2 Background and Summary of Proposal The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for an Automobile Repair Garage. The applicant currently leases space at the north end of an industrial warehouse building on Arrowhead Drive. During the process of obtaining a business license it came to light that a Conditional Use Permit is required. The auto repair business operates from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and provides engine repair, oil changes, brakes, and State Inspections. No body work or paint work will take place on the subject site. Repairs and the storage of materials will occur within the building Zoning History # Request 1 CRZ (I-1 to Conditional B-2) Approved 10/28/ REZ (I-1 to B-1A) Approved 04/05/ CUP (Tattoo Parlor) Approved 11/17/ CUP (Cosmetology School) Approved 02/24/ CRZ (I-1 to I-2) Approved 12/12/1995 CUP Conditional Use Permit REZ Rezoning CRZ Conditional Rezoning Application Types MOD Modification of Conditions or Proffers NON Nonconforming Use STC Street Closure FVR Floodplain Variance ALT Alternative Compliance SVR Subdivision Variance Comprehensive Plan Recommendations This property is located in the Newtown Strategic Growth Area (SGA) as identified by the Comprehensive Plan and the Newtown SGA Master Plan (adopted on July 6, 2010). The subject site is located in the Arrowhead North Neighborhood of the Newtown Strategic Growth Area. As this area is in close proximity to a light rail station, the Plan recommends a transition from industrial uses to retail and medium density residential uses within smaller blocks and common green spaces (p. 41). Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts This site is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As the property is almost entirely impervious, there do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site. Page 2

No roadway CIP projects are slated for this area. Public Utility Impacts 4 LOS = Level of Service Water & Sewer This site is currently connected to both City water and sanitary sewer service. Evaluation and Recommendation While the Newtown Strategic Growth Area Master Plan calls for long-term redevelopment of the site to residential and retail uses, the proposed use is compatible with the existing light industrial uses surrounding the site. Many auto repair uses exist within this area of Virginia Beach, and as such, the proposed use is acceptable until market forces the transition of this area to the long-term vision established in the Newtown SGA Plan. No site improvements or changes to the building are proposed with this request. The parking provided onsite meets the requirements of Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance. Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. Recommended Conditions 1. All vehicle repair shall take place inside the building. 2. No outside storage of equipment, parts, tires or materials shall be permitted. 3. There shall be no outside storage or display of tires. 4. No outside storage of vehicles in a state of obvious disrepair shall be permitted. If vehicles in this condition require storage, then such vehicles shall be stored within the building. 5. All parking spaces required by the City Zoning Ordinance must be marked by painted striping, including handicap spaces in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 6. Any building signage shall meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance. A separate sign permit shall be obtained from the Planning Department for the installation of any signage. No box signs shall be permitted on the building. Page 3

4 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 uses allowed by this Use Permit 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.
