EXISTING LAND USE: Lynnhaven Mall, LAND USE AND PLAN INFORMATION SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North: Retail shops / B-2 Community Business District South: Retail shops / B-2 Community Business District East: Retail shops / B-2 Community Business District West: Retail shops / B-2 Community Business District NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: Suburban mall with the building centrally located surrounded by surface and structured parking. There are no known significant natural resources or cultural features on this site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area of the City is designated as Special Economic Growth Area (SEGA) 2 West Oceana. Much of this area is subject to Navy restrictive easements and all of this area is inside the AICUZ. All new or improved development proposals must adhere to the City s AICUZ provisions. This is viewed as a special area with significant economic value and growth potential. The City supports development and redevelopment of this area consistent with AICUZ provisions and the City s economic growth strategy. The planning principles for the Suburban Area are reinforced by Special Area Development Guidelines for site and building design in the Comprehensive Plan s Reference Handbook. These design principles are tailored for this area and implemented, as appropriate, to improve the quality of our physical environment. Building materials should reflect the character of the area associated with it. CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): The site is part of a large shopping mall with multiple signalized and unsignalized access points to Lynnhaven Parkway and South Lynnhaven Road. Additional collector and arterial roadways, such as Bow Creek Boulevard and International Parkway, form the fourth leg at some of the signalized mall entrances. According to the Master Transportation Plan Major Street Network Ultimate Rights-of-Way list adopted by City Council in 2010, Lynnhaven Parkway is to be expanded to 8 lanes. All other streets in the site s area are fully built-out or unlisted. There is one active CIP project affecting mall entrances, CIP # Lynnhaven Parkway/International Parkway Intersections Improvements. TRAFFIC: Street Name Lynnhaven Parkway Present Present Capacity Volume 39,000 ADT 1 Up to 42,100 ADT 1 (Level of Service D or better) - Capacity Generated Traffic Existing Land Use 2 36,200 ADT 704 AM Peak Hour Trips Page 2

There are multiple existing water meters, which may be used or upgraded. There is a 10-inch City water main in an easement looping around Lynnhaven Mall. SEWER: This site connects to City sanitary sewer. Analysis of Pump Station #513 and the sanitary sewer collection system is required to determine if future flows can be accommodated. There is a 10-inch City gravity sanitary sewer in an easement. HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Restaurant plans must be submitted to the Virginia Beach Department of Public Health for review and approval. A Virginia Department of Health permit to operate a restaurant is required prior to opening. The request for a Conditional Use Permit for an indoor recreational facility is acceptable. This proposal will be utilizing approximately 40,743 square feet of retail space within the mall. With the rise of internet commerce, there has been an increasing need by mall operators to turn spaces in malls into something other than retail or dining. This indoor recreational use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan s land use policies for SEGA 2 West Oceana and the Suburban Area. Although this proposed entertainment venue will have its own exterior entrance, this facility will be tucked into an internal corner of what is mainly a service area of a mall. Given this location, the need to create visual interest and a presence in an otherwise dull space is necessary for an entertainment type venue. While the Dave and Buster building design is not likely consistent with other retail tenants, the design is considered appropriate for an established entertainment area, and is consistent with design trends in older malls throughout the nation trying to revitalize shopping malls. In fact, Lynnhaven Mall was one of the first malls to attempt this when, several years ago, the theater complex and restaurant plaza was added to the west side of the mall. Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION CONDITIONS 1.
