible with nearby residential uses. 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 February 14, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.

Residential District zoned parcel, which is the home of Virginia Wesleyan University.
• The museum, Virginia Museum of Cultural Arts (VMOCA), will be constructed on the western portion of the site
between the Susan S. Goode Performing Arts Center and the President’s House along the main campus road (Smith

• The proposed two-story building will have a total floor area of approximately 36,000 square feet with a building
height not to exceed 41 feet. Deviation to exceed the maximum building height of 35 feet on property zoned R-15
Residential is requested.
• As depicted on the submitted building elevations, the façade will have a neutral color palette with brick veneer,
precast concrete wall panels, metal panels, a glazed storefront, and glass.
• The VMOCA building will include gallery and education spaces, offices, event and gathering spaces, as well as spaces
for security.
• In addition to the daily operations of the museum, outdoor educational and fundraising events with food and
beverage services are proposed to include community days, live music, and film events. Up to eight events per year

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request, for a Conditional Use Permit for a Museum is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable.
The location of the proposed museum is logical in terms of the overall layout of the university campus and will not be
highly visible from adjacent properties to the east, west, and south, as adequate screening is provided. While the
building will be visible to the north along Wesleyan Drive, it is well over 850 feet away from the public right-of-way.
The proposed building will be constructed with high quality materials and the design is compatible with other structures
on the Virginia Wesleyan University campus. In Staff’s opinion, a museum is an appropriate use and will further enhance
the campus’s existing character, providing educational and cultural activity opportunities for students, nearby
neighborhoods, and the general public to explore and view contemporary art from diverse perspectives. Furthermore,
the proposed walkways throughout the site coupled with the proposed landscaping promotes connectivity and the
environmental stewardship framework of the Comprehensive Plan.
As stated previously, parking can easily be accommodated on site for both the Susan S. Goode Performing Arts Center
and VMOCA. For larger VMOCA fundraising and cultural events, overflow parking will be provided by way of satellite
parking on the Virginia Wesleyan University campus. Walking instructions to the museum from the designated satellite
parking locations, as well as shuttle services will be provided to accommodate guests. The fundraising events proposed
help ensure the continued success of the facility and the sustained opportunity to provide cultural opportunities to both
residents and visitors to Virginia Beach. As the proposal is consistent with the existing campus development and
compatible with nearby residential uses, Staff recommends approval with the conditions listed below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this property as being within the “Suburban Area.” Guiding principles have been
established in the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to the stability of the Suburban Area and to
provide a framework for neighbors and places that are increasingly vibrant and distinctive. The Plan’s primary guiding
principle for the Suburban Area is to create “Great Neighborhoods,” and to support those neighborhoods with
complementary non-residential uses in such a way that working together the stability and sustainability of the Suburban
Area is ensured for now and the future. Overall, the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s
recommendations for this area.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The campus is a mix of mature wooded areas, open grassed areas,
buildings, and parking lots associated with college campus learning and living. There are some nontidal wetlands in the
vicinity of the project. If impacted, the necessary permits must be provided during final site plan review.

INVESTMENT, LLC [PROPERTY OWNER] Conditional Use Permit (Open Air
Market) for the property located at 5070 Virginia Beach Boulevard (GPIN
1467960131 ). COUNCIL DISTRICT 4
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
This is an application for a Conditional Use Permit for an Open-Air Market to
operate a food truck in the parking lot of Freedom Outdoor Gun Range. This
property is located along Virginia Beach Boulevard at the intersection of North
Witchduck Road. The food truck will operate from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday
through Saturday. Two employees are proposed.
This site was approved for a Modification of Conditions in 2020 to allow for the
construction of 3 additional retail buildings; these buildings have not been
constructed to date. Due to the potential future construction, Staff has decided to
not condition the location of the food truck on the site. A Board of Zoning Appeals
variance was granted in 2021 to reduce the amount of required parking spaces
on-site to 208 spaces; however, a total of 253 parking spaces exist today.
Considerations:
The proposed use is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable, as this is a largely commercial
area and is proposed within the parking lot of an existing business.
The applicant’s food truck currently operates on site with an active Peddler’s
Permit, which is set to expire in March 2024. This permit allows them to operate at
one location for a duration of 6 months, after which they cannot return to that
location for another year. The applicant is seeking the Conditional Use Permit to
remain at this location permanently.
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 February 14, 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: 04_ARF_Yurvin Juan Morales Lopez (COMBINED) (3760 : Yurvin Juan Morales Lopez (Applicant) Freedom Land Investment, LLC
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an Open-Air Market for the operation of a food truck on a
5.14 acre parcel zoned B-2 Community Business District.
• The food truck currently operates in the parking lot of the Freedom Outdoor Gun Range. The applicant has been
issued a peddler permit to operate the food truck. The peddler permit is valid for a period of six months and is set to
expire in March 2024. Since peddler permits can only be issued once in the same location per Section 33-6 of City
Zoning Ordinance, the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to remain at the subject location.
• The applicant’s food truck, Taqueria La Ceiba, is a standalone food truck that is located within the southwestern
portion of the parcel, facing Virginia Beach Boulevard. The existing Indoor Recreation Facility requires 253 parking
spaces and exceeds their current minimum requirement by 16 spaces with the food truck occupying 5 parking
spaces. The site was approved for a Modification of Conditions in 2020 for three additional retail buildings that are
not yet constructed. Upon the completion of these buildings, this site will be deficient in parking by 61 spaces.
Following the Modification approval, a Board of Zoning Appeals variance was approved in January 2021 for a
reduction in parking, allowing the site to operate with 208 spaces. Therefore, the parking requirements are met
including the addition of the food truck onsite.
• The food truck area will include a table and two chairs for patrons. The property owner and applicant have a lease
agreement for the food truck to operate on-site for two years. At the conclusion of their two-year lease agreement,
the applicant intends to seek renewal of the lease.
• The typical hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Two employees are
anticipated. When the food truck is not operating it will remain on site and closed.
• This property is located within the Western Campus Overlay District which is an opt-in overlay district intended to be
a low-rise academic district and service area. Since Open-Air markets are not a permitted use within the overlay
district the applicant is choosing not to opt in to the District.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Attachment: 04_ARF_Yurvin Juan Morales Lopez (COMBINED) (3760 : Yurvin Juan Morales Lopez (Applicant) Freedom Land Investment, LLC
The Conditional Use Permit request for an Open-Air Market to operate a food truck is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. The
addition of a food truck to an existing business is in keeping with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan and its guiding principles to encourage a compatible mix of uses and an efficient use of land resources. The food
truck is located at the corner of the main artery, Witchduck Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard, and is accessible to
pedestrians in the corridor.
A Modification of Conditions was approved in 2020 to allow the existing retail business, Freedom Outdoors, to construct
three additional buildings onsite. Since one of the future buildings is proposed to be located along Virginia Beach
Boulevard, staff has chosen not to condition the location of the food truck so it may be relocated when construction
begins on-site. It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed food truck will not result in a significant increase in traffic in the
parking lot as the use is consistent with the typical retail business uses.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. Unless otherwise authorized by the Zoning Ordinance, the Open-Air Market shall be limited to one food truck.
2. All trash receptacles shall be emptied regularly as to not overflow, and litter and debris shall not be allowed to
accumulate.
3. The food truck shall be stored onsite within the striped parking spaces of the existing business when the food truck
is not in operation. The food truck shall not obstruct the drive aisle or fire lanes.
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 Pembroke Strategic Growth Area within the Western Campus Overlay District. The addition
of food trucks at Freedom Outdoors would be a compatible use that would increase economic development for local
businesses and provide a new food service to not only Pembroke but the surrounding residential neighborhoods and
would be supported by the Comprehensive Plan and Pembroke SGA Master Plan.

COUNCIL DISTRICT 5
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
The applicant and his wife own four dogs and frequently care for their daughter’s
two dogs when she is on deployment, underway, or otherwise out of town. As the
Zoning Ordinance only permits up to four dogs without a Conditional Use Permit,
the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Kennel to
permit up to six adult dogs at this R-10 Residential property. All the dogs are
current on their required vaccinations and the applicant has no open violations with
Animal Control.
Considerations:
Keeping dogs as pets is a compatible use in this area and aligns with the general
goals of the Suburban Area as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The
applicant’s request is reasonable to accommodate the frequent, though not
constant, presence of six adult dogs. The dogs will not be kenneled outdoors, and
the applicant’s rear yard is enclosed with a fence.
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 February 14, 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 animal waste from the dogs shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful
manner on a weekly basis.
2. The applicant shall ensure that all dogs are properly vaccinated and immunized
and are licensed through the City of Virginia Beach.
3. There shall be no breeding of dogs on the site.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 05_ARF_George Cutulle (COMBINED) (3761 : George Cutulle (Applicant) George Joseph Cutulle & Vivienne Mary Cutulle (Property
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a residential kennel at their residence at 2760
Mulberry Loop zoned R-10 Residential District.
• The applicant, George Cutulle and his wife own four dogs and frequently care for their daughter’s two dogs. They
are seeking a Conditional Use Permit to keep their daughter’s two dogs overnight for extended periods while she is
deployed, underway, or out of town.
• The rear yard is enclosed with a fence that has recently been reconfigured to enclose only the applicant’s property.
• All dogs on the property, including the applicant’s daughter’s dogs, are current on all required vaccinations.
• One call to Animal Control was made for this area in October 2023 that reported a dog chasing a teenager. The
report identified the at-large dog to be a Great Dane. The applicant does not own a Great Dane, nor is one known to
be associated with this property.
• The property is located in the 70-75 dB DNL noise zone of the Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZ). The
Zoning Administrator determined that this use is permitted in this noise zone as it is an Animal Husbandry Service, a
type of agricultural-related activity allowed in high-noise zones.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request for a Conditional Use Permit for a residential kennel is acceptable. This property is located
in the Suburban Area, as identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and is part of a residential subdivision that was
developed under a land use plan in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Keeping dogs as pets is compatible with this area and
with the general goals for the Suburban Area as a residentially focused area. The dogs are not hunting animals and will
not be kenneled outdoors. The need for the Conditional Use Permit is to permit the applicant to care for his daughter’s
animals while she is deployed, underway, or otherwise out of town. The proposed quantity of animals at this site is
limited and will be transient as the two dogs that are not owned by the applicants do not and will not make this their

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: BRANDON SHAW [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Home Occupation – Retail Sales) for the property located at 2076 Mason
Neck Lane (GPIN 1454694387). COUNCIL DISTRICT 7
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Occupation to operate
an online retail sale (firearms) business within the single-family dwelling. The
applicant will be the sole operator of the online business. There will be no sale of
firearms from this residence. No signs or advertisements are proposed for the
property.
Considerations:
No firearm or federally controlled item will be left on the property without properly
being transferred to the owner. Section 234 of the Zoning Ordinance allows up to
20 percent of the total floor area of the primary and ancillary structures on the site
to be used in association with a home occupation. In this instance, 20 percent
equates to 394 square feet, thus the 299 square foot office within the home will be
below the maximum allowed.
All federally controlled items will be stored in secured steel vaults. In addition to
this Conditional Use Permit, the applicant anticipates obtaining a Federal Firearms
License (FFL) through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm and Explosives
(ATF) prior to conducting business. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit is
required for the applicant to obtain his FFL. All firearms that are on the site will be
required to be secured in accordance with ATF regulations.
Additionally, a City of Virginia Beach Police officer will conduct a security
assessment of the home in the presence of the applicant within one month of
obtaining a Conditional Use Permit.
Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff’s evaluation of the
request, are provided in the attached Staff Report. Two letters of support were
received by Staff. There is no known opposition to this request.
Recommendation:
On February 14, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 11 to 0.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant’s request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Occupation for a retail sales (firearms) business within
this single-family dwelling is acceptable, in Staff’s opinion. This proposed use is located within the Suburban Area of the
city as defined by the Comprehensive plan. In Staff’s opinion, this use will not change the character of the neighborhood
and will not adversely affect the surrounding properties, as it is a very low intensity use. All activities of this business will
occur indoors and will be undetectable by pedestrians and immediate neighbors.

Section 234 of the Zoning Ordinance allows up to 20 percent of the total floor area of the primary and ancillary
structures on the site to be used in association with a home occupation. In this instance, 20 percent equates to 394
square feet, thus the 299 square foot office within the home will be below the maximum allowed. As mentioned
previously, no on-site sale of firearms will occur at the residence, as the applicant intends to purchase firearms and sell

them exclusively online. A condition is recommended below to ensure this. If the applicant proposes to expand services
offered, a modification to this Conditional Use Permit will be required.
The applicant intends to store firearms in a locked and secured vault, in accordance with ATF regulations. As stated
previously, the Virginia Beach Police Department will conduct a security assessment of the home within one month of
the granting of the Conditional Use Permit, as noted in Condition 1. The assessment will consist of the following items:
• Inspect all exterior lighting and recommend strategies for best lighting practices to be used
• Inspect all landscaping, looking for any conflict with lighting and any area where there may be places to hide
• Inspect all interior and exterior door and window locking devices to ensure that they provide adequate home
security against burglary
• Inspect all interior and exterior doors to determine adequacy of their strength against penetration by prying,
force, or any other means
• Inspect and review any alarm system that may be installed on the home
• Inspect the room and safe where any firearms, firearm supplies, firearms parts, and money may be stored
• If there are children in the home, the assessing officer will review safety measures as it pertains to firearms and
the children.
The applicant has notified his adjacent neighbors of his request to operate the retail firearm sales business and has
provided letters of support from two immediate neighbors along Mason Neck Lane.
Based on the considerations above, Staff finds that the proposed use meets the requirements for a Home Occupation as
stated in Section 234 of the Zoning Ordinance. The requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the conditions
recommended by Staff are anticipated to further ensure the compatibility of the proposed use and the safety of the
neighborhood. As such, Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. Any firearm or firearm parts kept on the property shall be stored in a locked, secured vault or similar container. The
applicant shall contact the Police Department’s Crime Prevention Office to arrange for a meeting at the property for
the purpose of conducting a security assessment within one (1) month of the granting of this Conditional Use
Permit. A report shall be written by the Police Department, with a copy provided to the applicant, the Planning
Department, and a copy retained by the Police Department.
2. The applicant shall obtain and maintain a Federal Firearms License (FFL) through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearm and Explosives (ATF) in order to conduct business.
3. All small arms ammunition, primers, smokeless propellants, and black powder propellants stored or awaiting
transfer at the residence shall comply with Section 3306 of the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code and NFPA
495.
4. There shall be no sign identifying the business on the exterior of any building on the property or within the yard of
the property.

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

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.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located within the Southern Rivers watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted
by the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high-water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.

complementary non-residential uses in the Suburban Area.

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.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and there are no known significant cultural resources associated

Boulevard. The property is located in the Rosemont Strategic Growth Area (SGA) as defined by the Comprehensive Plan.
The main goal for the Rosemont SGA is to transition from an auto-oriented retail strip to a mixed-used, transit-oriented
neighborhood center. Artistic and community-oriented businesses such as the one proposed by the applicant are
Attachment: 08_ARF_Cecilia M. Patterson (COMBINED) (3764 : Cecilia M. Patterson (Applicant) Rocky, LLC (Property Owner) Conditional Use
complementary with the kind of services and retail that support diverse and mixed-use areas. While the request includes
the reuse of an existing suite and no exterior changes are proposed, the proposal includes no new construction, but the
business operations align with the goals of the Rosemont SGA.
Prior to operating on the site, the applicant is required to obtain a business license and the Health Department must
verify that the business meets all the requirements of Chapter 23 of the City Code. This section of the code establishes
standards for disclosure, hygiene, licenses, waivers, proof of age, recordkeeping, inspections, cleanliness, vaccinations,
and permitting. A Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued until the requirements of the Health Department are met.
For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of this application, subject to the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. A business license for the Tattoo Parlor shall not be issued to the applicant without the approval of the Health
Department to ensure compliance with the provisions of Chapter 23-51 of the City Code.
2. The actual application of tattoos shall not be visible from the exterior of the establishment or from the waiting and
sales area within the establishment.
3. Any on-site signage for the establishment shall meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance, and there shall
be no neon, electronic display or similar signage installed on the exterior of the building or in any window, or on the
doors. Window signage shall not be permitted. A separate sign permit shall be obtained from the Department of
Planning & Community Development for the installation of any new signs.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
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 Rosemont Strategic Growth Area (SGA),
which is envisioned as a becoming a transit-oriented corridor with mixed-uses and higher residential densities. Key
recommendations for this SGA are centered around transportation infrastructure improvements to develop a more
transit-oriented development pattern and accompanying village core and higher residential densities. Diverse businesses
and services are key to thriving mixed-use areas such as the one envisioned in the Rosemont SGA.

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.
• Although there are no current or past zoning violations on the site, when researching the property for the
current request, staff found that the residence is currently utilized for rental stays no less than 31 days in length,
from May 2023 to present. The services are offered via Airbnb.com. The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use
Permit to offer short term rental services.
• Since this property was not registered nor paying transient occupancy taxes to the Commissioner of the
Revenue prior to July 1, 2018, the property would not be considered a grandfathered Short Term Rental and
thus would require a Conditional Use Permit prior to operating.
• Known Short Term Rental activity as of January 17, 2024, is shown in the chart below:

Evaluation & Recommendation
The applicant is requesting to operate a one-bedroom, 450 square-foot Short Term Rental within the Pacific Place
Condominium building. Short Term Rentals are prevalent on this property with a total of 15 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
915C Pacific, LLC
Agenda Item 12
PacketPage
Pg. 3479
6.K.a
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
Attachment: 09_ARF_915C Pacific, LLC (COMBINED) (3765 : 915C Pacific LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit (Short
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.” Pacific Place
Condominiums is one such property granted a historical exception to the Short Term Rental parking requirements of one
space per bedroom; therefore, only one parking space is required for the entire unit. All other requirements of Section
241.2 and Section 2303 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met with this
application.
The subject property lies in the Pacific Avenue corridor, which serves as the main north-south connector, including
Atlantic Avenue, in the Resort Area. As identified in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030, both corridors
serve as an area where many Resort Area visitors stay and gather. Therefore, the use of the unit as a Short Term Rental
is consistent with this purpose. The unit 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 915 Pacific Avenue, Unit C, and the 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

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: MARIBEL JOA [Applicant] MARIBEL JOA & COURTNEY A CURRIE
[Property Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the
property located at 304 28th St, Unit 211 (GPIN 24280028662011). COUNCIL
DISTRICT 6
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Short Term
Rental in a two-bedroom, 974 square-foot unit of the Playa Rana Condominiums
located at 304 28th St, Unit 211.
A zoning complaint was made in 2022 for the operation of a Short Term Rental
without a Conditional Use Permit; however, the complaint was with a prior owner,
before the current applicant purchased the property. When the current applicant
purchased the property in November 2023, she immediately applied for the
Conditional Use Permit. After purchasing the property, the applicant also
suspended all advertising and renting of this property as a Short Term Rental.
Considerations:
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 8 approved Conditional Use Permits.
There is one assigned parking space associated with this unit in the
condominium’s parking lot. Playa Rana Condominiums is one such property
granted a historical exception to the Short Term Rental parking requirement 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.
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 February 14, 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

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 2022 for
operation of a Short Term Rental without a Conditional Use Permit; however the unpermitted STR operation
was by a previous property owner. The current applicant purchased the property in November 2023 and applied
for the Conditional Use Permit immediately thereafter. Upon purchase of the property, the applicant also
suspended all advertising and renting of this property as a Short Term Rental.
• 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 January 17, 2024, is shown in the chart below:
