1a.    ORD-392-08   TAB Approved

 

An Ordinance to amend Title 30, Chapter 30.36 and 30.48, Sections 30.36.080, 30.48.020, 30.48.070, 30.48.080, 30.48.770, Tables 30.48-1 and 30.48-AE; Appendix G Map 15a and to Adopt Maps 18a Through 18e in Appendix G; and to adopt a Henderson Executive Airport Environs Overlay District Map, North Las Vegas Airport Environs Overlay District Map and a Revised McCarran Airport Environs Overlay District Map; and providing for other matters properly related thereto.

 

This ordinance and the new AE lines will apply to new construction only.  The question was asked if the new standard would be applied to a current residence if a new room was added.  Answer -- No

 

1. Establishing regulations for a DNL of 60 dB as an Airport Environs sub district (AE-60) of the AEOD.

•            A 60 DNL standard has been utilized by the Department of Aviation for land use compatibility determinations since 1998 when the Comprehensive Plan, Public Health and Safety Programs, Airport Environs Element, recognized that additional mitigation measures were needed to balance community growth with airport operations. (See Slide 10.)

•            The proposed amendments would codify:

—        All land uses are permitted within the AE-60. (See Slide 11.)

—        All new residential units, including resort condominiums, require 25 dB sound attenuation in the AE-60.

 

2. Updating the current AEOD for McCarran International Airport.

•           The existing AEOD was adopted in 1990. The proposed AEOD reflects a forecasted 2017 noise environs, developed as part of the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study Update, dated November 2006. (See Slides 12 — 15.)

—        The Noise Study was adopted by Clark County in October 2006 and is available for review at www.mccarrannoisestudy.com.

 

3. Adding an AEOD for North Las Vegas Airport and Henderson Executive Airport.

•           The amendments would add an AEOD for the North Las Vegas and Henderson Executive Airports.

—        The AEOD for North Las Vegas Airport reflects a forecasted 2015 noise environs, developed as part of the Environmental Assessment for Runway 12L-30R, dated May 1997.

—        The AEOD for Henderson Executive Airport reflects a forecasted 2016 noise environs, developed as part of the Environmental Assessment for the Master Plan Report Recommendations, dated April 1998.

 

4. Modifying regulations for new residential uses within the AEOD.

•           Supplemental sound attenuation and noise disclosure is required in Title 30 for mixed-use projects. Since 2004, the Department of Aviation has conditioned non-mixed use mid-rise and high-rise projects containing a residential component with the supplemental sound attenuation and noise disclosure. Regarding typical single family and multifamily development located within the AEOD, since 1997 noise disclosure has typically been a condition of approval. The proposed amendments would codify:

—        In the AE-60, 30 dB sound attenuation required where habitable space exceeds 35 feet in height instead of 25 dB.

—         In the AE-65, 35 dB sound attenuation required where habitable space exceeds 35 feet in height instead of 25 dB.

—         For all new development located within the McCarran, Henderson Executive, or North Las Vegas AEOD, a noise disclosure form shall be recorded against the land by the developer and copy to the Department of Aviation (DOA); the disclosure form shall be presented to the initial occupant separate from other escrow documents; the developer shall obtain a map from DOA which highlights the project location and associated flight tracks, included as part of the noise disclosure notice to the initial occupant.  BCC afternoon agenda item # 62

 

 

UC-0294-08 – SHAMROCK/SUNSET, LLC:  TAB Approved

 

USE PERMIT for a Project of Regional Significance.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) roll-up doors on a kiosk; Withdrawn by applicant

2) alternative parking lot design;

3) alternative building design; and Withdrawn by applicant

4) alternative screening.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a shopping center on 19.3 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) (AE-70) Zone in the CMA Design Overlay District. Generally located on the south side of Sunset Road and the east side of Jones Boulevard within Enterprise. 

 

The applicant has made a good effort to bring this project into compliance with the CMA design standard with two of four waivers withdrawn.  The major objection by staff was the design of the parking.  The CMA design standard requires the parking be a series of smaller parking areas.  This project has one central parking area with two smaller areas.  The main parking is surrounded by the retail buildings, which provide a buffer from the surrounding roads.  The TAB felt the parking worked for the retail center being proposed.   

 

The TAB added the requirement for two left turn lanes from southbound Jones to eastbound Sunset.   The left turn on eastbound Sunset will be the only way Jones southbound traffic will be able to enter the project.  This is another case where the traffic study is needed with the design review to assess the total impact of the project.  Too many times the TAB has heard, “we will do it if the traffic study requires it.”  BCC morning agenda item # 32

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for alternative street landscaping and screening.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for street landscaping and screening in conjunction with an existing plant nursery on a portion of 2.2 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone. Generally located on the north side of Gomer Road, 300 feet east of Fort Apache Road within Enterprise.

 

The sidewalk east of the project is attached.  The property to the west had project plans that require a detached sidewalk.  A detached sidewalk for this project would require established trees to be uprooted.  The TAB did not see the need to uproot mature trees.  The applicant’s plan for an attached sidewalk was approved.  BCC morning consent agenda item # 13

 

14.    WS-0417-08 – AMERICAN CHILD CARE PROPERTIES, LLC:   TAB Approved waiver of development standards #1 and denied #2

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) allow an increase for combined wall/retaining wall height; and

2) reduced throat depth in conjunction with an approved day care facility on 1.2 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a use permit (UC-1325-06) requiring an 8 foot high block wall to be constructed as a buffer along the east side of the property to comply with Title 30 buffer wall standards, existing block wall on the adjacent property to the east to remain as is. Generally located on the northeast corner of Valley View Boulevard and Conn Avenue within Enterprise.

 

The plans show a combined wall/retaining wall along the north and east property lines in conjunction with an approved day care facility. The retaining wall ranges in height from 2 to 7 feet. A 6 foot high screen wall will be on top, resulting in an overall maximum wall height of 13 feet. The subject property will be at a higher finished grade than the adjacent properties to the north and east. The screen wall being 6 feet high, as opposed to the required 8 foot high wall along the east property line per UC-1325-06.

 

This project has been the subject of much discussion from the TAB to the BCC.  It is another example of why we need the traffic plan, grading plan and drainage plan submitted with the design review.  The drainage required for this project requires extensive fill which elevated the project above the surrounding properties.  Had this been known at the time of the design review, other recommendations would have been made.  At this point, there is very little that can be done to affect the design of the project.

 

This project also points out another concern.  How ugly is six feet of retaining wall and 6ft of screen wall?  One solution is to offset the retaining wall and the screen wall.  Fill the space created and then plant a landscape strip between the retaining wall and the screen wall.  This would help break up the visual effect of the wall.  BCC morning consent agenda item # 38

 

Addition items to be heard by the PC or BCC.  These items were previously heard by the Enterprise TAB or went directly to the PC/BCC.
