1.      UC-0011-13 (ET-0020-14) – EMERY FAMILY LIVING TRUST 1980:

APPROVED per staff conditions and;

MODIFY Current Planning bullet #1 to read:

   Until March 5, 2019 to review as a public hearing.

 

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to review a food cart (shaved ice) not located within an enclosed building.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a food cart (shaved ice) in conjunction with an existing convenience store and gasoline station on 1.6 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Cactus Avenue and Decatur Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/co/ml  (For possible action)

 

The food cart operation was thoroughly discussed by the TAB when the original Use Permit was requested.  Three factors led to the TAB recommendation for a longer review period.

 

·   The County has not received any complaints about the shaved ice stand operation.

·   TAB members have observed the shaved ice business over the last summer, with no problems noted.

·   The $500.00 application filling fee for a small business is burden.  A longer extension spreads this fee oven a longer time.

USE PERMIT to allow a food cart (shaved ice and soup) not located within an enclosed building.

The TAB is concerned with traffic and pedestrian flow around this food cart.  The applicant presented a detailed plan that shows an adequate drive aisle and sufficient space for pedestrian safety.  The one year review will provide an opportunity to observe the operation and make recommendations at the one year review.

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for an intense landscape buffer adjacent to drive-thru facilities and stacking lanes.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-1431-98) requiring the following:

 

1) A-3 landscaping along the east property line;

2) B-2 landscaping along all street frontages; and

3) Right-of-way dedication to include 30 feet for Arby Avenue.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a shopping center on 4.3 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the CMA Design and MUD-3 Overlay Districts.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Badura Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/jt/ml  (For possible action)

 

The applicant has a well-designed project.

 

The TAB is strongly opposed to the Arby Ave vacation.  Arby Ave is absolutely essential for neighborhood traffic flow and connectivity east of Rainbow Blvd. 

 

The applicant originally submitted plans to dedicate Arby Ave.  However, Public Works has recommended Arby Ave be vacated in conjunction with NZC-0844-13 & VS-0845-13.  The Public Works recommendation on NZC-0844-13 & VS-0845-13 was then used as the basis for the Arby Ave vacation on this application.

 

Public Works revised their recommendation to dedicate Arby Ave after the TAB hearing on NZC-0844-13.  No data has been presented to the TAB to justify the Arby vacation.

 

The non-conforming zone change has not been approved by the BCC as of March 12, 2014.  Until the final BCC decision on NZC-0844-13, conditions on this application should not be based on an assumption of BCC approval.

 

The TAB has consistently recommended Arby Ave be dedicated. The following was considered in recommending Arby Ave be dedicated between Rainbow Blvd and Redwood St.

 

·   The applicant’s tenants significantly benefit from better neighborhood access.

·   Capovilla Ave has been vacated east of Rainbow Blvd, limiting neighborhood connectivity.

·   Future business and residential development east of Rainbow Blvd is dependent on adequate neighborhood roads.

·   The construction of Arby Ave. significantly contributes to neighborhood connectivity.

·   America West has agreed to access Arby Ave instead of Badura Ave, east of Rainbow Blvd.

·   TAB has received comments that businesses on Arby Ave are hard to find with the current street configuration.

·   Traffic will be diverted to Badura Ave and Warm Springs if Arby is vacated.

·   All projects between along Arby Ave from Jones to Fort Apache have dedicated Arby Ave.

·   Right-of-way should not be given away to provide additional residential lots (NZC-0844-13).  This is counterproductive.

·   Rainbow Blvd has been constructed with protected left turns at Arby.

·   The removal of Arby Ave is not consistent with the RTC Complete Streets concept.

·   For existing street networks, do not allow street closures that would result in larger blocks (RTC Complete Streets design criteria).

 

Lighting and signage were not covered in this application.  The TAB recommended a condition for a public hearing on those items.  The TAB also added a recommendation for perpetual cross access with the property to the south,if Arby Ave is not constructed.

5.      WS-0791-13 – RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES NEVADA, INC:

WITHDRAW by the applicant:  Waivers of Development Standards #1 a & c without prejudice.

APPROVED per staff conditions.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Increased wall height;

2) Allow an increased artificial grade; and

3) Exceed the maximum site disturbance in conjunction with a hillside development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a final grading plan for development within a Hillside & Foothills Transition Boundary Area in conjunction with an approved 124 lot single family subdivision with common lots on 21.5 acres in a RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Ford Avenue, 200 feet east of Hualapai Way (alignment) within Enterprise.  SB/dm/ml  (For possible action)

 

The applicant has worked with the staff to reduce the Waivers of Development required. The lot size has been increased to greater than 4000 sq. ft. by the elimination of several lots.  The walls will be terraced with landscape and rockscape.  The plan is a significant improvement from the original plan.

 

It should be noted this area was not properly planned in the 2009 Enterprise Land Use Update.  The hillside information was not included in the planning.  As a result, the area was planned with greater density than allowed by the hillside standards.  The current plan is significantly less dense than allowed by the zone district granted.
