OF CONDITIONS of a Use
Permit (UC-0354-10) requiring a design review as a public hearing for the

Generally located
on the northwest corner of
The TAB agrees with the staff analysis. Staff found that the original condition was
intended to apply to the freestanding sign and all other signage for the tavern
including any future changes to the signage. The purpose of this condition was
to protect the adjacent residential development from negative impacts from the
sign such as lighting from the signs spilling over into the adjacent
residential subdivision. The concerns
about signage were addressed by the Enterprise Town Advisory Board when a bank
requested the tavern use permit be extended. At the Planning Commission (PC)
meeting the applicant (bank) suggested adding a condition requiring the design
review as a public hearing for signage to address the Town Board's concerns.
Therefore, staff finds this condition of approval is required to fulfill the
intended purpose of the Enterprise Town Advisory Board and the PC to mitigate
impacts en the adjacent residential development.
The Waiver of Conditions must remain in place
for this property. The applicant has
provided a sign package that blends into the neighborhood. However, if the Waiver of Conditions is
removed it would allow future sign changes without review and possible detrimental
effects to the neighborhood.

DENIED
USE
PERMIT for a
child care facility in conjunction with an existing place of worship on 3.7
acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone. Generally located on the north side of
The TAB determined this location is not suitable
for a child care facility due to the placement of the play yard.
The TAB considered the following factors in its
determination:
·
The
church is not the day care operator.
·
The
application did not address the outside play area
·
The
play area is located on the northern property line with no buffer to the
adjacent neighbors
·
The
location of the play area has resulted in significant and numerous neighbor
complaints about noise from pervious child care operations
·
The
church building serves as a sounding board reflecting sound into the rural
neighborhood.
·
Pervious
child care operations were church operated.
·
Conditions
recommend or impose could be negated by state child care regulations.
·
Church
representatives were not present.
·
The
site was not designed to minimize the impact of child care operations.
This site is not suitable for child care
operations because the noise generated by the outside activates is too loud for
the surround neighborhood. Over the last five years the TAB has received numerous
testimony and complaints from neighbors on the noise level generated by child
care operations. The current location of
the play yard does not allow for any buffering.
The church does use the play yard during their weekend services. The neighbors have accepted that use. However, the addition of a five a day a week
operation is not acceptable to them.

This project is an excellent use of this
property.
The primary TAB concerns were:
·
Insure
the flight operations at McCarran are not effect by building height
·
Traffic
and road design within and east of the project.
·
Lighting
and signage were not address in the application
McCarran is a primary asset to the
valley. It must be protected. The TAB added a recommendation that building
height be limited to the FAA recommended heights. The critical factor is the takeoff engine out
criteria. Building height affects this
criterion. A building above the
recommended FAA height requires aircraft to reduce takeoff weight. The takeoff weight reduction reduces
passenger load. A reduction of
passengers on board reduces the incentive to operate out of McCarran. This would be a negative for the entire
valley.
The TAB did not agree with the Public Works
condition to remove the traffic circle within the project. NDOT states the following benefits from
roundabouts:
·
Safer than signalized intersections
·
Reduces frequency and severity of
crashes
·
Reduces Traffic Delays / Increases
Traffic Capacity
·
Can slow excessive traffic speeds while
still improving traffic flow
·
Reduced long-term operational costs
·
More environmentally-friendly than
traditional intersections due to less vehicle emissions, fuel use
·
and noise
·
More aesthetically-pleasing than
traditional traffic intersections
NDOT http://www.nevadadot.com/safety/roundabout/benefits.aspx
The
TAB has supported the use of roundabouts as a traffic control device within the
County and does so in this case.
The
second traffic concern is project effects on RNP traffic to the east. Robindale will provide direct access into the
RNP with the potential to greatly increase cut through traffic. The TAB cannot make a recommendation for the
developer to solve this problem as the RNP is not part of the application. The suggestion was made to the Chair for an
agenda item to discuss traffic control within the RNP. This discussion could lead to a
recommendation to the
Lighting
and signage were not part of the application.
The TAB is concerned with the effect of lighting and signage on the
surrounding neighborhood and McCarran aircraft operations. The TAB added a
recommendation for a Design Review as a public hearing for these two design
elements.

This item generated some discussion on how
this project fits into the neighborhood with emphasis on building height. At 500 ft. the felling is it too high. Also the use as condos is not feasible in
market currently and the foreseeable future. The original application does
require a design review no the final plans.
The one factor affecting this project is the Starr/I-15 interchange. NDOT is currently 40 & through their design
process. The final NDOT design may
require part of this property for off ramps.
This will alter the final design and the possible use.
