recommendation. Dean Grand, the applicant, addressed the Commission. Kevin Lowe, Chair of The Churchill
Farms Architectural Control Committee, addressed the Commission in support of the applicant and his project.
After the discussion, Patrick Walsh made a motion to deny the requested variance to Section 34020-G.2., of the
Subdivision Regulations as there remains substantial land area on this lot which would allow the placement of a
storage shed. Cynthia Smith seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 7-0.
6. a. Consideration and possible action on a request for a Rezoning of 2.708 acres in the Ruidosa Irrigation
Company and Clement Stubblefield Surveys, from C-2A, Commercial First Height to C-2A, Commercial First
Height, to amend the previous rezoning condition, or any more restrictive district, to be known as Alu-Cut
International, Inc. Cynthia Smith made a motion to approve the requested rezoning of 2.708 acres in the Ruidosa
Irrigation Company and Clement Stubblefield Surveys, from C-2A, Commercial First Height to C-2A, Commercial
First Height, thereby revising the restriction included in the original rezoning to allow site development of Alu-Cut
International, Inc., prior to recording the plat, provided the plat is recorded prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. Claude Proctor seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 7-0.
b. Consideration and possible action on a request for a Detailed Development Plan for 2.708 acres in the
Ruidosa Irrigation Company and Clement Stubblefield Surveys, to be known as Alu-Cut International, Inc., with
Variances to the Subdivision Regulations, located on Industrial Avenue.
Wendy Walsh gave the staff report and recommendation for items a. and b. Steve Sherrill, agent for the
applicant, addressed the Commission. Vic Flores, adjacent property owner, addressed the Commission with his
concerns which included the following: preservation of the existing Hackberry trees, consideration of a taller
privacy fence adjacent to the residential property owners on the west side and maintenance of the fence, location of
security lights on the west side, location of trash dumpsters, potential for toxic waste production and chemical
burning, drainage concerns, burning, noise levels, hours of operation, openings towards residential area and
potential welding activities. Steve Sherrill responded to his concerns: the fence along the west side meets the
maximum standards, there will be re-grading of the drainage swale, so some new trees will be planted in place of
the Hackberry trees, the trash receptacle location will be negotiable in future, hours of operation will probably be
7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with no night shifts, and occasional weekend work, Alu-Cut will own and maintain the
fence. After the discussion, Pat Walsh made a motion to approve a Detailed Development Plan of 2.708 acres in
the Ruidosa Irrigation Company and Clement Stubblefield Surveys, provided the Technical Issues are addressed
prior to City Council consideration, and approval of a variance to Section 34020 F.3. of the Subdivision
Regulations, thereby allowing an additional driveway access onto Industrial Avenue, after making the Required
findings of fact. Charles Parker seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 7-0.
