Mayor Bowers and Members of Council. I am pleased to have the
opportunity to brief you today in regard to the City's Summer Youth
Activities Programs. Many of you may recall the 1992 "Youth Summit"
which involved a survey of 51 organizations, religious congregations, and
interested citizens.
This survey identified an inventory of youth programs and services
available throughout Roanoke. Four focus groups were then formed to
develop strategies to enhance the availability of positive opportunities for
our young people. The recommendations developed during this process
were implemented during the summer of 1992 with emphasis placed in
the following areas:
Youth Role Model Program
Teen Special Events
Recreational Opportunities in the Parks, and
Internships, Jobs, and Volunteer Opportunities
The partnership developed between the Office on Youth, Roanoke
City Police Department and Parks & Recreation Department in order to
implement these opportunities has continued to evolve into a strong
viable entity. This program is now entering its i'u'th season, and we
JL~_-10-19% 15: 51 54~98i i287 99% P. 02
believe this year will prove to be the most exciting, innovative, and
successful season for the Youth Summit Activities. I would like to call
upon a few of the people who are providing leadership in these program
areas to share with you some specifics regarding each program.
First, I would like to recognize Officer Bill Latham, Crime
Prevention Officer with the Roanoke City Police Department to update
you on thi.~ year's DRUG ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION CAMP
(also commonly known as DARE camp):
Officer Latham:
Thank you Officer Latham. I would now like to ask that Vic
Garber, Recreation Superintendent, provide you with an update in
regard to several recreation programs.
Vic Garber:
Thank you, Mr. Gather.
Marion Vaughan Howard of the Office on Youth is not able to be
with us today, so I will provide you with an overview of the Summer Jobs
Internship program:
Our commitment toward enhancing the quality of life for the
young people of Roanoke does not begin and end with the Youth Summit

Programs. You should find at your seat some literature which provides
a sampling of other opportunities for our youth. We are continuing
expand our leisure service offerings into new areas each quarter of the
year.
Our Adventure Bound program offers canoeing opportunities this
summer for the first time. Thanks to a $20,000 Reebok Settlement
Award through the State Attorney General's Office, we were able
to buy eleven canoes.
Youth Sports camps this year include a series of week long soccer
camps in cooperation with the Roanoke Riverdawgs Minor League
Soccer Team.
Registration in Youth Athletic Leagues continues to grow: for
example, this summer we saw au increase of 29 youth softball and
baseball teams.
We are currently conducting sign-ups for football and soccer and
anticipate similar increases in these sports. Last year, we served
1,200 youth through our recreational soccer league alone.
Programs for youth at our recreation centers continue to expand as
we continue to make a priority of being open when our young
~UL-10-1996 1Z:Z2 5z~9811287 96~ P.04
people typically have idle time.
We are excited about the stong emphasis the City has placed upon
assuring our young people have quality in their lives - and thank you for
allowing us the opportunity to update you today with the state of our
programs.
I would be happy to address any questions you may have at this
time.

RE: 1996 Report of the Board of Equalization
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of Council:
I am enclosing a copy of the Report of the
Equalization in preparation for the taxable year July 1,
June 30, 1997, inclusive, received
were 19 commercial appeals
residential appeals
Board of
1996, to
The Board 109 appeals. There
and industrial considered and 84
considered.
Orders dated June 14, 1996, were mailed on June 14, 1996,
informing each taxpayer of the Board's decision.
The Board was particularly grateful to Bob Herbert, City
Manager, and his staff for providing private office space for the
Board to meet with City taxpayers to perform the Board's duties.
The Board also expressed thanks to Will Claytor and his staff for
their cooperation in supplying property data and their time in
meeting with the Board on accessed values. They trust this
assistance will be available for future Equalization Boards.
The Board recommends that future Equalization Boards continue
to have access to the computer service in their work and strongly
recommends that future Equalization Boards be provided with the
current office space that is private and separate from the Office
of Real Estate Valuation.
The Board further recommends that in order to accomplish their
duties as members of the Board of Equalization of Real Estate
Assessments for the City of Roanoke that it is critical to have
proper, private space for the Board to meet with City taxpayers and
that such space be provided.
Hon. David A. Bowers, Mayor -2- June 21, 1996
The Executive Secretary to the Board of Equalization, Ms. Pat
Lam, is an irreplaceable asset. Her efforts and support should be
commended. The Board of Equalization could not function without her
assistance.
I met with the members of the Equalization Board on June 21,
1996, at 11:30 a.m. and generally discussed its activities. Each of
the members of the Board exhibited a positive attitude toward his
work and the working relationship between the Equalization Board
and the Roanoke City Administration. Each is willing to serve next
year.
If you are aware of any problems, or if you wish to offer any
suggestions for the improvement of the appointment process for the
Equalization Board, please advise us. I am providing copies of this
letter to those persons indicated below.
I am enclosing a copy of the order appointing the present
Board members.
It has been a pleasure working with this Board. Please advise
me if I can be of further assistance or provide further
information.

Dear Mary:
This letter follows our Friday telephone
conversation.
Please advise City Council that I will be
unable to stand for reappointment to the Board
of Commissioners of the Roanoke Redevelopment
and Housing Authority when my term expires
later this summer.
It is hard for me to believe that four years
have passed since my last reappointment to the
Authority board! As we discussed, I promised
myself four years ago that this term would be
my last and I feel very strongly that I should

Dear Mr. Dibling:
At a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Roanoke held on Monday, July 1, 1996,
Mr. Lewis O. Ferguson, 3209 Troy Avenue, N. W., expressed concern with regard to
provisions of Ordinance No. 32575 adopted on July 24, 1995, in connection with the
keeping of inoperative vehicles on property in residential, commercial or agricultural
districts of the City. He expressed specific concern relative to the requirement that
vehicles display a valid license plate or a valid inspection decal, and questioned whether
the Ordinance violates the constitutional rights of citizens of the City of Roanoke.
On motion, duly seconded and adopted, the matter was referred to you for appropriate
communication with Mr. Ferguson.

At a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Roanoke held on Monday, July 1, 1996,
Mr. Charles R. Hancock, 1016 Estates Road, S. E., expressed concern that on June 29,

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
I was recently driving near the Airport and went through the tunnel on Airport Road
under Runway 24. At that time, it occurred to me that we had never really done
anything to recognize the tremendous contribution made by our former Airport
Manager, Marshall Harris. He was the one who led the airport through the years when
we were the Piedmont Airlines' hub, and he was extremely well thought of in the airport
administration business.
It seems very fitting that we consider naming the tunnel after Marshall Harris followed
by an appropriate ceremony to dedicate the tunnel with Mr. Harris' family present. We
o.tten do not take the time to recognize enough people in the Roanoke Valley who have
g~ven so much of themselves to make this a much better place for all of us. This would
be another way to recognize an important contribution to the region.
I would be grateful for your consideration of this matter and hope you will give it your
consideration. I look forward to hearing from you regarding your thoughts on this idea.

addressed to the Mayor and Council concerning the tunnel on Airport Road under Runway 24.
This matter was referred to the City administration for study and report with recommendation.
In keeping with previously established policy related to the naming of public streets and
bridges, your proposal is being referred to the City Planning Commission for their consideration
and recommendation to City Council. I have every reason to believe that your proposal will
receive expedited consideration.

Dear Mr. Herbert:
On February 28, 1996, the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority approved its 1996-97
annual budget. The budget totals $10,282,455 and represents a 1% reduction from the 1995-96
budget total.
The Resource Authority will maintain the current disposal fees through June 30, 1997
of $50/ton for municipal waste and $55/ton for commercial waste. The Board of Directors and
employees are proud that we have been able to offer high quality service to the City a~ costs well
below those originally projected.
The budget also includes a $5/ton credit to the charter members along with the recycling
grant program. Both the credit and the recycling grants will be diminated in the 1997-98 fiscal
year and you should, therefore, make the necessary plans in your operating budget.
I am pleased to submit this annual budget in accordance with the Member Use Agreement
for the Roanoke City Council's approval. Almched is a sun-anary of the budget and a
comparison of the budget and the bond projections. A detailed budget is awilahle if additional
information is needed.
The Resource Authority is committed to continuing the excellent servic~ provided to the
City and the other charter members and we look forward to an exciting futuro.
Sincerely,
Allaq C. Robinson, Ir.

City Council Report #96-19
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Subject:
Establishment of local incentives and appropriation of funding as set forth in
the Enterprise Zone Two application to the Virginia Department of Housing
and Community Development
I. B3r~gr.o.u~ on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
The Virginia Enterprise Zone Act of 1982, authorizes the Governor to
designate up to fifty areas within the Commonwealth as Enterprise Zones.
Business firms which locate or expand within a designated Enterprise Zone are
eligible for significant benefits, including credits on state taxes and local
incentives.
The first Roanoke Urban Ente~rize Zone was established (Enterprise Zone
One) in 1984 for an area of 1,895 acres. A map of Enterprise Zone One is
attached. In addition to the tax incentives offered by the State of Virginia, the
City of Roanoke set forth an additional local incentive by Resolution No.
26877, on February 6, 1984. This resolution states that the City of Roanoke
will waive or refund the cost of the Building Permit fees for business firms
locating within Enterprise Zone One.
The City Manager was authorized by City Council to submit a second
Enterprise Zone application on October 16. 1995. City Council endorsed local
incentives as set forth in the application to the Virginia Department of Housing
and Community Development through Ordinance Number 32681-101695. The
application was for establishment of Roanoke's second Enterprise Zone
(Enterprise Zone Two) and stipulated that the City of Roanoke would offer
certain local incentives effective July 1, 1996, through June 30, 2001.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 1, 1996--Page 2
II.
The City of Roanoke~s second Enterprise Zone was designated by Governor
Allen effective January 1, 1996, to December 31, 2015. The total acreage for
Enterprise Zone Two is 1,020 acres; a map of Enterprise Zone Two is attached.
Funding will be needed for local incentives and operational expenses associated
with Enterprise Zone Two.
Current Situation is as follows:
City Council needs to adopt appropriate measures establishing local incentives
and appropriate funding for the following programs:
City rebates up to 100% of water, fire. and sewer hookup fees for
businesses undertaking new building construction of at least $250,000
within Enterprise Zone Two after documentation of a permanent
certificate of occupancy with the following limitations:
~ City Rebates
$1,000,000- or more 100%
$900,000- $999,999.99 90%
$800,000- $899,999.99 80%
$700,000- $799,999.99 70%
$600,000- $699,999.99 60%
$500,000- $599,999.99 50%
$400,000- $499,999.99 40%
$300,000- $399,999.99 30%
$250,000- $299,999.99 20%
$0- $249,999.99 0%
o
Real estate tax exemption for businesses within Enterprise Zone Two
for increasing, through substantial rehabilitation or renovation, the
assessed value of an existing commercial or industrial building which is
15 or more years of age by $50,000 or more. The amount of the
exemption from mai property taxation shall be an amount equal to the
difference in the appraised value of the structure immediately before
rehabilitation or renovation and immediately after rehabilitation or
renovation as determined by the Director of Real Estate Valuation. This
amount only, on a fixed basis, shall constitute the exemption,
notwithstanding subsequent assessment or reassessment. New
construction of additional square footage will not qualify toward the tax
exemption, as the purpose of the incentive is to encourage renovation of
existing structures. The exemption remains with the building, not with
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 1, 1996--Page 3
o
the owner of the building, for a period of five years and begins on July
1 of the year following completion of the rehabilitation or renovation
and approval of the application for exemption. The maximum tax
abatement for any individual building over the five year period is
$75,000. A $50.00 application fee will be required. The types of
substantial rehabilitation or renovation improvements considered as
increasing the assessed value are limited to those made to the actual
qualifying structure only. Other improvements, fees, or costs will not
be considered.
Rebate of development fe~:s (building permit and comprehensive
development plan review) for businesses within Enterprise Zone Two of
up to 100% for new construction investment of $1,000,000 or more to
be refunded after documentation of a permanent certificate of occupancy
is provided. The following limitations apply:
$5,000,000- or mom 100%
$1,000,000- $4,999,999.99 50%
$0- $999,999.99 0%
J]2'0~aj~ for businesses within Enterprise Zone Two of up to
$1,000 per newly created permanent full-time position for Zone Two
residents and up to $500 per newly created permanent full-time position
for residents living outside Zone Two. Businesses must create at least
10 permanent full-time positions and invest at least $250,000 in real
property and/or machinery and equipment within the same calendar year
to be eligible for the grants. Only newly created permanent full-time
positions will be considered for the one-time grant. Grants will be
awarded with documentation of creation of the tenth position and the
minimum investment. A business creating 10 permanent full-time
positions would receive one grant, 11 positions two grants, 12 positions
three grants, etc. The maximum amount in the program per fiscal year
is $25,000. Should approved applications for grants exceed the $25,000
maximum, grants will be prorated based on the total grants approved for
that particular year. Seasonal, temporary, leased or contract labor
positions, or positions created when a job function is shifted from an
existing location in the Commonwealth to a business firm located within
Zone Two shall not qualify as permanent full-time positions.
Companies qualifying for state job grants are not eligible for the local,
one-time job training grants.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 1, 1996--Page 4

and personal development seminars, project cost reduction, and certain
housing rehabilitation efforts.
10.
The period of availability for these local incentives will be from July 1,
1996, through June 30, 2001.
Issues in order of importance are as follows:
A. Need for measures establishing local incentives.
C. Accountability.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 1, 1996--Page 5
D. Pro,am Implementation.
E. Economic Development Program,
IV. /Mtr, maliE~ in order of feasibility are as follows:

Need for measures establishing local incentives as set forth in Section II
and the Enterprise Zone Two application would be met. The City of
Roanoke was awarded a second Enterprise Zone contingent upon
establishment of certain local incentives which were included in the
application.
Ertlgxaln_F_unding in the amount of $156,050 needs to be appropriated

amount in the program is $100,000.
Erllgxalxl_F_ull~l~g for the Development Fees will be handled by rebates.
~ for the Real Estate Tax Exemption is foregone
revenue.
3. ~:cdzlml. ahil~ for this program will be as follows:
Program implementation and result~ - City Manager.
,~omltiag - Director of Finance.
Program Implementation will be handled via the City Manager and the
Office of Economic Development and Grants.
Economic Development Pro,am of the City will be enhanced by
providing incentives for new and expanding businesses thus creating
new jobs and revenue to the City.
Do not adopt appropriate measures establishing local incentives or authorize
appropriation of pro_m-am fimdlng for the flint year of Enterprise
operations in the amount of 5;156.050 from Undesignated Capital Fund Interest,

Enterprise Zone Two will be rescinded by the Commonwealth.
3.
4.
5.
will not be an issue.
will not be an issue.
Program Implementation will not be an issue.
Economic Development Program of the City will be hindered in that,
Roanoke City could lose designation of Enterprise Zone Two. If
Enterprise Zone Two is rescinded, then the City of Roanoke will lose
the opportunity to offer various state tax incentives and job grants to
businesses locating within Enterprise Zones. The state tax incentives
and job grants currently offered in Enterprise Zone One would not be
affected.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Cotmci!

submission of the Annual Update to the Consolidated Plan to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by Resolution No. 32939-051396,
adopted on May 13, 1996.
Bo
HUD approval is forthcolning on the City's FY 1996-97 HOME application. The
letter of approval is pending the routine Congressional release process.
Current Situation:
Grant approval is for $601.000. the entitlement amoum requested by the City.

Attachment A.)
Co
$355.237 needs to be transferred within the 1994-95 and 1995-96 entitlement
accounts to projects included in the FY 1996-97 HOME Investment Partnerships
Program. (See Attachment B.)
The new $601_000 HOME grant requires $127_713 in matching fund,:. Matching
funds will come from cash and in-kind contributions from non-federal sources. No
outlays of City funds will be needed to meet the match requirement. The
availability of matching funds will be verified and documented by the Office of

Adopt a resolution accepting the FY 1996-97 HOME fondn when the
approval letter is received from HUD and authorize the City Manager to
~ the required Grant Agreement (to be approved as to form by the
City Attorney), Funding Approval, and any other forms required by HUD
on behalf of the City in order to accept such funds; and
Appropriate $601.000 to revenue and expenditure accounts in the Grant
Fund to be established by the Director of Finance, as detailed in
Attachment A; and
Transfer $355.237 within the 1994-95 and 1995-96 entitlement accounts to
projects included in the FY 1996-97 HOME program, as detailed in
Attachment B.
Impact on community development in the Ci~;y would be positive,
continuing programs which Council has endorsed in the past and
funding new initiatives to address citizens' concerns.
b. F_unc[iag would be available from the sources indicated in
Attachments A and B.
Timing is important. The funds are needed implement programs
on, or as soon as possible after, July 1, 1996.

Timing could be a problem. Construction projects or acquisitions
could be delayed and staff salaries affected if Council does not
accept the new entitlement funds on July 1, 1996.
d. Administrative capability would not be an issue.

Adopting a resolution accepting the FY 1996-97 HOME funds when the approval
letter is received from HUD and authorizing the City Manaoer to execnte the
required Grant Agreement (to be approved as to form by ~e City Attorney),
Funding Approval, and any other forms required by HUD on behalf of the City in

Subject:
Acceptance of 1996-97 HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) Entitlement and Appropriation of Funds for HOME
Activities
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
This briefing letter addresses Council Report 96-21, on the above subject, which you will
consider at the regular weekly session to be held July 1, 1996.
Housing, neighborhood and economic development, and human services are among the
highest priorities of the City. To help us address these priorities, each year the City applies for
and receives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) nearly $3
million in new grants. Since 1992, about one-fourth of these yearly grants has been provided by
HUD under its HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. For 1996/97, the new HOME
grant amounts to $601,000.
The HOME Program focuses specifically on increasing the stock of affordable housing
which is available to families earning 80% or less of the area median income. Currently, this
means a yearly income of up to $34,300 for a family of four, though many families assisted earn
much less.
HOME allows the City, directly or through other agencies, to construct new housing or
rehabilitate existing housing. Existing properties may be vacant, owner-occupied or rental units.
They may be single-family or multi-family in design. Within limits specified by HUD, HOME
funds can be used to acquire properties, including direct financial assistance to homebuyers, pay
for development and bricks and mortar costs, program administration, and other associated
expenses. Properties purchased with HOME funds must be the family's principal residence and
must remain affordable to subsequent homebuyers for up to 15 years, depending on the amount
of HOME funds invested.
To date, HOME funds have assisted agencies such as the Redevelopment and Housing
Authority, Northwest Neighborhood Environmental Organization, Habitat for Humanity, and
Room 364 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia 24011-1591 (540) 981-2333 FAX (540) 224-3138

others to conduct some 150 housing projects. Ongoing efforts range from small down payment
and closing costs grants to single families to the construction of 20 new homes ns part of Habitat's
extensive rehabilitation of the City's Perry Park area.
I hope this brief overview will help you understand the basic nature of the HOME Program
and the benefits it offers to our community. Please contact me if you have questions.
Sincerely,
City Manager

ATTEST:
City Clerk.
Roanoke, Virginia
July 1, 1996
96-22
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Acceptance of 1996-97 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Entitlement and Appropriation of Funds for CDBG Activities
I. Background:
City Council authorized filing a CDBG application through the submission of the
Consolidated Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
for FY 1996-97 on May 13, 1996 by by Resolution No. 32939-051396.
HUD approval of the City's FY 1996-97 CDBG application is forthcoming.
The letter of approval is pending the routine Congressional release process.
II. Current Situation:
A. Grant approval is for $2.162.000 the amount requested by the City.
Appropriation request includes $237.000 in expected CDBG program income
from parking receipts, Housing Authority rehabilitation loan repayments, Cooper
Industries land lease, miscellaneous loan repayments and repayments from the
Home Ownership Assistance program. (See Attachment A)
CDBG Entitlement
Estimated Program Income
Total Appropriation
$2,162,000
$ 237.000
$2,399,000
Additionally $459.603 needs to be transferred between accounts in the prior two
years of CDBG entitlement as detailed in the FY 1996-97 CDBG program. (See
Attachment B)
Members of Council

Administrative
IV. Alternatives:
Adopt a resolution accepting the FY 1996-97 CDB~ fimds when the letter
of approval is received from HUD, and authorize the City Manager to
execute the requisite Grant Agreement, (to be approved as to form by the
City Attorney), Funding Approval, and any other forms required by HUD
on behalf of the City in order to accept such funds; and
Appropriate $2.399.000 to revenue and expenditure accounts in the Grant
Fund to be established by the Director of Finance ($2.162.000 CDBG FY
96-97 entitlement and $237.000 in projected program income) as detailed
in Attachment A; and
Transfer $459.603 between accounts in the prior two years of CDBG
entitlements as detailed in Attachment B.
Impact on community development in the Ci_ty would be positive,
continuing programs which Council has endorsed in the past, and
funding new initiatives to address citizens' concerns.
Funding would be available from the sources as listed in Part II, B
and C.
Timine is important. The funds are needed to implement
programs, on or as soon as possible after July 1, 1996.
Members of Council

Administrative capabili _ty will be positively affected.
Appropriating funds will allow tracking for reporting purposes and
prevent disallowed costs.
Do not adopt a resolution accepting the FY 1996-97 CDBG fullds
when the letter of approval is received from HUD, and authorize the City
Manager to execute the requisite Grant Agreement, (to be approved as to
form by the City Attorney), Funding Approval, and any other forms
required by HUD on behalf of the City in order to accept such funds; and
Do not appropriate $2.399,000 to revenue and expenditure accounts in the
Grant Fund to be established by the Director of Finance ($2.162.000
CDBG entitlement and $237.000 projected program income) as detailed
in Attachment A; and
3. Do not transfer $459.603 between accounts as detailed in Attachment B.
Imvact on communi _ty development in the City could be negative if
programs are delayed or cancelled.
b. Funding would not be an issue.
Timing could be a problem as construction projects or acquisition
could be delayed, and staff salaries may be affected if City Council
does not accept the new entitlement on July 1, 1996.
d. Administrative capability would not be an issue.
Recommendation:
A. 1. It is recommended that City Council concur in Altemative A and adopt a

resolution accepting the FY 1996-97 CDBG funds when the letter of
approval is received from HUD, and authorize the City Manager to
execute the requisite Grant Agreement,(to be approved as to form by the
City Attorney), Funding Approval, and any other forms required by HUD
on behalf of the City in order to accept such funds; and
Appropriate $2.399.000 to revenue and expenditure accounts in the Grant
Fund to be established by the Director of Finance ($2.2162.000 CDBG
entitlement and $237.000 projected program income) as detailed in
Attachment A; and
Transfer $459.603 between accounts in the prior two years of CDBG
entitlements as detailed in Attachment B.

Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor

Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Feasibility Study for Alternate Means of Transportation from Downtown to
Mill Mountain
Part 1V of the Mayor's 1995 State of the City Report suggested that the
concept of providing some alternative transportation access to connect the
top of Mill Mountain to the market area be researched as a tourism
initiative.
II.
City Council referred the matter to the City Manager on July 24, 1995, for
an appropriate response.
CURRENT SITUATION:
~ was contacted for the purpose of developing a cost
estimate for professional services to study the feasibility of the proposal.
Hill ~ offered for consideration a three-phase approach that
would take into consideration planning, market research and transportation
engineering. Refer to attached letter dated May 3, 1996.
III. PROJECT PHASES. ESTIMATES AND SCHEDULEE:
Preliminary_ Feasibility would provide an essential "go" or "no-go"
evaluation of the concept by investigating similar transportation systems at
other sites and by appraising the affected local attractions. Cost for Phase 1
is $15,000.00 and schedule time is two (2) months.
Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Feasibility Study/Transportation Downtown to Mill Mountain
July 1, 1996 Council Report No. 96-148
Page 2
IV.
Transport and Market Study would seek broad public participation in this
phase. Conceptual design alternatives and initial cost estimates for the
alternatives would be prepared. Possibilities for public/private partnerships
would be analyzed. Cost for Phase 2 is $55.000.00 and scheduled time is
four (4) months.
Pro-Forma Analysis and Master Plan would include an environmental
review of the project, offer funding alternatives, conduct necessary
presentations, and produce a final master plan document. Cost for Phase 3
is $20.000.00 and scheduled time is four (4) months.
Total Project inclusive of three phases, would cost approximately $90,000
and should take approximately ten (10) months to complete.
RECOMMENDATION is that City Council refer the Feasibility Study for
providing an alternate means of transportation from Downtown to Mill Mountain
be included in the long-range Capital Improvement Program for future funding
consideration.

RE: Feasibility Study for Alternate Mode of Transportation
Mill Mountain Park
Dear Mr. Vernon,
This letter is in response for your recent request for Inlormation on
studying the feasibility of an alternative mode of transportation that would
connect the City Market to the top of Mill Mountain. This mode of
transport may resemble the historic Incline railway up the mountain, but
does not necessarily need to duplicale it, since public Input may influence
both the mode of transportation, the routes and termini.
Over the last weeks, I have discussed this matter with two highly qualified
professionals, and they have helped me to assemble this Information.
Included in this collaboration are Patrick Phillips, an economist with
Economics Research Associates In Washington, DC, and Steve Chapln,
Director of Transportation Engineering at HSMM In Roanoke. I have
worked with Palrick on several projects, and his firm has specific
experience in determining feasibility of incline railways. I have also worked
with HSMM on several projects. I find the work of both firms highly
respected, and the personalities Involved are team players.
The feasibility of a project of this scope and magnitude may be best
divided into three primary disciplines, each with responsibilities in a Three-
phase feasibility report. The disciplines needed ale:
Planning: Administration of public Input process, programming,
environmental assessment, site design and architectural
schematics. In this case the Prime consultant and project
planner would be Hill Studio. - ·
Market
Reaearch:
Investigation of similar projects, pro-forma investigation.
structuring of project capitalization and operation, public
and private responslbilllies. In this case, ERA would be
proposed as the market research firm.
"n'ansportatlon
Engineering: Historic research, location analysis, alternative evaluation
of two systems with conceptual design and cost
estimaling, utilities planning. HSMM would be proposed
for this work.
We would suggest a three-phase study, which would provide for a prudent
investment of public money should the concept prove less than desirable
at critical points of the process. This process described below:
May 3, 1996
Page 2
PHASE I - PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY
+/- $15,000.00
+/- tWO montha
This first phase of the project provides the first essential test lor the
possibility .If the idea is out-ol-the-question, marginal, or possible, It will
provide information for the City to realize the range of expense and cost /
benefit, so the City can make an Informed decision whether to continue
before more substantial funds are spent.
Project Kick-off and Preliminary Inventory
Preliminary management investigation Into other municipalities'
similar systems
Look at Roanoke area, complementary regional attractions and
their attendance
Conduct preliminary feasibility analysis of the project's chances.
Provide assessment to the City for the need to carry through with
Feasibility Study
Presentation of findings to small committee
PHASE 2 - TRANSPORT AND MARKET STUDY
+/- $55,000.00
+/- four months
Based on preliminary findings, the second phase of the project provides
background research and substantial market, transport, and
management information, as well as public Input Into the project.
Conduct preliminary public meetings to gain pt~bllc Insights Into
project
Conduct historic research inlo past incline railway
Perlorm slle analysis and preliminary siting evaluation for
Infrastructural improvements
Perlorm conceptual design alternatives and cost estimates of
alternatives
Second public workshop series to narrow alternatives to preferred
concept
Conduct market analysis of the project based on similar projects
and public / private partnerships
Conduct public meeting to present project
Lynn ¥~rnon
May 3, 1996
Page 3
PHASE 3 - PRO-FORMA ANALYSTS AND MASTERPLAN +/- $20,000.00
· /- four months
Conduct Environmental Assessment, and preliminary Mill
Mountain Review Plan meeting (the 10 points)
Run project pro-forma analysis
Recommend any funding source alternatives
Final presentation to City Council
Make final recommendations on the project, and produce final
masterplan document
I hope this information is useful, and whet you need to help fulfill your
memo to Council. The three chapters of the report allow you a tangible
stopping point, and a chance to finish the project at critical levels before
Investment of funds.
If I can supply you with further Information, please call me. Thanks for this
opportunity to serve the City of Roanoke.

III.
Background on the subject in chronological order is:
Federal Act to provide Family Preservation Support services to strengthen family life has
allotted $50,272 to Roanoke Cit~ through the State Depafanent of Social Services. This
allotment is to be used from 7-1-96 through 9-30-96.
City has flexibilit~ in designing prevention support social services to identified at-risk
families.
Department of Social Services and the Roanoke City Schools in conjunction with the
Juvenile Courts have cooperatively developed a truancy prevention project to provide
services to families whose children have excessive absences fi-om school.
Current Situation is:
Department of Social Services would like to use these family preservation funds to
strengthen the Truancy Prevention Project.
Roanoke City Schools can provide these services through contractual agreement as sole
source provider.
108 children in K through 1st grade in Hurt Park and Fallon Park schools would be the
targeted population to receive family assessment and case management services.
D. Funds must be appropriated in order for program to operate during July and August, 1996.
Issues in order of importance are:
A. Services to eligible families with children.
B. Funding.
IV. .Altemative~ in order of feasibility are:

FROM: James D. Grisso, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: May Financial Report
This financial report covers the eleven month period July through May of the 1995-96 fiscal year. The
following narrative discusses revenue and expenditure trends to date.
REVENUE
Total General Fund revenues reflect an increase of 5.90% or $7,560,000, on a year to date basis, compared
to FY95. Variances in specific categories of revenue are as follows:
General Property Taxes have increased $1,717,000 or 2.95%. Real estate taxes have grown by $911,000,
or 2.5%, due to increased levies, but they are likely to fall short of the targeted budget for the year.
Personal property taxes have increased by $519,000, or 2.9%, due to an increase in the volume &vehicle
sales, combined with the fact that vehicles have retained their values well in 1996 despite aging one year.
Public service corporation taxes and penalties and interest have also increased by approximately $151,000
and $135,000, respectively.
Other Local Taxes have increased 7.02% or $2,762,000. Numerous local taxes have had sizable increases
in contributing to this growth. Business, professional, and occupational license taxes have increased
$681,000 or 8.1% due to growth in the gross receipts of local businesses and the increased auditing of tax
returns. Sales tax has increased approximately $485,000 or 3.4%. Transient room taxes have increased
by 29%, providing $255,000 of additional revenue. Gas and electric utility taxes have increased $540,000,
and bank stock taxes are $268,000 higher than last year. Emergancy-911 tax rates were increased to fund
an expanded program, adding approximately $217,000 in revenues, and prepared food and beverage taxes
have increased $239,000.
Permits, Fees and Licenses are down 10.58% or $71,000. A decrease in housing starts has resulted in
lower fees for heating, electrical, plumbing and building inspections. Bingo audit fees are lower in the
current year because there is one less bingo operator subject to the audit requirement.
Grants-in-Aid Commonwealth have increased $3,003,000 or 12.57%. Much of this is caused by the early
receipt in 1996 &funding for April social services. Last year, this was received in June, but this year it was
received on May 31. Public facilities sales taxes from the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, a new

revenue source in FY96, have generated approximately $215,000 in revenues. Street Maintenance funding
is up, as budgeted, adding approximately $370,000 to this category. The Jail expansion has meant increased
funding fi.om the State, adding over $1.0 million, and CSA revenues have also increased, as expected, due
to the corresponding expenditure increase noted in the Health and Welfare category.
Grants-in-Aid Federal Government have decreased $240,000 or 88.82%. A $245,000 payment fi.om
FEMA for the 1994 Ice Storm was received in December 1994, while a $14,000 reimbursement was
received in February 1996 for flooding last summer.
Charges for Services have increased $479,000 or 21.52%. Increased Emergency Medical Service (EMS)
rates to help fund program enhancements have added approximately $350,000 to this category. Sheriffs
Court fees are up nearly $30,000 due to a change in fees implemented at the State level and timing
differences in submitting the fees to the State. Circuit Court fees have risen $33,000, and Central Services
charges to Enterprise Funds are up $68,000, as budgeted.
Internal Services have decreased 8.60% or $121,000. Billings by Engineering and Street Maintenance to
the Water and Sewage Treatment Funds were higher in FY95 due to the expansions at Carvins Cove and
the Sewage Treatment Plant. Building and Grounds Maintenance billings have also declined. Billings to
the Roanoke Regional Airport for Fire Services are higher in the current year because the May 1995 billing
was made in June of last year.
EXPENDITURES AND ENCUMBRANCES
Expenditures and encumbrances in the General Fund have increased 8.50% or $10,803,000 since FY95.
Variances in individual expenditure categories are discussed below:
General Government expenditures have increased $552,000 or 6.25%. The City Treasurer has incurred
greater CIS charges due to the new business license system, and personnel costs are up. The Commissioner
of Revenue has also incurred greater CIS charges due to this system, and its Management Services charges
have risen. Supply Management has incurred additional CIS charges due to the testing and development
of the Decentralized Purchasing System that will be implemented City wide beginning in August, and it has
pumhased new personal computers for its department. Risk Management has seen an increase in insurance
premiums and in self-insured auto claims, and personnel services costs have risen. Personnel Management
has incurred higher costs for personal services and for employee programs. The Director of Public Safety
has seen a reduction in expenditures compared to FY95 when it incurred higher contractual costs while
conducting a search for the Fire/EMS chief. The Office of Billings and Collections has also seen a reduction
in departmental costs in FY96 due to lower CIS charges than last year when the City-wide Billing system
was new.

Public Safety expenditures have increased 11.09% or $3,216,000. Personal services expenditures at the
Jail have increased $1,134,000 or 30% due to the 51 new employees added by its recent expansion. Fees
for professional services are up approximately $400,000 due to the privatization of Jail medical services,
and reimbursements are $261,000 lower through May of the current year, causing an increase in the
department's total expenditures. Police and Fire expenditures have increased $428,000 and $651,000,
respectively, primarily due to increased personal services costs in these labor-intensive departments. EMS
has experienced higher personnel costs due to new positions and the transfer of an existing position into
the department. Expenditures in the Juvenile Detention Home have risen $86,000 due to increased personal
services and food costs and lower reimbursements from the state and other localities through May of the
current year.
Public Works expenditures have risen $1,746,000 or 9.12% in FY96. Snow removal costs increased
$273,000 during the severe winter of 1996. Street Paving expenditures have increased $161,000.
Engineering expenditures have grown due to the costs of real estate acquisition, a new activity in FY96,
and due to the 30% budgeted increase in bridge inspections. Computer equipment has been purchased, and
personal services costs are up. Building Maintenance has incurred increased maintenance costs due to
carpet replacement at various offices in the Municipal Building, Commonwealth Building, and Bankruptcy
Court. Painfmg and remodeling of the greenhouse at Mountain View has cost over $70,000, and a new air
conditioning unit for Municipal South has cost the department $113,000. The Parks Maintenance
department has incurred increased expenditures in the form of personal services and maintenance costs.
Fencing costs of approximately $50,000 have been incurred at Highland Park and other City parks. The
department has also incurred higher expenditures for the purchase of new playground units, trash
receptacles, and for general park maintenance.
Health and Welfare expenditures have increased 11.35% or $1,758,000. Social Services expenditures
have risen as a result of increased foster care and daycare costs. Personal services costs have also risen in
the department, as they have in the Employment Services and Income Maintenance departments.
Comprehensive Services Act expenditures have risen $1,203,000, or 31%, due to increased children in the
program and more children in FY96 receiving care at very expensive facilities due to the high level of
supervised care they require. Citizens Services Committee expenditures have risen $114,000, as expected
based on the FY96 budgeted increase.
Nondepartmental expenditures have increased $1,407,000 or 32.95%. This is caused by an increase in
transfers to other funds offset by a decrease in funding for the Pension Plan. The largest single increase in
transfers to other funds is an increase of $950,000 to the City Information Systems fund for technology
related equipment purchases. Transfers to the Civic Center, Fleet Management, Transportation and Grant
Funds have also increased. The Pension Plan transfer was $350,000 last year compared to $195,000 this
year.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
BID COMMITTEE REPORT
BIOLOGICAL AERATED FILTER (BAF) TREATMENT SYSTEM
WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT
EXPANSION AND UPGRADE PROJECT
Back_qround on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
The City's Consultinq Engineer, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., advised the Citv that
although there were two potential suppliers that had similar BAF Treatment
Systems, the systems were not compatible. In order to avoid having to provide
two sets of plans and drawings for the upgrade for the project, a selection of
the key provider had to be made for the plans to be finalized so that Malcolm
Pirnie could put out the bids to the general contractors. In light of that
requirement, the City determined that it would advertise bids for a BAF
Treatment System that could then be assigned to the general contractor for the
job after the key supplier had been selected.
Bids were reiected by Council on May 6, 1996.
After proper advertisement, bids were received for the second time on June 4,
1996, by D. Darwin Roupe, Manager, Office of Supply Management, for the
BAF Treatment System for the expansion and upgrade at the Water Pollution
Control Plant.
IF.
Current situation is as follows:
The following bids were received from the two bidders, Infilco Degremont, Inc.,
and Krue.qer, Inc.: '
Bidder/System
InfiJco Degremont, Inc. - Single Stage System
Infilco Degremont, Inc. - Two Stage System
Krueger, Inc. - Single Stage System
Krueger, Inc. - Two Stage System
Total Bid for Evaluations

Total Base Bid
98,612,380
5,204,462
4,O86,93O
11,122,753
Both firms had exceptions to their bid,-, that were significant to the plant
operation in the opinion of the City's consulting engineer.
After a meeting between City representativec, it is recommended that the City
reject all bids for the second time and that the procurement documents be
modified to clarify the specified requirements and that the project be
readvertised for bids.

Issues in order of importance are as follows:
B.
C.
D.
Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the contract document~
Amount of the bid
Fundin.q
Time
IV.
Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
Accept the recommendation of the City's Consult nR En.q neer and Citv
representatives to reject all bids, modify the procurement documents to furthe,
clarify the specified requirements, and readvertise the proiect for bid;;.
Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the contracl
documents would no longer be an issue.
Amount of the bids could be different when new bids are received.
Fundin.q of the expansion of the Water Pollution Control Plant will be in
accordance with the November 1, 1994, agreement as signed by the
participating parties.
Time of the award of the BAF contract agreement would be delayed
approximately four (4) weeks for readvertisement, which is acceptable.
The production of shop drawings for this portion of the work, to permit
our consultant to use the shop drawings to complete the contract
documents for bidding by general contractors since the BAF system is
part of the plant expansion, needs to be completed as soon as possible.
Award a lump sum contract to Krueger, Inc., for the base bid amount of
$4,086,930for the Krueger Single Stage System.
Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the contrac[
documents would be argued as being questionable. The exceptions
taken by Krueger, Inc. were significant as to the plant operation.
Amount of the bid by Krueger, Inc. is within the budget for this project.

Fundinq would be encumbered in accordance with the November 1,
1994 agreement.
.Time of completion would not be delayed.
.Recommendation is as follows:
City Council concur in "Alternative A" and take the following actions:
A. .Authorize the City Mana,qer to reject all bid~, The reason for rejection is the
unique nature of the BAF system technology and to allow the procurement
document specifications to be modified to further clarify the specified
requirements for the system so that all potential bidders would have the
opportunity to bid on the system requirements.
].nstruct Malcolm-Pirnie to revise the contract document:; and readvertise the
project as soon as possible.
Specify the maximum Ioadin,q per square foot permitted on the BAF
system.
~ermit a reasonable variation in the size of the BAF system footprint at
the site.
~larify the exceptions taken by both bidders in the last bid submittal,
Readvertise the project as soon as possible after this report has been
approved.

Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
A. Committee recommends that City Council authorize the acquisition of all

rights will be permanent utility easements across properties identified in
Attachment A.
1. Need for property rights acquisition has been established by the design
of the waterline project for Snead Road and Ray Road.
2. Timin.q of property rights acquisition is critical to avoid delay of project
schedules.
3. Estimated cost to acquire the necessary property rights is ~ 1,000.
4. Funding is available in the Water Fund Prior Year Retained Earnings
account.
B. Committee does not recommend that City Council authorize the acquisition of
property rights.
Need for property rights acquisition established by the design of the
waterline project for Snead Road and Ray Road would not be met.
Timin.q would cause delay of project if property rights are not acquired.
Estimated cost is not an issue.
Funding is not an issue.
Committee's recommendation is City Council concur in Alternative "A" above and take

Distribution System, or any applicable part thereof, as directed by
the City or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction.
SECTION 5. USE OF STREETS.
(a) General control. Grantee, in any opening it shall make
in the Streets of the City, shall be subject to the provisions of
this Ordinance and to all applicable ordinances, codes and
regulations of the City. The Gas Distribution System of the
Grantee shall be located so as not to interfere with the public
safety or with the convenience of persons using the Streets.
(b) ~ight of designation. The City reserves the right by
resolution of the City Council or otherwise through proper
representatives of the City to specifically designate the location
of the Gas Distribution System of Grantee with reference to
municipal facilities, such as sewer and water mains, drainage
facilities, fiber optic cable, signal poles and lines and similar
services, other facilities, such as public telephone utilities,
public electric utilities, public cable television utilities, and
railway communication and power lines, in such a manner as to
protect the public safety and public and private property and to
facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious
Community. Failure by the City to so designate does not relieve
Grantee of its responsibilities in matters of public safety as
provided in this Ordinance. Grantee shall construct, maintain and
locate its Gas Distribution System so as not to interfere with the
construction, location and maintenance of sewer, water, drainage,
electrical, signal and fiber optic facilities of the City. Any
designation of location required or authorized by this Ordinance
5
shall be accomplished by the City so as not to unnecessarily delay
the Grantee in any of its operations.
(c) Notice to City. Except in the cases of emergencies under
Subsection (d) of this Section, Grantee shall not move, alter,
change or extend any of its Gas Distribution System in any Street
unless prior written notice of its intention so to do is given to
the City Manager and permission in writing so to do is granted by
the City Manager or such requirement is waived by the City Manager.
Such permission shall be conditioned upon compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Ordinance, with such other terms and
conditions as will preserve, protect and promote the safety of the
public using the Streets, and as will prevent undue interference
with or obstruction of the use of the Streets by the public, the
City or by any other public utility or public service corporation
for their respective purposes and functions, and shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(d) Written permits. The City Council may require that
written permits, in any and all cases, be obtained by Grantee
whenever it becomes necessary for Grantee to excavate in the
Streets in order to install, construct, maintain or extend the Gas
Distribution System. Such permits, if required, may be made
applicable to any and all types of excavations in the Streets, as
prescribed by City Council, and City Council may, by resolution,
establish a fee for each excavation made in a Street by a public
utility. Such permits may state the particular part or point of
the Streets where construction or excavation is to be conducted,
the length of time in which such permit shall authorize such Work
to be done and the hours of each day during which such Work shall
6
be undertaken. A single permit may be issued for multiple
excavations to be made in Streets; provided, however, any Street
opening fee established by City Council shall apply to each
excavation made in Streets of the City. Exceptions to the
requirement for a written permit shall be allowed in cases of
emergencies involving public safety or restoration of service. In
the case of emergency excavations made in the Streets without
permit, Grantee shall make a report of each such excavation to the
City within two (2) working days and pay such fee as may be
established by City Council for excavations in Streets by public
utilities. Any permit applications and inspections related to
repair of excavations shall be promptly acted upon by the City so
as not to unnecessarily delay the Grantee in efficiently
discharging its public service obligation. Any fees for permits or
inspections charged by the City shall be based on the City's actual
costs of administering the program of issuing permits and
conducting inspections.
(e) Restoration of Streets. Immediately after installation,
repair or extension of the Gas Distribution System or any portion
thereof or any pavement cut by Grantee in any Street of the City,
the incidental trenches or excavations shall be refilled by Grantee
in a manner reasonably acceptable to the City Manager. Pavement,
sidewalks, curbs, gutters or any other portions of Streets damaged,
disturbed or destroyed by such work shall be promptly restored and
replaced with like materials to their former condition by Grantee
at its own expense; however, where it is necessary, and if
authorized by the City, in order to achieve the former conditions,
Grantee shall use materials whose type, specification and
7
quantities exceed or are different from those used in the
installation, and Grantee at its own expense shall provide such
different materials. Where a cut or disturbance is made in a
section of sidewalk paving, rather than replacing only the area
actually cut, Grantee shall replace the full width of the existing
sidewalk and the full length of the section or sections cut, a
section being defined as that area marked by expansion joints or
scoring. Grantee shall maintain, repair and keep in good condition
for a period of one (1) year following such disturbance all
portions of Streets disturbed by Grantee,
and repair shall be necessary because of
materials supplied by Grantee.
(f) Removal of obstructions and
provided such maintenance
defective workmanship or
defects. Grantee shall
promptly remove or correct any obstruction or defect in any Street
which may have been caused by Grantee in the installation,
operation, maintenance or extension of Grantee's Gas Distribution
System. Any such obstruction or defect which is not promptly
removed, repaired or corrected by Grantee after proper notice so to
do, given by the City to Grantee, may be removed or corrected by
the City, and the cost thereof shall be charged against Grantee and
may be enforced as a lien upon any of Grantee's properties or
assets. Any expense of damage, relocation or replacement to City
water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, storm drainage or communication
facilities resulting from construction or maintenance of Grantee's
Gas Distribution System shall be borne by Grantee and any expense
incurred in connection therewith by the City shall be reimbursed by
the Grantee.
8
(g) Minimum inconvenience; protection of public. Grantee
shall not open, disturb or obstruct, at any one time, any more of
the Streets, than reasonably may be necessary to enable it to
proceed with advantage in laying or repairing its Gas Distribution
System. Neither shall Grantee permit any Street so opened,
disturbed or obstructed by it in the installation, construction,
repair or extension of its Gas Distribution System to remain open
or the public way disturbed or obstructed
time than reasonably shall be necessary.
Street shall be excavated, disturbed or
for a longer period of
In all cases where any
obstructed by Grantee,
Grantee shall take all precautions necessary or proper for the
protection of the public and shall maintain adequate warning signs,
barricades, signals and other devices necessary or proper to
adequately give notice, protection and warning to the public of the
existence of all actual conditions present.
(h) Relocation of City facilities. Whenever the City shall
widen, reconstruct, realign, pave or repave any Street, or shall
change the grade or line of any Street, or shall construct or
reconstruct any water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, drainage or
communications facility of the City, it shall be the duty of
Grantee to move, alter or relocate its Gas Distribution System or
any part thereof as requested by the City at Grantee's cost and
expense. Upon written notice by the City Manager of the City's
intention to perform work as specified above, Grantee shall within
a reasonable period of time accomplish its obligation in accordance
with and to conform to the plans of the City for such construction,
reconstruction or improvements. Should the Grantee fail, refuse or
neglect to comply with such notice, the Gas Distribution System or
9
any part thereof may be removed, altered or relocated by the City,
the cost of which shall be paid by Grantee, and the City shall not
be liable to Grantee for any damages resulting from such removal,
alteration or relocation. In cases where Grantee believes the
costs of relocation by Grantee would be cost prohibitive and an
alternative location of the City's facilities would be feasible,
the City and Grantee shall jointly evaluate whether Grantee could
reasonably pay any additional costs to the City of the alternative
City facility location in lieu of relocating Grantee's facilities.
Grantee shall not be required by the City to relocate its Gas
Distribution System when any Street in which such System is located
is vacated, closed or abandoned by the City for the convenience of
abutting property owners and not as an incident to a public
improvement. The City shall give Grantee notice in writing of such
proposed abandonments or Street closings to allow Grantee to
protect its access interests.
SECTION 6. SERVICE STANDARDS.
The rights and privileges granted and conferred upon the
Grantee are granted upon the express condition and understanding
that Grantee will render to the public and the City of Roanoke at
all times during the term of this Franchise adequate and efficient
gas service at reasonable rates and that it will maintain its
properties, works, structures, facilities and the Gas Distribution
System located within the City in good order throughout the term of

other happening beyond the control of Grantee, Grantee shall use
every reasonable effort and shall exercise prompt diligence to
restore such service with as little interruption as reasonably
possible and, in all events, within a reasonable time, but any such
interruption or failure of service caused by any of the aforesaid
reasons shall not, of itself, constitute a breach of this
Franchise.
SECTION 9. COMPLIANCE REQUIRED.

Ordinance, the Franchise and existing laws, such additional
ordinances and regulations as are necessary for the lawful exercise
of its police power, for the benefit and safety of the public.

Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Bid Committee Report - Gas Franchise

citizens of the City of Roanoke was publicly advertised
once each week for four (4) consecutive weeks.
Proposed ordinance to award said franchise has been on
file in the office of the City Clerk and available for
inspection during the term of advertisement.
Bids were received by Council on June 17, 1996 and
referred to the undersigned Bid Committee to evaluate
and make a recommendation to Roanoke City Council.
One bid, being the bid of Roanoke Gas Company
(Grantee), was received. That bid was for a term of 20
years, commencing as of January 1, 1996 and extending
through December 31, 2015, at a franchise fee
calculated as follows:
Grantee will pay to Grantor (City) a Franchise Fee
which shall be calculated pursuant to the
following. It is understood that Grantee has or
will enter into Franchise agreements with the City
of Salem ("Salem") and the Town of Vinton
("Vinton") (Grantor, Salem, and Vinton being
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as
the "localities") with fee provisions identical to
this one, and that the total annual Franchise Fee
to be paid to the three localities in aggregate is
$56,000 for calendar year 1996 ("base year total
annual Franchise Fee"). Grantor's Franchise Fee
shall be a percentage share of the base year total
annual Franchise Fee, which shall be determined on
a pro rata basis according to its percentage share

Page 2
Franchise, each locality's percentage share shall
be determined by the following formula:
For calendar year 1996, the Franchise Fee shall be
paid to Grantor on or before March 31, 1997.
For each succeeding calendar year during the term
of this Franchise, the total annual Franchise Fee
paid by the Grantee to the localities shall be the
base year total annual Franchise Fee increased by
three (3) percent compounded annually over the
term of the Franchise. For each calendar year
during the term of this Franchise, Grantor's
percentage share shall be determined pursuant to
this Section, and paid to Grantor on or before
March 31 of the succeeding calendar year.
Roanoke City share of the franchise fee will initially
be approximately $40,000 annually.
II.
Recommendation: The Bid Committee finds the bid of Roanoke
Gas Company to be the highest and best bid and recommends
that such bid be accepted.

City property in the Carvins Cove watershed has been
properly advertised.
Bids were received by Council on June 17, 1996 and

Roanoke City Planning Commission

Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of City Council:
Subject:
Request from Eutaw L. Bowling that a tract of land lying at 2315 Patterson
Avenue, S. W. and designated as Official City Tax Map Numbers 1311601
and 1312318 be rezoned from HM, Heavy Manufacturing to LM, Light
Manufacturing District.
I. Background:
Pumose of rezoning request is to ;>lace a nresentlv non-conformin~ use and a
pronosed future use of the ~ropertv in an appronriate zoning classification
Subject pronerty is presently zoned HM and is used as an office, service and
warehoose for a local HVAC contractor and distributor. This use is permitted in an
LM district; however, at one time, it was permitted in both the LM and HM district.
Prior to 1987, the HM district permitted all LM u~es as well as more intensive
industrial uses. When the zoning ordinance was rewritten in 1987, the industrial
categories were modified and uses were limited to protect valuable industrial land.
City zoning district maps for LM and HM areas were not modified to reflect existing
and desired future land use.
Subject property is currently for lease or sale. Hertz Ea_uipment Rental has a contract
to lease the nroperty for a heavy equipment leasing and sales business. This use is
permitted in an LM district by Special Exception permit by the Board of Zoning
Appeals.
Planning Commission nubic hearing was held on June 5, 1996. There was discussion
of the existing uses in the area and the appropriateness of Light Manufacturing
zoning for the property and others in the area. Mr. John Plunkett, representing
Roanoke Distributing Company at 2401 Patterson Avenue, S. W., addressed the
Commission and asked how the zoning change would affect their property and
business. There was no opposition to the rezoning request.

II. Issue~:
A. Zonin~ of the provertie$ is HM Surrounding zoning is also HM.
Land use of the properties is presently Ik, ht industrial for warehousing, service and an
office. Surrounding uses include construction contractors' offices, beverage
distributor, sign company, car repair and some residential. With the exception of
small lot car repair, ail of these are provided for in the LM district.
Industrial land alon~ Patterson Avenue is tareeted as an Urban Enterprise Zone.
Redevelopment and investment for quality industry is desired.
D. There is no established neighborhood organization for this area.
E. Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
In.dustrial ~owth and development should be encouraged through public and
private actions to ensure a strong and diversified economic ba~e and
employment opportunities for all of Roanoke's citizens.
Development of new or existing industrial areas should be carefully planned
and designed to t>romote quality development and good land use.
III. Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the rezoning request.
Z nin b c m LM. Zoning is consistent with existing land use and other
uses in the area.
Land use continues to be a light manufacturing use. even if changed in the
future for construction equipment leasing and sales.
3. Industrial land is promoted for light manufacturing uses.
4. Neighborhood not affected
Comprehensive Plan is followed. Industrial growth encouraged; quality
development promoted.
B. City Council deny the rezoning request.
1. Zonin rem ins HM.
Members of City Council
Page 3
Land use remains non-conforming New uses of building are restricted to
those permitted in HM district. Existing use can continue unless discontinued
for two years. Changes in each use could be requested from the Board of
Zoning Appeals.
3. Industrial land is nromoted for heavy industry.
4. Neighborhood not affected.
Comprehensive Plan could be followed. Area would be targeted only for
Heavy Manufacturing uses.
The Pl.anning Commission recommends that City Council approve the rezoning rearmost. By
a unammous vote of the Commission, with all seven members of the Commission being
present, the Commission approved the request for rezonlng to Light Manufacturing. The
subject properties, as well as surrounding properties, are primarily light manufacturing uses.
A change in zoning to LM will benefit the industrial value of the properties and enhance
development within the area. Additional zoning changes for this area will be considered in
the future.

ATTEST:

Roanoke City planning Commission
June 17,1996
The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
SUBJECT:
Request from Daniel F. Layman, Jr., Attorney, representing CBL &
Associates Limited, requesting that a tract of land located on the north
side of Bennington Street and Rutrough Road, S. E., containing 8.82
acres, described as Official Tax Number 4250202 be rezoned from
CN, Neighborhood Commercial District to C-2, General Commercial
District, and that the current conditions on the property be removed.
I. Backc~round:
Property was rezoned from LM, Liqht Manufacturin,q to CN, Nei,qhborhood
Commercial District in 1987 for the purposes of developing a neighborhood
shopping center. Initially the rezoning request was for C-2. Issues discussed
at the three Planning Commission hearings on the matter included
development in the flood plain, traffic, use of industrial land for commercial
purposes, and relationshio to other CN zoning in the area. Two petitions
were later filed amending the request to CN zoning. The Planning
Commission voted to deny the request by a tie vote on' the basis of loss of
viable industrial land and the exaggeration of undesirable traffic conditions.
The request was unanimously approved by City Council after considerable
discussion of the pros and cons of the request and neighborhood support in
favor of the rezoning.
In July, 1987, the Board of Zonina Appeals approved a request for a variancP,
for a food store with a ground floor area of 28,000 square feet in size in lieu of
15,000 square feet permitted in the CN district.
Shoppinc~ Center construction was completed in 1989 Since that time, the
rental of tenant spaces has been an issue, especially with regard to
restaurants with primary take-out services. Out-parcels have not been
developed.
Room162 MunicipalBuilding 215ChurohAvenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia24011 (703)981-2344
Members of Council
Page 2
Puroose of the rezonina reauest is to facilitate the leasine of retail space in
the shopping center.
Current zoninq of the property is CN, NeiQhborhood Commercial, with th,:,
followin conditions:
"The property will be used only for a neighborhood shopping center
including a supermarket and retail shops."
"If construction of a neighborhood shopping center on the property has
not commenced within five (5) years from the date of adoption of the
ordinance rezoning the tract, the zoning classification of the entire tract
will revert to LM, Light Manufacturing District, or the equivalent
classification then in effect."
Petition to rezone property from CN, Neiqhborhood Commercial to C-2.
General Commercial District (with no conditions), was filed on 4~4/96.
Because traffic was an issue with the previous rezonin(3 re(3uest, a traffic.
stud was conducted by the petitioner's consultant, Hayes Seay Mattern &
Mattern, to evaluate the proposed zoning change and future land uses.
Planning Commission public hearing on the request was held on May 1, 1996.
After discussion of the leasing problems of the existing center, future
commercial uses and traffic improvements, the Commission voted to approve
the rezoning request by a unanimous vote of 5-0-1 (Mr. Butler absent and Mr.
Bradshaw abstaining). It was noted that signage for the center should be in
keeping with that of the CN district and that pedestrian access should be
accommodated to the extent possible during city plan review for any new
development on the outparcels. Signage in the C-2 district would be
approximately double the size of that of the CN district (for this property, 975
sf versus 420 sf).
III. Issues:
Existinq zoning of the property is conditional CN, Neighborhood Commercial
District. Zoning in the area is a mixture of Light and Heavy
Manufacturing(LM, HM), Neighborhood and Office Commercial (CN, C-1),
and Residential Multi-family (RM-1, RM-2). An adjacent shopping area on
Riverland Road had been identified as a Neighborhood Center in the 1987
Comprehensive Plan. This was a primary factor in the requesting CN zoning
in 1987.
Members of Council
Page 3
Land use of the property is a shopping center. Two out-parcels for future
development adjacent to Rutrough Road are vacant. Adjacent uses include a
convenience store, a medical clinic, city fire-training facility, and another
shopping center (with out parcel). Residential uses are located along the
perimeter of the area.
Transportation corridors are identified as needing improvements.
Modifications to the existing road system are included in the City's 1993
Thoroughfare Plan as a "medium priority", but are not included in the
VDOT's FY 1995-96 Six-Year Imorovement Program. Improvements are not
included in the Roanoke Valley Area Lonq-Ranae Transr~ortation Pla~
1995-2015 because of the medium priority rating (only those projects with a
high rating were able to be included in the 20-year plan). However, to meet
traffic improvement needs, the City has allocated $100.000 in the 1996-200n
Capital Improvement Plan for lane improvements to build storage capacities
and facilitate traffic movement. While the intersection at Mount Pleasant
Boulevard and Bennington Street currently meets the criteria for signalization,
it ranks number 16 (Iow) out of a list of 23 intersections city-wide.
Consequently, it is expected that the opportunity for funding a signal at the
intersection (approximately $75,000) is several years away.
property is located within the 100-year and 500-year flood plain. The existing
shopping center was constructed above the 100-year floodplain, however, in
1993, the flood elevations were adjusted approximately two feet. Any future
development would have to be elevated to at least two feet above the 100-
year flood elevation.
Economic vitality of existinq shopping center has been an issun because of
the restricted uses in the CN zone, especially with respect to restaurants with
take-out as a primary component of their operations. In addition, the
development of the out-parcels for a fast food restaurant with a drive-through
or a bank is desired by the Petitioners. CN zoning does not provide for fast
food restaurants; C-2 zoning permits them as a Special Exception use based
upon the meeting of standards set forth in the zoning code relative to
compatibility, demands on water and sewer, traffic generation and street
capacities, conformance with established zoning requirements and the
comprehensive plan. Financial institutions are provided for in both CN and C-
2.
Neiqhborhood orqanization for this area is the Garden City Civic Leaqu, ,.
They were supporters of the initial rezoning request.
G. Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
Members of Council
Page 4
Neiahborhood enhancement, preservation, improvement, and
development should be encouraqed through public, private and
voluntary action.
Development or reuse of small neiclhborhood shoPPing areas to serve
the needs of area residents should be encouraged through public
policy and private actions. Regulations should ensure that
neighborhood commercial uses are in keeping with the neighborhood's
character.
Development of new or existing commercial areas in the city should b9
carefully planned and designed to promote quality development and
good land use.
IV. Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the rezoning request.
1. Zoning becomes C-2, General Commercial District.
Land uses can be expanded to include fast-food restaurants and other
uses permitted in the C-2 zone,
Traffic study prepared by HSMM confirms that improvements are
desirable for the transportation system in the arear especially at the
intersection of Bennington Street and Mount Pleasant Boulevard where
there is an acceptable, but Iow level of service. The HSMM study
further indicates that even with a worst case traffic scenarin
(development of the out parcels for a fast food restaurant, a bank, and
full leasing of the existing shopping center), the projected increase in
traffic will not adversely affect the level of service at affected
intersections. The addition of auxiliary lanes and a traffic signal would
provide for better service levels.
500-year flood plain may be affected by development of the out...
parcels. The existing shopping center has been constructed above the
100-year flood elevation.
5. Economic vitality of the shoppinq center supported.
Neiqhborhood omanization has not commented on the rezoning
request.
Comprehensive Plan could be followed Enhancement of the existing
commercial development would be beneficial to the neighborhood.
Members of Council
Page 5
B. City Council deny the rezoning request.
,~QJ3JDg_[.~JDA~. Zoning is consistent with adjacent zoning across
Riverland Road.
Land use cannot include a fast-food restaurant. CN district provides
for many small retail, office and service uses (less than 5,000 sf),
including financial institutions and restaurants with no drive-through
window or take-out as a primary part of their operation.
Transportation corridor improvements are still desirable. Additional
leasing of the center or development of the out parcels would not
significantly affect traffic movements.
Flood plain is still an issue. Future development would have to be
located two feet above the base flood elevation.
5. Economic vitality of the existing shopping center may still be an issue.
6. Neighborhood not affected; zoning remains unchanged.
7. Comprehensive Plan could be followed.
V. Recommendation:
By a vote of 5-0-1 (Mr. Butler absent for vote and Mr. Bradshaw abstaining), the
Planning3 Commission recommends that City Council approve the rezoning request.
While CN zoning may be preferable in the area to maintain the scale of commercial
development in the neighborhood and the types of land uses, it appears that a
change to C-2 would assist the development and operation of the existing shopping
center, thereby maintaining its viability. Consequently, the Neighborhood
Commercial designation for this area may need further evaluation. The traffic study
completed by HSMM indicates that the proposed zoning change would not
significantly affect the levels of service at intersections. It would be desirable to
have transportation corridor improvements in place prior to expanded commercial
development, including a traffic signal; however, only auxiliary lane improvements
are currently in the City's Capital Improvement Program.
The issue of the amount of commercial signage is still being discussed with the
petitioner.

IN RE: )
)
Rezoning of a tract of land lying)
on the north side of Bennington
Street, S.E. at its intersection
with Mount Pleasant Boulevard,
S.E. and Rutrough Road, S.E.,
from CN, Neighborhood Commercial
District to C-2, General
Commercial District
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of
of Roanoke
FIRST AMENDED PETITION
FOR REZONING
the Council of the City
(1) The petitioner, CBL & Associates Limited, is the owner
of a tract of land located in the City of Roanoke, Virginia, on
the north side of Bennington Street, S.E., and Rutrough Road,
S.E., containing 8.82 acres and designated on the Roanoke City
Appraisal Map as Official Tax No. 4250202. The tract is
currently zoned CN, Neighborhood Commercial District. A copy of
Roanoke City Appraisal Map Sheet 425 showing the property to be
rezoned is attached to this petition as Exhibit A.
(2) Pursuant to Article VII of Chapter 36.1 of the Code of
the City of Roanoke, the petitioner requests that the said
property be rezoned from CN, Neighborhood Commercial District, to
C-2, General Commercial District, and that the conditions
currently applicable to the property be removed, to facilitate
the leasing by petitioner of retail space in the shopping center
currently constructed and operating on the property.
M#323094
(3) The petitioner believes that the rezoning of said
property will further the intent and purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Roanoke by
broadening the opportunities for development of an established
shopping center in an area which is now underserved by
substantial shopping facilities. This property was rezoned from
LM to CN in July 1987. Since that rezoning a shopping center has
been constructed and has operated with a Food Lion supermarket as
its anchor tenant and other retail shops. (A site plan of the
existing center is attached hereto as Exhibit C.) The
limitations imposed by the CN classification have, however,
restricted to such a degree the permitted retail uses that the
shopping center has never been fully leased and the outparcels
never developed. Opportunities for further leasing and
development have been lost by the owner due to these
restrictions. As a result, this commercial property remains
substantially underutilized, even though located in an area of
the City that needs more first class retail and service
opportunities for its residents.
(4) Zoning conditions currently applicable to the property
restrict its use to a "neighborhood shopping center" and provide
for revision of its zoning classification to LM if a shopping
center were not constructed there by July 1992. The latter
condition has been fulfilled by construction of the center, and
the former is inconsistent with the broadening of permitted uses
sought by this rezoning petition. Petitioner accordingly
M#323094
2
requests that these conditions be terminated effective with the
rezoning to C-2.
(5) The petitioner hereby proffers and agrees that if said
property is rezoned as requested, the rezoning will be subject to
the following condition by which the petitioner agrees to abide:
No outdoor advertising (i.e., the provision of outdoor signs,
displays, or display space on a lease or rental basis) will be
permitted on the property.
(6) Attached as Exhibit B are the names and addresses of
the owners of all property immediately adjacent to or across
adjoining streets from the property to be rezoned.
WHEREFORE, the petitioner requests that the above-described
tract be rezoned as requested, and the existing zoning conditions
terminated, in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Roanoke.

In Re: CBL & Associates Limited -- Beunington Plaza Shopping Center
Dear Evie:
We are submitting with this letter a Petition for Rezoning on behalf of CBL & Associates
Limited, seeking rezoning of Bennington Plaza Shopping Center from CN to C-2 and also seeking
termination of the zoning conditions currently applicable to this property.
Enclosed with this letter for your information are four (4) copies of a site plan for the
property as it currently exists (we can obtain more copies of the plan if necessary) and a letter
agreement between CBL and Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc. for a study projecting the effects
of the proposed rezoning on traffic conditions at the site. We attach the Hayes, Seay agreement so
that you may see what information is being developed. We anticipate that the study will be ready for
submission to the City within the next week.
Please let me know if staff has questions or needs additional information as this application is
considered. CBL is a highly reputable developer and will cooperate with the City to any reasonable
extent to help make this project more viable than it currently is.
Yours truly,

The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from JJ&T Partnership, Petitioner, for property on
Campbell Avenue, S.E., identified as Official Tax Number 4011103, and
from Randall Wayne Brown, Petitioner, for property located on Campbell
Avenue, S.E., identified as Official Tax Number 4011102, represented by
Alton B. Prillaman, Attorney, of Jolly, Place, Fralin & Prillaman, P. C., be
rezoned from LM, Light Manufacturing District, to C-3, Central Business
District, such rezoning subject to certain conditions proffered by JJ&T
Partnership for the parcel with Official Tax Number 4011103.
I. Current Situation is as follows:
~ of the parcel having Official Tax Number 4011103 was a
non-conforming convenience store with gas islands. The use has been
discontinued for less than two (2) years.
~ of the parcel with Official Tax Number 4011102 is as a leased
parking facility which also is a non-conforming use.
Pumoses ofrezoning request for the two tracts which comprise approximately
0.62 acres are as follows:
To place the property into a conforming zoning district classification
that would permit JJ&T Partnership, owner of the parcel with Official Tax
Number 4011103, to redevelop the property by building a new
convenience store on the site and to continue the sale of gasoline via the
use of the existing gasoline islands as a "grandfathered" use, with the
former convenience store to either be removed or used for storage
purposes only; and

Members of Council
Page 2
To place the leased parking facility on the parcel with Official Tax
Number 4011102 into a conforming zoning district classification.
ff approved, the rezoning would minimally expand the use of the parcel identified
as tax number 4011103 as a neighborhood convenience store with no expansion
of gasoline sales. According to petitioner, the use of the parcel identified as tax
number 4011102 would remain the same, a public parking facility.
Ori~nal petition to rezone was filed on March 7, 1996. The following conditions
were proffered by JJ&T Partnership for pared 4011103:
That the proposed development on Tax Map Number 4011103 will be in
substantial conformity with the concept site plan prepared by John P.
Cone, Jr., Architect, dated February 1996, a copy of which is attached to
this Petition as EXHIBIT C, subject to comprehensive site development
plan review by the City.
Upon completion and occupancy of the new proposed convenience store
on the property, the existing buildings will be limited to storage only.
E. First amended petition to rezone was filed on April 22, 1996.
F. Second amended petition was filed on April 30.
Planning, Commission public hearing was held on Wednesday, May 1, 1996.
Mr. Alton Prillaman, attorney, appeared on behalf&the petitioners. He stated
that tax parcel 4011103 had been used as a convenience store and service station
for 51 years. He said his client wished to construct a new convenience store on
the same site and to use the existing structure for storage related to the
convenience store. He said also that the existing gasoline islands/pumps would
remain in their current location.
In response to questions from the commissioners, Mr. Prillaman and petitioner
agreed to amend the wording &proffers to reflect that the existing convenience
store structure would either be removed or used for storage only; that the barrier
fence located at the top of the retaining wall would be a chain-link fence; that the
existing retaining wall would be not only painted but also maintained; and that the
proffered conditions would be met within 18 months &the effective date &the
rezoning or 90 days of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, whichever is
less.
Tamasin Roop, city planner, gave the staff report. She stated that the rezoning
would place two non-conforming uses into a district where they would be
Members of Council
Page 3
permitted. She also noted that the parcels are within the special flood hazard
area; therefore, a floodplain elevation certificate would be required prior to
development plan review and all development would be subject to the floodplain
development regulations set out in the city's zoning and building codes. Ms.
Roop explained that while the applicant was requesting a change in the
designation of industrially zoned land, staff felt the rezoning would be appropriate
because the parcels' rocky terrain and limited size make them less attractive for
industrial uses and because a mixture of light industrial and commercial uses
already exists along Campbell Avenue, S.E. Ms. Roop said that no comments
about the rezoning had been received by the planning department from the
neighborhood organization or any adjoining property owner. She reviewed the
comprehensive plan recommendations, stating that the staff recommended
approval of the rezoning request.
Third amended ne~iti0n was filed May 13, 1996. The following conditions were
proffered by JJ&T Partnership for parcel 4011103:
That the proposed development on Tax Map #4011103 will be in
substantial conformity with the site plan prepared by John P. Cone, Jr.,
Architect, dated February 1996, a copy of which is attached to this
Petition as EXHIBIT C, subject to comprehensive site development plan
review by the City.
Upon completion and occupancy of the new proposed convenience
store on the property, JJ&T proffers that the new building will be used
solely for a neighborhood convenience store, and that the existing
building, the former "Spur Station," will be removed or used for storage
only. The inside area to be used for storage will be attractively screened
with Venetian or other blinds, from public view.
JJ&T will paint and maintain the existing retaining wall a neutral or
earth tone color.
In lieu of the required 10 foot buffer, JJ&T will construct a barrier type
fence, made of chain link, along the entire length of the rear property line,
5 to 6 feet in height to buffer the property from the public, subject to the
approval of the zoning administrator.
The proffered conditions as set forth herein shall be met within 18 months
from the date of the effective date of the rezoning or 90 days from the date
of a certificate of occupancy for the new building, whichever is earlier.
Members of Council

No conditions were proffered for parcel 4011102 which is used currently
as a non-conforming public parking facility.
II. Issues are as follows:
Zoning of the subject property is LM, Light Manufacturing District. The
surrounding zoning pattern in the area is as follows: to the ngrth is HM, Heavy
Manufacturing; to the South is RM-2, Residential Multifamily District, Medium
Density District; to the west is C-3, Central Business District; and to the east is
LM, Light Manufacturing District.
Land uses surrounding the subject properties are as follows: to the north are the
Norfolk Southern shop and yards; to the S0~h are multifamily residences; to the
eg~t are some LM, Light Manufacturing, and some commercial uses; and to the
west is the Central Business District. Multifamily residential uses to the south are
elevated above and separated from the subject properties by a steep embankment
and wooded area.
Floodplain Develooment Regulations apply to these parcels as it has been
determined that a portion of the subject properties is located within a special flood
hazard area. Therefore, a floodplain elevation certificate would be required prior
to development plan review and all development would be subject to the
floodplain development regulations set forth in the zoning and building codes.
Access to the property is provided via Campbell Avenue, S.E. The City Traffic
Engineer has stated that traffic is not a concern since the proposed use is similar
to the former use and that most business generated would be from pass-by traffic.
Si~nage would remain the same as it is currently in terms of size and location,
the petitioner has stated. No conditions were proffered limiting signage.
Site improvement~ would include painting the retaining wall at the rear of the
property and screening from public view, via blinds or similar means, the interior
of the existing structure which would be used for storage only.
Landscaned buffer screen is required along the entire rear boundary of the
property that adjoins a residential district. In lieu of the landscaped butter screen,
JJ&T Partnership has proffered using a 5 to 6-foot-high, chain-link fence at the
top of the retaining wall as a safety measure.
Industrial land in the city has been identified as a valuable economic asset which
should be protected. The classification of these two parcels for commercial
purposes is considered appropriate for several reasons, including:
Members of Council
Page 5
III.
The area's rocky terrain which would require extensive and expensive
excavation in order to make these two parcels a viable industrial site;
The limited size of the parcels which restricts the permitted light industrial
uses which are feasible; and
The mixture of commercial and light industrial uses which already exist
along Campbell Avenue, S.E.
Neighborhood organization for this area is the Southeast Action Forum which was
initially notified of the petition to rezone by letter mailed March 26, 1996, and,
after the petition was continued to the May Planning Commission meeting, was
renotified by letter mailed April 12, 1996. Adjoining property owners were
similarly notified. To date, no comments have been received by the Department
of Planning and Community Development.
J. ~Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
The city support continued downtown development as a center for
office, government and supporting retail services; and
Development of new or existing commercial and industrial areas in the
city should be carefully planned and designed to promote quality
development and good land use.
Alternatives are as follows:
A. Planning Commission approv~ the rezoning request.
Zoning would become C-3, Central Business District, and the proposed
development of parcel number 411103 for a neighborhood convenience
store with grandfathered gasoline islands would be allowed to take place;
the use of parcel number 411102 would continue as a public parking lot.
Land uses. as cited above, would conform to the zoning classification.
Surrounding land uses would remain the same.
Floodplain Development Regulations would apply to any development
taking place in the 100-year floodplain, as determined by a floodplain
elevation certificate provided prior to comprehensive development plan
review.
Members of Council
Page 6

5.
6.
ACq:~O~ would not change.
Signage would remain as it is currently, acco{ding to petitioner's agent.
Site improvements would include painting the retaining wall and
screening the interior of the building used for storage.
7. Landscaped buffer ~creen is required but petitioner has proffered barrier
fence in lieu of screen for added safety due to the slope and height of the
retaining wall and embankment at the rear of the property identified as tax
number 4011103.
8. Industrial lgnd, although not preserved for industrial development,
would be appropriately redeveloped.
9. Neighborhood organization is the Southeast Action Forum. No comments
have been received from the organization or adjacent property owners.
10. Comprehensive Plan issues, as set forth, would be addressed.
City_ Council deny the rezoning request.
1. Zoning would remain LM, Light Manufacturing District, and future use of
the parcel identified as tax number 4011103 for its former purposes, as a
neighborhood convenience store with grandfathered gas sales, would not
be allowed. It would remain vacant, developed property. The parcel
identified as 4011102 would remain vacant, undeveloped property.
2. Land uses of subject properties would remain non-conforming.
Surrounding land uses would remain the same.
3. Floodplain Development Regulations would apply to any redevelopment
of subject properties.
4. Access would not be an issue.
5. Signage would not be an issue.
6. Site improvements would not be an issue.
7. Landscaped buffer screen would not be an issue.
Members of Council
Page 7
8. Industrial land would be protected; however, the desirability of these
parcels for light industrial uses would be an issue given parcel size, site
preparation costs and similar factors.
9. Neighborhood organization would not be an issue.
10. Comprehensive Plan issues could be addressed at a later time.
Recommendation is as follows:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 7-0, recommends approval of the requested
rezoning, finding that the proposed rezoning would minimally expand the former use of
parcel 4011103 and would place both non-conforming uses, the convenience store and
public parking lot, into a conforming zoning district.

Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Rezoning of the following parcels of land in the southwest quadrant of the
City, bounded generally by Jackson Avenue on the north, 12th Street on
the west, Salem Avenue on the south, 10th Street on the east: Official Tax
Nos. 1211402, 1211502, 1211503, 1211504, 1211504A, 1211505,

1110127, 1110128, 1110129, 1110130, and 1110131, currently zoned
LM, Light Manufacturing District, and Official Tax Nos. 1110801,
1110802, 1110803, 1110804, and 1110810, currently zoned RM-2,
Residential Multifamily, Medium Density District, to RM-1, Residential
Multifamily, Low Density District.
I. Background:
Ao
Pumose of the request is to promote the general welfare and good zoning practice
by: (1) making the existing use of the subject property consistent with the proper
zoning category; (2) encouraging additional residential development to locate in
a distressed area; and (3) ensuring that the subject property will be used in the
future in a manner that will not negatively impact adjoining residential properties.
Sub_iect area has been zoned LM, Light Manufacturing District, since the mid-
1960s. The City's comprehensive plan at that time did not believe that Roanoke
inner-city neighborhoods would remain viable for single family residential
development.
Under the current LM. Light Mannfaeturing District, residential property owners
have significant restrictions on their ability to improve or expand their
nonconforming structures. Several property owners in the subject area (Woodrow
Room162 MunicipaIBuilding 215ChurchAvenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia24011 (703)981-2344
Members of Council
Page 2
Hickman, 1010 Norfolk Avenue and Jerusalem Baptist Church, 1014 Norfolk
Avenue) initiated rezoning requests in 1996 and 1992, respectively, after learning
that they could not make needed improvements to their property under the
existing LM zoning requirements.
Neiehborhood or£ani?,fion, Hurt Park Neighborhood Alliance, has been notified
of the requested rezoning. Numerous complaints have been received over the past
ten years regarding the appearance of the area. Representatives from the
organization have expressed their support of the proposed rezoning and other
changes that will encourage the revitalization of the area. The Planning office
also received calls from several property owners expressing support for the
proposed rezoning.
Plannin£ Commission public hearin~ was held on May i, 1996. Mr. John
Marlles presented the request on behalf of the Commission.
Mr. Marlles stated that at~er Jerusalem Baptist Church requested a rezoning in 1992,
the Commission had instructed the Planning staff to study the general area for a
possible downzoning. He said that staff had done that and was prepared to go
forward with a recommendation that the area be rezoned to residential. Mr. Marlles
advised the Commission that Habitat for Humanity had purchased a number of
dilapidated structures in the area under consideration, and was in the process of
clearing them for a 24 lot single family residential development.
Mr. Marlles further stated that staff had done a detailed land use analysis of the area
and had also consulted with the City's Economic Development office. Mr. Marlles
stated that the Economic Development staff did not feel the area was valuable for
industrial development. He said that City records indicated there had been no
interest in developing the area for either commercial or industrial purposes.
Mr. Marlles stated that a neighborhood meeting had been held on April 22 to obtain
input from the affected property owners and residents. He said that approximately
30 property owners and residents attended the meeting.
Mr. Marlles again commented on the neighborhood meeting, noting that the majority
of those present were supportive of the rezoning request from LM to residential and
that most of the questions dealt with the Habitat for Humanity's requirements for
homeownership and the design of the proposed single family structures. Mr.
Marlles stated that Habitat had not developed a detailed design for their proposed
homes, but they would probably be similar to ones that were constructed on
Cleveland Avenue, S.W. He also noted that about 24 new single family homes were
proposed for the area.
Members of Council
Page 3
Mr. Marlles stated that staffwas recommending approval of the request. He said he
felt residential zoning was appropriate but noted there was a mix of commercial and
industrial uses in the area. He further noted that the other basis for the
recommendation was that there had been no interest in developing the area for
industrial use; that the predominant land use was residential; there was an active and
growing church in the area, as well as a City park.
Mr. Madles noted that the predominant land use in the study area was single family
although the zoning district was light manufacturing. He further stated that staffhad
intentionally excluded the existing commercial and industrial uses on Salem Avenue
from the proposed rezoning. Mr. Maflles said that the location of an active City
park, as well as a growing church, was another factor in recommending a residential
zoning category.
The following resident spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning request: Mr.
Bob Zimmerman, who did not give his address but indicated he owned property on
Saiem Avenue and 10th Street. The following spoke in support of the proposed
request: Mr. Woodrow Hickman, Jr., (1010 Norfolk Avenue, S.W.); Ms. Norma
Smith (11 -14th Street, S.W.); Ms. Amy Moore (Habitat for Humanity in Roanoke
Valley); Mr. Gary Galbreath (Principal, Hurt Park Elementary School); and Ms.
Mary Singleton (1015 Norfolk Avenue, S.W.).
III.
A complete set of the draft minutes is attached for Council's consideration.
Issues:
Zoning of the subject area is presently LM, Light Manufacturing District.
Zoning to the north across Jackson Avenue is HM, Heavy Manufacturing District;
to the south; and to the east, across 10th Street, is LM, Light Manufacturing
District; and to the west is RM-2 Residential Multifamily, Medium Density
District.
Land uses in the subject arm are predominantly single homes and duplexes. The
subject area also includes a City park and a church which has expanded in recent
years. Habitat for Humanity is currently acquiring properties in one portion of
the subject area with the intention of constructing approximately 24 new single
family homes.
C. Utilities are available and are adequate.
D. Traffic is not an issue.
Neighborhood or~ani~,atlon is the Hurt Park Neighborhood Alliance and the West
End Association. Representatives of both neighborhood organizations have
Members of Council
Page 4
expressed their support of the proposed rezoning and other efforts to help
revitalize the neighborhood.
A neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposed rezoning was held on April 22,
1996, at Jerusalem Baptist Church. Approximately 30 residents attended the
meeting. Mr. John Marlles explained the background of the request, discussed
the criteria considered by staff in making their recommendation and reviewed the
requirements of the existing LM, Light Manufacturing District, and the proposed
PM-I, Residential Multifamily District. The majority of residents expressed
support for the proposed rezoning. No one indicated they were opposed to the
rezoning. Mr. David Camper, President of Habitat for Humanity, discussed
Habitat's plans for a single family residential subdivision in the area. The
majority of questions from residents focused on how individuals qualify for
receiving a home from Habitat for Humanity and the design and quality of
construction of the proposed residential structures.
F. ~ recommends that:
the City facilitate development of "infill" or vacant lots in existing
neighborhoods; and
IV. Alternatives:
new housing development in existing residential areas be carefully
designed to relate well to the existing neighborhood character.
A. ~ the rezoning request.
Zoning becomes PM-l, Residential Multifamily. Existing nonconforming
residential homes become conforming and can be improved and expanded.
Land use remains a combination of residential, institutional (Jerusalem
Baptist Church), public (Perry Park) and vacant lots. Habitat for
Humanity plans to develop a 20 lot single family residential subdivision
would be permitted to proceed. Additional residential infill development
would be permitted to occur.
3. Utilities are available.
4. Traffic is not a problem.
' r~gkhl2Lh~LL~t would be positive. Owners of residential properties
would be permitted to make improvements and to expand their structures.
Additional residential development would be permitted to proceed.
Members of Council
Page 5
6. Comorehensive olan would be followed.
B. ~ the rezoning request.
Zoning remains LM, Light Manufacturing District. Existing residential
structures remain nonconforming. Residential property owners remain
unable to expand or make significant improvements to their properties.
~ remains unchanged. Residential properties will continue to
deteriorate. New residential development would not be permitted to
O(~cur.
3. Utilities would be unaffected.
4. Traffic would not be an issue.
5. ~ would continue to deteriorate.
IV.
6. Comorchensive plan could be followed at a later date.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 (Mr. Butler absent for vote) recommended
approval of the requested rezoning. The proposed rezoning will encourage revitalization
of the subject area by making the existing nonconforming residential uses conforming,
thus permitting their expansion and improvement and by facilitating additional infill
residential development to occur in the neighborhood. Finally, it is the Commission's
opinion that the land is not valuable for industrial purposes.

currently zoned RM-2, Residential Multifarnily, Medium Density District, to RM-1,
Residential Multifamily, Low Density District.
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF TH]E COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA:
Having moved to do so at its meeting on August 7, 199 I, pursuant to the requirements of Section
15.1-491, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, and Section 36.1-619, Code of the City of Roanoke
(1979), as amended, the Planning Commission of the City of Roanoke respectfully files this Petition
to Rezone and would state the following:
1. The Planning Commission has considered land uses, zoning and development trends in this
area of the City. The Planning Commission concludes that zoning of the subject properties
should be consistent with the existing land uses and that the present LM, Light
Manufacturing District, and RM-2, Residential Multifamily, Medium Density District,
zoning districts are not appropriate.
2. Pursuant to the provisions of Article VII of Chapter 36.1 of the Code of the City of Roanoke
(1979), as amended, the Planning Commission requests that the parcels of land bearing the
official tax numbers listed above, lying in the southwest quadrant of the City be rezoned
from LM, Light Manufacturing District, and RM-2, Residential Multifamily, Medium
Density District, to RM-1, Residential Multifamily, Low Density District. The owners of
these parcels of land are identified in Exhibit A attached hereto.
3. It is submitted that the rezoning of the subject tract will further the intent and the purpose
of the City's zoning regulations and its comprehensive plan and will further the general
welfare and good zoning practices by: (1) making the existing use of the subject property
consistent with the proper zoning category for that type use; (2) encouraging additional
residential development to locate in a distressed area; and (3) ensuring that the subject
property will be used in the future in a manner that will not negatively impact adjoining
residential properties.
4. As this rezoning entails more than 25 parcels of land, adjoining property owner notification
is not required as set out in Sec. 15.1-431, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended.
WHEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Roanoke requests the subject
property be rezoned to RM-1, Residential Multifamily, Low Density District, and that the City's
zoning maps be amended accordingly.

Mr. Marlles stated that was correct, however in this case, a neighborhood convenience store, not a
highway convenience store, was the allowed use in the C-3 district.
Mr. Bradshaw asked if the gas pumps were being grandfathered and the area was being rezoning
for a neighborhood convenience store.
Mr. Marlles stated that was correct.
Mr. Talevi stated that there was no grandfathering going on and that all that was being permitted was
the neighborhood convenience to be used. He said that City Council could not establish a
grandfathered use.
Mrs. Coles asked for questions from the audience.
There being none, Mr. Bradshaw moved to approve the request as amended. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hill and approved 7-0.
At this time (2:55 p.m.) a five minute recess was held.
The meeting reconvened at 3 p.m.
Rezoning of the following narcels of land in the southwest a_uadrant of the City. bounded
generally by Jackson Avenue on the north. 12th Street on the west. Salem Avenue on the.
south. 10th Street on the east: Official Tax Nos. 1211402. 1211502. 1211503. 121150d,

currently zoned RM-2. Residential Multifamily. Medium Density District. to RM-1,
Residential Multifamily. Low Density District.
Mr. John Marlles presented the request on behalf of the Commission. Using a visual display, Mr.
Marlles pointed out the area under consideration for rezoning, as well as the various land uses in the
surrounding area. He noted that the rezoning would bring the zoning of many of the lots into
conformity with their current land use, which was residential. He said that the rezoning would also
encourage new residential investment in the Hurt Park neighborhood. Mr. Maflles commented that
during the past several years, a church as well as one property owner had petitioned to have their
properties rezoned from light manufacturing to residential in order to be able to make certain
improvements to their properties.
Planning Commission Minutes

May 1, 1996
Mr. Marlles stated that when the church had requested a rezoning in 1992, the Commission had
instructed the Planning staff to study the general area for a possible downzoning. He said that staff
had done that and was prepared to go forward with a recommendation that the area be rezoned to
residential. Mr. Marlles also advised the Commission that Habitat for Humanity had purchased
many of the lots in the area under consideration, and was in the process of clearing them for a 20 lot
single family residential development.
Mr. Marlles further stated that staff had done a detailed land use analysis of the area and had also
consulted with the City's Economic Development office on their opinion as to whether the land was
valuable for industrial development. He said that City records indicated there had been no interest
in developing the area for either commercial or industrial purposes.
Mr. Marlles stated that a neighborhood meeting had been held on April 22 to obtain input from the
affected property owners and residents. He said that approximately 30 property owners attended
the meeting.
A~aln, Mr. Marlles noted that the predominant land use in the study area was single family although
the zoning district was light manufacturing. He further stated that staff had intentionally excluded
the existing commercial and industrial was on Salem Avenue fi'om the proposed rezoning Mr.
Marlles said that the location of an active City park, as well as a growing church, was another factor
in recommending a residential zoning category.
Mrs. Duerk questioned the land use on the west side of the park.
Mr. Marlles responded that there was a church and several vacant residential houses. He further
noted that that area was already zoned residential. He again commented on his conversations with
the City's economic development orifice, noting that they did not feel the area was valuable industrial
land for the City. He also noted that according to the City's records, there had not been any interest
by any industrial or commercial prospect for locating a facility in the area recommended for
rezoning.
Mr. Marlles again commented on the neighborhood meeting, noting that the majority of those
present were supportive of the rezoning request from LM to residential and that most of the
questions dealt with the Habitat for Humanity's requirements for homeownership and the design of
the structures. Mr. Marlles stated that Habitat had not developed a detailed design for their proposed
homes, but they would probably be similar to ones that were constructed on Cleveland Avenue, S.W.
He also noted that about 20 new single family homes were proposed for the area.
Mr. Marlles stated that staff was recommending approval of the request. He said he felt residential
zoning was appropriate but notedded there was some mix of uses in the area. He further noted that
the other basis for the recommendation was that there had been no interest in developing the area
for industrial use; that the predominant land use was residential; there was an active and growing
church in the area, as well as a City park.

Mrs. Coles asked if any of the existing industrial uses in the study area had expanded.
Mr. Marlles stated that the existing industrial uses were outside the study area.
Mrs. Coles asked for comments from the audience.
Mr. Bob Zimmerman appeared before the Commission and stated he owned property on Salem
Avenue and 10th Street. He said that he was not against Habitat for Humanity, but he was against
them taking land zoned for light manufacturing to build small homes. He said that the City had a
lot of substandard housing that needed work and he felt there were a lot of people who could give
Habitat property on which to build. He said that he talked with Ren Heard many years about his
property and Mr. Heard wanted a $140,000 for the property at that time. He said that no one could
buy the property for the price Mr. Heard was asking. He further sated that he had also talked with
Doug Chittum, in the City's Economic Development Office. He said that Mr. Chittum had said he
felt the area should be commercial. Mr. Zimmerman said that he also talked with other business
property owners in the area who felt the land could be put to better use. He said that he and other
business owners paid between $23,000 and $24,000 per year in business licenses, as well as personal
property and real estate taxes. He said that Habitat would probably pay less than $8,000 in taxes for
all the homes they built in the area. He said it was time we started to take a better look at what was
best for the City. He said that with the $140,000 that Ren Heard wanted for the property, plus the
$190,000 that Habitat was going to spend, as well $250,000 to put in curb and gutter, that was over
a half million dollars the City was spending to put in 20 to 25 houses. He said that he could buy lots
in South Roanoke for $30,000 at the most.
Mrs. Coles commented that it was not the Commission's concern about the price Mr. Heard had
asked for his property. She said that the Commission was to hear the request for rezoning and act
upon that request. She said that she respected Mr. Zimmerman's opinion, but the issue was whether
or not to rezone the lots for the purpose of single family residences.
Mr. Zimmerman said that the Commission needed to look at what would create the most revenue
and what would keep the taxes down so business would stay in the City.
Mrs. Coles then asked Mr. Zimmerman how the residences would affect his business.
Mr. Zimmerman said that he would look at what had happened in the area 12 years ago. He said he
would look at break-ins and other undesirable activities in the area.
Mr. Jones asked Mr. Zimmerman if he thought the land was viable for light manufacturing.
Mr. Zimmerman said that if someone came in and put up a steel building, someone would buy it
quickly. He said that if the property were put in a marketable condition, someone would purchase
it.

Mr. Marlles stated that regardless of whether or not the land was developed for commercial or
residential purposes, it would be expensive. He also noted that the funding source for acquisition
of the properties for Habitat was from the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
He said that Habitat, just like any other organization, had to submit an application and prove that
their request met the criteria for funding. He said that CDBG funds were earmarked for elimination
of slums and blight.
Mrs. Duerk asked if the CDBG funds had to be used for residential purposes.
Mr. Marlles stated they did not, and that land had been acquired by the City through the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority for industrial parks under the CDBG program.
Mrs. Coles asked for further comments from the audience.
Mr. Woodrow C. Hickman, Jr. (1010 Norfolk Avenue, S.W.) appeared before the Commission and
stated that he supported Habitat for Humanity's efforts to develop single family homes in the area.
He said that he was trying to beautify his community and to take away the blighting uses. He further
stated that as long as he could remember, the area had been residential and he had never seen anyone
want to building any manufacturing use. He said that the residents had the right to have their
property residentially zoned and that Habitat for Humanity would beautify and help the City.
Mr. Jones asked Mr. Hickman if he was the only resident living in the area to be rezoned.
Mr. Hickman stated he was not.
Ms. Mary Singleton (1015 Norfolk Avenue) appeared before the Commission and sated that she had
lived in the neighborhood a long time and found it to be very quiet. She said that she would work
to fix her property up so that it would look as good as the new homes.
Ms. Norma Smith (11 -14th Street, SW) appeared before the Commission and sated that she had no
problem with the construction of Habitat for Humanity homes in the area. She said that the
development was long overdue and anything else that would help the southwest area was needed.
She said there was still plenty of land in the area zoned for light manufacturing purposes and she
said that she wanted to see Mr. Zimmerman keep his business on Salem Avenue. She said that the
residents liked the area and wanted to see it picked up.
Mrs. Duerk asked if Habitat for Humanity fixed up older, deteriorating homes.
Ms. Smith stated that they did and that the neighborhood was asking that they fix up some of the
older homes.
Ms. Amy Moore, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, appeared before the Commission and
stated that Habitat had begun plans for the project several years ago. She said that with the
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 12
May 1, 1996
knowledge the area was blighted, Habitat had applied for a CDBG grant. She noted that $90,000
had been paid for the property and additional monies had been used for clearance. She said that
Habitat hoped to purchase additional properties if they were granted additional monies. She further
stated the Habitat hoped to build between 20 and 24 homes and would like to begin construction in
September, 1997. She further stated that Habitat was currently talking to other property owners in
the area to see if they would be willing to donate or sell other properties.
Ms. Moore further stated that Habitat did not give a handout to any family. She said that the
families had to go through a rigorous application process and that Habitat was family oriented. Ms.
Moore also stated that she had met with the neighbors in the area and it seemed that they wanted
their area to go back like it was before. Ms. Moore mentioned that there were three houses that
Habitat was seeking to purchase and these houses would be rehabilitated and sold. She asked that
the Commission favorably consider the request.
Mr. Butler left the meeting at this point (3:50 p.m.).
Ms. Madeline Daniels (1013 Norfolk Avenue) appeared before the Commission and stated that she
owned her home and another lot. She said she wanted to know whether she could build a house on
her additional lot.
Mrs. Coles directed Ms. Daniels to the zoning division of the Planning Department to find out if she
had a buildable lot.
Ms. Daniels also said that she did not want anyone to sell her house to Habitat.
Ms. Coles advised Ms. Daniels that the ownership of her home was not in jeopardy.
Mr. Gary Galbreath (3101 Hubbard Road) appeared before the Commission. He said that he was
principal at Hurt Park Elementary School and wanted to endorse the idea of Habitat for Humanity
building the single family residences. He said that Hurt Park Elementary School was the poorest
school in the Roanoke Valley and there was a real concern about improving the school. He said that
the neighborhood would have to be improved and he was convinced that the Habitat project would
be a positive step in improving the community and the school. He said he looked forward to
working with the families and further felt that the addition of 20 new families would be a welcome
addition to the neighborhood.
Mrs. Coles thanked Mr. Galbreath for coming and reminded those present that there was both a
school and a park in the area. She said that if there were no other comments, a motion was in order.
There being no further discussion, Mr. Bradshaw moved to approve the request. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hill and approved 6-0.

currently zoned RM-2, Residential Multifamily, Medium Density District, to RM-1,
Residential Multifamily, Low Density District.
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA:
Having moved to do so at its meeting on August 7, 1991, pursuant to the requirements of Section
15.1-491, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, and Section 36.1-619, Code of the City of Roanoke
(1979), as amended, the Planning Commission of the City of Roanoke respectfully files this Petition
to Rezone and would state the following:
The Planning Commission has considered land uses, zoning and development trends in this
area of the City. The Planning Commission concludes that zoning of the subject properties
should be consistent with the existing land uses and that the present LM, Light
Manufacturing District, and RM-2, Residential Multifamily, Medium Density District,
zoning districts are not appropriate.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article VII of Chapter 36.1 of the Code of the City of Roanoke
(1979), as amended, the Planning Commission requests that the parcels of land bearing the
official tax numbers listed above, lying in the southwest quadrant of the City be rezoned
from LM, Light Manufacturing District, and RM-2, Residential Multifamily, Medium
Density District, to R/VI-l, Residential Multifamily, Low Density District. The owners of
these parcels of land are identified in Exhibit A attached hereto.
3. It is submitted that the rezoning of the subject tract will further the intent and the purpose
of the City's zoning regulations and its comprehensive plan and will further the general
welfare and good zoning practices by: (1) making the existing use of the subject property
consistent with the proper zoning category for that type use; (2) encouraging additional
residential development to locate in a distressed area; and (3) ensuring that the subject
property will be used in the future in a manner that will not negatively impact adjoining
residential properties.
4. As this rezoning entails more than 25 parcels of land, adjoining property owner notification
is not required as set out in Sec. 15.1-43 I, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended.
WHEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Roanoke requests the subject
property be rezoned to RM-1, Residential Multifamily, Low Density District, and that the City's
zoning maps be amended accordingly.
