Summary
The advisory board approved a waiver reducing required street landscaping from 10 to 8 feet to allow a 2‑foot‑high split‑face block wall with iron on top at an existing office‑warehouse site. Staff recommended approval; the project includes security improvements.
Spring Valley — The Spring Valley Town Advisory Board approved a waiver of development standards to reduce the required street landscape setback from 10 feet to 8 feet at an existing office‑warehouse property so the owner can construct a 2‑foot‑high split‑face block wall with wrought‑iron on top for security.
Jason Foster, representing Gulf Construction on behalf of the property owners (Adam Kent and Scott Schwartz), told the board the reduced setback would accommodate the two‑foot split‑face block wall and ironwork and that staff recommended approval. The site is a 2.06‑acre IP (industrial park) property east of Montessori Street and north of RB Avenue in Spring Valley.
No members of the public spoke on the item. A board member moved to approve staff recommendations and the motion passed.
Ending: The waiver allows the owner to build the security wall with an 8‑foot landscape setback; the project will proceed under the county’s design‑review and permitting rules and subject to staff conditions.
