ITEM: NMP – C4 FAIRFIELD S/C, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Subdivision
Variance (Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations) for the property
located at 5242 Fairfield Shopping Center & 5236 Providence Road (GPIN
1466549642). COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 (Berlucchi)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant seeks to subdivide the property to create a separate parcel for the
existing McDonald’s restaurant located at 5236 Providence Road. The subject lot
(Parcel A), established by plat in 1979, is zoned B-2 Community Business District
and is currently developed with a shopping center and fast-food restaurant. The
newly created parcels (Parcel A-1 and Parcel A-2) would meet the 20,000 square
foot minimum lot area requirement; however, Parcel A-1 would not meet the lot
width requirement of 100 feet measured at the 35-foot front yard setback. A
variance to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations is required as Parcel A-
1 will be deficient in the minimum lot width by 75 feet and deficient by 39 feet in
street line frontage requirements. Once the property is subdivided only 25 feet of
lot width and street line frontage will be provided.
Considerations:
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations provides criteria for City Council to grant
Subdivision Variance requests. The Planning Commission concurred with Staff’s
recommendation of the approval of this request. At the Planning Commission
Hearing, Condition 2 was added to address ingress/egress on the separate
restaurant parcel (Parcel A-2). The condition indicates that a one-foot no
ingress/egress easement shall be dedicated along Providence Road. The
applicant agreed to the addition of Condition 2.
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 June 12, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 10 to 1.
1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat to the City of Virginia
Beach, subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning &
Community Development prior to the recordation, which shall be in substantial

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 01_ARF Package for NMP - C4 Fairfield SC, LLC (4043 : NMP - C4 Fairfield S/C, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision
• The subject lot (Parcel A) is zoned B-2 Community Business District and is currently developed with a shopping
center and fast-food restaurant. The lot was established by plat in 1979 (M.B. 135, PG. 53).
• The applicant seeks to subdivide the property to create a separate parcel for the existing McDonald’s restaurant
located at 5236 Providence Road. While both proposed lots (Parcel A-1 & Parcel A-2) would meet the 20,000 square
foot minimum lot area requirement, the newly created Parcel A-1 will not meet the lot width requirement of 100
feet measured at the 35-foot front yard setback. Being that the lot width is measured at the narrowest part of the
lot and only 25 feet of frontage is provided, a variance to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations is required.
• As shown below, Parcel A-2 meets all the dimensional standards for properties in the B-2 Community Business
District. However, Parcel A-1 is deficient in both minimum lot width & street line frontage.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations states:
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
NMP – C4 Fairfield S/C, LLC
Agenda Item 12
PacketPage
Pg. 2151
6.J.a
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the
character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the
Attachment: 01_ARF Package for NMP - C4 Fairfield SC, LLC (4043 : NMP - C4 Fairfield S/C, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision
formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance.
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.
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.
The request to address the reduction in lot width and street line frontage for Parcel A-1 is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable.
Staff believes the proposed lots will not be out of character with the surrounding area and finds the variance request to
be compliant with the conditions of Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations and consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan’s vision for the Suburban Area.
The shopping center is comprised of two parcels, both of which are considered legally nonconforming lots. The western
parcel is Parcel B and the eastern parcel is Parcel A. Pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations, existing
lots that fail to conform to present applicable zoning standards may be resubdivided to less than current minimum
zoning standards if the lots have been legally created and if no greater degree of nonconformity than that already
present would result. As such, the applicant would be permitted to resubdivide the property to create the restaurant
parcel without a subdivision variance if the interior property line between Parcel A & B was vacated since the ultimate
number of lots would not increase nor would the degree of nonconformity. However, since the applicant is requesting to
maintain the existing interior property line between Parcels A & B and create a new parcel for the restaurant, thus
creating three lots out of two, the variance is required. According to the applicant, vacating the interior property line
between Parcels A & B is not feasible due to the number of existing commercial leases which would require numerous
legal descriptions, lot area, and real estate tax changes. Staff is amendable to this request since the request is minor in
nature. In Staff’s opinion, this variance request would not be detrimental or adversely affect the character of the area as
the shopping center will continue to operate as it has since its development in the late 1970s.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of this request with the condition listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the review and approval
of the Department of Planning & Community Development prior to the recordation, which shall be in substantial
conformance to the submitted exhibit entitled “Subdivision of REMAINING PORTION OF PARCEL A, “FAIRFIELD
SHOPPING CENTER,” prepared by MSA, dated January 30, 2024, a copy of which has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning & Community Development.
2. Prior to recordation, a one-foot no ingress-egress easement shall be dedicated along Providence Road for Parcel A-2
on the subdivision plat.
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.

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Clerk: Agenda Item #12 NMP-C4 Fairfield S/C, LLC is a subdivision variance
request for section 4.4 of the subdivision regulations at 5242 Fairfield
Shopping Center in 5236 Providence Road in District 3.
Mr. Alcaraz: Just come forward and state your name please.
Mr. Beamon: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Madam Vice Chair, members of the commission.
For the record, Rob Beamon, Virginia Beach Land Use Attorney with the
Troutman Pepper Law Firm here today on behalf of the applicant. I wanted
to just join Eddie and the commission quickly in congratulating Kay on her
retirement. I've worked with Kay now for about 17 years, and it's been a
pleasure the entire time. As I mentioned to her the other day, she's my
resource on Virginia zoning law. No matter where I have cases, I always
call Kay and bounce things off of her, and she's been kind enough to take
those questions, and I really appreciate that. So, best wishes, Kay, moving
forward, and Tori, we look forward to working with you as well. Regarding
the application before you today, this is an application to create a new lot
for the existing McDonald's over at the Fairfield Shopping Center, which
has been on the property for a long time. No new improvements are
proposed at all. This is just an exercise of trying to make a separate lot for
this McDonald's site. The McDonald's site itself, which is proposed for
subdivision, which is shown on your screen right here, would meet all the
applicable criteria under the zoning ordinance for a separate lot, and let’s
bringing up this application, is the underlying lot, which was created lawfully
back in 1979 by a plat that was approved by the planning director and
others with the city, and is there any way we could do the picture of the
existing lot? So, this configuration of the lot, if you include the green with
the rest of the lot, is the current configuration that was originally subdivided
Packet Pg. 165
6.J.a
back in 1979. We're not proposing to alter any component of the lot other
Attachment: 01_ARF Package for NMP - C4 Fairfield SC, LLC (4043 : NMP - C4 Fairfield S/C, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Subdivision
than that little, green parcel shown here, which is where the current
McDonald's sits, and this application would create a separate subdivided
parcel just for that parcel itself. The reason for this application, the lot as it
was subdivided in 1979 has a little stem you'll see to the right of that green
parcel, which is 25 feet wide, which is where it touches the right of way on
Providence Road. The way the city code determines lot width, it's where
the skinniest portion of the property touches the road. That's been 25 feet
for since 1979. We're not proposing to change that at all. And so, it's a lot
that's non-conforming now, and it would be notwithstanding this application
just because we're modifying the boundaries of the underlying lot, which is
nonconforming, we need to come through for additional approval. So, with
that, we certainly thank you for your consideration. I did want to add that
the condition that was proposed this morning regarding limiting access
along the new McDonald's parcel is fine with the applicant. We're
amenable to that, and we thank you for your consideration.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any questions for Mr. Beamon? None? Is there any speakers? No?
Mr. Parks: I'd like to make a motion to approve this item with attachment that they
provide a one foot no ingress egress easement on the front of the new
parcel.
Mr. Alcaraz: I have a motion by Mr. Parks.
Ms. Hippen: Second.
Mr. Alcaraz: Second by Ms. Hippen.
Clerk: Vote's open. By a vote of 10:1, agenda Item #12 has been recommended
for approval.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of Craig M. Kirby and Kris C. Kirby for the
Closure of One-Half of an Unimproved, Unnamed Alley Adjacent to the Rear of
631 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
Craig M. Kirby and Kris C. Kirby (the “Applicants”) requested the closure of
approximately 563 square feet of an unimproved, unnamed alley (the “Right-of-
Way”) adjacent to the rear of their property located at 631 Vanderbilt Avenue
(GPIN 2426-38-4565), for the purpose of incorporating the closed area into their
adjoining property.
On July 12, 2022, by Ordinance ORD-3703A, City Council approved the closure
of this portion of the alley. Although the resubdivision plat was under review, it was
not approved for recordation prior to the time to satisfy conditions expired and a
request for an extension of time to satisfy conditions was not received.
Considerations:
The street closure request is consistent with the City Council’s policy aimed at
disposing of unimproved rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan
community. Other street closure requests similar to this request have been
approved within the Croatan neighborhood.
The Viewers determined that the closure of the Right-of-Way, with conditions set
forth below, will not result in any public inconvenience. There was no opposition to
the request.
Recommendation:
On June 12, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend this
item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to
recommend approval of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1. The City Attorney’s Office shall make the final determination regarding
ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall
be determined according to the “Policy Regarding Purchase of City’s Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,” approved by City Council. Copies of the
policy are available in the Planning Department.

2. The Applicants shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the Right-of-Way into the adjoining lot. The resubdivision plat must
be submitted and approved for recordation prior to the final street closure
approval. Said plat shall include the dedication of a public drainage easement
over the closed portion of the alley to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the
approval of the Department of Public Works and the City Attorney’s Office, which
easement shall include a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the Right-of-Way
proposed for the closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to
the utility company must be provided.
4. Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above
stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the conditions
noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved for
recordation within one year of the City Council vote to close the Right-of-Way,
this approval shall be considered null and void.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 02_ARF Package for Craig M. & Kris C. Kirby (4044 : Craig M & Kris C Kirby (Applicants) Street Closure Adjacent Address: 631
• The applicant is requesting to close a portion of the platted, unnamed, and unimproved alley adjacent to the rear lot
line. As shown on the submitted street closure exhibit, the proposal includes closure of half of the 15-foot-wide
alley, totaling 563 square feet, and incorporating that land into their adjacent residential lot, identified as Lot 13A,
Resubdivision of Lot 13 & Southern ½ of Lot 14, Block 18, Croatan Beach.
• City Council previously approved the closure of this portion of the alley on July 12, 2022. A resubdivision plat was
under review; however, the consultant failed to resubmit the plat to meet the July 11, 2023 recordation deadline.
An extension of the time to meet the conditions of the July 12, 2022 approval was not requested, thus, this street
closure is being submitted again to close the 563 square foot portion of the alley.
• The site is developed with a single-family home and a fenced in backyard consistent with other residential lots in the
Croatan neighborhood. Currently, the area proposed to be closed is fenced in with a pool and has been used and
maintained by the applicant.

Evaluation & Recommendation
As required by City Code, a Viewers’ Meeting was held on April 25, 2024, that included City Staff from the Departments
of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning & Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney, to consider
this request. The Viewers determined that the proposed closure will not result in any public inconvenience; therefore,
closure of this portion of the right-of-way is deemed acceptable.
Several similar requests have been reviewed and approved by City Council for closure of alleys within the Croatan
neighborhood. Consistent with those approvals, Condition 2 is recommended below whereby the City of Virginia Beach
will retain a public drainage easement over the closed portion of the alley.
Based on the consideration above, Staff recommends approval of the proposed Street Closure subject to the conditions
listed below.

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 surrounding uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Atlantic Ocean watershed. There does not appear to be significant natural or cultural resources
associated with the site.

Agenda Item # 8
Craig M. & Kris C. Kirby
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Our next agenda item number is Item #8,
Craig and Chris Kirby.
Mr. Bourdon: Again, thank you for the record. Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Attorney
representing Mr. and Mrs. Kirby. This was an easy one since it's the
same conditions that were approved a couple years ago.
Unfortunately, the civil engineer handling this wasn't familiar with the
process of getting the resub plat done, and frankly, that one year is
starting to be a problem across the board because they’re dealing
with MERS and some of these servicers. It's very difficult. We
appreciate being on the consent agenda. It will definitely get done
within the next few months, but the conditions are all acceptable.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none, I've asked
Commissioner Parks to read this into the record.
Mr. Parks: Thank you. The applicant is requesting to close a portion of the
platted, unnamed, and unimproved alley adjacent to the rear lot lawn
as shown in the submitted street closure exhibit. The repairs will
include closure of half of the 15-foot-wide alley totalling 563 square
feet. City Council previously approved the closure of this portion on
the alley on July 12th, 2022, as mentioned by Mr. Bourdon. Since
there was no objection then and there's still no opposition, we felt it
was appropriate for the consent agenda.

Evaluation & Recommendation
A Viewers’ Meeting was held on April 25, 2024, that included City Staff from the Departments of Public Works, Public
Utilities, Planning and Community Development, and the Office of the City Attorney, to consider this application. The
Viewers determined that the proposed closure, with the required easements to the City, will not result in any public
inconvenience; therefore, closure of these portions of the rights-of-way is deemed acceptable.
As noted in Condition 2, a public utility and access easement will need to be retained over the total area proposed be
closed for the existing public gravity sanitary sewer main in the 15-foot-wide lane. Although there are no public utilities
directly present in the portion of Holly Road proposed for closure, the easement is necessary over this area for access to
and workspace for the sewer main in the alley. The applicant is agreeable to this condition.
Condition 4 has also been added to indicate that no encroachment of private property should be made into the public
utility and access easement without City approval.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of the proposed Street Closure subject to the conditions
listed below.

Recommended Conditions
Attachment: 03_ARF Package for Holly Road, LLC (4045 : Holly Road, LLC (Applicant) Street Closure Adjacent Addresses: 300 Bay Colony
1. The City Attorney’s Office shall make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee. The
purchase price to be paid to the City of Virginia Beach shall be determined according to the “Policy Regarding
Purchase of City’s Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,” approved by City Council. Copies of the policy are
available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed areas into the
adjoining lots. The resubdivision plat must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to the final street
closure approval. Said plat must include the dedication to the City of Virginia Beach of a public utility and access
easement over the closed portions of the rights-of-way for access to and maintenance of the public infrastructure
located within or to be located within the alley, which easement is subject to approval of the Department of Public
Utilities and City Attorney’s Office, respectively, and which easement shall include a right of reasonable ingress and
egress.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way proposed for the closures. If private
utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company, must be provided and shall be recorded after the
final resubdivision plat is recorded with the Clerk of Circuit Court.
4. Prior to finalization of the street closure, if any improvements are to remain or be constructed in the area proposed
for closure, the applicant must apply for an encroachment into the public utility and access easement.
5. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above stated conditions within 365 days of
the approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved
for recordation within one year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-way this approval shall be considered
null and void.
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 these sites as being in the Suburban Area, Suburban Focus Area (SFA) 7- North
Beach Area. The North Beach area is characterized by a relatively high density of single-family/duplex housing, high
impervious surface coverage and problematic topographic conditions, all of which combine to create recurring
stormwater drainage problems. Recommendations for North Beach include parcel consolidation, density stabilization,
and the use of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stormwater control. The land acquired through the street
closure agreement would support this recommendation for the North End.

ITEM: AUTOBELL CAR WASH, LLC [Applicant] MALBON BROTHERS
PETROLEUM, LLC [Property Owner] Modification of Proffers to a
Conditional Rezoning and Modification of Conditions to a Conditional Use
Permit for the property located at 1896 General Booth Boulevard (GPIN
2415315462). COUNCIL DISTRICT 5 (Wilson)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant seeks to amend the proffers and conditions associated with the
Conditional Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council in
2003 to redevelop an existing manual Car Wash Facility on the site with a new
3,350-square-foot automated Car Wash Facility. The tunnel of the Car Wash
Facility will face General Booth Boulevard with 8 vacuum stations located between
the building and the right-of-way. A landscape buffer with ornamental trees and
evergreen shrubs is proposed to screen the use from General Booth Boulevard.
Hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. consistent with the current hours of
operation for the existing car wash.
Considerations:
This proposed redevelopment will result in a reduction of impervious surfaces on
this site through the removal of existing asphalt and the addition of new green
space. The existing vegetative buffer between this site and the adjoining residential
properties will remain undisturbed and there will be sufficient screening from
General Booth Boulevard. While the hours of operation originally proposed by the
applicant were 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the applicant did request to extend the
closing time to 8:00 p.m. which was supported by both Staff and the Planning
Commission and is reflected in the recommended conditions included below.
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 June 12, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.

As proffered and depicted on the Conceptual Landscape Plan, the existing vegetative buffer between this site and the
adjoining residential properties will remain undisturbed, and additional plantings and green space are proposed along
General Booth Boulevard and the interior of the site. Staff appreciates the applicant’s willingness to modify the proposal
to address Staff comments to adjust the bright color on the building exterior, reduce the number of vacuum stations
Attachment: 04_ARF Package for Autobell Car Wash, LLC (4046 : Autobell Car Wash, LLC (Applicant) Malbon Brothers Petroleum, LLC
between the building and General Booth Boulevard from 12 to 8 spaces, and enhance the proposed landscape buffer
along General Booth Boulevard.
During Staff’s site visit, it was noted that the existing building for the convenience store and restaurant exceeds the
maximum number of signs allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. Staff is recommending a condition to rectify this violation.
Staff finds the proposed redevelopment of an automated tunnel car wash facility acceptable and does not anticipate
there will be any negative impacts to the site as the mix of uses on-site will remain the same. Staff recommends for
approval of these requests with the proffers and conditions listed below.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant,
consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to
“offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,” (§107(h)(1)). Should this application
be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.
Proffer 1:
All exterior lighting on the Property shall be directed downward and shielded to direct light and glare away from all
adjoining property.

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 preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value, aesthetic quality of the
stable neighborhoods, and reinforcing the suburban characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential
areas that comprise part of the Suburban Area. Means to achieve these goals may include: all land use activities either
maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings; new site layouts and buildings
be of high quality and attractive design; plans reflect enhanced mobility and connectivity; designs incorporate
environmental responsibility; and effective buffering with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the
surrounding uses. Given that the proposal is a continuation of the existing use on the site and the redevelopment
includes additional landscaping and green space beyond what exists today, the proposal is generally consistent with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is within the Southern Rivers Watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high‐water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters. There are no known cultural resources on the site.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
General Booth Boulevard in the vicinity of this application is considered a four-lane major suburban arterial. The MTP
proposes an eight-lane facility within a 190-foot right-of-way. There are currently no roadway CIP projects slated for this
segment of General Booth Boulevard.
Culver Lane in the vicinity of the site is a four-lane undivided collector roadway. There are no plans in the current CIP to
improve this section of Culver Lane.
Active Transportation Plan
The Active Transportation Plan recommends an 8-foot wide concrete side path be constructed along both the General
Booth Boulevard and Culver Lane frontages. Conformance with these recommendations, include the detailed design,
will be handled during the site plan review process.
Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
This project consists of a new Autobell Car Wash facility to replace the existing car wash located at 1896 General Booth
Boulevard. The existing onsite convenience store and gas station are intended to remain onsite. There will be an overall
reduction in impervious area between the pre- and post-development condition.
Stormwater management for the site is currently treated by an underground detention and infiltration facility which will
remain undisturbed. The existing stormwater management facility collects drainage from the site and discharges into
the existing public storm system along Culver Lane, and ultimately into the Ocean Lakes lake system, through Scopus
Marsh Canal and into North Bay. Portions of the site that drain towards the General Booth right-of-way ultimately drain
into Redwing Lake. Stormwater management for the site will be met through a reduction in impervious area between
the pre-development and post-development condition.
Based on the information provided by Kimley Horn in the Preliminary Drainage Study, the DSC agrees that the proposed
conceptual stormwater management strategy can successfully comply with the stormwater requirements. Final design
and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal to ensure conformance with all requirements set forth in
the Public Works Design Standards Manual. More detailed project stormwater information is listed below.

ITEM: ADEKOJE PJ 22001, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional
Rezoning (AG-1 Agricultural to Conditional R-10 Residential) for the
property located west of Bluegrass Lane & east of 2044 Aloma Drive (GPIN
1494389822, 1494389445, 1494480354). COUNCIL DISTRICT 2 (Henley)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant seeks to rezone three parcels totaling 7.5 acres from AG-1
Agricultural District to Conditional R-10 Residential District to develop a ten lot
single-family subdivision with a resulting density of 1.69 units per acre. Proffered
building designs depict a modern style with each dwelling designed to meet green
energy design standards, including rooftop solar panels. On-site amenities include
a pedestrian trail around the stormwater management pond and a small
playground. The site will be accessed via extension of Bluegrass Lane from the
Princess Anne Meadows neighborhood to the east.
The site is located within the 65-70 dB DNL, Sub-Area 2 of the Air Installations
Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ). On August 23, 2022, the applicant met with the
Joint Review Process (JRP) Group who did not object to the request as the
proposed density is consistent with adjacent residential developments. The Master
Transportation Plan (MTP) shows a 300-foot-wide roadway right-of-way known as
the “Southeastern Parkway Greenbelt” through this site; however, the Conceptual
Subdivision Plan only depicts a 140-foot-wide easement for the Coastal Virginia
Offshore Wind project (CVOW).
Considerations:
While the proposed development is of high quality and maintains a consistent
density with adjacent residential developments, it does not align with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Master
Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP calls for a 300-foot-wide right-of-way
reservation for the construction of the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt
(SEPG). While the SEPG is no longer being considered for construction as
originally planned, designed Public Works has determined and presented to City
Council that this portion of the SEPG should be retained for a future two-lane

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
• This request was deferred at the August 9, 2023 Planning Commission public hearing at the applicant’s request;
however, City Council has expressed no interest in acquiring these properties at this time.
• The applicant is choosing to move forward with the rezoning request to rezone three parcels totaling 7.50 acres
from AG-1 Agricultural District to Conditional R-10 Residential District for the development of ten single-family
residential lots, resulting in a density of 1.69 units per acre. Since the August 9, 2023 Planning Commission hearing,
the applicant provided Staff with a revised concept plan to show additional onsite wetlands and an updated proffer
agreement.
• Access to the site will be via the extension of Bluegrass Lane from the Princess Anne Meadows neighborhood to the
east.
• The Master Transportation Plan (MTP), a component of the Comprehensive Plan, shows a 300-foot wide roadway
known as the “Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt” through this site. The Conceptual Subdivision Plan depicts a
140-foot-wide easement for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project (CVOW) instead of the 300-foot reservation
required by the MTP.
• The site is located within the 65-70 dB DNL, Sub-Area 2 of the Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ). On
August 23, 2022, the applicant met with the Joint Review Process (JRP) Group to discuss the proposed project. The
Zoning Ordinance states that applications for rezonings for residential uses may be approved if they are at a density
that is similar to or less than that of surrounding properties and that conform to the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan. While the proposal does not conform with the recommendations of the MTP, it does conform
with the density of the surrounding area. Since the JRP Group mainly reviews matters related to density and
compatible uses, the JRP Group did not object to this request.
• The proffered building designs depict a modern style with exterior façades consisting primarily of EIFS, stone veneer,
board and batten siding, and glass.
• According to the applicant, each dwelling will be built to meet green energy design standards, including rooftop
solar panels.
• A six-foot tall monument style sign with a stone veneer base is proposed at the entrance of the community on
Bluegrass Lane. It will be appropriately landscaped as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
• Proposed on-site amenities include a pedestrian trail around the stormwater management pond and a small
playground.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Staff is recommending denial of this rezoning request as proposed since it does not align with the recommendations of
the Comprehensive Plan. While the proposed density of 1.69 units per acre is compatible with the surrounding
residential density as required for property located within the 65-70 dB DNL, Sub-Area 2 of the Air Installations
Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ), the proposed development does not conform with recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Master Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP, a component of the Comprehensive
Plan, calls for a 300-foot wide roadway reservation for the construction of the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt
(SEPG) through this site. While Staff and the City Council has acknowledged that there is not a need for the construction
of the full SEPG as it is currently shown on the City’s Master Transportation Plan, Public Works has determined this
portion of the SEPG alignment should be retained for a future two-lane roadway alignment from Indian River Road to
Holland Road with an active transportation component. The Dominion Energy Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW)
project will use part of the 300-foot right-of-way alignment and the remaining portion of the alignment would be
needed for the future roadway. The Conceptual Subdivision Plan depicts a 140-foot-wide easement for the CVOW
project with no additional area for the future roadway, which poses a significant issue if the City intends to preserve the
SEPG corridor as a future transportation corridor.
Information provided by the Virginia Beach City Public Schools Staff indicates that all affected schools are under capacity
and the additional students generated by this residential subdivision will be within the acceptable threshold for
increases in student population.
The proffered Conceptual Subdivision Plan shows two stormwater retention ponds on the eastern side of the
development. A Preliminary Drainage Study was submitted for review and Staff agrees it has the ability to successfully
comply with the stormwater requirements. Final design will be made during site plan submittal to ensure conformance
with all requirements set forth in the Public Works Design Standards Manual.
As there is a public need to retain the entire 300-foot reservation to accommodate the future roadway and CVOW
easement and construction of the homes would impede the City’s ability to accommodate a two-lane arterial roadway
and shared use path through this site, Staff is recommending denial of this request. Should the Planning Commission
contemplate a recommendation for approval, a list of proffers is provided below for consideration.

Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant,
consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to
“offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,” (§107(h)(1)). Should this application
be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.
Proffer 1:
When the Property is subdivided and developed, it shall have the entrance, neighborhood identification sign, street

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site as being within the Suburban Focus Area (SFA) 2.1 – North Courthouse,
which calls for developments to complement the Municipal Center to the south, with significant landscape buffers and
open space as part of the site design. The site lies within the 65-70 dB noise zone and Sub-Area 2 of the AICUZ. The
proposal conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan’s Master Transportation Plan, which shows a 300-foot wide segment of
the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt passing through the subject property. Constructing homes within the
alignment would conflict with the city’s ability to accommodate a planned two-lane arterial roadway, shared use path,
and wind energy utility corridor in the future.
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.
No historical or cultural resources would be affected by this proposal.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Bluegrass Lane is a two-lane residential street in the Princess Anne Meadows subdivision that currently terminates at
the eastern edge of the subject property. The subdivision is proposed to extend Bluegrass Lane so that all ten homes
would have access from this extension. The Princess Anne Meadows subdivision has only one access point at Princess
Anne Road.
Princess Anne Road has a four-lane divided typical section with parallel multi-use trails. There are no projects in the CIP
to improve Princess Anne Road in the area of this rezoning application.
A portion of the subject property is located within the 300-foot wide alignment for the Southeastern Parkway and
Greenbelt (SEPG). While City Council has acknowledged that there is not a need for the construction of the full SEPG as
it is currently included on the City’s Master Transportation Plan, Public Works has determined this portion of SEPG right-
of-way alignment should be retained for a future two-lane roadway with an active transportation component. The
Dominion Energy Wind Energy (CVOW) project is anticipated to use part of the 300-foot SEPG right-of-way alignment,
and the Applicant has reserved this area as shown on the Conceptual Plan. This proposed development as shown on the
Conceptual Plan would hinder the City's ability to preserve the SEPG corridor as a future transportation corridor.

Active Transportation Plan
The Active Transportation Plan recommends the incorporation of a shared use path within the alignment of the
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt. According to the Plan, shared use paths are typically 11-feet wide or greater and
provide a physical buffer from vehicle traffic.
Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
This project consists of the construction of a single-family subdivision, including 10 lots. In addition to the lots, this
project will include associated right-of-way improvements and a stormwater management facility to support the
proposed development.
Stormwater runoff from the site currently sheet flows east towards an existing public drainage ditch. Stormwater runoff
from the proposed buildings and right-of-way improvements will be collected into a wet pond that will treat for both
water quality and water quantity before discharging into the existing public drainage ditch to the east. The purchase of
offsite nutrient credits will be utilized for any remaining water quality pollutant load reduction requirements not treated
by the onsite wet pond.
Based on the information provided by MSA 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.
Project Information
Total project area: 7.50 acres
Pre-Development impervious area: 0.00 acres
Post-Development impervious area: 2.17 acres
Stormwater Management Facility Design Information
Type of facility proposed: Wet pond
Description of outfall: Stormwater runoff from the site that enters into the Stormwater Management Facility will
discharge into the existing public drainage ditch to the east.
Downstream conveyance path: This site is part of the Upper West Neck Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage from this site
drains through a series of public pipes and ditches east into West Neck Creek, into the North Landing River, and
ultimately into Back Bay. Back Bay drains through the Currituck Sound and into the Atlantic Ocean.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
City water must be extended to service the proposed lots. There are eight-inch City water mains along Bluegrass Lane
and Aloma Drive.
Sewer
City sanitary sewer must be extended to service the proposed lots. There are eight-inch City sanitary sewer gravity main
along Bluegrass Lane and Aloma Drive.

Virginia Beach Planning Commission
June 12, 2024, Public Meeting
Agenda Item # 6
Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Clerk: Agenda Item #6, Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC is a request for a conditional
rezoning from AG-1 Agricultural to Conditional R-10 Residential at the
parcels west of Bluegrass Lane and east of 2044 Aloma Drive in District 2.
Mr. Bourdon: Chairman, Members of the Commission, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach
Attorney. I'm here representing Tunde Adekoje who is with us this
afternoon. Tunde is a local architect, a very accomplished one, and this is
a unique proposal to construct, develop, and construct 10 homes on 7.5
acres, an extension of Blue Grass Lane at the back of the Princess Anne
Meadows subdivision on a piece of property that is essentially surrounded
by residential development of greater, slightly, but in every case greater
densities than what is proposed here. The staff report indicates it's 1.69
units per acre, but my math on a 10 unit subdivision on 7.5 acres, it comes
out a little bit less than that. I think it's 1.25 units per acre, but it's not high
density by any stretch of the imagination. It is in a noise zone, and it is also
completely consistent with our policies with regard to NAS Oceana, and the
Joint Review Committee has so opined. The application is also with one
exception, completely consistent with our comprehensive land use plan.
The proposal is for a green development. These homes, which all will be
designed and built by the applicant for sale will be entitled to be high grade
LEED certified if anyone wants to submit for LEED certification.
Everything about it is futuristic. The project would be unique to Virginia
Beach and something that we, I think, as a city should be attempting to
encourage looking forward, and that includes trees and greenery. The trees
on the site, obviously, Dominion Power has come in and cleared 140 foot
easement for the wind energy project, which I'll talk about a little bit, but

6.J.a
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
the rest of the property that would be developed to the greatest degree
possible, the trees on the property would be retained. Obviously, we all
know from a storm drainage perspective that it does require some trees to
be removed, but it's not the applicant's intent to remove the first tree beyond
what is absolutely necessary in order to develop these 10 lots with 10 houses
on them. The property has no wetlands on it that are defined as such by the
City of Virginia Beach, is entirely developable land, and the DEQ has
approved any impacts to what would be core defined, non-upland, non-tidal
wetlands, and under the Sackett decision, there's no connection to any body
of water. So any concerns that none of this property or some of this property
is developable or not valid, not accurate. The issue that is before us today,
we have done everything we can do to try to avoid, but unfortunately that's
become unavoidable that we come forward and move this process along.
The subject property is bisected by on paper a road initially called the
Southeastern Expressway. It was first put on the Master Transportation
Plan in 1991. It was discussed for a couple of years or so prior to that time.
Initially, it was a 150-foot wide right of way. A number of years later, in
order to curry favor with the federal government for funding purposes, it
was expanded to a 300-foot right of way with a southeastern Parkway and
Greenbelt name given to it. Now 33 years later, 33 years that this property
has been subjected to this idea that somewhere along the line is going to be
a road put through, no effort made to acquire, you know, any right of way
on the property, we've jettisoned the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt,
and the city owns right of way on both sides of this property too, by the
way. So the city now wants to have a two lane road from Holland Road to
Indian River Road, which, I do understand that aspect of this, but a two lane
road does not require a 160 foot wide right of way. In Town Center,
Virginia Beach Boulevard, Independence Boulevard, those right of ways
are 120 foot wide. So, we need a 160 foot right of way to build a two-lane
road? No, we do not. We absolutely do not. You build a two-lane road
with a multi-purpose trail, and all the bells and whistles you might want in
Packet Pg. 274
6.J.a
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
a 70-foot right of way without a problem at all. Now, this morning, I think
the world of Ric Loman, one of the best people we have working for the
city, and he was very honest. He said exactly what I intended to say. There's
no idea when that two-lane road is ever going to get built. We don't know.
I frankly don't think I'll live long enough to see it get built. So, once again,
we have a piece of property that has been subjected to this idea that there's
going to be a big road put through it that we now know isn't going to happen,
and we can't do anything with the property. So, an approval today, a
recommendation for approval today, will put the onus where it belongs on
the City of Virginia Beach to make a determination. Do they want the right
of way through here or not? How much do they really need? So I'll go back
to Dominion Power, the wind energy project has only been around for
between five and six years. What did Dominion Power do? They came out
to, we need an easement across your property, 140-feet wide, we're gonna
pay for you for it. They did just that. It is just, it is, again, I'm the biggest
fan of Virginia Beach. I'm born and raised here, and everybody knows, I'm
a cheerleader, but this isn't the way you run a railroad. If the city desires to
have a 70-foot right of way through here, so that one day or whatever,
whatever the right of way width is for that matter. That one day we'll be
able to put a two-lane road here, then step up to the plate. But when this
road was originally conceived, all this area, interfacility traffic area, et
cetera, et cetera most of that did not exist. Almost all of it didn't exist. It
wasn't until after the year 2000, the MOU and all the deal with BRAC, that
we did all these things to protect, and this perfect timing, you got to hear all
about it this morning from Diane Hicks. Okay, that's why this road, that's
one of the reasons why this big old road is no longer really necessary, and
it's also because there's not going to be much development in the inner
facility traffic area other than open space, recreational, etc. So, again, I'm
not here to tell you that that road will never be needed, but the chances that
most of us will live long enough to see when it's needed is pretty remote.
Should the city get some right of way for that potential day? Sure. If they

want it, but you can't tell somebody that's been sitting here. Now, my client
hasn't owned this for the entire, you know, 33 years, but the previous owners
were saddled with this. It's, again, nothing stopping the city during the
subdivision review process that, as we all know with stormwater, will take
another year, that they can come in and figure out what, if they want a right
of way. No one's going to build a house on these lots if it's where the city
wants a right of way and they're willing to make a motion, allocate the
money, buy the property for the right of way, but it is not equitable. I don't
think it's, frankly, constitutional to sit there and just tell somebody, sorry,
you know, you're stuck for the next 50 years. You can't do anything with
your property. So I don't think anybody can deny it's a good application, a
good project, it's consistent with everything in our comprehensive plan,
except for a road that has been on the master transportation plan for 33
years, has now been jettisoned and the city wants some type of road to take
its place. Again, the city is perfectly within its rights to, to put that in place,
but they've got to come out, step up and do something, and that's what we
did last August when we deferred this case. We thought that council would
step up and that they would figure out what kind of right of way they want,
and deal with it, and so we can move forward.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any questions for Mr. Bourdon?
Ms. Byler: Mr. Bourdon, you've made your position regarding the road loud and clear.
What's your position on the cross city shared use path that is supposed to go
through there in one or of two places.
Mr. Bourdon: I completely concur. There should be, no one's suggesting that there
shouldn't be a multipurpose trail and some landscaping around it. That's
why I said 70 feet, because 70 feet's more than enough, because you don't,
two lanes of road are 24 feet. You can have nice median, you can have nice
landscape, but again, that's really the city's determination, but you certainly
don't need 160 feet of right of way for a two-lane road by any stretch of the
Packet Pg. 276
6.J.a
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
imagination and a multipurpose trail. There's also, the Virginia power
easement that, you know, none of the property is on, but it comes right up
to that, and that's where there also should be a trail, but that has nothing to
do with this application, but that's the north south part. If you look at the,
what's up there on the far left side, which would be the west side, those two
lines that run parallel, and bisect the dotted red lines. That's used to be the
railroad line went all the way down to Munden Point Park, and that's an
existing easement. In fact, to the north, there is a private road that runs up
that was done back before we ever had a subdivision ordinance. It's a road
that comes in off of Princess Anne Road right at the access to Princess Anne
Meadows, and then comes and goes up to some properties further to the to
the northwest, but that has always been for many years, has been in the
comp plan to put a trail down it, but some of the neighborhoods, especially
to the south, Christopher Farms and all, have opposed that. But we have,
again, my client is not trying to stand in the way of the city acquiring a
reasonable amount of right of way to include, you know, a trail. He has no
issues with that and he has no issues with it coming to his neighborhood
whatsoever, but 160 feet of right of way and no effort made to acquire the
property for 33 years is, you know, patience has run out.
Mr. Byler: Thank you.
Mr. Plumlee: Mr. Bourdon, you indicated you took an indefinite deferral and worked with
staff in the city to see if there was interest in defining this. I take that to
mean, and I ask this question in the informal, has there ever been a motion
passed by our legislative body for the road that that public works is talking
about to your knowledge?
Mr. Bourdon: To my knowledge, no. There's not. To my knowledge, you know, council
I was told, was briefed, it's been some time ago, but because it's an
acquisition issue. It's in closed session. But council's been briefed about it,
and what I heard back was, you know, there's no money.

Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
Mr. Plumlee: I take my oath of office very seriously, when we are asked to defend the
Constitution. I went back and read Article 1, Section 11 of our state
constitution, which was updated not that long ago when that big case out of
Boston came through on a takings, and it says specifically, no more private
property may be taken than necessary to achieve the stated purpose, and
here, we don't have a defined area that I've heard yet, and we don't have a
stated purpose by the authorized legislated body that can perform a taking.
So that troubles me. Can you address that?
Mr. Bourdon: Can I address that? I think you already have, Mr. Plumlee. I don't think, I
can add a lot of substance to what you said. It's, totally my understanding
and has been from, you know, for decades. So again, as I said, my advice
to our client has been from day one, let's work with the city, you know, let's,
you know, we're not trying to get in the way of something that's necessary,
but at this point.
Mr. Plumlee: But this was the same applicant as of last year?
Mr. Bourdon: Right. This has been in process. We've been through the stormwater
process. We've been in, yes, we've been in process for this for going on
four years and we've tried to give the city, and the city still has opportunity,
you know, to acquire, you know, we're not, this doesn't foreclose the city's
ability to determine they need X number of feet or right away to do what
they wish in the future within this area, including all 160 feet if that's what
they want to do, but you can't condemn somebody's property that, you
know, just sit there and can't do anything with it. That's our problem, let's
just make a decision, not this body, but city council needs to make a
decision, but you're absolutely correct, and I'm not, and we're not here, my
client's not here trying to threaten anybody, we just, we want to try to be
able to have a reasonable use of the property, and put it to reasonable use
and in a beneficial way all the way around.

Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you. Mr. Parks?
Mr. Parks: As an architect, I can appreciate the renderings of the houses, but my
concern after hearing the briefing this morning is in the TA and the ITA
areas. There is a defined pattern book, and what is being proposed does not
seem to be matching the area around it.
Mr. Bourdon: Well, this is not in the Interfacility Traffic Area to be clear. The Interfacility
Traffic Area is on the west side, southwest side of Princess Anne Road. So
this is not in the ITA or Transition Area. Okay, this is good old, you know,
Virginia Beach. It's just, it has the AICUZ issue with the noise zone, but it
doesn't have anything to do with the Interfacility Area guidelines that Diane
was speaking about this morning, and I kind of went through that and didn't
make that distinction. It's that, but this road, I may, I brought that into it
because the road is designed to provide access from Holland, Princess Anne,
and then from Princess Anne, to Salem, and then to Indian River. That's
what they want to have. I mean, again, there's no design for a road, and that
area isn't going to develop other than a 1 per 15, okay? If any, and it won't
be partly any residential, and so that lack of development potential is one of
the reasons why they don't need much of a road and it's not going to have
carry a lot of traffic, but this piece is not in the ITA, but the road goes
through the ITA.
Mr. Parks: Understood. Just knowing that area, the design that's going in there,
obviously this isn't the body to debate this on. I'm just saying, I don't believe
it fits the character of the area it's going into, and again I appreciate the
modern design as an architect. I know there's ways to, to do green building,
sustainable building, but also make it fit the neighborhood that surrounds it.
Mr. Bourdon: Well, the neighborhood that where access is through, this is not in the
middle of the neighborhood. It's off on its own, at the end of an existing
dead end street, dead end cul-de-sac, because they knew this property was

6.J.a
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
developable and the developers of the neighborhood actually sold one of the
three parcels to my client for this development. So it really does not have,
it's not like it's sitting at the entrance of the neighborhood, and you're going
through one to get the, it is at the tail end on its own separate cul-de-sac. So
it is modern and it is unique, and I don't believe that, I'm not aware of
opposition from the folks that you all saw this morning. They're in a totally
different neighborhood to the north, so I don't believe that Princess Anne
Meadows is opposed to this application because I don't really think it
impacts them other than the homes will have cars that drive through their
neighborhood to get to Princess Anne Road, but it's really, it is its own little
separate enclave. I'm not going to argue that the houses are the same as
those in Princess Anne Meadows, but I think if it were somewhere else other
than where it is, then it would have a potential impact, but the houses will,
again, the houses in Princess Anne, Meadows are wonderful houses and
they're not inexpensive. These will not hurt their dollar value assessments.
I can assure you that they will because of the circumstance of it to do a
homes like these, there's more cost involved and there's going to be a higher
sales price. I don't think anybody would argue the contrary.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Coston, go ahead.
Mr. Coston: I have difficulty with the city holding the property forever and a day now.
I lived through the Southeastern Project. My neighborhood was at the
beginning of it, and people who had suffered for years building their own
homes were moved out of those properties and now we don't need it. So,
I'd support this for approval.
Ms. Hippen: Mr. Bourdon, I was the sole person that went out and looked at this property
on our visit, and when I walked in here, I was dead set against it, but you're
one heck of a lawyer, and you made some points to convince me to support
it because you're absolutely right, yes there's a propose, but nothing's in
stone, and Mr. Plumlee asked the question, and I didn't feel that he got an

6.J.a
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
answer to the question of has city council voted on this. Now this road that's
proposed, okay?
Mr. Bourdon: Unless I missed it, and I don't think I did. They have not voted on a
replacement road for the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt with the
exception, because I was there, of the section between Dam Neck and
London Bridge for Amazon, yes, but that's, the only section of this road that
I'm aware of that they've actually voted on, and that's being built by Amazon
and reimbursed the cost of the road by the city, and it's a two lane road.
Ms. Hippen: I am going to vote for this, but my only hesitation, and I have to agree with
my architect friend that the style of home that's going in there is very
different from all the homes all around it. So I just want to interject that,
they're really neat looking, don't get me wrong, but I do agree that the city
either needs to purchase that land or let him develop it.
Mr. Mauch: Could we get clarification from staff about what he just stated, making sure
everything is accurate?
Ms. Warren: Sure. I will give it my best attempt here and I've got Hank Morrison, that's
our comprehensive planning coordinator, but although we have not paid,
designed all of that for a new roadway. This segment is part of the existing
current master transportation plan, which is part of the comprehensive plan
that is currently active. We have not updated either one of those formally
yet, so that's just a point of clarification. This is in both of those documents.
They have not been changed yet.
Ms. Byler: Ms. Warren, when you say they haven't been updated yet, I understand that
that means the new road, whichever it will be, and the new shared use path
hasn't been exactly laid out yet, correct? But the old preservation of the city
maintaining that for the road that we now know won't go in, but still the old
protection is still in place. Is it not?

Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
Ms. Warren: Correct. That's right.
Ms. Byler: So the city basically didn't need to act until it removes that old protection.
Correct?
Ms. Warren: Yes.
Ms. Byler: Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a gap in time
when they have said, all right we're not going to do one, and they've
hesitated to indicate what they're going to do.
Ms. Warren: No, if you recall too, there was a recent presentation made to City Council
where our Public Works Department made a presentation to City Council
about the various segments of the Southeastern Parkway, and what
segments they wanted to remain in effect, and there are three, and this is
one of those.
Ms. Byler: Thank you for the clarification.
Mr. Mauch: So if this were to go forward, is there an alternative path? Has there been
one looked at for the roadway to go through, or would it just be too many
properties to kind of navigate through?
Ms. Warren: So currently, they're looking at the master transportation plan, and I believe
it's only about?
Ms. Byler: What percentage complete?
Ms. Warren: About 40% complete, so I don't believe that they've come up with any
alternative, or if they've been asked to, especially in this area, come up with
an alternative path.

Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Clerk is there any opposition to speak?
Clerk: No sir.
Mr. Alcaraz: I'm just gonna make one little statement. I'm torn with this too because, I
mean, we're here to make a recommendation to city council, and we've been
brought forth some to us that, I think City Council needs to make a move
on. So, I just wanted to say that we're making a recommendation for City
Council. Everyone think straight on this and see what you want to do. All
right, got a motion?
Mr. Plumlee: Yeah, I'll move to recommend this for approval. Let me explain why. We
see right here in the staff report, The City Council has acknowledged that
there is not a need for construction of the Southeastern Expressway. It states
it right in the staff report. Even though it's in the Master Transportation
Plan, that means that's been hanging out over the landowner's rights for all
these years. We are not a condemning authority. Public Works is not a
condemning authority. It is the City Council that is a condemning authority.
Our recommendation is does this meet with infill obligations for
construction of this nature, yes or no? I think it does. That's what we send
up to you. You decide if you want to take it. You know, they indefinitely
deferred taking it up there, seeing what they would do, and now we're saying
make a decision. That's all. Otherwise, I took an oath of office for this
position. I took an oath as an attorney. I'm here to comply with the
Constitution, and I don't see how it complies with the Constitution if our
legislative body haven't, hasn't clarified this very dicey issue for real people
with real ownership interests trying to make housing in a city that
desperately needs housing. So, therefore, I move to recommend approval.
Mr. Alcaraz: I have a motion by Mr. Plumlee, second by Mr. Coston. Are there any
comments before we vote?

It has come to
my attention that there is talk of building more houses in the woods by my house. I am strongly against this. They
have already built new houses and have torn down the woods for the new power lines for the wind turbine project.
The animals that used to be back there have lost their houses and have no where to go. How many more houses does
the City of Virginia Beach need. We were told those woods were considered wetlands and could not be built on.
Since we have bought our home I have noticed an extreme amount of cracks in the foundation and in our streets.
Massive sink holes and erosion of storm drains . I can’t help
but think one day the houses will all succumb to a sink hole with all the excessive building. Please listen to the
residents that are are against this when you make your decisions.

Subject: Conditional Rezoning Letter for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC
Good Morning,
I am writing to voice my opinion on the rezoning matter, as it directly affects me as well as my
neighbors. I am NOT in favor of approving this motion and very upset about the prospect of this
happening, for many important reasons.
One of the biggest reasons I purchased this property was the wooded area. If I knew there was a
possibility of having houses built right up behind me, I would not have made the choice of buying this
house and property. Additionally, I was assured at the time that the area of your proposed
development could NOT be touched or built upon as it is protected wetlands. This greatly informed
my final decision to make such an important and pricy purchase. Having come from a more nature-
like area in eastern Long Island, NY, it has always been important to me to live in an area where I
am not right up against other houses and can enjoy a little nature. It has been disturbing enough with
the huge development nearby bordering Princess Anne Road, some of which I can see through the
little bit of woods that are left. I have had a family of foxes in and near my yard, raccoons, deer, and
other wildlife, which greatly adds to the quality of life living here and is a big part of a healthy
ecosystem. The peace I get from the sanctuary of my backyard with the trees and wildlife, especially
after a long hard day of work, would be gone. The proven MANY important benefits of trees would
be gone when they are torn down. Destroying the few woods that are left would reduce the quality of
life for myself and my neighbors and be greatly damaging and detrimental to the environment and
ecosystem for years to come.
I realize that the city’s decision to want to build more is about money. However, some things are
much more important than money. Additionally, while short-term it may mean more money, the long-
term harmful consequences could very well cost the city much more in the long-run. I had a choice
where to live - I could have lived in Chesapeake or another surrounding city. But being told that
wetlands would not be built upon, I thought that Virginia Beach would honor that and put both the
environment and the people first. Where I used to live in Long Island, NY (and family still reside),
they take every chance possible to PRESERVE both small and big pockets of land, as they
understand the great importance and benefits for both the environment and the people that live
there. I have both read about this preservation and see it with my own eyes whenever I am up there.
We have seen here in Virginia Beach the many detrimental effects of over-building, including
flooding in areas that never used to flood. Other than money in the hands of a few people, the impact
of building on wetlands would be hugely negative for both the ecosystem and so many people.
I am hoping that you truly consider the whole picture before such a consequential decision is made. I
implore you to do the right thing. In the past few years, I have been more and more disappointed in

the ways Virginia Beach loves tax dollars more than the many, many benefits of trees, the
environment, and the people that already live here. I have known many people that have either left,
or, some that had considered moving here that changed their mind due to the excessiveness of
Attachment: 05_ARF Package for Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (4047 : Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Rezoning
putting the dollar over the environment and quality of life here. More and more people will NOT move
to Virginia Beach if the attitude and approach of tearing down what matters most turns this city into
an even more crowded, more traffic-laden, more flooded, nature-less, too expensive place that no
one wants to live. People are smart - they observe, they see what is going on, and when they have a
choice, they will choose a city where the leaders show they care about all constituents, not just the
rich. Please don’t take away the sanctuary of the patch of woods that we have left here. It matters.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. The decision you have to make is a big one, and again I
am hoping you consider all of the consequences. You have a chance to do the right thing for the city,
and a chance to make a big difference in the lives of others. Please help make Virginia Beach a
place people want to live in, not want a place people want to move away from.

Good evening,
I am writing to voice my opinion on this rezoning matter. I am NOT in favor or
approving this motion. I enjoy the peace and quiet of the wooded area behind my
house and would not like any close neighbors. I have also looked into purchasing
this property myself in the past, to avoid this type of situation happening at
some point. We enjoy many wild animals that live in this small parcel of woods
that is left, after the massive housing complex that has already been built
behind us. It is the new 350 home neighborhood built in the area and it seems as
if it is just too much developing going on in this area.
When we purchased our home in 2001 we were told the wooded area was city
property and protected wetlands. This meant to us that there was no chance of
further development, which convinced us to purchase our house and live here. We
have a nice quiet cul-de-sac and know and trust each of our neighbors. We would
not welcome any additional traffic or houses being built in our small
neighborhood. I have also performed "woods maintenance" over the years by
chopping up fallen trees, protecting turtle nests and other animal activities. I
would not enjoy seeing my years of labor being plowed over to make way for more
home. The area is already over-developed!
Please let me know if I can provide any further information.
Thank you so much,

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Virginia Beach. Do not click links or open attachments

I am writing with concerns about the rezoning hearing of the property behind my
home at 2040 Aloma Drive. When we purchased our home in September 2001,
we were told that the land behind us was zoned for agricultural and could not
have houses built on it. Recently there has been a development built close to us
as well as the clearing of trees for the wind mill turbines project, which has
destroyed the homes of most wildlife. The woods behind our home are filled with
deer, foxes, ospreys, a bobcat, turtles, squirrels, birds, racoons, opossums,
lizards and snakes. By taking away these woods it will take away the homes of
these animals. The developers have already displaced so many animals in this area
that we must protect what little woods are left.
Also, our neighbors back yard is eroding because of the drainage ditch behind
their home. By building even more houses back there will take away all of the
trees and foliage along with roots which will further erode our back yards.
I would like for the Planning Commission to consider all the wildlife displacement
and erosion problems, prior to allowing any further building on this property. It
will create the sure deaths of all wild life in this area. I vote to decline the
request for rezoning this property.
Sincerely,
Heather Rice

To whom it may concern,
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to have my voice heard regarding the application by
Adekoje PJ 22001, LLC to have the parcels West of Bluegrass Lane and East of 2044 Aloma Drive
rezoned from AG-1 Agricultural to Conditional R-10 Residential.
I have resided in The Woods of Piney Grove neighborhood for thirty years. My wife Lisa and I very
much enjoy spending time outside in our yard watching the various wildlife as well the relative
tranquility of our neighborhood. We see the occasional river otter, deer, and even wild turkeys form
our backyard.
In recent years we have seen over 200 acres of wooded area razed for the construction of 80 new
homes on Princess Annes Road. After the construction of these new homes the noise level at our
home increased dramatically. Because of our proximity to the Municipal Center, fire and police
sirens are frequent. The trees that existed prior to the new construction acted as a significant sound
buffer to the noise from Princess Anne Road as well as the Amphitheater.
With heavy hearts we have been watching many more acres of trees come down to make way for
the overhead power transmission lines for the off-shore wind farm. It is devestating to us to see the
erasure of nature that we have enjoyed from our home for decades.
Planning Commission members, I urge you NOT to allow for the rezoning of this property. The 7.5
acres in question is the last area of refuge for much of our local wildlife and provides a natural
sound barrier between our very serene neighborhood and the hustle and bustle of Princieess Anne
Road and the Landstown shopping area and Amphotheater.
Sincrely,
Mr. and Mrs. Brian McGee

the Comprehensive Plan’s land use policies for this area and is compatible with
the AICUZ ordinance.
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 June 12, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting to rezone a 1.46-acre parcel from B-2 Community Business District and I-1 Light Industrial
Attachment: 06_ARF Package for Earthscapes Enterprises, LLC (4048 : Earthscapes Enterprises, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner)
District to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District in the London Bridge Industrial Park, west of Naval Air Station
Oceana.
• Earthscapes Enterprises, LLC is proposing to construct a three-story climate-controlled self-storage facility with a
building footprint of 35,600 square feet and a total floor area of 106,800 square feet on this parcel. The building
exterior will be comprised of brick veneer and metal panel siding with a proposed height of 44 feet and 5 inches. A
Mini-Warehouse (self-storage) facility is classified in the Zoning Ordinance as storage, which is a by-right permitted
use in the I-1 Light Industrial District.
• Access to the self-storage facility for lessees and account holders of the storage units will be 24 hours a day, seven
days per week. Access will be controlled with an approximate number of four to eight employees anticipated to be
on site.
• The conceptual Landscape Plan depicts the required street frontage, building foundation, and interior parking lot
plantings. The conceptual Landscape Plan appears to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance; however, a
more detailed review of all screening and planting requirements will occur during final site plan review.
• As depicted on the conceptual Landscape Plan, an eight-foot-tall composite or vinyl privacy fence with a 10-foot-tall
security gate is proposed in the rear of the parking area to screen the loading and unloading area from view of the
public right-of-way. For the proposed security gate, a Knox system and a failsafe operation shall be provided for
electrically operated gates in the event of power failure, as required for fire department access. More detailed
comments from the Fire Marshal’s Office will be provided during final site plan review.
• 14 parking spaces are provided. Per the Zoning Ordinance, one space per employee on a working shift is required for
a Mini-Warehouse facility. The parking requirement is met and exceeded by six spaces.
• The site is located in the greater than 75 dB DNL and Accident Potential Zone – 2 (APZ-2) of the Air Installations
Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) and is encumbered by a Navy Restrictive Easement that limits use of the property to
those considered compatible with Naval flight operations.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request to conditionally rezone the 1.46-acre to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District to
construct a Mini-Warehouse is acceptable.
The property is located within the greater than 75 dB DNL noise zone and the APZ-2 surrounding NAS Oceana. The
property is also encumbered by a restrictive easement owned by the United States Navy that limits the use and
development of the site. The property is also identified in the Comprehensive Plan as being within the Special Economic
Growth Area (SEGA) 2 - West Oceana. SEGAs are viewed as special areas with significant economic value and growth
potential. The Comprehensive Plan supports development of this area consistent with the City’s AICUZ Ordinance and
the City’s economic growth strategy, as preferred uses in the higher noise zones and the accident potential zones tend
to be industrial in nature.
The proposed self-storage facility is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s land use policies for this area, as the
majority of the land in the vicinity is zoned for commercial and industrial uses and those uses that are compatible with
Naval flight operations. In Staff’s view, the proposed use is compatible with the other industrial uses located within the
London Bridge Industrial Park, is deemed a compatible use in the APZ-2 noise zone, and is a low intensity use
appropriate for the site.
It is the opinion of Staff that the traffic generated by the Mini-Warehouse will result in a total of 155 average daily trips,
which is lower than anticipated traffic volumes for other commercial uses permitted by-right in the B-2 Community
Business Zoning District.
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. According to the applicant, underground storage is proposed to
address water quality and quantity on site. An in-depth review of the stormwater management strategy will take place
during the site plan review process to ensure that it complies with all stormwater regulations and that no negative
impacts will occur upstream and downstream as a result of this development.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of these applications, subject to the proffers listed below.

ITEM: CHARLOTTE NECIUK [Applicant] MICHAEL & CHARLOTTE NECIUK
[Property Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Home Occupation – Commercial
Kitchen) for the property located at 2733 Pleasant Acres Drive (GPIN
1494566908). COUNCIL DISTRICT 2 (Henley)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Occupation to
operate a commercial kitchen in an approximately 170-square-foot area in her
home in the Christopher Farms Neighborhood. The applicant intends to produce
baby food for sale off site; no customers will come to the property to purchase or
pick up products. The applicant and her husband will be the sole operators of the
kitchen; no other employees are proposed.
Considerations:
The proposed Home Occupation will not change the character of the neighborhood
and will not adversely affect adjacent properties as it is a very low-intensity use.
All business activities will occur indoors and will be undetectable by passersby and
immediate neighbors. As no on-site sales will occur, no adverse traffic impacts are
anticipated. The applicant has notified the community’s HOA president and
adjacent owners of their request; no objections have been raised. Five letters of
support from adjacent neighbors have been provided for 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 June 12, 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. There shall be no sign identifying the business on the exterior of any building
on the property or within the yard of the property.
2. There shall be no retail sales of any products or merchandise to the general
public from the site.
3. The use shall not create noise, dust, vibration, smell, glare, electrical
interference, fire hazard, or any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or

under normal circumstances wherein no home occupation exists.
4. No more than twenty (20) percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit shall be
used in conduct of the activity. In addition, all activities related to the proposed
Home Occupation shall only be conducted inside the 170 square foot room
within the single-family dwelling on the property.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Occupation to operate a commercial kitchen within
Attachment: 07_ARF Package for Charlotte Neciuk (4049 : Charlotte Neciuk (Applicant) Michael & Charlotte Neciuk (Property Owners)
a single-family dwelling on an R-7.5 Residential District zoned parcel in the Christopher Farms neighborhood.
• The commercial kitchen will be approximately 170 square feet and will include four sinks, a sous vide machine,
refrigerator, freezer, and prepping stations for the production of baby food.
• It is anticipated that no customers will be coming to the site to purchase products, as all products will be sold off
site. No signs or advertisements are proposed for the property.
• The applicant and her husband will be the sole operators of the kitchen. No other employees are proposed.
No Zoning History to Report
Application Types
CUP – Conditional Use Permit MDC – Modification of Conditions STC – Street Closure SVR – Subdivision Variance
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
In Staff’s opinion, the applicant’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to add a commercial kitchen in the single-family
dwelling is acceptable. The proposed use is located in the Suburban Area of the city as defined by the Comprehensive
Plan. 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, as no on-site sales will occur at the residence.
Section 234 of the Zoning Ordinance allows up to 20 percent of the total floor 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 657 square feet, thus
the 170 square foot commercial kitchen within the home will be below the maximum allowed. As mentioned previously,
no on-site sale of the products will occur at the residence. A condition is recommended below to ensure this. If the
applicant proposes to expand services offered, a modification of this Conditional Use Permit will be required.
The applicant has notified the community’s HOA president and the adjacent neighbors of this request, and no objections
were raised. The applicant has provided five letters of support from neighbors in the vicinity.

6.J.a
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.
Attachment: 07_ARF Package for Charlotte Neciuk (4049 : Charlotte Neciuk (Applicant) Michael & Charlotte Neciuk (Property Owners)
Recommended Conditions
1. There shall be no sign identifying the business on the exterior of any building on the property or within the yard of
the property.
2. There shall be no retail sales of any products or merchandise to the general public from the site.
3. The use shall not create noise, dust, vibration, smell, glare, electrical interference, fire hazard, or any other hazard or
nuisance to any greater or more frequent extent than would normally be expected in the neighborhood under
normal circumstances wherein no home occupation exists.
4. No more than twenty (20) percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit shall be used in conduct of the activity. In
addition, all activities related to the proposed Home Occupation shall only be conducted inside the 170 square foot
room within the single-family dwelling on the property.
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 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 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.

ITEM: LAFLEUR PROPERTIES, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Truck & Trailer Rentals) for the property located at 440 S Lynnhaven
Road (GPIN 1496198422). COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 (Berlucchi)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Truck & Trailer Rentals to
rent U-Haul trucks and trailers at the Automobile Repair Garage he has operated
at 440 S Lynnhaven Road since 1995. The applicant became aware of the need
for a Conditional Use Permit for this use upon receiving a Notice of Violation and
promptly submitted an application. The applicant proposes to have no more than
3 trucks or trailers on site at any time to be available for rent. The truck and trailer
rental operations will occur during the repair garage’s stated hours of operation
and will be limited to between 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday only.
Sufficient parking will be available on site even after the dedication of 3 spaces for
use as the Truck & Trailer Rentals display area. The applicant proposes no
alterations to their building or site and is requesting a deviation to the 12% display
area landscaping requirements for Truck & Trailer Rentals.
Considerations:
This property is located in the Suburban Area and is in the greater than 75 dB DNL
noise zone of the AICUZ, in which residential uses are considered incompatible.
This property has been used continuously since 1963 for automotive repair and
service and predates an adjacent apartment development. The addition of truck
and trailer rental operations will have a relatively low impact on the current use of
the site. There will be no substantial change to the character, activity, or overall
use of the property and this corridor. The requested deviation to the display area
landscaping requirements is acceptable as the property has sufficient screening
and buffering from the adjacent residential use; as much of the usable area of the
property is already hardscaped; and as the applicant proposes no changes to the
site or the building.
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 June 12, 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: 08_ARF Package for LaFleur Properties, LLC (4050 : LaFleur Properties, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Truck & Trailer Rentals in order to rent U-Haul vehicles at
their automobile repair garage at 440 S Lynnhaven Road. The applicant has rented U-Haul vehicles from their site in
the past and submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit upon receiving a notice of zoning violation.
• The property is zoned B-2 Community Business and the applicant has operated an automobile repair garage here
since 1995. Prior to the applicant’s use of the property, it was previously used for automotive repair and as an
automobile service station. The proposed truck and trailer rentals would be an ancillary service provided at the
applicant’s business.
• Per Section 242.2(b), no more than three trucks or trailers for rent shall be displayed on site. The applicant’s request
is limited to the dedication of three parking spaces on the property for a display area for U-Haul trucks and trailers,
as no more than three trucks, trailers, or other rental equipment would be located on site.
• Hours of operation for the truck and trailer operations are proposed to be between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday only. The facility will be closed on weekends. The current hours of operation for the
automotive repair facility are between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The hours of operation for
the Automobile Repair Garage will remain the same with this application.
• The applicant proposes no alterations to the site or the existing building as part of this application.
• The current business employs six people. No additional employees are anticipated with the addition of truck and
trailer rentals.
• Per Section 203(a)(16), one parking space per every 900 square feet of floor area is required for automobile repair
garages. The building on site is approximately 3,175 square feet and requires four parking spaces. The site currently
has 17 parking spaces, thereby exceeding the parking requirements.
• The property is located in the greater than 75 dB DNL noise level, the highest noise level in the AICUZ. The proposed
use is compatible within this noise zone.
• Per Section 242.2, trucks and trailers for rental shall be displayed in a designated display area, which are required to
meet interior landscape coverage requirements set forth in the landscape screening and buffering requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is requesting a deviation to the requirement that 12% of display area for truck
and trailer rentals be landscaped as the applicant intends to make no changes to the site and existing hardscaping
makes installing plants difficult.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request for a Conditional Use Permit for Truck and Trailer Rentals is acceptable. While this
property is located in the area defined in the Comprehensive Plan as the Suburban Area, it is also located in the greater
than 75 dB DNL noise zone of the AICUZ, which limits uses of this property. Recommendations for non-residential uses in
the Suburban Area emphasize compatible and supportive non-residential uses. This property has been used
continuously since 1963 for automotive service and repair and predates the residential development immediately
adjacent to it. The proposed truck and trailer rental operations at this site will be strictly accessory to the long-time local
automotive repair garage, which has rented vehicles here for several years without a proper permit. Given the historical
use of the property, it is Staff’s opinion that the addition of Truck and Trailer Rentals will have no substantial change to
the character, activity, or overall use of this property.
The applicant’s request limits the number of vehicles for rental to a maximum of three and limits the hours of operation
for the rentals to typical business hours during the week. While the property has sufficient parking, the layout of the site
makes it difficult to maneuver large trucks and trailers, especially when inexperienced, thus staff finds the limitation of
the number of rental vehicles that may be on site at any one time to be reasonable. 12% of display areas are required to
be landscaped according to Section 5A.4 of the Site Plan Ordinance. The applicant is requesting a deviation to this
requirement as it would negatively affect their parking lot layout and the required display area would only be 57 square
feet. Staff finds this to be a reasonable request given the relatively small amount of landscaping that would be gained
and as the site is adequately screened from the adjacent apartment buildings through existing landscape buffers and
fencing.
No trip generation data exists for truck and trailer rental facilities. Estimated average daily number of trips (ADT), as
cited below in this staff report, for a B-2 Community Business parcel of this size can generate up to 350 ADT. The current
use, however, generates an estimated 50 ADT and Staff does not anticipate that the addition of limited truck and trailer
rentals will significantly increase traffic to and from this site on a daily basis.
Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions and exhibits included in the staff report.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being within the Suburban Area. The primary guiding
principle for the Suburban Area is to create and maintain Great Neighborhoods, which seeks compatible non-residential
uses to maintain and create neighborhood stability. Proper screening is needed for commercial services adjoining a
residential area, such as the existing landscape screening between the applicant’s site and the apartments to the north.
The proposed use is compatible with current site operations and is strictly limited.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. It is located outside of the Resource Protection Area and no site
improvements are proposed.
No historical or cultural resources will be affected by this proposal.

Use Permit (Bulk Storage Yard) for the property located at 4944 Euclid Road
(GPIN 1477134310). COUNCIL DISTRICT 4 (Ross-Hammond)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit for the storage of motor vehicles on
this 38,00-square-foot parcel. The site has been used as a commercial parking lot
since 2016. Two Notices of Violation were issued for this property for storing
salvaged vehicles on site without an approved Conditional Use Permit. Following
the second notice of violation in June 2023, the applicant submitted an application
for a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard. No buildings or structures
are proposed for the site.
The property is located within the Central Village District of the Pembroke Strategic
Growth Area (SGA), which envisions a transition from present light industrial uses
to a mixed-use, medium-scale style of development. The applicant is seeking
several deviations including a reduction in the front yard setback from 35-feet to
25-feet, an increase in the fencing height within the front yard setback from 4-feet
to 5-feet, a decrease in the minimum fence height for bulk storage yards, specific
to the fencing along Euclid Road to allow for a height of 5-feet instead of 6-feet,
and allowance to reuse the existing chain link fence with slats along the northwest
property line instead of the privacy fencing typically required. Staff is supportive
of the requested deviations since the proposed landscaping and fencing reflect a
significant improvement over the existing site conditions.
Considerations:
The property falls within the Central Village District of the Pembroke SGA, which
calls for the transition of existing light industrial, auto-centric, and bulk storage uses
to a mixed-use area with a people-centric focus. However, the proposed Bulk
Storage Yard is similar to how the site has been used for the past eight years and
is consistent with general uses in the area. As such, staff considers the proposed
Bulk Storage Yard to be appropriate as an interim use and is recommending
approval of the request for a period of five years, after which a reassessment will
be needed to determine if the storage yard is still acceptable with the character of
the surrounding area.

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 June 12, 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. The site layout shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted
concept plan entitled, "Conditional Use Permit Exhibit – 4944 Euclid Road for

2. Within 60 days of City Council approval of this request, the applicant shall
submit a Landscape Plan to the Department of Planning and Community
Development for review and approval. Said landscaping and screening shall

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 09_ARF Package for VB Commercial Center, LLC (4051 : VB Commercial Center, LLC (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional
• The applicant seeks to utilize this 38,000 square feet parcel, zoned B-2 Community Business District, for the storage
of motor vehicles, which falls under the classification of a Bulk Storage Yard in the Zoning Ordinance.
• The commercial building on this site was demolished in 2009 and the site was utilized as a commercial parking lot
since 2016 which is a by-right use on B-2 zoned property.
• A Notice of Violation was issued in January of 2022 for operation of a Bulk Storage Yard and storage of salvaged
vehicles without a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant rectified the violation by removing all inoperable vehicles
from the site, restoring it to a commercial parking lot use.
• During a site inspection in June 2023, staff noted that salvaged vehicles were being stored on site and issued a
second Notice of Violation for operation of a Bulk Storage Yard without a Conditional Use Permit. The subject
application was submitted to rectify the most recent violation.
• Distinction between a Bulk Storage Yard vs Commercial Parking Lot:
Bulk Storage Yard - A facility for the storage of raw materials, finished goods or vehicles, provided they are in
good running order. No sale, storage or processing of scrap, salvage, junk, toxic or hazardous materials is
allowed.
Commercial Parking Lot - A parcel of land or portion thereof used for the parking or storage of motor vehicles
as a commercial enterprise for which compensation is charged independently of any other use of the premises.
• There is no building or structure proposed as a part of this application.
• The property falls within the Central Village District of the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area (SGA). The proposed use
is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendation for this area, which envisions more people-centric
versus auto-centric development.
• With this request, the applicant also seeks deviation to the following requirements:
o Section 902 – Front Yard Setback: The required front yard setback for B-2 is 35 feet, while the Concept Plan
shows a 25-foot front yard setback.
o Section 228 – Height of Fencing: Bulk Storage Yards are required to be enclosed by a privacy fence of not
less than six feet in height. The Concept Plan shows a fence five feet in height along Euclid Road and a
portion of the fence to be chain link with slats where the property abuts the back of the adjacent
commercial building to the northwest.
o Section 201(e) – Height of Fencing Within Required Front Yard Setback: Fencing located within the required
front yard setback must not exceed four feet in height. The Concept Plan shows the fence to be five feet in
height within the required 35 feet front yard setback.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The site has been used as a commercial parking lot since 2016. The proposed automobile storage yard would operate
similarly to how the site has been used for the past eight years; therefore, Staff finds the proposal acceptable. However,
the property falls within the Central Village District of the Pembroke SGA, which is envisioned to be an eclectic
bohemian neighborhood with a variety of housing typologies and activities, small shops, galleries, and a central park.
Since the long-term vision for the SGA is to become more people-centric versus the auto-centric style of development
that currently exists, Staff is only supportive of this request as an interim use for a period of five years. Reassessment of
the site will need to be completed in five years to determine if the storage yard is still acceptable given the character of
the surrounding area.
Staff does not anticipate an increase in traffic volume or negative impact to City’s infrastructure based on the proposed
use. According to the application materials, motor vehicle inventory from car dealerships and fleet vehicles are stored
onsite. In Staff’s view, the deviation requests to the front yard setback, fencing material and fence height are
acceptable. The existing site’s condition will be improved with the proposed privacy fence and perimeter landscaping.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval of this request as an interim use with the conditions listed
below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The site layout shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted concept plan entitled, "Conditional Use
Permit Exhibit – 4944 Euclid Road for VB Commercial Center, LLC” dated May 2, 2024, prepared by WPL, which has
been exhibited to City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning and Community Development. These
are deviations to Sections 201(e), 228, and 902 of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Within 60 days of City Council approval of this request, the applicant shall submit a Landscape Plan to the
Department of Planning and Community Development for review and approval. Said landscaping and screening shall

WPL, which has been exhibited to City Council and is on filed with the Department of Planning and Community

3. If any new lighting is proposed, a Lighting Plan in accordance with Sections 252 and 254 of the Zoning Ordinance,
or as amended, shall be submitted for review and approval by the Department of Planning and Community

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as within the Central Village District of the Pembroke SGA. The
Central Village District is envisioned to be an eclectic bohemian neighborhood with a variety of housing typologies and
activities, small shops, galleries, and a central park (p.33, Pembroke SGA Master Plan). SGAs are intended to be people-
centric, work towards complete multimodal transportation systems, and shift to denser, infill and redevelopment where
necessary.
Staff understands that the current development pattern in the Central Village is more autocentric, but the vision laid out
in the Pembroke SGA Master Plan envisions this District as a supporting residential and mixed-use area to Town Center.
Therefore, Staff recommends that this project is conditioned to be reevaluated after a five-year period as autocentric
uses are viewed as interim uses in Central Village District.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
This site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As the site is fully developed with impervious surface, there are no
known significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.

June 12, 2024, Public Meeting
Agenda Item # 7
VB Commercial Center, LLC
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Our next item is Item #7, Virginia Beach
Commercial Center.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, Madam Vice Chairman. Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach
Attorney, representing Virginia Beach Commercial Center, LLC. The
seven conditions as recommended in the staff report that Hoa Dao
did, and appreciate Kaitlen stepping in, are all acceptable to my
client, and we appreciate being on the consent agenda.
Ms. Cuellar: Fantastic. Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this item
being placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none, I've asked
Commissioner Byler to read this into the record.
Ms. Byler: The property in question is at 4944 Euclid Road. It is part of the
Central Village District of the Pembroke SGA. It has been used as
commercial parking lot since 2016 that is not anticipated to change.
What this essentially will do is to acknowledge that it is a commercial
parking lot, and there will be significant amount of landscaping and
other improvements to the fencing so as to make it more visually
attractive. This is just a five-year permission, and it will be reviewed
because ultimately we're hoping that this will be converted to some
use that is more in keeping with the Pembroke SGA and is more
community centric, but for now it will be an improvement.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, that is our last item on the
consent agenda. The Planning Commission places the following
Packet Pg. 374

Site Conditions and History
This 34,984 square foot parcel contains the Pacific Place Condominiums and is zoned OR Oceanfront Resort
District. According to City records, this multi‐family condominium was constructed in 1969.
On‐street parking is not permitted on this portion of Pacific Avenue.
Since this unit was not registered nor paying transient occupancy taxes to the Commissioner of the Revenue
prior to July 1, 2018, the unit would not be considered as grandfathered Short Term Rental and thus would
require a Conditional Use Permit prior to operating.
Known Short Term Rental activity as of May 22, 2024, is shown in the chart below:

5. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire five (5) years from the date of approval. The renewal process of this

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

already in that building. They’re prevalent throughout the property.
I think there are 16 already approved. There is one assigned parking
place associated with the unit, and all conditions seem acceptable
based on the considerations above and staff recommended approval
as well as the conditions. It is appropriate for the consent agenda.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: JEFF JAGLOWICZ [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 304 28th St, Unit 103 (GPIN
24280028661003). COUNCIL DISTRICT 6 (Remick)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Short Term
Rental in a two-bedroom unit of the Playa Rana Condominiums located at 304 28th
St, Unit 103.
A zoning complaint was made on February 26, 2024, for the operation of a Short
Term Rental without a Conditional Use Permit; however, the applicant has ceased
the illegal operation of the unit and has worked with staff to obtain this Conditional
Use Permit and come into compliance with the City Zoning Ordinance.
Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to operate a two-bedroom Short Term Rental within
the Playa Rana Condominium building. Short Term Rentals are prevalent on this
property with a total of 10 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 June 12, 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. The following conditions shall only apply to the dwelling unit addressed as 304
28th St, Unit 103, and the Short Term Rental use shall only occur in the principal

Background & Summary of Proposal
Attachment: 11_ARF Package for Jeff Jaglowicz (4053 : Jeff Jaglowicz (Applicant & Property Owner) Conditional Use Permit (Short Term
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, there is a past zoning violation from February 26, 2024,
for the advertising of a Short Term Rental without a Conditional Use Permit. Additionally, the last known rental
of this property was in September of 2023. The property owner has since removed the advertisements for this
unit, has ceased the short term rental of this property, and has worked with Staff to come into compliance with
the City Zoning Ordinance.
Since this property was not registered with the Commissioner of the 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 May 22, 2024, is shown in the chart below:

ITEM: GREEN CLEAN HOLLAND, LLC [Applicant] ALP & ALEX ASLAN [Property
Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Car Wash Facility) for the property located
at 4245 Holland Road (GPIN 1476963446). COUNCIL DISTRICT 10 (Rouse)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to adapt an existing, vacant
former Rite-Aid building for use as a Car Wash Facility. The subject property is
located in the Timberlake Shopping Center and under the Timberlake Land Use
Plan and is subject to the B-2 Community Business use table. The applicant’s
intent is to make minor alterations to the exterior of the building, including the
removal of the “Rite-Aid” gables, removal of the drive-thru canopy and drive-thru
lane, and addition of overhead garage doors to accommodate vehicular
ingress/egress. The adaptation would occur entirely within the building envelope.
The applicant is also proposing 17 exterior vacuum stations, 8 interior vacuum
stations, a new sidewalk to connect pedestrians from Holland Road to the interior
of the Timberlake Shopping Center, and enhanced landscaping.
Considerations:
While the proposed reuse of this building is innovative and though the concept plan
improves existing site landscaping, the overall use and proposal do not conform to
recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property has a
prominent location at the southwest corner of the intersection of Holland Road and
S Plaza Trail. The northern and eastern corners are already auto-centric uses—
an automobile service station and a drive-thru restaurant respectively—and the
addition of a Car Wash Facility would commit three of the four corners almost
exclusively to auto-oriented businesses.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as being part of the Suburban Area
and calls for complementary non-residential uses at edges of residential areas to
provide goods, services, and employment to nearby residents. While car washes
can be considered a complementary non-residential use, they are also strictly
auto-centric and auto-dependent. This area is further identified in the recently
adopted Commercial Area Pattern Book (CAPB) as an aging shopping center that
is ripe for redevelopment as a mixed-use center. Specifically, the CAPB
recommends outparcels of shopping centers like the Timberlake Shopping Center
to be redeveloped as “the face of the development and (extension of) the
neighborhood” in which is located. This proposal will reuse a building, but it does

Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
not meet these recommendations for mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented
redevelopment. Sustainable redevelopment goes beyond merely reusing a
building, especially when that reuse is dedicated to the continued service of
automobiles.
Lastly, the Holland Road Phase I CIP project is approved for this area of Holland
Road to reconfigure the roadway into a 6-lane superstreet. It will also add a
continuous 5-foot-wide sidewalk on both sides of Holland Road, LED streetlights,
and bus shelters. The project has not entered the design phase yet; it is uncertain
at this time if/how the project could affect this property and its access on Holland
Road.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff’s evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this request.
Recommendation:
On May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend denial
of this request by a vote of 8 to 3. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the submitted
concept site and landscaping plan entitled “Carwash Concept Virginia Beach,
VA”, prepared by Kimley-Horn, and dated 4/1/2024, which have been exhibited
to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach
Department of Planning.
2. The structure will be constructed in substantial conformance with the submitted
elevation entitled “Green Clean Express Auto Wash-4247 Holland Road,
Virginia Beach, VA” prepared by SBA Studios, and dated 4/9/2024, which has
been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia
Beach Department of Planning. The proposed structure shall be constructed of
a similar type of material, color, and trim as the existing structure.
3. The vacuum stations shall have an all-black assembly, including hoses,
receptacles, black posts, as depicted in the graphic as exhibited in the staff
report and prepared by the applicant, which has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community
Development.
4. Lights in the vacuum stations shall be turned off at the end of the business day.
5. All site lighting, including lighting on pay stations and vacuums, shall be white
light; no colored lighting is permitted.

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

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

The proposed reuse and redesign would improve some existing conditions of this outparcel, but this site would be better
suited for a non-auto-oriented use. Apartments east of the site across S. Plaza Trail will look directly out onto the facility
and its vacuum stations. The two corner lots on the north side of Holland Road are developed with a gas station and a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
drive-thru restaurant. Expanding this pattern to this property may lead to further erosion of people-centered
redevelopment potential.
With these considerations, Staff recommends denial of this application. Noting, however, the quality of the reuse
proposal, Staff has included a list of recommended conditions should Planning Commission find this to be an appropriate
use for this site.
Recommended Conditions
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the submitted concept site and landscaping plan
entitled “Carwash Concept Virginia Beach, VA”, prepared by Kimley-Horn, and dated 4/1/2024, which have been
exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning.
2. The structure will be constructed in substantial conformance with the submitted elevation entitled “Green Clean
Express Auto Wash-4247 Holland Road, Virginia Beach, VA” prepared by SBA Studios, and dated 4/9/2024, which has
been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning. The
proposed structure shall be constructed of a similar type of material, color, and trim as the existing structure.
3. The vacuum stations shall have an all-black assembly, including hoses, receptacles, black posts, as depicted in the
graphic as exhibited in the staff report and prepared by the applicant, which has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the Department of Planning & Community Development.
4. Lights in the vacuum stations shall be turned off at the end of the business day.
5. All site lighting, including lighting on pay stations and vacuums, shall be white light; no colored lighting is permitted.
6. Final design of the pay stations are subject to review and approval by the Planning Director during site plan review.
7. No window or outdoor advertising banners, pennants, streamers or other such visual devices beyond those
permitted by the City Zoning Ordinance shall be permitted on the property.
8. No water produced by activities at the facility lot shall be permitted to fall upon or drain across public streets or

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

Agenda Item # 5
Green Clean Holland LLC
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL
Clerk: Agenda Item Number 5 Green Clean Holland, LLC is a request for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Car Wash Facility at 4245 Holland Road
in District 10.
Mr. Alcaraz: Sir, if you can come up. Are you both going to speak?
Clerk: They're both with the applicant.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, well, I'll hear him and then you because you got to state your
name, if that's okay.
Greg Schmidt/Kimley Horn: Greg Schmidt with Kimley Horn. We are the agent
representing. Green Clean Holland LLC. I do want to start by thanking planning staff for
giving us a fair analysis of the benefits that this project does provide even though the
negative recommendation for denial.
I do want to talk a little bit about Green Clean and what that company is. It started as a
local family-owned-business and is still 100% locally operated with the main point of
contact managing all the day-to-day operations of the car washes that they own within
Hampton Roads. Green Clean provides a wide range of services from single washes to
memberships, to fleet services. They also focus on giving back to the communities in
which they serve. They have a Green Clean Cares program that offers grant application
opportunities that offers fund raising, and donation opportunities to give back to the
communities in which they serve. Green Clean does operate a number of car washes
within the City of Virginia Beach, and I highlight that to say that in each and every site that
they have developed, they have taken away a vagrant structure or a vacant structure,
and they've redeveloped it into something that is more modern, and more relevant to the
Packet Pg. 442
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
customers that they serve. Some of those include a vacant bank that sat vacant for many
years on Virginia Beach Boulevard, a dilapidated gas station on Shore Drive, and an old
self-serve car wash on south Military Highway. They always strive to be a good neighbor,
and with each and every of those redevelopment sites, they have worked closely with
staff to identify the specific architectural needs, landscaping needs, and site development
needs for that specific area of the city.
You know, I want to dive into. I have been asked many times what Green Clean means,
and I think there is a misconception about car washes, and their environmental impacts,
but in all reality the Green Clean motto and the way these car washes operate is they
prevent soaps from getting in the storm drain system, they reclaim water, and ultimately,
they provide a better site than the ones that they've previously inhabited. Very different
from most of us who might be washing our cars in their driveway.
What we are presenting here before the commission today, is an Adaptive Reuse. This
is a development opportunity that sets Green Clean apart from their peers in the carwash
industry. They are working to take the existing Rite Aid building at the corner of South
Plaza and Holland, keeping the building guts, and converting it into an automated car
wash tunnel, which will also feature interior vacuum spaces, and it will also have exterior
vacuum spaces that will be free to the community around it.
I do want to talk about the existing site a little bit. It was built in 1999 as a prototypical
Rite Aid Pharmacy. There is no existing connectivity for pedestrians to the building itself
or the Timberlake Shopping Center behind it. It also features dated architecture,
unmaintained landscaping, and is currently uninhabited. What this adaptive reuse project
does offer to the city is an opportunity to see improved vegetation with the proposed
Enhanced Landscape Plan, additional shared pedestrian connectivity to Timberlake
Shopping Center. The addition of landscaping and canopy trees along the sidewalk to
the south to Timberlake as well the proposed sidewalk with this project. It also features
enhanced architecture with wood facades and updating the paint colors on the existing
building to more natural earth tones. It also includes the reuse of much of the existing
infrastructure, decreasing the demand on the construction material industry, and
Packet Pg. 443
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
ultimately, the addition of the green space further reduces the impact on the storm water
runoff that currently exists at this property.
I think when we look at the commercial area pattern book, it talks a lot about neighborhood
adjacency, and compatibility pedestrian connectivity, and what the Holland Corridor could
be. I think we've worked closely with staff over the last number of months to come up
with a plan that addresses many of the initiatives that are presented in that area pattern
book for Holland Road, including the addition of sidewalks, the addition of canopy trees,
the improvement to the street frontage landscaping and buffering, and the improvements
to the architecture to make it more relevant and more current.
The one thing, I do want to touch on related to neighborhood compatibility this is
surrounded by a number of multi-family residential developments. One of the things that
many of us who have lived in an apartment at one point understand is, it is not easy to
wash your car, vacuum your car, in a multi-family apartment development. So, what this
actually provides is an opportunity to not have to run an extension cord of a window or
not have to use a dust buster for something that actually requires a legitimate vacuum,
and ultimately providing a more environmentally friendly way to wash your car. Given all
the improvements that have been proposed with this development, we do feel while the
use may not be the most desirable given the Commercial Area Pattern Book, it does strive
to achieve many of those with the things that I've laid out.
I do want to talk about the staff report’s reference to the Holland Road Phase 1 project.
This identifies a project that will expand Holland Road from four lanes to six, inclusive of
protected U-turn as a superstreet design. In my opinion in looking at this, and engineering
analysis, Holland Road currently sees 37,000 vehicles per day. The city has seen the
need to necessitate the CIP project, that will expand Holland Road to six lanes. This is a
corridor not necessarily designed around people, but designed around helping vehicles
get to and from their destinations. I personally commute on Holland Road from the Red
Mill area to Town Center each and every day with many of my fellow residents.
Packet Pg. 444
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
I do want to add also related to the neighborhood compatibility. Car washes have long
been a place that creates a sense of community where people bond over the care that
they put into their vehicles, where my wife and I can go to vacuum our cars without having
to mess with those fussy extension cords. I think it does continue to provide that given
the nature of the surrounding adjacent developments. In closing, there are currently
seven vacant Rite Aids in Virginia Beach alone. It is likely another six will become vacant
once the bankruptcy is completed. I'm not saying each and every one of them should
become a car wash or will become a car wash, but what we have here today is a project
with a developer motivated to be creative, to come up with better solutions for each and
every site that we pursue. A move to avoid urban blight, which can be so cancerous to
shopping centers and corridors. With that, I do appreciate your consideration of this
proposal, and I will be available for questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Are there any questions? Yeah. Mr. Plumlee?
Mr. Plumlee: Mr. Schmidt, how are you today?
Mr. Schmidt: Good. How are you doing, sir?
Mr. Plumlee: I'm doing well. Had there been a market study for this location by
the Green Company, because it was brought up at the informal that
there were a number of car washes in the vicinity. Can you address
that? Are you able to address that today?
Mr. Schmidt: I will let Mr. Van Breman address that.
Mr. Plumlee: Okay. I can save that question. Being with Kimley Horn, looking at
the Capital Improvement Project. Have you looked at the impact of
that project with the expansion to six lanes? And how that would
affect this location on the operation?
Packet Pg. 445
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
Mr. Schmidt: Yes, sir. I do believe we have enough room to accommodate the
expansion as currently described.
Mr. Plumlee: So, I heard this morning, a rough estimate of about 12 feet of a
taking, it could be more in that, but you believe that would remain,
this use could remain under those conditions?
Mr. Schmidt: Yes, sir.
Mr. Plumlee: Okay. As far as, this will remain owned by the same family that owns
it currently, the Aslands, is that correct?
Mr. Schmidt: I do have a clarification on that. Green Clean will be purchasing the
property, and the structure.
Mr. Plumlee: So they will be the owners of the property?
Mr. Schmidt: Yes, sir.
Mr. Plumlee: And they’re going to make quite an investment in that structure then,
a significant investment to convert it from its current retail use to the
car wash operation?
Mr. Schmidt: Yes, sir. That is correct.
Mr. Plumlee: Can you tell us what were some of the efforts that you made to try to
address the pedestrian aspect. I understand it's going to be next to
a super road. I’m not sure how many people are going to be walking
along that road, but what efforts did you make to try to address that?
If you could be specific.
Packet Pg. 446
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
Mr. Schmidt: Yeah. So, from the start of this project application, we went and sat
down with Ms. Nowak at the planning department to really discuss
what are the opportunities to make this as attractive as possible,
understanding the conflicts with the use, and the Commercial Area
Pattern Book. So, when we submitted the initial application, we did
not have the sidewalk and the landscaping that is at the top of the
screen here where the old pharmacy drive through was. We did not
have the additional landscaping along the existing sidewalk
connection, on the screen left. We also made a commitment to
planning that any sidewalk within the right of way along our frontage
that is not compliant with a five-foot minimum that we would improve
that as well with this project.
I think one of the things that you hear a lot about in terms of providing
nice pedestrian connectivity always comes down to the availability of
shade, and really being able to give people a spot where they're not
walking in the hot sun, in the middle of the summer to get to some of
these destinations. I think the one connection that exists, and the
one that is proposed do improve upon what exists today do provide
an opportunity for these to be nice pedestrian connections to
Timberlake Shopping Center, and ultimately the Holland Road
Network. The other thing we did do as well is with the removal of the
pharmacy canopy and window, that in the initial application we were
not making all that green space. We went back and revised that to
as green space and landscaping along that back wall to break up the
visibility of that facade.
Mr. Plumlee: So you're saying you added permeable surface?
Mr. Schmidt: Yes, sir. So, the plan will be removing the asphalt full depth. We will
be installing landscape planters along there with landscaping that will
screen that long facade from the right-of-way.

Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions? Yes, Mr. Parks.
Mr. Parks: Mr. Schmidt, do you, is this the first instance of taking a converted
building like this and turning it into a car wash? Is this going to be
one of the first ones or?
Mr. Schmidt: The city of Virginia beach is not the Guinea pig. This has been done
by Green Clean and Express Wash Concepts up in the Pennsylvania
market already, and Craig can elaborate on that, but they do have a
few of these operational where they've completed the conversion
and it's been successful. Last month we did get approval in
Chesapeake to do the same. Adaptive reuse of a ride aid on
Battlefield to a car wash. So that is proceeding into site plan design
now and hopefully construction sometime the end of this year.
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, any other questions?
Ms. Cuellar: I have one question. Mr. Schmidt, did you have an opportunity to
reach out to the residents on South Plaza Trail? If so, what was their
feedback?
Mr. Schmidt: We did not. It was hard to identify an organized group, so given the
nature of the adaptive reuse we were not able to identify specific
contact who set something up.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any other questions? All right. I am going to get the speaker, which
is representative of the ownership. State your name for the record?
Mr. Bremen: Good afternoon. My name is Craig Van Bremen. I'm the Chief
Development Officer for Express Wash Concepts. My address is
336 Bishop Gate Lane, Crozet, Virginia.
Packet Pg. 448
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
So, Express Wash Concepts, just a little bit about us. We have 95
sites in operation currently. We have about 16 under construction
currently, and that's across Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia,
and I think that’s it actually. So, locally, more locally here, we we've
given to across those 95 sides last year, we are very charity-minded
organization. We really want to grow our people from within, and we
want to support the communities that we serve as well, and with that
we give $400,000 to charity last year through our grand openings
and other care initiatives like Greg mentioned.
More locally, we have 14 green cleans currently operating the
Hampton Roads MSA, and one of the reasons that's so important,
we'll get to site selection, when there is a question on site selection
a little bit, but one of the reasons that's so important is because we
don't want to just provide jobs, people want to provide growth
opportunities to people. So, when you come to work at Green Clean,
you have an opportunity to start, and this happens throughout the
company. So, start working in the lot at $17 an hour and work your
way up to assistant site manager, where you're making $45,000 to
$55,000 an hour [sic., a year]. Then you can have your own site and
be a site manager making $75,000 to $80, 000 an hour [sic., a year],
and then if you make it up to area manager, you can be making over
$100,000. We'd love to have college educated people, but this also
is in a pathway for somebody that doesn’t have a college degree. If
you come in, you work hard, you learn the job, you can move up
within the company, and those are the kinds of opportunities that we
really want to provide to folks that work for Green Clean Auto Wash
and work for Express Wash Concepts.
This facility along with some of the other ones that we've recently
developed on Shore Drive, and I want to thank staff because the
Packet Pg. 449
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
Shore Drive product has turned out excellent. I was just there
actually before, and I encourage you to go look at that. All of the
locations we do, we talk about being Disney-perfect, and we really
want to provide a great product that includes the enhanced
landscaping. That's something that we work with cities on, but that's
something that we just as core to us and that we want to do in
general. So, that Shore Drive location is a great example of what we
want to do. I can see us using that building in other places as well,
because it turned out so well. So, thank you Staff for helping us to
bring that to fruition.
Greg already mentioned the benefits of washing with Green Clean
from an environmental standpoint, so I won't go through that. When
we talk about density, density is really important to our business. We
have under unlimited wash club members that the more the locations
that we can provide, the more value there is to their membership.
So, when they buy a membership, not only does their pass work at
Shore Drive, but it also works at the other 95 locations that we have
and the 14 locations within Hampton Roads, and we really want to
serve our customers where they need to be served. So, we identified
this Holland Road corridor years ago as an area that we wanted to
be. We are very data driven and we look at demographics. We look
at vehicles per day. We look at retail. We look at competition. We
look at all of those things, and we targeted this area years ago. We
actually had the old Wells Fargo back in contract, and because of
just site constraints, and similar things that were going on at the time,
we actually backed away from that site. We've been working on the
Title Max parcel across the street, and this site came available, and
had the opportunity to buy it and it's a great opportunity for us to do
our adaptive reuse.
Packet Pg. 450
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
As Greg mentioned, we've actually completed three of these
drugstore conversions. One's in Cleveland. We have two in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they have turned out amazing.
Customers love the interior vacuums. Customers love the way that
you come through the building. I understand that some don't love
the car wash use, but sometimes the economics of where we are, if
you look at this building, Rite Aid was a pretty powerful company for
a very long time, and they could garner large rents. There's not too
many companies with the experience and with the economic strength
that can come in and do an adaptive reuse like this. We have the
experience to do that. We, actually our business model, supports
actually acquiring a building like this. So, with that, Greg's already
walked through the site specifics, but I'll pause for any questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, thank you. Mr. Plumlee?
Mr. Plumlee: Yeah, I had asked earlier about this market. There were, as I
mentioned at the informal meeting, that there were other car washes
within this vicinity, and can you address the workup that you've done
to look at the market?
Mr. Bremen: Yeah, we always look at the competition very heavily. I think there's
a competitor just down the street. Frankly, we offer a different
product than they did. They have some self-serve automatic bays
out there, which are great for people that want that product and want
to be able to wash their car themselves. They also do have some
smaller tunnels, but that's not really what we do. We really focus on
being in the convenient right place, so that you can wash your car
quickly, that you can do your interior free vacuums, and that you can
move on. The demographics there, definitely support demographics,
and the strength of just the number of people, the number of vehicles
around that area are really what would drive whether or not site
Packet Pg. 451
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
works for us, and when we look at those 95 stores that we have
across our portfolio, we've identified the key performance indicators
in data of what drives site performance. In this particular area, even
with that competition that's put into our model, we believe this is a
very strong site for us.
Mr. Plumlee: Mr. Schimdt had mentioned that this is actually going to be a
purchase by your corporation of this property. So, it's not just
redevelopment for the owner. It actually allows them to be relieved
of the obligation of keeping this empty building for who knows how
long waiting for someone to come along that is willing to take it on.
So, this is where you transfer and ownership as well. Is that
accurate?
Mr. Bremen: That’s accurate, and it behoves us to move as quickly as possible
through the right approvals and to get construction done as quickly
as possible, and get the renovations done so we can get open for
business as quickly as possible.
Mr. Plumlee: Is there anything that you wanted to add to the question about
pedestrian friendly layout?
Mr. Bremen: I think Greg is best positioned to answer that. I mean, we always
want to do all we can to be a good partner in the community. So, if
there's additional ideas that staff can come up with of ways that the
site can work in their master plan, we are all ears and we'll be happy
to support.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Ms. Byler: If you could please clarify on your site plan, and I may be wrong, but
as I understand it, our Active Transportation Plan shows that there
Packet Pg. 452
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
should be five foot or more in width along South Plaza Trail, and that
your proposal has no change to the existing three-foot sidewalk.
Ms. Bremen: I will have to defer it to Mr. Schmidt on that.
Mr. Schmidt: We had discussed that with staff. We are committed to upgrading
the sidewalks along both frontages to achieve a minimum of five feet
in width. So, if we, I don't remember if that was in the draft conditions
off the top of my head, but we can add that as a condition.
Ms. Byler: Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Hippen: So you spoke of demographics, but you said that you haven’t spoken
to the people that live in this area. So, the question is, how do you
know that this is the ideal business location if you haven't spoken to
the people that live around the area. I'm very familiar with the area,
by the way, and I know of what you speak of the demographics.
There's an apartment complex right across the street. There are very
close homes in the area where there, you know, they're very close
together. There are also town homes in the area. So, the question
is, how do you know that this is what the neighborhood wants?
Mr. Bremen: Yeah, just for clarity, when I speak of demographics, I mean, the
demographics in the area. So, the number of households with areas,
not the specific makeup of like a particular neighborhood or talking
to a particular neighborhood. I just mean, there's enough people
within the area that we believe will be drawn to this area that will
support our business as far as the neighbors across the street. We
also believe that based on our other locations in Virginia Beach, that
people will want to buy an unlimited wash club membership here. It's
very similar in a lot of ways to the other sites that we have. So, if we
use that kind of as a template to say, is this a good location? We do
Packet Pg. 453
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
believe that the folks in the area will shop and we'll wash their car at
our location.
Ms. Hippen: Okay. You spoke of the car wash that's there where Independence
becomes Holland. Okay, but if you go the other way, you have, Car
Spa, which is at the corner of Lynnhaven and Holland, okay, and
then we just approved a car detailing business in that very shopping
center [Timberlake Shopping Center]. So, my question still remains,
if you haven't spoken to the people that live in that area, if you haven't
reached out to the community, how do you know that this business
is going to be fruitful given the fact that this is not what the
Comprehensive Plan is looking to place in this area?
Mr. Bremen: I go back to the 95 sites that we've developed, and the other sites
within Hampton Roads. We look for those similar things and we do
take into account the competition is actually the Freedom Wash is a
little bit different in the product that they offer. The Car Spa is a little
bit different too. I believe that one has full service as well. That's not
what we do. So, the product's a little bit different. I know it seems
like you're just watching a car, but the product is genuinely different.
So, giving folks the opportunity to use their money to spend it to wash
the way that they want, and we think we can provide a more
economical better benefit than our competitors also, right? We think
that our washcloth price is probably more reasonably than anyone
else's and you get a better product. So, it really is the free market
coming in. We feel like that key things that we look for in site
selection all exist at this location. That is why we are so excited
about.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Thank you. Any other questions, Ms. Byler.

Ms. Byler: There's also a car wash, I'm sure you're familiar with on
Independence and Edwin, which is a mile or maybe less from this.
So that's like three car washes in less than a mile. So, while yours
might be best, then I guess that means it's taking business away from
the others.
Mr. Bremen: I don't look at that way. I think we're growing the pie. If you look at
just car wash statistics overall, there's more people, more people
coming to wash their car at a car wash than washing in their
driveway. So, it's not taking, it's not an end some game, right? Like
it's not, we're taking their customers, we're adding to the pie. It's
actually what we want. We want people to come wash in a
professional car, wash it. So, they're not washing in their driveway
using 10 times more water or putting detergents down the storm
sewer.
Ms. Byler: Thank you. I appreciate your comments.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Any other questions for the applicant, and its
representative. None. Just have a seat. I am going to close it now.
Mr. Plumlee: I would like to make some comments and address this. I mean, we're
a country of over 300 million cars. We're not going to turn into a
pedestrian community overnight next to a super road. I do worry
about blight at these locations when you have empty structures for
long periods of time. When families have opportunities to transition
these sites, they don't come that often and it can be not an ideal,
perfect business and sometimes we're in the business of judging
what's ideal, and sometimes we're trying to judge what's best in the
moment and what's not perfect. I don't see this as a perfect
application, and obviously there are issues with the comp plan, but
we have in the past proceeded to recommend projects like these. I
Packet Pg. 455
6.J.a
Attachment: 12_ARF Package for Green Clean Holland, LLC (4054 : Green Clean Holland, LLC [Applicant] Alp & Alex Aslan [Property Owners]
do worry about something sitting empty for long periods of time, and
that we're not going to have an applicant with the strength that this
applicant has to come in. So, for those reasons, I would support a
motion. Obviously, the motion should include that there be a five-
foot width sidewalk. I think it should include that. So, I would support
that motion and make that motion if I get support for it.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, Mr. Plumlee, any other comments?
Ms. Hippen: So there's been a lot of discussion over several months about the
Comprehensive Plan and us sticking to what we foresee that should
come in these different areas. I went out to this area, and like I said,
I'm very familiar with the area. I used to use Car Spa, okay? I
stopped using them. I use somebody else now. There are a lot of
car washes in that area. I think that we should stick to the
Comprehensive Plan in this case, and your business model sounds
great. Please don’t get me wrong, and that it sounds great. I just
don’t think that this is the area for it. I do believe that, that the Rite
Aid folks will find someone to take that building over or to take that
area over, and my biggest concern is that you haven't talked to
people that live in the area to get a feel for what they're looking for in
their neighborhood as well. That's one thing that I think you should
do every other thing that we go through and approve. We've got
letters, we've got notification to the people that live around it, and
they're talked to, and I think that's just one thing that an amazing plan
that she didn't do that that you should have done for this area.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Thank you. Any other comments or discussions. All right.
I have a motion, but by Mr. Plumlee. I need a second.

[Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Indoor Recreation Facility) for the
property located at 2058 S. Independence Boulevard (GPIN 1485352650).
COUNCIL DISTRICT 10 (Rouse)
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to operate an Indoor Recreation
Facility in a 59,643 square-foot vacant building in an existing shopping center. This
facility would be a multi-activity venue for patrons to partake in activities like go-
karting and laser tag. The property is located in the Green Run Land Use Plan
which designates this area appropriate for commercial or multi-family use.
No exterior alterations are proposed with the exception of new signage posted on
the building’s front and the addition of a bicycle rack at the front of the unit. Hours
of operation will be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and
8:00 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. 60 full-time and 40 part-time employees
are expected. Parking provided on-site exceeds the requirement by 175 spaces.
Considerations:
Staff finds the proposed use to be an appropriate use for a vacant unit within the
shopping center. As a non-residential use in the Suburban Area, as defined by the
Comprehensive Plan, the location of this proposed recreation facility near
established neighborhoods and multimodal pathways aligns with
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Traffic volume is not expected to
be impacted on S. Independence Boulevard or Princess Anne Road due to the
nature of this business being utilized outside peak weekday traffic hours. To
forward goals in the Active Transportation Plan, the applicant was agreeable to
adding a bicycle rack on site. One letter of opposition was received after the June
12th Planning Commission hearing with concerns about security and property value
of neighboring residents. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as
Staff’s evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
Recommendation:
On June 12, 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: 13_ARF Package for Hussain Surani (4055 : Hussain Surani (Applicant) RSS WFCM2015-NXS4-VA-PAD, LLC (Property Owner)
The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to operate an Indoor Recreation Facility in a vacant building near
the intersection of S. Independence Boulevard and Buckner Boulevard on property zoned PD‐H1 Planned Unit
Development.
Planned Unit Development Districts with commercial areas of three acres or more are limited to principal uses
permitted in the B‐2 Community Business Districts. Indoor Recreation Facilities greater than 7,500 square feet in the
B‐2 District require a Conditional Use Permit. Since the subject building is 59,643 square feet, a Conditional Use
Permit is required.
The project site falls within the Green Run Land Use Plan. On July 9, 1996, an amendment to redesignate this site
from multi‐family to commercial and/or multi‐family use was approved by City Council.
This facility will provide activities and entertainment for all ages including an electric go‐kart track, laser tag area,
ropes course, XD theater, party rooms, office spaces, arcade games and a restaurant/bar area. There is currently no
plan to sell alcohol.
Hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to midnight Friday and
Saturday. 60 full‐time and 40 part‐time employees are expected.
Exterior alterations are limited to the installation of new signage. There is an existing bicycle rack at the building’s
front façade that will remain for patrons and employees to use.
Per Section 203(a)(33) of the Zoning Ordinance, one parking space is required for every 250 square feet for a
shopping center of this size. At approximately 183,257 square feet, a total of 733 parking spaces would be required
for the shopping center. With 908 existing parking spaces, the shopping center exceeds the parking requirement by
175 spaces.

Evaluation & Recommendation
In Staff’s opinion, this request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate an Indoor Recreation Facility is acceptable. A large
indoor recreation facility is compatible with this larger‐scale neighborhood shopping center as it caters to a variety of
age ranges and there is adequate parking to support the proposed use. This proposal also, in Staff’s opinion, supports
the Comprehensive Plan’s principle to create and maintain “Great Neighborhoods” as this non‐residential use is
complementary to the surrounding residential areas. Staff is supportive of this request, as it is a resident‐oriented reuse
of the former grocery store within the shopping center.
The segments of Princess Anne Road and S. Independence Boulevard fronting this site are currently functioning at near
capacity and over capacity respectively. However, staff does not anticipate a significant change in traffic based on the
proposed hours of operation. This facility will not be open during weekday morning peak hours nor is it expected that
this use will generate as much traffic as a commercial use would in weekday afternoon peak hours.
The applicant is aware of the Active Transportation Plan’s goals for the City and was agreeable to provide a bicycle rack
on site to accommodate those who choose to cycle to this indoor recreation facility.
Based on these considerations, Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions listed below.

Agenda Item # 14
Hussain Surani
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Item #14, Hussain Surani. Welcome.
Mr. Korte: My name is Kyle Korte. I'm an attorney with Wolcott Rivers in Virginia
Beach. I represent the applicant for agenda item 14, which relates
to a conditional use permit for an indoor recreational facility at 2058
South Independence Boulevard, and each of the conditions
suggested by staff are acceptable.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none, I've asked
Commissioner Parks to read this into the record.
Mr. Parks: Thank you. The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to
operate an indoor recreational facility in a vacant building near the
intersection of South Independence Boulevard and Buckner
Boulevard. The facility will provide activities and entertainment for
all ages including electric go-karts, laser tag, rope course, and
various other activities. Hours of operation will be 02:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 11:00 a.m. to midnight
Friday, and 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sunday. Hearing no
opposition, we recommended that it be placed on the consent
agenda.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Virginia Beach. Do not click links or open attachments
unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Great Afternoon,
First to refresh your memory. I spoke with both of you after the Planning
Commission's meeting on Wednesday. I am the HOA President at Buckner Woods
Condominiums. Hope this helps.
You asked me to send you an email expressing my concerns with this application,
since I was ignorant of having to register to speak in person during the meeting.
My concerns are:
1) Being a community of 160 units with most of our residents being Senior single
females, Senior couples, and families with young children, there is without a doubt a
huge concern about security. The only thing that separates Buckner Woods and the
rear of that building (the Old Farm Fresh) is our white vinyl fence anyone could
simply step over.
2) The time of Surani's proposed hours of operation which were expanded.
The obvious problem with the closing time of midnight on weekends. With scores of
young people exiting at that hour, we surely don't want them wandering onto our
property.
3) This news was even more unwelcomed given that the VBCDC and NAMI have a
proposed affordable housing project planned right on the other side of our
community. Add to that the hotel that is being built just across the street, we are being
bombarded.
4) That leads to a real concern for our property values. This cannot be good.
Mr. Parks and Ms. Alcock, please take a serious look at this. I really don't want to feel
that no one cares. I'm not sure where the application stands at this point, whether it's
been approved or not. Is that something you can keep me informed on?

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 106 OF THE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO NOTICES OF PUBLICATION.
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2024
Background:
The purpose of this amendment is to align the City Zoning Ordinance with a recent
State Code amendment regarding public notification requirements for the Board of
Zoning Appeals (BZA). Currently, the City Zoning Ordinance states that a notice
shall be published once a week for two successive weeks. Further, the notice must
be posted not more than fourteen days before the intended adoption of the item.
This amendment would modify the Ordinance to require that a notice be posted
twice in a newspaper, not more than 28 days prior to the meeting with the second
notice appearing no less than seven days before the meeting.
Considerations:
This amendment will bring consistency between the language of the Zoning
Ordinance and the requirements recently adopted by the General Assembly. The
State required notification practices are already being met by the Zoning Division.
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 June 12, 2024, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this item on the Consent Agenda, by a recorded vote of 11-0.

Planning Commission Public Hearing June 12, 2024
Attachment: 00_ARF Package for ZOA Notices of Publication (Sec. 106) (4056 : City of Virginia Beach – An Ordinance to amend Section 106 of
Notices of Publication
Request
An Ordinance to amend Section 106 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to notices of publication.
Summary of Request
Section 106 of the Zoning Ordinance identifies the procedures for appeals and variances being considered by the Board
of Zoning Appeals. More specifically, Section 106 (a) lists all the requirements for public notification. Senate Bill 413 was
recently adopted by the General Assembly which modified these notification requirements. This proposed amendment
makes the Zoning Ordinance consistent with the adopted legislation.
The current requirements of the Zoning Ordinance state that a notice shall be published once a week for two successive
weeks (successive weeks meaning that there is not less than six days between publications). The notice must be posted
not more than fourteen days before the intended adoption of the item. This request would modify the Ordinance to
require that a notice be posted twice in a newspaper, not more than 28 days prior to the meeting with the second notice
appearing no less than seven days before the meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance. While the notification practices of the zoning division currently meet the
requirements recently adopted by the General Assembly, this request will bring consistency between the language of
the Zoning Ordinance and the adopted State legislation.

Agenda Item # 1
City of Virginia Beach
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you. At this time, I'm going to pass it on to our Vice
Chair to go ahead with the consent agenda.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. We have 12 items on the
consent agenda today, and these are applications that are
recommended for approval by staff, and the Planning Commission
concurred, and there are no speakers signed up in opposition. Our
first item is Agenda Item #1, City of Virginia Beach.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you, Chairman, Vice Chair, and members of the Commission.
For the record, I'm Kevin Kemp, Zoning Administrator for the City.
This first item is an amendment to Section 106 of the Zoning
Ordinance, which describes the rules and procedures for the Board
of Zoning Appeals. This is a clean-up amendment. The state
recently passed Legislation Bill 413, which changed the notification
requirement. This makes our ordinance consistent with that state
legislation. Just to note, our current practices do adhere to the new
state legislation. This just cleans it up. The new notification per our
ordinance will be that notices shall be posted twice in a newspaper,
not more than 28 days prior to a meeting with a second notice, not
more than seven days before the meeting and staff is recommended
approval.
Ms. Cuellar: Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the consent agenda? Okay, we'll then move forward to
our next item. Item #4 and #5, Autobell Car Wash. Is there a
representative here today?
