The TAB has several concerns about this project.
Approximately 10% of regional commercial land in the
Southern Highlands Master Plan is being converted to residential uses. This is the continuation of a trend that may
eliminate the regional commercial from the Master Plan. This will create a situation where the
residents will have to travel some distance for shopping and local services. This can be done without amending the Master
Plan.
It appears there is no standard, either County or
The TAB recommended the zone change be denied east of the
linear park. The first neighborhood plan
east of the linear park is well below established R-2 standards. The staff
position is, “This reduction will allow a front yard setback at 10 feet where
20 feet is the standard for 50% of the overall building width. Staff finds this is a self-imposed
hardship. There are no constraints
regarding this site other than the design of the lots, which are too small to
fit the current product.” The TAB fully agrees
with this position. The small lots and
front set back reduction works well for the developer. However, the compact neighborhoods have
created problems for the residents who live in them. This part of the project needs to be
redesigned.
The second neighborhood west of the linear park does meet
the established R-2 standards and the TAB recommends zone change approval.

Plan Area. Generally located on the north side of
The TAB recommended approval for the following:
·
The variances have
been granted for other projects in
·
The lot sizes were
locked in in the 2004 zone change to R-2.
·
Some of the
variances will not be required when the Pinnacle Peaks Master Plan terminates
in Feb 2014 and the area converts to Title 30.
This application is an excellent example of how
non-conforming zone changes create unnecessary expense and problems for
adjacent land owners years later.
The property owner to the east is concerned about how the
residential will effect development of his industrial property. The master plan originally required light
industrial in this area. A
non-conforming zone change in 2004 changed some light industrial to residential
uses. This created today’s buffering problems
and killed primary job creation opportunities.
TAB help was requested by the industrial property owner
east of this parcel. When the 2004 zone
change was approved, he expressed concerns with buffering and potential uses on
his property. At that time, there were
verbal assurances that the buffering would not be a problem. Under the current code, the industrial
property owner would be required to install the buffer on his property at his
expense. This is a direct result of the
2004 non-conforming zone change. This is
would not have occurred if the master plan was followed.
The applicant offered to place a letter in the file
stating their intentions about the required buffer. However, this has no legal standing on the
new property owners when the houses are sold.
The TAB explored a number of possible solutions. The
recommendation is to require a buffer on lots 1 thru 8. This will establish a buffer and have a
public record the industrial land owner can refer to when the requirement for
buffering is placed on his land use application.
