Newcomb III, CFM, Acting Planning Director7 9r) Subject: Breeden Inv stment Properties, Inc., for a Downtown Development Certificate with waiver 533 Front Street Reviewed: Ward/Superward: 2/6 Wy Deputy City Manager Approved: Item Number: C-7 Dougla L. Smith, City Manager I. Staff Recommendation: Approval. II. Architectural Review Board Recommendation: By a vote of 6 to 0, the Architectural Review Board recommends Approval. Ill. Planning Commission Recommendation: By a vote of 5 to 0, the Planning Commission recommends Approval. IV. Request: Through the required Downtown Development Certificate, the applicant is requesting waiver from the required off-street parking requirement, and the 20-foot side yard setback. V. Applicant: Breeden Investment Properties, Inc. VI. Description: • The site is located in the Fort Norfolk/Atlantic City area of Downtown on the south side of front street just east of 2nd street. • The applicant proposes redevelop 3.2 acres of waterfront industrial land to accommodate a 258-unit, 5-story multi-family development with a pedestrian promenade along the Elizabeth River. • In order to accommodate the development as proposed, the applicant must receive waivers from the building placement (setbacks) and off-street parking requirements. o For development within the D-FN district, two (2) off-street parking spaces are required for each dwelling unit. • The development will provide 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit, which is permitted in other parts of the Downtown Character District due to the proximity 810 UNION STREET, SUITE 1101 I NORFOLK VIRGINIA 23510 ■ 757-664-4242 www.norfolk.gov of various mass transit options, included the nearby EVMC/Fort Norfolk and Freemason LRT stations. o The D-FN district requires a 20-foot side yard setback to be provided for any building between 3-5 stories tall and located on the south side of Front Street. ■ The purpose of this requirement is to preserve ample opportunities for the public to have frequent and convenient access to the required public pedestrian promenade along the river, and to preserve view corridors to the water where possible. ■ Given the unusual site constraints, strict adherence to this provision would dramatically squeeze the development potential of this particular site while providing limited additional benefit. ■ The site provides a pedestrian corridor around the building, including a primary access point between the eastern side and the adjacent historic Security Storage & Safe Deposit Company Warehouse located to the south.

Summary of Request • The site is located on the south side of front street just east of 2nd street. • Through the required Downtown Development Certificate, the applicant is requesting waiver from the required off-street parking requirement, and the 20-foot side yard setback. B. Plan Analysis The proposed use is consistent with plallorfolk2030, which designates this site as Downtown. C. Zoning Analysis i. General • The applicant proposes redevelop 3.2 acres of waterfront industrial land to accommodate a 258-unit, 5-story multi-family development with a pedestrian promenade along the Elizabeth River. • In Downtown district, any new development or substantial improvements to existing structures requires a Development Certificate. • In the Downtown districts, the following development standards may be modified with a Development Certificate: o Building placement requirements o Off-street parking and loading requirements o Requirements for "active" use of ground floor areas (only required for development along the north side of Front Street). • In order to accommodate the development as proposed, the applicant must receive waivers from the building placement (setbacks) and off-street parking requirements. o For development within the D-FN district, two (2) off-street parking spaces are required for each dwelling unit. ■ The development will provide 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit, which is permitted in other parts of the Downtown Character District due to the proximity of various mass transit options, included the nearby EVMC/Fort Norfolk and Freemason LRT stations. o The D-FN district requires a 20-foot side yard setback to be provided for any building between 3-5 stories tall and located on the south side of Front Street. ■ The purpose of this requirement is to preserve ample opportunities for the public to have frequent and convenient access to the required public pedestrian promenade along the river, and to preserve view corridors to the water where possible. ■ Given the unusual site constraints, strict adherence to this provision would dramatically squeeze the development potential of this particular site while providing limited additional benefit. ■ The site provides a pedestrian corridor around the building, including a primary access point between the eastern side and the adjacent historic Security Storage & Safe Deposit Company Warehouse located to the south. ■ By focusing this primary access to the eastern edge of the site, this permits the development to meet the full requirement of the side yard setback on this side, which incorporates the historic warehouse facade into the view corridor, along with the eastern line of the promenade within the wharf. ii. Architectural Review Board Review • As part of the Development Certificate process, a review of the development waivers and a recommendation by the Architectural Review Board (ARB) is required. o By a vote of 6-0, the ARB recommended that the Downtown Development Certificate request with the waivers as proposed be approved. iii. Flood Zone • The site is located within the AE 8 & 9 (High-Risk), Coastal A (Coastal Floodplain; also known as the Limits of Moderate Wave Action — LiMWA), and VE 11 (Coastal High Hazard) flood zones. o The VE and Coastal A zones are areas located within the LiMWA, or where wave action may be anticipated (waves as minimum of 1.5 feet high) during significant storm events. • Portions of the buildings are located within the Coastal A Zone, and will be subject to moderate wave action. o The building closest to the water will be required to be constructed on concrete piers with the ground floor level left open, to permit wave action to occur during significant storm events without damage to the structure. D. Transportation Impacts • Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) figures estimate that the proposed residential development will generate 1,716 vehicle trips per day. • No roads in the vicinity of the proposed development are identified as severely congested corridors in the current update to regional Hampton Roads Congestion Management analysis. • The site is near transit services with Hampton Roads Transit bus routes 2 and 23, as well as light rail at Fort Norfolk/EVMC. • No streets near to the site are identified priority corridors in The City of Norfolk Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategic Plan but the site is located in close proximity to the Elizabeth River Trail. E. Historic Resource Impacts • The site is not located within a federal, state, or local historic district. • Neither the Ghent nor Freemason historic districts are close enough to be impacted by this low rise development (5 stories), as they are both separated from this development site by bodies of navigable water. • The site is directly adjacent to the Security Storage & Safe Deposit Company Warehouse (VDHR No. 122-0901), a 1916 historic waterfront warehouse building, listed as a contributing landmark structure by the National Parks Service on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources on the Virginia Landmarks Register (NRHP/VLR, 2014). o Although the adjacent structure is very minimalistic in both form and ornamentation, the building expresses a few simple geometric interplays derived from Cubism, which later became the framework for the well-known Art Deco architectural style. ■ An illustration of the Cubist influence includes the interplay of the round water tower atop the square mechanical room, in addition to a few ornamental details such as the stylized diamond embellishments surrounding the pedimented entryway. o This adjacent structure is the only example of a pre-World War II building built in the Cubist style (Cubist elements were later expressed post-World War II in Brutalist buildings throughout the State). • The proposed building on the site does not detract or negatively contrast the historic prominence of the historic Cubist warehouse to the east because it is proposed to be constructed with a similar massing, and with similar angles and lines as the warehouse building. o The proposed building will be constructed with a slight recess along Front Street, preserving the predominance of the historic warehouse. F. Public Schools Impacts • School attendance zones include Taylor Elementary School (71% utilization), Blair Middle School (83% utilization) and Maury High School (93% utilization).

    NORFOLK ® OPPORTUNITY ZONE PROSPECTUS N O R F O L K V I R G I N I A - I N V E S T M E N T P R O S P E C T U S 1 WELCOME For more than 300 years, Norfolk has served as the cultural and economic heart of Hampton Roads, mixing ideas, connecting people, creating new experiences and new businesses, and powering the growth of a region that is home to 1.75 million people and a real GDP approaching $84 billion. One of America’s oldest global trade destinations, Norfolk has been transformed into a global center for international security and coastal resilience. We are home to Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval base, and NATO’s only headquarters in North America. We also serve as a national leader in health care, transportation, higher education, and visual and performing arts. Norfolk is investing in transformative projects that will enhance our assets, foster inclusive economic growth, and develop talented and motivated residents. In 2018, we launched the transformation of the St. Paul’s Area, which will reshape three public housing communities that encompass more than 200 acres near our thriving downtown. Investments in the people, physical infrastructure, and anchor institutions that are native to this area are helping us to attract new businesses and entrepreneurs that will drive regional productivity and growth. The neighborhoods of the St. Paul’s Area are just one example of the 16 qualified opportunity zones, the most of any city or county in the Commonwealth of Virginia, that we hope you will consider for investment.

  • Theaters and Performing Arts Companies in Hampton Roads
    Theaters & Performing Arts Companies THE PLAY’S THE THING: THEATERS AND PERFORMING ARTS COMPANIES IN HAMPTON ROADS ll of Hampton Roads is but a stage and the theater companies merely players that strut across it. Yet, what a stage it is! The area’s companies provide a rich menu of thought-provoking and entertaining productions, all of which enhance Athe region with vital cultural and economic benefits. The vibrant community of thespians in Hampton Roads premiered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries at venues like The Academy of Music, and the American, the Colonial and the Wells theaters, where vaudeville mixed with drama and the emerging moving picture amusements. In fact, in the early days of the 20th century, Norfolk was viewed as the cultural “gateway to the south.” A brief decline into adult entertainment occurred in several of these theaters during the middle of the 20th century, followed by a slow and deliberate emergence into a healthy and engaging theatrical life. Currently, the theatrical venues of Hampton Roads boast several major professional companies, a changing plate of smaller com- munity performing companies, and a host of universities and colleges stretching the diversity of dramatic selections. Whether sup- ported by magnanimous corporate sponsorship, dedicated avocational passions or the hobby of a few rich patrons of the arts, local theater contributes significantly to the revitalization of Hampton Roads communities. THE WELLS THEATRE Since opening in 1913, the historic landmark New Wells Theatre welcomed guests into an ornate and exquisite venue of beaux-arts classicism, originally seating 1,650 with a top balcony “For Negro Audiences Only.” It once featured “Ben Hur,” with chariots on treadmills, and hosted the likes of Fred and Adele Astaire, Will Rogers and John Philip Sousa.

Community Description 3 III. Health Status Indicator Analysis 21 IV. Community Insight 79 V. Appendix 85 1 I. INTRODUCTION The Hospital for Extended Recovery has conducted a community health needs assessment of the area that we serve. The assessment provides us with a picture of the health status of the residents in our communities and provides us with information about health and health-related problems that impact health status. Our assessment includes a review of population characteristics such as age, educational level, and racial and ethnic composition because social factors are important determinants of health. The assessment also looks at risk factors like obesity and smoking and at health indicators such as infant mortality and preventable hospitalizations. Community input is important so the assessment also includes survey results from key stakeholders including public health, social services, service providers, and those who represent underserved populations. The report also includes findings from interviews with key community members on health issues and barriers to achieving good health. The needs assessment identifies numerous health issues that our communities face. Considering factors such as size and scope of the health problem, the severity and intensity of the problem, the feasibility and effectiveness of possible interventions, health disparities associated with the need, the importance the community places on addressing the need, and consistency with our mission “to improve health every day”, we have identified a number of priority health problems in our area to address in our implementation strategy: diabetes, heart disease/high blood pressure/stroke, Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer, and mental health conditions (other than depression).
