Discussion Item – Wildland Urban Interface
Associate Planner Colby Gibson presented the following:
Associate Planner Gibson walked the Commission through the Wildland Urban Interface. He
explained this was an action item in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which called for developing
a GIS map identifying wildland and urban interface areas within the city boundaries as well as
looking at potential growth areas around Farmington. This map was developed using aerial
surveying, fieldwork and collaborating with the City of Farmington Fire Department, San Juan
County Office of Emergency Management, and the Bureau of Land Management.
The Commission had some questions and feedback on changes they would like to see made to
the map. Their direction was to bring the changes/corrections back to the September 29, 2022
P&Z Meeting to get final approval before the Commission recommends it to proceed to the City
Council.

Farmington Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan’s 2040 Future Land Use Map designation is Medium Density
Residential.
Medium-density residential is identified as 4 to 20 dwelling units per acre. After combination with
the parcel to the north, total lot size would be .5 acres with four dwelling units, which translates to
8 dwelling units per acre which is within the recommended density.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Unified Development Code states that the City shall consider whether the proposed zoning
and land use are compatible with the conforming zoning and land use of nearby properties and
with the character of the neighborhood. Section 8.7.4 of the Unified Development Code (UDC)
outlines issues for consideration in determining a proposed zone change as follows:
A. Is the proposed zoning consistent with the Farmington Comprehensive Plan?
Yes, the proposed zoning conforms to the ‘medium density’ designation of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan.
B. Is the proposed zoning and land use(s) compatible with the present zoning and
conforming uses of nearby property and the character of the neighborhood?
Yes, the property is adjacent to high to medium density residential on the west, north and
east and commercial to the south. The density proposed is compatible with the
neighborhood.
10
C. Will there be adverse impacts; and/or can any adverse impacts be adequately
mitigated?
None identified. The upgrade of the manufactured home unit is an improvement to the
property. The Fire Department and Building Division have completed a site visit and did
not identify any issues with the project.
D. Is the proposed density and intensity of use permitted in the proposed zoning
district?
Yes, the proposed density conforms to the MF-M density.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
This petition has been properly noticed. Letters were sent to eight surrounding property
owners. At the time of this report no comments have been submitted.
STAFF CONCLUSION
In staff’s opinion, the zone change request is in line with the rest of the neighborhood and should
not have an adverse impact. The upgrade of the manufactured home unit is an improvement to
the property and the neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Works Department recommends approval of Petition ZC 22-64, a request from
Michael Smith, property owner, for a zone change from SF:7, single family residential to MF:M,
SMHO, multifamily residential with the extension of the single family mobile home overlay to allow
for placement of a new, single-wide manufactured home not on a permanent foundation on the
property.
1. Site will be developed in general conformance to the site plan and drawings submitted
with the zone change application.
2. All necessary building permits shall be obtained.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The petitioner is requesting preliminary plan approval for the Mesa Vista Subdivision No. 8,
Replat A, a Class 1, 26-lot subdivision on a 7.05-acre undeveloped parcel located east of Mesa
Vista Subdivision No 7.
The final plat for Mesa Vista No. 8 was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on
September 16, 2021 and the plat was recorded on September 30, 2021. The plat was approved in
conjunction with Cecil’s Subdivision No. 2 Replat A, a recorded Final Plat which carved out a
right-of-way from the adjacent parcel to the east to provide a connection of Wildflower Drive to
Andrea Drive. The parcel to the east is owned by San Juan County and is the location of the
Juvenile Detention Center.
Phases 1-7 of the Mesa Vista Subdivision are almost completely built out.
Mesa Vista No. 8 is not part of the Mesa Vista Planned Unit Development approved in 2007.
The replat proposes a series of east/west cul-de-sacs connected to Lily Street and the removal of
the north/south road, Rosita Street along the eastern boundary line adjacent to the detention
center. The developer will be responsible for construction of all roads and infrastructure shown on
the plat, including one-half of Lauren Road and the detention pond at Sophia and Lauren Street.
Upon completion of the detention pond, maintenance will be the responsibility of the Mesa Vista
Property Owners Association. This will be noted on the final plat.
The developer will also be responsible for construction the extension of Wildflower Mesa Drive
to the Andrea Drive intersection, along with the required intersection improvements identified in
the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by the project engineer.
A sidewalk will be required on the north side of the Wildflower Mesa Drive. San Juan County has
requested that no sidewalk be constructed on the south side of this road extension due to security
concerns with the Juvenile Detention Center. The developer will be responsible for the
construction of a 6-foot chain link fence with slats along this perimeter. San Juan County has
agreed to construct a similar fence along the western property boundary.
A non-vehicular access easement (NVAE) is being required for lots whose northern property lines
abut Wildflower Mesa Drive. This is to prevent driveway access to this street, which, upon
connection to Andrea Drive will be designated as a collector street. Lot 7A at the south end of the
plat will also be restricted from accessing Lauren Street.
ISSUES IDENTIFIED DURING INITIAL REVIEW
Engineering Staff –Toni Sitta: 599-1399 and tsitta@fmtn.org
Please include a COF benchmark elevation with northing and easting on one corner of the
surveyed lot.
Please double check the lots for distances and bearings – some are missing.
Please double check the length of the east boundary of the plat. The addition of the lengths of
lots on that side do not seem to add up to the listed 1314.75 distance.
Please check the Plat Notes – if the notes do not apply to the Replat A area, please remove
from the plat.
16
Engineering Staff –Isaac Blue Eyes: 599-1316 and iblue_eyes@fmtn.org
Recalculation on drainage for the new street/cul-de-sac layout.
For all cul-de-sacs, storm water shall be sub-surface. An inlet should be installed at the end
of each cul-de-sac.
Fire Marshall – Brandy Vega (505) 599-1439 bvega@firenet.org
Please submit full size site plan to assure hydrant number and placement are sufficient, road
widths are sufficient and also cul-de-sacs are up to code.
Planning Division – Mike Safrany 599-1333 and msafrany@fmtn.org
Per Section 6.4.4(A) of the Unified Development Code, a block length shall be at least 400
feet and not exceed 1,200 feet in single family residential areas. This issue will need to be
resolved prior to the Preliminary Plan moving forward to the Planning and Zoning meeting.
Also show non-vehicular access easement (NVAE) on Plat drawing in addition to the note.
Please include the lots whose north property lines are adjacent to Wildflower Mesa Drive and
south property line of Lot 7A, Block 3.
Update Plat notes to correlate correctly with current revisions.
Please note the multiple Cul-de-Sac design does not substantially conform to the recorded
plat of the Mesa Vista subdivision. There will be multiple points of contention brought up at
the Planning and Zoning meeting such as Rosita Ct. no longer being a buffer between the
Detention Facility and the residences. Increased traffic intersections at the Cul-de-Sac streets,
awkward curb cuts to driveways limiting right of way parking, and also headlights shining
into residences on the west side of Lily St. Staff would also like more detail as to the amount
of cost savings this design would provide in lieu of the previous layout.
Per Section 8.8.4 of the Unified Development Code, all subdivisions shall comply with the
following minimum standards:
A. Design and improvement standards. All subdivisions shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with applicable requirements of:
(1) Article 5, development standards; and
(2) Article 6, subdivision design and improvements.
Staff Comments: The proposed replat does not meet the requirements of Section 6.2.2
(A) of the Unified Development Code (UDC) requiring a block length of 400 feet
minimum. Per UDC Section 6.4.7, staff has concerns about this new layout of cul-de-sacs
negatively affecting the existing lots to the west of Lily Street and not being consistent
with the rest of the Mesa Vista Subdivisions.
In the original plat, Rosita Street, a 50-foot right-of-way along the eastern boundary with
the detention center provided a buffer to the residential lots. With the replat, these lots
will now share a property line with the detention center.
B. Waivers. The commission may recommend and the council may approve, approve with
conditions, or deny waivers of the standards in section 6.4, subdivision design standards,
during the platting process.
17
Staff Comments: No waivers are requested for this application.
C. Zoning consistency. All subdivisions and the resulting lots shall be consistent with the
requirements of the applicable underlying zone district.
Staff Comments: Proposed replat is consistent with the underlying zoning of MF: M.
D. Comprehensive plan consistency. All subdivisions shall be reviewed for consistency with
the comprehensive plan, and every plat approved by the city shall constitute an
amendment, addition or a detail of the comprehensive plan or part thereof adopted by the
commission.
Staff Comments: The proposed single-family use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use map, which designates this area as Low Density Residential of 4 dwelling
units per acre The lot size does not conform to the ‘less than 1 acre but greater than
20,000 square feet’ designation of the plan. However, previous approvals for this
subdivision include lots less than 10,000 square feet. The proposed lot sizes for No. 8
comply with the underlying zoning of MF-M.

STAFF CONCLUSION
Staff recommends denial of Petition PP 22-66, Mesa Vista Subdivision No. 8 Replat “A” as the
design does not substantially conform to the recorded plats of the Mesa Vista subdivisions, does
not meet the minimum block length of 400 feet and removes a buffer to the property to the east.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Works Department recommends denial of Petition PP 22-66, a request from
Mike Hamilton, Mesa View Development, represented by Paul Martin of Sakura Engineering,
for a preliminary plan of a Class 1, 26-lot subdivision on a 7.05-acre undeveloped parcel located
at the eastern terminus of Wildflower Mesa Dr. in the City of Farmington. The lot sizes for No.
8 Replat “A” vary from 7,205 square feet to 13,559 square feet.

UDC 8.9. A. Special Use Permits:
The purpose of a Special Use Permit is to allow for discretionary approval of uses with unique
operating characteristics.
A. Special use permit approvals attach to the property and are transferable to
subsequent owners.
This SUP, if approved could transfer to another owner, carrier or tenant.
Per UDC Sec. 8.9.6.A, Special Use Permit approval shall expire after 18 months from the date
of approval if construction or operation of the approved use has not commenced.
Special Use Permit Criteria – Section 8.9.4 of the UDC
Section 8.9.4 of the UDC sets forth the criteria for review of a special use permit. The section
states that a SUP may be approved where it is reasonably determined that there will be no
significant negative impact upon residents of surrounding property or upon the public. The criteria
for approval is listed as follows:
A. Effect on environment: The location, size, design, and operation characteristics of the
proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants and shall not be substantially or
permanently injurious to the neighboring property.
The proposed business should not be detrimental to health and safety in the surrounding
area.
32
B. Compatible with surrounding area: The proposed site plan, circulation plan, and
schematic architectural designs shall be harmonious with the character of the
surrounding area with relationship to scale, height, landscaping and screening and
density.
The business will be compatible with the surrounding mixed commercial and industrial uses.
C. External impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative impacts on
existing uses in the area and in the city through the creation of noise, glare, fumes,
dust, smoke, vibration, fire hazard, or other injurious or noxious impact. The applicant
shall provide adequate mitigation responses to the impacts.
The proposed outdoor display and sales use will not have a negative impact on existing uses
in the area. Per the applicant, sheds will be built off site and delivered to the property fully
assembled. The sheds will be sold fully assembled from the property.
D. Infrastructure impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative impacts
on existing uses in the area and in the city through impacts on public infrastructure.
This includes examples such as roads, parking facilities and water and sewer systems,
and on public services such as police and fire protection and solid waste collection,
and the ability of existing infrastructure and services to provide services adequately.
The proposed use will be similar to the existing pre-owned vehicle sales use and should not
affect infrastructure in the area.
E. Consistent with the UDC and Comprehensive Plan: The proposed use will be
consistent with purposes of this UDC, the Comprehensive Plan, and any other statutes,
ordinances or policies that may be applicable, and will support rather than interfere
with the uses otherwise permitted in the zone in which it is located.
The Comprehensive Plan’s 2040 Future Land Use Map recommends the subject area as
“Employment Mixed Use” designed to serve a range of regional employment and service
types with a focus on job types and higher concentration of employees.
33
F. Parcel size: The proposed use may be required to have additional land area, in excess
of the minimum lot area otherwise required by the underlying zoning district, as
necessary to ensure adequate mitigation of impacts on surrounding land uses and the
zoning district.
The subject property is 1.06 acres.
F. Site Plan: The proposed use shall be required to comply with the site plan review
procedures and standards of Section 8.5, site plan review, as specified.
The applicant has submitted a site plan indicating the location for parking on the site and
includes three parking spaces, one of which is an ADA Van-Accessible space. The site plan
also includes the proposed placement of sheds and vehicles on the site.

CITY OF FARMINGTON DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Traffic Engineer – Mark Hathcock
• From the aerial view of the shed placements, it seems they will be blocking that
southernmost entrance on Tucker Avenue. I would like the petitioner to abandon that
driveway and replace it with curb and gutter.
• At this point, I do not know how many deliveries they will be expecting via semi-truck,
therefore I will want to see a plan on how the trucks will be entering and exiting the
business when deliveries are made. There will be no unloading on the city street.
POLICE Code Compliance – M. Romero
• Make sure that the placement of the buildings does not impede the sight of traffic on
Main Street or Tucker Avenue.
The petitioner was able to provide an updated site plan to staff on August 31, 2022 that
resolved the concerns.
STAFF CONCLUSION
Staff concludes the approval of Petition SUP 22-67 a request for a Special Use Permit to allow
for the outside sale and display of portable storage sheds on the property.
