Enterprise TAB denies 6‑lot subdivision rezoning after neighbors raise privacy, drainage and traffic concerns
Summary
The board denied a rezoning and related approvals for a proposed six‑home subdivision east of Arville Street and north of Pyle Avenue, following sustained public opposition focused on two‑story homes overlooking single‑story neighbors, retaining walls, drainage and parking.
The Enterprise Town Advisory Board voted June 11 to deny a rezoning request to reclassify 1.25 acres from RS‑20 to RS‑5.2 for a proposed six‑lot single‑family subdivision east of Arville Street and north of Pyle Avenue.
The project drew lengthy public comment from adjacent homeowners who said the proposed two‑story homes and raised finished floor grades would remove privacy, change the rural character and could create drainage and parking problems. The applicant said homes would include two‑car garages with EV charging and that drainage would be addressed in subsequent engineering.
Susan Florian, the project engineer, presented site plans showing six lots averaging about 5,588 square feet and floor plans ranging from about 1,684 to 2,650 square feet. She said the development would include retaining walls up to 5.5 feet and requested waivers for wall heights and reduced curb radii to achieve internal circulation and driveway spacing. Florian said the homes would not exceed 35 feet and would include design features and landscaping.
Multiple residents from nearby Carter Rain Avenue and Leila Skye Avenue told the board the area is dominated by single‑story homes on larger lots and that placing two‑story houses on small lots would harm views and property values. One resident showed photos of the vacant lot and told the board, “putting 3 two‑story homes … would reduce privacy.” Board members questioned the site's grading plan and whether the proposal required substantial fill that would increase wall heights; one member said raising the site rather than stepping homes down to the existing grade appeared to drive the need for taller walls.
The board denied the zone change (ZC250350) by motion, and later denied the related waivers and tentative map. The board also approved the associated easement vacation per staff conditions. The motions carried by voice vote.
Next steps: The advisory recommendation and staff materials will be forwarded to county decision bodies as required by county procedure.
