Only residential property rehabilitation standards have been developed and are made a part of this Plan as the City of Roanoke Building Property Maintenance Code. The applicable zoning ordinance and building codes of the City of Roanoke shall be the standards for non-residential property which may be rehabilitated or developed.

OTHER PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE OR LOCAL LAW The Redevelopment Plan is based upon the fi~dings of the existance of the following conditions which are pursuant to the provisions of Title 36 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, and the Codes and Ordinances of the City of Roanoke, The Gainsboro Program Area is substandard by reason of dilapidation, deterioration or obsolescence of structures, overcrowding of land, blight and other conditions detrimental to public health, safety, welfare or morals. The Program Area is appropriate for rehabilitation and redevelopment treatment by the necessity to remove, prevent and reduce existing blight, blighting influences and other causes of blight. The closing of the Hotel Roanoke has elirn!nated the single most significant commercial enterprise in the Gaiusboro Community, has rendered impracticable the planned revital[Tafion of the nearby Henry Street commercial area, and has introduced a major new blighting influence into a community already substantially at risk. The planned reuse of property in the Program Area is in general conformity with the comprehensive Plan for the City of Roanoke. The Redevelopment Plan provides for the improvement of housing'~ondifions and to remove, reduce or otherwise prevent blight, blighting factors or the cause of blight, through rehabilitation and conservation. The Redevelopment Plan provides for the renovation of the Hotel Roanoke as a major element of a modem hotel-conference center complex which will eliminate a si~ficant blighting influence, stimulate the economy of the Galnsboro Program Area and the City in general, and act as a catalyst for redevelopment of the Henry Street commercial area. CD-1 Roanoke, Virginia 1/93 12 The Redevelopment Plan, as shown on the Land Use Map RP-2 dated January, 1993, indicates to the extent possible the real property to be made available for redevelopment and rehabil/tation by private enterprise an~/ public agency. The Redevelopment Plan, as shown on the Land Use Map RP-2 dated January, 1993, indicates the proposed land use and sets forth the buR/ling requirements and the rehabilitation standards to be used in the Program Area. The Redevelopment Plan provides for the realiTafion of local objectives with respect to health, safety, morals and welfare of the dtizens of the City, including: Protect/on of economic values and tax revenues by the upgrading of blighted area, and stimulation of the economy of the Gainsboro Community and the City in general by development of a modern hotel- conference center on the site of the closed Hotel Roanoke in the Program Area. Reduction of the spread of disease and crime by the elimination of unhealthful living conditions and improper environmental condifioas. Making the now blighted area avdlable for sound development which will react to the overall benefit of the City through provision of street improvement which will provide adequate service to and within the area and relieve congestion and the arrangement of land uses to permit compatible development. To fadl/tate the development of land inhibited by diverse ownership. Property ownership is generally limited to small individual holdings, with some estate ownership in an area which suffers from the effects of obsolete layout due to inadequate original subdivision and poor topography. Subdivision without regard to topographic defidency has retarded the assembly of properties in suffident numbers to produce a building site or sites meeting present day residential or industrial requirements. At the same t/me, small indiv/dual ownership has not been able to overcome the basic environmental deficiencies caused by original subdivision and ex/sting topography. To make land available for sound, wholesome development in accordance with a Redevelopment Plan cons/stent with local objectives with respect to: 1) Appropriate Land Uses The Redevelopment Plan is in complete accord with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Roanoke including the reduction in or the removal of blighted residential, commercial, and industrial areas; rehabil/tafion of deteriorating residential and commerdal structures; and improvement of the street system within the Program .area. CD-1 Roanoke, V~nla 1/93 10. 11. 2) Improved Traffic Improve traffic flow through the upgrading of the street systenl. 3) Recreationol, Cultural, Community Facilities and Other Public Improvements The Redevelopment Plan provides for the development and retention of those public and institutional facilities required to provide an improved residential environment and for the development of a modem hotel-conference center complex using a renovated and reopened Hotel Roanoke as its centerpiece, and for the redevelopment and revitaliTation of the historic Hemy Street commercial area. Conditions and Limitations, Including Time, Under Which Property Shall be Made Available. At the time property is m~de available for conservation (including rehabilitation), development or redevelopment by public or private enterprise, the Authority shall stipulate in disposition documents that such conservation, development or redevelopment treatment shall be completed within a period of time fixed by the Authority as reasonable and shall establish such other conditions as are necessary in the judgment of the Authority to insure that the purposes of this Redevelopment Plan and of Title 36 of the Code of Virginia of 1950 as amended, are carried out. The following m~thods, procedures and criteria will be utilized in relocation of residents: The temporary relocation (when necessary) of persons living in the Program Area, and Providing decent, safe and samtary dwell!ngs m the City of Roanoke substantially equal to the number of substandard dwellings to be cleared for the area; at rents within the financial reach of the income groups displaced from such substandard dwellings as follows: 1) The Authority will comply with applicable State and Federal laws and will administer relocation procedures by using experienced Authority personnel. 2) A family-by-family survey, together with a survey of single persons, industrial and commercial establishments, will be conducted and the data obtained will be compiled by the Authority staff immediately prior to or at the" time of aeqttisition. 3) Listings from newspaper advertisements and realtors of available rental units will be kept current by the Authority staff.

The Relocation Staff of the Authority will offer the family so relocated further assistance in obtain/ng standard accommodations. Families and single persons will be advised in writing and by personal interview regarding the relocation procedures. All quarters available or used for the relocation of persons will be personally inspected by the Relocation Staff of the Authority and certified as being safe, decent and sanitary, as warranted. Relocation will be fully documented and recorded. Occupants will be informed of impending demolition of structures and of plans of the Authority with respect to cooperating in their relocation. The site families and single persons will be notified personally and in writing in order that the Authority is assured that proper notification has been issued.

Grisso, Acting Director of Finance Financial Status Report for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 1993 Attached are the monthly financial statements for the period ending March 31, 1993. I have included an explanation of the General Fund revenue and expenditure variances for major categories. In general, the same trends and variances that were discussed with the December financial report are continuing. General Property Taxes continue on target with the adopted revenue estimate. The 3.87 percent increase in collections compared to last fiscal year is attributable to the increase in real estate assessments. As you know, May 31 is the due date for personal property taxes, one of our major revenue sources. We will monitor this revenue source very closely as the due date approaches. Other Local Taxes have some positive and negative variations occurring with the individual tax sources. State Sales Tax collections are currently 4.65 percent ahead of last year's collections for this same period, but still lag approximately 1 percent behind the adopted estimate for fiscal year 1993. Utility Taxes are running approximately 6 percent ahead of the estimate while Cigarette Taxes and Transient Room Taxes are not performing up to the estimate. The favorable variance in utility tax collections should essentially offset the negative variance in the Cigarette and Transient Room Tax if the current trend continues throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. These first two major categories of revenue comprise 58.25 percent of the total General Fund revenue estimate. Honorable Mayor and Members City Council April 26, 1993 Page 2 Intergovernmental (State and Federal) for the City administration represents 16.0 percent of the total General Fund estimate. This category is comprised mainly of social service program reimbursements and state allocations for highway maintenance and law enforcement. Overall the category is performing according to estimate. Education, another major category funded primarily by state and federal monies, makes up 21.8 percent of total General Fund revenues. There are no notable variations from budgeted estimates within this category. The remaining smaller categories taken as a whole comprise only 3.95 percent of the total General Fund revenue estimate and are performing according to budgeted estimates. The General Fund expenditure statement reflects that we are three quarters through our fiscal year and have spent or obligated 74.44 percent of the annual budget. Most categories reflect a relatively small increase over last year. Significant variations in several categories are explained below. Public Works increased spending is primarily attributable to equipment purchases in the Parks Maintenance department and payments to the Fleet Maintenance Fund for vehicular equipment. As a reminder, this is a new program initiated in fiscal year 1993 to provide better fleet management and a systematic funding procedure for vehicular replacement. Parks, Recreation and Cultural increased expenditures are made up of $225,000 to the Convention Bureau, $30,000 To Virginia Amateur Sports, $42,500 to Harrison Cultural Center and $36,315 to Cable Television Educational Access Channel. Most of the variance in this category relates to the timing of payments as opposed to significant variances in the budgetary amount. Education expenditure increases are due primarily to increased salary and fringe benefit costs and increased capital outlay of $729,092. Debt Service expenditures are approximately 10 percent less than last year due to the net reduction of interest and principal payments related to refunding of 1985 General Obligation Bonds. The majority of our debt service principal payments occur during the first 6 months of the fiscal year, which accounts for 93.63 percent expenditure in this category. Honorable Mayor and Members City Council April 26, 1993 Page 3 Nondepartmental expenditures are up significantly on a year- to-date basis because operating subsidies for the Civic Center, Nursing Home, and Transportation Funds were transferred in the first half of Fiscal Year 1993 to provide cash flow for operations in the respective fund. In the prior year these subsidies were transferred later in the fiscal year. Enterprise Funds are operating without significant budget variations. This analysis of General Fund revenue and expenditures is provided to keep you abreast of how we stand as we approach the last quarter of the fiscal year. Even though we are three quarters through the year, we will still monitor the budget very closely as the personal property and second half business license due dates have yet to occur. I would be pleased to provide any additional information you may request. JDG:s Attachment cc: ~rector of Finance W. Robert Herbert, city Manager Wilburn C.

Robert Herbert City Manager Roanoke, Virginia Mr. James D. Grisso Acting Director of Finance Roanoke, Virginia Gentlemen: At a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Roanoke held on Monday, April 26, 1993, Council Member Harvey requested that the matter of developing a procedure whereby property owners may pay their real estate taxes by installments be referred to you for study, report and recommendation to Council. Sincerely, Mary F. Parker, CMC/AAE City Clerk MFP: sm CITY r: : '93 APR14 P2:'J4 Roanoke, Virginia April 19, 1993 Honorable David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council: Subject: Fire Lane Penalty BACKGROUND: A. June 26~ 1981 - City Council passed Ordinance No. 25646 creating a penalty for fire lane parking violators making it a traffic infraction. B. Enforcement actions are concentrated in the followinq areas where fire lane parkinq violations have the potential to create public safety hazards: 1. On public streets 2. Shopping malls 3. Private streets 4. Hospitals 5. Nursing homes and homes for the aged 6. Schools 7. Public buildings Private parking lots with provisions to park fifty or more vehicles Fire lane parkinq violations continue to be a public safety concern, averaging approximately 1,000 ticketed violations per year. The actual number of violations is not known due to limited enforcement by Fire Department staff. Police Department averages citing 700 violations per year for fire lanes on public right- of-way. The current fine is not serving as a deterrent. D. Continued violations of this City ordinance create serious public safety concerns, i.e. acces~ to Honorable David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 2 April 19, 1992 sprinkler connections, standpipe connections, obstruction at entrance preventing fire attack and creating evacuation problems. The following Virginia cities are currently charging listed fines for fire lane violations: · Roanoke County $25.00 · Salem $25.00 · Charlottesville $30.00 · Hampton City (in process of increasing this fee) $25.00 Fairfax County $25.00 Fairfax City $25.00 Chesterfield County $15.00 Virginia Beach $50.00 Prince William County $50.00 II. CURRENT SITUATION: A. Roanoke City Fire Marshals currently enforce these violations as time allows. B. Members of Roanoke City Police Department also enforce fire lane ordinances in the public right-of-way. C. Enforcement of these violations generates approximately $10,000.00 a year in fees, based on the current penalty for fire lane violations of $10.00. The penalty for illegally parking in areas other than fire lanes is $5.00. D. Handicap parking violation penalty is currently set at $50.00. The amount of handicap parking fine has served as a deterrent to potential handicap parking violators. Because of the importance of unobstructed fire lanes, the fire lane penalty should also serve as a deterrent for individuals using fire lanes as available parking space. E. April 12~ 1993~ City Council was briefed on the subject of fire lane penalty. III. ISSUES: A. Public Safety B. Revenue Enhancement Honorable David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 3 April 19, 1992 IV. ALTERNATIVES: A. City Council amend Section 20-89 (b) (2) of the City Code to provide an increase in the penalty for fire lane violators from $10.00 to $50.00 effective July 1, 1993, to minimize the number of fire lane violations and ensure that public safety vehicles can respond effectively in an emergency. 1. Public Safety will be enhanced by an increase in the fire lane penalty fee. 2. Revenue enhancement will occur for the short term but may actually reduce as the penalty serves as a deterrent to the number of violations over the long term. B. City Council reject an increase in penalty for fire lane violators. Public Safety will not be enhanced. Revenue enhancement will not be an issue. RECOMMENDATION: City Council concur with Alternative "A" to increase the fire lane penalty from $10.00 to $50.00 effective July 1, 1993. Increasing the fine from $10.00 to $50.00 will improve the public safety concern involving this violation. Public education involving public service announcements will begin once Council has enacted this increase in the fire lane penalty. Enhanced signage indicating the new fine at the fire lane locations in the public right-of-way will occur. Respectfully submitted, W. Robert Herbert City Manager cc: George C.

Robert Herbert City Manager Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mr. Herbert: I am attaching copy of a statement from M. Rupert Cutler, Education Director, Virginia Explore Park, suggesting ways by which the City can help Explore Park indirectly during the 1993-94 fiscal year, which statement was before the Council of the City of Roanoke at a regular meeting held on Monday, April 26, 1993. On motion, duly seconded and unanimously adopted, the matter was referred to you for review and to 1993-94 budget study for consideration. Sincerely, ~_~ Mary F. Parker, CMC/AAE City Clerk MFP: sm pc: Mr. Wilburn C. Dibling, Jr., City Attorney Mr. James D. Grisso, Acting Director of Finance Mr. Barry L. Key, Manager, Office of Management and Budget Mr. M. Rupert Cut]er, £ducation Director, Virginia's Park, 2865 Jefferson Street, S. E., Roanoke, Virginia 24014 Statement on Explore Park to the Roanoke City Council April 26, 1993 by M. Rupert Cutler Education Director, Virginia's Explore Park and Roanoke City resident (2865 Jefferson Street, S.E.) Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Members of Council, for this opportunity to address you. My statement will be brief, and my suggestions, I believe, will be practical. I hope you find them attractive. Given the many competing demands for limited city resources and the fact that Explore Park is in the county, I understand why Explore is not on your budget "radar screen." I have said to you before, though, and I'll say again, that a fully developed Explore Park will contribute to the profitability of the re-opened Hotel Roanoke, by giving the hotel marketing staff a Roanoke-area destination attraction to help lure conventions to this city. So I'll reiterate my suggestion that the city and the county swap a few thousand dollars in a symbolic but important gesture to acknowledge the interdependence of the hotel and park projects. The chief executive officer of your university partner in the hotel project, Dr. James D. McComas, has not hesitated to endorse Explore. In a November 4, 1992 letter to a prospective funding source for Explore's education center, Dr. McComas said: "IT]he [Explore] project. · · is important to the entire Commonwealth but especially to the western part of Virginia and Virginia Tech. I can promise you that the facilities and programs at Explore will be first-class .... Explore will capitalize on the millions of tourists which come to Williamsburg, Monticello and other areas of the state. [Its] educational facility.., will be used by educators, students and citizens from all around the world .... I hope [your company] will see this project as world class with accompanying visibility and recognition .... " Clearly, Virginia Tech sees Explore as complementary to a re-opened Hotel Roanoke, and I hope you do, too. Enough in that vein. My favorite aspect of today's Explore Park is the mutually beneficial partnerships we are building with other local entities--science teachers, Boy Scouts, the local bird club, the Sierra Club, the Junior League, the YWCA, the professional foresters in the Society of American Foresters, and the Botetourt Mounted Search and Rescue group, for example--all of which have conducted or will soon conduct special events such as camporees, hikes, and trail-construction field days in Explore Park. But rather than ask you to budget city general funds for Explore Park's operating or capital budgets, let me suggest that you consider helping Explore Park indirectly in the next fiscal year in ways such as these: provide the History Museum of Western Virginia in Center in the Square with a grant of $10,000 for a exhibit on Roanoke's history and architectural landmarks, to be installed in Explore's entrance pavilion and education center, to motivate Explore's visitors to come to downtown Roanoke; · provide the Harrison Museum of African-American Culture with a $10,000 grant to design and install an exhibit in the Mountain Union Chapel, after it is moved to Explore from Botetourt County, wlxich will depict the African-American experience in the Roanoke Valley in the period 1750-1850; · provide the Science Museum of Western Virginia with a grant of $10,000 to enable our friends at the Science Museum to transport the school classes which visit the Center in the Square Museum out to Explore Park on the same day; · provide the Mill Mountain Zoo with a grant of $10,000 to help defray the expense of running the American Center for Rare and Endangered Species (ACRES) at Explore Park; the funds could be used either to develop an exhibit at the Mill Mountain site (showing what the zoo staff is doing at Explore with the red wolf captive breeding, domestic minor breeds of farm livestock, and chestnut tree reintroduction) or to help pay ACRES staff salaries; · provide the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra with a grant of $4,000 to cover the expense of copying the score Music Director Victoria Bond is composing-- an original work on the subject of environmental ethics for narrator and symphony to be dedicated to Explore Park on its opening in 1994; or · encourage the Roanoke Public School System to continue and perhaps increase its financial support for the environmental learning program for fourth graders from city public schools at Explore Park; the school system provided $5,400 to us for this purpose in the current school year. The use of Explore Park by all these city-based partners is what Explore Park is all about: public service. Any way you can help us meet our modest financial needs--directly or indirectly as just suggested--will be greatly appreciated. Thank
