Background: Beach FC (Virginia Beach Travel Soccer) is a private non-profit soccer club that provides professional instruction, training and competitive league play for youth soccer players. The applicant has contracted to purchase the subject property to construct an indoor soccer facility. The facility will be used primarily for league play and “futsal” training – a modified format of soccer played with five players per side, on a smaller field. Details of Proposal: The proposed 24,000 square foot building will consist of two indoor soccer fields, office space, locker/changing rooms, an executive board room, and a small mezzanine observation area. The facility will be used primarily on weekends, afternoons and evenings in poor weather months, although some training sessions and clinics may be scheduled during the summer.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL


The elevations for the proposed building depict an approximately 27-foot tall structure. The office portion of the building, facing Buckner Boulevard, will be constructed of brick masonry. The exterior of the larger portion of the building will be split face masonry, gray metal panel siding, metal trim, aluminum louver vents, and gray metal standing seam roofing. Ingress/egress to the site will be accomplished via direct access from Buckner Boulevard and from a cross-access easement on the eastern side of the property, connecting to the adjacent commercial property. Vehicular flow onsite is depicted in a logical layout to minimize traffic congestion. The submitted concept plan depicts 113 parking spaces. There is a multi-use path that runs along Buckner Boulevard. Bicycle parking is provided near the main entrance. The submitted site layout depicts stormwater management facilities in multiple locations throughout the property. Additionally, a bio-retention area is depicted in the center of the western parking lot. As required by section 903 (b) of the zoning ordinance, a 15-foot landscape buffer is depicted along the western property line, adjacent to residential development. The submitted elevation depicts a building mounted sign on the south façade of the building, facing Buckner Boulevard. A freestanding monument sign is proposed in a grassy area to the east of the main entrance at Buckner Boulevard. No elevation of the monument sign was provided.

EXISTING LAND USE: Undeveloped wooded lot SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:

North: Self-storage facility / B-2 Community Business District

South: Buckner Boulevard

Lynnhaven Golf Park / R-5D Residential District East: Grocery store / B-2 Community Business District

West: Single-family dwellings / R-5D Residential District

NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES:

A majority of the site is located in the 500-year floodplain with a small portion located in the AE flood zone. The site is currently heavily wooded. Besides lumber from the trees, there do not appear to be any natural or cultural feature on the site.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area. The general planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value, aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods, and reinforcing the suburban characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential areas.

WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is an existing 10-inch city water main along Buckner Boulevard. There is an existing eight-inch plugged city water service main extended to this parcel with CIP 2-073 (Roadway Plans for Buckner Boulevard).

SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. Sewer and pump station analysis for Pump Station #551 is required to determine if future flows can be accommodated. 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.

This Conditional Use Permit request for an Indoor Recreation Facility is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s policies and land use goals for the Suburban Area regarding compatibility of non-residential uses with residential uses and the surrounding area. In Staff’s view, the proposed development will provide a needed amenity to the City and be a beneficial addition to the surrounding community.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION


The proposed elevations depict building materials that compliment other recent commercial developments in the area. The proposed concept plan depicts a logical site layout and sufficient landscaping throughout including an extensive amount of foundation landscaping. A 15-foot minimum buffer containing Category IV landscape screening is required for B-2 zoning lots that adjoin a residential district as the western property line does. The submitted site layout depicts the required buffer; however, an existing drainage easement is also located along a portion of the western property line. No landscape buffer plant material or stormwater BMP facilities may be placed within the drainage easement. The proposed stormwater management facility depicted in the southwestern corner of the property is within an existing drainage easement. Staff notes that this facility may need to be relocated out of the drainage easement. Should that be the case, the concept plan has allotted additional space for a potential BMP at the northeast corner of the property. Additionally, the existing plan depicts landscape buffer plant material within the drainage easement. Likewise, the required Category IV landscape buffer may need to be relocated out of the drainage easement. Both of these potential issues must be addressed prior to the final site plan review process. Based on Staff’s evaluation of the request as provided above, the project is recommended for approval with the conditions below.

1. Except as modified by any of the conditions below, the site shall be developed substantially in

conformance as shown on submitted site plan titled “BEACH FC – INDOOR YOUTH SOCCER TRAINING FACILITY, CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN,” as prepared by Timmons Group and dated December 01, 2015.

2. The exterior of the proposed building depicted on the Concept Plan shall substantially adhere in appearance and materials to the exhibit entitled “PRELIMINARY ELEVATIONS FOR BEACH FC,” prepared by Morrisette Architecture and dated November 11, 2015.

3. A photometric plan shall be submitted at the time of final site plan review ensuring that any

lighting for the parking area shall be shielded and directed downward to limit the amount of overspill outside the property boundary.

4. A landscape plan shall be submitted at the time of final site plan review reflective of the plant material depicted on submitted site plan titled “BEACH FC – INDOOR YOUTH SOCCER TRAINING FACILITY, CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN,” as prepared by Timmons Group and dated December 01, 2015. In addition, the landscape plan shall include the required Category IV screening along the western property line, required street frontage landscaping along the Buckner Boulevard right of way and the required landscaping around the dumpster facility as specified in the Landscape, Screening, and Buffering Specifications and Standards for the City of Virginia Beach.

CONDITIONS


5. Prior to final site approval, the landscape plan shall be submitted and reviewed by Public Works Engineering – Water Resources for compliance with any requirements pertaining to the existing drainage easement. Final site plan approval shall not be issued until said landscape plan is approved by Public Works Engineering – Water Resources.

6. There shall be no BMP or any other stormwater management facilities located within the limits of any drainage easement onsite.

7. All signage shall adhere to the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance. A separate permit

shall be obtained from the Department of Planning, Zoning office for all signage.

8. Any freestanding sign shall be monument style with a brick base that matches the building, and shall be no taller than eight feet as measured from the ground to the top of the sign.

9. The site layout shall conform to all applicable requirements of section 203 of the City Zoning

Ordinance for off-street parking.

NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning / Development Services Center and Department of Planning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid.

The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.
