ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR

COMMLNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

February 18,2020

The Honorable Linda Johnson Mayor of Suffolk 442W Washington Street l st Floor Suffolk, YA23434

Dear Mayor Johnson:

I am pleased to inform you of your jurisdiction's Fiscal Year (F\) 2020 allocations for the Office of Community Plaruring and Development's (CPD) formula programs, which provide funding for housing, community and economic development activities, and assistance for low- and moderate-income persons and special needs populations across the country. President Trump signed Public Law I 16-94 onDecember 2}th,2Ol9,which includes FY 2020 funding for these programs. Yourjurisdiction's FY 2020 available amounts are as follows: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) HOME Investment Partnerships (FIOME) Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Emergency Solutions Grant @SG)

$480,588 $386,943

$o $o

This letter highlights several important points related to these programs. We remind grantees that CPD seeks to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide decent housing and suitable living environments while expanding economic opportunities for lowand moderate-income and specialneeds populations, including people living with HIV/AIDS. The primary means towards this end is the development of partnerships among all levels of govemment and the private sector, including both for-profit and non-profit organizations.

Based on your jurisdiction's CDBG allocation for this year, you also have $2,402,940 in available Section 108 bonowing authority. Since Section 108 loans are federally guaranteed, this program can leverage your jurisdiction's existing CDBG firnding to access low-interest, long-term financing to invest in Opporlunity Zones or other targetareas in your jurisdiction.

Because the funds are not appropriated by Congress, Housing Trust Fund (HTF) formula allocation will be announced at a later date under separate cover.

HIID continues to emphasize the importance of effective performance measurements in all its formula grant programs. Proper reporting in the lntegrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) is criticalto ensuring grantees are complying with program requirements and

policies, providing demographic and income information about

espanol.hud.gov

peisons that benefited from a

of

communityrs activities, and allowing HIID to monitor grantees. Your ongoing attention to ensuring complete and accurate reporting ofperformance measurement data continues to be an invaluable resource with regard to the impact ofthese formula grant programs.

The Office of Community Planning and Development is looking forward to working with you to promote simple steps that will enhance the performance of these critical programs and successfully meet the challenges that our communities face. If you or any member of your staff have questions, please contact your local CPD Office Director.

Sincerely,

ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMLINITY PI-ANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

4pi12,2020

The Honorable Linda Johnson Mayor of Suffolk 442W Washington Street lst Floor Suffolk, VA23434 Dear Mayor Johnson:

I am pleased to inform you of a special allocation to your jurisdiction of Communify Development Block Grant frrnds to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19). This allocation was authorizedby the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Public Law 1 t6-t36,which was signed by President Trump on March 27,2020, to respond to the growing effects of this historic public health crisis.

The CARES Act made available $5 billion in Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds. Of this amount, the Department is immediately allocating $2 billion based on the fiscal year 2020 CDBG formula. The remaining $3 billion .t utt U" allocated based on needs using best available data, in the following tanches: $1 billion shall be allocated to States and insular areas within 45 days of enacfrnent of the Cares Act, and $2 billion shall be distributed to states and local govemments at the discretion of the Secretary. Up to $10 million will be set aside for technical assistance. Given the immediate needs faced by o*.o*.rrrrrities, the Deparlment has arurormced the first allocation of funds. Yourjurisdiction's allocation is $282,715.

The CARES Act adds additional flexibiliff for both the CDBG-CV grant and, in some cases, for ttre annual FY2020 CDBG grants in these unprecedented times. fhe pubtic comment period is reduced to not less than 5 days, grantees may use virtual public hearings when necesrury ttor public health reasons, the public services cap is suspended during the emergency, and States and local govemments may reimburse costs of eligible activities incurred for pandemic response regardless of the date.

In addition, the CARES Act authorizes the Secretary to grant waivers and altemative requirements of statutes and regulations the Secretary administers in connection with the use of CDBG-CV funds and flscal year 2019 and2020 CDBG funds (except forrequirements related to fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, and the environment).

Waivers and alternative requirements can be granted when necessary to expedite and facilitatethe use of funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.

The Deparlment is developing a notice that will fuither describes the CARES Act,s provisions, a Quick Guide to the CARES Act flexibilities and other provisions, and other resources

www.hud.gov

espanol.hud.gov

to enable sw'ift implementation of cDBG-cv grants. As these become available, they will be posted on HIID's website and distributed to grantees. The Departrnent will also suppofi grantees

with technical assistance.

As you develop your plan for the use of these grant funds, we encouage you to consider pno;1ir" 16s rrnique needs of 1ow- and moderate-income persons and the development of partrerships between all levels of govemment and the private for-profit and nonprofit sectors. You should coordinate with state and local health authorities before undertaking any activity to support state or local pandemic response. CDBG-CV grants will be subject to oversighi, reporting, and requirements that each grantee have adequate procedues to prevent the duplication ofbenefits. HUD will provide guidance and technical assistance on DOB and regarding -irevention of fraud, waste, and abuse and docrrmenfing the impact of this program for beneficiariei.

CASE HISTORY:

In

1987, City Council approved the Harbour View Planned Development-Housing District, which rezoned properties along the Harbour View Boulevard corridor to a mixture of residential

City Council JuJy 15,2020

MN2019-010 Page 2 of 9

and commercial zoning. The Planned Development-Housing District included property owned

by Dominion Land Management Company immediately to the south of the General Electric Plant. In 1992, Dominion Lands separated from the Harbour View development partnership to establish the Bridgeway Commerce Park, a light industrial park extending from the Nansemond River to Harbour View Boulevard and along the east side of Harbour View Boulevard adjacent to Interstate 664. Suffolk Towers, LLC purchased 298.42 acres in Bridgeway Commerce Park, then sold 163.82 acres of undeveloped property on the west side of Harbour View Boulevard to Bridgeway Limited Partnership, the developers of the Riverfront residential community to the south. The subject parcel remained part of the Harbour View Business Park, which was intended to accommodate general business and light industry.

In2004, City Council approved Rezoning Request RZ03-03 to rezone properties on the east and west sides of Harbour View Boulevard identified as Bridgeway Commerce Park, which created a new Planned Development Overlay District. The rezoning request also amended the previously approved 'Riverfront Residential Master Plan' as part of the Harbour View Planned Development-Housing District. Since the rezoning established a new Planned Development Overlay District, a jobs-to-housing ratio was established in accordance with Section 31-410 (c) (3) such that250 squa.re feet of office space is required per dwelling unit.

The subject parcel was rezoned from M-1, Light Industrial zoning district to O-I, OfficeInstitutional zoning district in 2004 under application RZ03-04. This parcel was part of the overall Bridgeway Commerce Park Master Plan that was rezoned in2004 to O-I. PUBLIC NOTICE: This request has been duly advertised in accordance with the public notice requirements set forth in Section 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, andwiththe applicable provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance. A notice, containing a copy of the staff report, was also provided to the applicant on June 12,2020 and July 10,2020.

STAFF ANALYSIS ISSUE:

The applicant is requesting to rezone the rear portion of the subject properly from OI, Office Institutional zoning district, to RU-12, Residential Urban-l2 zoning district, to construct a residential Active Adult development. The age restricted development is to consist of townhomes, 4-plex units, and a multi-family building. The subject property is currently undeveloped and consists mostly of open fields and forested land. Approximately 6.9 acres of the property along Harbour View Boulevard is proposed to remain O-I leaving 34.4 acres to be rezoned to RU-12. Wetlands were identified on the site extending from rear of the property across the southem property line covering approximately I 1.69 acres. As presented and proffered by the applicant, the development would yield no more than237 residential units, which equates to a density of 10.4 units per acre a little less than the maximum of 12 units per acre permitted in the RU-12 zoning district. The proposed RU-12, Residential Urban-l2 zoning district, would allow for a significantly lower density than the recommendation of 25-40 dwelling units per acre recommended in the 2035 Comprehensive Plan for the Mixed Use Core Use District.

City Council July 15,2020

MN20r9-010 Page 3

of9

The applicant has proffered an exhibit that designates a density for different unit types in the proposed age-restricted development and has dedicated acreage for the town green and the conservation area that consist of wetlands. The Proposed Land Use Plan, attached as Exhibit E, proffers a density of 6.3 dwelling units per acre for townhomes, a density of 5.5 dwelling units per acre for 4-plex units, and a density of 31.1 dwelling units per acre for multi-family units.

Additionally, a conceptual plan was submitted but not proffered, which shows of the 237 units, 71 units are to be constructed as townhouses, 30 units are to be 4-plex units, and 136 units are to be located in a multi-family building. The conceptual plan is consistent with the proffered acres and density for each unit type.

Lastly, the applicant voluntarily proffered various exterior building fagade materials for the proposed age restricted development, such as cultured stone, brick or masoffy veneer, and fiber cement building materials. Please refer to the attached proffer statement.

CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

In accordance with Appendix B, Section B-4 of the Unified Development Ordinance, rezoning applications must include a statement of the reasons for seeking an amendment to the zoning maps of the City of Suffolk. Supplemental information was provided by the applicant and states that the reason for seeking the proposed rezoning is that Parcel 11 has been designed as an urban Active Adult neighborhood to support the surrounding commercial uses. Commercial parcels have been proposed to remain as O-I fronting Harbour View Boulevard and the main entrance into the site. The narrative provided by the applicant states that it is critical for growth and development in Harbour View to maintain a certain amount of commercial property for research and development, medical offices, retail, civic space, etc. Job creation should be supported by a mix of housing types per the Unified Development Ordinance. This rezoning requests a portion of the site to be rezoned to high density residential to establish and enhance economic diversity and vitality, and create a more efficient pattern of development.

Additionally, the narrative provided by the applicant states that research has indicated several reasons why Office-Institutional land area is becoming less and less attractive in the Hampton Roads Region. Leaving this site in its entirety as O-I would create a vehicle dependent site with no opportunity for place making. A portion of parcel 11 has developed with Bickford Senior Living. Continued growth of commercial is anticipated along the frontage of Parcel 1 1. To attract a multistory user, the applicant anticipates that the acreage of the site that does not front onto Harbour View Boulevard be rezoned to a residential mix. The Harbour View Blvd. corridor, where medical and retail are accessible by car, foot, or mass transit, is an ideal location for an active adult housing community according to several national and regional standards. The introduction of active adult residential will lend itself to being the support use needed to sustain the commercial development along Harbour View Boulevard and within Northern Suffolk.

1.

Comprehensive Plan

According to the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is located within the Northern Growth Atea, Mixed Use Core Use District. This district is the densest use district. The Mixed Use Core Use District is intended to provide an area for high intensity business, retail, residential, and civic uses. The Northern Mixed Use Core District has significant amounts of greenfield development opportunities that can build on the

City Council July 15,2020 RZN2019-010 Page 4

of9 businesses. The density and types of uses should encourage walkable mixed use neighborhoods with a vertical orientation. The non-residential uses that can be found within the district include retail in a vertical scale, office, research and development, and civic buildings and community facilities. The housing type that should be found in this district includes multi-family dwellings, such as apartment buildings and condos. The recommended place types include Urban Neighborhoods and Town Centers. Urban neighborhoods generally have buildings that are street oriented with access being located at the rear of building. Additionally, public spaces are encouraged such as greens and parks. Overall, a range of housing types should be provided on small lots at a density of 25-40 dwelling units per acre and a floor area ratio of 2.0-5.0 for non-residential development. successes

of the existing high technology

The Comprehensive Plan sets specific themes and policies related to land use, transportation, open space, and the environment that should be considered when contemplating a rezoning application. Relevant to this application are the following:

Policy 2-1: Keep development focused in designated Growth Areas in the City. o Action 2-lA: Ensure that the City's land use regulations support higher dens ity/int e ns ity dev e I op me nt i n fo cu s e d Gr ow t h Ar e as.

The overall density of 10.4 units per acre is a little less than the maximum of 12 units per acres for the RU-12 zoning district, but is significantly lower than the Mixed Use Core Use District recommendation of 25-40 units per acre. The applicant has proffered a Proposed Land Use Plan for the subject property that designates a density for each unit type. The applicant has proffered a density of 6.3 dwelling units per acre for the townhomes, a density of 5.5 dwelling units per acre for the 4-plex units, and a density of 31.1 dwelling units per acre for the multi-family building. The overall density for the proposed development of 237 units is not compatible with the Mixed Use Core District; however, broken down by unit type the portion of the property that is to consist of a multi-family building would meet the recommended density with a proposed density of 31.1 units per acre. While the envisioned development of the site overall would not meet the densities established for the Mixed Use Core in the Comprehensive Plan, it is important to note that a portion of the proposed development is consistent with the recommended density for the Use District and would provide a high density development.

Policy 2-3: Promote a balance of residential and non-residential land uses. o Action 2-3A: Continue to develop implementation tools that will help achieve an appr opr i ate j ob s -to -housing r atio. o Action 2-38: Continue to promote ffirts to facilitate the retention and expansion of ffice, research and development, and manufacturing activity in Suffolk.

The applicant has requested to rezone the rear portion of the property from O-I, Office Institutional zoning district, to RU-12, Residential Urban-|2 zoning district to construct a 237 age restricted development. The front portion of the property is proposed to remain O-I with the intent to develop that portion of the site for commercial and office uses. The subject property fronts along Harbour View Boulevard, this stretch of Harbour View

City Council July 15,2020 RZN20l9-010 Page 5

of9 Boulevard north of Hampton Roads Parkway consists of property zoned for commercial, office, and light industrial uses. The front portion of the property to remain O-I has the opportunity to be developed into office, medical office, research and development, and civic uses, which is beneficial for the continuation of this part of the commercial and office corridor.

Given a total of 6 developable acres to remain O-I, a maximum floor area ratio of 0.60 permitted in the O-I district, the O-I portion of the property has the potential to accommodate approximately 156,816 square feet of non-residential uses. This translates into the potential to generate approximately 627 jobs. Additionally, the rear portion of the property proposed to be developed as an age restricted residential development would serve to support the commercial and office related uses in the front. Overall, the zoning provides for both commercial and residential uses in this location and contributes toward maintaining the balance of residential and non-residential uses.

Policy 2-4: Promote compatibility in land use patterns.

The applicant has requested to rezone the rear portion of the subject property from O-I zoningto RU-12 zoning. The front portion of the property will remain O-I zoning district to provide the opportunity to utilize the property for commercial and office related uses.

The age restricted development is proposed to consist of a higher density multifamily building followed by a lower density 4-plex and townhouse development. The proffered Proposed Land Use Plan shows the multi-family building being street oriented and designates 2.3 acres for a town green which is encourage within an urban neighborhood.

The Proposed Land Use Plan also proffers a density of 6.3 dwelling units per acre for the townhomes, a density of 5.5 dwelling units per acre for the 4-plex units, and a density of 31.1 dwelling units per acre for the multi-family building. The front portion of the property to remain O-I zoning district followed by a high density multi-family building oriented to the street would provide a natural transition from Harbour View Boulevard to the rear of the property that would have lower density 4-plex units and townhomes.

Additionatly, the lot to the northwest of the subject property has an assisted living facility that is similar to and compatible with the proposed Active Adult development.

Policy 6-1: Encourage development of a balanced and diverse housing stock throughout the City. o Action 6-IA: Ensure thqt the City's land use regulations allow fo, a variety of housing types, such as single-family detached, single-family attached, and multifamily. o Action 6-lJ: Allow opportunities for retirement housing.

The proposed development would provide a variety of three different housing types. The approved development would increase the number of townhouses, 4-plex units, and multi-family units available, which would provide higher density housing and bring better balance and diversity to the City's housing stock. The development would provide a mix of a higher density multi-family building, at approximately 31 dwelling units per acre, followed by a lower density for the townhomes and 4-plex units. Additionally, the

City Council

Jrly 15,2020 RZN2019-010 Page 6

of9 proposed development would allow the opportunity for an age restricted development with a mix of the unit types at different densities.

Unifi ed Development Ordinance The current zoning of the subj ect property is based on a previously approved Planned Development (PD) and Master Plan, last amended in 2008. As required under Section 31410(c)(3) of the Unified Development Ordinance, any Planned Development must comply with specific design elements outlined in Table 410-2. One of the requirements for non-residential zoning districts within the PD is that they must maintain a jobs-tohousing ratio of not less than 1 .0 and not more than 1.5 employees for each residential dwelling unit within the Planned Development. In the OJ, Office-lnstitutional zoning district, the number ofjobs generated is based on 250 square feet of building area per employee.

As approved under RZ03-03, the previous jobs to housing ratio standard was applied to all residential units proposed to be constructed in the Bridgeway portion of the development. At the time, a minimum of 42,250 square feet of development was required to occur in the O-I district for the construction of an additional 169 residential units.

Additionally, RZC20|7 -004 required an additional 17,500 square feet of O-I floor area to maintain thejobs to housing ratio. Approval ofthe current request, RZN2019-010, would require an additional 59,250 square feet of O-l floor area to maintain the jobs to housing ratio, for a total of approximately 119,000 square feet of office space. Currently there is approximately 228,700 square feet of constructed buildings within the O-I zoned porlions of Bridgeway Commerce Park. When considering existing office space and the potential floor area that could be developed on remaining O-I zoned properties, the required jobs to housing ratio for both the previously approved and proposed dwelling units are satisfied.

The Unified Development Ordinance specifies criteria for the use of RU-12 zoring. The following should be considered when contemplating this rezoning:

Sec. 31-403. RELATION OF ZONING DISTRICTS PLAN AND PURPOSE STATEMENTS.

TO COMPR"EHENSM

The purpose statement of the RU-12 zoning district contained in Section 31-403 of the UDO must be considered when contemplating this rezoning. As stated, the RU-12 zoning district is intended as a high density district that allows for a mix of housing types including single family detached and attached dwellings, townhouses, duplexes and apartments at a maximum of twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. This district is designed to provide multi-family buffer zones between commercial/industrial areas. This dishict is also intended to provide additional housing options ald a mix of unit types while maintaining neighborhood compatibility. Lastly, the RU-12 zoning district is intended to be located within the Inner Ring Suburban Use District.

As proposed, the age restricted development at 10.4 units per acre would meet the requested RU-12 zoning but would not meet the recommended density of 25-40 units per acre for the Mixed Use core use District. As previously stated, the applicant has

City Council July 15,2020 RZN20l9-010 Page 7

of9 proffered a Proposed Land Use Plan that proffers densities for each unit type proposed for the age restricted development. A portion of the development that is designated for the multi-family building has a proffered density of 31.1 dwelling units per acres which does meet the recommended density of the Mixed Use Core Use District. Additionally, the portion of the site to remain O-I would provide the opportunity to be developed into office, medical office, research and development, and civic uses.

SEC.31-408. SPECIFIC BASE ZONING DISTRICT CRITBRIA. No applicationfor development approval in the RL, RLM, RM, RC, RU, and RU-12 zoning districts shall be approved unless the proposed use and/or development conforms to the requirements of Articles 4, 6, and 7 of this Ordinance.

No subdivision plat shall be approved unless the proposed development is served by the central water system of the City of Suffolk and the central wastewater system of the City of Suffolk, in accordance with Section 3 1-61 3 of this Ordinance, and Chapter 90, of the City Code of Suffolk.

The conceptual plan submitted with this application, which is not proffered, has not been reviewed for compliance with regard to the development regulations in Articles 4, 6 and 7 of the UDO. This development will require full site plan review in accordance with Section 3l-307. Compliance with regard to all design and improvement standards, including but not limited to: parks and open space, landscaping, lot and road layout, and connectivity would be verified during site plan review. The Department of Public Works has indicated that there is public water and sewer that serve this site.

3.

Adequate Public Facilities The purpose and intent of the adequate public facilities ordinance is to ensure that public facilities are available to support new development and associated impacts, and that each public facility meets or exceeds the Level of Service standards established by the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance. No rezoning request should be approved which would cause a reduction in the levels of service standards for any public facility impacted.

Public Water and Sanitary Sewer City water and sewer are available to serve the site from an existing 12" water main stub and 8" sanitary sewer stub at the entrance to the site form Harbour View Boulevard.

During site plan design, a Water Model Capacity Curve will need to be obtained from this Department to determine whether adequate water for fire and domestic demand is available. There is a fee of $400 for the City to perform this model. In addition, the receiving City PS #94lBridgeway Commerce Park #2 wlll need to be modeled to determine whether it has sufficient capacity for the additional sanitary sewer flows from this site. There is a fee of $2,000 for the City to perform this model. Any upgrades to the existing pump station as a result of this project will be at Developer expense. Based on the information provided, the Department of Public Utilities has no objections to this rezoning request.

Stormwater Management

The subject parcel is included in an approved storm water master plan. The Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, advises that the overall imperviousness needs to be compatible with the approved Master Plan (73.90olo impervious), which is valid under Time Limits of Applicability until 2024. The Department of Public Works has no objections to this rezoning request.

Transportation

The applicant has provided a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) as required for a rezoning application. Based on the proposed 237 age restricted multifamily dwellings, 384 a.m. peak trips and 362 p.m. peak trips were estimated to be generated. In total, 2,683 daily vehicular trips are expected to be generated by the development. In comparison, the byright zoning would generate 536 and 498 trips during am and pm peak hours, and in total 3,782 daily trips. According to the TIA, as currently proposed the development would generate significantly less traffic than the current by-right zoning. Additionally, the Harbour Point Drive and Harbour View Boulevard site entrance is recommended that the westbound leg of intersection include a shared left-through land and an exclusive right turn lane. The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the TIA and has no objections to the proposed change in zoning.

Schools The proposed23T-unit development is an age restricted community 55+; therefore, there is no impact on schools.

The proposed development would offer a variety of age restricted housing types at different densities. The front portion of the property to remain O-I zoning district followed by a high density multi-family building would provide a natural transition from Harbour View Boulevard to the rear of the property that would have lower density 4-plex units and townhomes at the rear of the property. Additionally, the proposed development has the potential to generate significantly less traffic than the current by-right zoning as outlined in the submitted Traffic Impact Assessment. Although the provided density falls below the recommended density for the Mixed Use Core established in the Comprehensive Plan, overall the proposal provides for both commercial and residential uses in this location and contributes toward maintaining the balance of residential and non-residential uses. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of Rezoning Request RZN20 1 9-0 1 0 (Conditional).

The Planning Commission, at their meeting of June 16, 2020, voted 6 to 0 to approve resolution recommending approval of this request.

SUFFOLK, VIRGTNIA

Located in the center of Harbour View, in the City's Northem Growth Are4 Parcel 11 is a unique parcel with a current comprehensive plan designation of "Mixed Use Core" and an existing O&I zoning. The site is adjacent to vacant OJ property that extends to the corner of Harbour View Boulevard and Hampton Roads Parkway intended for more intense commercial development. An O&l developed site is to the north, called Bickford Assisted Living and Memory Care. Also to the north is a developed single story M-l property. This property was previously zoned M-l but per the 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was zoned to O-I. See Appendix A, Historic and Relevant Information to better understand the previously request for change and other substantial findings.

It is critical for growth and development in Harbour View to maintain a certain amount of commercial property for research and development, medical offices, retail, civic space, etc. It is also appropriate for development to occur in a predictable orderly manner. Job creation should be supported by a mix of housing types per the Unified Development Ordinance. This rezoning requests a portion of the site to be rezoned to high density residential to establish and enhance economic diversity and vitality, and create a more efficient pattern of development.

Our research has indicated several reasons why Office-Institutional land area is becoming less and less attractive in the Hampton Roads Region. Nearly half a million square feet of office space is available today in our region in just a couple of prominent buildings in Norfolk. See Appendix B below for Northern Suffolk vacancies that directly affect the parcel in question. It reflects, a staggering, vacancy of 250,000+/- sq.ft. This does not include, buildings currently under construction. Regional and local vacancies should be considered in both our future planning and through this rezoning process.

Land uses like O-I, Office-Institutional and CP, Commerce Park, are outdated in urban areas. They have become less attractive to large office users, banks and hoteliers looking to expand or relocatg. it has become the trend to create a more desirable site with a mix of uses in close proximity. The mix of

to successful place making by creating a central core area on site where activities may be programmed for both visitors and residents, creating a place with constant activity and uses are essential

usefulness . This idea and planning theme can give a development a 'main street' feel.

Leaving this site in its entirety as, O-I would create a vehicle dependent site with no opportunity for place making.

As you know, a portion of parcel 11 has developed with Bickford Senior Living. The furthest south parcel of Parcel 11 was previously approved for a hotel user. Continued growth of commercial is anticipated along the frontage of Parcel 1 1. To athact a multistory user, we anticipate that the acreage of the site that does not front onto Harbour View Boulevard be rezoned to a residential mix.

The location of our proposed active adult community, adjacent to the Bickford Senior Living is advantageous if additional care is eventually sought after, it is conveniently located next door. The Harbour View corridor, where medical and retail are accessible by car, foot, or mass transit, is an ideal location for an active adult housing community according to several national and regional standards. The site will allow for high density uses that fall within the core density (25-40 du/ac.) This can only occur in our Core District. Therefore, the location will allow the proposal to include a Class A, multistory senior living building that will be designed at 3l dr-r/ac. This along with a mix of other products designed specifically for an active adult buyer makes this an ideal location. The site is also easily accessible to and from Route 664 and Route 264. These same points are highlighted in the RCLCO Market Study, Dated December 30, 2019, provided to the City. These findings set this active adult rezoning apart from others we have seen in the past by being more thoughtful in plan, location and study then had been contemplated in previous years.

The zoning designation for this properties frontage and the adjacent properties seem appropriate, specifically along Harbour View Boulevard. Though, the rear of the property that is approximately 30% wetlands, with very little visibility for commercial development does create a difficult situation for commercial growth. However the buffer of wetlands will provide a good back drop for residential development and therefore, allow the site to realize a mix of uses from Harbour View Boulevard to the rear of the property. This would include, O-I, high density residential, medium density residential and conservation area. The introduction of active adult residential will lend itself to being the support use needed to sustain the commercial development along Harbour View Boulevard and within Northern Suffolk. The designation of a portion of Parcel 11 to Urban Residential will support the goals and growth patterns of the Unified Development Ordinance. This includes allowing for opportunities for retirement housing.

According to the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, The Core Support District should provide more housing opportunities that create a larger market area to support the non-residential uses located in the Mixed Use Core District. The proximity of this district to the Mixed Use Core District should shorten travel times, expand travel options, reduce congestion and provide potential transit stops. The site has been designed with an interconnected, walkable network of streets and small blocks in a grid like pattern that feed out to the main connection with Harbour View Boulevard. Our proximity to Harbou. Vi"*r transit line, will allow us to work with City of Suffolk's Transportation Planning Manager to locate a bus stop area along our frontage

The housing and commercial property will be designed in a compact, walkable form. The Center of the plan will be walkable and accessible by all uses. The Center wili contain a town green with recreation actives, sidewalks, seating areas, and programmable space. These elements mentioned will create an Urban Neighborhood which is called for in the Comprehensive Plan for this property. As we work through the rezoning ofParcel I 1, a unique character shall be established forthis new Urban Neighborhood. This will be done through a set of standards that will be created; depicting building style

and placement, blocks and site amenities.

The fionts of all the units shall be defined with porches or stoops that lead directly to pedestrian friendly walks. Signage, lighting and open space areas will all work to invite pedestrian activity. Public spaces, along the streetscapes, large greenS and smaller gathering areas, tie together the residential unit types and help to create a unique and special place.

The interior villa homes utilize private, shared, drives to provide greater pedestrian connectivity to the pedestrian friendly sidewalks and to the center green and center coridor that lead to the commercial properties along Harbour View. Small side setbacks and narrow lots foster a continuous street frontage.

Townhome buildings are placed toward the flont ofthe lot with the rear used for private yards and gardens. The multifamily building proposed follows this design ideal with buildings close to the right-ofway and parking provided behind the buildings.

The diverse product type that is called for in the Urban Neighborhood Dist ct averages to be approximately 11 du/ac for this particular site. This is lower then what is called for within the Mixed Use Core District but appropriate to meet the traffic level ofservice table for Harbour View Boulevard and to meet the requirement for diversity in housing. More intense development would have created a failing condition for traffic and therefore our densiry had to balance the Cities request for High Density with the request to meet all Levels of Service.

Parcel I I has been designed as an urbar Active Adult neighborhood connecting to the greater mixed use core of Harbour View. Within the site itselt commercial parcels have been proposed to remain as O-I fronting Harbour View Boulevard and the main entrance into the site. These buildings can be used for commercial, retail, civic or institutional uses serying the residents. Residents could easily live in the development and take a short walk to work, shop, and play in the proposed commercial buildings and Center Green. This further supports the City's comprehensive plan and the Urban Neighborhood districts goals ofcreating less auto dependent neighborhoods.

Appendix A Historic and Relevant Information: Suffolk Towers, LLC purchased what is now known as Parcel I lC from Dominion Lands in 2003. At 1lc was part ofapproximately 300+/- acres of Ml zoned land known as Bridgeway commerce Park. Dominion's vision for the property was a combination ofoffice warehouse and industiial warehouse consistent with the recorded covenants and Restrictions. In May of2003 when Suffolk rowers consummated closing the Commerce Pa-rk consisted ofthee office warehouse buildings - Bridgeway Tech I and II, and Columbia Gas and Sysco Foods Distribution Warehouse. that time,

Shortly after the purchase, and in concert and agreement with the city, Economic Development and consistent with the 2018 comprehensive Plan, suffolk rowers and Bridgeway Lpjoined in a reioning application to change all but 33 acres ofthe remaining Towers property (approximately I l5) to OI. Given the expectation that modeling, and simulation would become a significant part ofthe North Suffolk Economy and lead to large scale defense department spending this cefiainly seemed a reasonable zoning classification ihat would be well supported in the near and intermediate term.

Parcel I I

February 6, 2020

With the sudden and unexpected change in the modeling and simulation plans as well as the economlc challenges experienced by all from 2006 - 2009 the expectation of multi-story office buildings in the Commerce Park has not been met. Since the rezoning, the only multi-story office building constructed in the Commerce Park is the Woodley Building. Suffolk Towers built this 3 story 27,000+/- Sq. ft. building in 2009 and was successful in leasing all three floors to Northrop Grumman for 10 years. Grumman renewed for 5 years in 2019 but reduced its footprint in the building to 2 floors after requesting and receiving rent concessions.

The third floor is now leased at a 25% discount over the prior lease for a period of5 years.

Since the rezoning, Suffolk Towers has not received an ofler ofsubstance from any person or company to purchase any ofthe rezoning property for the purpose ofconstructing office product of any type. Sales to Hoteliers, a Restauranteur, Lockheed Martin, Liberfy Property Trust and Believer's Church (HI-IB 757) are what have occurred. For this reason, when we learned that the new Comprehensive Plan designates the area within with the Commerce Park lies for higher density residential growth it became clear that it is time to approach the City for a mning change. We began discussions with the City as to how to implement a plan that incorporates residential units of some density along with meaningful mixed uses to include office, while at the same time keeping levels of seryice at the forefront ofany rezoning request.

Our due diligence provided us with persuasive evidence that a market for age targeted product exists and is underserved in North Suffolk. Both Rose and Womble Realty Company and Weldenfield Rowe have statistical data to support this conclusion. Based upon that evidence and the critical factor that it helped maintain levels of service at below (we believe well below) those that would exist were 1 lC developed as OI throughout, along with the ability to maintain about 6 acres for mixed use and office product on Harbour View Boulevard makes this rezoning request consistent with and in full service ofthe Comprehensive Plan.

Moreover, the rezoning request is consistent with the goals and objectives ofthe Comprehensive Plan in which smart gromh is always preferred over growth that simply checks every technical box. This plan strikes the perfect balance between achieving the goals ofthe Comprehensive plan with residential and other mixed-use densities while maintaining levels ofservice so important to the quality of life in Suffolk. a regional pump station on Parcel 1 I C, completed the Wetlands Mitigation Bank, ard on Parcel 1 lC alone paid over $400,000 in real estate ta,xes. In20l6l17, eleven (1 l) acres were lost to wetlands encroachment despite the dedication ofnumerous conservation areas and the constructed of25 acres of forested and planted wetlands mitigation areas. The encroachment will continue absent the ability to begin development of 1lC on a large scale in the near term. This is no small investment in the success ofBridgeway Commerce Park, Harbour View, and the City ofSuffolk

It is important to note the Suffolk Towers constructed

The Iental space is proposed to have an area for video game ;quipment, a play area that will have games such as table tennis, board games, arts and crafts, and an area for seating. The commercial building currently has one (1) batkoom located in the rear of the building near the space that will be available for rent. The applicant has indicated that an additional bathroom will be added to accommodate a higher occupancy in accordance with building code. The proposed hours of operation for the rental space will be fiom 12 pm to 8 pm on weekdays and 12 pm to 9 pm on weekends, which is consistent with the hours of operation for similar uses that have been approved. The space will not be open to the public and will only be available for private parties during the proposed hours of operation. The applicant has stated there will be no alcoholic beverages allowed on the premises to provide an environment that is family friendly; however, if alcoholic beverages are served on the property the applicant will be responsible for obtaining all licenses and approvals from the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Additionally, the applicant will utilize the front portion of the first floor to have a separate space to rent and sell party supplies and equipment such as concession machines, party decorations and accessories, and balloons. The rental and sale business will be open to the public from 11 am to 5 pm. The use of the ftont space within the commercial building is a by right use and does not need a conditional use permit.

Pursuant to Section 31-306 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), a conditional use permit recognizes uses that, because of their unique characteristics or potential impacts on adjacent land uses, are not generally permitted in certain zoning districts as a matter of right.

Rather, such uses are permitted through the approval of a conditional use permit by City Council when the right set of circumstances and conditions are found acceptable.

Conditional Use Permit Approval Criteria, 31-306(c) - As may be specified within each zoning district, uses permitted subject to conditional use review criteria shall be permitted only after review by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council, and only if the applicant demonstrates that: a)

The proposed conditional use shall be in compliance with all regulations of the applicable zoning district, the provisions of Article 6 of the Ordinance and any applicable supplemental use standards as set forth in Article 7 of the Ordinance.

The proposed use is permitted only with the approval of a conditional use permit in the

Central Business District per the City's Unified Development Ordinance. All requirements as set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of the Unified Development Ordinance must be met. [n addition, this property is located within the Historic Conservation Overlay District and is subject to the requirements of the Historic District Design Guidelines; therefore, any exterior changes to the property will require a Certificate of Appropriateness. b)

The proposed conditional use shall conform to the character of the neighborhood within the same zoning district in which it is located. The proposal as submitted or modified shall have no more adverse fficts on health, safety or comfort of persons living or working in or driving through the neighborhood, or shall be no more injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, than would any other use generally permitted in the same district. In making such a determination, consideration should be given to the location, type and height of buildings or structures, the type and extent of landscaping and screening on the site and whether the proposed use is consistent with any theme, action, policy or map of the Comprehensive Plan which encourages mixed uses and/or densities.

The proposed indoor amusement use will complement the existing character and surrounding land uses located in the downtown core of the City of Suffolk. The Mixed Use Core use district and CBD zoning district are designed to consist of a vertical mix of commercial and residential land uses within a walkable, pedestrian-friendly setting.

Due to the proposed limitation on the hours of operation ceasing at 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends, the proposed indoor amusement center should not have an adverse impact on the people who live and work in downtown.

shall be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to hazards and to minimize traffic congestion on the public roads.

c) Adequate measures

of6 as other uses crurently located in downtown. Adequate on-sheet and off-street parking

is available; therefore, the Department of Public Works, Traffic Engineering, has no concerns regarding the proposed use.

d)

The proposed use

shall not be noxious or offensive by reason ofvibration, noise, odor,

dust, smoke or gos.

The applicant is required to abide by all city regulations pertaining to sound control and noise. No vibration, odor, smoke, or gas is anticipated to be generated. The Suffolk Police Department recommended that a video surveillance system be installed and monitored as a condition of approval. e)

The subject property is located along West Washington Street, which is one (1) of the two (2) most prominent commercial corridors in the downtown core. Entertainmentoriented uses, such as the proposed indoor amusement center, should not be injurious to the enjoyment of surrounding commercial and residential uses when the right set of conditions are established. Due to the proximity to residential uses, it is recommended that the operating hours cease at 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday evenings, which is consistent with previous recommendations for similar uses. Additionally, to protect the use, enjoyment, and values of neighboring property, the City has adopted Performance Standards in Section 31-608 of the Unified Development Ordinance that the applicant must abide by. Lastly, the proposed use is not expected to have a negative impact on the surrounding public facilities.

f)

The establishment of the proposed use shall not impede the orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted within the zoning district.

As previously stated, the proposed use is in-keeping with the existing uses on West Washington Street. The proposed use is also supported at this location by the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Master Plan. Furthermore, the conversion of this vacant ground floor commercial space to an active indoor amusement and recreation center use will support the success of neighboring businesses by helping to increase pedestrian activity downtown and support continued redevelopment.

g) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed

use shall not be detrimenial to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general

welfare.

Staff has attached conditions to limit any potential negative effects that may result from this type of use, and the applicant must comply with all ordinances regarding noise.

These conditions will help to ensure that public health, safety, morals, and welfare are not endangered and that the character of the area remains intact.

adversely affected by the proposed use.

cuP20l9-016 Page 2 of 6

15 horses not including their own. The subject property is approximately 21 acres in size and features a residential structure, a 7 stall stable, 4 paddocks/pastures, a riding area, and an equipment building. The property currently has horses on it and has been used in the past as a private stable. The existing horse stable has a totzl of 7 stalls allowing for 7 horses to be boarded.

The remaining 8 horses are proposed to be pastue boarded. There are currently no structures or

to

run-ins in the pastures to provide shelter for the horses. The applicant is not proposing riding lessons or shows at this time.

Additionally, the property is located along Lake Prince which is a drinking reservoir owned by the City ofNorfolk. Lake Prince has a required 100-foot Resource Protection Area surrounding the reservoir and which impacts the subject property.

CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

1.

Section 3i-406 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires that a conditional use permit be obtained for a Stable, commercial, within the RE, Rural Estate zoning district.

Section 31-702 of the Unified Development Ordinance (JDO) provides supplemental standards for animal regulations. Horses are permitted on properties zoned A, Agricultural, RR, Rural Residential, and RE, Rural Estate zoning district. The minimum acreage for keeping one horse is two acres, which may include a homesite. For parcels of three to five acres, tlree additional horses per acre may be kept. For incremental acreage increases of six through ten acres five horses per additional acre are permitted. The subject property by right may have a total of 90 horses. The requested number of horses to be commercially boarded does not exceed the number ofhorses permitted by right.

J.

This property is within an area of the City where Public water or sewer is not avaiiable.

Therefore, the Department ofPublic Utilities has no objections to this request.

4.

The applicant has submitted a Nutrient Management Plan, dated December l7 , 2019, md a Conservation Plan Report, dated February 04, 2020, in response to the Department of Public Works Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) concems from the increased number of horses. The plans outline the procedure for rotational grazing and spreading of manure for the four existing pastures on site. Additionally, the plans outline and recommend best management practices to prevent any potential runoff into Lake Prince, a drinking reservoir owned by the City of Norfolk, that could be produced from the proposed use. The Department of Public Works, has no objections to this request.

5.

Access to the site is currently from an existing private gravel driveway that extends from the terminus of Lake Point Road, a paved public street. The gravel drive is located within an existing ingress/egress easement. Maintenance of the gravel drive is currently the responsibility of the adj acent property ownem which share the use of the drive per a maintenance agreement. The Department of Public Works, Traffic Engineering Division, has no objections to this request.

City Council July 15, 2020

cuP20l9-016 Page 3 of 6

Pursuant to Section 31-306 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), a conditional use permit recognizes usei that, because of their unique characteristics or potential impacts on adj acent land uses, are not generally permitted in certain zoning districts as a matter of right. Rather, such uses are permitted through the approval of a conditional use permit by City Council when the right set of circumstances and conditions are found acceptable.

Conditional Use Permit Approval Cdteria, 31-306(c) - As may be specified within each zoning district, uses permitted subject to conditional use review criteria shall be permitted only after review by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Councii, and only if the applicant demonstrates that:

a)

The proposed conditional use shall be in compliance with dll regulations of the applicable zoning district, the provisions of Article 6 of the Ordinance and any applicable supplemental use standards as setforth in Article 7 of the Ordinance.

The proposed use is permitted only with the approval of a conditional use permit in the RE, Rural Residential zoning district, per the City's Unified Development Ordinance. All requirements as set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of the Unified Development Ordinance must be met. Section 3l-702 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) provides supplemental standards for animal regulations. By right the property can have 90 horses on the property. The requested number of horses to be commercially boarded does not exceed the number of horses permitted for the property.

Furthermore, the housing of horses shall be constructed so as to facilitate maintenance in a clean and sanitary environment. There are currently no nrn-ins or structures that provide shelter to the horses in the pasture. A commercial stable and public stable is defined as an accessory building in which horses are kept for commercia-1 use including boarding, hire, and sale. Therefore, staff recommends that the number of horses to be commercially boarded be limited to the number of slalls in the stable and run-ins or structues in the pastures to ensure shelter is provided for the horses.

b)

The proposed conditional use shall conform to the character of the neighborhood within the same zoning district in which it is located. The proposal as submitted or

modified shall hqve no more adverse effects on health, safety or comfort of persons living or worhing in or driving through the neighborhood, or shall be no more injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, than would any other use generally permitted in the same district. In making such determination, consideration should be given to the location, type and height of buildings or structures, the type and extent of landscaping and screening on the site and whether the proposed use is consistent with any theme, action, policy or map of the Comprehensive Plan which encourqges mixed uses and/or densities.

The proposed commercial stable use is consistent with the existing character and surounding land uses. The subject property is zoned RE, Rural Estate zoning district and is permitted to have horses on the property. The property owners currently use the property for their personal horses and are requesting to board horses other than their own for profit. The commercial stable use would allow the applicant to utilize the existing horse stables and pastures to board horses for a proht. The srmounding properties have horses for both private and commercial use. Additiona.lly, traffic is not anticipated to adversely impact adjacent property owners. The proposed use is similar to and consistent with existing uses and other uses permitted in the same dishict.

c) Adequate meqsures

stated, the properfy is accessed from a private drive that leads to a public road. The appiicant has provided documentation that shows there is an existing ingress/egress easement to the property.

not be noxious or offensive by reason of vibration, noise,

The applicant is required to abide by all city regulations pertaining to sound control and noise. No vibration, odor, smoke, or gas is anticipated to be generated.

Additionally, the existing stables are approximately 260 feet away from the closest structue, which is another horse stable, and approximately 700 feet and more from surrounding residential structures. e)

The proposed use shall not be injurious to the use and enjoyments of the property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted nor substantially diminish

or impair

the

property values within the neighborhood.

The subj ect property currently has an existing stable that is used for the property owner's personal horses. The property will continue to be used for horses; however, the proposed commercial stable use would allow for horses to be boarded for a profit in addition to being used for the property owner's personal horses. In addition, as previously stated the surrounding residential structues are al1 approximately 700 feet ard more from the existing stables. The proposed commercial stable should not be injurious to the use or enjoyment ofproperties in the immediate area. .f)

The establishment of the proposed use shall not impede the orderly deyelopment qnd improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted within the zoning district.

Additionally, a Nutdent Management Plan, dated December 1'7 , 2019, and a Conservation Plan Report, dated February 04, 2020, have been submitted and accepted with the application. The plans provide management procedures for rotational grazing and spreading of manure for the four existing pastures on site to address increases in waste that could be produced by the proposed use.

The plan outlines management procedures for prescribed grazing land management to reduce the risk of surface and groundwater contamination from nonpoint source pollution from the pastures by managing stocking rates and grazing periods. Staff recommends that the procedures outlined in the Nutrient Management Plan, dated December t7 , 2019, and the Conservation Plan Report, dated February 04,2020, are met.

Narrative Description of Proposed Use

The Applicant/Owners, Scott and Pamela Troutman wish to get a business license to board horses other than their own on their private property and stables located at 4200 Lake Point Road, suffolk, virginia. The property is located in a RE Zoning District which allows horses and other livestock. This Application for Conditional Use Permit has been submitted because the City of Suffolk Unified Development Ordinance classifies this as a "commercial stable"

operation if the property owner accepts money for the service of boarding horses, although the Applicant/owner still considers it a private family farm. The Applicant/owners wish to board horses for family and friends for a fee to offset the costs of maintaining the farm. The property contains a home, seven stall barn, equipment building, riding ring and four large pastures (see attached pictures). The Applicant/Owner will not be making any improvements to the property.

The Applicant/owners currently own three horses and a donkey. The Applicant/owners wish to stall and pasture board up to a maximum of 15 horses other than their own. As the Applicant/owner understands the ordinance on number of horses ailowed, (see attached ordinance and calculation sheet), the maximum number of horses allowed on the property would be 90 horses.

This project will extend a new 1O-inch gravity sewer main along Pughsville Road from its current terminus at City Pump Station No. 1, located at 39014 Pughsville Road, to an existing City manhole located adjacent to 3797 Pughsville Road. The new gravity sewer main will serve two purposes: 1.) Allow for the abandonment and removal of City Pump Station No. 1 which has reached the end of its useful service life, and 2.) Provide gravity sewer service connections to the existing and vacant lots along the sewer route.

Prior to proceeding with the construction of the gravity sewer main extension, it is necessary for the City to acquire three permanent easements along the sewer route for the installation of the gravity sewer main by either agreement or condemnation. A public hearing is necessary to receive public comment regarding these utility easements and property acquisitions. A motion is requested to schedule the required public hearing to be held at the August 5,2020, City Council Meeting.
