ENTERPRISE TOWN ADVISORY BOARD

ZONING AGENDA

 

01/05/10 PC

 

1.      UC-1153-07 (ET-0319-09) – LVPC BDPS, LLC:

APPROVED per Staff conditions but change Current Planning bullet #1 to read:

Until August 20, 2010 to review as a public hearing;

        And add a Current Planning condition to read:

Applicant to establish a direct line of communication with the interested area residents.

 

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to review a compost plant in conjunction with a sand and gravel extraction facility

.

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to permit alternative design standards

.

DESIGN REVIEW for a compost plant on 162.5 acres in an R-U (Rural Open Land) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Jones Boulevard, the south side of Serene Avenue (alignment), and 1,700 feet south of Blue Diamond Road within Enterprise.  SB/dg/nd 

 

UC-1153-07, the original application for the compost facility was approved by the Planning Commission (PC) in November 2007.  It was subject to a review of the impacts upon residential properties to the east.  The area to the east is developing as a residential area with the potential for several hundred residents within a short distance of this facility. 

 

Several area residents are concerned with odors in the area.  There was formal complaint filed and several calls to TAB members about the odor over the last year.  The compost plant has been in operation about 2 years, yet the operator stated they are still refining how the compost is processed.  The impression given to the TAB was this is a work in progress.

 

The TAB believes there is not enough information to deny the use at this time.  However, the use does need to be closely monitored.   The August 20, 2009 review should give the operator enough time to solve their process problems and expose the compost operation to the summer heat. 

 

The condition for direct communication with the area residents should accomplish one of two things.  First, area residents find the compost operation is not the source of the odor and accept the project.  Second, the compost is the odor source and the use permit needs to be terminated due to the residential development in the area and inability to control the odor.  The code enforcement reaction time is too slow to identify the odor noted by the residents. When the odors occur, the residents end up talking to an answering machine.  The PC routine action item agenda item # 6

 

2.      UC-0645-09 – GOOD SAMARITAN LUTHERAN CHURCH:

The applicant did not appear

TAB HELD until such time as the applicant can appear before the TAB

 

HOLDOVER USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) An existing place of worship; and

2) An existing day care facility on 3.3 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Full off-sites (excluding paving) along Gagnier Boulevard; and

2) Eliminate landscaping and screening requirements to a less intense use.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) An existing place of worship; and

2) An existing day care facility. 

 

Generally located on the south side of Windmill Lane and the west side of Gagnier Boulevard within Enterprise.  SS/al/nd  PC routine action item agenda item # 12

 

3.      UC-0680-09 – RAINBOW ROBINDALE CENTER, USA, LLC:

TAB DENIED 2-0 Use Permits #1 and #2 due to the proximity of the convenience store to adjacent residences.  (F. Kopriva and J. Dapper qualified abstention.)

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) A convenience store; and

2) Reduced separation on a portion of 1.8 acres

 

in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Robindale Road within Enterprise.  SS/jr/nd 

 

The TAB decision was based on several factors.  First, this is a 24 hour operation in a C-1 zone district.  Second, there is a better location on the property for a convenience store.  The building on the southeast corner of the property has the same square footage and use would be shielded from the residents by the in-line building.  Third, a 24 hour convenience store 15 feet from residents’ backyards is not acceptable.  

 

The TAB understands economic conditions are bad and our developers need help.  However, bending the development standards should be done with a great deal of caution.  If we help a developer by bending the development standards and hurt a neighborhood, a long term problem has been created.  PC routine action item agenda item # 15

8.      ZC-0656-09 – EL DORADO-VALLEY VIEW, LLC:

TAB APPROVED Zone Change to C-P

TAB DENIED Waivers of Development Standards #1 and #2

TAB DENIED Design Review

The requested zone change to M-D and the associated Waivers and Design Review are too intense and intrusive on the existing adjacent low density residential neighborhood.

 

HOLDOVER ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 7.2 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) (AE-60) Zone to M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-60) Zone for an office warehouse development

.

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Allow an alternative landscape buffer with an attached sidewalk along Valley View Boulevard where a landscape buffer per Figure 30.64-17 or 18 with detached sidewalk is required; and

2) Permit accesses to a local residential street (El Dorado Lane) where not permitted.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for an office warehouse facility.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Valley View Boulevard and El Dorado Lane within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/al/dr 

 

This is a very controversial item.  The applicant wants a zone change to light manufacturing and to extend the current warehouse east of the parcel.  The residents are opposed to this project. They feel the project does not fit into a residential area. 

 

The applicant has made some changes to the first design presented.  These changes are based on discussions with SWAN after the neighborhood meeting.  However, these changes did not significantly alter use, size or bulk of the project.   It should be noted the original warehouse buildings to the east were opposed by the TAB as being too intense for the neighborhood.

 

The TAB felt this project would be detrimental to the established residential neighborhood.  The Enterprise policy to preserve and enhance residential neighborhoods is not met by this project.   Placing a manufacturing zone district next to a low level residential zone district is too great a difference to provide a good transition from one use to another.

 

The TAB is strongly opposed to this project.  BCC agenda item # 20
