DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION*
1. Approve a
letter from the Enterprise TAB in support of the Spring Valley residents to
expand the Clark County Trail System. TAB approved
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
The
area east of Las Vegas Blvd along Robindale has several houses being used for
short term rentals (party houses). The
county code requires rentals to be at least a 30 day lease. If you see this type of activity it should be
reported to Code Enforcement or 911, if the situation warrants. Vacant houses with broken windows or doors
should also be reported to code enforcement so they can be secured.
The
Metro Enterprise sub-station at Rainbow and Windmill is slated to be open on
Friday, July 11, 2008. This will be a
welcome addition to Enterprise.

2. UC-0468-08 – DAVIS, KATHRYN & TIMOTHY: TAB approved with a one year review
USE PERMITS for the following:
1) increase the
number of horses permitted;
2) reduce the
minimum exercise area;
3) eliminate the
side setback;
4) reduce the
minimum lot area for a horse riding/rental stable facility;
5) allow an
accessory agricultural structure to exceed more than one-half the footprint of
the principal dwelling;
6) allow all
accessory agricultural structures to exceed the footprint of the principal
dwelling; and
7) allow metal
agricultural accessory buildings to have a non-decorative metal roof.
WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the
following:
1) reduced side
setback;
2) reduced rear
setback;
3) reduce the
separation between structures; and
4) eliminate
parking for a commercial boarding stable
in conjunction
with a single family residence on 0.9 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates
Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located
on the east side of Rancho Destino Road, 360 feet south of Robindale Road within
Enterprise.
This
item was approved by the TAB on a 3 to 1 vote.
The only reason this item passed the TAB was the addition of a one year
review. There is no assurance that the 1
yr review will be incorporated by the PC.
In addition, it will not resolve any of the waivers. However, a commercial project with this
number of waivers would not have passed the TAB.
The
neighbors showed strong support for the stables. The arguments used to pass this item could be
used for a number of other projects, such as a place of worship (ie., dust is
under control, they’re good people, it’s a clean operation). The
passage of this item makes the effort to establish Title 30 code to protect the
RNP-1 overlay harder to do. It
perpetuates the thought that the RNP’s are unruly places where anything
goes. The other problem with this
project is the use of a domestic well for commercial purposes, which is not
permitted by the state. The dust control
required for this stable most likely involves over pumping of the well permit. PC agenda item # 30
3. UC-0549-08 – WYSON, JOSEPH & JANA: TAB approved
USE PERMIT for an accessory structure (horse riding arena) prior to
the establishment of the principal use (single family residence) on a portion
of 2.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the south side of Torino Avenue, 400 feet west
of Bermuda Avenue within Enterprise.
The
applicant will move the horse riding arena to comply with the set back
requirements. PC consent
agenda item # 9
4. UC-0578-08 – DOUBLE PLAY ENTERPRISES, LLC: TAB approved
USE PERMITS for the following:
1) a
communications tower; and
2) reduced
separation for a communications tower from another communications tower.
DESIGN REVIEW for a communications tower in
conjunction with an existing commercial building on a portion of 1.0 acre in an
H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone in the MUD-1 Overlay District.
Generally located on the west side of Las
Vegas Boulevard South, 125 feet south of Richmar Avenue within
Enterprise. PC consent agenda item # 11
5. VS-1634-04 (WC-0158-08) – NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION: TAB approved
WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a vacation and abandonment requiring
right-of-way dedication to include a County approved turn around at the
northerly terminus of Rogers Street or vacation to record concurrently with
VS-0665-04 (only the part along Rogers Street) in an H-2 (General Highway
Frontage) Zone. Generally located on the
south side of Blue Diamond Road, 376 feet east of Cameron Street within
Enterprise.
Rogers,
in this area, is not needed due to the development occurring south of the property. The development to the south has established
a new road pattern for the area. PC consent agenda item # 24
6. WS-0560-08 – DAVIS, IRMAGARD: Held by applicant
WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the
following:
1) reduce the
side yard setback for an existing accessory agricultural building (horse
stable); and
2) eliminate
required tree plantings along portions of the side and rear yards of the
property
on 2.2 acres in
an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone. Generally located
on the west side of Bermuda Road, 620 feet north of Windmill Lane within
Enterprise. PC
agenda item # 34
7. WS-0589-08 – SHORT LINE HORIZON, LLC: TAB approved
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the
requirement that a letter be submitted by the party holding interest in an
easement to allow improvements within the easement in conjunction with an
approved shopping center on 2.0 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.
Generally located on southwest corner of
Fort Apache Road and Longboat Key Avenue within Enterprise.
This
is a case of one bureaucracy not accepting the letter from another bureaucracy. The building department does not consider the
letter from the Southern Nevada Water Authority adequate to allow the requested
improvements. So, a waiver is needed to
resolve the problem. The preverbial
catch 22. PC

8. WS-0609-08 – CIELO’S EDGE, LLC.: TAB approved with conditions
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce
driveway throat depth for a commercial shopping center.
DESIGN REVIEW for a commercial center which includes
5 commercial buildings and area that will be reserved for future development on
10.4 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) P-C (Planned Community Overlay
District) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community. Generally located on the northeast corner of Buffalo Drive and
Cactus Avenue within Enterprise.
The
driveway throat depth was a concern of the TAB.
The project is located along two major roadways and will require
adequate room for vehicles to turn into the property. There are no current plans for the northeast
corner of the site. As a result, is hard
to estimate the additional traffic it will generate. The TAB approval was for increased throat
depth, or a deceleration lane, for both entrances. Lighting standards were also added to the
project. The same lighting standards were used in item # 1. PC consent agenda item # 27
07/16/08 BCC
9. TA-0567-08 – PETERSON MANAGEMENT, LLC: TAB denied
TEXT AMENDMENT to amend Table 30.44-1, Chapter 30.44
of the Unified Development Code to allow gravel pits in an M-2 (Industrial)
Zone. The TAB felt
that gravel pits have an impact beyond the area where they are located and
should be restricted to the most rural areas of the county. It would also make the establishment of new M-2
zone districts harder to establish, given the general public dislike of gravel
pits. BCC afternoon
