The TAB
discussed, obtained public comment and reviewed the Neighborhood Specialty
Grocery Market amendment to Title 8. The
consensus opinion on the Neighborhood Specialty Grocery Market is this license
type is needed and the license restrictions are appropriate except for the
language below. The TAB authorized the
Chair to write a letter in support of the Title 8 amendment with the following
language removed from the amendment.
“… and provided that the sales of beer, wine

TAB APPROVED per Staff conditions
ADD Current Planning to current conditions:
·
The applicant to prevent any adverse lighting impacts to adjacent
residential uses through several means. These methods include cutoff shields,
screens or baffles on all pole mounted lights. According to the manufacturer of
the community friendly pole mounted lights, all cutoff fixtures meet or exceed
the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America requirements for full
cutoff classification, thus reducing light trespass and glare.
·
The exterior building lighting will consist of custom and standard
wall sconces, recessed up-lights, and accent lighting. All lighting will be shielded or directed to
prevent light from shining onto adjacent residential uses
·
Floodlights, spotlights, or any other similar lighting shall not be
permitted to illuminate buildings facing existing or planned residences
·
No illuminated wall signage on any building elevation facing
existing or planned residences
·
Light poles adjacent to residential uses not to exceed 15 ft. total
height
TAB RECOMMENDED that the block wall on east side of property be
stucco.

The TAB is concerned about the parking for the
following:
·
The
parking is shared between the two facilities
·
School
- 150 parking places
·
Church
– 931 parking places
·
Originally
over 2000 parking places were proposed for shared parking
·
Cactus
cannot handle parking overflow
·
Unless
events are carefully coordinated between the two uses, parking will be a
problem
The TAB has consistently proposed the parking
standard for churches and schools be raised based upon observations and public
comments.
The traffic flow on Cactus will be a problem if
the services are scheduled too close together.
However, the traffic study does not recommend center line barrier to
prevent left hand turns. The church will
have individuals directing traffic. This
solution will not be effective unless the school adopts the same strategy.
Another concern is lighting effects on the
surround residential areas. The TAB
added lighting conditions, accepted by the applicant, to protect the existing
residential areas.
The TAB also suggested the block wall to the
east be stuccoed. This cannot be a
condition because the wall is on the adjacent property and would require the
permission of the property owner for any work done.

The TAB agrees with the staff analysis on this
application. The reductions are a
self-imposed hardship that could be avoided with better planning. If this application is approved, the back
yard could be reduced to 10 X 40. The
two story buildings placed 20 ft apart would produce a canyon effect along the
backyards. This does not create very
desirable living conditions.
The TAB has seen a trend to waive setback
requirements. The claim is, “we do not
have a model that fits.” The question is
why did you purchase the property? The
TAB has been increasingly reluctant to recommend that setbacks be waived.

The TAB considers the back-of-curb return
standard to be a safely item and, as a result, is a standard that should be
strictly enforced. The reduction in
driveway width is an attempt to reduce the back-of-curb return deviation from
the standard. ‘A ten foot wide driveway
maybe sufficient for one car, but is too narrow for two cars. The TAB rejected waiver 2.b. because it
contributed to a reduced safety factor and a 10 ft. wide driveway reduced
parking within the development.
This is a case where the TAB is asked to
approve waivers on a project without being able to make recommendations on the
entire project. The tentative map is an
application which was not sent to the TAB.
The result is the TAB cannot make any recommendations on the entire
neighborhood being proposed.

One observation during the discussion was the

The amendment to the public works conditions

agreed that a new traffic study is not needed because the use is essentially
