[1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ]

PLEASE STAND IF YOU'RE ABLE. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND

JUSTICE FOR ALL. >> LET US BOW.

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: MS. LEE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AGENDA I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES OF THE MAY 25 REGULAR AND SPECIAL MEETING.

[3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES – May 25, 2021, Regular and Special Minutes ]

>> SO MOVED. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: MOTION MADE BY MR. THERNTEN AND SECONDED BY MR. THORNTON.

MOTION TO MOVE THE MINUTES CARRIED.

MR. MANAGER? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I HAVE ONE COMMENT THIS EVENING.

[4. MANAGER’S COMMENTS ]

INFORMATION TO THE ELECTED BODY. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: ABSOLUTELY.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: SO IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT YOU SEE THE COUNTY MANAGER COME FORWARD WITH FLOWERS.

THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS. IT'S BECAUSE -- AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE MY TYPICALLY BE TOO TERRIBLY SENTIMENTAL.

IN THIS CASE, I AM A LITTLE SENT SENTIMENTAL BECAUSE WE HAVE A RECOGNITION THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY. A VERY SPECIAL YOUNG LAID THAT CAME TO WORK WITH US. OUR CLERK TO THE BOARD MS. TONYA BRACKET HARDING WHO IS TOTALLY SURPRISED AND WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR MS. HARDING IN THAT HER FAMILY IS HERE.

TANYA, IF YOU'D COME FORWARD. BEFORE YOU START GETTING EMOTIONAL, COME ON. SO THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE EVENT.

HER DAUGHTER, MOM, AND DAD, SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MS. HARDING, PLEASE COME FORWARD AND MAY I PRESENT TO YOU THESE FLOWERS. AND SO OUR VERY OWN CLERK, TANYA HARDING, WAS SELECTED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE 2021 MUNICIPAL CLERK'S HONOR ROLL PUBLISHED BY AN ENTITY CALLED GENERAL CODE.

NOW OUR CHAIRMAN, MR. SCHMITT, WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN NOMINATING HER FOR HER SKILLS WITH THIS BODY.

IT'S EASY WHEN YOU FOLLOW AN INDIVIDUAL LIKE BARRY LAWRENCE WHO WHO SERVED FOR MANY YEARS AND I THINK KNEW EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT HENRICO. SHE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO SOME INCREDIBLE WORK. HER DETAILED WORK ALLOWS THIS BOARD TO FOCUS ON THE NEEDS OF CONSTITUENTS.

WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE, HER KNOWLEDGE, TECHNOLOGICAL APTITUDE AND THE ABILITY TO BRING THE RIGHT PEOPLE WERE KEY IN LOWING OUR COUNTY, AND YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE ACTIONS YOU'RE TAKING TONIGHT, OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO CONTINUE ENGAGING WITH OUR RESIDENTS SAFELY AFTER STAY AT HOME ORDERS WERE ISSUED BY THE GOVERNOR IN EARLY 2020. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL BE

[00:10:03]

THIS IS A VERY HIGH NATIONAL HONOR AND OFFER OUR SINCERE GRATITUDE FOR ALL SHE DOES FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND FOR OUR COUNTY. JOINING US IN CELEBRATION, TYRONE AND ARNETTA BRACKET AND JADA HARDING, HER DAUGHTER.

CONGRATULATIONS. WE GOT YOU.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> OH, MY GOD.

WHEN HE SAID HE HAD A COMMENT, I SAID, WHAT? NO, HE DOESN'T. I DON'T HAVE THIS.

I'M NOT AWARE OF THIS COMMENT. WHAT IS THAT? THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M TRULY HONORED.

I'M SPEECHLESS BECAUSE MY PARENTS ARE HERE.

JADA WAS LIKE, I HAVE A DINNER. I WAS LIKE, NO, YOU DON'T.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. FOLLOWING BARRY AS YOU ALL KNOW, BARRY HAD HUGE SHOES TO FILL. I FEEL I'VE BEEN GOING IN CIRCLES. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I FEEL IT'S A PRIVILEGE EVERY DAY TO WORK FOR YOU ALL. I FEEL HONORED THAT YOU NOTICE IT. I TRY EVERY DAY TO MAKE YOU PROUD, SO I'M SO HONORED FOR THIS SO THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THE WORK I DO, I CAN'T DO IT. I HAVE TO THANK VICTORIA, FRED, AND KENNY IN THE CLOSET AND IN THE BOX WHO HAVE HELPED ME WHEN COVID HIT THROUGH THE WEBEX AND EVERY MEETING, THEY'VE BEEN MY COMPLETE SUPPORT SYSTEM. I HAVE TO THANK EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE WHO STEPPED IN TO HELP ME.

TOM HAS BEEN A ROCK STAR, HIM AND KAREN.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS.

I'M SO -- THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. [APPLAUSE]

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MS. HARDING, YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME AND CERTAINLY DESERVE. THE MANAGER WAS ESPECIALLY GRACIOUS SAYING THAT I HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NOMINATION. I DID SIGN THE LETTER AND DID EARLY WORK, BUT I'LL TELL YOU IT WAS A PHONE CALL FROM MS. O'BANNON AND ALL FIVE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING THE SIGNATURE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. CONGRATULATIONS.

AND JADA, GO DUKES! >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: I HAVE NO

APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF WE INTERRUPT.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET EVERYBODY IN.

PLEASE ALSO STICK TO NEW FACTS AND TRY NOT TO REPEAT.

SO WITH THAT, MR. MANAGER? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: YOU HAVE FOUR CASES IN THIS PORTION OF YOUR AGENDA THIS EVENING.

THE FIRST IS 177-21

[8a. 177-21 REZ2021-00015 Three Chopt North Gayton Village, LLC: Request to conditionally rezone from R-3C One-Family Residence District (Conditional) to RTHC Residential Townhouse District (Conditional) part of Parcel 738-768-5488 containing 11.197 acres located on the west line of Pouncey Tract Road (State Route 271), approximately 475’ south of its intersection with N. Gayton Road. The applicant proposes an age-restricted detached residential condominium community. The RTH District allows a maximum gross density of 9 units per acre. The use will be controlled by zoning ordinance regulations and proffered conditions. The 2026 Comprehensive Plan recommends Suburban Mixed-Use, density should not exceed 4 units per acre. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant the request. ]

REQUEST TO CONDITIONALLY REZONE FROM R-3C ONEFAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT (CONDITIONAL) TO RTHC RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT (CONDITIONAL) PART OF PARCEL 738-768-5488 CONTAINING 11.197 ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST LINE OF POUNCEY TRACT ROAD (STATE ROUTE 271), APPROXIMATELY 475' SOUTH OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH N. GAYTON ROAD. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES AN AGE-RESTRICTED DETACHED RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM COMMUNITY. THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GRANT THE REQUEST.

. >> THANK YOU.

THIS IS 46 AGE-RESTRICTED DETACHED CONDOMINIUMS. IT WAS PART OF A LARGER REZONING APPROVED IN 2017 REZONING PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH. YOU CAN FOLLOW THE MOUSE HERE TO R6C WHICH IS DEVELOPED AS WESTMONT, AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY AS WELL AS FOR 40 LOT SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION KNOWN

[00:35:03]

THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. THE APPLICANT WISHES TO REZONE SECTION 2 TO ALLOW FOR THE DETACHED CONDOMINIUMS. THAT'S AN INCREASE OF 19 UNITS. THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED THIS LAYOUT. ONE THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL REZONING IS THAT THE COMMON AREA OR OPEN SPACE AREA REMAINS THE SAME BETWEEN THE SECTION AND SECTION 1 TO THE NORTH. IT ACTUALLY EXPANDS A LITTLE BIT TO THE EAST WITH THIS PROPOSED B&P WHERE A LOT AND ROAD WAS PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED. IN ADDITION THE 35-FOOT TRANSITIONAL BUFFER WOULD BE MAINTAINED ALONG POUNCEY TRACT ROAD AS PROFFERED WITH THE ORIGINAL CASE.

ACCESS TO THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE PROVIDED ON POUNCEY TRACT ROAD INSTEAD OF CONNECTING TO THE NORTH GAYTON VILLAGE AND IS PROPOSED TO BE RIGHT IN AND OUT ONLY.

SIDEWALKS WOULD BE PROVIDED ALONG POUNCEY TRACT AND ONE SIDE OF THE INTERIOR ROADS. THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A PROFFERED ELEVATIONS SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THESE SIX ELEVATIONS. MATERIAL WOULD BE MASONRY OR SEMTITIOUS SIDING ONLY. EACH 1800 SQUARE FEET WITH TWO-CAR GARAGES. ANY SIDES FACING POUNCEY TRACT WOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF 50% BRICK.

ONE THING TO POINT OUT SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT BREAKING UP THE LONG LINEAR ROWS OF HOMES HERE AND THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.

THEY SUBMITTED AND SWAPPED AND PUT A POCKET PARK TO THE NORTH TO BREAK UP AND HAVE SOME VISUAL RELIEF ON THE NORTH SIDE.

OTHER PROFFERS ARE STREET TREES AND USE OF THE OVERALL RECREATION FACILITY AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN RECOMMENDS SUBURBAN MIXED USE.

THIS REQUEST WITH THE DENSITY PROPOSED AT 3.66 ACRE AND USE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND INTRODUCING A VARIETY OF HOUSING STYLES IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS DESIGNATION.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AT THE MAY 13, 2020 MEETING AND THE STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. DOES ANYBODY IN THE ROOM WISH TO SPEAK TO OR AGAINST THE CASE? SEEING NONE.

OH, GO AHEAD, SIR. IF YOU WOULD, WHEN YOU GET BACK THERE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> MY NAME IS TOM CASEY. I LIVE IN GRAY OAKS VILLAS.

WE HAVE A VERY NICE COMMUNITY. I'M NOT AGAINST THIS COMMUNITY BEING PUT IN THERE. I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE DENSITY OF HOW MANY HOMES ARE GOING TO BE STACKED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. WHAT SIZE IS THE HOME? I THINK SHE SAID 1800 SQUARE FEET.

IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES, SIR.

THAT'S THE MINIMUM PROFFER. >> THE MINIMUM? ARE YOU GOING TO PROVIDE PARKING FOR GUESTS?

>> YES, SIR. IN FACT, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT -- WELL, I COULD WAIT OR ANSWER THAT NOW IF YOU'D LIKE.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: ARE THERE -- TOM, WE'LL KEEP NOTE.

IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, RUN THROUGH THE QUESTIONS AND WE'LL

ANSWER THEM FOR YOU. >> THAT WAS JUST MY CONCERN, IS HAVING HOUSES ALMOST JAMMED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER.

AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE ORDER AND A LITTLE BIT CONTROL OVER THE ENVIRONMENT. YOU DON'T WANT TO JAM EVERYBODY ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. THAT WAS MY CONCERN.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THOMAS BRANIN: MR. CASEY? WHERE DO YOU LIVE? MR. CASEY? WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

>> GRAY OAKS VILLAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF POUNCEY TRACT UP THE

ROAD. >> THOMAS BRANIN: VERY AWARE OF IT. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. I BELIEVE THE TWO QUESTIONS WERE THE SIZE OF THE HOMES AND ANY NOTES ON PARKING ALLOCATION.

>> YES, SIR. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO.

THAT'S WHY THROUGHOUT THE CONCEPT PLAN, YOU SEE BAYS OF VISITOR PARKING THROUGHOUT AND DISPERSED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S IN ADDITION TO THE

REQUIRED PARKING. >> THOMAS BRANIN: THIS IS

ZONED -- >> R-3C.

>> THOMAS BRANIN: GRAY OAKS VILLAS IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IS

[00:40:01]

R-5. >> (OFF MICROPHONE).

>> THOMAS BRANIN: THOSE LOT SIZES ARE THE SAME.

IF NOT MORE DENSE. OKAY.

MR. CASEY, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WOULD YOU PULL UP THE ORIG ORIGINAL?

>> ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN? >> MR. CASEY, AS YOU SEE, AND YOU DON'T NEED TO GET UP, SIR. YOU HAVE THE THREE IN THE MIDDLE, AND WE WANTED TO ADD MORE PARKING BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT. VISITOR PARKING, ESPECIALLY WHERE YOU LIVE, IS AN ISSUE. BECAUSE EVERY TIME I'M IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD VISITING YOUR NEIGHBORS, I HAVE TO PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAY OR IF THERE IS AN EVENT OR A PARTY, IT'S TIGHT.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO PUT MORE PARKING IN.

THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER ACTUALLY WAS PRETTY INSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPER THAT WE FIND MORE AREAS TO PARK IN THIS.

BUT TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS ACTUALLY PROBABLY A LITTLE LESS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER THAN WHERE YOU LIVE.

>> THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE?

ANYBODY ON WEBEX? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM.

SEEING NO OTHER SPEAKERS, MR. BRANIN?

>> THOMAS BRANIN: MR. CHAIR, WE HAVE PUT, AS MR. BABCOCK WILL TELL YOU, WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF TIME, RENDERINGS, CHANGES, DEFERRALS, INTO THIS CASE AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT -- FOR APPROVAL OF REZ2020-000115 WITH PROFFERS.

>> SECOND. SECOND.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? IS MOTION CARRIES.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: THE NEXT TWO CASES ARE COMPANION CASES.

THEY BOTH COME FROM THE TUCKAHOE MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT.

[8b. 178-21 REZ2021-00025 Tuckahoe Rebkee Company: Request to conditionally rezone from B-2C Business District (Conditional) to R-6C General Residence District (Conditional) Parcels 739-754-5257 and 739-754-6982 containing 7.91 acres located at the southwestern intersection of Church Road and John Rolfe Parkway. The applicant proposes a master-planned community. The R-6 District allows a maximum gross density of 19.8 units per acre. The uses will be controlled by zoning ordinance regulations and proffered conditions. The 2026 Comprehensive Plan recommends Commercial Concentration. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant the request. ]

[8c. 179-21 PUP2021-00009 Tuckahoe Rebkee Company: Request for a Provisional Use Permit under Sections 24-36.1(b), 24-120 and 24-122.1 of Chapter 24 of the County Code to allow a master-planned community on Parcels 739-754-5257 and 739-754-6982 located at the southwestern intersection of Church Road and John Rolfe Parkway. The existing zoning is B-2C Business District (Conditional). The R-6 District is proposed with REZ2021-00025. The 2026 Comprehensive Plan recommends Commercial Concentration. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant the request. ]

>> THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS REMAINED VACANT FOR 15 YEARS.

BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF COMMERCIAL DEMAND, THE APPLICANT WISHES TO CONSTRUCT A MIXED USE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY.

THE APPLICANT ORIGINALLY PROPOSED AND FILED FOR APARTMENTS UP TO 225 UNITS AND THE RETAINING 20,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE. AFTER A COMMUNITY MEETING AND REACHING OUT TO THE NEARBY RESIDENTS THEY WERE STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THAT REQUEST. AND HAD SUBSEQUENTLY ALLOTTED E-MAILS OPPOSING AND ULTIMATELY THE APPLICATION WAS WITHDRAWN.

THE APPLICANT IS PREPARING TO LESSEN THE INTENSITY AND CONTINUE TOWNHOMES VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT SURROUNDS IT.

THE COMMERCIAL USES WOULD BE LOCATED WITHIN A STAND-ALONE BUILDING ADJACENT TO CHURCH ROAD.

THREE-STORY TOWNHOMES WOULD WRAP AND FACE THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE AND ALSO FACE SHIER WALK AND TRANSITION IN THE MIDDLE AND INTERIOR OF THE SITE TO FOUR-STORY TOWNHOME.

THE ARCHITECTURE AND ELEVATIONS, THE BUILDING MATERIALS, ARE PROFFERED. FRONT FACADES WOULD HAVE 50% MASONRY MATERIAL AND ALL SIDE FACADES FACING JOHN ROLFE AND CHURCH ROAD WOULD BE 100% MASONRY.

EACH UNIT WOULD HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE.

THIS JUST DEPICTS ELEVATIONS FOR THE THREE-STORY AND THIS IS AN INTERIOR OF THE SITE TRANSITIONING TO THE FOUR-STORY, FOURTH REALLY BEING RECESSED BACK FOR THESE ROOFTOP

[00:45:04]

ACTUALLY IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION AND A MAIN FOCAL POINT ON THE ORIGINAL REZONING FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER RETAINING THAT. IN ADDITION TO THE CONCEPT PLAN, THE PROFFERS ADDRESS ITEMS SUCH S HOURS OF CONSTRUCTION, SOUND SUPPRESSION MEASURES AND LANDSCAPING BUFFERING ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE ALL CONSISTENT WITH THE TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA. THE SECOND PART OR COMPANION CASE FOR THIS IS REQUESTED TO ALLOW THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING TO ALLOW MORE -- COMMERCIAL BUILDING AS WELL AS MORE FLEXIBILITY AND DENSITY AND SETBACKS OF PARKING STANDARDS.

WITH 81 UNITS THE PROPOSED DENSITY WOULD BE 10.2 UNITS PER ACRE. UNDER THE R-6 IF APPROVED BY CODE, 12 UNITS PER ACRE ARE ALLOWED.

THE REASON THEY'RE ASKING FOR THIS IS JUST IN CASE IF THEY WANTED TO SUBDIVIDE THE COMMERCIAL INTO SEPARATE PARCEL, IT WOULD NO LONGER BE COUNTED FOR THAT ACREAGE SO IT'S TECHNICALLY CAN REDUCE THE ACREAGE AND INCREASE THE DENSITY. IN NO WAY AT ANY POINT ARE THEY INCREASING MORE THAN 81 UNITS SO THAT'S CAPPED.

SO STAFF WITH THE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT INCLUDED 10 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS IN THE PUP INCLUDING THE APPROVAL OF A PARKING PLAN AND LIMITATIONS ON COMMERCIAL USES, REGULATIONS ON OUTDOOR DINING AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SIDEWALK AND PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING. THE APPLICANT HAS HELD A COMMUNITY MEETING FOR THIS PROPOSAL ON APRIL 21 OF THIS YAR. WHICH APPROXIMATELY FIVE PEOPLE ATTENDED IN PERSON AND SIX ATTENDED VIRTUALLY AND ALL GENERALLY WERE SUPPORTED. THERE IS SOME OPPOSITION TO THIS CASE. FOUR RESIDENTS SPOKE AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOICING CONCERNS OF CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC IN A SUBDIVISION ESPECIALLY IF A TRAFFIC LIGHT IS WARRANTED AT THE INTERSECTION OF JOHN ROLFE AND GLEN EAGLES DRIVE.

OTHER CONCERNS WERE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON SCHOOLS.

IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC THERE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS TRAFFIC COMPARED TO THE 80,000 SQUARE FOOT SHOPPING CENTER CURRENTLY APPROVED FOR THE SITE TODAY. IT WOULD GENERATE APPROXIMATELY 4,000 TRIPS A DAY AND THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 820 TRIPS WHICH IS ABOUT AN 80% REDUCTION. THE ADJACENT ROADWAYS CAN ACCOMMODATE THE TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THE PROPOSAL.

IN TERMS OF SCHOOLS, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO A SLIGHT OVERCROWDING AT GAYTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE POTENTIAL YIELD IS 11 STUDENTS THERE AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY AT 100.9% CAPACITY.

THE SLIGHT INCREASE IS NOT ABNORMAL WITH DEVELOPMENT AS WE GROW. AND STAFF WORKS WITH SCHOOLS OR SCHOOLS WORKS WITH PLANNING ZONES ON EVERY REZONING CASE AND ALSO PREPARING FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THINKING AHEAD FOR OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE NEEDS.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL, POCAHONTAS AND (INAUDIBLE) CAN ANTICIPATE THE STUDENTS ANTICIPATED FROM THE DEVELOPMENT. THE 2026 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDS COMMERCIAL CONCENTRATION ON THE SITE WHICH REALLY REFLECTS THE CURRENT ZONING WHICH OCCURRED IN 2016.

JUST TO NOTE BEFORE THIS WITH THE CHURCH PUMP STUDY IN 2006 IT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL AND CHANGED IN ANTICIPATION OF COMMERCIAL DEMAND WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS OF JOHN ROLFE AND CHURCH ROAD. OVERALL THE SUBMITTED PROFFERS WOULD INSURE A COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE STREET SCAPE, AMENITIES AND A MORE WALKABLE COMMUNITY AND BE LESS INTENSIVE AND LESS IMPACTS ON TRAFFIC.

FOR THESE REASONS STAFF SUPPORTS THE REQUESTS SUBJECT TO THE PROFFERS IN THE STAFF REPORT AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AT THE MAY 13 MEETING. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION USE HAVE.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. MOORE?

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: I HAVE ONE OR TWO.

THERE HAS BEEN A CONCERN VOICE BECAUSE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THESE CONDOS, DO THEY HAVE YARD SPACE OR YARDS FOR CHILDREN? OR A PLAYGROUND?

>> THE AMENITIES AS YOU SAW REALLY GEAR ITSELF TO MORE, I GUESS, YOUNG ADULTS. WITH THE GATHERING SPACES.

THERE ARE OUTDOOR AMENITIES BUT NONE REALLY GEARED TOWARD

CHILDREN SPECIFICALLY. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: THANK YOU.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> THOMAS BRANIN: THE COMMERCIAL?

[00:50:01]

>> YES, SIR. >> THOMAS BRANIN: I DIDN'T SEE IN THE PROFFERS ANY EXCLUSIONS OF DRIVE-THRU.

WAS THERE? >> YES, SIR.

WE INCLUDE THAT IN THE PUP CONDITIONS.

WE ACTUALLY PLACED -- STAFF PLACED THE CONDITIONS W WITH -- WOULD PROHIBIT ANY DRIVE-THRU FACILITIES AS PART OF

THE COMMERCIAL. >> THOMAS BRANIN: I DIDN'T CATCH

THAT. >> THAT'S IN THE PUP STAFF

REPORT CONDITION 4. >> THOMAS BRANIN: THANK YOU.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO OR AGAINST THIS CASE?

ANYBODY ON WEBEX? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MS. O'BANNON? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: WELL, I HAD A SPEECH PLANNED. I DO WANT TO MENTION -- I'LL SHOW I GUESS THE TIME I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD, I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND HAVE HAD DIFFERENT MEETINGS WITH MANY NEIGHBORS THROUGH THE YEARS IN THIS GENERAL AREA SINCE ABOUT 1996. I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.

THIS HAS GONE THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES AND PERMITATIONS THROUGH THE YEARS. EACH TIME ANY PORTION OF THIS AREA, GENERALLY, I'LL SAY HAS COME UP, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON IT. WE SPENT LOT OF TIME ON THIS IN VARIOUS FORMS THROUGH THE YEARS. AS YOU HEARD, THIS IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE, AND I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN DRUGSTORES AND GROCERY STORES INTERESTED IN THIS PROPERTY, BUT AFTER 15 YEARS, THE MARKET DOES NOT BEAR TO HAVE -- THE MARKET IS NOT THERE TO HAVE A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THERE.

SO THIS PARTICULAR ZONING IS GEARED TOWARD, I'LL SAY, MAYBE A YOUNGER CROWD OR EVEN A RETIREE THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO DO YARD WORK AND THAT SORT OF THING PERSONALLY. I THINK THIS CHANGE TO RESIDENTIAL, AND YOU COULD ACTUALLY CALL IT A DOWN ZONING WHICH MEANS A LESSER IMPACT. OBVIOUSLY JUST HEARING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT WOULD GO THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO EVEN THAT GOING FROM 4,000 TO A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO APPROXIMATELY 800 IS AMAZING, THAT I THINK IT WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO AROUND HERE, PARTICULARLY ON CHURCH ROAD THERE WILL BE CHANGES COMING UP IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR THAT ARE GOING TO IMPROVE THE WALKABILITY OF THE AREA AND SAFETY OF THE ROADWAY. SO MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH THAT, I MOVE WE APPROVE REZONING CASE 2021-00025, REP KEY COMPANY WITH THE PROFFERS IN THE STAFF REPORT DATED APRIL 26, 2021.

>> FRANK THORNTON: SECOND. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

MOTION CARRIED. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT WAS ALSO PRESENTED SO CONSIDERING THE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT, AND I THINK MS. MOORE CHARACTERIZED IT WELL IN THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. BEING ABLE TO DO THAT AND MEET THE NUMBER OF UNITS, BUT IT'S TOTALLY CAPPED AT 81.

I THINK -- I'LL SAY, I THINK THAT HELPS -- IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I THINK -- BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE SAID THEY WANTED SOME PLACE THEY COULD WALK TO WITH COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

I'M NOT SURE IF THEY HAVE A PERSON READY TO MOVE IN, BUT I THINK THEY GOT A RECOMMENDATION FOR A DAYCARE.

SO I GET THE FEELING OTHER PARTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT. OTHER AREAS AROUND THERE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT. SO MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE WE APPROVE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT, PUP 2021-00009 WITH THE 10 CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

>> FRANK THORNTON: SECOND. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM. BECAUSE IT'S A SEPARATE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM, I'LL MAKE SURE NO ONE WANTS TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT. ANYBODY ON WEBEX TO SPEAK TO THE

PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT? >> YES, SIR.

I HAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: SORRY.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: GO RIGHT AHEAD.

>> I'M TERRY VABRA. I RESIDE IN (INAUDIBLE) CIRCLE WITH MY WIFE, LINDA. I FIND IT USUAL TO BE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE DEVELOPER THIS EVENING, BECAUSE IN THE LAST 15 YEARS, IN THREE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, I'VE SPOKEN AGAINST DEVELOPMENTS AND SUCCEEDED IN THE WITHDRAWAL OF ALL THREE

[00:55:04]

SO MY COMMENTS TONIGHT ARE MADE ON BEHALF OF MY WIFE LINDA AND MYSELF. IN OUR PREVIOUS OBJECTION TO REBKEE SHIER'S PROPOSAL, WE WEREN'T FWENS THE FACT THEY WERE ENTITLED TO MAKE SOME SORT OF REASONABLE RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN THE PROPERTY. IN FACT, WE HONORED THAT.

WE SIMPLY HOPES THAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH SOME (INAUDIBLE) AND THE FACT THAT REBKEE DID LISTEN TO US AND CAME BACK WITH A SUBSTANTIALLY REVISED PROJECT PROPOSAL, I THINK IT'S EXTRAORDINARY. WE COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT THE PREVIOUS 225 UNITS WERE FAR TOO DENSE A DEVELOPMENT FOR THE AREA. THEY CHANGED THAT TO 81 UNITS.

WE ASKED OR SUGGESTED THAT OWNER OCCUPIED RESIDENCES WOULD BE MORE IN KEEPING WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

THEY CHANGED THEIR PROPOSAL FROM APARTMENTS TO TOWNHOUSES.

WE WORRIED THAT 225 FAMILIES IN THE AREA WOULD PUT A SEVERE HARDSHIP OR STRAIN ON THE SCHOOL SY SYSTEM AND INCREASE TRAFFIC. BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF UNITS TO 81, BY CHANGING THE CONFIGURATION OF THE UNITS ORIENTED MORE TOWARDS YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND SENIORS, WE THINK THEY LISTENED AND ACCOMPLISHED BOTH THE REDUCING THE STRAIN ON THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND REDUCING THE POSSIBLE TRAFFIC THAT THE PROJECT WOULD BRING TO THE LOCALITY.

FINALLY, WE SAID AESTHETICALLY, THE PRIOR PROPOSAL FOR THE FOUR-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING WOULD CREATE AESTHETICALLY A TUNNEL EFFECT DOWN JOHN ROLFE PARKWAY.

AGAIN, REBKEE LISTENED. THEIR NEW PROPOSAL SUGGESTS THREE STORY UNITS IN THE PERIMETER OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME FOUR-STORY UNITS ON THE INTERIOR.

WE THINK THAT SATISFIED THAT CONCERN.

IN GENERAL, I BELIEVE REBKEE AND MY WIFE AGREES DID A REMARKABLE JOB IN LISTENING TO THE CONCERNS OF NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS AND I APPLAUD THEM FOR LISTENING. I ALSO, LINDA AND I ARE THANKFUL TO THE HENRICO COUNTY OFFICIALS, MS. O'BANNON, MR. (INAUDIBLE) AND BEN SEAL FOR OBVIOUSLY FACILITATING AN AMIABLE AND WORKABLE SOLUTION. SO I FIRMLY SUPPORT THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION AND URGE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO APPROVE REBKEE'S PROPOSAL.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: THANK YOU, MR. BARBER. YOU GAVE A BETTER SPEECH THAN I DID. ALSO, I THINK I WANT TO GET A RECORDING OF THAT AND PLAY IT TO EVERY DEVELOPER.

MR. CHAIRMAN, WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I WANT TO POINT OUT TOO, HE IS CORRECT. REBKEE DID LISTEN AND WE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS AND WENT BACK AND FORTH ON A FEW THINGS.

I THINK WE HAVE COME TO A VERY GOOD SORT OF A COMPROMISE AND A VERY GOOD AND REASONABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. MOTION MADE BY MS. O'BANNON AND SECONDED BY MR. THORNTON. SEEING ALL PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE COVERED, THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. MR. MANAGER?

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: FINAL CASE THIS AFTERNOON IS 180-21 WITH A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM

[8d. 180-21 REZ2021-00022 Varina FON-SAW, LLC: Request to rezone from R-2AC One-Family Residence District (Conditional) to C-1 Conservation District part of Parcel 820-686-4881 containing .043 acres approximately 630’ southeast and approximately 1000’ east of the intersection of Golden Eye Lane and Heather Ridge Road. The applicant proposes a conservation area. The use will be controlled by zoning ordinance regulations. The 2026 Comprehensive Plan recommends Environmental Protection Area. The site is in the Airport Safety Overlay District. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant the request. ]

[01:00:02]

>> THANK YOU. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE FOUR MILE RUN SUBDIVISION. THE CASE REQUIRES AREAS WITHIN A 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN TO BE REZONED PRIOR TO RECOMMENDATION OF THE SUBDIVISION PLAT. THIS REQUEST WOULD FULFILL THE REQUIREMENT AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 2026 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AREA FOR THE SUBJECT SITE. FOR THESE REASONS, STAFF SUPPORTS THE REQUEST AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THE MEETING. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THE CASE?

ANYBODY ONLINE? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MR. NELSON? >> TYRONE NELSON: MOVE THAT WE APPROVE REZ 2021-00022 FON-SAW LLC.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MOTION CARRIES.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: WE MOVE INTO PUBLIC HEARING OTHER ITEMS. IN THIS PORTION OF THE AGENDA, YOU HAVE FOUR ITEMS FOR YOUR

[9. PUBLIC HEARINGS - OTHER ITEMS ]

[9a. 181-21 Resolution - Amendments to FY 2020-21 Annual Fiscal Plan: June 2021. ]

>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THESE AMENDMENTS WERE INTRODUCED AT THE LAST MEETING MAY 25. THIS WAS ADVERTISED JUNE 1.

THE TOTAL AS A SUMMARY FOR THE BOARD AND PUBLIC IS $25.7 MILLION. THE LARGEST ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION IS 81.MILLION. OF -- $8.1 MILLION.

THERE IS ALSO $5 MILLION TO FULLY FUND OUR RISK MANAGEMENT CLAIMS. COMING FROM THE SELF-INSURANCE RESERVE. $3 MILLION TO FULLY APPROPRIATE THE STATE GASOLINE TAX FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE PURPOSES.

THEN $4.4 MILLION IN CAPITAL PROJECT.

$2 MILLION FROM THE CENTRAL VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY. WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

THAT YOU HAVE. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: I HAVE ONE. I'VE GOTTEN CALLS.

I ALWAYS GET THIS CALL. IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS IS NOT NEW -- THIS IS NOT CHANGING THE ORIGINAL BUDGET.

THIS IS NEW MONEY THAT'S COME IN.

WE HAVE TO MANAGE IT. THIS IS AN ALLOCATION? COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT?

DOESN'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT. >> YES, MA'AM.

THESE ARE NEW APPROPRIATIONS FOR ITEMS THAT, YOU KNOW, MUCH OF IT ACTUALLY OVER 35% IS FUNDING THAT WE ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE THAT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE WHEN WE ADOPTED FISCAL

YEAR 2021 BUDGET. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: THANK YOU.

THAT'S THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: JUST TO REMIND FOLKS IN ATTENDANCE, THE COUNTY CUT THE BUDGET OR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DID BY $100 MILLION GOING INTO THE RESULT OF THE ECONOMIC DISRUPTION FROM COVID. THIS COUNTY IS THE ONLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THE COMMONWEALTH THAT'S BEEN APPROPRIATING OR THE BOARD BASICALLY RELEASING THEM EVERY 90 DAYS.

THAT'S A VERY CAREFUL MECHANISM, IF YOU WILL.

THAT APPROACH HAS ACTUALLY ALLOWED US AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT YEAR END WE'LL HAVE A POSITIVE RESULT OF OPERATIONS AND ACTUALLY HAVE WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SURPLUS BECAUSE OF THOSE ACTIONS EVEN IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE BUDGET WAS REDUCED BY 100 MILLION THERE IS.

THAT I OFFER AS PERSPECTIVE. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: I UNDERSTAND WE DIDN'T PRE-ANTICIPATE FEDERAL FUNDING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WE STUCK WITH THEIR OWN MONEY WE

[01:05:01]

SO I WANT TO POINT THAT OUT TOO. THANK YOU.

IT'S A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION. THEY SEE IT IN THE PAPER AND THINK WE'RE DOING SOMETHING BRINGING IN, YOU KNOW, CHANGING EVERYTHING WE ALREADY VOTED ON. SO THANK YOU.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JUSTIN? IS THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYBODY IN THE ROOM WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE? ANYBODY ON WEBEX?

>> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM. SEEING NONE.

I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION. >> MOVE.

>> SECOND. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. MR. MANAGER?

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: THE NEXT TWO CASES, MR. BLANKENSHIP IS

[9b. 182-21 Ordinance - To Enact a New Subdivision Ordinance by Repealing Chapter 19 of the Code of the County of Henrico Titled “Subdivisions” and Replacing It with a New Chapter 19 Titled “Subdivisions.” ]

HE HAS ONE PRESENTATION THAT COVERS BOTH THESE ITEMS. 182-21. IT'S AN ORDINANCE TO ENACT A NEW SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE BY REPEALING CHAPTER 19 OF THE COVID-19 OF THE COUNTY TITLED SUBDIVISIONS AND REPLACING IT WITH A NEW CHAPTER 19 TITLED SUBDIVISIONS.

[9c. 183-21 Ordinance - To Enact a New Zoning Ordinance by Repealing Chapter 24 of the Code of the County of Henrico Titled “Zoning” and Replacing It with a New Chapter 24 Titled “Zoning.” ]

THESE OF COURSE COVERED AT THE ANNUAL RETREAT.

NUMBER OF WORK SESSIONS. I BELIEVE IT'S BEEN AMENDED 300 TIMES? WITH THAT, MR. BLANKENSHIP.

>> THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ONE OF THE ACTION ITEMS WAS THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES SHOULD BE REVIEWED FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE NEW PLAN.

WE HAD OUR CONSULTANT PREPARE AN ASSESSMENT AND IDENTIFY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE CURRENT CODES AND AREAS WHERE THEY COULD BE IMPROVED. THE PROCESS HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY SEVEN KEY THEMES. THE FIRST OF COURSE IS TO IMPLEMENT THE VISION 2026 PLAN. EVERYTHING WE DO IN ZONING AND SUBDIVISION IS AN ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT OUR PLAN.

TO ALLOW FOR GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARENA. TO MAKE REGULATIONS EASIER TO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND MAKE THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS EASIER TO NAVIGATE AND UNDERSTAND. TO UPDATE THE DISTRICTS AND USES. THEY ARE ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD AND MORE. TO UPDATE THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. AND ALSO TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE. TO BEGIN WITH WHAT'S NOT CHANGING, MOST OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS WILL REMAIN AND THEY'LL REMAIN IN THE SAME PLACES.

THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME NAMES AND DESIGNATIONS THAT THEY HAVE NOW.

MOST OF THE EXISTING OVERLAY DISTRICTS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.

THEY'LL BE IN THE SAME PLACES. THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE REZONING OF THE COUNTY. WE'RE NOT MAKING WHOLESALE CHANGES. ONLY TWO SMALL CHANGES TO THE ZONING MAP. MANY OF THE REGULATIONS WILL REMAIN THE SAME. MANY OF THE LISTED USES WILL REMAIN THE SAME. SO THE USES THAT PEOPLE HAVE ARE NOT BEING TAKEN AWAY. THEY'RE NOT BEING DISRUPTED.

NO NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT CREATING A LOT OF NON-CONFORMING USES. WE ARE DOING SOME CHANGES TO BRING THINGS TO CURRENT TRENDS AND TO MEET THE CURRENT MARKET REQUIREMENTS. BACK AROUND 20 YEARS AAGO, THE BOARD MADE THE DECISION NOT TO ALLOW ANY FURTHER REZONINGS TO THE R-3A, R' 4 AND R-4A. THE ECONOMY CHANGED QUITE A BIT IN 20 YEARS. RE BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO BRING THE DISTRICTS BACK INTO PLAY. ALSO THE R-5A DISTRICT WAS AMENDED SOME YEARS AGO TO ONLY ALLOW DETACHED DWELLINGS ON LOT LINES. WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THE R-5A DISTRICT.

ALSO AS I MENTIONED, MOST OF THE DISTRICTS ARE NOT CHANGING.

WE ARE DELETING SEVERAL. THE RFP RESIDENTIAL HOME DISTRICT, THE PFP PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND I-1 INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT ARE ALL DISTRICTS CREATED BEFORE PROFFERS WERE ALLOWED UNDER VIRGINIA LAW AND THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THOSE DISTRICTS ARE NOW ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PROFFERED REZONING AND NO LONGER NECESSARY.

WE'RE ALSO CONSOLIDATING THE OS AND OS-2 DISTRICTS BECAUSE THE TWO WERE JUST SOMEWHAT REDUNDANT NOW.

WE'RE INTRODUCING INNOVATIVE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AMONG THOSE DISTRICTS USED ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND VIRGINIA FOR SOME

[01:10:03]

THIS WOULD CREATE FOUR NEW PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS EACH WITH A DIFFERENT CHARACTER AND FOCUS.

INTENDED FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS. WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING NEW OVERLAY DISTRICTS. THE ROUTE 5 CORRIDOR OVERLAY IS THE CORRIDOR STUDY UNDERWAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

THE GLEN ALLEN OVERLAY DISTRICT IS SIMILARLY AN OUTGROWTH OF THE SMALL AREA STUDY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DRIVING WHAT WE DO IN ZONING AND WE'RE ALSO INTRODUCING ALTERNATIVE OVERLAY DISTRICTS FOR FIVE SPECIFIC YEARS WHERE WE FEEL THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY AND POTENTIAL FOR GREATER INVESTMENT AND GREATER INTENSITY OF USE THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW.

THE FORM-BASED ALTERNATIVE DOES NOT TAKE ANY OF THE UNDERLYING REZONING AWAY. ANY DEVELOPER WHO WANTS TO CONTINUE WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING CAN DO THAT.

ALLOWS AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF DEVELOPING PROPERTY THAT'S MORE INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE AND ALLOWS FOR MIXING OF USES AND MORE MODERN DESIGNS. AMONG MAJOR CHANGES TO THE USES, THERE ARE A LOT OF SMALL CHANGES.

IN THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS WE ARE ENCOURAGING SMALL SCALE AGR AGRICULTURE AND THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS. WE'D ALLOW BACKYARD HENS AND BEE KEEPING AND ACCESSORY APARTMENTS BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS THROUGH THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS REVIEWED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. WE CREATED REGULATIONS TO ALLOW FOR THAT. THE OFFICE DISTRICTS ARE BECOMING MORE FLEXIBLE ALLOWING RESTAURANTS AND SUPPORTING RETAIL USES. COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS ARE MADE MORE FLEXIBLE AS A WAY OF CONTINUING TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. MAJOR CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. OUR PARKING STANDARDS ARE SOMEWHAT OUT OF DATE. OUR CONSULTANT ADVISED US THE STANDARDS ARE HIGHER THAN THEY SHOULD BE WHICH DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A PROBLEM BUT IT'S HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT TO CONTINUE TO COVER GREEN FIELDS WITH ASPHALT MORE THAN A NECESSARY.

WE NEED PARKING NECESSARY BUT NOT A GREAT DEAL MORE THAN IS NECESSARY. OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE CLARIFIED AND STANDARDIZED. SAME FOR EXTERIOR LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE'RE INTRODUCING NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS AS WE SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT COMING IN ADJACENT TO ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE WANTED TO PUT REGULATIONS IN PLACE TO PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAKE SURE THERE IS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND EXISTING NEIGHBOR'S.

HAD ALL THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE ZONING ORDINANCE WHICH IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE WORK DONE. THIS IS AS YOU SAID ALSO A COMPLETE REVISION OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE WHICH IS OLDER THAN THE ZONING ORDINANCE WRITTEN IN 1955.

THE MAIN CHANGE THERE, THERE WERE A LOT OF CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE ORDINANCE BRINGING THINGS IN LINE.

THE MAIN CHANGES IS CREATING A PROCESS FOR MINOR SUBDIVISIONS SO THE COUNTY WILL HAVE A MORE STREAMLINED WAY TO REVIEW SMALL CHANGES. BOUNDARY LINE VACATIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS AND ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND ALSO THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE -- MINOR SUBDIVISIONS WOULD APPLY FOR THE FIRST SPLIT OF A PROPERTY SINCE 1987 WHICH IS PREVIOUSLY EXEMPT. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR PROCESS CHANGES WE ARE RECOMMENDING IN THE ORDINANCE.

THIS HAS BEEN A THREE-YEAR PROCESS.

IT BEGAN WITH OUR CONSULTANTS HOLDING INTERVIEWS WITH EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD AND PLANNING COMMISSION AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH THE CODES EVERY DAY.

BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS. WE DID HAVE VOLUNTEER COMMITTEES WHO JUST PULLED THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND HAD MEETINGS AND CAME UP WITH IDEAS THEY WANTED TO SEE AND CALLED US AND ASKED TO MEET WITH US WHICH WAS VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE INPUT COMING TO US ORGANICALLY IN THAT MANNER. WE WERE PLEASED WITH THAT PART OF THE PROCESS. THE BOARD APPOINTED EXPERTS.

MANY OF WHOM HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN HENRICO COUNTY TO KEEP CONSULTANTS GROUNDED AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING PROPOSED IS SUITABLE FOR US HERE.

PLANNING COMMISSION HELD A SERIES OF EIGHT WORK SESSIONS LAST YEAR. TOTAL OF 12 HOURS OF GOING THROUGH THIS WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB AND MAKING A LOT OF

[01:15:03]

FINALLY, AS THE MANAGER MENTIONED, THE BOARD HELD A HALFDAY WORK SESSION TO GO THROUGH THIS IN GREAT DETAIL.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR AND TONIGHT IS THE PUBLIC HEARING WHICH WE HOPE WILL BE JUST ABOUT THE LAST STEP.

SO THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW.

THIS ALSO TURNED OUT TO BE AN EXCELLENT TIME TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE WAY FLOOD PLAINS ARE REGULATED.

WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THE FLOOD PLAIN REQUIREMENTS AND PUT THEM IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHAPTER OF THE COUNTY CODE WHICH IS A MUCH BETTER FIT IN THE WAY THEY'RE ADMINISTERED AND FORCED BUT IT'S NOT IN TIME FOR THE ADVERTISED DRAFT.

SO THE MANAGER SENT YOU A LETTER, I BELIEVE, IN YOUR PACK TOOTS LET YOU KNOW THERE -- PACKETS TO LET YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE TWO SUBSTITUTE PAPERS TO BRING THE CHANGE FORWARD AND OTHER LAST-MINUTE UPDATES AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE PUT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME INTO THIS AND SOME OF THEIR FINAL REVISIONS, YOU KNOW, ADJUSTING THE WORDING HERE. YOU SEE OVER MY SHOULDER, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUES THAT COME UP DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT INVOLVED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF HOURS AND MEETINGS AND AS PROJECT MANAGER, IT'S BEEN A DELIGHT TO PULL TOGETHER THAT EFFORTS SO I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM AND MANY OTHERS THOUGHT HERE THIS EVENING FOR ALL THE EFFORT GOING INTO THAT.

WITH THAT, MR. CHAIR, PUBLIC HEARING.

AFTER ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS RECEIVED, WE ASK YOU TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DEFER THE DECISION TO JUNE 22 TO BRING FORWARD THE SUBSTITUTE PAPERS AND ALSO RECOMMENDED THE EFFECTIVE DATE TO BE SEPTEMBER 1.

WITH THAT, I'M DELIGHTED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR WE CAN

PROCEED WITH PUBLIC COMMENT. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENTS?

>> FRANK THORNTON: AT WE'RE UPDATING THE ORDINANCES, AS YOU SAID, THEY'VE NOT BEEN DONE IN 60 YEARS.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT STREETLIGHTS.

AS THE COUNTY IS BECOMING MORE URBANIZED, WAS ANY OF THAT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OR NOT THE TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT?

I'D BE APPRECIATIVE. >> SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE ROLLED INTO THE CODES. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN THE STEP OF REQUIRING STREETLIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

BUT THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT IS ONGOING.

>> FRANK THORNTON: THANK YOU. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: I HAVE A QUESTION. WE HAVE CHANGED IT GRADUALLY PIECES BIT BY BIT THROUGH THE YEARS.

IS THE GOAL THAT THIS GOES IN -- WE TALKED ABOUT THE 2026 PLAN. IS THAT WHAT IT WILL BE CALLED? WHEN WE'RE FINISHED? DON'T WE USUALLY GO FURTHER OUT

THAN THAT? >> THIS WILL BE THE CODES FOLLOWING UP FROM THAT ORDINANCE AS YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BE BEGINNING A NEW REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

ALMOST ON ITS HEELS. THIS PROCESS TOOK LONG ENOUGH THAT IT'S ALREADY TIME TO DO ANOTHER REVISION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT'S OF COURSE REQUIRED BY STATE CODE TO BE DONE EVERY FIVE YEARS AND ZONING ONLY DONE AS NEEDED. WE ARE ALL ON THE STAFF SIDE COMMITTED TOWARD MAKING THIS MORE OF A REGULAR EVENT TO NOT

GET SO FAR BEHIND. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: WHAT WILL BE THE DATE FOR THE NEXT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: THAT IS 2024.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: WHAT WILL THE NEXT ONE BE CALLED?

>> I BELIEVE 2045. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: RIGHT.

WHAT I'M ELUDING TO -- >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: THIS TOOK

LONG TIME. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: THAT'S WHEN THAT WILL COME FORWARD TO THE BOARD.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: 2045. I HAD AN ARTICLE IN A NEWSPAPER THAT I GAVE TO MR. EMERSON ABOUT HOW IN 1988, THEY WERE RECOMMENDING IN PASSING THE 2008 PLAN.

SO THAT -- I REMEMBER IT. SO OKAY.

[01:20:05]

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR BEN? WE'LL MOVE ON BOTH OF THESE ITEMS. WE'LL ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENTS IN A COMBINED FASHION.

SO IF THERE IS ANYONE IN THE ROOM, BEFORE WE GET TO THE ROOM AND WEBEX, WE'LL GO TO THE FOLKS REGISTERED FIRST.

IS THAT CORRECT? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: WE HAVE FOUR INDIVIDUALS SIGNED UP.PI BELIEV CHAPTER 24.

BECAUSE THE ITEMS ARE SO INTER-RELATED, WHETHER YOU'RE HERE FOR CHAPTER 24 OR 19, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

THE BOARD DOES ASK THAT YOU LIMIT COMMENTS TO A FIVE-MINUTE MAX. WE HAVE ROB HARGIT.

ARE YOU ON WEBEX? >> DANIEL SCHMITT: HE WAS HERE

EARLIER. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: IS HE ON

WEBEX? >> NO, SIR.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: THE NEXT INDIVIDUAL IS MARK SLUSHER.

MR. SLUSHER? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: HE IS NOT

HERE EITHER. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: ALL RIGHT.

NEXT INDIVIDUAL AND MR. SLUSHER IS NOT ON WEBEX?

>> NO, SIR. HE IS NOT.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT INDIVIDUAL WHO IS SIGNED UP IS MS. RHONDA. MS. ABERNATHY?

>> I HAVE FIVE MINUTES OF DISPARAGING AND DISAPPOINTING EVENTS THAT LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BROOKLAND DISTRICT OR GLEN ALLEN SMALL STUDY AREA STUDY ALL OF WHICH ARE IN STARK CONTRAST TO WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.

THAT'S WHY YOU DO IT THIS WAY. MY HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE SAYING WHAT PEOPLE DO WRONG AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DO WHAT'S WRONG. I DON'T WANT TO UPSET PEOPLE LEAST OF ALL HIM. MY EXPERIENCE OF HENRICO BROOKLAND DISTRICT POLITICS HAS BEEN UPSETTING TO ME.

SO I GUESS I'LL SEND YOU ANOTHER E-MAIL AND YOU CAN READ IT IF

YOU WANT. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: THANK YOU, MA'AM. NEXT INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IS MS. RUTH GROVER. MS. GROVER?

ARE YOU ON WEBEX? >> HI.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: WE CAN.

>> HI. I'M RUTH GROVER WITH A LAND PLANNING AND CERTIFICATION BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PLANNERS. I HAVE OVER 35 YEARS EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS INCLUDING MOST RECENTLY WORKING FOR MACY NELSON WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS HEARING.

I'VE BEEN ASKED TO TESTIFY AS TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEVE REGARDING THE PROPOSED REWRITE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO SEVERAL NEWLY EVOLVED LAND USES WHICH INCLUDE DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES, LESS MILE HUBS AND PARKING FACILITIES THAT SERVE THE MOTOR DEPENDENT FACILITIES.

WE TESTIFIED BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN JANUARY REGARDING SIMILAR ISSUES AND MOST OF THAT TESTIMONY IS INCAPSULATED IN A LETTER DATED TODAY'S DATE WHICH WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO YOU BY E-MAIL. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT STORAGE AND/OR DISTRIBUTION AND THE PARKING FACILITIES THAT SUPPORTED THEM. AS EVIDENCE BY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO UPDATING THE ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES, THESE ARE LIVING DOCUMENTS WHICH MUST RESPOND AND BE MODIFIED TO NEW TRENDS, BUSINESS INDUSTRY AND LIFESTYLE.

WE'RE ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHIFT IN THE RETAIL INDUSTRY DUE IN PART TO THE PANDEMIC TOWARD ONLINE SALES.

THIS HAS PRODUCED A PROLIFERATION OF FACILITIES SUPPORTING THE SALES INCLUDING OVER 1 MILLION SQUARE FOOT DISTRIBUTION FULFILLMENT CENTERS, APPROXIMATELY 200,000 SQUARE FOOT LAST MILE HUBS WHICH BRING PURCHASED GOODS FROM POINTS OF MANUFACTURER OR INPUT TO THE LARGER CENTERS THEN TO THE HUBS FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE END LINE USERS, THE CONSUMER.

AND THE PARKING FACILITIES THAT SUPPORT THE FULFILLMENT CENTERS AND HUBS. TO DATE, MOST OF THESE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN INCLUDED, BUILT, PERMITTED AND ALLOWED BY LOCALITIES BY ZONING ORDINANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE USE TABLES AND APPLICABLE REGULATIONS FOR TRADITIONAL WAREHOUSING AND STANDARD PARKING DEFINITION.

[01:25:03]

THEY ARE OPERATIONALLY DIFFERENT FROM STANDARD WARE HUSBANDING AND HAVE MUCH GREATER OFFSITE IMPACTS IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC LIGHT AND NOISE ON THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAD SUGGESTED THAT THE DEFINITIONS IN THE PREVIOUS DRAFT SHOULD BE CLARIFIED AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THEY HAVE BEEN WITH NOW A DISTINCTION BETWEEN DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE WAREHOUSES. WE FEEL ANOTHER DEFINITION SHOULD BE ADDED FOR WAREHOUSES GREATER THAN 4,000 SQUARE FEET AND NEW REGULATION SHOULD BE PU WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE LARGEST 1 MILLION SQUARE FOOT FULFILLMENT CENTERS WHICH ARE DIVERGENT FROM OTHER DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES.

MAY MEASURE UP TO APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION SQUARE FEET AND OF WHICH THREE HAVE BEEN BUILT IN VIRGINIA.

THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS ON WHICH US PLANNERS RELY FOR TRIP GENERATION RATES HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT A FULFILLMENT CENTER AND LAND U USE -- LAST MILE HUBS ARE DIFFERENT NEW LAND USES WITH HIGHER TRIP GENERATION RATES.

ING THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE DRAFT, DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES ARE PROHIBITED BY WRIGHT IN THE MS, M1, M2, AND M3 ZONES AND LIP ZONES SUBJECT TO A MASTER PLAN. THE DEFINITION INCLUDED THEREIN IS FOR A STANDARD WAREHOUSE AND USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS ARE INSUFFICIENT TO PREVENT NEGATIVE OFFSITE IMPACTS AND ZONES IN THE WAY THEY'RE IMPROVED IN THE VARIOUS ZONES IS IDENTICAL TO TRADITIONAL STORAGE WAREHOUSES. WE FEEL THE DEFINITION AND REGULATION OF DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES MUST BE DIFFERENT THAN THAT OF STORAGE WAREHOUSES IN THAT THE LARGEST OF THE DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED SEPARATELY.

WE SUGGEST THAT DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES SHOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED BY WRIGHT IN THE M-3, SHOULD REQUIRE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL IN THE M-2 AND NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE M-1.

FURTHER WE'D SUGGEST THE LARGER DISTRIBUTION CENTERS REQUIRE CONDITIONAL USE IN ONLY BE PERMITTED IN THE M-3.

WE WOULD SUGGEST ALSO THAT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CONDITIONAL USES BE MADE MORE ROBUST TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT THEY FIT WELL WITH THEIR SURROUNDS. ADDITIONALLY, AND IN THE INTERIM BETWEEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE REWRITE, WE HAVE BECOME AWARE OF ANOTHER RELATED NEW LAND USE COMING INTO EXISTENCE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT NEW DISTRIBUTION WARHOUSES AND FULFILLMENT CENTERS.

THOSE OF PARKING TERMINALS UTILIZED TO PARK THE MANY VEHICLES NECESSARY FOR TRANSPORTING GOODS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS AMAZON FACILITIES AND THE END USER CONSUMER.

THESE FACILITIES ARE DIFFERENT FROM FULFILLMENT CENTERS AND DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES BUT BECAUSE HERE TOO ZONING ORDINANCES LAG BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE LAND USE ARE BEING BEHIND COMMERCIAL PARKING LOTS OR VEHICLE STORAGE

MR. MANAGER? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: NEXT IS 184-21. MR. HINTON IS GOING TO PRESENT A

[9d. 184-21 Resolution - Signatory Authority - License Agreement for 361 Dabbs House Road - Varina District. ]

I WON'T STEAL THAT THUNDER. >> THIS WOULD ALLOW THE HENRICO CHRISTMAS MOTHER PROGRAM TO CONTINUE TO OCCUPY AND USE DESIGNATED PORTIONS OF THE WAREHOUSE AT 361 DABBS HOUSE ROAD TO PROVIDE CHARITABLE SERVICES TO RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY. THIS WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE COUNTY USE OF THE PROPERTY. THE DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER

RECOMMENDS APPROVE. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: ANY

QUESTIONS? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: HOW BIG IS THIS PROPERTY? SQUARE FOOTAGE? HOW MUCH SPACE IS IT? THEY USE IT WELL.

I'M NOT PLAYING STUMP TONIGHT. >> GOOD EVENING.

I'M PART OF THE CHRISTMAS MOTHER COUNSEL.

WE THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING WAREHOUSE SPACE TO US FOR THE PAST 21 YEARS AND IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO CONSIDER EXTENDING THAT TIME THROUGH THIS REVOCABLE AGREEMENT.

WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE COUNTY AS WELL AS PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE HELPED US SO MUCH AND WE SHARE THE BUILDING WITH OTHERS. THE UNSHARED SPACE, THE AREA THAT IS PRIMARY SPACE IS ABOUT 11,000 SQUARE FEET.

THE SHARED SPACE IS APPROXIMATELY 4600 SQUARE FEET.

WE ONLY HAVE THE USE OF THAT FOR OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER.

WE SHARE THAT WITH SCHOOLS. MS. O'BANNON, YOU ASKED ABOUT THAT. OUR PROGRAM BEGAN 79 YEARS AGO, AND WE STARTED WITH JUST FOOD AND TOYS.

IN THE MIDST OF THE PANDEMIC YOU PROBABLY WONDER WHAT HAPPENED.

WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WITH THE HELP OF COUNTY OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET FUNDING FROM CITIZENS, BUSINESSES AND THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND ONLY REALLY ABLE TO PROVIDE GIFT CARDS THIS YEAR. WE TRIED TO BE AS GENEROUS AS WE POSSIBLY COULD FOR FOOD AND GIFTS AND WE WERE ABLE TO HELP 1582 FAMILIES WHICH WAS 4859 INDIVIDUALS OF WHICH CHILDREN AND SENIORS AND DISABLED WERE 752.

THIS WAS AN INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR OF OVER 118 FAMILIES WHICH HAD 300 MORE CHILDREN.

WE KNOW THERE WERE NEED AND WE WERE TRYING TO MEET THE NEED.

[01:35:03]

WE ARE PLANNING IN 2021 TO BE ANOTHER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE, HOPEFULLY A NORMAL YEAR, WITH FOOD, BOOKS, CLOTHING AND TOYS PROVIDED TO QUALIFIED FAMILIES. WE'RE PLANNING TO SERVE EVEN MORE FAMILIES OF 1700 FAMILIES WHICH WILL PROBABLY PROVIDE 3,000 CHILDREN WITH CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAY BENEFITS.

THE WAREHOUSE HAS BEEN PROVIDED OUR COUNCIL WITH OFFICE SPACE, MEETING SPACE, STORAGE SPACE AND DISTRIBUTION SPACE.

WE REQUEST YOU APPROVE THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT AND AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING SERVING THOSE IN NEED IN HENRICO COUNTY. I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MA'AM. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE?

ANYBODY ON WEBEX? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: SEEING NONE. >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: MOVE THE

RESOLUTION. >> SECOND.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

MR. MANAGER? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: WE MOVE INTO PUBLIC COMMENTS. I HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE

[10. PUBLIC COMMENTS ]

JUST A REMINDER FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS, YOUR COMMENTS THE BOARD REQUESTS LIMIT THOSE TO FIVE MINUTES.

YOU MAY SPEAK ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA.

FIRST WE HAVE MR. WILLIAM PAVOLA.

ARE YOU ON WEBEX? >> NO, HE IS NOT, SIR.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: OKAY. THE SECOND INDIVIDUAL -- I APOLOGIZE. WE HAVE THREE INDIVIDUALS THAT SIGNED UP. JOHN GANUOS.

ARE YOU ON WEBEX? >> YES, I AM.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: APOLOGIZE IF I MISPRONOUNCED THE LAST NAME.

>> JOHN GAINAS. I AM A RETIRED ARMY OFFICER.

I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE VIRGINIA DEFENSE FORCE.

AS A MEMBER OF THE DEFENSE FORCE, THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE VIRGINIA CODE THAT EXEMPTS MEMBERS' VEHICLES FROM PROPERTY TAX. I ADHERE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THAT CODE AND SUBMITTED MY DOCUMENTATION SIGNED BY THE GENERAL TO THE TAXATION OFFICE IN THE COUNTY DECEMBER 30, AND THROUGH E-MAILS BACK AND FORTH FOR MR. BILL WALTON, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION WITH HIM AND THE HOUSE ATTORNEY ABOUT WHETHER THE EXEMPTION COULD BE APPROVED. THE FIRST OF JUNE, I GOT A LETTER FROM ONE OF THE TAX AUDITORS SAYING THAT THE ATTORNEY DETERMINED IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE.

HOWEVER, THE CODE CLEARLY STATES THAT THE COMMISSIONER, YOU KNOW, MAY APPROVE THAT AND I DON'T THINK THAT THIS WAS VETTED OUT PROPERLY TO EXTEND THE EXTENSION OF THE EXEMPTION TO ME.

I DO HAVE THE CODE IF YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE IT.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: IS THAT ALL, SIR?

>> YES, IT IS. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MS. COATS, ARE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT? EITHER PODIUM.

WHICHEVER YOU LIKE. >> SURE.

SO THE STATE CODE THAT THE GENTLEMAN IS REFERENCING REALLY SPEAKS TO THE EXEMPTION FOR PERMANENTLY AND TOTALLY DISABLED VETERANS. IT DOES GIVE LOCALITYS THE OPTION TO SET A SEPARATE TAX RATE FOR MEMBERS OF THE VIRGINIA DEFENSE FORCE WHICH IS BASICALLY THE NATIONAL GUARD BUT DOESN'T EXEMPT THEM BY RIGHT. HENRICO WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO SET A SEPARATE RATE FOR THAT GROUP OF FOLKS AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE IS ONLY ONE LOCALITY IN THE STATE THAT IS CURRENTLY DOING THIS AND IT'S LOWDEN IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: MS. COATES, I'M GETTING QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

THIS IS A SEPARATE TAX RATE THAT WOULD BE SET, WHAT, AT THE TIME THE BOARD SETS TAX RATES IN APRIL?

>> DURING THE NORMAL BUDGET PROCESS, YEAH.

YOU COULD REVISIT THIS OVER THE WINTER IF YOU'D LIKE TO.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: WE HAVE ADDITIONAL TAX RATES FOR

[01:40:02]

GIVE US SOME OF THE EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVE IN DIFFERENT TAX RATES THAT THE BOARD ESTABLISHED OVER TIME.

>> YEAH. SO FOR INDIVIDUALS, THE TWO YOU MENTIONED REALLY ARE THE ONLY PLACES WHERE WE DO THAT AND BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS, THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF INDUSTRIES THAT WE CALL OUT. YOU MAY RECALL LOWERING THE BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR DATA CENTERS AS AN EXAMPLE TO UNDO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT ACTIVITY. GENERALLY WE DON'T SET RATES FOR CLASSIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS UNLESS IT'S MANDATED BY THE

STATE CODE. >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: SO THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO REVISIT A SEPARATE TAX RATE

WOULD BE? >> IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR AS WE ADVERTISE TAX RATES FOR THE NEXT CALENDAR YEAR.

YOU ALREADY SET THEM FOR THIS FULL CALENDAR YEAR.

>> TYRONE NELSON: SO MR. GAINES, CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND -- WE HAVE IT. WE'LL GET SOMEBODY TO REACH OUT TO YOU. WE'LL MAKE THIS A PART OF OUR DISCUSSION. YOU ALREADY HEARD, WE HAVE ALREADY SET THE BUDGET, VOTED ON IT.

ANY ADJUSTMENT WE MAKE WILL HAVE TO BE FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR NEXT YEAR. WE'LL DEFINITELY KEEP IT IN MIND. I SHARED WITH THE GOOD FOLK ON THE BOARD CLOSE TO ME THAT YOU'RE A GOOD GUY.

WE'LL DO WHAT WE CAN TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU AND OTHERS.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, SIR.

APPRECIATE IT, SIR. THANK YOU.

MR. MANAGER, ANYBODY ELSE? >> JOHN VITHOULKAS: I DO.

I HAVE ONE OTHER INDIVIDUAL. THAT IS MR. JOHN OWENS.

MR. OWENS, ARE YOU ON WEBEX? >> YES? MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND COUNTY MANAGER, I'M JOHN OWENS OF THE BROOKLAND DISTRICT. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED THAT FOR EXCHANGE IN RETURN OF VERIZON'S CABLE EQUIPMENT, WE ARE REQUIRED TO MAIL IT TO A VERIZON DEPOT AT OUR EXPENSE.

THIS IS UNFAIR EXPENSIVE AND FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY SINCE VERIZON WIRELESS HAS HALF A DOZEN STORES IN HENRICO COUNTY THAT COULD EASILY VISIT TO RETURN OR EXCHANGE EQUIPMENT THAT'S NOT PERMITTED BY THE COMPANY.

COMCAST, ANOTHER CABLE FRANCHISE IN HENRICO COUNTY, HAS A CUSTOMER SERVICE LOCATION IN HENRICO WHERE YOU CAN VISIT AND OBTAIN NEW EQUIPMENT, EXCHANGE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND RETURN EQUIPMENT AT THE END OF SERVICE. IT'S APPARENT IT'S WORKABLE TO OFFER REASONABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR CABLE TELEVISION AT LEAST FOR ONE VENDOR. WE ADVOCATE THE COUNTY OF HENRICO REQUIRE AS PART OF ESTABLISHING THE RENEWING THE CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE EQUIPMENT TO REQUIRE THE PROVIDER TO PROVIDE A PHYSICAL LOCATION IN THE COUNTY WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN OBTAIN EQUIPMENT, EXCHANGE EQUIPMENT AND RETURN EQUIPMENT AT THE END OF THE SERVICE CONTRACT WITHOUT CHARGE.

IN FACT, SINCE HENRICO SPANS QUITE A DISTANCE EAST TO WEST, A MINIMUM OF TWO LOCATIONS SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THE FRANCHISEE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. WE HAVE MR. NEAL HERE.

IS THERE INFORMATION WE CAN GET TO THIS GENTLEMAN?

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, PYM. WE DO HAVE A LOCATION TO RETURN EQUIPMENT. VERIZON ALLOWS THE CUSTOMERS TO PRINT A LABEL AND EXCHANGE EQUIPMENT THAT WAY WITHOUT ANY

CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMERS. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: JOHN ROLFE?

>> YES. THERE IS ANOTHER ONE IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND AND ALSO IN CHESTERFIELD AS WELL.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: GOTCHA. WE APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING TO OUR ATTENTION AND SOMETHING WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH MR. NEAL ABOUT. CERTAINLY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JOHN.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ON WEBEX?

>> NO, SIR. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TONIGHT.

>> JOHN VITHOULKAS: OKAY. MR. CHAIRMAN, ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS EVENING? ALL RIGHT. WE MOVE INTO THE GENERAL AGENDA.

[11c. 187-21 Resolution - Declaration of Surplus Property, Request for Sealed Bids, and Authorization of Contract - 1015 Pennsylvania Avenue - Fairfield District. ]

MR. HINTON? >> YES, SIR.

IT'S TOUGH TO FOLLOW. THIS BOARD PAPER ON YOUR AGENDA IS ASKING THE BOARD TO DECLARE TWO COUNTY-OWNED PARCELS AS SURPLUS PROPERTY. THEY ALL DETERMINED THE PARCELS ARE NO LONGER NEEDED FOR COUNTY USE.

POTENTIAL BUYERS, EACH OF WHICH OWN ADJOINING PROPERTY EXPRESSED INTEREST AND BOTH PARCELS HAVE POTENTIAL, AND UNDERSCORE POTENTIAL, TO BE BUILDABLE.
