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.

 

Enterprise TAB Proposed Changes to Mixed-Use Development

           

      - Require all MUD to fully contribute to infrastructure

      - Review and amend MUD overlay in the land use process

            - - Review and adjust the MUD overlay coverage and categories

            - - Adjustment based on BCC zoning decisions

      - - - Remove MUD from rezoned areas

      - - - Adjust buffer around rezoned property

            - - Lower or remove MUD overlay from potentially hazardous areas

                        - - - Airport approaches/departure paths

                        - - - Rail line where hazardous chemicals are transported   

      - Adopt MUD Land Use Proportion tables (attached)

      - Develop proximity standards coupled to proportion tables.

      - Amend Title 30

      - - MUD applications are non-conforming zone changes

     - - MUD projects are Urban Village zone district

      - - Establish non-waive-able buffer zones for low to medium density neighborhoods

      - - - No MUD within 330 ft of rural to medium density neighborhoods

      - - - Three to one setback ratio cannot be waived more than 10 %

      - - Prohibited in CMA

      - - Must be within the MUD overlay

      - - Examine practicality of density bonuses

 

The tables below would establish proportions between the land uses for a mixed-use development.  Tables similar to these were previously used in Title 30.  This guidance is required to meet the county objectives for MUD and provide a variety of land uses within a MUD project.  The proportions insure one category does not dominate the others and change the nature of the development.  The allowed variance in a category proportion is not greater than 10% sq ft required for commercial, recreational and open space.

 

Proposed Tables for Title 30

MUD Proportions less than 20 Acres

Categories

Proportions

Residential - including assisted-living

Shall contain the largest percentage of floor area of these four categories

Commercial - including schools, churches, child care, emergency care

Minimum of 20% of the gross building floor area

Minimum of 5% of the gross building floor area

Open Space, Courtyard and/or Atrium

An additional area shall be provided for open space, etc., which is equal to 5% of the residential floor area-must be located in close proximity to residential uses

 

MUD Proportions 20 Acres and Over

Categories

Proportions

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

 

Discussion on Place of Worship Parking Requirements

 

Over the last year, the Enterprise TAB has heard several applications for places of worship.   As part of those hearings, parking is consistently brought forward by residents as a problem.   The hearings also brought out that the most impacted areas are residential uses. The Enterprise TAB is examining the following methods for determining place of worship parking requirements.

 

1.     Alternative 1:  The number of parking places be increased from 10 per 1000 sq ft to 13 per 1000 sq ft.

 

            OR

 

2.     Alternative 2:

            A.         One parking place for each 2.5 seats available for services in any building on the property. 

            B.         Buildings other than sanctuary be parked according to their most intense use.

            C.        Minister quarters per current Title 30 requirements. 

            D.        The total parking requirement is the sum of all building uses on the property.

            E.         The number of sanctuary seats are determined by the Clark County Fire Department maximum occupancy standard.

            AND

 

3.     No waiver of place of worship parking standards permitted in a residential area designated by the land use plan or residential zone district or overlay with residential component.

 

A place of worship can be a very intense land use in an area that is designated and designed for significantly less intense land uses.  Several factors make place of worship use different from other land uses.  These factors are: 

 

            1.         Places of worship are permitted in all zoning districts.

            2.         Place of worship traffic patterns are simular to other assembly usages:  sport arenas, movie theaters.

            3.         A high volume of vehicular traffic occurs over a short period of time.

4.         Low/medium density residential areas are not designed or constructed to handle the vehicular volume.

            5.         Residents tend to be home during the hours of services.

6.         Activities such as day care and outdoor events would not be normally permitted in residential areas, yet are allowed as church use and activities.

7.         Back to back services require additional parking.

8.         Religious schools add additional traffic and parking load. 

 

The above factors require parking requirements for places of worship be consistent with the intensity of their use.  Because a place of worship has the right to locate in any land use designation, careful consideration is required to protect surrounding landowners’ rights to use their land as designated in county land use plans.

The TAB has requested information from the county staff to further this discussion and provide quantitative analysis.  The TAB will continue this discussion at its 9 April 2008 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.

 

Copper wire theft is very costly to the county.  Thieves are targeting short stretches of street lights on side streets.  They hope that the lack of street lighting will not be noticed for a period of time.  If you see any lights that are out, please report this to public response (SXR@co.clark.nv.us).  Also, if you see the access cover open on the base of street light, call Metro at 311.  The open access cover is a good indicator that the wiring for the street lights has been stolen.

 

 

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.

PLANNING AND ZONING ITEMS*:


03/18/08 PC

 

1.      VS-0146-08 – PALMER, PHILLIP, ET AL:   TAB held until 9 April 2008

 

VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of right-of-way being Hauck Street located between Shelbourne Avenue and Mistral Avenue in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).

 

There were two property owners in favor of this proposal and one against.  The TAB is concerned about property access along Hauck Street when future development takes place.  If Hauck Street is vacated, the property to the east would have a limited number of development options.  This also applies to the property on the northwest part of the vacation request. PC agenda item # 23

 

2.      WS-1477-07 – GRAFIADA, ENRIQUE & KAMI:   TAB approved with conditions

 

HOLDOVER WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:  

 

1) increase wall height; (from 6 ft to 8ft)  Approved

2) allow alternative wall design; (where 6ft decorative fence (50% open) is required) Approved

3) allow alternative landscaping along a collector street; and (15 ft required, requested6 ft)  Approved with setback changed to 10 ft

4) reduce the front setback  Withdrawn by the applicant

 

in conjunction with a proposed addition to an existing single family residence on 2.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone. Generally located on the west side of Gilespie Street, 300 feet north of Pyle Avenue within Enterprise. 

 

The TAB agreed with the following staff comments on this application.  “Staff can support the waiver of development standards for increased wall height on the sides and rear of the property. This request could have been done administratively, and has been approved in many locations all over the Valley. Staff could support the waiver of development standards for increased front wall height if the proposed 8 foot high solid block wall were set back 10 feet from the right-of-way to match the wall on the development to the north. This setback of 10 feet would still be less than code requires for a combination screen wall and retaining wall. Title 30 requires 15 feet of landscaping in the case of a wall along a collector street that is partly retaining.”  PC agenda item # 24

 

3.      WS-0133-08 – MCPHERSON, IAN:   TAB approved with staff conditions.

The TAB felt the construction of a sidewalk was a greater safety factor for future pedestrian traffic along the frontage road.  The staff comments follow:  “Staff cannot support the waiver request to not construct the sidewalk along the 215 Frontage Road as the engineered design of the Frontage Road requires this construction and the abutter's rights are for vehicular access only.

 

The county definition of abutter is ““Abutting” means having a common border with, or being separated from such a common border, by a public or private street, alley, or easement (see “Adjacent” or “Contiguous”), except that property within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of a proposed or existing major project shall be considered to be abutting.”  BCC morning agenda item # 34
