Miller Upon roll call, the following were absent: Chairman K. Wilson Presented to the Chairman and Commissioners for their approval were the minutes ofthe March 8*, 2017 regular meeting. Commissioner Pawlowski motioned for approval of minutes as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Kozeliski, A.V.A. Motion Carried. Chairwoman Mackenzie-Chavez administered the oath required by state lawfor publicforum. ITEM ONE: CASE # 17-00800002: Request by Ahmad Ayesh, on behalf of Gallup Islamic Center, property owner, for a Variance of Three (3) Feet, Four (4) inches from the required Five (5) foot set back requirement in a Commercial (C-3B) Zoning District - per Section 10-4B-2D of our City Code. The property is located at 31 GO East Historic Highway 66; more particularlydescribed as Tract 0, Indian Hills Subdivision Unit One. CB explained that on December 2016, the Gallup Islamic Center had submitted an application for a foundation only permit. CB used the overhead projector to display the site plan that was submitted with that application. The site plan was prepared by the architectural firm, AFTA Construction and Design. He pointed out that the property boundary drawn on the site plan was placed near Highway 66, which exceeded the required five foot (5') setback. We assumed this was the correct location of the property boundary, as the architectural firm should have researched the property prior to submitting the site plan. After departmental review, the City issued the permit, the foundation was dug and poured in place. The plumbing was also installed underground. It just so happened that our Planning Development Review Coordinator was working on a project for the property to the west when he discovered that the property boundary was closer to the structures than the property boundary on the Gallup Islamic Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting April 12^, 2017 Page 1 of 3 Center property. When he researched the property in question, he realized that the Gallup Islamic Center property boundaries that were indicated on the submitted site plan were incorrect. The City had based their approval of the foundation only permit on the incorrect site plan that had been submitted. There were a couple of additional errors; a sewer line was drawn inan incorrect location anda public utility easement that runs twenty-five feet (25') from the property line and up against the building were not noted. The good news is that the sewer line is no longer in service and was abandoned. Therefore the easement was no longer necessary and at last night's City Council meeting, the Council approved vacating this easement. The issue we are facing now is that the new construction is one foot 8 inches (I'S") away from the property line. There is an encroachment of three feet four inches (3'4"). This was notan erroron the contractor's part - the contractor was goingby the drawing submitted by the licensed engineer. CB then explained the hardship to the property owner in this case; it is a narrow lot and that limits the buildable area on site. He then noted reasons staff supports the request: 1) Highway 66 is two- hundred feet (200') wide instead of the standard local street width of sixty feet (60') and 2), The distance from the property boundary line on the subject property to the sidewalk fronting Highway 66 is approximately sixty feet (60') which leaves more than adequate distance, or buffer, from the building to the street or back of curb. The intent of setbacks to get the separation between street traffic and the building, in this case there is adequate separation. CB also stated that had the foundation not already been poured and the plumbing not already been installed, the City would have asked the developer to re-dig - but in this case - these steps have already been completed. Again reminding the Commission that the plans that were submitted to the City were designed and stamped by a licensed engineer and the City assumed the site had been researched and the information submitted was correct. Each of the Commissioners expressed their disappointment that this error had occurred and asked if there was any recourse to the licensed engineer that designed the site plan. They also asked if staff has put into place any mechanism to assure that an error such as this one will not happen again. Commissioner Matt Long did note that an engineering or architectural firm that is licensed and has stamped their design - is the party responsible and liable for assuring that the information submitted has been thoroughly researched and is accurate. These companies have the professional liability and professional duty to their clients to make sure they are providing the service they are being paid for. Commissioner Long also reminded the applicant that now that it has been determined that his property boundary is closer to his building than previously noted - they will need to be careful when applying with the State for a right-of-way permit. It could be that the State will not allow for all the off-street parking that will be required for the use of this structure. CB informed the Commission that the owner of the vacant lot to the east of this project has subdivided the lot and will allow a portion of that vacant lot to be used for additional off-street parking spaces. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting April I2'h, 2017 Page 2 of 3 Mr. Ahmah Ayesh, contractor for the applicant, expressed that they had many meetings with the City and the Planning Department does an excellent job. He agreed this was a huge oversight and is hoping that we will be able to correct the issue at tonight's meeting. Commissioner Kozeliskl asked if he would be allowed to use the parking lot to the east for parking spaces. Mr. Ayesh informed the Commission that the lot to the east is being subdivided and the owner is donating a portion of the lot to the Gallup Islamic Center for additional parking spaces. Mr. Ayesh explained that they have already applied for a right-of-way permit from the state and hope to receive a permit as soon as possible. Mr. Pete Gonzalez, property owner of 201 Turquoise Lane, expressed his concern that as the Gallup Islamic Center building is expanding, will the additional vehicles be parking on the street in front of his property. CB did inform Mr. Gonzalez that the adequate number of off street parking spaces must be provided for by the property owner. He also reminded Mr. Gonzalez that anyone from the public is allowed to park on the street, so he could ultimately have members of the public parked on the street near his residence. But the building permit process will require the adequate number of parking spaces for the occupant load of this particular building and use. Motion was made by Commissioner Kozeliski for approval of this item per staffs recommendations. Seconded by Commissioner Pawlowski. A.V.A., Motion Carried.

Upon roll call, the following were present: Chairman K. Wilson Vice-Chairperson K. Mackenzie-Chavez Commissioner J. Dooley Commissioner F. Pawlowski Commissioner F. Kozeliski Commissioner M. Long Upon roll call, the following were absent: Commissioner L. Miller Presented to the Chairman and Commissioners for their approval were the minutes of the February 8th 2017 regular meeting. Commissioner Kozeliski motioned for approval of minutes as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Dooley, A.V.A. Motion Carried. Chairman Kent Wilson administered the oath required by state law for public forum. ITEM ONE: CASE # 17-00800001: Request by Jimmy Gonzales, Gallup CDL Training Center, on behalf of Mark and Diann Yoder, property owners, for a Variance to the Off Street Parking Requirement per Section l0-4C-ID.l of our City Code. The property is located at 116 Bradley Street; more particularly described as Block 2, Lots 21 thru 30,Viro West 66 Addition. CB used the overhead screen to display the area and point out that all the businesses at this location do not have areas for off street parking. Our City Code requires different parking spaces, depending on the use. This particular business is a training center for acquiring a CDL License. This will be a classroom setting only; the large trucks will be located and driven at a different location. Our Code reads that this business use, for the size of the building, will require eight standard parking off street parking spaces and one handicapped accessible off street parking space. This area has no room for any off street parking spaces. Because of that, they do meet the criteria for a variance for a hardship particular to the land. The — applicant is asking for a variance of all off street parking and to allow students to park on Bradley Street. This is where all patrons of the businesses in this area park. The City supports business growth and would rather see buildings occupied with businesses instead of being left empty. For these reasons, staff supports the request for a variance of all spaces; this will allow students to park on Bradley Street. He did add that this is not allowing students to park on adjacent parcels or lots this is only allowing parking on the street. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting March $th, 2017 Page rof4 Motion was made by Commissioner Dooley for approval of this item per staffs recommendations. Seconded by Commissioner Pawlowski. A.V.A., Motion Carried. ITEM TWO: CASE # 17-00600002: Request by the City of Gallup, property owner, for the Rezoning of approximately 89.8 13 acres FROM Rural Holding Zone (RHZ) District I Industrial (I) Zoning District to allow for development of a Solar Farm Electric Utility. The property is located south of Interstate 40, between Allison Road and Munoz Drive; more particularly described as Lot 3-B, Gallup Station Grounds West Annexation, Phase 1. Using the overhead screen, CB noted the location of the rezone request. He explained that there is a contract in place with the developer to sell back electricity to the City. He also noted the Mr. Richard Matzke, Electric Department Director for the City, is present this evening to answer any technical questions anyone may have. He further explained that the Solar Farm is allowed in the Industrial Zoning District and that is why we are requesting the rezone from Rural Holding Zone to Industrial Zoning District. The adjacent properties to the south and east currently have the Industrial Zoning Designation. Commissioner Kozeliski noted this area is in a flood zone so he is concerned about developing electricity and asked if it could be underwater some day? Mr. Richard Matzke replied that developer plans to install the panels and most of the facilities that could be damaged due to water at a height of four feet. Commissioner Kozeliski stated that in the past we have seen extremely high waters in this area; will the panels be high enough to avoid problems? CB noted that, in the discussion for conditional use permit; that will be one of the items discussed. Commissioner Kozeliski asked what the different colors mean on the drawing provided by Mr. Matzke? Mr. Matzke replied that they represent different panels that will be connected to 4 different inverters. Commissioner Kozeliski asked if this will save the City money? Mr. Matzke replied that this will be less than the power we purchase from Continental Divide. The savings will increase each year as the years go by. Commissioner Kozeliski asked if we will be using all of the electricity provided by this solar farm. Mr. Matzke replied that the City’s contract is to purchase the full output from the solar farm. Commissioner Kozeliski asked if this would be enough to fully power all of Gallup. Mr. Matzke replied that it is definitely not enough, it is guessed to be approximately 10% of our annual purchases. Commissioner Dooley asked if the property will be fenced to prevent juveniles from getting in and getting hurt. Mr. Matzke replied that it will be fully fenced. Chairman Wilson about the reflective light off the panels; will it be aimed at the residential areas to the south and if so will this cause problems for those residents? Mr. Matzke replied that they will be aimed Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting March 8th, 2017 Page 2014 south and he is unaware if that particular question has been addressed. Commissioner Miller asked if these will be fixed panels and since this area is highly visible from the Interstate, what is the overall height of the panels? Mr. Matzke replied that they will be single axis tracking system and he is unsure of the height. Commissioner Kozeliski asked if we would be advertising this project to inform the public what is being built at this location. Mr. Matzke replied that we could do that. Commissioner Dooley asked if the solar farm is providing 10% of the Cities electricity, what happens if it goes down for whatever reason? Mr. Matzke replied that we are purchasing 10% of the electricity and this is just offsetting the electricity we receive from Continental Divide. But Continental Divide is still responsible for providing the City with power. Chairman Wilson asked if there have been any public meetings regarding this solar farm. Mr. Matzke replied that he does not believe there has. Motion was made by Commissioner Kozeliski for approval of this item as presented by staff. Seconded by Dooley. A.V.A., Motion Carried. ITEM THREE: CASE # 17-00700002: Request by the City of Gallup, property owner, for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Solar Farm Electric Utility in an Industrial Zoning District. The property is located south of Interstate 40, between Allison Road and Munoz Drive; more particularly described as Lot 3-B, Gallup Station Grounds West Annexation, Phase 1; containing 89.813 acres rn/I. CB noted that as the Rezone has been approved, we can now proceed with the Conditional Use Permit request. This will allow the construction of the solar farm to begin. There is nothing that would cause an adverse effect to the surrounding properties; this is a wide open space, CB went over each of the conditions that will be required to be met, including addressing the flood plain construction requirements. CB informed the Commission that they are able to add conditions if they choose; for example the reflective panels were discussed earlier. The Commission can choose to add restrictions to the permit as part of their decision. Commissioner Kozeliski asked if any study has been done regarding the airplanes landing in Gallup. Will this solar farm affect their landing? Mr. Matzke noted that the question had been raised previously, and he believes the City Attorney did not feel there was a conflict. There has been no study, but other cities with airports have solar farms. There was another brief discussion regarding the flood plain and the access to the proposed solar farm. Motion was made by Commissioner Kozeliski for approval of this item as presented by staff. Seconded by Pawlowski. A.V.A., Motion Carried.

Kozeliski, City Attorney MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Clyde fC.B.) Strain, Planning and Development Director: REF: Resolution No. RP2017-09; Gallup Islamic Center, Setback Variance. BACKGROUND Mr. Ahmad Ayesh acting on behalf of the Gallup Islamic Center, property owners, has petitioned the Gallup Planning and Zoning Commission for a variance from Section 10-4B-2D “Dimensional Requirements for the C-i, C-2, C-3 and PSC Zoning Districts” of the City of Gallup Land Development Standards. Applicant is requesting a variance of three feet four inches (3’4”) form the required five foot (5’) street yard setback for the Heavy Commercial (C-3B) Zoning District. The property is located at 3100 East Historic Hwy. 66 and more particularly described as Tract G, Indian Hills Subdivision Unit One. DISCUSSION On December 19, 2016 Dreamworks Builders LLC., owned by Mr. Ahmad Ayesh was issued a foundation only permit in order to place foundations for a proposed addition to the Gallup Islamic Center. As part of the required submittals an engineered site plan was submitted by Afra Construction and Design, prepared by Jim Kapuranis, a licensed and registered New Mexico Professional Engineer, showing the property boundary lines for subject site as being behind the sidewalks around the perimeter of the property. Based on this property boundary location the proposed addition was set back approximately forty nine feet six inches (49’6”) from the front property boundary line. This exceeded the required five foot (5’) set back by forty four feet six inches (44’6”). The permit was approved and issued and the concrete foundations were cast in place. When reviewing a subdivision plat for the property to the west of the subject property for an unrelated subject it was discovered by the City’s Development Review Coordinator that the property boundaries that were indicated on the submitted site plan were incorrect. The actual property boundary based on the original subdivision plat is approximately thirteen feet (13’) north of the existing building. Because the property boundary line that was shown on the site plan submitted with the foundation only permit application was incorrect it resulted in the foundations encroaching into the required five foot (5’) street yard set back by three feet four inches (3’4”). In addition to the concrete foundation being cast in place all of the underground plumbing has been installed. The encroachment into the required street yard setback was a direct result of incorrect information being submitted for review by a licensed professional New Mexico engineer and not an error on the City’s or the contractor’s part. 110 West Aitec Avenue • Gallup, New Mexico 87301 • phone 505.8b3. 220 • fax 505.722.5134 • web WWW.GaIIUpNM.qOV The Historic Hwy. 66 (NM 118) right-of-way in this area is approximately two hundred feet (200’) in width. The distance from the property boundary line on the subject property to the sidewalk fronting Historic Hwy. 66 (NM 118) is approximately sixty feet (60’). This would leave a distance of sixty one feet eight inches (61’8”) from the back of sidewalk to the proposed addition even with the encroachment of three feet four inches (3’4”). Even with the encroachment there is still more than adequate distance from the proposed addition to the sidewalk. The configuration of the lot is exceptionally narrow which significantly reduces the buildable area on said lot. Because of the narrow nature of the lot and adequate separation between the structure and the roadway it is the opinion of staff that the request meets the Limitations and Grounds for Variance as set forth in Section 10-4L-3A of the City of Gallup Land Development Standards. A copy of Section 10-4L-3A “Limitations and Grounds for Variance” are included in your agenda packet and marked as “Exhibit A”. FINDINGS It is the findings of staff that for the reasons listed above the request meets the Limitations and Grounds for Variance as defined in Section 10-4L-3A of the LDS as follows. 1. The narrow dimension of the existing lot significantly reduces the buildable area on said lot. Existing constraints on said property creates special conditions and circumstances which are peculiar to the land and which are not generally applicable to other lands in the same zoning district. 2. Because of the special circumstances related to the land listed above literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this title and would work an unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant. 3. The extent of the variance requested is reasonably related to what is needed to overcome the alleged hardship. RESOLUTION NO.
