Virginia Beach Professional Baseball, L.L.C. City Of 6 June 11, 2014 Public Hearing APPLICANT: VIRGINIA BEACH PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL, L.L.C. PROPERTY OWNER: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH STAFF PLANNER: Stephen J. White REQUEST: (a) Conditional Change of Zoning (AG-1 and Conditional B-2 to Conditional B-2) (b) Conditional Use Permit (Outdoor Recreation Facility [Baseball Stadium]) (c) Conditional Use Permit (Outdoor Recreation Facility [Baseball Field Complex]) ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION (a) & (b): ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION (c): East side of Landstown Road, immediately south East side of Landstown Road, approximately 2,400 of Landstown Centre Way (GPINs 1484871819 feet south of its intersection with Landstown Centre and 1484879998) Way (GPINs 1484871819 and 1484879998) ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: AICUZ: PRINCESS ANNE Items (a) & (b) = 16 acres 70 to 75 dB DNL Item (c) = 108.7 acres Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Background The subject sites are located within the area of the city designated by the Comprehensive Plan as Princess Anne Commons, part of the Interfacility Traffic Area and Special Economic Growth Area 4. Princess Anne Commons consists of several different but highly integrated ‘village / campus’ areas: academic, medical, athletic and recreation, economic development, and municipal government functions. The applicant is proposing to enhance the opportunities offered within the ‘athletic village’ of Princess Anne Commons with the development of a 5,000-seat baseball stadium, an integrated office and retail building, and a 13-field baseball/softball tournament complex. The applicant’s development proposal is the result of a Request for Interest and Qualifications (RFI-Q) for the development of a Youth Baseball Tournament Complex and Additional Athletic Facilities, issued by the City of Virginia Beach in September 2013. The applicant’s proposal in response to the RFI-Q was VIRGINIA BEACH PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL, L.L.C. Agenda Item 6 Page 1 selected. To develop the site as proposed, however, a Change of Zoning (Conditional B-2 and AG-1 to Conditional B-2) and Conditional Use Permit (Outdoor Recreation) are necessary for the stadium and commercial complex, and a Conditional Use Permit (Outdoor Recreation) is necessary for the Tournament Complex. The applicant has submitted the requisite applications for each of these. Details In general, the proposed development will be located in two different areas of Princess Anne Commons between the east side of Landstown Road and the Virginia Beach National Golf Course. The baseball stadium and office building will be situated directly west of the Sportsplex stadium adjacent to Landstown Road. The tournament complex will be situated between the southern edge of the right-of-way for the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt (SEP&G) and the southern boundary of the City-owned area of Princess Anne Commons. The following provides specific information pertaining to each part of the proposed development: Stadium and Commercial Space 5,000 seat stadium, including suites as well as 2,000 berm seats: o A concourse will run around the stadium field, providing access throughout the stadium, including the berm seats. o The primary tenant of the stadium will be the Virginia Beach Neptunes, a professional Atlantic League team. The Neptunes will play approximately 70 home games at the stadium. o A secondary tenant will be a team in the Coastal Plain League, which is a summer wooden bat league. VIRGINIA BEACH PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL, L.L.C. Agenda Item 6 Page 2 Connected to the stadium will be a 60,000 square foot commercial office building that will provide space for VBPB’s offices, the potential of a Sentara sports therapy, wellness training, and conditioning program. Proffer 3 is specific to this building, and limits the uses to the type described above, and also notes that “additional permitted uses shall be offices, [restaurants] without drive-through, outdoor cafes, and outdoor plazas. No drive-through uses shall be permitted.” Tournament Complex The Tournament Complex will consist of 13 lighted diamond fields (10 with artificial turf) and a parking lot of approximately 1,200 spaces. Facts relevant to the complex are as follows: The complex will host national, regional, and local baseball and softball tournaments for all age levels and types of league, including community league games and tournaments. The applicant will be collaborating with City of Virginia Beach’s Convention and Visitors Bureau’s Sports Marketing Office and the Department of Parks and Recreation to book tournaments and develop Virginia Beach ‘hotel and restaurant packages’ for participants. The fields will be 300 feet to 350 feet to the outfield fence, and will be fully convertible such that they can be used to host baseball and softball of every level and type. There is an area of delineated non-tidal wetlands on the subject site, which will remain in its current state (designated as ‘Tree Save Area’ on the site plan). Adjacent to this area, the applicant will create a park that will include walking trails and lawn area for picnics and relaxation. The applicant’s intent is that the trail system being installed throughout the tournament complex will eventually be fully connected to the Princess Anne Commons trail system. As there will be children of the players and spectators within the tournament complex, the applicant will construct playgrounds, including a water playground, within the complex. Parking for the stadium and tournament complex will be located in existing parking lots and new parking lots to be constructed with this development. In general, parking in the Athletic Village of Princess Anne Commons has been, and will continue to be, provided through a series of parking lots throughout the area. Each specific component of the Athletic Village (Princess Anne Athletic Complex, Sportsplex, and Fieldhouse) has parking meeting its needs, but also shares parking with the other components in case of overflow during large events. A 1,195-space parking lot will be constructed with the tournament complex. The parking lot will be located within the existing right-of-way for the SEP&G. Should the right-of-way be needed for the SEP&G at some point in the future, the parking will be relocated to another located within Princess Anne Commons. The Sportsplex parking lot is currently the most used parking lot in the Athletic Complex, and parking within it is managed through a master schedule coordinated by the City. A parking analysis conducted by the Department of Parks and Recreation, Clark/Nexsen, and the Department of Planning indicated that with the new and existing parking lots, as well as the system of shared managed parking, there will be sufficient parking. The parking lots, the tournament complex, and the baseball stadium will be connected by an extensive walkway system. LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXISTING LAND USE: The area proposed for the stadium and commercial building is currently partially developed with various support uses for the Sportsplex and the Field Hockey Center. The area proposed for the tournament complex is currently undeveloped, consisting of vegetated field and treed areas. VIRGINIA BEACH PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL, L.L.C. Agenda Item 6 Page 3 SURROUNDING LAND North: Sportsplex and parking lot / AG-1 Agricultural District USE AND ZONING: South: Field Hockey Complex (Stadium) and Cultivated fields (Tournament Complex) / AG-1 Agricultural District East: Virginia Beach Fieldhouse and Virginia Beach National Golf Course / AG-1 Agricultural District West: Landstown Road Princess Anne Athletic Complex / AG-1 Agricultural District The subject site and the surrounding area are located within the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) Overlay District. The AICUZ is 70 to 75 dB DNL. The proposed uses are compatible with this AICUZ. NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is a former plant nursery, and as a result, there are areas of CULTURAL FEATURES: tree groves, which will be saved and integrated into this project. There is a small area of non-tidal wetlands on the site, which will remain ‘as is’ and be buffered by the creation of a park / open space around it. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies this parcel as being within the Princess Anne Special Economic Growth Area (SEGA 4). The controlling master plan for Princess Anne SEGA 4 is the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) and Vicinity Master Plan. The general vision for this area is to create campuses for work, education, research, recreation, and worship. When fully developed, this area will have evolved into a continuous open space experience tied together by trails and waterways, and landscaped as a continuous ‘garden’ within which activities are accommodated (p. 21, ITA & Vicinity Master Plan). More specifically, this site is within North Princess Anne Commons’ Athletic Village. North Princess Anne Commons is primarily located southwest of the intersection of Rosemont Road and Dam Neck Road, east of the of the single-family residential development of Salem Lakes, north of Landstown Road, and encompassing the Virginia Beach National Golf Course. As a prominent ‘Placemaker’ in the City, this area not only serves as a principal gateway to the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and court complex, it has become a premier destination (including Virginia Beach Amphitheatre, Sportsplex and National Field Hockey Training Center) and offers the public a wide range of special events and services. The proposed development will continue to offer our citizens and visitors experiences that

  • Hampton Roads 2019
    The State of the Region HAMPTON ROADS 2019 DRAGAS CENTER FOR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND POLICY | STROME COLLEGE OF BUSINESS | OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY Virginia Beach- Norfolk-Newport News Metropolitan Statistical Area October 2019 Dear Reader: his is Old Dominion University’s 20th annual State of the Region Report. While it represents the work of many people connected in various ways to the university, the report does not constitute an official viewpoint of Old Dominion, its president, John R. Broderick, the Board of Visitors, the Strome College of Business or the generous donors who support the activities of the Dragas Center for Economic Analysis and Policy. T While the enthusiasm we have for our work remains high, it has been dampened by the recent passing of George Dragas, the individual most responsible for perceiving the region’s need for the report and procuring the financial support to sustain it. George was a very successful businessman, who simultaneously exhibited marvelous foresight and a keen sense of civic duty. Without George and his family, there would be no State of the Region Report and no Dragas Center for Economic Analysis and Policy. We and the Hampton Roads community are indebted to him. The 2019 State of the Region Report is divided into six parts: Full Speed Ahead: The Regional Economy Continues to Improve The State of Soccer in Hampton Roads For the first time in a decade, the Hampton Roads economy is poised to grow The “beautiful game” is thriving in Hampton Roads.

  • Part 4: the State of Soccer in Hampton Roads
    The State Of Soccer In Hampton Roads THE STATE OF SOCCER IN HAMPTON ROADS Soccer isn’t the same as Bach or Buddhism. But it is often more deeply felt than religion, and just as much a part of the community’s fabric, a repository of traditions. – Franklin Foer, “How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization” t has been called “The Beautiful Game” (a nickname popularized by Pelé, the legendary Brazilian footballer) and “The World’s Game.” With apologies to soccer purists, the second name is probably more accurate. The scope and size of the sport of soccer – football to most of the world – are undeniably large. Soccer is played by the young and old, men and women, believers of different (or no) faiths, the poor and rich, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. It is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, ranking fourth among all sports in terms of popularity in a recent Gallup survey.1 While American football dominated the list Iof favorite sports in the U.S., with 37 percent of respondents saying it was their favorite sport to watch, soccer, at 7 percent, was only 2 percentage points behind baseball (9 percent) and 4 percentage points behind basketball (11 percent) in terms of popularity. To say that soccer has an avid global fan base would be an understatement.1 record four championships, including the 2-0 victory over the Netherlands The 2018 World Cup in Russia drew an estimated 3.6 billion viewers, nearly in the finals earlier this year.

  • Old Dominion Elk
    Old Dominion Elk Fall Convention, Virginia Beach, VA, 2013 Sponsor’s Message We live in an instantaneous world of megabytes, terabytes, gigahertz and nanoseconds. We insist that our access to knowledge be immediate. More and more people are putting their newspapers aside in favor of more current news available with a few mouse clicks. E-mail, text messages and social media have crippled the postal service. Elkdom, like all other fraternal groups as well as civic groups and churches, is struggling to keep pace with these advancements in technology. You may or may not agree with the shortened Elks Rituals now available to us, but the movement in that direction now seems inevitable. Concurrently, a digital version of The Elks Magazine is now available online. Many of your Lodge newsletters are also available online. Roger Monger, the Virginia Elks Association Webmaster, keeps us current with Elks news items and activities around the State. His website is included in the Favorites list of a growing number of us. But our Order's strength exists in something more than keeping up with technology. Our members enjoy the good times inherent in gathering with family and friends for all types of social events in our Club quarters. It is definitely not Joe's Bar down the street. Moreover, you get a warm feeling in your gut when you do things like serving Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to folks in your community who are hungry. That certainly trumps watching a spinning beach ball on your computer screen conveying a frustrating "Please wait" message. Even in this day of growing emphasis on entitlements, the reality persists that the witchery of wealth is not in having, but in sharing.

The attached report presents the results of our research, analysis, findings, and conclusions and recommendations, and is intended to assist Venture Realty Group and the VBEDA in evaluating the viability of the facility. The analyses presented in this report are based on estimates, assumptions, and other information developed from industry research, data provided by VRG and others, interviews with local and industry stakeholders, and analysis of other facilities and markets. The sources of information and the basis of assumptions, estimates, and forecasts are stated in this report. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Therefore, actual results achieved will vary from those described and the variations may be material. The findings presented are based on analysis of present and near-term conditions in the Virginia Beach area, as well as existing interest levels by potential users for a new facility. Any significant changes in the characteristics of the local community, such as change in population, corporate inventory, and/or competitive facilities, could materially impact conclusions and recommendations developed in this study.
