[0:01] Good afternoon.
[0:02] » Good afternoon.
[0:05] » I am Shondaanda Taylor and this is our
[0:10] planning commission work session agenda
[0:12] for Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026
[0:16] starting at 12:35
[0:18] in the city council conference room,
[0:20] sixth floor of city hall.
[0:23] » Dr. Russell.
[0:24] » All right, doc. And I'm going to for the
[0:26] rest I'm going to defer to Dr. Russell.
[0:28] » Good afternoon. Uh and thank you. We
[0:30] have one agenda item this afternoon. Um
[0:33] and it is a use permit application. Mr.
[0:36] Bill Landfair is going to provide the uh
[0:40] staff report for that uh item. And then
[0:43] we're going to follow that with an uh
[0:47] brief review of our agenda items for our
[0:49] board of zoning appeals meeting um
[0:54] uh for March 25th. And then we're going
[0:56] to provide a project update for our
[0:58] comprehensive planning projects for the
[1:00] department. Mr. Landfair, principal
[1:02] planner.
[1:02] » Thank you, Dr. Russell. Good afternoon,
[1:04] planning commissioners.
[1:06] » Good afternoon.
[1:07] » Bill Lanfair, principal planner with the
[1:09] city of Portsouth planning department.
[1:12] The application before you today is a
[1:15] request for a use permit for the
[1:17] development of three townhouse units on
[1:19] approximately. 61 acres located at 531
[1:24] Edward Street in the multifamily urban
[1:26] residential zoning district.
[1:29] The subject property is located adjacent
[1:32] to the Southside Gardens and Portide
[1:34] Manor multifamily neighborhoods and is
[1:37] also near the Port Center commercial
[1:39] park.
[1:41] The property is vacant, measuring
[1:43] approximately 75 ft in length and 121 ft
[1:47] in depth for a total of 9,075
[1:50] square ft or.21 acres. It's located
[1:54] within the AE8 special flood hazard area
[1:58] and the resource management area of the
[2:00] Chesapeake Bay preservation area.
[2:03] The surrounding neighborhood is
[2:05] characterized by a mix of residential,
[2:08] commercial, industrial, and
[2:09] institutional land uses all within two
[2:12] blocks of the subject property.
[2:16] To the north and west, there are
[2:17] multifamily developments containing town
[2:20] houses, condominiums, and apartments
[2:22] zoned multifamily urban residential.
[2:26] To the east and south are detached
[2:28] single family residences also zone
[2:30] multifamily urban residential.
[2:34] Additionally, two family and three to
[2:37] four family dwellings can be found
[2:39] within about one block of the subject
[2:41] property.
[2:44] The applicant is proposing to subdivide
[2:46] the property into three townhouse lots.
[2:49] Two will be end units 3,449
[2:53] square ft in size and one will be an
[2:56] interior lot 2,178
[2:59] square ft in size. Each townhouse will
[3:02] measure 18 ft in width and 30 ft in
[3:05] depth providing 1556 square ft of living
[3:09] area. Each dwelling will have a driveway
[3:11] accommodating two off- streetet vehicle
[3:13] parking spaces which satisfies the
[3:16] requirement for the use.
[3:19] Each unit will also include a covered
[3:21] front porch and a seconds story rear
[3:23] balcony. The submitted elevations and
[3:26] conceptual plans are incorporated into
[3:29] the conditions of approval for the use
[3:31] permit to ensure substantial conformity
[3:34] with the recommended design standards.
[3:37] Staff is recommending approval of the
[3:39] applicant's request with the recommended
[3:41] conditions. The proposed residential use
[3:44] will be consistent with the overall
[3:46] intent and policies of the city's build
[3:48] one portsmith comprehensive plan and the
[3:52] citywide strategic housing plan
[3:54] particularly relating to improved
[3:56] housing quality and the provision of
[3:59] mixed income housing. The development
[4:01] will be appropriate at this location. It
[4:04] provides compatible infill that improves
[4:07] the appearance of the property and has
[4:09] an architectural design that will
[4:11] complement the surrounding area. The
[4:13] planning department has not received any
[4:15] public comments. This concludes my
[4:18] presentation and I'll now stand by for
[4:20] any questions.
[4:27] » Commissioner is there any questions? No.
[4:31] Okay. Thank you.
[4:36] All right.
[4:39] » All right.
[4:40] » The next agenda items um will be
[4:43] presented by Mr. Travon Boon, our zone
[4:46] administrator, and he's going to review
[4:48] the uh board of zoning appeals agenda
[4:50] items that will be considered on March
[4:52] 25th.
[4:54] » Um good afternoon, commissioners. I say
[4:56] that I am Son, zoning administrator for
[4:58] the city of Portsouth. Um there are five
[5:00] cases to be heard before the board of
[5:02] voting appeals on March the 25th um at
[5:04] our BCA meeting. Um those items include
[5:07] 1404 Center Avenue. Um they are
[5:10] requesting a special exception to
[5:12] authorize the reduction of the minimum
[5:14] minimum required side yard setback from
[5:16] 7 ft to 3 ft and that's in order to
[5:19] construct a detached single family
[5:20] dwelling on a narrow lot. Um the next
[5:24] item that we have is 316 High Street and
[5:28] also 330 County Street. Um both are
[5:31] requesting a special exception to
[5:33] authorize a residential ground floor
[5:36] conversion in accordance with section
[5:38] 40.2-535
[5:41] subsection B subsection 2.
[5:44] The next item that we have is 822
[5:46] Garfield Street. They are requesting a
[5:49] variance in or in accord in in
[5:51] accordance excuse me with zoning
[5:52] ordinance section 40.2534
[5:55] subsection B subsection 6 to allow for a
[5:58] deviation from the provisions of the
[6:01] city code chapter 14.1 and the flood
[6:04] protection area. And the last item that
[6:06] we have is 1204 airline boulevard and
[6:09] they're also requesting a variance to
[6:11] reduce the side yard setbacks
[6:13] requirements from 20 ft to 14 ft. and
[6:16] they are all the items that we have by
[6:18] our March the 25th meeting for the board
[6:20] of zoning appeals.
[6:22] » Commissioners, the um code of Virginia
[6:25] requires that um we share with the
[6:28] planning commission those agenda items
[6:29] for our board of zoning appeals meeting
[6:31] in the event that you have comments that
[6:34] you would like for us to uh share with
[6:36] board members or appear uh before the
[6:39] board during their deliberations.
[6:43] Okay, Madam Chair, that concludes the
[6:46] formal agenda items for the meeting. I
[6:49] do have an update on our planning
[6:51] projects if I may share that with
[6:53] commissioners. Okay,
[6:55] » Miss Jackson. Mrs. Jackson.
[7:03] Thank you.
[7:21] Thank you.
[7:23] » Thank you.
[7:26] Thank you.
[7:29] I was hoping you save one for me. So
[7:32] anyway,
[7:33] » Thank you.
[7:38] Members of the commission, I um what you
[7:41] uh traditionally see from um our agenda
[7:45] items monthtomonth, you'll see resoning
[7:47] applications, you'll see use permit
[7:49] applications. Occasionally um over the
[7:52] the 24 months that I have been on board,
[7:55] you've seen a couple of zoning ordinance
[7:57] text amendments, but I thought as we
[7:59] were deliberating amongst our team
[8:01] members uh about project assignments and
[8:04] priorities of projects that it would be
[8:06] beneficial to share with the
[8:07] commissioners the comprehensive planning
[8:09] projects or the long-term planning
[8:11] projects that we're working on and then
[8:13] to give you some status information
[8:15] about those projects. I also think that
[8:17] it's um
[8:21] prudent to share this information with
[8:23] you because we often get requests. I
[8:25] received a request this morning from a
[8:26] citizen that made an appointment to
[8:28] speak to me about things that they think
[8:30] we ought to be involved in and put on
[8:32] our list of priorities. Um and so uh the
[8:36] first item is the historic uh district
[8:39] design guidelines review. Mr. Bill
[8:42] Landfair uh coordinates and supports
[8:44] both our uh uh historic preservation
[8:47] commiss commission and our uh DDC our
[8:51] our downtown design um commission. And
[8:55] what we have found um is that the design
[9:00] guidelines for both districts really
[9:03] don't take advantage of some of the new
[9:06] opportunities for materials um that are
[9:10] more costly. uh and more effective um in
[9:14] terms of um uh energy efficiency and
[9:17] other efficiencies. Um and because
[9:20] they're not in the guidelines, they are
[9:22] not ready opportunities for property
[9:24] owners to use. So take for example slate
[9:27] roofing. They're composite materials
[9:30] that emulate that so that from the
[9:33] untrained eye, they're
[9:35] indistinguishable, especially if you're
[9:37] looking at it from the ground level. and
[9:39] our design guidelines don't um currently
[9:42] permit that. Additionally, for window
[9:44] treatments, composite window treatments
[9:47] that resemble wood material um that
[9:50] would be appropriate. Our design
[9:52] guidelines in many instances don't
[9:53] permit. And so um for at least a year uh
[9:58] I have u been party to discussions about
[10:01] when are we going to update the historic
[10:04] uh preservation district uh design
[10:06] guidelines and we are undertaking that
[10:09] effort as we speak and so we want you to
[10:11] be aware of that. In addition to um the
[10:15] materials, we want to review the
[10:18] administrative
[10:20] um
[10:22] allowances that would permit uh staff to
[10:25] review and approve
[10:28] uh work within our historic districts
[10:30] and issue a certificate of occupancy
[10:33] without having to go through board
[10:35] review. And the reason why that's
[10:37] important is in in most instances it
[10:41] time is money. And if we can get a
[10:43] project to construction four weeks
[10:46] faster or eight weeks faster, we are um
[10:51] uh improving the outcome from the
[10:54] developer or the property owner just by
[10:57] the nature of uh saving time and saving
[10:59] money.
[11:01] We've talked a lot about the link
[11:03] district and uh you most recently
[11:06] considered amendments to the uh
[11:10] Portsmith zoning ordinance uh regarding
[11:13] adoption of provisions um of the
[11:15] ordinance to implement the
[11:17] recommendations of the innovation plan.
[11:20] You will recall that we propose that we
[11:23] do that in two phases. Um that we put
[11:26] forth those prescriptive recommendations
[11:28] that are in the plan and we follow that
[11:31] effort with a stakeholder engagement
[11:34] process so that we readress some of the
[11:37] design guidelines that uh are outlined
[11:41] in the innovation plan to model um some
[11:45] of the observations that we've made in
[11:48] other areas. main street downtown areas
[11:51] that have reinvented themselves. Um that
[11:55] effort where we are is developing or
[11:57] identifying stakeholders who would be
[11:59] involved in that process. Uh we have
[12:02] intentionally sought to observe the
[12:05] stakeholder engagement process around
[12:08] the Crawford Bay um
[12:11] um uh stakeholder public engagement
[12:15] efforts that have just includ concluded
[12:18] and and I'll share with you that um I
[12:21] actually registered as a participant uh
[12:24] in the um Porsmith um it was on our the
[12:27] Porsche website and I just marveled how
[12:32] that uh the updates for real time for
[12:35] both of the community engagement efforts
[12:38] uh were sent to me by text message, by
[12:40] email uh and by phone. So, it would have
[12:43] been impossible to forget uh that both
[12:45] of those activities were occurring and
[12:48] then what we were being asked to do as
[12:51] stakeholders
[12:52] uh in the process in in our
[12:54] participation. And so we're going to as
[12:57] closely as possible mimic that process
[13:01] uh in the development of the link
[13:03] district design guidelines.
[13:06] So our short-term rental ordinance, we
[13:10] don't know if we presented this to the
[13:12] planning commission or not, but in
[13:13] September we did present to uh the city
[13:17] council in a work session uh information
[13:20] about our short-term rental ordinance
[13:22] and the provisions of the code of
[13:23] Virginia. And so just in a quick
[13:26] summary, um the code permits by right uh
[13:30] a property owner to use their property
[13:33] for short-term rentals as long as they
[13:36] are residing in the property at least
[13:38] 50% of the time. Okay? So that could
[13:41] mean to, you know, if you take six
[13:43] months out of the year, say they they're
[13:44] living in the property six months and
[13:46] then they're using it as a short-term
[13:48] rental six months or they're residing at
[13:50] the in the property at the same time or
[13:54] portion of the time that it is also um
[13:56] being leased as a short-term rental. Um
[14:01] we had committed to um well we have
[14:04] committed to to have this process
[14:07] complete by summer 2026.
[14:10] Um the the
[14:13] challenge with this one is that the the
[14:16] stakeholders aren't readily
[14:18] identifiable, you know, because I mean
[14:20] in general they're property owners. Uh
[14:23] we think that the um the uh real estate
[14:27] brokerage industry would would also be
[14:29] stakeholders uh involved in this
[14:31] process.
[14:32] uh property managers. There are all
[14:35] kinds of uh levels of expertise that we
[14:37] want to bring to the table in uh vetting
[14:40] and developing an ordinance uh for
[14:43] short-term rentals. Uh I noticed over
[14:45] the weekend um
[14:49] a community is very different from from
[14:51] Portmith. Uh but it's the town of
[14:53] Smithville. There's an article that said
[14:55] they have very few uh short-term rentals
[14:58] and their ordinance only requires the
[15:00] registration um of the uh property as a
[15:04] short-term rental and uh a business
[15:07] license. And so uh we are uh also
[15:11] responsible for benchmarking and and
[15:13] just finding out you know what what our
[15:15] neighboring localities are doing and
[15:16] what's working uh what's not working and
[15:19] then try to launch our ordinance process
[15:22] in a way that avoids those uh regulatory
[15:26] practices that that did not work for our
[15:28] neighbors.
[15:30] Uh comprehensive plan update. So we did
[15:34] an audit of the comprehensive plan that
[15:36] we presented to the PL our planning
[15:38] commissioners and council. Uh we have
[15:42] actually out on EVA which is the state's
[15:45] uh procurement website uh a request for
[15:48] proposals where we're seeking consultant
[15:50] support to help us in the development of
[15:53] our 2040 comprehensive plan. We
[15:56] anticipate that that is going to be uh
[15:59] about a a a 24 to 30month effort. Uh we
[16:04] are uh well aware of the best practices
[16:07] uh Commissioner Melvin that you have
[16:08] asked us to consider uh in the
[16:11] development of that plan. Along the way,
[16:14] you will uh as commissioners will
[16:16] receive periodic reports uh on the
[16:19] status of our plan development uh as
[16:23] well as information about our
[16:24] stakeholder and public engagement um uh
[16:28] activities so that you can participate
[16:30] if you'd like. And then the last item um
[16:34] we should mark that as complete. We did
[16:36] a overhaul of our Chesapeake Bay
[16:39] uh preservation district ordinance uh
[16:42] and uh reaffirmation of the maps
[16:45] designating our RPA, RMA
[16:48] um and intensely developed area features
[16:51] uh on our map. And so just want um
[16:54] commissioners to be aware, you know, in
[16:56] tandem as we're processing these uh land
[16:58] use applications and our site plans and
[17:00] our subdivisions and supporting our five
[17:02] boards and commissions, we are also
[17:04] working on those long-term projects that
[17:07] really um will change the uh physical um
[17:14] appearance, the physical uh plant of the
[17:17] community. Uh and those efforts take
[17:20] time.
[17:21] I'm happy to answer. I'm looking at this
[17:23] is usually y'all are surprised. So, I
[17:26] have an audience of three today.
[17:28] » Do you have any questions? I'd be more
[17:30] than happy to answer them.
[17:31] » Um I think it's just one that is not on
[17:34] this sheet, but it's up there. The code
[17:37] enforcement for entertainment venues.
[17:39] » We took that off. You know why? Cuz we
[17:41] we we are for the most part done with
[17:44] that. We have to tweak that ordinance
[17:46] that was adopted in August 2026.
[17:49] » Um
[17:51] relative to implementation because we
[17:53] had some some challenges that I I don't
[17:55] want to discuss um in public because I'd
[17:58] be identifying the specific properties.
[18:00] Okay.
[18:01] » Um but with respect to uh enforcement
[18:05] and um mitigation of of the the two
[18:09] properties that were a challenge, those
[18:11] issues were resolved on February 25th.
[18:13] » Yes.
[18:13] » Okay.
[18:19] I definitely like the historic district
[18:21] design guideline review. Thank you so
[18:25] much. Um I learned about that the hard
[18:28] way by actually going through it. Um but
[18:31] everybody was great, especially Phil and
[18:33] Miss Rhonda. Um, but I do like that it
[18:36] was uh even a thought um Sean I think
[18:39] his name is who is the president of uh
[18:42] the HPC to like once in a while have a
[18:46] meeting of the minds for everybody
[18:47] involved like from
[18:50] historical to planning commission to
[18:52] zoning just so that like we make sure
[18:54] we're all on one page about some of the
[18:56] changes that come down the pipeline. Um,
[18:59] I'm excited for the link district and
[19:03] short-term rental ordinance. That's
[19:05] going to be um a project. A project and
[19:10] a challenge, but I know you guys can get
[19:12] it done. So, I'm excited about
[19:13] everything that's on the list for the
[19:15] city.
[19:16] » Wonderful. Are you interested in being a
[19:17] stakeholder on any of those?
[19:19] » I can be.
[19:20] » Okay. Any all
[19:21] » Can be. So,
[19:22] » So
[19:24] » Maybe one or two.
[19:25] » Okay.
[19:25] » But I got you.
[19:27] » Thank you. Yeah, thank you for the
[19:28] update. I definitely interested being a
[19:30] stakeholder for the link district
[19:32] ordinance and the uh comprehensive plan.
[19:35] » Um, thank you for
[19:37] um considering my feedback for the
[19:39] comprehensive plan. I know uh doing a
[19:42] great job here with including smart
[19:43] goals which are very important. Um but
[19:46] also including like a capability matrix
[19:48] for each department will help out
[19:50] because you'll find yourself in the same
[19:52] predicament as last year with uh
[19:55] departments not um doing certain you
[19:58] know objectives cuz they just might not
[20:00] have the capability such as you know
[20:02] funding or the amount of people. So the
[20:04] capability matrix gives Mr. Carter the
[20:06] opportunity to see where each department
[20:08] is at and be able to fund or plan out so
[20:13] that they can reach that objective. So
[20:15] just just something to to note there so
[20:18] that we can
[20:20] show action with a comprehensive plan.
[20:23] » Okay. Can you help me with how is the
[20:25] capability metrics um different than uh
[20:30] a task an assignment?
[20:32] » Yeah. So you can um provide you can give
[20:35] any task right but if the department per
[20:39] se can't meet that task
[20:42] then it's just it's just out there it's
[20:44] not going to be done. So with the
[20:45] capability matrix matrix it shows you
[20:48] there's like a a taxonomy out there that
[20:52] shows you like uh from levels one to
[20:53] five
[20:55] um where you can meet at. And like
[20:57] usually typically when companies do this
[21:00] they want to be at level three or four.
[21:02] That means that their pro processes are
[21:03] in place. They have the right amount of
[21:05] people that can do the job. They have
[21:07] the funding so that they can meet that
[21:09] task. Now, if you're under level three,
[21:12] if you're at one or two, that means you
[21:14] don't have the processes in place, you
[21:15] don't have the funding, you don't have
[21:16] the people, so you can't meet that
[21:18] objective. And there's nothing to do
[21:20] with, you know, the department itself.
[21:22] It's just that there's some there's a
[21:24] shortage somewhere. And with the
[21:25] capability matrix, it gives you the city
[21:28] manager the um the ability to see like,
[21:32] okay, I see where my shortfalls are at
[21:35] now. I can uh strategically
[21:37] um allocate resources to that department
[21:41] so that they can meet that objective if
[21:43] that's your priority. So that's how
[21:46] capability matrix will will help out
[21:47] with the task. Because if you just have
[21:49] a task and smart goals, it's nice to
[21:51] have on paper,
[21:54] but you need the people, you need the
[21:55] funding, you need the processes in order
[21:58] to actually execute. And that's where I
[22:01] realized that a lot of, you know,
[22:04] companies uh go wrong is that they don't
[22:06] have the means to execute. I know we're
[22:08] in a resource constraint environment
[22:11] and this allows you to see on paper
[22:13] where we're at and then prioritize um
[22:16] based off of that. Right. So, you know,
[22:19] we always say like the the hard thing is
[22:22] not what you're going to do, it's what

[29:20] » But the council said it's probably most
[29:22] important that we defer to next meeting.
