The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as located in the Lynnhaven Strategic Growth Area (SGA). The long-term vision for the Lynnhaven SGA calls for series of mixed-use and flexible developments. Design principles include enabling flexible development sites and building types to respond to ever-changing market needs and development programs, uses that are compatible with AICUZ restrictions and building on the existing good balance between homes, jobs, and services.

Water Both sites currently connect to City water. There are existing 16-inch, 20-inch and 36-inch City water mains along Virginia Beach Boulevard. There are existing eight-inch and 20-inch City water mains along North Lynnhaven Road. Sewer Both sites currently connect to City sewer. There is an existing 24-inch HRSD sanitary sewer force main along Virginia Beach Boulevard. There is an existing 12-inch City gravity sanitary sewer main along North Lynnhaven Road. There is an existing 10-inch City sewer force main along North Lynnhaven Road.

This proposal to redevelop the subject site with an Automobile Repair Garage is, in Staff’s opinion, acceptable. The building is designed with finishes that complement the surrounding area. This coupled with elements depicted on the attractive Landscape Plan reflect an investment in our community. While the Lynnhaven Strategic Growth Area Master Plan calls for long-term redevelopment of the site with mixed-use non-residential uses, the proposed use is compatible with the existing auto-oriented and service uses along this stretch of Virginia Beach Boulevard. As such, the proposed use is acceptable until the market creates a transition of this area to the long-term vision established in the Lynnhaven Strategic Growth Area Plan. Public Utilities Staff has noted that water and sanitary sewer service must be verified and improved if necessary so that the proposed development will have adequate water pressure, fire protection and sanitary sewer service. A more detailed review of the utilities and other details of the project will be done during final site plan review. Based on the considerations above, Staff finds the application to be an acceptable use and recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below.
