1. Petition opposed (10 pages), submitted by Carey Chandler.
REPRESENTATIVE(S): Present
SPEAKER(S): Present
DISCUSSION: There being no objections, Item No. 32 was heard in conjunction with Item No. 33.
Following introduction of Item Nos. 32 and 33, staff advised that the Enterprise Town Board recommended denial, and the Planning Commission recommended approval.
The Board was addressed by Tony Celeste, the applicant’s representative, who advised that the subject property was approximately 12 acres located on the north west corner of St. Rose Parkway and Bermuda Road; to the north was zoned residential high; was an approved R-4 development; towards the east side of Bermuda Road was a Lennar product located in the City of Henderson, nearing completion, and zoned with approximately 15 units per acre; immediately to the north was zoned R-3; requested a zone change being that the site was master planned commercial general, lacked direct accessibility onto St. Rose Parkway, and was zoned C-2 since 1995 without any plans submitted for commercial development; a fast food establishment and an auto repair business were established on the corner of St. Rose Parkway and Bermuda Road with the subject property immediately adjacent; on the south side of St. Rose Parkway, in the City of Henderson, was employment center driven development uses creating the demand for a diverse housing mix; identified existing commercial shopping centers and grocery stores; staff recommended approval for the zone change; the site plan proposed access from Bermuda Road, provided an emergency access gate only onto Fairfield Avenue and no access onto Neal Avenue to prevent traffic from accessing the adjacent residential developments; proposed two-story homes on Fairfield Avenue, 24 feet in height, and a garage on the bottom with the living unit located above; three-story homes internal to the site; requested a waiver to increase the height of the three-story homes to 38 feet from 35 feet to hide mechanical equipment and increase the architectural compatibility of the structures; requested a waiver to reduce the landscaping buffer width from six feet to five feet in two areas, to maintain the number of parking spaces, and the amount of plants required would still meet or exceed code requirements; and requested approval for an R-4 multi-family development.
Carey Chandler, a neighbor, spoke regarding areas of concern including the lack of commercial services in Enterprise; residents were told the subject property would be used for commercial development; already surrounded by apartments; the increased height of the three-story homes; already was a high density area with increased traffic; and residents would like to walk to stores and restaurants.
Commissioner Naft advised that a traffic study was conducted regarding the impact of a grocery store on the subject property site; and discussed the location and buffering of the trash receptacles with the applicant’s representative. | Pass |
