1 neighbor appeared in opposition

TAB believes the character of this area has changed to be residential. With the creation of an additional subdivision on the East side, the proposed separation for both a convenience store and a gas station from residential uses would be reduced 95% to 10 feet. As this is a NEW use permit request it was inappropriate.

The existence of a PT’s Pub several hundred feet north of the intersection on an adjoining parcel was not seen as germaine to this request. The pub is not on the corner. Further, it existed before much of the residential development came to be. Staff confirmed that while residential developers have the option to request approvals adjacent to such developments, the reverse is not available.

TAB also found the proposed development violates Item 61 of the Comprehensive Plan Urban Land Use Policies as briefed by staff and which the TAB was urged to take into consideration immediately. That policy states:

#61 When commercial development is proposed adjacent to single family residential areas, nuisances    caused by incompatible uses, noise, lighting, and signs that detract from and are not consistent with the existing residential development should be prevented.

A Use Permit is a discretionary land use and the TAB felt it was NOT appropriate in this case. As the Use Permit request was denied by the TAB, at the request of the applicant the TAB denied the entire application.

 

6.                   WS-0019-15 – NV I-215 BUFFALO, LLC:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:  1) allow a freestanding sign; and 2) reduce the separation from a project identification sign to a freestanding sign. 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:  1) a freestanding sign; and 2) project identification signs in conjunction with an approved multiple family residential development on 17.2 acres in an R-4 (Multiple Family Residential - High Density) Zone and an R-4 (Multiple Family Residential - High Density) (AE-60) Zone in the CMA Design and MUD-3 Overlay Districts.  Generally located on the north side of Rafael Rivera Way, 350 feet west of Buffalo Drive within Spring Valley.  SS/gc/ml  (For possible action)

            Held per applicant request

 

HELD OVER FROM JANUARY 27, 2015 TOWN BOARD MEETING

 

02/18/15 BCC

 

7.         UC-0664-12 (ET-0158-14) – THE Howard hughes CORP., ET AL:

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence and review a future expansion to a private recreational facility (water park) and allow a temporary parking lot in conjunction with a private recreational facility.

VARIANCE to allow a temporary parking lot have a semi-permanent surface instead of asphalt or concrete.

WAIVER to defer full off-site improvements (Maule Avenue) on 41.2 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone within Village 16A in the Summerlin South Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the south side of Maule Avenue, 1,300 feet west of Fort Apache Road within Summerlin South and the Spring Valley Planning Area.  SB/jvm/ml  (For possible action)

The applicant did not appear and did not contact the TAB for the second consecutive meeting. Based on previous commitments from the applicant during the initial approval of this item that no extensions of time would be requested, and the failure to appear to offer any explanation, the TAB voted to take action. Members expressed the belief, due to existing heavy use and traffic, that it was inappropriate to consider non-permanent parking facilities, semi-permanent parking surfaces and deferred off-site improvements.

Denied 5-0
