PREVIOUS ACTION Enterprise TAB February 15, 2017: Held to March 29, 2017 TAB meeting, per the applicant.

 

This project has significant opposition from the adjacent neighbors. A neighborhood meeting was held as requested by the TAB. The meeting resulted in a modified plan submitted to the staff on March 27, 2017. The modifications are:

  • The western-most, in-line building foot print, was increased.
  • Eliminated parking between the two in-line buildings.
  • Both drive-throughs building orientation, were rotated to eliminate traffic conflicts and improve traffic flow.
  • The sidewalk along Blue Diamond is now detached.
  • Increased border landscaping replaced parking south of the convenience store.
  • The applicant will have to remove 5,000 cubic yards of dirt to lower the site eastern elevation.

 

The residents' concerns are:

  • The convenience store is too close to residential.
  • The Title 30 setback for the convenience should not be waived.
  • Concerned with effects of lighting and signage on their adjacent properties.
  • Concerned with late night deliveries.
  • Parking behind the convenience could cause a disturbance affecting the neighbors.
  • The potential benzene release effects, resulting from the gas pump and vehicle operations.
  • There are sufficient convenience stores and gas pumps in the area.
  • Increased traffic on El Capitan Way due to commercial activity.
  • Eliminate parking on the south side of Pad A, convenience store.
  • Landscape the south side of Pad A, convenience store, to further soften the building's presence.

 

The TAB considered:

  • The adjacent neighbors are very concerned with how this project will affect their life style and property.
  • Late night deliveries are not appropriate with adjacent residential.
  • The applicant has met with the neighbors and made changes to their plans.
  • The southern border has a larger landscape buffer that found in most projects.
  • The in-line buildings are effective in shielding the neighbors form the drive through pads.
  • The entire project is very well landscaped.
  • The property depth is the result of land use decisions made years ago.
  • Solutions must be found to accommodate businesses that require setbacks while protecting the adjacent residents.
  • Lighting and signage were not included in this application.
  • The convenience store needs an increased setback or no waiver.
  • El Capitan Way is a collector that will extend south of Cactus Ave.
  • The property slopes 11 to 13 feet west to east.
  • Will the slope affect the buffer provided to the residents?

 

The TAB vote on this application was split. One side felt the setback standards should not be waived and the project could be redesigned to eliminate the setback waiver. The other side felt the buffering provided was sufficient to protect the adjacent residents. If, the parking behind the Pad A is replaced by landscaping.

 

Lighting and signage were not covered in this application. With adjacent residential, the TAB has consistently recommended a Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

 

Due to the high neighborhood interest, any significant change to plans should be reviewed as a public hearing.

 

The applicant's project is well parked and can afford to lose the 6 parking spaces behind Pad A. Eliminating the parking and replacing with landscaping would be an excellent additional concession to the neighbors. The TAB recommends this be accomplished.

 

The TAB recommends the delivery hours be restricted to county day light hours.

 

6.        VC-0174-17 - IOTA TUSCAN, LLC, ET AL:

Motion to:

APPROVE the Variance restricted to 12 of 29 lots.

Per staff if approved conditions.

Motion PASSED.

 

VARIANCE to reduce front yard setback for an approved single family residential subdivision on 13.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community. Generally located 1,200 feet north of Stonewater Lane and 1,600 feet west of Southern Highlands Parkway within Enterprise. SB/md/ma (For possible action)             PC 4/18/17

 

The applicant has previously received significant setback waivers. The staff is opposed to this variance and considers it a self-imposed hardship. The applicant intends to use this variance on 1 of 3 home designs. However, the requested variance is for 29 lots. The setback is intended to provide for a side entry garage for one model.

 

The project has already received a variance from 40-foot setback to 20 feet.

 

The TAB has consistently rejected blanket variances. There is a concern with the potential canyon effect within this project. The previously allowed setback reduction has given the applicant significant relief from the standards for the larger lots found in this subdivision. With three home designs, the TAB recommends 12 lots be allowed this variance. The variance can be used on any 12 of the 29 lots.

General Business

  • Enterprise TAB to receive County staff comments, discuss and examine possible courses of action concerning a citizens letter(To Whom It May Concern, by W. David Manson March 1, 2017) submitted to the TAB on March 1, 2017 during the general public comment period. (for possible action)

 

The TAB received a briefing From the Advanced Planning staff. The key points were:

  • Land use and zoning are two separate and distinct items.
    • Land use is a future plan.
    • Zoning grants certain rights as to how the property can be used.
  • Land use maps currently use red lines around the RNP-1 areas
    • This will show the public facilities with red lines around them as they are a different land use.
    • The intent is to remove the red line from around the public facilities within the RNP-1 areas in the next major land use update.
  • The RNP-1 overlay is zoning.
    • The RNP-1 overlay is shown on the public facilities within an established RNP-1.
    • It is assumed that the land use will be updated to match the overlay.
  • The staff has determined the non-conforming zone change is a sufficiently rigorous process to make the public aware of change within and around the RNP-1 areas.

 

TAB added the following comments and questions.

  • When a reserved public facility land is released form the county, how does an individual find the release information?
  • Many individuals use planned land use to determine if they are going to purchase a property.
  • It appears that public facilities land release is not put through the land use process.
  • The information is not readily available to the public.

 

  • The TAB will discuss guidelines for the formation of a land use motion. ( for discussion)
