The applicant presented a plan that was
strongly opposed by resident in the area.
The plan presented had not been reviewed by the Staff prior to the
TAB. This plan reduced the number of
lots planned and placed 10,000 sq. ft. lots next to the existing
residents. This lots were side loaded to
the present residents backyards, reducing the set back to 10 feet.
The TAB had two principle questions on which
to make recommendations. First, is the
non-conforming zone change appropriate for the area? Second, is the design presented blend with
the current residences? The developer presentation concentrated on the second
question not the first. The zone change
is the critical question.
The proposed zone change has generated
considerable negative comments from the adjacent home owners. Their opinion is this area was originally
planned for ˝ acre lots or larger and that is what they bought into. Once the
The Lewis investments plan is not well
designed. It places much smaller lots
adjacent and abutting the current ˝ acre lots.
This is not good land use planning.
All of the existing homes in the area are
single story. The recommendation is any
new development be limited to single story home
abutting the current residents.
The TAB recommends that

years of age and over and the use be controlled by business licensing.
TEXT AMENDMENT to amend chapter 30.08, section 30.08.030 to modify the
definition of a sex novelty shop.
The applicant states that the Las Vegas Strip has become
a popular destination for bachelor and bachelorette party celebrations. As a
result, many of the resort hotels have novelty stores that sell a variety of
retail items including adult apparel and gifts. Currently, there is no
distinction between a sex novelty shop and a store that sells a limited amount
of adult novelty items. Rather than sending guests to the Adult Use Overlay
area of
Staff has concerns with a 35% allowance for this use. Due
to the unique nature of resort hotels, a use of up to 10% may be
appropriate. The TAB agrees with the
staff that the sue be limited to 10%. Two other TAB concerns are the sales be limited to individuals 18 years and older. The next
concern is the sales be governed through a business
license.

The applicant indicates that this request is for a K
through 8 charter school with a small day care component. The proposed school
is similar to other charter schools the applicant operates. The development
will be completed in a single phase with a planned opening in August 2014.
According to the applicant, the school capacity is 1,000
students with approximately 100 students per grade level. The school hours are
approximately
This charter school will help relieve elementary and
middle school overcrowding in the Mountains Edge area.
The TAB has two concerns with this project. First is the vehicle queuing required to accommodate pick up and drop off in a school of this
size. Cactus is not currently
fully built out and some other roads in the area are partially built. The applicant has assured the TAB that the
circulation planned into the site will handle the volume of traffic
generated. This assurance is based upon
their experience at the other schools.
The second concern is to provide a safe crossing for
children crossing
This site is not within the Mountains Edge Master Plan. The area across Cactus is within the master
plan. The question arose about using the
Mountains Edge landscape and color palette to blend into the neighborhood. The building is pictured with desert colors
similar to the Mountains Edge palette.
The TAB did add a condition to use the Mountains Edge landscape palette.
One other condition the TAB added was for all pole
mounted lighting to be fully shielded.

to redesign their project. The new plan
includes 8 lots which meet title 30 standards.
The waiver for reduced lot size is no longer needed.
The neighbors requested that the perimeter streets be
developed to rural street standards. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to
construct pavement only along the frontage of the site to reflect rural street
development within the RNP area.
The TAB recommends
The applicant questioned the need for a restrictive deed covenant. The purpose for this covenant was explained. It is attached to majority of deeds where the
offsites are not fully built out. It is
one of the ways the county can make roads improvements in the future if the
need arises.

The neighborhood meeting was well attended for this
project. After hearing the presentation
the neighbors had no objections.
The TAB opinion is one lot 365 ft. below the 20,000
standard is not sufficient reason to deny the Waiver of Development Standards #1. This reduction requires no off set waivers.
Maule in this area is not a true collector. It is shown as a collector from Arville to
Valley View on the Master Transportation Map.
It is blocked in the west by the UPRR tracks and in the east by 215/I-15
interchange. It is not likely that Maule
would bridge either of these obstacles. Maule
should be downgraded to a local street on the Master Transportation Map along
with Arville north of Warm Springs. A
drive along Maule revealed, the only section of Maule
that is full developed is the north side adjacent to the water reservoir. This seems to be an expense the county did
not need to make. The south side is
developed to rural standards. There are
no other offsites developed in the area.
