A Three Phase Process: Where are we today? 1. Understanding: Figuring out what is going on. 2. Exploring: Trying out some ideas. 3. Deciding: Choosing what to do. (All with broad based participation)

Summary of Phase 1: Understanding Focus group and public meeting feedback Three Questions Dot Exercise Physical analysis of the study area X-rays and Analysis Diagrams Photography and Street Sections

Three Questions: 1. What are the strengths? 2. What are the weaknesses? 3. What are the opportunities?

Strengths of Rosemont 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Nearby amenities: Mt. Trashmore and Little Neck bike path Library and civic institutions Geographically central to the city Low vacancies, investment in Loehmann s and Princess Anne Plaza, and Collins Square Strong neighborhoods: Windsor Oaks, Windsor Woods, Thalia, and Little Neck Diverse and affordable retailers including several grocers Highest bus service level in city along Virginia Beach Boulevard

Strengths of Rosemont (cont.) 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. East-west routes of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Bonney Road Under-utilized land available for redevelopment Low crime Good neighboring schools Potential for Light Rail

Trashmore Park

Weaknesses of Rosemont 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Lack of identity or memorable places Virginia Beach Boulevard and I-264 are barriers Dangerous and confusing intersections such as Rosemont/ Bonney/I-264 and the Little Neck/Rosemont jog Lack of pedestrian accommodation and no usable parks Car-oriented: parking lots and road travel lanes prevail Deterioration of nearby housing stock and lower-end retail properties Completely disconnected neighborhoods south of I-264

Weaknesses of Rosemont (cont.) 8. 9. 10. 11. Poor transitions to northern neighborhoods Lack of transit connections to the neighborhoods Lack of adequate provisions for stormwater runoff Condition of above and underground utilities

Visions for Rosemont 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Connect under and over I-264 Tame Virginia Beach Boulevard Improve I-264 access Make a reason for stopping here Increase land productivity Establish a pedestrian and bicycle realm, connecting uses through trails and open space Provide access to nearby open space amenities such as Mt. Trashmore

Visions for Rosemont (cont.) 8. 9. 10. 11. Create functional open spaces that address recreational and stormwater management needs Create multi-modal access from the transit station to neighborhoods, Mt. Trashmore, and retail Develop mid-rise mixed-use, mixed-income, development Make arterials including and Rosemont safer and more pedestrian friendly

Market Analysis Summary

Regional Projections 1. Virginia Beach s regional share of the office and residential markets has begun to decline 2. 3. Office Projections: Residential Capture Projections : up to 3.5 million SF 17,000-30,000 new households by 2030 4. 59% of recent residential growth has been in 1 and 2 person households 5. Only 50% of 30,000 new unit demand will be for detached single-family homes; 25% will be for-sale townhouses and condominiums, and 25% will be rental apartments

Rosemont Positioning 1. 2. 3. 4. Rosemont is one of the few remaining places in the city, outside of Pembroke, that is ideal for capturing higher-density residential growth Rosemont can become a transit-ready residential village, providing attainable housing that attracts young, well-educated Gen-y households and Boomers looking to downsize Key properties in Rosemont can be redeveloped into mixeduse environments, with community-serving retail and amenities Large scale office development is not as desirable in Rosemont, as it would directly compete with Pembroke and Town for office demand

Permitted Trail Types on-street bike facility off-street facility combined facitiy (on- and off-street accommodations) On-street bike facilities may include striped bike lanes, shared roadways, wide outside lanes, and paved shoulders. These types of accommodations provide alternatives for cyclists, while leaving the sidewalks for pedestrian use. Off-street accommodations separate the biker from the roadway. These types of facilities, which include shared-use paths, soft unpaved paths, and wide sidewalks, are often shared between cyclists and pedestrians. A few primary routes within the City have been designated as combined facilities. These routes have both on- and off-street faciltiies, providing maximum choice and capacity for all types of cyclists.
