[0:20] Morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Wednesday September 2, 2021, meeting of the Lake
[0:26] Haves and City Planning and Zoning Commission. If you please rise and join me for the pledge.
[0:33] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

[0:50] Madam Secretary, would you please call the roll?
[1:00] Vice Chair to zero.
[1:03] Commissioner Lair.

[1:08] Chair Harris.
[1:10] Here.

[1:15] Commissioner Thornton.
[1:17] Commissioner Annette.
[1:19] Commissioner Stevenson.
[1:21] Commissioner Patel.
[1:23] Okay, seeing that we have a couple of vacancies up here with Miss Patel and Miss Costa.
[1:28] Please join us as alternates.
[1:36] Horrespondence and announcements.
[1:38] Mr. Gilbert.
[1:41] Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
[1:44] Nothing was approved by Council of Substance and
[1:48] Under last meeting, which is the number of
[1:50] abandonments and the election pamphlet should be
[1:53] going out soon with the General Plan info
[1:56] to all the households in town to review the ballot
[2:00] language coming up for the November election.
[2:03] That's all I have today.
[2:06] All right, thank you.
[2:09] Let me start by saying that this is the public hearing and there's a structured order to the proceeding.
[2:15] City staff will present each item.
[2:17] There will then be time for the commission to ask questions of the staff and then the applicant will have the opportunity to present their case to the commission.
[2:24] That being done, we will then open the proceedings through the public for their questions and input.
[2:29] I would ask at any one of the public, wish us to speak, limit their trips to the podium,
[2:33] and microphone to one, only keep all comments to less than three minutes into standpoint.
[2:38] And not discuss subject matter that it's not pertinent to the decision being considered
[2:42] here today after public testimony is taken.
[2:45] I will then close the public hearing and bring the motion back to the table for city staff
[2:49] exceptions and conditions of approval.
[2:52] The first item on today is, oh, I have not done the minutes.
[2:56] I was going to let you know, but we got to start with the approval
[2:58] of the minutes. Are there any, and that item is ID265367? Are there any additions, modifications,
[3:11] deletions to the minutes of the last meeting by commissioners? Hearing none, I will entertain
[3:17] a motion. Did you hear it?
[3:19] Visceral. I make a motion to accept the minutes as presented. We have a motion by
[3:25] measure a second by Mr. Tharton to approve the minutes as written. Any further discussion?
[3:32] Hearing none, let's go ahead and place our votes.
[3:45] The motion to approve the minutes passes seven to zero.
[3:48] Okay. The first motion on today's agenda is ID26-5347. This is a request to
[3:56] zone a portion of 2650% Dorado, Track 2316, Block 6, Lot 1A, Approximately 3,544 square
[4:06] feet from golf course, zoning to residential estate district.
[4:12] Mr. Kerns, your presentation, please.
[4:16] Thank you, Chairman.
[4:18] The subject property was combined with a piece of golf course property in 2019.
[4:23] It measures 0.27 acres and is developed with a single family home.
[4:27] It is located on the eastern corner of Paseo, Dorado, and Via Narana.
[4:32] The surrounding residential properties in the area are zone residential estates and
[4:36] developed with single family homes.
[4:38] This request is to reason the old golf course portion of the property.
[4:41] From golf course to residential estates will match the balance of the residential law.
[4:46] This will permit the property owner to use the added golf course land for residential
[4:50] uses in accessory structures that would not be permitted in the current zoning.
[4:56] The reason we'll allow the property owner to apply residential...
[5:00] The state's building setbacks and uses to the entire combined property. The general plan is currently low density residential. This rezone requests is in conformance with the general plan.
[5:11] A citizens meeting was held on July 17, 2026. The applicant stated that no neighbors attended the meeting in person, but one neighbor called in to support the rezone request.
[5:21] The reason request implies with the required findings of the development code this item is scheduled to be heard by the City Council at its October 13th, 2026 meeting.
[5:32] I'll be happy to answer any questions.
[5:34] The applicant is not present today, but they are on Zoom currently on Zoom or Teams.
[5:40] Are there any questions of staff by commissioners?
[5:44] Nope.
[5:49] Okay, you've indicated the applicant is not here, so it's kind of tough for the applicant to make a presentation. Does the applicant have anything to say on Zoom?
[6:00] I think they're just here. Listen up for the meeting.
[6:03] I want to say something.
[6:06] Hi. My name's Brianna. I'm not sure if you can see me. I can't.
[6:10] We got you all.
[6:11] Okay. Perfect. My name's Brianna Montgomery. I'm the property owner along with my husband. I'm representing him today. I just wanted to say thank you for hearing.
[6:20] And this are request and I'm really, I think Doug covered all of it, or whomever was speaking just now.
[6:26] I'm sorry it was hard to see covered all of it, but I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have as well in addition.
[6:33] Any questions of the applicant by commissioners?
[6:36] No, it was pretty straightforward.
[6:38] Thank you.
[6:39] Great.
[6:39] Thank you so much.
[6:40] Appreciate you.
[6:41] This is a public hearing, so I will open it up to the public.
[6:43] If there's anybody in the audience, we speak on this item.
[6:47] Now it's the time.
[6:50] Seeing none of go ahead and close the public hearing portion and bring it back to the table for staff's recommendations.
[6:57] The reason I'm requesting,
[6:59] complies with the required findings of the development code.
[7:01] It'll need to meet all normal residential states development code requirements.
[7:08] All right, commissioners.
[7:09] We are at the table for discussion and or a motion.
[7:13] Anybody?
[7:17] Mr. Thornton?
[7:18] I'm sorry.
[7:22] Okay.
[7:22] We have a motion. I'm Mr. Thornton. Do we have a second in London, Mr. Mr. Stevenson's
[7:29] second set.
[7:32] All right. Is there any further discussion on the issue?
[7:37] We have a motion by Mr. Mr. Thornton, a second by Mr. Stevenson, to approve ID265347 as stated.
[7:52] Any further discussion? Hearing none, let's go ahead and please our votes.
[8:09] the motion to approve or to recommend approval of the
[8:12] Reson passes 7 to 0.
[8:15] Regulations in good luck.
[8:17] All right.
[8:17] The next item on today's agenda is ID 265353.
[8:22] This is a request to adopt resolution number 26807.
[8:27] A men in track 282 parking in common master plan for 2430
[8:33] of our North, track 2182, Block 7, lot 3, to increase the parking in common area from a 75-foot
[8:41] setback to 125-foot setback and decrease the rear building setback from 75 feet to 25 feet
[8:49] in a limited commercial district. Mr. Gilbert, your presentation. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would
[8:57] like to point out a representative of the applicant to come in by submitting what's starting
[9:01] And this will be available to answering questions.
[9:07] And also, good morning members planning commission
[9:10] and the viewing public.
[9:12] The subject property is 2430 Kylo Boulevard North.
[9:15] The applicant plans to construct a new building on the lot,
[9:18] which is presently being used as a storage lot.
[9:21] The building on the property to the east was constructed
[9:23] at the back end of the property with 125 foot setback.
[9:27] And the applicant desires to build their new structure right
[9:30] next to it on the left where the west side
[9:33] at the same setback and share the front parking area between the two lots.
[9:38] This setback is 50 feet further back than the approved pick plan shows.
[9:42] The property to the west of the subject parcel has a building on it that is right up on the front
[9:48] property line that does not have room to provide for parking in common in the front of the property to connect to.
[9:56] The zoning map to the property is located in the limited commercial north of Tyre.
[10:00] Overlay district and surrounded by the same zoning on all sides, except on the rear, where single-family zoning exists across the alley.
[10:10] The applicant wants to push the building back to match the neighboring building to the east and re-stripe the entire shared parking area in front of the both buildings,
[10:17] which would then differ from the approved pick plan that shows a specific parking design just off in parallel to Kyua within the front 75 feet of a lot.
[10:27] But this plan also provides more parking than the original pick plan.
[10:31] And I want to forward to that briefly. There's the original parking and common plan.
[10:37] And in the southwest corner of this drawing, the third lot from the left is the one that I should have marked out apologize.
[10:42] that is the subject parcel and the neighbors to the east of it and there's roughly 18 spaces represented with parking islands on the original plan.
[10:54] So the current plan they would have more traffic circulation through the site with maintaining the single entrance that's already there on the neighbor to the east and the common air lots would just be completely restriped to match what you see on here.
[11:11] Um, extending in the future to the east, which would be to the top of the PIC site plan.
[11:18] There's the, the, the room that's there would be allow, would allow for the current
[11:24] PIC plan to be followed going to the east.
[11:27] So this is just a fill in kind of a gap where the building to the west was right up front
[11:32] on the street blocking the parking common and the two lots over the building is, I'm sorry,
[11:38] building is way far back, and if this building was placed at the setback line that the district
[11:47] requires to accommodate the parking common, you would have a three-step front-age for all three
[11:54] lots. And staff believes that this plan is the best way to fix that difficult situation and to kind of
[12:02] congeal all the parking common into one efficiently usable square parking area instead of
[12:09] having one with no parking in front, one with complying with the plan and the next one
[12:15] having extra long deep parking. So it's just an unwieldy situation.
[12:23] So basically there's
[12:23] not much else that can be done to facilitate proper parking provision with how some form of
[12:28] amendment. Mr. Chair, that's all I have on this. I'll answer any questions. May
[12:33] have, I know it's confusing, but we believe that staff is the best solution to
[12:38] a vexing problem on these three particular lots in a row here. And they happen to
[12:43] have the middle of the three.
[12:46] Let's go back to your colored slides in the beginning, just for clarification.
[12:54] In that
[12:54] slide, you can see that the building to the, what you're calling the West on the left
[13:00] inside that would be 2420 2420 that building is all the way out to the front
[13:07] correct okay the building on the right hand side 24 24 2440 2440 how far back
[13:16] is that one from the street that one set the 125 set back which is what the
[13:21] between lots asking to match.
[13:28] And they're looking to match the 125.
[13:32] And this plan right here that was presented the lot
[13:38] that's to the east.
[13:39] They're going to work with that owner to re-stripe both of them
[13:42] to where you have a parking lot with 21 spaces
[13:45] and circulation throughout the lot.
[13:50] Thanks for the clarification.
[13:51] Any questions of staff by commissioners?
[13:53] This is important.
[13:54] It's a quick one.
[13:55] So it's not nothing with a lot, too, right?
[13:58] The second lock.
[13:58] I think that's 24, 20.
[13:59] Can you go back to that?
[14:00] Right.
[14:01] 24, 20 is the target property.
[14:04] That's the one to the left, right?
[14:06] Or can you go back to that?
[14:08] That's like.
[14:10] 24, 20.
[14:11] That's the second.
[14:14] Sorry.
[14:14] 24, 30 is target property.
[14:16] 24, 20 is the property to the west.
[14:19] 24, 40 to the east.
[14:21] Okay.
[14:21] It's the only four, 20 is not being affected at all, right?
[14:23] I think there's a, you know, sort of says the easement back there, so they wouldn't feel the doing anything with that.
[14:29] I don't know if that's a, I don't think it should affect it, but that's, I was just making sure nothing.
[14:34] We're not doing anything with, it's not affecting 2420.
[14:38] No.
[14:39] Yeah, that's all.
[14:41] Mr. Sievesson.
[14:43] So how did we get from 2420 with a building all the way to the front with no common parking in common to 2440?
[14:51] or 40 that's 125 feet back with a different parking plan.
[15:00] Parking in common plan that's showing buildings at 75 feet, so I assume something was done 2440 to approve that to be said back like it is.
[15:12] Yes, the permits were been required to be issued for its construction.
[15:18] Okay, it's a relatively new site as well.
[15:21] And obviously there's a lot of undeveloped properties to the east, so are we going to have this on every lot then moving forward?
[15:30] Are they under the existing 75-foot setback off of Kayawa?
[15:37] The going to the east, if you look at 2440, the storage slot next to it, which is actually part of the 2440 property.
[15:48] That storage slot goes out to the edge of the parking in common.
[15:52] So the properties that develop going east are going to be matching the parking in common as they come in for development.
[15:58] We're going to be requiring them and that we are adjusting to or the parking and common map that we have that shows 75 foot setback.
[16:08] This plan right here, they'll be matching the approved plan for planning commission.
[16:13] The only reason this is an issue is because it's in between one that's too far forward, one that's too far back.
[16:21] And I might submit that the parking and common plan might have been put into place after those structures were there.
[16:31] It might be legal not conforming.
[16:33] Yeah, the two buildings on 24, 20 and 24, 10 have been almost 30 plus years.
[16:39] Yeah, they've been there.
[16:41] I guess I'm just trying to process.
[16:47] So where are we going to be? Are we going to have this then for every lot at once to be developed?
[16:52] moving forward up, Kioa? No. I would suggest that everybody has the ability to ask, but whether
[17:03] or not, it's acceptable, it would be determined at that time.
[17:09] Staff police, this is an adequate solution to the problem that's presented with this particular
[17:14] lot. If it had been a lot further east, we would have asked that they followed a parking
[17:19] comment point.
[17:21] Mr. Tudiment.
[17:22] Thank you, Mr. Chair and Commission.
[17:24] I would just like to add if, Chris, if you can go to the Parking and Common proposed
[17:27] Parking and Common Plan.
[17:29] It's just important to note that you are correct.
[17:32] It was somewhere in the 90s where this Parking and Common Plan took place.
[17:36] The little buildings were built prior to this plan.
[17:39] It is important to note if you could go to the proposed Parking and Common.
[17:43] It is important to note that when you come in on the east side of the property, the entrance to
[17:48] property of the first two rows of parking, those will be able to continue with that master parking
[17:54] in common plan. So if you could see on that plan there's a 75-foot set back line on the proposed
[18:00] lock, those two rows of parking will continue up the block to the east and match the master parking
[18:07] in common plan. That makes sense. Chris, if you could point that out on there. Yeah, I'm running
[18:14] the arrow there. There's the 75-foot step back. So potentially those buildings moving to the
[18:20] east could be set back there, but you could see how those first two rows of parking would continue
[18:25] up the block. So this is actually adding some additional parking for these two properties, but it won't
[18:32] affect it moving to the east. Thank you, hopefully that clarifies. Any questions, Mr.
[18:41] And if you look at the area map the storage area for 2440 is already set with a front boundary next to the parking common line.
[18:54] So as it extends east it's going to go across the front of that and head on down the street.
[19:00] And we're not going to allow anything intensely be pushed back unless it comes to you guys for approval.
[19:06] 2524 has the same situation.
[19:11] I'm sorry.
[19:12] It's a 2524 as the same as a 2440.
[19:17] That's all.
[19:17] That's all.
[19:19] With the storage lot.
[19:22] Okay.
[19:22] So we're just doing 2430 to match 2440, but anything.
[19:29] We're not affecting any other parking in common.
[19:31] We're not changing.
[19:33] No.
[19:33] No.
[19:34] Any other questions?
[19:39] Right.
[19:39] Does that conclude your presentation?
[19:42] Yes, I'm done, Mr. Chairman, thank you.
[19:44] OK, is the applicant present?
[19:47] Would you like to make a presentation?
[19:53] You need to come to the microphone to state your name
[19:55] for the record, please.
[19:57] Name is Colby, good morning.
[20:00] Sorry, your name again?
[20:01] Colby?
[20:01] Colby? Okay.
[20:03] So, I just have a couple questions for you guys.
[20:10] Are
[20:13] there any modifications that you guys would like to see shown on the submitted or revised
[20:19] site plan named option 4?
[20:23] We don't have anything to do with the design of the project.
[20:27] Okay.
[20:28] I was just told to ask these questions because this is a way of my head.
[20:32] So I apologize.
[20:33] This is not a design review hearing.
[20:36] OK.
[20:42] Well, then I guess that is it because the other one is also
[20:45] a design question.
[20:48] Right.
[20:48] Thank you.
[20:51] Right, I'll now open it up to the public.
[20:53] Is there anybody in the audience who wishes to speak on this item?
[20:56] Anybody at all?
[20:57] Seeing none, I'll go ahead and close the public hearing portion
[21:00] and bring it back to the table for staff recommendations.
[21:05] Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
[21:06] For co-compliance, we have three requirements to development.
[21:10] How substantially matched the submitted parking and common site plan, also attached to the Exhibit A to the Resolution Design Review Approval to ensure compliance with all applicable city codes, including driveway locations and parking, is required prior to the development of the properties and finally any private de-districtions that need to be amended for this parking change are required to be recorded with Mojave County.
[21:37] Any questions of staff by commissioners?
[21:41] All right.
[21:41] We are at the table for discussion and we're emotion on this item.
[21:45] It's the commissioners.
[21:46] Mr. Zero.
[21:46] Make a motion.
[21:47] All right.
[21:49] On ID-26-5353,
[21:52] make a motion to accept the request to adopt resolution.
[21:56] Number 26-07,
[21:58] Amending Track 2182,

[22:02] we'll have a new North Track 2-182 block 7-03 to increase the parking in common area from a 75-foot
[22:10] setback to a 125-foot setback and decrease the rear building setback from 75 feet to 25 feet
[22:17] in the limited commercial district North Kia will overlay C-1 in KO.
[22:24] Thank you.
[22:25] Okay, do we have a second?
[22:28] Second.

[22:39] Any further discussion on the motion?
