HOLDOVER APPLICATIONS

 

H-1   WS-0620-10 – MORLEY, COREY & SALLY:

         HELD to April 27, 2011 per request of applicant.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for reduced setbacks in conjunction with a proposed 8 lot single family residential subdivision on 1.0 acre in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Levi Avenue and the west side of Charismatic Court within Enterprise.  SB/mc/ml

 

ATTACHMENT A

04/19/11 PC

 

1.      VC-0203-91 (ET-0020-11) – MORTENSEN PROPERTIES, LLC:

APPROVED per Staff if approved conditions

ADD Current Planning conditions:

   Design Review as a Public Hearing for significant changes;

   Review of Waiver on May 7, 2018.

 

VARIANCES FIFTH EXTENSION OF TIME to complete the following:

 

1) Permit 6 foot high chain link fencing within a corner sight zone where 2.5 feet high is permitted; and

2) Waive the 6 foot minimum depth of landscaping along the Cougar Avenue frontage

 

in conjunction with a plant nursery including a 1,250 square foot commercial building and a future greenhouse.

 

WAIVER for off-site improvement requirements on 1.0 acre in an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Cameron Street, 300 feet south of Blue Diamond Road within Enterprise.  SS/mc/ml

 

The Extension of Time only applies to the off-site improvements waiver.  The owner has not been able to install the required off-sites due to the current business down turn.  The TAB was concerned with and discussed the following:

·   The landscape Use Permit is valid until May 7, 2018

·   During the last land use plan, the area south of Cougar was planned for residential

·   The current zoning is H-2

·   The current traffic demand is adequately accommodated with the current road configuration.

·   The off-sites are built in the future

·   Residential is abutting to the south and west

 

The Public Works condition for a restrictive covenant allows the County to demand the off-sites be installed in the future.  The TAB recommended two additional conditions.  First, a design review as a public hearing because the current H-2 zone district could allow a different business to be established on this property.  The public hearing would help ensure compatibility with the abutting residential.  Second, the waiver review date brings the use permit and the waiver in sync. The applicant agreed to both conditions.

 

2.      VS-0078-11 – SILVER CREEK I, LLC:

         APPROVED per Staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Tenaya Way and Monte Cristo Way (alignment), and between Warm Springs Road and Scottish Castle Avenue in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/mc/ml

 

04/20/11 BCC

 

3.      UC-0287-09 (ET-0217-10) – PETERSEN SOUTH DEVELOPMENT, LLC:

APPROVED per Current Planning conditions

ADD Current Planning condition:

   Design Review as a Public Hearing for significant changes.

 

HOLDOVER USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to review outside storage to be stacked above the height of the screen wall in conjunction with an existing storage yard on 4.6 acres in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Duneville Street, 300 feet north of Mesa Verde Lane within Enterprise.  ss/co/ml

 

This area is in transition.  The Pinnacle Peaks Master Plan designated the area around this storage yard as light manufacturing.  However, residential development has been slowly reducing the manufacturing area.  The TAB added a recommendation for a Design Review as a public hearing to help ensure compatibility with the surrounding residential.  The applicant agreed to this condition.

 

4.      VS-0057-11 – RANDALL, GEORGE & DARLENE REVERSIONARY TRUST:

APPROVED per Staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Erie Avenue and Bakewell Avenue, and between Coorumby Street and Cochiti Lake Street in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/tc/ml

 

5.      WS-0056-11 – RANDALL, GEORGE & DARLENE REVERSIONARY TRUST:

The Town Board approved the application per staff conditions with recommendations as follows:

 

·   WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 1): APPROVE

·   WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 2): ALLOW ROLL CURB IF PERMITTED BY DRAINAGE STUDY;

·   WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 3): APPROVE

·   WAIVERS OF CONDITIONS 3): APPROVE

 

ADD Public Works condition:

   Right-of-way dedication per requirements of ZC-0897-06, VS-0899-06

 

Motion APPROVED

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

1) Increased wall height;

2) Allow alternative off-site improvements (curb and gutter type);

3) And reduced street off-set.

 

WAIVERS OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-0897-06) requiring the following:

 

1) Access to the paseo and 15 foot wide easement be provided along the north and south sides of the development site, if easement is required;

2) Right-of-way dedication to also include up to 40 feet for Tenaya Paseo/drainage right-of-way; and

3) Driveway length to be a minimum of 20 feet

 

in conjunction with a proposed single family subdivision on 5.0 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Erie Avenue, 25 feet east of Coorumby Street within Enterprise.  SB/tc/ml

 

This item generated significant discussion between the applicant, residents and the TAB.  The central point of contention is what standards should be applied to the outparcels in Mountain’s Edge.  The Tenaya Paseo/drainage has been developed to eighty feet with landscaping and other open space amenities.  The applicant would prefer to not dedicate land to paseo and use the land for additional houses.

 

         The TAB was concerned with and discussed the following:

·   The BCC NOFA on ZC-0897-06 indicted the property should be developed using Mountain’s Edge standards

·   This property will set a precedent for other outparcels within the Mountain’s Edge Master Plan area.

·   The Paseo is open space for the area residents

·   The applicant stated the project would have an HOA

·   Public Works does not want responsibility for this section of the Paseo

·   The standard practice in Mountain’s Edge is the open space is the responsibility of the HOA

·   In Mountain’s Edge, open space is landscaped by the developer and turned over to the HOA.

·   The park fees collected will go to the County general fund not the Mountain’s Edge park fund.

·   Reduced Paseo width may present repair problems for the Mountain’s Edge Master HOA

·   Residents to the east were expecting an 80 ft. Paseo and may have paid a premium for their lots.

 

The TAB opinion is the standards established for Mountain’s Edge should be maintained to produce consistent neighborhoods.  Outparcel development must be consistent with those standards.  The Tenaya Paseo should be consistent throughout its entire length in design and width.  The Waiver of Conditions #2 should not be granted.
