AGENDA

 

Date: June 25, 2008     Time: 6:30 p.m.

Location: Enterprise Library, 25 E. Shelbourne Avenue

 

 

The TAB welcomed its newest member Frank Kapriva.  We look forward to working with Frank.

 

DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION*

 

1.       Nominate and approve an Enterprise TAB alternate representative to the Comprehensive Planning Steering Committee. 

 

The TAB appointed Frank Kapriva as the alternate to the Comprehensive Steering Committee.  This committee makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners concerning overall county policy.

 

2.       Discuss efforts and support Spring Valley residents to expand the Clark County Trail System.

 

The TAB heard discussion on the need for preserving current open space in Spring Valley for future dispersed recreational needs.  The TAB voted to support these efforts of the Spring Valley residents.  A letter of support will be sent to recognize their efforts.  The text of this letter will be approved at the next TAB meeting.

 

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

 

The second phase of the Western Trails Park expansion is nearing completion.  Several residents have pointed out the need for a crossing on Warm Springs for pedestrians and horses to access the park.  This crossing should be planned into the expansion of Warm Springs.

 

The other topic brought up is the cut through traffic on Ullom and how it will become greater when Decatur goes under the UPRR track.  The real need is for a neighborhood traffic plan for the entire RNP.

Generally located on the south side of the 215 Beltway and the west side of Jones Boulevard within Enterprise. 

 

The TAB changed the staff condition from a two year extension to three years. The current economic conditions in the Las Vegas Valley  may warrant longer extensions.  PC consent agenda item # 5

 

2.        NZC-0527-08 - WINDMILL DURANGO, LP:  TAB Approved

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 14.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone to CRT (Commercial Residential Transition) Zone.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for alternative landscaping and screening.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for an office center. Generally located on the south side of Windmill Lane, 660 feet east of Durango Drive within Enterprise (description of file). 

 

This project is an outstanding example of cooperation between the developer and the neighbors.  It is also the best example to date of how to buffer the RNP.  The TAB recommendation consisted of a modification of staff conditions and a list of conditions submitted by SWAN.  The differences between the two versions are to be worked out prior to the PC meeting.

 

The plans depict a 152,800 square foot professional office park. The overall building area is distributed throughout 16 single story buildings that range from 5,612 to 11,900 square feet and are oriented around courtyards and connected by meandering drive aisles and parking areas, distributed into parking courts. The proposed lot coverage is approximately 25%. Access to the site is proposed with one primary driveway from Windmill Lane and 2 future cross access points along the west property line with the developing shopping and office center. The overall parcel is approximately 16 acres but this request is for 14 acres.  An approximate 1.9 acre portion,  fronting onto Gagnier Blvd, is being excluded and will stay undeveloped,  zoned R-E, and stay within the RNP area. There is no access proposed to Camero Avenue. The following are site and architectural elements, some of which were developed with community input, that are being provided for this project:

 

1.   Setbacks:   20 foot setback along Windmill Lane, 40 foot setback along the east, 80 foot setback along Camero Avenue, and 20 foot setback along the west.

2.   Architecture:   Building elevations contain residential elements such as pitched tile roofs, stucco exteriors with stone accents, and window and door fenestration.

3.   Building Height:   28 feet; and

4.   Landscaping: Minimum width of 15 feet along west and east portions of site with

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce parking for an existing office warehouse building on 1.3 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-65) Zone. Generally located on the east side of Rafael Ridge Way (alignment), 300 feet north of Capovilla Avenue within Enterprise.

 

This item posed the question, “When does the transition from a warehouse to an office use occur?”  The unwritten rule is 49% vs. 51% is used to determine when the building usage changes. In this case, the air conditioning of part of the warehouse pushed the use into the office use category.  Now an office use permit is required and the parking requirement is doubled.  PC agenda item # 19
