WHEREAS, the owner and applicant feel that by working with the
property owners all issues can be addressed to reduce the negative
impact of the truss plant, and
WHEREAS, a meeting was held on August 30, 1994, with the
applicant, the owner and the surrounding area residents. The
residents indicated that the truss plant is not a compatible use for
the area. The applicant asked the residents what problems they
foresaw and what he could do to address those problems. Possible
solutions discussed to alleviate those problems were to have the
operation take place in a building, and to limit the hours of
operation. The applicant made no specific commitments to reduce the
impact of the plant by erecting a building or by limiting hours of
operation. The citizens at the meeting made it clear that they are
opposed to the truss plant, and no mitigating factors could reduce the
negative impacts caused from operation of the facility, The residents
indicated that they are not opposed to other types of operations and
would provide the applicant with other uses that they would consider
compatible, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Department staff recommended
denial of this proposed Specific Use Permit based on the fact that the
property owners in the area have indicated that the proposed use is
not compatible with the surrounding residential land uses, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission did not follow
staff's recommendation and approved the proposed use. The Commission
indicated that no matter what decision was made on the item someone
would be negatively affected. The Commission felt the best way to
mi tigate the issue would be to require specific conditions for the
proposed use. The Commission required the operation of the business
to be wi thin an enclosed building and required additional fencing.
These requirements would allow the owner to use the M zoned property
for the proposed plant, decreasing noise and dust in the area,
reducing the impact on the surrounding residential area, and
WHEREAS, at the publiC hearing before the Mohave County Planning
and Zoning Commission on September 14, 1994, the Commission
recommended APPROVAL for a Specific Use Permit subject to the
following:
1. That the Specific Use Permit be for a truss manufacturing
plant; any new use will require a new Specific Use Permit.
2. All cutting and assembly operations to be within an enclosed
building.
