·
The Chair noted the
quality of presentations to the TAB has deteriorated in the last few
months. The applicants are not very familiar
with their project or lack visual aids when presenting to the TAB. One applicant during this meeting was not
aware the application included a Design Review until a TAB member brought it
up. Another applicant did not have
elevations to support their waiver request.
One solution is to hold the item until the applicant is bettered
prepared to present their item.

HOLDOVER APPLICATIONS
H-1. UC-0222-11 – CONDOS, GEORGE & PHYLLIS
C.:
APPROVED per staff if Approved Conditions
USE PERMIT to allow clients or
customers to come to a residence for a proposed home occupation (Homeowner’s
Association office) in conjunction with an existing residence on 0.4 acres in
an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located
135 feet east of
The staff has recommended a 1
year review and the TAB concurs with this recommendation. There are some concerns that the number of
visitors may be underestimated. There are
numerous functions required of an HOA office that require office visits. The applicant had an explanation how each of
these functions is handled without an office visit or at another location. The TAB had held this item for the applicant
to inform his neighbors and obtain an acceptance letter from each
neighbor. Two neighbors agreed and one
cannot be contacted. One TAB member did
not agree with the use permit.
ATTACHMENT A
1. UC-0232-11 –

ADD Current Planning conditions:
·
Screening wall to be 8
ft. decorative CMU block.
·
Tower and ground

DESIGN REVIEW for a monopine
communication tower in conjunction with an existing commercial building on a
portion of 1.1 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay
District. Generally located
on the east side of
The TAB added two conditions. The staff agenda sheet referred to a chain
link fence and a block wall surrounding the ground equipment. The applicant’s elevations show an 8 ft.
block wall. To avoid any confusion the
tab added the condition for an 8 ft. block wall. The second condition was added to insure the
tower and associated ground equipment removal rides with the land and gives the
county a way to enforce the removal of abandoned equipment.
2. UC-0258-11 – URBAN INVESTMENTS, LLC, ET AL:
APPROVED per staff Conditions:
USE PERMITS for the following:
1) A recreational facility with shops,
snack bars, lounges, and restaurants; and
2) A racetrack.
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce parking.
DESIGN REVIEW for a racetrack in
conjunction with a recreational facility on 65.0 acres in an H-1 (Limited
Resort and Apartment) (AE-65, AE-70, & RPZ) Zone. Generally located
on the south side of Sunset Road and the east side of
The applicant is proposing to make no changes to the
existing facilities with the exception of adding a dirt surfaced racetrack for
motorcycles in a vacant field located on the northeast corner on the site. The racetrack will be oval in shape with an
approximate width of 130 feet and a length of approximately 200 feet. A wall
approximately 4 feet in height will be erected around the racetrack to provide
a boundary for the races and protection for the spectators. Portable bleachers
will be setup along the west side of the racetrack. These portable bleachers will
provide seating for approximately 1,100 spectators.
This is an excellent location for this activity and the
applicant has plans to expand if this venture is successful, using vacant
acreage on the southeast corner of the property.
3. UC-0265-11 – STANLEY, RONALD K.:
APPROVED Per Current Planning conditions:
ADD Current Planning condition:
Tower and ground equipment to be removed when no longer
needed
USE PERMIT for a communication tower.
DESIGN REVIEW for a communication
facility consisting of a monopalm communication tower and supporting ground
equipment on 1.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone. Generally
located on south side of Serene Avenue, 950 feet east of Arville Street
within
The condition was added to insure the tower and associated
ground equipment removal rides with the land and gives the county a way to
enforce the removal of abandoned equipment.
4. VS-0263-11 – HARMONY HOMES, LLC:
APPROVED per staff Conditions:
VACATE
5. VS-0273-11 – STEARNS BANK NA:
APPROVED Per Current Planning conditions:
ADD Current Planning condition:
Design Review as a public hearing for future plans.
VACATE
The TAB added the condition for a Design Review as a
public hearing for three reasons:
·
The project
originally planned most likely will not be built.
·
The neighbors in the
area have been consistently interested in what will be built on this
property.
·
The Design Review will
allow the neighbors to comment on any new project.
6. WS-0268-11 – PARDEE HOMES OF NEVADA, INC:
APPROVED Waiver of Development Standards 1a, Per Major Projects conditions.
DENIED Waiver of Development Standards 1b.
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to
reduce the front setback for portions of a 28.9 acre single family subdivision
in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District)
Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community. Generally located
on the south side of
WAIVER
OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
1.
a. Reduce the required front setback to 12 feet where a minimum of 15 feet for
the living space is required (a 20% reduction).
b. Reduce the required front garage setback to 18 feet where a minimum of 20 feet is required (a 10% reduction).
The TAB has consistently supported 20 ft. or longer
driveways. The County, several years ago,
amended Title 30 to require 20 ft. driveways.
This requirement cannot be waived.
The Major Projects standards are established in their agreement with the
County and the development code that was in effect when the agreement was
signed. This means the applications
covered by a Major Project agreement may apply for a driveway length waiver. The TAB did not agree the applicant’s request
for driveways less than 20 ft.
Another factor raised during the discussion is sidewalk
access for disabled persons. When
driveways are too short, vehicles block the sidewalk forcing a person with a
wheel chair into the street, or denies them access altogether. This is a factor that has not received
sufficient consideration in the placement of sidewalks and driveways in
residential developments.
7. UC-0271-11 – KHAN, ATIA SAEED:
APPROVED Per Current Planning conditions:
ADD Current Planning conditions:
·
Lighting and signage as
a public hearing
·
Provide for perpetual
cross access to the north and east.
USE PERMIT Reduce the setback from a
service station to, residential use to 110 feet where 200 feet is required (a
45% reduction).
DESIGN REVIEW for a convenience
store/service station and a car wash facility on a portion of 1.8 acres in a
C-2 (General Commercial) (AE-60) Zone.
Generally located on the east side of
The
TAB examined several factors for granting the Use Permit:
· When
· The
higher density residential is land use planned for the west side of
· This
intersection consists of two arterial roads.
· The
off sites, landscaping and parking areas have been built.
The TAB considered the following for perpetual cross
access:
·
The properties east
and north are land use planned for Commercial General.
·
The site has 39
parking places where 16 are required.
·
The loss of parking
places for cross access will not adversely affect the parking requirement.
·
Cross access could reduce
the number of curb cuts along both arterial roads.
·
Improve traffic flow
for the businesses.
The applicant was not prepared to discuss lighting and
signage. The TAB added the condition for
a Design Review as a public hearing for these items.
