Parking is needed for the church. The parking lot design
presented had one entrance on Placid. The TAB opinion was a traffic jam
would be created as people exited from the current church parking lot and the
new parking lot. The other question raised was safe crossing of
pedestrian traffic generated by the parking lot west of Placid.
The day care is a small facility for 15 to 30 children. The
applicant had the plot plan and no other documentation for the day care.
The applicant also stated that plans could change as the state reviewed the
child care plans. The TAB has seen a number of child care facility plans
presented. They are very detailed with plot plans, elevations and
landscaping details. The TAB held this item for the lack of plans and

This is a non-conforming zone change. It is due to the designation
of the entire site as Commercial Regional. This zone change request is for a
gated 320 unit apartment complex on a 13 acre portion of an overall 18 acre
site. The developer is requesting to have a portion of that property zoned R-4
(multi-family), while leaving the remaining 5 acres along Rainbow Boulevard and
Windmill Lane as commercial. The density of the subdivision is shown at 24.6
dwelling units per acre. The majority of the buildings will be 3 stories in
height with 2 story units along the rear portion of the project. The complex
will provide one and two bedroom units.

an acceptable project for the neighbors. The only opposition was from one
neighbor who was not involved in the negotiations. The neighbors
requested an eight foot high wall with 18" of wrought iron on top, instead
of the standard six foot wall, as a security measure. The yards next to
this project have been used as a getaway path for robberies that occur in the

This project is a 13 lot subdivision with lot sizes from slightly
over 18,000 ft to 29,000 ft. There was a lot of discussion about security
as the justification for a gated, walled-in subdivision. However,
security is more a function of having sufficient METRO presence than in how a
project is constructed. In some cases, high-end, gated subdivisions
become targets for crooks. This project has the potential to change the
nature of this RNP. The

The pedestrian realm is required for a mixed use development
project. The original design of the project showed a 15 ft wide, curved
walkway with trees, benches and other pedestrian-oriented items. This is
a very nice feature to have on the border of the project. It is also
expensive to develop and maintain.
NDOT requires the property owner to maintain the pedestrian realm
and enter into a maintenance agreement. It appears the maintenance cost
is what the applicant is trying to avoid. This is too bad because a very
nice project just became less so. BCC agenda item # 41

The plans depict 3 proposed structures that will be utilized as a
place of worship consisting of a 41,400 square foot, single story, 38.5 foot
high place of worship, a 34,400 square foot, single story, 34 foot high parish hall,
and a 60 foot high bell tower and religious decorative feature (cross). The
applicant is requesting a use permit to allow an increase in height. No
justification was given as to why the height regulations should be waived. The
place of worship will have a 2,000 seat sanctuary and the parish hall will have
an 800 seat altar room. The structures will be located on the northern and
western portions of the site with parking in the southeast and northeast.
The proposed design is too large for the site. This use
permit needs to be conditioned as follows:
1. The max size of the sanctuary is 1000- seats.
2. No
parking waivers
3. Primary traffic access--Lindell South to
Serene then west to Jones
4. Traffic mitigation for the entire RNP
5. The applicant pays for all traffic and mitigation.
The applicant plans a regional church that would impact the entire
RNP and change its character if this project is built with the current design.
BCC: Afternoon Session
Items 47, 48, and 49 were
heard by the BCC one month ago. At the time, the BCC was reluctant to
vacate Rancho Destino between Shelbourne
and Windmill, which was a major factor in the project. So far I do not
know if this item will be heard on Wednesday (November 7) or not. If you
are interested plan to be there or send me an email with your opinion.
After much discussion and some confusion SWAN is opposed to the proposed road
closure, which would simply throw excess traffic onto parallel streets in the
RNP.
