·      Right-of-way dedication to include 30 ft. for Raven Ave.

·      Waive off-site improvements on Raven Ave. except for partial paving

·      Execute a restrictive covenant agreement (deed restriction)

Per Staff conditions

 

Note: This property does not front on Pebble Rd.  The Public Works Development Review was not updated for the new plan.  As a result, some of the Public Works comments and conditions are not applicable to this item.

 

This an excellent location for the school.  The plan presented is better than the previous reviewed plan.  It offers more separation from the RNP to the north.

 

The TAB considered the following:

·         The school population is 1000 students and plus staff.

·         Traffic is concentrated during drop-off, pick-up, and special events.

·         Traffic is the primary neighborhood concern.

·         The student drop-off point was moved further south shortening the possible queue length.

·         Was the queuing analysis updated for the reduced queue distance?  This Information was not available.

·         How many cars can be handled in an hour with the current queuing plan?  Information not available.

·         Parking and access is to be shared between the school and the church.

·         No overflow parking is currently available in the area.

·         Pebble Rd. will be developed to rural standards per a previously approved application.

·         Pebble Rd. is the only access to two intense uses.

·         An alternate access route for emergency equipment would provide a prudent safety factor.

·         Applicant does see the need for Raven Rd. alignment to dedicated.

·         The BLM may not grant access across their land to connect Raven Ave. to Torrey Pines Dr.

·         Public Works has not provided any justification for the elimination of the Raven alignment in this area.

·         The elimination of Raven Ave. alignment will hinder future development on the BLM property.

 

The TAB recommended approval of this project with several additional conditions.  No information was presented for lighting and signage; the TAB requested a design review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

 

The church and school should have perpetual agreements for cross access and parking.  With no other location for overflow parking provided, shared parking is a must.  The school and church should coordinate activities outside their normal operating hours.  The total available parking is not sufficient to accommodate a large, simultaneous events by both organizations.

 

The TAB recommends the Raven Ave. alignment be dedicated.  The TAB opinion is based upon the following:

·         Raven Ave. is necessary for the future development of the BLM land south of the school. 

·         Raven Ave. will provide a wider buffer to an unknown use on the BLM land. 

·         Raven Ave., when fully dedicated, will provide an alternate route for emergency vehicles if Pebble Rd. is blocked. 

·         Two of the three north/south roads/alignments between Torrey Pines Dr. and the UPRR have been eliminated or 'cul-de-sacked' short of the Raven Ave. alignment.

·         Area access from Blue Diamond is limited to the area beyond the touchdown point about 300 ft. east of Torrey Pines Dr.

 

2.         UC-0708-15 – RADMAN 2, LLC:

USE PERMITS for the following: 1) allow an outside dining and drinking area in conjunction with an on-premises consumption of alcohol (tavern) establishment; and 2) reduce the separation for an outside dining area from a residential use.

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow an alternative exterior color for a building that consists of a vivid hue.

DESIGN REVIEW for an outside dining area and façade renovation in conjunction with an existing tavern on 1.1 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the south side of Blue Diamond Road, 500 feet east of Decatur Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ec  (For possible action) 12/01/15 PC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

ADD Current Planning conditions;

·         Review of outside dining in one year;

·         Design Review as a public hearing for lighting;

 

The TAB is concerned with the following:

·         The outside dining area will be a 24/7 use. 

·         The outside dining area will have music and large screen TVs.

o        May require a Special Use Permit for live entertainment.

o        The applicant will have to abide by the residential day/night maximum sound levels.

o        The residential day/night maximum sound level may be difficult for the applicant to meet.

·         No parking reduction with the added outside dining area.

·         Lighting was not addressed in the Design Review.

·         The façade with fluorescent light, faces the Blue Diamond Rd/Decatur Blvd. intersection.

 

The primary TAB concern is the noise generated by the outside dinning.  The staff agenda sheet did not indicate the outside dinning would be 24/7 with amplified sound and large screen TVs.  The amplified sound will require a separate use permit for live entertainment that was not included in this application.

 

Rather than restrict the outside dining areas the TAB recommend a 1-year review for the outside dining to determine the effects on the adjacent residential neighborhood.  

 

The TAB also recommends a Design Review as a public hearing for lighting due to the close proximity of residential.

 

3.         VS-0690-15 – ross, carl living trust:

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Amigo Street and Executive Airport Drive, and between St. Rose Parkway and Abbeyfield Rose Drive within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/co/ml  (For possible action) 12/01/15 PC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

4.         VS-0702-15 – southern hills baptist church, llc:

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Pebble Road and Blue Diamond Road, and between El Camino Road and Torrey Pines Drive within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/co/ml  (For possible action) 12/01/15 PC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

5.         WS-0706-15 – TBD PARTNERSHIP, LLC:

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow an existing wall sign to face residential development.

DESIGN REVIEW for an existing wall sign in conjunction with an automobile repair facility (Tire Works) within an existing shopping center on 6.6 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Durango Drive within Enterprise. SB/mk/ec  (For possible action) 12/01/15 PC

 

APPROVE with requirement that the sign remain in its current location and not be illuminated

 

The TAB considered the following:

·         The applicant’s desire to reinstate the same conditions as the original application.

·         The applicant was resistant to the sign being moved to the south wall because the wall is not high enough.

·         The required one-year review was not accomplished.

·         There were three CCPRO cases concerning the illuminated sign.

·         The most effected resident described how his household was negatively affected by the illuminated sign.

·         The sign has been a problem since it was installed as residents have presented their objections in past TAB hearings.

 

The TAB recommendation is to keep the sign in its current location without illumination.   This would eliminate the sign’s effect on the adjacent residential and require no further action by the applicant.  If the sign was placed on the south wall and illuminated, it would only partially solve the problem for the adjacent residents.  Given the history of not following the application conditions and CCPRO actions, the TAB believes no illumination is the best solution.

 

Note: The TAB did not include the Staff conditions in the application approval.  The staff conditions offered a different solution than recommended by the TAB.

 

6.         UC-0484-13 (AR-0145-15) – glp capital, lp:

USE PERMITS FIRST APPLICATION FOR REVIEW for the following: 1) exotic animals (wolf dog/hybrids); and 2) allow accessory agricultural large animals (2 horses).

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow alternative screening and buffering standards.

DESIGN REVIEW for an exotic animals (wolf dogs/hybrids) facility in conjunction with a proposed single family residence on a portion of 4.1 acres in an R-T (Manufactured Home Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Gilespie Street and the south side of Volunteer Boulevard (alignment) within Enterprise.  SS/co/ec  (For possible action) 12/02/15 BCC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

7.         DR-0704-15 – GB PARTNERS, LLC:

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 1) a retail/restaurant building with drive-thru; and 2) a retail/office building within a partially developed shopping center on 1.2 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District.  Generally located on the south side of Blue Diamond Road, 500 feet east of Durango Drive within Enterprise.  SB/gc/ls  (For possible action) 12/02/15 BCC

 

APPROVE and,

ADD Current Planning conditions:

·         Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage;

·         Execute agreements for shared parking and cross access with adjacent commercial uses;

·         Drive aisle to be on south side of building;

·         Move the squawk box and menu board to the south-west corner of the retail/restaurant building with drive-through;

Per staff conditions

 

This project is a good fit for the area and is a better solution that previously proposed uses. 

 

The TAB considered the following:

·         The planned location for the menu board and squawk-box.

·         Planned condos to the east.

·         Condo common area to the south.

·         Applicant’s statement that a fast food operation would be limited to county day light hours.

·         Squawk-box queue would block some planned parking.

·         Parking was calculated on entire site not just the applicant’s property.

·         Lighting and signage was not included in the Design Review presented.

 

The TAB recommended 4 conditions be added to the staff conditions. 

 

First, a Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage as this information was not presented to the TAB.

 

Second, agreements for cross access and shared parking be put in place with the adjacent commercial uses.  The parking is calculated on the entire site. 

 

Third, remove the parking slots on the south side of the “retail/restaurant building with drive-thru” and convert this area to a drive aisle. 

 

Fourth, move the squawk-box and menu board to the southwest corner of the “retail/restaurant building with drive-thru”.  Moving the squawk-box will help shield the proposed condos to the east from additional noise.  The TAB expects fast food businesses to be a 24/7 operations in most cases.  The drive–up window is usually the only part of the fast food restaurant open for late night operations.  This is a safety measure

 

GENERAL BUSINESS:

 

1.  TAB receive update and discuss the Community Plan Work Group. (For possible action)

 

The TAB was given the current proposed land use categories.

The following was discussed:

·         The proposed land use categories are a significant change from those currently in use.

·         Each town in the valley has significantly different land use concerns.

·         The proposed land use categories will be review by county legal and Comprehensive Planning Director.

·         The TAB and PC will have 30 days to review the proposed land use categories prior to making recommendations.

·         Some Community Planning Working Group members do not agree with the land use categories as presented.

·         The working group members were asked their opinion on individual parts as they were proposed.

·         The working group was not asked their opinion on the entire package.

·         Some working group members felt the solutions A or B were offered but solution C not considered.

·         The two longest working group discussions were  on the RNP-1 and Arterial Edge Concept.

·         The advance planning staff seems reluctant to better protect the RNP-1 areas.
