This is a request to allow a billboard to be 39 feet
above the sound wall where 25 ft. is the standard. The billboard is located approximately 20
feet north of the sound wall. Two
factors influenced the TAB to recommend approval. First, billboard was in place before the
sound wall was constructed. Second, is
the curve in 215 and the sound wall effectively blocks half the sign. With
the increased height, part of the sign will be obstructed by a traffic advisory
board.

The TAB opinion is significant changes have occurred to
the project since the 2006 application.
The original project was presented as two plots to form one project on
4.3 acres. The approvals were based upon
this being a unified project. Today, it
has broken into four separate parts each operating independently. This is not
the project the original approvals were based upon. The area and this project have
significantly changed over the last six years.
The Circle K project as made progress toward completion
and its use permits and design review should be extended. The applicant did not cover the automobile maintenance
facility during the presentation. When
questioned by the TAB, the applicant admitted this element is an afterthought. The automobile maintenance facility has no
plans and was not shown on the current plot plans presented. After six years, there should be progress
toward project completion. The TAB
recommended the use permit and design review for the automobile maintenance
facility be rescinded.

The
TAB did not have the Public Works comments on this application until after the
meeting started.
A
large box store in this location will significantly alter the adjacent RNP
character and be a significant impact on the residents. It will slow RNP build out and possibly
result in the RNP disappearance. This
discussion was set in motion ten years ago.
When Focus was negotiating with the RNP residents to include the RNP in
the Mountains Edge Master Development Plan, they were told the commercial would
be office professional. At the same
time, in November 2002, this land was zoned, at Focus’ request, for the most
intense commercial use, C-2. The Resolution of Intent (conditional zone change)
on these properties was extended administratively by the County staff in 2011. These
actions have led to this application.
From
a land use perspective, the Walmart is an appropriate use. The fit into the neighborhood is another
question. The fit into the neighborhood
was discussed, at length, by the TAB.
There
is significant noise generated adjacent to the existing residential:
·
Trucks idling adjacent to residential.
o
Walmart trucks drop their trailer, pick
up an empty and leave.
o
Local delivery trucks are in place
longer.
·
Placement of loading zones for daily
delivery along the southern boundary.
o
Truck back up alarms.
·
Delivery hours.
o
TAB opinion is this is not enforceable
by the County.
o
It would be up to store management to
enforce.
·
Sound mitigation and buffering.
o
Approval to build a decorative 8 foot
high wall.
o
Three landscape layers adjacent to residential.
§
Residents requested landscaping to
extend along the southern boundary.
§
Ensure the ability to provide cross
access to commercial property to the south along Rainbow.
·
Discussed use of materials to disperse
sound, not included as a condition.
Traffic
patterns on and off the site.
·
On site traffic pattern places trucks
along southern border.
·
The effects of right in and right out
on Rainbow.
o
Exiting truck traffic is forced to go
south on Rainbow.
o
Potential traffic flow through the RNP
is created with right in and right out only.
o
Currently exiting, north bound traffic
would be forced south to Meranto, west to Montessouri, north to Blue Diamond,
east to Rainbow, then north.
o
North bound traffic on Rainbow required
doing a U-turn at Blue Diamond to enter Walmart.
·
Protected left turn in and out of the
property is needed along Rainbow for good traffic flow.
·
Cross access is needed in the northwest
corner and southeast corner to connect with future development.
·
Applicant stated the intention to
provide crosses access with Terrible Herbst on the north east corner.
o
This access is also needed for traffic
flow among businesses on this corner.

·
Is a development agreement needed for public
access and maintenance?
·
Who are the entities responsible for
different trail sections?
·
Is there a comprehensive plan for the
establishment, building, easements, constructions and maintenance for the RNP
buffer trail?
