11.       UC-0797-15 (WC-0019-16) – southern hills baptist church:

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a use permit requiring the applicant to provide a 10 foot wide landscape area with 1 row of trees planted generally 20 feet apart, shrubs and groundcover to be planted to cover more than 50% of the landscape area along the north property line on the south side of the drainage easement in conjunction with an approved place of worship on 5.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Pebble Road (alignment), 300 feet east of Torrey Pines Drive within Enterprise.  SB/co/ml  (For possible action) 04/06/16 BCC

 

APPROVE per staff “if approved” conditions

 

The applicant originally had the county required landscape buffer along Pebble Rd. on their plans.  The completed drainage study required a private drainage channel along Pebble Rd.  The drainage has replaced 10 feet of the landscape buffer.  The plans could be modified to accommodate this buffer loss. However, it would require the church to resubmit their plans and significantly delay their project.  Any delay would finish construction on their new facility after the lease expired on their current facility.

 

This is another example of how the drainage study modifies approved plans.  The result is Title 30 standards that were met in the public hearings are modified after the fact.  Had the drainage study been accomplished with the original application the project design could have been be modified and Title standards met.

 

12.       WS-0408-15 – ZAK MAK, LLC, ET AL:

AMENDED HOLDOVER WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) reduced lot area (previously not notified); 2) allow single family residential lots to front a collector street (previously not notified); and 3) off-site improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalks, streetlights, and partial paving) (previously not notified). 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 1) a single family residential development; and 2) increased finished grade (previously not notified) on 37.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the east and west sides of Tenaya Way and the north and south sides of Ford Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/gc/ml  (For possible action) 04/06/16 BCC

 

HELD to the March 30, 2016 TAB per agreement of the applicant to hold final neighborhood meeting.

 

Some of the neighbors present had not seen the revised plans and were asking many questions on individual lots that should have been answered in the neighborhood meeting.  The TAB and the applicant agreed that an additional neighborhood meeting was necessary to fully inform the neighbors.

 

13.       WS-0071-16 – D.R. HORTON, INC:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) reduced setbacks; and 2) increased wall heights.

DESIGN REVIEW for revised home models in conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 11.7 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone and an R-1 (Single Family Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the north and south sides of Haleh Avenue, 300 feet west of Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action) 04/06/16 BCC

 

HELD per prior request of the applicant, to the 3-30-16 TAB meeting and the 4-20-16 Board of County Commissioners meeting.

 

14.       WS-0075-16 – CRAIG S. & JILL MICHAEL:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) the requirement of public water connection; and 2) full off-site improvements in conjunction with a proposed minor residential subdivision on 3.2 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Arville Street and Maulding Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/mk/ml  (For possible action) 04/06/16 BCC

 

APPROVE per staff “if approved: conditions

 

The applicant has water rights for their wells and should be allowed to exercise those rights. 

 

The TAB recommendation is Arville St. remain in its current configuration.  The TAB is concerned with the traffic patterns in this RNP. The current reduced pavement width is a traffic mitigation measure for the RNP.  If Arville St. off-sites are built out, it may become an alternate route for large trucks from the warehouse area to the east.  This is not a desired outcome.

 

15.       ZC-0088-16 – LEWIS INVESTMENT CO. OF NEVADA, LLC:

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 10.4 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 1) a proposed single family residential development; and 2) increased finished grade.  Generally located on the north side of Gomer Road (alignment) and the east side of Conquistador Street (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action) 04/06/16 BCC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

ADD Current Planning condition:

·         Design Review as a Public Hearing for significant changes to plan;

ADD Public Works – Development Review condition:

·         All pole mounted lighting to be fully shielded;

 

The following items were discussed by the TAB:

·            The density approaching the Red Rock Overlay is too great.

·            This project reduces the potential density by 6 units per acre.

·            All the proposed projects in the area will not be adequately served by parks, schools and commercial uses.

·            Too many lots are under 4000 sq. ft.

·            Lewis Investment Co will not be the ultimate builder.

·            Pedestrian circulation is poor.

 

The TAB recommended any significant change to plans presented be subject to a public Design Review because the ultimate builder is not known.  

 

The area is approaching the Red Rock Design overlay, as such should have all pole mounted lighting to be fully shielded.

 

16.       ZC-0103-16 – COUNTY OF CLARK (AVIATION):

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 1.3 acres from C-P (Office & Professional) (AE-60) Zone to M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-60) Zone for a distribution center.

DESIGN REVIEW for a distribution center on 19.5 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-60) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the northwest corner of Windmill Lane and Valley View Boulevard within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/al/ml  (For possible action) 04/06/16 BCC

 

APPROVE Zone Change

APPROVE Design Review with the following modification:

·         The northeast exit be moved south;

ADD Public Works – Development Review conditions:

·         Valley View not to be extended further than that northeast exit on the property and to have barriers on the east side of the street to prevent traffic going north;

·         The exit on Valley View to be built to allow right out only

Otherwise, per staff conditions

 

The proposed project is a continuation of the distribution facility developed to the west.  The design will be similar and cross access will be provided.  The number of tenants has not been determined at this time. 

 

The RNP residents are seriously concerned with the heavy truck traffic north bound on Valley View Blvd. The 2001 zone change specified that no truck traffic would be allowed to go north on Valley View Blvd. into the RNP.  The staff has included the following condition: “No truck traffic to travel north of site on Valley View Boulevard”.  The TAB believes this will be a very difficult condition to enforce, if it can be enforced at all.

 

The TAB opinion is a physical barrier and exit design are required to enforce the no truck traffic to go north on Valley View Blvd. 

 

The project will have two entrance/exits on Valley View Blvd.  One entrance is on the northeast corner adjacent to Mesa Verde Ln.  If this entrance/exit is build it will provide easy access to Valley View Blvd. north of the site.  The TAB recommends this entrance/exit be moved south and area between the northern entrance/exit to Mesa Verde Ln. not be developed.  Additionally, barriers should be put into place to prevent vehicles going north on the undeveloped portion of Valley View Blvd.

 

The TAB also recommends the exits along Valley View Blvd. be developed for right-out channelization.  The intent is to physically direct traffic south on Valley View Blvd.

 

The applicant requested the staff condition for a design review for lighting and signage be modified to only cover free standing signs.  This condition would not have taken wall mounted and other signs and lighting into account.  Given the close proximity of the RNP the TAB recommendation is the staff condition for a lighting and signage not be changed.
