ATTACHMENT A
1. UC-0159-12 – FISHER HOLDING
COMPANY, LLC:
HOLDOVER
APPEAL USE PERMIT to allow

streets and a residential development in conjunction with an existing
convenience store and car wash on 1.7 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial)
Zone. Generally
located on the east side of
Denied 4-0
Applicant was unable to create a plan
where the truck storage could not be seen from the street or from homes. Noise
mitigation was not addressed for nearby residences. He proposed a short-term
approval with review to see if anyone objected, saying the trucks could be
removed thereafter. As there was no way presented to be in compliance the board
chose denial.
2. NZC-0331-12 – WESTMONT, INC:
USE PERMIT for a senior housing facility.
DESIGN REVIEW for a senior housing facility on 3.7 acres. Generally located on the
north side of
Denied 4-0
1 neighbor
appeared in favor of the proposal, 1 neighbor opposed. The TAB acknowledged a
well-planned housing proposal, but questioned the increased density and 1.4
acre C-2 element. These did not comply with various land use plans and
policies. The comment from board members was this was a good proposal in a bad
location that was simply not appropriate. TAB concurred with staff
recommendations.
3. UC-0025-12 – SOUTHERN
USE PERMIT for a congregate care facility.
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDRADS to allow access to a local
street where access to an arterial or collector street is required.

with the staff recommendations

5. WS-0292-12 – ST.
MICHAEL ANTIOCHIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH:
WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) allow
a place of worship to be accessed from a local street where access from a
collector or arterial street is required; 2) alternative landscaping
standards adjacent to a less intensive use; 3) increase the height of a
decorative block wall; 4) increase the height of a decorative fence; and
5) reduced setback.
DESIGN REVIEW for a previously approved place of worship on 2.1 acres
in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (AE-60) Zone in the
Approved
4-0 with additional
waiver of wall on west side of proposal as the church has now acquired the
abutting parcel and is considering expansion options. Any
such proposal to be brought back before the TAB.
NOTE***
The TAB did not
consider a condition on the west wall to require its construction should the
parcel be developed or sold as currently zoned residential or similar use. The
6. ZC-0277-12 – BASE PROPERTIES, LLC:
WAIVERS
OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the
following: 1) allow tandem parking
spaces where not allowed; 2) waive
screening required of mechanical equipment; and 3) waive trash enclosure requirement.
DESIGN REVIEW to convert an existing single family dwelling into an office
building. Generally
located on the north side of
Denied 3-1
The applicant’s representative was
aggressively rude and dismissive of questions raised by the TAB members. We
attempted to understand various issues involving requested waivers and traffic.
With responses such as “Oh, get real…” and “Come on…” and “I’ve never seen such
behavior…” he was admonished by the chair to stop being rude. He accused the
board of being rude. Unable to get clarity on issues related to the waivers and
traffic concerns, the board voted 3-1 to deny. At that point the representative
leaned over our table and resorted to name-calling and other confrontational
behavior.
