This application was held for a neighborhood
meeting. The result of that meeting is a
significantly changed project in response to the neighbor’s comments. The building height was reduced from 30 to 26
ft. and the cross height does not exceed the 35 ft. standard for the
neighborhood. The building size remained
at 7,616 sq. ft. The building was moved
to the south with the front facing Robindale.
This building placement negates the requirement for use permit #2a. The parking lot was redesigned.
The plan submitted to the TAB was a new plan
and has not been evaluated by Staff. The
design presented is the best to date.
The TAB considerations were:
·
Applicant
response to neighborhood comments
·
How
does the current plan fit into the neighborhood?
·
This
property most likely will be used as a place of worship for 30 to 50 years.
·
7600
sq. ft. building is not excessive on 1.3 acres.
·
The
reduction in height reduces the mass of the building
·
Neighbor’s
solar panels on the eastern property line are not affected.
·
Federal
requirements for a place of worship.
·
Given
the history of this project, there should be a review period.
·
The
neighbors are concerned with:
o
How
are the conditions enforced?
o
Outside

o

o

The TAB added a number of conditions to
address the neighborhood concerns and the applicant agreed with the added
conditions. It should be noted that
these conditions were previously approved by the Planning Commission.

The plans show a 2,513 square foot, 2 story,
33 ft. high addition to an existing 4,919 square foot residence. The TAB opinion was split on this application.
The factors considered by the TAB were:
·
There
were two letters submitted by neighbors in favor of the project.
·
This
would place a 33 ft. high building 5 ft. off the property line in a rural
neighborhood where the setbacks are larger.
·
The
lot to the north is not developed and this application could affect how the property
is developed and its value.
·
Applicant
stated the adjoining property has built a similar project as accessory
structure (did not require any waivers).
This accessory structure is a single story RV garage.
The two TAB opinions were:
·
The
project has neighbor approval and should be allowed
·
The
project is too large and too close to the property line and should not be
permitted.

Pardee has designed an open neighborhood rather
than the typical walled-in neighborhood we see in the RNP areas. The design has been greatly influenced by the
area residents who have been involved with the developer since the project’s
inception. The gated and walled neighborhoods
in RNPs may have large lots, but they serve to break up the RNP into small sub-divisions.
The open design of this project is tied to the
reduction of Pebble (CP-1154—10). Houses
can front on a local street (60 ft. right-of-way) but, not on a collector or
arterial street (80 and 100 ft. right-of-way).
The reduction of Pebble is critical to the success of this project. The reduction allows the development of an
innovative neighborhood.

·

The TAB has a history of using 18,000 sq. ft.
lot size as the low end for the RNP. The
required dedications for public roads reduce lot size below the RNP standard of
20,000 sq. ft.
The waiver of development standards #3 is
required because the setback is measured from the right-of-way for a public road. By locating the house closer to the front
allows for a larger back yard. This
waiver is needed for only the single story models. All other setbacks are met.
Waiver of Development Standards #4a: Pardee and local residents desire to develop
this area as a true rural area without curbs and gutters. There is a possibility the drainage study may
require curbs and gutters in some locations.
By granting the waiver at this time, they will not have to come back

is not approved (CP-1154—10). Houses can
front on a local street (60 ft. right-of-way) but, not on a collector or
arterial street (80 and 100 ft. right-of-way).
The effect of keeping Pebble as an arterial is a walled community,
because the access to the home must be taken from an interior road where the
backyards will face Pebble.

The Waiver of Development Standards #2 generated
considerable discussion among the TAB members due to the six lots that are

The TAB has used 18,000 sq. ft. to offset the dedication required for
public streets. The opportunity to
create an open neighborhood and set an example for further RNP development set
this project apart. The location of the
six lots was an additional factor in the TAB decision. It is highly unlikely that another project
would have a sufficiently innovative design to warrant a similar reduction.
The Waiver of Development Standards #3 is
