The staff recommended this application be
denied based upon the following. County
records indicate little progress has been made to finalize
operations of the approved uses; however, the applicant continues to operate.
The applicant detailed the current status of
the licenses and permits required for this business. There are two areas that need to be completed
before the final permits and licenses can be issued. First, the building permits issued in 2005
did not have the final inspections completed.
A new contractor has been hired to obtain the final inspections. This will clear one factor blocking the
issuance of the business licenses.
Second, the domestic well conversion to a commercial well is taking
longer than expected. Once the NV Water
Resource Engineer has issued a commercial well permit, the septic can be
converted to a commercial system.
The TAB recommendation is the extension of
time should be granted for a limited period for the following:
·
Original
application was thoroughly reviewed by the TAB.
·
The
neighbors supported the use as a banquet facility
·
No
complaints.
·

The applicant should make significant progress

One letter of protest was submitted to the TAB. The letter questioned sufficient notice,
tower placement, health effects, aesthetics and effects on property values.
The discussion on this application centered on
the placement of the cell tower. The pros
and cons were discussed for several locations on the property. The TAB concluded the proposed location would
have the least impact on the RNP to the north.
Due to the close proximity of residential, the
TAB added a condition for daytime use of the axillary generator.

HOA representatives were initially opposed to
this application. Their concern was the
property would be converted into a commercial location. The concern was fueled by the use permit
description on the notice card. The TAB
explained what a home based business is and how it is defined in Title 30. The Title 30 intent is to allow a business to
run within a home without disturbing the neighborhood. Some of the Title 30
restrictions are:
·
Requires
business license
·
No
clients or customers shall come to the residence,
·
No
signs
·
No
advertising on parked vehicles
·
No
warehousing
The TAB explained the neighborhood should not
see any evidence of a business. This is reinforced
with two Current Planning conditions:
·
Bus
shall not be brought to or stored at the residence;
·
No
non-family member employees shall work or meet at the residence;
The one year review was added to insure the
neighbors can have their voice heard if the if the Current Planning conditions
are not met.

are 123 parking places which should be sufficient to accommodate the plant

end that can be used. Future expansion
will need a waiver for parking which requires a public hearing.

The
TAB considers a convenience store and service station appropriate for this
location.
The
TAB concerns are:
·
Undeveloped portion of the property
zoned C-2 next to residential without plans.
·
Lighting and signage plans were not presented.
·
Cross access to the west is provided
for future development.
·
Vehicle access to the undeveloped area
is restricted.
If
the entire property was zoned C-2, there would be little control over what
could be placed on the undeveloped portion adjacent to the residential. C-2 has too many intense uses that are
considered by right and do not require a public hearing. The TAB recommended
the zoning be split:
·
The developed portion as C-2 which
allows the project to proceed.
·
The undeveloped portion as C-1 to
provide better control of uses next to residential.
Most
uses, not compatible with adjacent residential, would require a Special Use
permit to be developed in a C-1 zone district.
Given the shape and size of the undeveloped portion, it is unlikely it
will be used for a business in the near future.
Another
concern is the vehicle access to the undeveloped portion. The TAB recommended vehicle access to be blocked
with the method to be determined by the developer’s engineer.
Cross
access to the west is necessary for future development in the area. The
The
lighting and signage may have a significant impact on surrounding
residential. Without specific plans
presented, the TAB added the condition for a public hearing.
