CITY OF FARMINGTON
MEMO
DATE: March 27, 2014
TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners
FROM: Mary L. Holton, AICP, Community Development Director
RE: Proposed revisions to UDC Section 2.4.59 Vehicle repair; paint and body shops
________________________________________________________________
Section 2.4.59 of the City’s Unified Development Code (UDC) currently reads:
2.4.59 Vehicle repair; paint and body shops. (Retail, service and commercial use
categories; vehicle repair).
Vehicle repair and lubrication, oil changes, paint and bodywork and other maintenance
services shall comply with the standards of this section.
A. All repairs must be conducted within an enclosed building.
B. All inoperable automobiles upon which repairs are to be conducted shall be enclosed
behind a six-foot screening fence.
C. No repairs shall be conducted within 200 feet of any residential district boundary.
D. No automobile repair or service facility shall be permitted to have bay doors facing a
residential district.
Issue
The intent of subsections A through D is to protect adjoining uses from typical nuisances
associated with vehicle repairs. The intent of subsections C and D is to specifically protect
residential uses. In the past year, staff has observed that the presence of nonresidential
uses (i.e., primarily institutional uses, such as the Boys and Girls Club, Navajo Prep, etc.)
located in residential districts have required that owners of proposed vehicle repair shops,
which are located in districts that allow those uses by right, to petition the Administrative
Review Board for variances in order to open those businesses.
As a result, staff recommends text revisions to specify that the protections apply to
residential uses located in residential districts. These revisions are also intended to
eliminate the need for this type of variance for some of these business owners, thus
providing them with the ability to open their businesses quicker.
Recommendation
Community Development staff recommend that subsections C and D contained in Section
2.4.59 Vehicle repair; paint and body shops be revised with the following:
C. No repairs shall be conducted within 200 feet of any property line of a residential use
located within a residential district.
D. No automobile repair or service facility shall be permitted to have bay doors facing a
residential use located within a residential district.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PETITION REPORT
PP 13-03 – Little Creek Subdivision, Phase IV
Planning and Zoning Commission Discussion of PP 13-03 on March 13, 2014
Associate Planner Fran Fillerup presented the staff report on the preliminary plan for
Little Creek Subdivision, Phase IV for approximately 4.8 acres west of Phase 1 of the
Little Creek Subdivision. The zoning for this phase is SF-5 with single family lots of
5,000 square feet or greater and access to this subdivision will be from Piedras Street.
Mr. Fillerup stated that the drainage plan and street names have been received. This
area was annexed into the City recently.
Mr. Fillerup stated that a new street Starling Road will be accessed from the north via
Piedras Street and that the loop shown will be called Mockingbird Circle. Any access to
the south will be blocked until a Traffic Impact Analysis can be completed to evaluate a
future intersection with West Main Street. Staff recommends that this phase go forward,
but that no future phases are processed until the TIA is completed.
Mr. Fillerup noted that the homes all access Mockingbird Circle and with some side
yards along Starling Road and only rear yards are along Piedras Street. The lots will
have no access to Piedras Street and Starling Road. He added that improvements that
will be installed include street signs and mailboxes, and that the petitioner is aware of
maintaining safe sight triangles. Mr. Fillerup noted that the comments from water and
wastewater staff should reflect that plans have been reviewed and comments provided
to the petitioners engineer.
Chair Cardon questioned whether the developer was installing the fencing for the
subdivision. Mr. Fillerup stated that he did not know and that is not a decision that has
to be made at this time, only that they be aware of the restrictions and to anticipate safe
sight triangle at intersections. Commissioner Thompson stated that in one of the aerial
photos there appears to be a wash right through this subdivision. Mr. Fillerup reviewed
the current photos of the site and showed that there is no wash in this section; he felt it
could be a dirt road or track. The land is relatively flat now and dirt work for the
subdivision is ongoing. There were no further questions of staff from the Commission.
Joe Kozimor of 503 French Drive, Aztec, stated that he has read and understands staff’s
report and has no questions. He added that there is an arroyo farther to the west, but
the area Commissioner Thompson saw was a big bank built to keep people out of the
crushing area for their business. Chair Cardon asked if he would be constructing the
fencing. Mr. Kozimor stated no, but a note can be placed on the plat to show the
restricted no build area, as was done in Phase II. There were no further questions of the
petitioner from the Commission.
There was no discussion among the commissioners.
Planning and Zoning Commission Action of PP 13-03 on March 13, 2014
A motion was made by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner Ragsdale
to approve Petition PP 13-03 in accordance with staff’s recommendation, a request from
Joe Kozimor, represented by Sakura Engineering and Surveying, for the Preliminary
Plan for the Little Creek Subdivision, Phase IV, a 24-lot subdivision on 4.80 acres
30
located west of Little Creek Subdivision, Phase I and south of Piedras Street, subject to
technical and corrective changes.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PETITION REPORT
ZC 14-02 / SUP 14-02 – 3850 Virden
SF-7/SMHA to MF-M and a Group Care Facility
Planning and Zoning Commission Discussion of ZC 14-02/SUP 14-02 on March 13, 2014
Senior Planner Cynthia Lopez presented the staff report, a request from Masada House,
represented by Karen Chenault for a zone change from SF-7/SHMA Single Family with a
Special Mobile Home Area to the MF-M Multi-family Medium density district and for a
special use permit for a group care facility, which would allow more than 8 adults to live
in the residence. The property is located at 3850 Virden, north of Bloomfield Highway
and west of Browning Parkway. The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as
Industrial but the current zoning shows both sides of Virden as SF-7. There is a lot to
the northwest (one lot away) that is zoned MF-M with a mobile home park. Industrial
zoning is located all around the one block residential area.
Ms. Lopez stated the consideration for this petition should be first for the zone change
and second for the special use permit for the facility. She added that this residential
area does not meet the recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan. However, this
area will most likely remain residential. This type of change is supported by the
Comprehensive Plan as it would provide transitional housing. The proposed property is
a 5 bedroom, 3 bath house with a completely fenced backyard, which could be used for
extra parking. Staff recommends approval of both ZC 14-02 and SUP 14-02 for property
located at 3850 Virden.
Commissioner Thompson asked if this property was owned by the City of Farmington.
Ms. Lopez stated no, it is not. Masada House has a purchase agreement with the owner
contingent on the approval of the zone change and special use permit.
Karen Chenault of 610 N. Dustin answered that she had read and reviewed staff’s report
and had nothing to add. She provided an explanation of what Masada House is and the
service it provides for the benefit of new commissioners. Ms. Chenault stated all
participants must meet the criteria of being homeless and being in recovery. They are
screened to eliminate any identified pedophiles or violent offenders. This is not a half-
way house. The clients at Masada House are there because they want to be, not
because they have to be.
31
Masada House is a non-profit 501c3 program. The program currently serves only
women, not men or women with children. The average stay is around 6 months. All
clients are supervised and there is a very restrictive environment. The program is based
on a Federal program that identified what works best. Everyone has to be involved and
accountable to their peers is what makes program succeed. Ms. Chenault stated that
about 5 ½ years ago, the location at 610 N. Dustin was started. This location required
improvements to the property, making sure that the property was up to date with city
codes and installing ADA requirements. At the last appraisal, the property at 610 N.
Dustin has increased approximately 80,000 dollars.
Ms. Chenault stated that she is excited about this house, because it is in a good location
and has a Red Apple Transit flag stop not too far down the road, and hopes that the stop
could become a permanent location. This program has had great results with the
women but the men are underserved and need this program too.
Commissioner Freeman questioned Ms. Chenault because the previous location on
Schofield and this location seem like complete opposites. Ms. Chenault stated that if
she could change that she would, but that this house is move in ready, except for an
area to be built for an office. She stated that this is in a neighborhood on the edge of
what is needed. She added that this location was previously the Halvorson house and
that this is the best location they can get right now because of the stigma that goes with
this type of service.
Commissioner Jaques asked what types of background checks are done and who
performs them. Ms. Chenault stated that she and her staff do the background checks.
The checks can involve interviews or calls with probation officers, reports from correction
centers, proof of completing treatment and are currently in recovery, through personal
interviews with the applicant and reviewing police records. The clients at Masada House
are there by their own choice. Ms. Chenault added that she has been a therapist for 25
years.
Chair Cardon asked if there was anyone who received a letter within the 100’ boundary
to speak in favor of this petition. There was no one present to speak in favor of this
petition.
Jesus Araujo was not in attendance when the other parties were sworn in. He was
sworn in at the podium. He explained that about 3 weeks ago that lady (Karen
Chenault) came around and talked to the neighbors about Masada House. He felt she
didn’t understand that the neighbors do not want this in the neighborhood, that they had
already had experience with Halvorson House. She promised they didn’t need to worry,
but by the time there is a problem, it is already too late to deny the permit. Chair Cardon
asked if Mr. Araujo had problems when Halvorson House was there. Mr. Araujo stated
that the people at Halvorson House were just kids, not criminals or drug addicts. He felt
that adults would not be the same as having kids at that property. He closed saying that
this area is a little quiet community.
Commissioner Arnold asked the Director for Masada House to explain the monitoring of
the clients. Ms. Chenault stated that there are 4 phases of supervising the clients.
Phase I will last for 30 days and is very restrictive, there is no socialization and the
clients are only allowed to go to and from appointments and church. They must report in
every 3 hours or be back to the house within 3 hours. The client must provide
descriptions of everywhere they go and if there needs to be a change the client must call
32
and get it approved. Phase II allows some recreation and employment search, this also
lasts for 30 days. Phase III allows the client to apply for overnight passes, perhaps to
visit their children and can last for a while as the client is saving money and working.
Phase IV provides the client an opportunity to assist with paying for their housing. The
client is still required to informed staff where they will be, and occasionally staff will
check up on the client. If the client is not where they said they would be they will
returned to Phase I and have to go back through Phase I to III again. Chair Cardon
asked about involving the police. Ms. Chenault stated that the clients can be dismissed
from the program and the well-being of the clients is their first priority.
Mr. Araujo addressed having Halvorson House at this property, stating that in the
beginning things were good, but as time went by things got a little worse, no supervising
and when people have a problem, some turn out good and some don’t. Chair Cardon
asked if Mr. Araujo had ever called the police when Halvorson House was there. He
stated he did but sometimes it would take the police 2-3 hours to get there. One time
the kids got mad and threw bottles across the street at the houses.
Ms. Chenault readdressed this concern stating 2 differences; the first being that those
children at Halvorson House did not want to be there and were court ordered to that
facility; and secondly, that all of the clients at Masada House want to be there and are
not court ordered.
Commissioner Freeman asked Mr. Araujo where he would suggest that Masada House
be located in the city. Mr. Araujo stated he thought up by Esperanza, because you can’t
trust those kinds of people. Commissioner Freeman also asked if Mr. Araujo’s issue is
with the men. Mr. Araujo stated it was. Commissioner Freeman asked Mr. Araujo if he
would have an issue if the house was a women home. Mr. Araujo stated that either men
or women at this location would bother him. It was identified on the aerial photo that Mr.
Araujo’s home is across the street from this property. Commissioner Freeman asked
how long this home has been for sale. Ms. Chenault stated it has been on the market
for over a year, and was renovated by the realtor that owned it. Commission Arnold
asked if this home was move-in ready. Ms. Chenault stated it was except for the ADA
standard requirements.
Ms. Chenault stated that she and Mr. Araujo have talked about Masada House and that
they just disagree regarding this subject.
Serjio Borunda owns the trailer court behind this property and is located at 901 Hillside.
He stated he is against this petition. He felt that this kind of facility brings men with
problems with drugs and there is not a 100 percent success rate. He felt that the failures
would know the area, the trees and bushes, and their friends would come to this
neighborhood. Mr. Borunda stated that he rents to many families and if something
happened to a child, then you would wonder why Masada House was allowed there. He
added that this is a secure neighborhood, stuff outside never disappears. When people
are into drugs they steal stuff from family, so why not the community. He felt that this
would bring bad people to the area. He stated that it is good that they want to get better
but some just can’t. Mr. Borunda added that there is a school bus stop right in front of
the house and he is concerned about the children’s safety.
Mr. Borunda questioned why the location of Schofield was not approved. Chair Cardon
stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission approved that petition request, but the
final decision was made by City Council to not approve the location on Schofield Lane.
33
Ms. Chenault stated that there were 3 reasons for denial of the petition on Schofield
Lane. First, the neighborhood resistance; second, the house was not in very good
shape; and third, the home did not meet some of the code requirements.
Mr. Borunda stated that if need be he felt he could get the signatures of the renters in his
mobile home park because he feels that they would also be in disagreement.
Commissioner Ragsdale asked if Mr. Borunda was in that location when Halvorson
House was operating. Mr. Borunda stated that he has only owned the property for about
10 years and that Halvorson House had already moved out of that location.
Commissioner Freeman asked if Mr. Borunda was opposed to men or women at this
home. Mr. Borunda stated that he would prefer neither at this location.
Ms. Chenault stated that she did not visit with Sergio, because she only went around to
the homes in the front. She introduced copies of surveys taken by the neighbors located
around the women’s home at 610 N. Dustin. Commissioner Freeman asked if the
surveys were all inclusive or selective. Ms. Chenault stated that they surveyed along
Dustin Street well outside the 100 foot standard noticing requirement, and even returned
to the locations that they got no response initially.
Commissioner Thompson asked for clarification regarding the location of Hillside and
this property. It was noted that the rear yard backs onto Hillside but that the property is
enclosed by a fence between Mr. Borunda’s property and this property. Ms. Chenault
stated that very few of the clients have vehicles and that there will be two staff vehicles.
If there was an event, parking could be in the backyard and she had also spoken to the
Osbourne’s regarding using their property for overflow parking, and they were in support
of this facility.
Commissioner Thompson asked Ms. Chenault to address the perception that these guys
are just sitting on the front porch drinking beer. Ms. Chenault stated that Masada House
clients don’t hang out and they have daily agendas to follow and jobs to apply for. She
reiterated that these clients are not active addicts but are in recovery and need a clean
and sober, drug free place. Ms. Chenault added that there is currently a lot of police
activity in the trailer park such as drug and domestic violence calls. Mr. Borunda asked
if the clients are free to go to the bus stop, what keeps them from hanging out around
there. Ms. Chenault stated that staff is always checking in with the clients when they are
going to interviews and away from the house. The clients are being taught daily living
and scheduling skills through this process.
There were no other parties within the 100’ distance to speak in opposition to this
request.
Myra Martinez of 3725 Virden stated that she lives on the opposite side of Virden Street
and thought she was within the 100’ distance of this property. She had concerns about
the 2 staff members being hurt by the inmates that come out of prison and also that the
mailboxes are close to that property. Ms. Martinez asked why this house, and where the
bus stop is located because she has only seen a bus stop by Butler and Browning Hwy.
In closing Ms. Martinez stated that she would rather not have this on her street, but that
it should be closer to town and easier to access.
Ms. Chenault stated that they chose this house because it is a 5-bedroom 3-bath move
in ready home. She added that with a non-profit group money is an issue and that this
house is economically good for their program. She added that it is a pretty good
34
neighborhood and that very few clients come from prison. She stated that the flag stop
for the bus is located at the old Circle S location. Ms. Martinez asked how they are
going to get there, because there are children playing and the bus stops on each side of
the street and she is concerned about the kids. Ms. Martinez added that her niece had
some trouble, and she is glad there is help, but she doesn’t want it in her neighborhood.
Commissioner Freeman asked if Masada House should be more concerned about this
neighborhood since there are existing drug and alcohol issues already identified. He
also asked if the neighborhood was invited to an open house at the Dustin property. Ms.
Chenault stated that she did invite the neighbors to the Dustin location. Commissioner
Freeman asked if there would be any value to tabling this petition until an open house
was scheduled. Ms. Chenault stated that she didn’t honestly know if it would help.
Chair Cardon added that Ms. Chenault has extended an invitation, but that it has not
been accepted by the neighbors.
Commissioner Thompson stated he was in agreement with the Dustin location and this
house for the men and asked how the homes would be different. Ms. Chenault stated
that the only difference is men versus women. The program is administratively handled
the same. Commissioner Freeman asked about employee turnover, since it was an
issue with the Halvorson House. Ms. Chenault stated that Masada House has had no
turnover, only a reduction in staff due to less grant money. Her retention of employees
is about 99%.
Mr. Valdez of Masada House spoke to his experience working with clients. He stated
that all of them want to be there. He added that as an instructor you work one-on-one
and also do group counseling. These men need a place to be re-taught. Addiction can
be anything that affects your health, not just cigarettes and alcohol, but maybe sugar or
chocolate. Chair Cardon asked about staff being able to handle 8 adult male clients.
Mr. Valdez stated that life can be like high school and there will be conflicts, but you
speak loudly to get their attention and mediate any issues at that time. Chair Cardon
asked if Mr. Valdez felt he could be in control of any situation using professionalism and
job skills. Mr. Valdez stated he did feel that way.
There was no other discussion from the public regarding this petition. The public
comment period was closed and discussion among the commissioners was opened by
Chair Cardon.
Commissioner Arnold began his statement and believes that the issues here with the
neighbors and the hesitancy to have this type of facility in this neighborhood. However,
the needs for this type of facility are well known in the city and community. There will
always be nay-sayers and Masada House should be given a second chance. This is
something that we need to look at for our discussion. Commissioner Thompson stated
that Ms. Chenault is confident that they can co-exist in this neighborhood, but the
neighbors that live there are not quite so sure. It would be nice if you could spend a year
and if there is a problem you could leave, but you can’t un-buy a house. His question
was how to give them time to prove to the neighbors that they can co-exist in this
location.
Chair Cardon read from the staff report the criteria required for a zone change from
Section 8.7.4 and identified all of the criteria and how they were met. Commissioner
Freeman asked about the Industrial district surrounding this area and if staff felt that this
area could ever be an Industrial area. Ms. Lopez stated that it has been this way for
35
about 30 years and hasn’t changed. She added that this enclave of residential uses will
remain as legal non-conforming uses even if the surrounding area became Industrial,
which realistically doesn’t appear to be any time soon.
Commissioner Arnold made a motion to approve ZC 14-02 based on staff’s
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Davis and passed by a
7-0 vote.
Commissioner Freeman made a motion to approve SUP 14-02 based on staff’s
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Arnold and passed by a
7-0 vote.
Chair Cardon stated that this Commission makes recommendations that are forwarded
to the City Council and will be heard at the March 25, 2014 meeting held in this same
location at 7:00pm.
Commissioner Freeman asked if each Commissioner could restate their individual
reasons for the vote.
Commissioner Jaques stated that he voted aye. He agrees there is a need for this type
of facility based on testimony. He stated that in any neighborhood there will always be
people that disagree.
Commissioner Davis stated that he voted aye. After listening to both sides he felt that
the facility was needed. He added that the zone change and special use permit both
met the criteria in the code which made a difference to him. He stated that the
neighborhood survey surrounding the existing Masada House on N. Dustin was strong
proof that the home can fit in. He stated that this is an asset for people that are seeking
help.
Chair Cardon stated that she voted aye. She added that she felt the commission should
move forward with an approval because it is a needed facility. She also stated that she
empathizes with the neighbor’s concerns, but she is charged, as a commissioner, to use
the regulations and codes to make her decision and that the criteria stated and given all
fit and she felt a yes vote was abiding by these laws.
Commissioner Ragsdale stated that she voted aye. She stated that there is a need for
this type of facility especially for men. She added that the survey results for the
neighborhood surrounding 610 N. Dustin made a difference to her. She added that with
this home being move-in ready, the program would be able to start right away and
improve lives.
Commissioner Freeman stated that he voted aye. He stated that the surveys for 610 N.
Dustin indicated that some of the neighbors didn’t even know it was there. He added
that we all live in an abusive culture and he wanted to recognize the people who are
willing to step out and help. He hopes that the neighborhood will embrace this program.
Commissioner Arnold stated that he voted aye and had already spoken about his
reasons above. His belief is that the issue here is with the neighbors and the hesitancy
to have this type of facility in their neighborhood. However, the needs for this type of
facility are well known in the city and community. There will always be nay-sayers and
Masada House should be given a second chance
36
Commissioner Thompson stated that he voted aye. He stated that this program has
proven itself on N. Dustin and that he is confident that the professionalism of this home
will be an asset to this community.
