1.      UC-1438-07 (ET-0355-09) – TOLL SOUTH LV, LLC:

Held 5-0, until February 10, 2010 with the applicant’s consent

 

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence a residential planned unit development on 8.5 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community.  Generally located 1,000 feet east of Buffalo Drive and 600 feet south of Haleh Avenue within Enterprise. 

 

A ‘hold’ on an extension of time is highly unusual.  The Staff Agenda Sheet did not clearly state what this extension of time accomplishes.  In addition, Major Projects did not explain why they recommended approval when the project had been replotted from 46 parcels to one 8.5 acre parcel. Also, the applicant’s representative could not explain which plot plan applied to this application.  The TAB offered the applicant a choice of ‘recommendation’ or ‘comeback in two weeks’ with a clear explanation of what was being requested.  The applicant elected to come back in two weeks.  PC routine action item agenda item # 7  SB/rk/dl

 

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

Approved 5-0 with conditions:

Change Current Planning staff condition #1 to a six month review as a public hearing

Added conditions:

1.   Parking lot lights to be shielded with 4” shields on the north, east and south side of the fixture.

2.   All outside building light fixtures to be replaced with lighting that is shielded or directed to prevent light from shining onto residential uses.  The lighting source is not visible from residential uses.

3.   On the east and south property lines, the wall and/or fencing and/or screening will be of sufficient height to prevent vehicle headlights from shining onto residential uses.

4.   One internally lit monument sign is permitted along Windmill Lane.

5.   Additional landscaping to be added, one 15 gallon pine tree every 16 ft along Gagnier and the easternmost 150 ft of the south property line.

6.   Gagnier Blvd to be developed using MINIMUM ROAD DESIGN STANDARDS FOR NON-URBAN ROADWAYS (January, 2001).

7.      No amplified sound on the east side.

 

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. 

 

The applicant, residents and SWAN have worked very hard on arriving at this compromise.  The original application (UC-1781-06) called for a 2 year review to ensure the use is compatible with the surrounding area.  The conditions forwarded by the TAB accomplish this objective.  The applicant and the residents submitted a compromise package to the TAB.  The TAB distilled the agreement into enforceable conditions. 

 

A summary of the TAB’s decisions follows:

 

The six month review is an agreement between the applicant and the residents.  The TAB feels this is a reasonable period to gauge the progress and make any adjustment required.

 

Added conditions 1 and 2 are taken from the applicant’s agreement with the residents.  The shields have been tried on two parking lot lights and found to be effective.  The building-mounted lights are being changed to prevent spillover and shield the light source.

 

Added condition 3 differs from the applicant’s suggestion to fix the problem.  The TAB determined the intent is to keep vehicle headlights from shining into the residents to the east.  The current wall in some places (south end) is about 2.5 ft tall and the applicant’s solution would not block the headlights.  Several suggestions were made on how the wall could be changed.  The ‘and/or’ wording is intended to give the applicant cost efficient options in correcting the problem while maintaining the primary objective.  The south wall was included to because of the turnaround at the southern end of the property and possible future development on the applicant’s property.

 

There are currently several signs of different types in front of the church.  Because signs in a residential area require a waiver of standards the TAB added condition #4.  The TAB determined that one internally lit monument sign should be used along Windmill to replace the current signs.  The monument sign with backlighting is better suited for the neighborhood.

 

The additional landscaping will help shield the residents from the parking lot.

 

The applicant and the resident do not want Gagnier to have full offsites.

PC agenda item # 19  SS/al/nd

 

3.      WS-0749-09 – LONGO LOUIS L. AND RANDY C.:

Approved

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the rear setback in conjunction with a single family residence on 0.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Shelbourne Avenue and La Cienega Street within Enterprise.  PC routine action item agenda item # 18   SS/mk/dr

 

4.      WS-0758-09 – SPRATLEY, MARVIN L.:

Approved 5-0 with condition:

The area between the structure and the wall to be capped and/or screened to prevent access by children and animals.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduce rear setback for an existing accessory structure; and

2) Reduce setback from a street for an existing accessory structure

 

in conjunction with a single family residence on 0.4 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Gilespie Street, 250 feet north of Eldorado Lane within Enterprise. 

 

Several TAB members visited this site and found the structure does not distract from the streetscape.  The applicant believed the original contractor was licensed and had obtained the necessary permits.  However, that contractor is now in Brazil. The condition attached is a safety item to prevent a child or a pet from being trapped between the exterior wall and the structure.  PC agenda item # 22  SS/md/dr

DESIGN REVIEW FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence a public facility (public works campus) on a portion of 74.5 acres in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of LeBaron Avenue and the west side of Jones Boulevard within Enterprise. 

 

This is a well-designed project that has been delayed due to the loss of project funds.  Given the severity of the County budget problems, the commence date was extended to three years.  BCC routine action item agenda item # 5   SB/mk/nd

 

6.      WS-1646-05 (ET-0332-09) – BLUE DIAMOND PLAZA, LLC:

BCC AGENDA ITEMS:

 

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

APPEAL USE PERMITS for the following:

1) A convenience store; and

2) Reduced separation on a portion of a commercial center

on 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.

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.)

PC Action - Approved

27.       AG-1391-09:

That the Board of County Commissioners receive and file the report on the Land Use Plan Update Schedule; and direct staff as needed.
