Shore Drive Condo (Marlin Bay) Project: Questions and Answers at OPCL Meeting

At the Thursday May 7 meeting, we welcomed Carrie Bookholt, Deputy Director of Planning and Marchelle Coleman, Planning Evaluation Coordinator and Staff Planner for the Marlin Bay Project from the City of Virginia Beach Planning Department. They gave an overview of the Development Process and the Discretionary Approval Process. (see slides below) and answered questions about the Marlin Bay Project. The staff review process is not completed so they could not answer all the questions. The Staff Report and recommendations will be available the week before the Planning Commission hearing.

The project will likely come before the Planning Commission June 10. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will make the ultimate decision when the project comes before them.

Everyone who would like to express concerns and opinions of the project are encouraged to write a letter to the Planning Commission (PlanningCommissioners@vbgov.com) and/ or speak at the June 10  meeting. Your input is welcome and important.
