Review, consideration, and possible action on a transfer of Conditional Use Permit No. 8-95 to a new permittee, filed by Arland Properties LLC., which would allow for a dental office within an R- Single Family and Multiple Family Residential Zoning District, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION CUP 8-95 was approved on September 8, 1995 for a dental office to be located within an R – Single Family Multiple Family Residential Zoning District. The Conditional Use Permit was transferred to Elko Endodontics PLLC. on September 3, 2019. The property was sold to the new applicant on August 30, 2024 which therefore requires the CUP to be transferred to the new owner. None of the commissioners needed to sit this item out. The applicant, Dr. Thomas Dickson, was present. There were no public comments. Cathy Laughlin, City Planner, went over the City of Elko Staff Report, dated September 16, 2024, which listed seven findings and recommended conditional approval with the three conditions from the original CUP and two additional conditions from the Planning department. A dental office in an R zone would not be allowed under current City Code, but the original CUP was approved in 1995. The property use has remained as a dental office ever since, so it has a legal non-conforming status which it has never lost. City Code Section 3-2-18, allows for the Planning Commission to transfer a CUP to a new owner. Ralph Negron, Development Manager, had no concerns and recommended approval. Jamie Winrod, Fire Marshal, had no comments or concerns. Scott Wilkinson, Assistant City Manager, had no comments or concerns. None of the commissioners had any questions. Dr. Dickson did not have any final comments nor were there any final public comments. ** A motion was made by Commissioner Mendive, seconded by Vice-Chairman Beck to conditionally approve the transfer of Conditional Use Permit No. 8-95 subject to the conditions in the City of Elko Staff report dated September 16, 2024, listed as follows: Original CUP 9-95 Conditions: 1. Business hours to be approximately 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 2. No exterior lighting signs permitted. 3. The development must meet fire department requirements. Planning Department Conditions: October 1, 2024 City of Elko Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 4  1. The permit is granted to the applicant, Arland Properties LLC., for 1260 6th Street for the use of a dental office. 2. The transfer of CUP 8-95 shall be recorded with the Elko County Recorder’s office within 60 days after approval. Commissioner Mendive’s findings to support the motion are the existing conditional use permit is consistent with the Land Use Component of the Master Plan. The existing conditional use is consistent with the Transportation Component of the Master Plan. The proposed use, intensity of use and limitations of intensity of use will not create any significant cumulative issues on the existing transportation system. The transfer of Conditional Use Permit is in conformance with the Wellhead Protection Plan. The transfer of the existing conditional use permit is in conformance with Section 3-2-3 of City code. The existing conditional use permit is not in conformance with Section 3-2-5(E)(3) of City code. With the filing of the application for the transfer from permittee to new owner, the applicant is in conformance with Section 3-2-18 of City code. The property as developed is in conformance with City Code Section 3-2-17 for off street parking requirements. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) VII. REPORTS A. Summary of City Council Actions Ms. Laughlin said a new City Clerk has been appointed. For the past several months she was Acting City Clerk, in addition to her role as City Planner. The Planning department is continuing to help the Clerk’s department, but her workload has been reduced a little bit. Progress on the Planning Commission’s Annual Work Program will be minimal due to her extra duties. There have been several items on the City Council agendas. There was a deed of dedication done for Delaware Street. Part of the road was built on the adjacent City-owned parcel, so that portion was dedicated, along with additional width to develop a right-turn lane. The City wants to convey the City-owned parcel to the Boys and Girls Club. There was also a number of other deeds of dedication of right-of-way for City-owned parcels that are actually streets. These parcels will be removed from the land inventory. There are three different land sales being processed, one of which is a land exchange with Jordanelle Third Mortgage, which has just been completed. Once the other two land sales are complete, she will bring the land inventory to the Planning Commission. B. Summary of Redevelopment Agency Actions Ms. Laughlin said there was not a Redevelopment Agency meeting in September, but there was one in August, which she reported on at last month’s meeting. There are two infrastructure grants currently under construction and one that just wrapped up. A request for reimbursement should be submitted for the completed one soon. The next storefront grant application period will open again in January. October 1, 2024 City of Elko Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 4  C. Training VIII.
