ATTACHMENT A

02/15/11 PC

1.       CP-1081-10:  That the Spring Valley Town Advisory Board accept public comment on a proposed amendment to the Spring Valley Land Use Plan on the west side of Rainbow Boulevard between Edna Avenue and Tara Avenue, then forward a recommendation to the Clark County Planning Commission.

Staff presented this item to the TAB with limited information available before the meeting. There were several matters that troubled TAB members on this item. This represents a proposed change in an area approved for RNP-1 overlay two weeks ago. At that time the TAB and 80+ residents attending were assured there would be no proposed changes to the overlay area. Two weeks later, this was a change. As the area in question was limited, most of those 80+ who had supported the previous RNP vote were NOT given any notice of the action. One protest appeared.

Staff acknowledged that the map provided to the TAB two weeks ago was inaccurate and stated that the maps need not be accurate. They had not provided any list of parcels under consideration and so the TAB had only the map to make its decision, a map now acknowledged as inaccurate. They further stated that maps need not be accurate as parcel lists prevail, even when not provided to the TAB.

Staff inaccurately stated the above action was part of the regular LUP update two years after the previous major update which staff said occurred in 2008. The current map says it was adopted on November 4, 2009.

Contrary to what staff said two weeks earlier regarding the RNP1 overlay, they told TAB the overlay should not extend across Rainbow Road.

Staff reported that only one parcel owner requested this update and the inclusion of 5 additional parcels was added by the staff.

Staff reported this brought the LUP into line with current uses, but acknowledged that no change was required to allow the property owners to continue to use their parcels as they currently do.

TAB voted to approve 4-1. Two members indicated they did so to allow for an appeal, two supported making the LUP comply with current use, and one member voted no in light of his vote two weeks earlier supporting the RNP-1 overlay.   

 

2.         NZC-0614-10 – MICHAEL SCARPELLI JR & DENISE L. SCARPELLI FAMILY TRUST:

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.3 acres from C-1 (Local Business) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone for a single family residential development.

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:  1) reduced setbacks; and 2) non-standard improvements.  Generally located on the north side of Russell Road, 300 feet west of Grand Canyon Drive within Spring Valley (description on file).  SB/al/ml

Applicant stated this change was needed as the market for previously approved mini-warehouse was dead. He predicted a strong interest by home buyers selling three homes per month when completed. TAB raised questions about the lack of open space, lot setbacks, driveway placement and parking. TAB voted 4-1 to deny.

 

3.         UC-0618-10 – WARM SPRINGS AND DURANGO PARTNERS, LLC:

USE PERMIT to allow on-premise consumption of alcohol (service bar) in conjunction with a proposed restaurant within an existing shopping center on a portion of 2.3 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the north side of Warm Springs Road, 400 feet west of Durango Drive within Spring Valley.  SB/dg/ml

Approved 5-0

 

02/16/11 BCC

4.         UC-1026-08 (ET-0196-10) – HARMONY 19, LLC:

USE PERMIT SECOND EXTENSION OF TIME to commence modified screening and development standards in conjunction with a single family residential subdivision.

DESIGN REVIEW for a single family residential subdivision on 18.0 acres in an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the north side of Ford Avenue, 500 feet east of Grand Canyon Drive within Spring Valley.  SB/rk/ml

Acknowledging that extensions are normally routinely approved, a TAB member stated that the conditions on this property had changed because the applicant is more than $300,000 behind in paying taxes. Applicant acknowledged the arrears, but stated the citizens were actually benefiting from this as interest was accruing that would have to be paid before the project could actually begin. The TAB voted to approve 3-2 with the condition that back taxes are paid in full BEFORE the BCC approves the extension, with staff conditions. Two “no” votes stated they felt the current situation was acceptable.

 

5.         VS-1025-08 (ET-0198-10) – HARMONY 19, LLC; ET AL:
