REGULAR BUSINESS

1.      Approve the Agenda with any corrections, deletions or changes.  Approved

 

2.      Approve the Minutes for the meeting held on July 28, 2010.  Approved

 

3.      Discuss and authorize the TAB chair to write a letter in support of an ordinance to amend Title 8.20.020.081 for a new liquor license category, Neighborhood Grocery Market, and to amend section 8.20.020.265 to allow a Neighborhood Grocery Market to be eligible for a Package Beer, Wine.  The ordinance was introduced and scheduled for a public hearing on August 17, 2010.  The BCC has directed a working group be formed to review this ordinance and several others.

 

The Neighborhood Specialty Grocery Market ordinance most likely will not be heard on August 17, 2010 Regular BCC meeting.  Still under discussion is how to calculate the amount of display space allowed for alcohol beverages.  The current proposed standard is based upon sales volume which is very difficult to enforce.  Under discussion is using a cubic foot standard calculated from the size of the store.  A 1200 sq. ft. store would be allowed 60 cubic feet of alcohol display space.

5.            WS-0330-10 – WESTERN SKIES HOLDINGS, LLC:

TAB NO RECOMMENDATION 2-1 (Andoscia abstained, Dapper - nay) to deny the Waiver of Development Standards.

After further TAB discussion

TAB APPROVED (Andoscia abstained) per Staff conditions

ADD Current Planning condition:

Construct 4 foot high block wall esthetically compatible with block walls on adjacent properties.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to eliminate the freeway buffer wall in conjunction with a commercial development on 2.3 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the east side of Dean Martin Drive, 650 feet south of Starr Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/gc/ed

 

During a zoning inspection of the property, it was discovered that the required freeway buffer wall was not in place as required per Title 30. The applicant, therefore, is requesting to waive the 6 foot high decorative block wall that is required along the east property line adjacent to Interstate 15 (I-15).

 

The TAB was initially split on this item.  One side agreed with the staff analysis and wanted the block wall to be built for the following:

·      All the other properties in the area have a block wall

·      Safety factor, to prevent headlights from shining on to I-15 traffic.

·      A 6ft wall would not impede I-15 traffic from seeing the property.

·      Consistency of look for the Las Vegas gateway

 

The other side wanted to approve the waiver.

·      Did not feel a wall was required in this area.

·      The twisted wire current in place was adequate.

 

The TAB members compromised with a recommendation for a 4 ft. wall.

 

6.            WS-0343-10 – RED LIVING TRUST:

TAB APPROVED (Brandonisio - nay) per Current Planning conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the rear yard setback for an addition to a single family residence on 0.2 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Diamond Wood Court, 225 feet south of Forest Shadow Avenue within Enterprise. ss/mc/ed

WAIVERS for the following:

 

1) modify private street width; and

2) reduction of street off-set

 

in conjunction with a single family subdivision on 29.3 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Fort Apache Road and Sherwood Greens Drive within Spring Valley and Enterprise.  SB/rk/ed

 

8.            ZC-0346-10 – RHODES RANCH, G.P.:

TAB APPROVED per Staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify an approximate 29.3 acre site from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone and R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone under Resolution of Intent to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone both within a P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in conjunction with a residential single family subdivision in the Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the northeast corner Fort Apache Road and Sherwood Greens Drive within Spring Valley and Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/ed

 

This request is for a non-conforming zone change based on the adopted Specific Plan for Rhodes Ranch which designated the subject property as Mixed Use which requires a mix of residential uses( 900 +) and a range of commercial activities on site. The owner is now requesting to have the property zoned for a single family residential subdivision with no commercial component. More specifically, this request is for 224 single family lots on 29.3 acres for a density of 7.6 dwelling units per acre.

 

09/08/10 BCC

 

9.            WS-0326-10 – FIVE ACRE PARCEL INVESTORS, LLC:

TAB APPROVED per Staff conditions

ADD Current Planning condition:

The north wall sign be unlit.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow alternative street landscaping.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-1584-98) requiring right-of-way dedication to include 30 feet for Ford Avenue west of Edmond Street and a portion of a knuckle at Edmond Street.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) a tire sales and installation facility (Big O Tires) with automobile maintenance and repair; and

2) wall signs on 1.0 acre

 

in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the north side of Blue Diamond Road and the east side of Edmond Street within Enterprise.  ss/pb/ed

 

This is a good design, it matches the Walgreen’s and Carl’s Jr. to the east.  This will produce a consistent looking set of retail stores in the area. 

The one concern was the illuminated wall sign on the north building face.  Experience has demonstrated illuminated wall signs orientated away from the main thoroughfare have intended consequences and do little to advertise the business. The TAB added a condition that the wall sign on the north side not be illuminated and the applicant agreed with this condition.
