PUBLIC COMMENTS AND DISCUSSION
COMMENTS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND DISCUSSION:
No action may be taken upon a matter raised
under this item of the agenda until the matter itself has been specifically
included on a future agenda.
1.The
Chair announced that the TAB is looking for capital budget items for the 2010
County Budget. The Silverado Ranch
paving and the traffic signal at Decatur and Silverado Ranch was an item
recommended by the TAB last year. The
recommendation resulted in Commissioner Brager placing a higher priority on the
project which is nearing completion.
2.Susan Ivy Allen, President of the Southwest Action
Network, submitted a statement clarifying the function, purpose, and activities
of SWAN. There have been instances of
individuals stating they have the concurrence of SWAN when all they have done
is talked to SWAN. The following is part
of the presentation to the TAB.
Who is authorized to represent SWAN?
Anyone representing SWAN's position at a meeting will state, "I am
speaking on behalf of the SWAN Board of Directors.” They will present a SWAN memorandum on the
above letterhead. SWAN's many members
may reference the organization, but do not necessarily represent its position. Generally speaking, SWAN does not have a
formal position at the TAB level, but is working (like the TAB) to determine
the solution most acceptable to residents.
Is SWAN political?
No. SWAN is a 501(C) 3 nonprofit
corporation, serving the community for over a decade. It is independent of developers, the BCC, PC,
County Staff and all TABs or CACs. SWAN
is issue- driven, responding to requests for information, training, and
assistance with the land use process.
More information on SWAN can be found on their web site. http://www.lvswan.org

ATTACHMENT
A
Note:
The TAB has changed the approval verbiage for staff conditions. When there is a “no comment” by one staff
agency, the TAB will specify the staff conditions as being approved. This is necessary because some staff “no
comments” are changed to a set of conditions after the TAB has reviewed the
application. The statement of “per staff
conditions” indicates the TAB has reviewed all staff conditions.

Two TAB members visited this site. There did not appear to be any construction
activity on the property. There were
several trailers and other pieces of small equipment on the site. The applicant’s representative stated the
foundation had been constructed and the vertical construction could begin
within 60 days. The TAB felt a one year
extension was more than adequate. PC routine action item agenda item # 4

Districts. Generally located
on the south side of Sunset Road and the west side of Torrey Pines Drive
(alignment) within
Enterprise. RR/dg/nd
The TAB had some concern with the signage facing
north being highly visible to the residents north of Post. The applicant is proposing 2 sets of 6 foot
high illuminated channel letters that have white acrylic faces and are LED
illuminated. The TAB noted the Pepsi
plant loading area is facing Post and has far more lights than the proposed
signs. BCC routine action item agenda item # 3

Design Review as a
Public Hearing
ZONE
CHANGE SECOND EXTENSION OF TIME to reclassify 5.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone
to C-1 (Local Business) Zone for a shopping center. Generally located on the
southeast corner of Buffalo Drive and Windmill Lane within Enterprise (description on file). SS/dg/dr
The plans submitted with the original
application in 2003 depicted a shopping center covering the subject parcel and
the 2.4 acre parcel immediately to the east.
However, in 2006, a new design review was approved on the 2.4 acre
parcel that consisted of a 30,000 sq ft office center. The 2.4 acre parcel is under separate
ownership and is proceeding separately from this 5 acre parcel even though,
overall, the parcels are under the same zone change. The owners of the 2.4 acre parcel recently
submitted an extension of time on this zone change for their portion of the
overall development. Staff recommended
removing the time limit since the land use plan designates the property as
Commercial Neighborhood, which is consistent with the current C-1 zoning. However, the Board of County Commissioners
considered the item and imposed a 1 year time limit to complete the
project.
The ‘extension of time’ is under greater scrutiny by the
BCC. This is resulting in shorter
extensions being granted. The TAB has
seen extensions for as long as ten years.
After several years, the question becomes is the original project still viable
or is the applicant not examining the project in light of current conditions. The project above is an example. BCC routine action item agenda item # 14

routine action item agenda item # 29
Additional items to be heard by the PC or
BCC. These items were previously heard
by the Enterprise TAB or went directly to the PC/BCC.
PC ROUTINE ACTION AGENDA:
Any person who does
not agree with the conditions recommended by staff or TAB and all applicable
standard conditions for the application type, should request that the item be
removed from this portion of the agenda and be heard separately when directed
by the Planning Commission.
No
additional items of interest to Enterprise
PC AGENDA:
14. AG-1104-09:
That the
Planning Commission discuss reducing the number of Planning Commission meetings;
and direct staff accordingly.
As part of the
continuing County wide effort to reduce costs, it is being proposed to reduce
the number of Planning Commission (PC) meetings from four per month to two per month. There has been a significant decrease in the
number of new applications resulting in shorter meeting times. Cost savings will come from reduced overtime,
Planning Commission honorarium, notification costs, and food. This savings is estimated to be $15,000 per
year. There may be additional savings
realized in other departments such as Development Services, Public Information,
and Real Property Management.
The Planning Commission
currently meets on the first and third Tuesdays and Thursdays of each month
starting at 7:00 p.m. Staff proposes to meet on the first and
third Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. with the PC briefing occurring on that same day but
starting at 6:00 p.m.
Staff
requests to combine the PC meetings beginning with the December 1, 2009
meeting.
No
additional items of interest to Enterprise
BCC ROUTINE ACTION AGENDA ITEMS (Morning):
Any person who does not agree with the conditions recommended by
staff, Planning Commission or TAB and all applicable standard conditions for
the application type, should request that the item be removed from this portion
of the agenda and be heard separately when directed by the Board of County
Commission.

BCC AGENDA ITEMS:
30. TM-0062-09 - SILVERTON A COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION:
TENTATIVE MAP for
a commercial subdivision on 93.0 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment)
Zone and an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) (AE-60) (AE-65) Zone in the
MUD-2 Overlay District. Generally located on the south side of Blue
Diamond Road and the east and west sides of Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise. SS/ar/dr
32. VS-1372-04 (WC-0215-09) – RHODES RANCH, G.P.:
HOLDOVER WAIVERS OF CONDITIONS of a vacation and abandonment requiring:
1) constructing paved legal access across the Blue Diamond Wash along the
Seeliger Street alignment, the terminus of which is to be approximately 200
feet south of Ford Avenue; and
2) associated construction plans to include said paving and crossing on
Seeliger Street to have a minimum clearance of 14 feet
on approximately 57.0 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C
(Planned Community Overlay) Zone in Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community.
Generally located on the south side of Wigwam Avenue (alignment) and the
east side of Fort Apache Road in Spring Valley and Enterprise. SB/rk/dr
The purpose of the application is to delete Rhodes’ commitment
to build the Seelinger Bridge and the associated bonds (Agenda item # 33, WT-0143-09 – RHODES RANCH, GP). This bridge is necessary for the north/south circulation
patterns for vehicles and pedestrians, including school children from Rhodes
Ranch. The Durango-Blue Diamond Public
Facilities Plan has three schools (2 elementary and 1 middle school) and park
facilities south of the wash.
Note: The recently
adopted Enterprise Land Use Plan has the following general policy:
Chapter 4, Goal 1, Policy 1.13
Where applicable, all
projects should provide cross access for schools, residential areas, recreation
areas and commercial areas. Circulation
systems should also integrate with existing and proposed regional and community
equestrian and multiple use trail systems, parks and open space.
There is a concern
that elimination of this critical bridge will make it much harder to follow the
above policy. One result is increased
vehicle traffic because young children will have to walk long distances along
arterial roads to get to and from school.
It highly unlikely that parents will allow their children to do so.
The bridge over the
wash must include a pedestrian path with access to the southern part of Rhodes
Ranch.
33. WT-0143-09 – RHODES RANCH, GP:
HOLDOVER WAIVER to extend the time limit for an improvement bond in conjunction with a
residential development in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone, and an R-2
(Medium Density Residential) Zone all in a P-C (Planned Community Overlay
District) Zone in the Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community. Generally
located 1,950 feet east of Fort Apache Road, on the south side of Wigwam Avenue
(alignment) within Spring Valley and Enterprise. SB/co/co
This is the current improvement bond for the Seeliger
Bridge. Once this bond is released, it
may be very difficult to have this bridge built. It is possible that this area could be
removed from the Rhodes Ranch Master Plan and developed as small projects. This would make it very difficult or
impossible for the County to collect the funds necessary to build the bridge.
41. AG-1063-09:
That the Board of County Commissioners discuss reducing the number of
Planning Commission meetings; and direct staff accordingly. See PC agenda
item # 14 for explanation.
42. CP-0613-09:
Confirmation to the Board of County Commissioners that the Clark County
Planning Commission received a report on the changes made by the Board of
County Commissioners to the Certified Draft of the Spring Valley Land Use Plan.
