Non-Routine Discussion Items
- Item #12: Applicant requested multiple use permits for various uses in a CR district, including reducing separation distances to as low as 66 feet and allowing uses not in conjunction with a resort hotel. Staff recommended approval of use permits #3 (urgent care), #7 (outdoor market), and #10 (live entertainment) but denial of the others (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11–13). The Enterprise Town Board recommended approval of #1–3 (with #3 limited to urgent care only), #5–11, and denial of #4, 12, and 13. 14 cards in support and 9 cards in protest were received. Commissioner Steve Kirk questioned why staff recommended denial of use permits #1 (vocational training) and #2 (instruction/tutoring); staff explained those uses are more suited for lower-intensity commercial zones, whereas the CR zone encourages entertainment uses.
- Item #13: A waiver of development standards to legalize a 442-square-foot addition by reducing the rear setback from 20 feet to 17 feet, due to incomplete building permits for a previous addition. Staff recommended denial based on self-imposed hardship. The Paradise Town Board recommended approval. 10 cards in support and 2 cards in protest were received.
- Items #14–17 (Companion): A plan amendment from Ranch Estate Neighborhood to Neighborhood Commercial with zone change from RS-20 to CG, removal of the Neighborhood Protection (RMP) overlay, vacation of rights-of-way for detached sidewalks and patent easements, and waiver of development standards for reduced buffering, modified residential adjacency, and alternative driveway geometries. The applicant proposed a three-building, 17,000-square-foot retail complex with a drive-through. Staff recommended approval of the vacation but denial of the plan amendment, zone change, waiver of standards, and design review, citing the commercial intensity as too detrimental to the adjacent RMP to the west and south. The Enterprise Town Board recommended conditional approval (with reductions to CN commercial neighborhood and VS, and operational restrictions to daylight hours) but denial of waiver #2 and design review. 1 card in support on the plan amendment/zone change, 2 cards in support on the vacation; 10 cards in protest on the plan amendment and waiver, 11 cards on the zone change, 7 cards on the vacation; plus 2 letters in protest on the zone change/vacation and 3 letters on the plan amendment/waiver.
- Items #18–22 (Companion): A plan amendment from Ranch Estate Neighborhood to Mid-Intensity Suburban Neighborhood, zone change from RS-20 to RS-3.3, removal of the RMP overlay, vacations for detached sidewalks, and design review for a 57-lot single-family residential subdivision with 10,000+ sq ft lots adjacent to the RMP. The only waiver was to increase driveway width for ranch homes with RV garages. Staff recommended denial of the entire set because the plan amendment/zone change was too intense for the RMP. The Enterprise Town Board also recommended denial of all five applications. 1 card in support on the plan amendment/zone change, 4 cards on the vacation/waiver; 11 cards in protest on the plan amendment, 10 on the zone change, and 9 on the vacation and waiver.
