purposes of amending and reordaining the following code sections to update, clarify and
make the City's zoning ordinance easier to use for its citizens and consistent with state
law and the City's comprehensive plan; and dispensing with the second reading of this
ordinance by title.
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the current zoning code in 2005, City Council
has adopted 19 amendments to ensure the code remains a relevant tool for implementing
the comprehensive plan. This update will be the second substantial update to the zoning
ordinance since the adoption of City Plan 2040 in December 2020;
WHEREAS, Roanoke's residential zoning districts cover just over half of
Roanoke's land area (14,600 acres). Most of those districts are exclusionary because
they permit only one type of housing by-right. These exclusionary districts cover 13,319
acres, or 91 percent of our residentially zoned land;
WHEREAS, localities across the United States are working to repeal exclusionary
zoning for two compelling reasons: First, because exclusive single-family districts have
constricted the housing supply by excluding other housing types, in turn contributing to a
crisis level national housing shortage; and second, because exclusionary zoning is a
persisting legacy of racial and economic segregation;
WHEREAS, these proposed amendments were developed by planning staff,
guided by priority and action items highlighted in City Plan 2040;
WHEREAS, the basis for these changes are rooted in the City's comprehensive
plan, City Plan 2040;
WHEREAS, for the proposed amendments to: (a) Regulate Dwellings as a land
use, (b) Reclassify Dwelling Types, (c) Define Household to include Family and Nonfamily
Living Arrangements, and (d) Ensure the City uses remaining land efficiently, Planning
staff considered the polices of City Plan 2040 to: (1) Identify and remove barriers to
housing choice, (2) Develop varied and affordable housing options in each neighborhood,
(3) Enable affordable and accessible housing options in all neighborhoods, and (4)
Enable a range of housing types in each part of the community to achieve inclusive,
livable neighborhoods that prosper over time;
WHEREAS, for the proposed amendments to: (a) Simplify various Group Care
Facility types into a single Group Living land use, and (b) Replace Transitional Living
Group Care Facility with small scale Community Housing Services and larger scale
Regional Housing Services, Planning staff considered the polices of City Plan 2040 to:
(1) Remove legal elements of institutional or structural bias, (2) Lead community healing,
(3) Provide supportive interventions strategically, (4) Understand the connection between
finances, housing, and literacy in order to remove barriers for vulnerable people like
veterans, formerly incarcerated people, and people recovering from addiction, and (5)
Enable a range of housing types in each part of the community to achieve inclusive,
livable neighborhoods that prosper over time;
WHEREAS, Planning Staff, the Planning Commission, and City Council
considered the impacts the proposed text amendments would have on population growth,
infrastructure, schools, transportation options, demand on public water or sanitary sewer
services, traffic on public streets, and furthering the intent of the City's Comprehensive
Plan;
WHEREAS, Planning Staff, the Planning Commission, and City Council
considered public comments that addressed: past zoning codes creating blight and this
proposal reducing blight, not enough public outreach, this proposal bringing uncertainty
for neighborhoods that may cause homeowners to leave, support for removing
discriminatory language, concern that the increased property values from this proposal
may encourage demolition and rebuilding, this proposal bringing needed housing units
for the over 50 percent of renters struggling with housing affordability, 2005 downzoning
not bringing beneficial change to neighborhoods and this proposal allowing the creation
of needed housing, and great community outreach;
WHEREAS, coming off the heels of the Comprehensive Plan update, City Plan
2040, the proposed text amendments were major themes of that plan and were
thoroughly discussed during the 2 and half year planning process within the community.
The plan was a well-vetted document with specific action items prescribed. The proposed
zoning changes will continue a major step of plan implementation;
WHEREAS, in the fall of 2023, to set the stage and start more focused
engagement, staff held 6 open house sessions at all of our libraries to communicate our
housing issues and ideas for removing barriers to housing development. Staff created an
online survey as another opportunity for input. Planroanoke.org was a page dedicated to
information about zoning reform;
WHEREAS, following the input sessions, planning and zoning staff began to look
at options for barrier removal presented above;
WHEREAS, with definitive proposals to present, planning and zoning staff hosted
another round of open houses for community engagement at all six library locations and
hosted one public meeting virtually. The first round presented the concepts and issues
the amendments would be designed to address;
WHEREAS, staff used feedback from these sessions to craft specific
amendments;
WHEREAS, once specific changes were developed, staff briefed City Council on
February 5, 2024, and went back through another round of open house sessions, plus a
virtual session. In all there were 13 meetings held to discuss the zoning reform proposals;
WHEREAS, staff briefed the Planning Commission on its progress with the
proposed amendments in multiple work sessions on February 9, 2024, and
March 8, 2024;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission initiated consideration of the proposed
amendments by motion at its regular meeting on February 12, 2024;
WHEREAS, a public hearing on the proposed text amendments was held by the
Planning Commission on March 11, 2024, after providing notice as required by law;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission discussed: great community outreach,
anticipated additional housing units from this proposal resulting in approximately 50 units
per year, the desire for a citywide impact study of this proposal, residential density
bringing additional positive uses to neighborhoods and increasing property values,
density of housing increases historically being positive within our community, and this
proposal meeting goals within City Plan 2040 of a walkable city, equity, and improving
transit;
WHEREAS, following conclusion of the public hearing and deliberation on
March 11, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended the proposed text
amendments;
WHEREAS, a public hearing on the proposed text amendments was held by City
Council on March 18, 2024, after providing notice as required by law; and
WHEREAS, City Council finds that public necessity, convenience, general welfare,
and good zoning practice require adoption of the proposed text amendments as
advertised.

and certain other details of such bonds; and otherwise providing with respect to the

WHEREAS, in the judgment of the Council (the "Council") of the City of Roanoke,

Center for the City (including related design and architectural and engineering services),
and (ii) to authorize the sale of such Bonds;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Roanoke, Virginia:
SECTION 1. (a) Pursuant to Chapter 26 of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
as amended, the same being the Public Finance Act of 1991 (the "Public Finance Act of
1991"), for the purpose of providing net proceeds of sale (after taking into account costs
of issuance, underwriting compensation and original issue discount, if any) to pay the
costs of the construction of an expansion to and renovations of the Hotel Roanoke and
Conference Center and for the City (including related design and architectural and
engineering services), the City is authorized to contract a debt and to issue in one or more
series from time to time not to exceed Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) aggregate
principal amount of general obligation bonds of the City to be designated and known as
the "City of Roanoke, Virginia, General Obligation Public Improvement Bonds."
(b) The Bonds shall be issued and sold in their entirety at one time, or from time
to time in part in series, as shall be determined by the Director of Finance or the City
Manager. There shall be added to the designation of the Bonds a series designation
determined by the Director of Finance or the City Manager. The Bonds shall be issued in
fully registered form in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof.
The Bonds of a given series shall be numbered from No. R-1 upwards in order of
issuance. The Bonds shall bear interest from their date payable on such date and
semiannually thereafter as shall be determined by the City Manager or the Director of
Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof. The Bonds of each series
shall be issued in such aggregate principal amounts (not exceeding the aggregate
principal amount specified in Section 1(a) hereof); and shall mature on such dates and in
such years (but in no event exceeding forty (40) years from their date or dates), and in
the principal amount in each such year, as shall be determined by the City Manager or
the Director of Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof. Interest on
the Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year
comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months.
(c) The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of$5,000) may be subject to
redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part from
time to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City (except that if
at any time less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for redemption, the
particular Bonds or portions thereof in installments of $5,000 of such maturity to be
redeemed shall be selected by lot), upon payment of such redemption prices, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, as shall be
determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 hereof.
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in installments
of$5,000) shall be called for redemption, notice of the redemption thereof, specifying the
date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or places fixed for its
redemption, and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond is to be redeemed,
that such Bond must be surrendered in exchange for the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed and a new Bond or Bonds issued equaling in principal amount that portion of
the principal amount thereof not to be redeemed, shall be mailed not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
registered owner thereof at the address of such registered owner as it appears on the
books of registry kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the close of business on
the forty - fifth (45th) day next preceding the date fixed for redemption. If notice of the
redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid, and payment of the principal
amount of such Bond (or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) and
of the accrued interest payable upon such redemption shall have been duly made or
provided for, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the date so specified
for the redemption thereof.
(ii) Any notice of the optional redemption of the Bonds may state that it is
conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the redemption
thereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, and any
conditional notice so given may be rescinded at any time before the payment of the
redemption price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon, is due and
payable if any such condition so specified is not satisfied. If a redemption of any Bonds
does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to there not being on deposit with
the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, the
corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be revoked.
(iii) So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, any notice of redemption
shall be given only to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or
to its nominee. The City shall not be responsible for providing any beneficial owner of the
Bonds any notice of redemption.
SECTION 2. The full faith and credit of the City shall be and is irrevocably pledged
to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become
due. In each year while the Bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, this
Council is authorized and required to levy and collect annually, at the same time and in
the same manner as other taxes of the City are assessed, levied and collected, a tax
upon all taxable property within the City, over and above all other taxes, authorized or
limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, sufficient to pay when due the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent other funds of the City are not lawfully
available and appropriated for such purpose.
SECTION 3. (a) The Bonds shall be executed, for and on behalf of the City, by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor of the City and shall have a facsimile of the
corporate seal of the City imprinted thereon, attested by the manual or facsimile signature
of the City Clerk of the City.
(b) The Director of Finance or the City Manager are each hereby authorized to
appoint a Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds (the "Registrar and Paying Agent").
(c) The Director of Finance or the City Manager shall direct the Registrar and
Paying Agent to authenticate the Bonds and no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless and until the certificate of authentication endorsed on each Bond shall
have been manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Registrar and Paying
Agent. Upon the authentication of any Bonds the Registrar and Paying Agent shall insert
in the certificate of authentication the date as of which such Bonds are authenticated as
follows: (i) if a Bond is authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, the certificate
shall be dated as of the date of the initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds of the series
of Bonds of which such Bond is one, (ii) if a Bond is authenticated upon an interest
payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest payment date, (iii) if a Bond
is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month next preceding an
interest payment date and prior to such interest payment date, the certificate shall be
dated as of such interest payment date and (iv) in all other instances the certificate shall
be dated as of the interest payment date next preceding the date upon which the Bond is
authenticated. In the event the Bonds of any series shall be dated as of a date other than
the first day of a calendar month or the dates on which interest is payable on such series
are other than the first days of calendar months, the provisions of this Section 3(c) with
regard to the authentication of such Bonds and of Section 7 hereof with regard to the form
of such Bonds shall be modified as the Director of Finance or the City Manager shall
determine to be necessary or appropriate.
(d) The execution and authentication of the Bonds in the manner set forth
above is adopted as a due and sufficient authentication of the Bonds.
SECTION 4. (a) The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the respective dates of
payment thereof is legal tender for public and private debts. The principal of the Bonds
shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar
and Paying Agent. Interest on the Bonds shall be payable by check mailed by the
Registrar and Paying Agent to the registered owners of such Bonds at their respective
addresses as such addresses appear on the books of registry kept pursuant to this
Section 4; provided, however, that so long as the Bonds are in book-entry form and
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or in the name of such other
nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, interest
on the Bonds shall be paid directly to Cede & Co. or such other nominee of DTC by wire
transfer.
(b) At all times during which any Bond of any series remains outstanding and
unpaid, the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series shall keep or cause to be kept at
its office books of registry for the registration, exchange and transfer of Bonds of such
series. Upon presentation at its office for such purpose the Registrar and Paying Agent,
under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall register, exchange or
transfer, or cause to be registered, exchanged or transferred, on the books of registry the
Bonds as hereinbefore set forth.
(c) The books of registry shall at all times be open for inspection by the City or
any duly authorized officer thereof.
(d) Any Bond may be exchanged at the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent
for such series of Bonds for a like aggregate principal amount of such Bonds in other
authorized principal sums of the same series, interest rate and maturity.
(e) Any Bond of any series may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred
upon the books of registry by the registered owner of such Bond in person or by the duly
authorized attorney for such registered owner, upon surrender of such Bond to the
Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed by the registered owner in person or by the duly authorized
attorney for such registered owner, in form satisfactory to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made without
expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein provided,
and except that the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series of Bonds shall require the
payment by the registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or exchange of
any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer
or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be cancelled.
(g) (i) The Bonds shall be issued in full book-entry form. One Bond representing
each maturity of the Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such Bond will be
immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds.
Individual purchases will be made in book-entry form only, in the principal amount of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Purchasers will not receive physical delivery of
certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
(ii) Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made by the Registrar
and Paying Agent to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of the Bonds,
which will in turn remit such payments to the DTC participants for subsequent disbursal
to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. Transfers of principal and interest payments to
DTC participants will be the responsibility of DTC. Transfers of such payments to
beneficial owners of the Bonds by DTC participants will be the responsibility of such
participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners. Transfers of ownership
interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by
the DTC participants who act on behalf of the indirect participants of DTC and the
beneficial owners of the Bonds.
(iii) The City will not be responsible or liable for sending transaction statements
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC, its participants
or persons acting through such participants or for transmitting payments to,
communicating with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any beneficial owner of the
Bonds.
SECTION 5. (a) CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the Bonds, but
no such number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular Bond
upon which it is printed; no liability shall attach to the City or any officer or agent thereof
(including any paying agent for the Bonds) by reason of such numbers or any use made
thereof (including any use thereof made by the City, any such officer or any such agent)
or by reason of any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect thereto or in such use; and
any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect to such numbers shall not constitute cause
for failure or refusal by the successful bidder or purchaser to accept delivery of and pay
for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. All expenses in connection with the
assignment and printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the City;
provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of such
numbers shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder for or purchaser of the Bonds.
(b) A copy of the final legal opinion with respect to the Bonds, with the name of
the attorney or attorneys rendering the same, together with a certification of the City Clerk,
executed by a facsimile signature of that officer, to the effect that such copy is a true and
complete copy (except for letterhead and date) of the legal opinion which was dated as
of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, may be printed on the Bonds.

The 17th day of June, 2024.
No. 42957-061724.
A RESOLUTION to initiate amendments of the City's Zoning Ordinance by (1)
Repealing the March 18, 2024 Zoning Amendments and then (2) Adopting Zoning
Amendments Similar in Substance to the March 18, 2024 Zoning Amendments, and
Referring Consideration of Such Zoning Amendments to the Planning Commission for
Review and Recommendation.
WHEREAS, Roanoke's residential zoning districts cover just over half of the City
of Roanoke's land area (approximately 14,600 acres);
WHEREAS, prior to March 18, 2024, most of the residential zoning districts in the
City permitted only one type of housing, single-family housing, by right. This limitation
had the effect of excluding other types of housing and limiting housing options;
WHEREAS, localities across the United States have been working to amend
zoning district regulations that limit uses to single-family residential uses. These localities
have concluded that single-family residential districts constrict the supply of housing by
excluding other types of housing, contributing to a shortage of housing. In addition, these
localities have considered that zoning districts limited to single-family residential uses are
a persisting legacy of racial and economic segregation;
WHEREAS, the City Plan 2040, adopted by the City Council in 2020, called for
new policies that would allow a range of housing options in all residential zoning districts;
WHEREAS, on March 18, 2024, and following a public hearing, the City Council
adopted zoning amendments to improve the availability of housing and housing
alternatives, and to address concerns related to the effects of district regulations that
allow only single-family residential uses, as set forth in Ordinance No. 42902-031824 (the
"March 18 Ordinance");
WHEREAS, the March 18 Ordinance amended the text of the City Zoning
Ordinance, including the text of the district regulations for residential districts. The March
18 Ordinance did not amend the Official Zoning Map, nor did the March 18 Ordinance
change any district boundaries;
WHEREAS, a primary effect of the March 18 Ordinance was to allow for residential
uses in residential districts, by right, in addition to single-family uses;
WHEREAS, the City Council's adoption of the March 18 Ordinance followed the
Planning Commission's March 11, 2024 public hearing;
WHEREAS, following the March 11, 2024 public hearing, on that same day the
Planning Commission deliberated and recommended adoption of the March 18
Ordinance;
WHEREAS, the City Council's adoption of the March 18 Ordinance was also
preceded by years of study and review by the Planning Staff;
WHEREAS, the Planning Staff had briefed the Planning Commission on its
progress regarding the March 18 Ordinance amendments in two Planning Commission
work sessions;
WHEREAS, in addition to the March 11, 2024 and March 18, 2024 public hearings
referenced above, there was extensive community engagement and opportunities for
public participation related to the March 18 Ordinance, including: a dozen open house
sessions held at City libraries; a virtual meeting; and an online survey.
WHEREAS, on or about April 17, 2024, a lawsuit was filed in Roanoke City Circuit
Court, CL24-723, challenging the March 18 Ordinance's zoning amendments (the
"Lawsuit");
WHEREAS, the Lawsuit, in part, asserts procedural challenges to the
March 18 Ordinance's adoption, including alleged deficiencies in the public notices for the
March 11, 2024 and March 18, 2024 public hearings;
WHEREAS, the relevant notice statute for public hearings (Virginia Code § 15.2-
2204)will be amended effective July 1, 2024, which will provide additional clarity on notice
requirements; and
WHEREAS, to address any uncertainty as to the adoption or effect of the March
18, Ordinance, and to provide additional opportunities for further public comment,
Planning Commission review, and City Council review, the City Council takes the action
described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as
follows:
1. The City Council hereby finds that the public necessity, convenience,
general welfare, or good zoning practice requires consideration of the following two
zoning amendments: (1) repealing the zoning amendments made in the
March 18 Ordinance; and (2) adopting zoning amendments similar in substance to the
zoning amendments made in the March 18 Ordinance.
2. That these two proposed zoning ordinance amendments are hereby
initiated pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-2286(A)(7) and City Zoning Ordinance § 36.2-
540(b).
3. These proposed zoning amendments are hereby referred to the Planning
Commission for its consideration and recommendations, and to be scheduled for a public
hearing.

No. 42965-070124.
A RESOLUTION establishing a written policy for participation in City Council
meetings through electronic communication.
WHEREAS, Virginia Code §2.2-3708.3 allows members of local governing bodies
to participate in a meeting through electronic communication means from a remote
location in certain situations; and
WHEREAS, a written policy must be established at least once annually for such
participation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that
the following policy is established for Council members' remote electronic participation in
City Council meetings:
1. On or before the day of a meeting, the member shall notify the Mayor that
the member is unable to attend the meeting due to an emergency or a personal matter.
The member must identify with specificity the nature of the emergency or personal
matter. A member may also notify the Mayor that the member is unable to attend a
meeting due to (a) a temporary or permanent disability or other medical condition that
prevents the member's physical attendance, or (b) a medical condition of a member of
the member's family that requires the member to provide care that prevents the member's
physical attendance.
2. A quorum of the Council must be physically assembled at the primary or
central meeting location. The Council members present must approve the participation;
however, the decision shall be based solely on the criteria in this resolution, without
regard to the identity of the member or matters that will be considered or voted on during
the meeting. The Clerk or Deputy Clerk shall record in the Council's minutes the specific
nature of the emergency, personal matter or disability and the remote location from which
the absent member participated. If the absent member's remote participation is
disapproved because such participation would violate this policy, such disapproval shall
be recorded in the Council's minutes with specificity.
3. Participation by the absent member shall be limited in each calendar year
to two meetings or 25% of the meetings of the Council, whichever is fewer.
4. The Council shall make arrangements for the voice of the absent member
to be heard by all persons in attendance at the meeting location.
5. Any committee, subcommittee, or other council-appointed entity may follow
this policy on behalf of its committee, subcommittee, or other council-appointed entity that
shall apply to the committee, subcommittee, or other council-appointed entity's use of
individual remote participation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SECTION 1. (a) Pursuant to Chapter 26 of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
as amended, the same being the Public Finance Act of 1991 (the "Public Finance Act of
1991"), for the purpose of providing net proceeds of sale (after taking into account costs
of issuance, underwriting compensation and original issue discount) to pay the costs of
the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement, extension, enlargement and
equipping of various public improvement projects of and for the City (including related
design and architectural and engineering services) as set forth in Section 7 and to refund
the Refunded Bonds, the City is authorized to contract a debt and to issue in one or more
series from time to time not to exceed Ninety-Four Million Twenty-Two Thousand Four
Hundred Five Dollars ($94,022,405) aggregate principal amount of general obligation
bonds of the City to be designated and known as the "City of Roanoke, Virginia, General
Obligation Public Improvement Bonds", or, as applicable, as the "City of Roanoke, Virginia
General Obligation Public Improvement Refunding Bonds."
(b) The Bonds shall be issued and sold in their entirety at one time, or from time
to time, in one or more series as shall be determined by the Director of Finance or the
City Manager. There shall be added to the designation of the Bonds a series designation
determined by the Director of Finance or the City Manager. The Bonds shall be issued in
fully registered form in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof.
The Bonds of a given series shall be numbered from No. R-1 upwards in order of
issuance. The Bonds shall bear interest from their date payable on such date and
semiannually thereafter as shall be determined by the City Manager or the Director of
Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. The Bonds of each series
shall be issued in such aggregate principal amounts (not exceeding the aggregate
principal amount specified in Section 1(a) hereof); and shall mature on such dates and in
such years (but in no event exceeding forty (40) years from their date or dates), and in
the principal amount in each such year, as shall be determined by the City Manager or
the Director of Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. Interest on
the Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year
comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months.
(c) The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of$5,000) may be subject to
redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part from
time to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City (except that if
at any time less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for redemption, the
particular Bonds or portions thereof in installments of $5,000 of such maturity to be
redeemed shall be selected by lot), upon payment of such redemption prices (expressed
as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed), together with the
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, as shall be
determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 hereof.
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in installments
of$5,000) shall be called for redemption, notice of the redemption thereof, specifying the
date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or places fixed for its
redemption, and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond is to be redeemed,
that such Bond must be surrendered in exchange for the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed and a new Bond or Bonds issued equaling in principal amount that portion of
the principal amount thereof not to be redeemed, shall be mailed not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
registered owner thereof at the address of such registered owner as it appears on the
books of registry kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the close of business on
the forty-fifth (45th) day next preceding the date fixed for redemption. If notice of the
redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid, and payment of the principal
amount of such Bond (or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) and
of the accrued interest payable upon such redemption shall have been duly made or
provided for, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the date so specified
for the redemption thereof.
(ii) Any notice of the optional redemption of the Bonds may state that it is
conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the redemption
thereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, and any
conditional notice so given may be rescinded at any time before the payment of the
redemption price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon, is due and
payable if any such condition so specified is not satisfied. If a redemption of any Bonds
does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to there not being on deposit with
the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, the
corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be revoked.
(iii) So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, any notice of redemption
shall be given only to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or
to its nominee. The City shall not be responsible for providing any beneficial owner of the
Bonds any notice of redemption.
SECTION 2. The full faith and credit of the City shall be and is irrevocably pledged
to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become
due. In each year while the Bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, this
Council is authorized and required to levy and collect annually, at the same time and in
the same manner as other taxes of the City are assessed, levied and collected, a tax
upon all taxable property within the City, over and above all other taxes, authorized or
limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, sufficient to pay when due the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent other funds of the City are not lawfully
available and appropriated for such purpose.
SECTION 3. (a) The Bonds shall be executed, for and on behalf of the City, by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor of the City and shall have a facsimile of the
corporate seal of the City imprinted thereon, attested by the manual or facsimile signature
of the City Clerk of the City.
(b) The Director of Finance or the City Manager are each hereby authorized to
appoint a Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds (the "Registrar and Paying Agent").
(c) The Director of Finance or the City Manager shall direct the Registrar and
Paying Agent to authenticate the Bonds and no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless and until the certificate of authentication endorsed on each Bond shall
have been manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Registrar and Paying
Agent. Upon the authentication of any Bonds the Registrar and Paying Agent shall insert
in the certificate of authentication the date as of which such Bonds are authenticated as
follows: (i) if a Bond is authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, the certificate
shall be dated as of the date of the initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds of the series
of Bonds of which such Bond is one, (ii) if a Bond is authenticated upon an interest
payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest payment date, (iii) if a Bond
is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month next preceding an
interest payment date and prior to such interest payment date, the certificate shall be
dated as of such interest payment date and (iv) in all other instances the certificate shall
be dated as of the interest payment date next preceding the date upon which the Bond is
authenticated. In the event the Bonds of any series shall be dated as of a date other than
the first day of a calendar month or the dates on which interest is payable on such series
are other than the first days of calendar months, the provisions of this Section 3(c) with
regard to the authentication of such Bonds and of Section 10 hereof with regard to the
form of such Bonds shall be modified as the Director of Finance or the City Manager shall
determine to be necessary or appropriate.
(d) The execution and authentication of the Bonds in the manner set forth
above is adopted as a due and sufficient authentication of the Bonds.
SECTION 4. (a) The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the respective dates of
payment thereof is legal tender for public and private debts. The principal of the Bonds
shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar
and Paying Agent. Interest on the Bonds shall be payable by check mailed by the
Registrar and Paying Agent to the registered owners of such Bonds at their respective
addresses as such addresses appear on the books of registry kept pursuant to this
Section 4; provided, however, that so long as the Bonds are in book-entry form and
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or in the name of such other
nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, interest
on the Bonds shall be paid directly to Cede & Co. or such other nominee of DTC by wire
transfer.
(b) At all times during which any Bond of any series remains outstanding and
unpaid, the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series shall keep or cause to be kept at
its office books of registry for the registration, exchange and transfer of Bonds of such
series. Upon presentation at its office for such purpose the Registrar and Paying Agent,
under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall register, exchange or
transfer, or cause to be registered, exchanged or transferred, on the books of registry the
Bonds as hereinbefore set forth.
(c) The books of registry shall at all times be open for inspection by the City or
any duly authorized officer thereof.
(d) Any Bond may be exchanged at the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent
for such series of Bonds for a like aggregate principal amount of such Bonds in other
authorized principal sums of the same series, interest rate and maturity.
(e) Any Bond of any series may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred
upon the books of registry by the registered owner of such Bond in person or by the duly
authorized attorney for such registered owner, upon surrender of such Bond to the
Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed by the registered owner in person or by the duly authorized
attorney for such registered owner, in form satisfactory to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made without
expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein provided,
and except that the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series of Bonds shall require the
payment by the registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or exchange of
any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer
or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be cancelled.
(g) (i) The Bonds shall be issued in full book-entry form. One Bond representing
each maturity of the Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such Bond will be
immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds.
Individual purchases will be made in book-entry form only, in the principal amount of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Purchasers will not receive physical delivery of
certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
(ii) Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made by the Registrar
and Paying Agent to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of the Bonds,
which will in turn remit such payments to the DTC participants for subsequent disbursal
to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. Transfers of principal and interest payments to
DTC participants will be the responsibility of DTC. Transfers of such payments to
beneficial owners of the Bonds by DTC participants will be the responsibility of such
participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners. Transfers of ownership
interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by
the DTC participants who act on behalf of the indirect participants of DTC and the
beneficial owners of the Bonds.
(iii) The City will not be responsible or liable for sending transaction statements
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC, its participants
or persons acting through such participants or for transmitting payments to,
communicating with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any beneficial owner of the
Bonds.
SECTION 5. (a) CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the Bonds, but
no such number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular Bond
upon which it is printed; no liability shall attach to the City or any officer or agent thereof
(including any paying agent for the Bonds) by reason of such numbers or any use made
thereof (including any use thereof made by the City, any such officer or any such agent)
or by reason of any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect thereto or in such use; and
any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect to such numbers shall not constitute cause
for failure or refusal by the successful bidder or purchaser to accept delivery of and pay
for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. All expenses in connection with the
assignment and printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the City;
provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of such
numbers shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder for or purchaser of the Bonds.
(b) A copy of the final legal opinion with respect to the Bonds, with the name of
the attorney or attorneys rendering the same,together with a certification of the City Clerk,
executed by a facsimile signature of that officer, to the effect that such copy is a true and
complete copy (except for letterhead and date) of the legal opinion which was dated as
of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, may be printed on the Bonds.
SECTION 6. To the extent it shall be contemplated at the time of their issuance
that the interest on any Bonds issued hereunder shall be excludable from gross income
for purposes of federal income taxation, the City covenants and agrees that it shall comply
with the provisions of Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

of revenue, the city manager, and the city attorney, will review the application and provide
a recommendation to the city manager on whether it is appropriate for city council to grant
an exemption by classification or designation. The item will then be placed on city
council's agenda for consideration, where the city manager will provide such
recommendation to city council.
Sec. 32-8.2 - Exemption by designation.
(a) No ordinance exempting property by designation pursuant to § 32-8 shall

is published.
(b) Prior to processing the application for consideration by city council, the city
shall collect a deposit in an amount to be determined to cover the publication cost for
notice of the hearing. If the organization withdraws its request in writing before the notice
is submitted for publication, the deposit shall be refunded in full. If the publication cost
exceeds the deposit, the applicant shall pay the balance to the city. If the cost is less than
the deposit, the balance shall be refunded to the applicant. The applicant remains
responsible for the publication cost, regardless of whether city council adopts the
ordinance granting the exemption.
(c) Before adopting any such ordinance granting an exemption by designation,
city council shall consider the following:
(1) Whether the organization is exempt from taxation pursuant to Section
501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
(2) Whether the organization has a current annual alcoholic beverage license
issued by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority for the serving of alcoholic
beverages on the property.

public.
(6) Whether a substantial part of the organization's activities involves carrying
on propaganda, or attempting to influence legislation, or participating in or intervening in
any political campaigns.
(7) The revenue impact on the locality and its taxpayers of exempting the
property.
(8) Any other relevant criteria, facts, and circumstances deemed pertinent by
city council to the adoption of such ordinance.
Sec. 32-8.3 - Exemption by classification.
(a) No ordinance exempting property by classification pursuant to § 32-8 shall
be adopted until a public hearing has been held allowing citizens the opportunity to be
heard. The city shall publish notice of the hearing as required by the Code of Virginia. The
notice shall include the assessed value of all real and tangible personal property for which
an exemption is requested, as well as the property taxes assessed against such property.
The public hearing shall not be held until at least seven days after such notice is
published.
(b) Prior to processing the application for consideration by city council, the city
shall collect a deposit in an amount to be determined to cover the publication cost of the
notice of hearing. If the organization withdraws its request in writing before the notice is
submitted for publication, the deposit shall be refunded in full. If the publication cost
exceeds the deposit, the applicant shall pay the balance to the city. If the cost is less than
the deposit, the balance shall be refunded to the applicant. The applicant remains
responsible for the publication cost, regardless of whether city council adopts the
ordinance granting the exemption.
(c) The Nonprofit Tax Exemption Review Committee shall review the request
and provide a recommendation to the city manager on whether it is appropriate for city
council to establish local classifications for organizations not exempt under Article X, §6
of the Virginia Constitution. A new classification shall apply only to property used for
religious, charitable, patriotic, historical, benevolent, cultural, or public park and
playground purposes.
Sec. 32-8.4 - Rules and regulations for administration; application for exemption.
The director of real estate valuation and commissioner of the revenue, with input

triennially with the director of real estate valuation or commissioner of revenue,
respectively, to retain exempt status.
(b) The director of real estate valuation and the commissioner of revenue shall
notify exempt organizations of the application due date 60 days in advance. If the
organization certifies that its ownership, property use, and financial status remain
substantially the same, the director and commissioner may accept that certification in lieu
of a full application.
(c) Failure to file the required application in a timely manner shall result in
termination of the exemption, unless the property is exempt under the self-executing
provisions of the Virginia Constitution, Article X, Section 6(a)(1) through (4).
(d) City Council reserves the right to rescind any exemption granted for good
cause.
Sec. 32-8.6 - Service charge in lieu of taxation.

Blighted property means the same as that term is defined in §36-3, Code of Virginia (1950)
as amended, encompassing any individual commercial, industrial, or residential structure or

structure, whether or not construction has been completed, that might endanger the

blighted property or a derelict building, such properties shall be classified the same, and
assessed as follows:
(a) Blighted property, as defined in Sec 32-103.29, of the Code of the City of
Roanoke, along with the land such building is located on, shall be classified as blighted
property, and shall be taxed at a rate of 5% more than the prevailing tax rate applicable to

against any property, shall be effective July 1 following the date the aforementioned

The director of real estate valuation shall maintain a list of properties declared
blighted property or a derelict building pursuant to this division, and the tax rate for each of
the properties subject to such classifications. The director of real estate valuation shall

constitute a blighted property or a derelict building, which determination may be based
upon a declaration by the city manager or their designee.

Property owners may contest a designation of property as a blighted property or a
derelict building under the standard appeals process for erroneous real estate
assessments, as provided in § 58.1-3980 et seq., Code of Virginia (1950) as amended.

A RESOLUTION establishing a written policy for participation in City Council
meetings through electronic communication.
WHEREAS, Virginia Code §2.2-3708.3 allows members of local governing bodies
to participate in a meeting through electronic communication means from a remote
location in certain situations; and
WHEREAS, a written policy must be established at least once annually for such
participation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that
the following policy is established for Council members' remote electronic participation in
City Council meetings:
1. On or before the day of a meeting, the member shall notify the Mayor that
the member is unable to attend the meeting due to: (a) a temporary or permanent
disability or other medical condition that prevents the member's physical attendance, (b)
a medical condition of a member of the member's family that requires the member to
provide care that prevents the member's physical attendance or the member is a
caregiver who must provide care for a person with a disability at the time the public
meeting is being held thereby preventing the member's physical attendance, or (c) the
member is unable to attend the meeting due to a personal matter and identifies with
specificity the nature of the personal matter.
2! A quorum of the Council must be physically assembled at the primary or
central meeting location. The Council members present must approve the participation;
however, the decision shall be based solely on the criteria in this resolution, without
regard to the identity of the member or matters that will be considered or voted on during
the meeting. The Clerk or Deputy Clerk shall record in the Council's minutes the remote
location from which the absent member participated and the fact that the member
participated through electronic communication means due to (i) a temporary or
permanent disability or other medical condition that prevented the member's physical
attendance, (ii) a family member's medical condition that required the member to provide
care for such family member, thereby preventing the member's physical attendance, or
(iii)the specific nature of the personal matter cited by the member. If the absent member's
remote participation is disapproved because such participation would violate this policy,
.such disapproval shall be recorded in the Council's minutes with specificity.
3. Members may not use remote participation due to personal matters more
than two meetings per calendar year or 25 percent of the meetings held per calendar
year, rounded up to the next whole number, whichever is greater.
4. The Council shall make arrangements for the voice of the member
participating remotely to be heard by all persons in attendance at the meeting location.
5. Any committee, subcommittee, or other council-appointed entity may follow
this policy on behalf of its committee, subcommittee, or other council-appointed entity that
shall apply to the committee, subcommittee, or other council-appointed entity's use of
individual remote participation.
