Enterprise Town Advisory Board
AGENDA

 

DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION*

 

Recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on Mixed-Use Development (MUD) within Enterprise. The discussion includes the intent of the MUD, current implementation and recommended changes.

 

Mixed-Use Development will significantly increase the need for public infrastructure and increase cost to Clark County and the Clark County School District (CCSD).   The question is how does the county recover the infrastructure cost?  The use of MUD complicates the forecasting and planning of public facilities because the property has dual uses which are vastly different.  The use of small MUD projects without sufficient commercial component (currently defined as 20 acres or less) will result in high density housing without the mix of land uses needed for successful neighborhoods.

 

The TAB has examined two areas for comparison.  The first is an area covered by the MUD overlay and bounded by Rainbow, Pebble, UPRR tracks and Blue Diamond Road. The second is the Mountain’s Edge Master Plan agreement.  The study area chosen is a small section of the total area covered by the Mixed-Use Development overlay in Enterprise. The results of this study would have to be multiplied many times to see the overall effect on Enterprise.

 

The study and cost comparison using the Enterprise Land Use Plan vs. the MUD overlay in a selected study area is attached on an Adobe acrobat file.  All of the maps and data are taken from current county documents including Enterprise Land Use Plan, Enterprise Land Use map; MUD overlay map and the Mountain’s Edge Master Plan and agreements.  SEE ATTACHED FILE

 

 

Recommendations for parking formulas within Title 30 for places of worship.

 

This item will be an agenda item on the next TAB meeting.

 

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

 

Comments and discussion by the general public. Comments will be limited to ten minutes. No action may be taken upon a matters raised under this item on the Agenda until the matter itself has been included on the Agenda.

 

1.      There is a need for an overhead sign on Warm Springs west of Gilespie.  The traffic exiting the new McCarran Rental car facility requires better direction information at the Las Vegas Blvd/Warm Springs intersection.  The sign should be placed at a sufficient distance from Las Vegas Blvd to allow traffic to safely sort itself out.  The sign should indicate Las Vegas and I-15 North to the right, Warm Springs Rd straight ahead and Las Vegas Blvd and I-15 South to the left.

 

The rental car facility is causing considerable back up on westbound Warms Springs and Las Vegas Blvd north.

 

2.    The traffic continues to increase on Robindale at Haven and Gilespie.  The residents have requested that traffic calming devices be looked at for installation.

 

3.    The Water Reclamation plant at Valley View and Serene is progressing to the point of public review and approval.  A complete record of the meetings can be found at    http://www.h2outreach.com  Once on the web site the following will take you to the information.

1.         UC-0059-08 – CHURCH BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR:   TAB Approved with two conditions:

           

1. The crosses not be illuminated

2.  The applicant construct full off sites

 

            USE PERMITS for the following:

 

               1) a communications tower; and

               2) reduce the separation for a communications tower to a residential development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a communications tower on 2.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the west side of Bermuda Road, 300 feet north of Frias Avenue within Enterprise.

 

This item generated the most discussion for the evening.  The tower is eighty feet high and has a diameter of 3 ft.  All the antennas are located inside the pole with room for three carriers.  Three crosses will be placed approximately 50 up the tower.  Several residents were opposed to any cell tower in their area.  The TAB felt this was a commercial project, and as such, should provide full off-sites as part of the project.  The second condition was directed toward preventing lighting that would not be appropriate for a residential neighborhood.  PC consent agenda Item # 7

 

2.         UC-0071-08 – PARDEE HOMES OF NEVADA:   TAB approved

 

USE PERMIT to allow a reduced rear yard setback on 2 lots on 0.3 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community.

03/05/08 BCC

 

7.         ZC-0247-03 (WC-0021-08) – AMERICAN CHILD CARE PROPERTIES, LLC:   TAB approved with one recommendation:

            1. Lighting is added to the wall for nighttime safety.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change requiring decorative split face block wall along the west boundary of the office project which shall be 10 feet in height in conjunction with an approved child care facility on 1.1 acres in a C-P (Office & Professional) Zone and a C-1 (Local Business) Zone. Generally located on the north side of Robindale Road, 330 feet west of Rainbow Boulevard within Enterprise.

 

The redesign of this wall will provide a safer walkway for children attending the elementary school to the north.  The TAB recommended the applicant look at incorporating lighting into the wall as a nighttime safety feature.  BCC afternoon agenda Item # 35

 

8.         WS-0063-08 – SUNSETJONES LLC: TAB approved

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce drive aisle width.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a retail pad site in an approved shopping center on 1.0 acre in a C-2 (General Commercial) (AE-70) Zone in the CMA Design Overlay District. Generally located on west side of Jones Boulevard, 400 feet south of Sunset Road within Enterprise. 

 

The reduced drive aisle width is 9.5 ft where 12 ft is required by code.  The TAB agreed with the applicant’s assessments that drive-up teller windows and ATM do not need the full drive isle width.  Vehicles using the bank’s facilities will be slowed down at the drive aisle and will pull to one side.  The TAB also recommended to the staff that this particular case for a drive isle be added to Title 30.  BCC morning agenda Item # 33

 

 

9.         ZC-1122-07 – CHINSUK KIM FAMILY TRUST ET AL:   TAB approved Zone Change and Design Review:  Denied the Waiver of Development Standards.

 

AMENDED HOLDOVER ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 0.9 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to C-1 (Local Business) Zone.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) reduce setbacks (previously not notified); and

2) reduce landscaping (previously not notified).

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a retail and office building. Generally located on the northeast corner of Durango Drive and Wigwam Avenue within Enterprise (description on file).

 

The staff report on this project recommended denial of the waiver of development standards.  Their opinion is it sets a poor precedent to allow waivers of developmental standards on the lead project at this corner.  Projects that follow on would seek similar waivers.  The result is an area where Title 30 standards were not followed.  The TAB felt county Title 30 standards should be maintained and the project be designed within these standards.  The county did not clearly communicate Title 30 standards during the application process which resulted in several project changes.  However, the TAB opinion was this was not sufficient reason to grant a waiver of developmental standards.  This project may have to be downsized to fit on the property and meet the code requirements.  

 

Two items that could impact this project are the trail dedication that is now required on Wigwam and the moving of underground vaults required by the dedication of additional right-of-way by the county. BCC Morning agenda Item # 30

 

 

10.       ZC-0081-08 – BD PARCEL HOLDINGS, LLC:   Item held by the applicant until 30 Apr 2008
