ZONING AGENDA:

 

1.       WS-0829-14 – DURANGO CORNER, LLC:

DENIED per staff if approved conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow the inclusion of the private street in calculating lot area.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (NZC-0348-13) requiring per revised plans submitted on 09/04/13 in conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 5.0 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Durango Drive and the north side of Agate Avenue within Enterprise.  sb/dg/ml  (For possible action) 11/05/14 BCC

 

Note: Harmony Homes was the original applicant for NZC-0348-13 and TM-0139-13.

 

The TAB strongly recommends this application be denied for the following:

·   The lot sizes do not comply with Title 30 R-2 zone districts standards.

·   Net lot size of 2800 sq. ft. where 3300 sq. ft. is required is not acceptable to the TAB. 21 of 40 lots are undersized.

·   It would be an undesirable precedent to allow the streets to be counted in net lot size in the R-2 zone district.

·   The developer has extensive experience in County, who has complied with Title 30 R-2 requirements on other projects

·   The BCC approval conditions for the NZC-0348-13 were not complied with by the applicant.

·   The Harmony Homes failed to update the Tentative Map prior to the October 1, 2013, PC hearing.

·   In August 2013, for Tentative Maps, the staff was only required make recommendations based on the tentative map requirements.  They were not required to comment on the compliance with the zone district standards on the Tentative Map staff agenda sheets.

·   The Harmony Homes was advised by the staff there was a risk in filing a Tentative Map prior to the BCC approval of NZC-0348-13

·   The Storybrook is basing their project on a Tentative Map approved by the PC on October 1, 2013 that is significantly different from the NZC-0348-13 plot plan and conditions by approved by the PC and BCC a month earlier.

·   Due diligence by the developer should have resolved any differences between NZC-0348-13 and the Tentative Map prior to proceeding with project planning.

 

Based upon review of the PC, BCC videos and NOFAs for NZC-0348-13 and TM-0139-13 the following time line was constructed. 

 

10 July 2013

·   The TAB heard NZC-0348-13

·   The TAB had objections to the 38 lot plot plan presented

·   Harmony Home elected to hold the plan for revisions.

 

31 July 2013

·   TAB approved NZC-0348-13 per staff conditions and revised plans shown by the Harmony Homes

·   Harmony Homes submitted a revised plot plan with 34 lots

·   The 34 lot plot plan met all R-2 zone district standards

 

20 Aug 2013

·   PC approved NZC-0348-13 per staff conditions and no driveways on Agate

·   This approval was based upon the 34 lot plot plan shown to the TAB

 

27 Aug 2013

·   Tentative map with 38 lots submitted to the County by Harmony Homes

·   Plot design that did not comply with staff conditions on NZC-0348-13

·   Did not comply with PC recommendations on NZC-0348-13

 

4 Sep 2014

·   BCC approved 34 lot plot plan shown with 34 units and 7 driveways on Agate. 

·   Plot Plan with 34 lots was filed with the County for NZC-0348-13

 

1 Oct 2013

·   PC approved, on routine action, a 38 lot Tentative Map.

·   The Tentative Map did not comply with the previous PC and BCC approval conditions for NZC-0348-13.  The PC cannot override a decision by the BCC.

·   It was the applicant’s responsibility to update their tentative map request prior to the PC hearing.

 

Given the reasons above and the time line, The TAB position is the BCC approved 34 lot plot plan complied with Title 30 standards and the proposed waiver should be denied.

The TAB recommendations are based upon several factors:

·   The proposed development meets Title 30 standards for lot size and density.

·   There is little guidance in Title 30 for net lot size in this zone district.

·   The wash through the proposed project is a significant factor impacting the project design.

·   The developer should be given some latitude in design due to the wash.

·   The project is a good fit into the neighborhood.

·   If an additional feature will cause a setback waiver, the developer will not offer that feature.

 

6.       DR-0821-14 – COUNTY OF CLARK (AVIATION):

          APPROVED per staff conditions and,

ADD a Current Planning condition:

   Design Review as a Public Hearing for free standing sign.

7.       UC-0833-14 – TIAMO SQUARE, LLC:

This is an excellent project for the neighborhood.  The parcel is on the north end of larger commercial area with undeveloped lots on both sides.  The back of the building faces a water authority facility and does not need to be similar to the front of the building.

 

The TAB added a condition to establish cross access with the properties to the north and south if the uses a compatible.  This will help improve traffic flow between the businesses along the east side for Jones.

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB October 1, 2014: HELD to the October 29, 2014 TAB meeting per request of the applicant: (Not previously heard)

 

Nice sign, however it does not fit into the neighborhood.  The TAB has recommended and BCC approved a 12 foot high monument sign for the Maverick Station just west of apartment complex.  The proposed sign would be large, very bright and in the sight line of many residences south of Cactus Ave.  The sign might also be visible from the Cactus interchange as it would be located on the highest building in the area.

 

One TAB member suggested a monument sign is a better fit for the neighborhood.  The monument sign would be more in line with the sign allowed for Maverick.
