Hearing Examiner
Published: Jul 7, 2026
Variance for Second Driveway Denied Due to Traffic Safety Concerns
The hearing examiner denied a variance request for Doug Lasher Construction to build a second residential driveway at 1535 South Galaxy. The staff recommended denial, citing that the addition could be utilized without a second driveway and that the proposed driveway location created traffic safety concerns. The applicant argued that the second driveway was necessary to provide access for an addition intended as living space for elderly parents, thus avoiding stairs. The hearing examiner agreed with the staff's recommendation, emphasizing the traffic safety hazards and the lack of demonstrated hardship.
Appeal Against Animal Daycare Approval Denied; Use Upheld with Conditions
The hearing examiner denied an appeal filed by the Carriage Park Condominium Association against the Planning Director's approval of an animal daycare and kennel at 115 North Pole Road. The Association raised concerns about noise, odor, property value, and traffic. The staff report concluded that issues like noise and odor were outside the scope of appeal criteria, and the use was permitted in the MX3 zone with specific conditions. The hearing examiner upheld the staff's recommendation, stating that while the concerns were valid, they did not meet the criteria for overturning an administrative decision based on the development code. The examiner noted that the city council had intentionally placed this use in the MX3 zone and did not include specific restrictions regarding proximity to residential uses.
