with City Engineer, post of sign needs to be a minimum of 5' from the water line and
needs to be located with 811.
Mr. Najar: 5’ includes any of the excavation and foundation away from the water
line. 5' of the pole, structure, foundation. 24” concrete cylinder water line. The water
meter is visible in the photo.
Commissioner Storey: We have a representative from the gas company. Where is
the location of the gas line?

4. CASE 19-018 ZOC:
Chair Armstrong introduced Case 19-018, a request for a change in zoning from MHC
to RMS.
Commissioner Storey made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of
Facts and Land Use and Zoning Considerations with respect to Case 19-018.
Seconded by Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of
seven to zero.
Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 19-018?
In Favor: Todd Wagener: No way they can make a full subdivision, but can place 6 lots
up front and large lot in the back. It's about the only way that tract can be developed.
They will drill a well to irrigate a few trees. It's the only way to make it a viable
subdivision.
The only difference between Mobile Home Subdivision and Mobile Home Park is the
ability to sell the land.
Commissioner Storey: Will it be replatted? Will there be access to the back lot?
Wagener: Yes, into 7 lots with a 60' access road to the back lot.
Against: Larry Connolley: Chair of ETZ, had 40 people at ETZ meeting. Problem with
Man Camps and RV parks are coming to Chaves County. City nuisance law – when
This particular property, I'm not sure who they will sell the lots to, but I'd like to
ask a couple of questions. Will the back lot be hooked up to city sewer?
Wagener: Yes, the sanitary sewer cuts the corner on the back part of the property
and goes down the east side of the property.
Conolley: What size of a mobile home are they planning on setting?
Wagener: The applicant is looking at double wide (DW) 24X54. Can put 48' wide on a
lot and however deep. They are intending to purchase substantial DW for rent or sale.
Kenneth Bevers: I can't see anyone who lives in a home who would want a mobile
home park. Two or three blocks from Nancy Lopez Elementary School and Berrendo
Middle School. The sewer line referred to runs along my fence line. The property is
between my house and the apartments on the corner of Alameda and Atkinson. The
lot has never been used. I have 5 acres and got a notice from city that the two RVs
living on my own land. The only mobile home is a DW down the street.
Mr. Najar: The lots being proposed will have to be set on permanent foundations
and plumbed.
Ms. Hildreth: A separation fence would be required for MHC but not RMS. Also, DW
are allowed in any residential district unless otherwise stated in the restrictive
covenants.
Single wides are only allowed in RMS and MHC.
Linda Bevers: Against rezoning the lot.
Staff comments: Mr. Najar: I understand Bevers and Spicewood were over 20% –
require 2/3 vote in favor to approve.
Martinez: When a protest against the proposed case exceeds 20% of the
total notification area, a 2/3 vote is required.
Commissioner Storey: Which property is the sewer line?
Wagener: The sewer is on the property to the east at the property line and there is an
easement. We anticipate one access point. It is a city line and the City said it would
make the connection and put the fence back.
Commissioner Storey: Mr. Hance's letter is asking about setbacks. Have those
setbacks been met?
Wagener: The setbacks will be 20 or 25 foot. We will probably give a little of property
for Alameda ROW. There's not much difference between R-1 lot and the RMS. It's
better to be mobile home (MH) Subdivision than a MH Park – would have at least 10
lots along Alameda as a MH Park. It's unlikely that area would be a success with a full
subdivision all the way to the back. This is a way to develop the property and clean up
the area and make it look better with driveways and sidewalks. The intention is to
bring some used DW and improve them and develop the lots.
Mr. Najar: To finish answering Commissioner Storey's question, only 2 properties
along Spicewood Apartment side so they would have plenty of side yard setback. With
the oil field now, the apartments down south, you can see 3 or 4 oil patch vehicles on
single family lots. We have no ordinance restricting the number of non-family
members.
Chair Armstrong: Do we require a 2/3 vote?
Mr. Martinez: Yes it will require 5 of you.
MOTION – 19-018 ZOC
Commissioner Storey made a motion to approve Case 19-018 the request for
zone change MHC to RMS along with the Findings of Facts, Land Use and Zoning
considerations, staff recommendations and the testimony we have received
tonight. Seconded by Commissioner MacCornack. The motion passed by a roll call
vote of seven to zero.
MacCornack -
Yes Lessard -
Yes McDaniel -
Yes Storey -
Yes Taylor - Yes
Aguilar - Yes
Armstrong -
Yes
Chair Armstrong: You may file an appeal in writing with city Clerk no later than noon
this coming Thursday in writing. If the decision made tonight is appealed, it would go
before City council.
G. OTHER BUSINESS – Tiny Homes: Ms. Hildreth: Staff would like to accommodate
and regulate tiny homes with a text amendment. Tiny homes include modular
homes and shipping container homes that have been approved by the International
Building Code (IBC) and Construction Industry Division (CID).
Chair Armstrong: These smaller homes are becoming more popular. The
coming generation appear to be less interested in larger homes due to costs.
Commissioner McDaniel: We need to designate a size requirement. I’m just throwing
out 300 to 600 sf as definition of tiny home and also create a specific subdivision for
them to include size and location. Staff could put something together. It’s a reasonable
alternative to man camps and RVs.
Commissioner Taylor: Does this differ from fifth wheels and RVs?
Ms. Hildreth: No, those are not certified by IBC. Manufactured homes such as single or
double wide are certified by HUD.
Wagener: Need to be in core service area. Think about the lot size. You don't want
them on a 6000 sf lot. Do you stay with fire codes, smaller lots, off-site parking, and
community off-site parking? What design standards are important? Do you pack them
in one spot?
MH Parks and MHCs are too far away from amenities.
Ms. Hildreth: Do you prefer to have a tiny home subdivision and/or include them in
RMS?
Commissioner McDaniel: Both.
Chair Armstrong: Agrees.
Commissioner McDaniel: It might be cool to see them in the OMA subdivision or
somewhere close.
Commissioner Taylor: We should set a standard for siding. Are the axels removed or
on permanent foundation?
Mr. Najar: These need to be regulated in MHS and in their own Subdivision. We also
need to consider parking, setbacks, etc… Size might present an issue with setbacks
and yardage.
Ms. Hildreth: Our zoning ordinance does not have a required minimum heated area
size. We may want to explore this idea.
Mr. Martinez: I spoke to City's Building Official. We've been approached already, and
the Building Official would like to see something in writing so they have some
guidelines to enforce.
Commissioner McDaniel: It’s a good idea to have some text to start with and have
some site requirements. It can always be amended later.
Mr. Najar: I believe Mr. Morris has a draft and will bring it forward.
H. PUBLIC COMMENTS
I. REPORTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS - Mr. Martinez: Send prayers to Mr. Morris for a
speedy recovery. Kevin home and recovering.

F. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
1. CASE 19-012 VAR:
Chair Armstrong introduced Case 19-012, a request for a variance.
Commissioner McDaniel made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts
and Land Use and Zoning Considerations with respect to Case 19-012. Seconded by
Commissioner MacCornack. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. (Absent:
David Storey)
Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 19-012?
In Favor: Patty Johnson: The restrictive covenants provided in the packet do not apply to
the lot. There was a dog pen constructed when the house was built with pilasters that
they decided to use. The Licensed Contractor was able to work on a couple of weekends.
We were informed that an accessory structure under 200 square feet does not require a
building permit, but we didn’t know it still required a placement permit and compliance
with the setbacks. We will install design elements to blend in with the pickets on the
fence and are willing to gutter to the roof to the yard. The pre-existing dog pen was built
6'6” from the house. The Johnsons repaired the section of fence, but did in no way tie
the structure into the fence. The Johnsons spoke to John Hinkle who developed the
townhomes in a PUD. Requesting a variance to allow a 166 square foot structure
encroaching in the south side yard setback in the area that was originally built as a dog
pen. The Johnsons are asking for the variance so they can finish the project to build a
personal craft room/studio. Mrs. Johnson offered a thank you to the City Staff.
Let the record show that Commissioner Storey joined the meeting at 6:10 p.m.
Chair Armstrong stated there were restrictive covenants established in 1987. The
covenants state that after 25 years of the recorded date, set covenants shall
automatically extended for successive periods for 10 years unless an instrument signed
by the majority of the property owners agreed to change. No building shall be located
within 10’ of the interior lot line. I don't understand why a building permit wasn't taken
out.
Page 2 of 6
Page 3 of 36
Mrs. Johnson: We've lived in the county for 30 years, and we did not. We spoke to the
County Clerk who said there were not restrictive covenants pertaining to our townhome.
Chair Armstrong: That may be the case. There are restrictive covenants were instituted
so all the units conform to maintain property values.
Mrs. Johnson stated that City Staff said they did not find covenants for the property.
Dennis Johnson: Clarified the issue about not complying with the setbacks. The
structure is under 200 square feet and does not require a building permit, and they did
not think about needing a placement permit. Lot seven is not included in the covenants.
Against: La Nelle Witt: Mrs. Witt discussed the setbacks, design elements, and other
criteria established in the covenants and brought maps of the Coronado Subdivision
Plats that run with the land no matter how many times the land is subdivided. The
structure is approximately 9’x18’x9’ and sits 2” from the pilasters and 9” from the
pickets.
Aaron Holloman: The restrictive covenants are an issue here, however they are not
within the City's jurisdiction to determine whether or not the restrictive covenants exist.
Sherlea Taylor: Mrs. Taylor further discussed the restrictive covenants for the Coronado
subdivision. Access to townhouses are from the alley.
Staff Comments: Mr. Morris: As the City Attorney stated, we cannot look at covenants.
Violation of 5' side yard setback and distance of accessory structure from the primary
structure which requires a 10' setback. This is a unique development and it not a typical
single family lot. These lots were designed to be very compact with very little backyard.
Staff is recommending denial.
Commissioner Aguilar: It looks like the columns have been there a while.
Mr. Morris: Setbacks have been in the zoning code for a long time......
Mr. Najar: I assume the original structure was a dog pen. I concur with Bill Morris on
Staff Denial. Even the portable metal buildings require setbacks. Drainage would spill
over to the neighbor's yard.
Commissioner Storey abstains since he did not hear the entire case.
MOTION – 19-012 VAR
Commissioner Taylor made a motion to deny the request for variance Case Number 19-
012. Seconded by Commissioner Aguilar. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to
zero. (Commissioner Storey abstains)
Chair Armstrong: A request for an appeal must be filed with the City Clerk in writing by
noon on Thursday.

2. CASE 19-013 ZOC:
Chair Armstrong introduced Case 19-013, a request for a zone change.
Commissioner Storey made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts
and the Land Use and Zoning Considerations with respect to Case 19-013. Seconded by
Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero.
Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 19-013?
In Favor: Scott Goodpasture: Requesting the zone change as described in the Staff
Summary.
Against: None
Staff Comments: Mr. Morris: This property is being requested to be rezoned from R-3
(Residential) to C-2 (Commercial) to create a more marketable and adequately sized
property. There is no additional residential on that intersection. The parcel is more
appropriate and compatible with C-2 designs. Staff is recommending approval.
Mr. Najar: Atkinson is State Hwy 46/246 and Arterial Collector for the city. Property # 12
was condemned, patterns of growth from south to north, including truck traffic. Mr.
Najar concurs with Mr. Morris.
MOTION – 19-013 ZOC
Commissioner Lessard made a motion based on the Findings of Facts, the land use and
zoning considerations, testimony, material presented during the meeting and Staff
recommendation to approve Case Number 19-013. Seconded by Commissioner Storey.
The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero.
3. CASE 19-014 ZOC:
Chair Armstrong introduced Case 19-014, a request for a zone change.
Commissioner Aguilar made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts
and Land Use and Zoning Consideration with respect to Case 19-014. Seconded by
Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero.
Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 19-014?
Page 4 of 6
Page 5 of 36
In Favor: Scott Hicks, Smith Engineering as agent of the property owner. Owner is
proposing to replat the property and increase the lot size of the lot that is currently
zoned I-1 to the south, and rezone a portion of the southern part of the lot to RMS
(Residential Manufactured Home Subdivision.)
Chair Armstrong: Asked about access.
Mr. Hicks: Stated access would be off East Second Street.
Rita Montoya: Stated she does not understand what the property owner wants to do.
Mr. Morris: Ms. Montoya owns lots 14, 15 and 16.
Chair Armstrong: The intent of the rezoning is to allow for self-storage units on the
northern portion of the lot, and Mobile Home Subdivision nearer to Ms. Montoya on the
south.
Commissioner Storey: Did we look at this site in the past?
Mr. Najar: Mr. Junior Hernandez at one time was thinking about developing a trucking
company on this site but the idea was not followed through.
Ms. Montoya: Stated there is an easement.
Mr. Hicks: I believe Ms. Montoya is referring to the easement on west property line for
the underground pipe. The easement will remain. Mr. Hicks showed Mrs. Montoya a
larger copy of the plat to explain where proposed development will occur.
Staff Comments: Mr. Morris: The parcel is already I-1 (Industrial) on the north end and
the rezoning will allow the continuation of the I-1. The RMS will be compatible with
surrounding development and is part of the last discussion item on the agenda. Staff
supports the zone change.
Mr. Najar: Concurs. Industrial off of 2nd street and Residential off Alameda.
Against: None
MOTION – 19-014 ZOC
Commissioner Storey made a motion to approve Case Number 19-014 based on the
Findings of Facts, the land use and zoning considerations, testimony we received,
material presented during the meeting and Staff recommendation. Seconded by
Commissioner Lessard. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero.
G. NON-ACTION ITEM
H. OTHER BUSINESS – Tiny Homes
Mr. Morris: The state has just released additional criteria for what defines a tiny home.
Last month, staff received several requests for a different type of tiny home. Container
homes about 40 feet long and 10 feet wide. There may be a need for this type of
Page 5 of 6
Page 6 of 36
affordable housing. Our concern is that someone will drop a container home into a nice
area or not-so-nice area, and impact the property values. The RMS zoning district allows
anything allowed in the R-1 zoning district. We want to revisit this with code changes that
deal with tiny homes especially in the R-1 District that includes a minimum house and/or
lot size especially in the R-1. Equally important, Staff feels that there needs to be a district
that could accommodate small homes.
Commissioner McDaniel: Are you saying we need to make a minimum lot size or
minimum house size to protect the R-1 (Residential) district?
Mr. Morris: Yes. There still needs to be setbacks and right-of-ways, but maybe the lots
won’t have to be so big for the tiny homes. Staff wants to have the conversation before
they get here.
Chair Armstrong: I believe we’re going to see more of these container homes because of
the affordability. And some of the families don’t want anything large.
Commissioner McDaniel: We’re running out of houses too.
Mr. Morris: This is just informational at this point. Staff will try to put something together
for further discussion for the next meeting.
I. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Larry Connolley: How many people drive Garden Avenue? Have you seen the residential
trailer on North Garden that sat there for a long time? Mr. Connolley showed a picture on
his tablet. Seeing more and more infill and lots being cleaned up as he drives around the
city.
Commissioner McDaniel: This is the third time I've heard people have a hard time
hearing through the speakers.
Commissioner Storey: Do they have the same problem with the Council meetings?
Mr. Najar: We have to do a test prior to Council meetings.
