DENY

 

The TAB recommendation is to deny this application. 

 

Recent BCC discussion has highlighted the need to closely examine total parking requirements within commercial and industrial complexes.  In some cases, the available parking is fixed.  A new use or expansion within a complex increases the required minimum parking or creates more customers than originally planned who cannot be accommodated.   

The TAB generally supports business opportunities in Enterprise.  However, in this case the parking is a significant problem.  This application covers 1 of 12 buildings in a warehouse complex.  The applicant indicated approximately 15 people would be employed in this building.  Parking adjacent to the building is 5 parking places and 2 handicap slots.  The aerial photos show some additional parking along the southern boundary has been walled off for storage areas, further reducing the available parking.

The TAB considered a condition that the parking waiver apply only to this applicant.  The staff advised the TAB, this type of waiver is difficult to enforce and may not be legally defendable.

The 12 bicycle slots in this location will not have a significant effect on the actual parking required.

This is a case where the minimum parking requirement has been met.  However, this complex does not have sufficient parking for the actual uses.  Title 30 requires the property owner to provide adequate parking ;not just the minimum standard.

The are several commercial/industrial complexes in Enterprise where the uses create a customer/employee parking need that exceeds the available parking.  This damages business in the effected complexes.

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB March 30, 2016: HELD to the April 27, 2016 TAB meeting per prior request of the applicant.  (Not previously heard)

 

Waiver of Development Standards #1 & #2          WITHDRAWN by applicant

Waiver of Development Standards #3                   APPROVE

Design Review                                                         APPROVE

ADD Current Planning conditions:

·         Minimize fill as much as possible while accomplishing drainage on the lot;

·         Six foot wall not to extend past the side of the house along Warbonnet Way;

·         Exterior wall height adjacent to right-of-way to be measured from center line of road height;

 

The applicant has an excellent project redesign.  The new design is a better fit for the neighborhood and should require less grading.  The new design allowed the applicant to withdraw Waiver of Development Standards #s 1 and 2.

 

The residents are concerned with several items.

·      The redundant wall placement along the western boundary.

·      Rural road standards to applied to Warbonnet way.

·      How the drainage will be accomplished?

·      The property grading.

The applicant apparently has not done a preliminary drainage and grading plan and as a result could not answer questions on those items: their reply was that it would be taken care of later.  The TAB recommended the applicant and the neighbors stay in close contact to coordinate these items.

The TAB was concerned with three items.  In previous applications where the wall height waiver was withdrawn. The actual wall height was not lower than originally planned.  The wall was placed on top of a berm to make up for the height that would have been allowed with a waiver.  This technically meets Title 30 codes but does not enhance the neighborhood. The net effect is a canyon like look to the street.  The canyon look is not appropriated for a RNP-1.  The TAB added a recommendation that the wall heights be measure from the high point on the adjacent road to prevent a berm being used to avoid a wall height waiver.

The applicant stated the redundant wall needs to be 4 or 18 inches.  The Title 30 standard is 4 or 30 inches.

The second item is the cul-de-sac sight lines and canyon wall effect along Warbonnet Way.  The TAB recommends the full wall height only extend to the front side of the home.  Then reduced to three feet to the cul-de-sac entrance.  This provides for an excellent site line and reduces the canyon effect along Warbonnet Way.

The third item is how each lot/pad is graded.  Will the entire lot be filled to level or just the house pad be elevated with grading for drainage?  The TAB has observed the leveling of the entire project or lot, as opposed to stair step grading on each house lot/pad.  Such grading results in excessive fill and walls that are higher than necessary.  The TAB could not obtain an answer to how the lots would be graded and where the drainage would be located.  Other developers have presented the preliminary grading and drainage plans for the residents and TAB to evaluate.
