In 2008, a property boundary adjustment was approved for Dorado Subdivision which included the
subject property, recorded as Record of Survey (#7551).
VII. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The applicant requests a modification to the existing development agreement (Instrument No.
105127512) to remove the requirement for a conditional use permit (CUP) for development on Lots 1
and 2, Block 1, Dorado Subdivision.
When the CUP was approved for this subdivision in 2005, the City had not yet adopted standards for
design review and required development to obtain CUP approval to ensure quality of design. Since that
time, the City has adopted standards for building and site design and no longer requires CUP approval if
the use is a principal permitted use in the zone. For this reason, staff doesn’t feel it’s necessary to
require a CUP as all future development is subject to design review. Any uses that require CUP
approval in the C-G district per UDC Table 11-2B-2 will still be subject to a CUP.
