A. Section 5.03 Review Standards
1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted engineering
standards and approved by the Board of County Commissioners shall either be in place
or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use; (A97-60)
Staff Comment: The applicant has indicated Mid Valley Metropolitan District will provide
adequate water and sanitation service.
2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the
proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be in place
or shall be constructed in con1unction with the proposed use;
Staff Comment: The applicant has provided information showing all visitations for the
proposed use will come from internal home owners of the subdivision and not "offsite" users,
further that much of the use generated will be made by a combination of vehicular and
pedestrian trips. For this non-commercial use, the internal road has been built to county
standards and no further improvements will be necessary to accommodate the traffic volumes
on this road which exist to date and will not increase significantly.
Additionally the Applicant provided parking information gathered from the ITE Trip
Generation Manual, 61
h Edition showing a ''typical" Recreational Community Center land use
which has 22.88 vehicles per workday per 1,000 sq. ft ., resulting in 27.45 vehicles for this
1,200 sq. ft. use per day. Assuming each space turning over 3 times a day, the proposal has ten
(10) parking spaces which is deemed an adequate number.
2
3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from adjacent uses
of land through installation of screen fences or landscape materials on the periphery
of the lot and by location of intensively utilized areas, access points, lighting and signs
in such a manner as to protect established neighborhood character;
Staff Comment: The proposed Community Center is located north of the entrance of Cerise
Ranch although well back from the ROW of Highway 82 and is adjacent to other common use
areas such as a volleyball court and the picnic shelter. The area has been designated a common
area on the previously approved Final Plat and is shown on the plan to be approximately 40 feet
from the side proposed line adjacent to lot 2. · The building envelope established on Lot 2 will
assure an adequate distance, approximately 400 ft ., from the proposed use and will not impact
any single family dwelling units .
The proposed building and pool are neighborhood amenities and will not detrimentally affect
the overall character of the community. The applicant has not indicated any provisions
specifically for screening the proposed use other than on the site drawing . It is the opinion of
___ ---~ lanning staff that the use is not intrusive, and i ~placed well back from uses outside of the
Cerise Ranch development.
Additionally, the hours of operations have not been established and are stated to be determined
by the HOA at the time of building completion.
