Current Planning condition #4:
·
No replacement of dogs;
The TAB considered:
·
The property is in a
RNP-1.
·
The applicant has
1.9 acres available.
·
No deficiencies in
animal care.
·
Cares for animals
that are not adoptable.
·
Use permit if
approved could allow up to 16 dogs.
Normally when the TAB reviews an application concerning
the number of animals on a property, it is because the number is above what is
allowed by the code. In these cases, it
is usual to not allow any replacement animals until the code limit is
obtained.
This application is different because the applicant has
sufficient property to accommodate 16 dogs.
However, the staff recommended a condition that would not allow any
replacement dogs.
The TAB position is the applicant is taking good care of
the 12 dogs currently on the property.
This was verified by an Animal Control inspection. They are taking care of dogs that normally would
be put down by the shelter. They applicant should be allowed to replace dogs as
long as the number does not exceed 12.
The applicant has demonstrated they are capable of taking excellent care
of 12 dogs.

Cross access
·

This portion of the
commercial development should not be isolated from the larger area.

shared with the rest of the development.
The TAB recommended cross access be
established to the north and west and parking be shared.

PREVIOUS ACTION
APPROVE
per staff recommendations and conditions
The TAB is concerned with the temporary nature of the
project and no firm idea of how long this use will be in place. The applicant stated that some of the
internal area will be paved rather than with type 2 gravel. This will help with dust control.
The staff has recommended a 1-year review. This is appropriate given the projects
temporary nature.
The TAB recommendation was
identical to the staff recommendation.
“Approval of the use permit, waivers of development standards # 1
through #6, and the design review; and denial of waiver of development
standards #7.”

The RNP residential neighbors presented the following:
·
The C-1 zone change
is ok as long as the project is restricted to mini warehouse use only.
·
The 30 ft.
buffer/horse trail should be maintained.
·
Lighting and signage
should be limited.

Concerned with hours

TAB concerns:
·
The applicant's plot
plan showed two sections, southern mini warehouse, northern undeveloped.
·
The northern
undeveloped section could be developed with a significantly more intense C-1
use.
·
Only 7.5 feet was
dedicated to the horse trail.
·
3 ft. buffer for the
horse trail was not included.
·
Canon like effect
created along horse trail by the western building.
·
The 30 ft. buffer
status has not been settled by the County.
·
Western elevation of
building C is a long stark wall.
Two possible courses of action were presented to the
applicant: 1. hold the item until the trail/buffer issue is resolved or, 2. TAB
make recommendation on the information available. The applicant did not want to hold the item.
The TAB recommends a ROI to C-1 restricted to mini
warehouse only. The TAB is not
comfortable to place a C-1 zone district on northern section with no plan. There are many C-1 uses not appropriate for
this location that could not be blocked once the entitlement has been granted. There is sufficient room on this property to
redesign the building and accommodate the entire trail/buffer.
The
building C western elevation should be enhanced to eliminate the long stark
block wall appearance. The TAB recommend this elevation be similar to the eastern
elevations. This complies with urban
land use policy #78
“Encourage
architectural treatments on all building sides to eliminate blank building
elevations along public rights-of-way and areas visible to the general public
to improve visual quality.“ The western elevation will be visible from
Given
the residents' interest in this project any significant changes to the
presented plans should be reviewed as a public hearing.
The
TAB reopened the hearing to add the operating hours
condition. The TAB recommended the hours
of operation be limited to the County daylight hour standard due to the
adjacent residential property.
