The Enterprise TAB on June 25 heard a contested proposal for a 10‑lot subdivision on roughly 2.5 acres at the corner of Frias Avenue and Bermuda Road. Applicant representative Robert Cunningham described the project as a transition infill proposal: a private‑street subdivision with 10 single‑family lots in an RS‑5.2 zoning district and lot sizes in the 7,000–7,500 square foot range. The developer identified Richmond American Homes as the prospective builder.

Public opposition: Dozens of neighbors attended and multiple speakers, including Lisa Narter and Lance Johnson, strongly opposed the request. Objections focused on traffic and safety (Bermuda is a busy commuter route and Liberty High School drop‑off/pick‑up increases congestion), compatibility with adjacent Rural Neighborhood Preservation (RNP/RMP) areas and a longstanding community expectation for 10,000‑square‑foot buffers in that part of Enterprise. One resident said the proposed lots “are much smaller” than existing nearby lots and warned approval would set “an unfavorable precedent.”

Applicant and staff notes: Cunningham said the site’s land‑use designation allows up to 5 units per acre and that the proposal yields roughly 4 units per acre, within plan parameters. He withdrew some earlier waiver requests (including some off‑site street‑lighting waivers) and agreed to provide a detached sidewalk on Bermuda and Frias. Staff recommended approval of the vacate application and certain waivers but noted the residential‑adjacency waiver (allowing lots under 10,000 sq ft adjacent to RNP) was a substantive sticking point.

TAB actions and rationale
- Zone change (ZC230822): motion to deny carried. Several TAB members said the residential adjacency standards and 10,000‑sq‑ft expectations provided an essential buffer and the board would not support waiving them here.
- Vacate/abandon easements (ZS250356): motion approved per staff conditions.
- Waiver/design review (WS250357): TAB denied the waiver request to reduce lot sizes adjacent to RNP; staff had recommended approval of some other limited waivers but the adjacency standard remained critical.
- Tentative map (TM25500087): motion to deny carried.

Context: Neighbors described existing pools and home siting in the adjacent properties that reflect an NV Energy easement boundary and said prior agreements during earlier planning rounds assumed larger lot sizes and buffers. Several speakers said they had previously negotiated with developers to preserve larger lot sizes and that the proposed change would violate community expectations.

Ending: The TAB’s split outcome — approving a limited vacation while denying the zone change, adjacency waivers and tentative map — reflects deference to the RNP/residential adjacency standards and neighborhood safety and traffic concerns. The applicant may revise and return to the TAB or pursue county hearings.
