ENTERPRISE TAB WATCH RESULTS

 

COMMISSIONER WOODBURY HAS ASKED THAT I  PASS ON THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO EACH OF US:

 

             As you may know, it has been determined that I am not eligible to seek re-election this year.  My term will end on January 4, 2009.  Please accept my deep appreciation for the wonderful privilege of public service, which you have given me over these past 28 years.  I will never forget the kindness and support shown to me by the people of the Town of Enterprise.  I can only hope that my efforts have proven to be beneficial to our community, as we have worked together to strengthen our master plan, establish strong RNP areas, and protect our residential neighborhoods from incompatible new development.  I especially appreciate the dedicated work on the part of the Town Advisory Board members, past and present, SWAN, so many neighborhood leaders and the countless good citizens who have participated on these important issues.

 

            I am pleased that one of the fine former Enterprise TAB members, Brian Scroggins, is a candidate to take my place on the County Commission.  He has my total support, and I know he shares your commitment to preserving and improving the quality of life in Enterprise and protecting the integrity of your neighborhoods.

 

            Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance to you.  I can be reached at blw@juww.com.

 

Sincerely,  

 

Bruce L. Woodbury

Board of county Commissioners 9:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M., WEDNESDAY, October 8, 2008.

CALL TO ORDER*:

 

1. Enterprise TAB budget requests for 2009.

 

CP-1024-08*  TAB approved

A proposed amendment to the Clark County Transportation Element to remove Pebble road as a 100 foot arterial from 660 feet west of Ft apache Road to Hualapai Way. The first 660 feet of Pebble Road west of Ft Apache to be reduced to an 80 foot collector. 

 

This amendment will allow for the development of the westernmost RNP in Enterprise.  The 100ft Pebble right-of-way had cut the RNP in half.  It is interesting to note the applicants commissioned their own traffic study to convince the county that the 100 ft right of way was not needed.   BCC afternoon agenda item # 34

 

Presentation*

on the development of trails in the southwest. The Enterprise TAB conducts a review, public discussion and makes recommendations as necessary on the Southwest Trail plans and funding.

 

•   March 2008 — County was awarded $1.2 million for trail construction in 4 RNP (two in the SW and two in the NW) areas and near Western Trails Park.

•   2008 — County hired a consultant to obtain BLM rights-of-way in RNP areas. This process is underway.

•   Trails design and construction process will begin sometime in early to mid 2009, once all ROW is secured. See the link below for the trail plan.

 

SW Trail Plan

 

•  The county staff feels the $1.2 million will be sufficient to complete the four RNP trail projects.

 

The TAB’s concern is the necessary funding be directed to the trails in the SW RNPs. The other areas in line for funds already have parts of their trail plan built out.  The western part of Enterprise does not have any trails built to date.

 

 

Presentation*

and recommendations for the Enterprise TAB conduct public hearings on how to buffer low density residential next to commercial uses and make recommendations as required

 

The buffering of low density residential is very difficult to accomplish with the current tools available.  The Residents, County Staff, Town Advisory Boards, Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners have recognized that there are insufficient tools available to create transition zones that are beneficial to the community.  With that in mind, the following proposals are set out for discussion.                                                               

 

1. A zone district or overlay be established to permit a mixture of low intensity commercial and residential within the same zone district or land use.

 

2. Title 30 be modified to allow a select set of current Local Business (C-1) uses in the Office Professional (C-P) zone district with a special use permit.

 

This item will be discussed over the next few TAB meetings.

 

.

Discussion

Item on Digital billboards.

 

The County staff presented the framework for new digital billboards’ development standards. The final version should be presented to the BCC in December.

 

Luminance

•   6,000 nits dawn to dusk

•   1,500 nits dusk to dawn (based on ambient light levels)

•   Ambient light monitors required

•   Default design in event of malfunction (not bright white)

 

Note:  Nit is a name also used for the luminous intensity, in a given direction.

 

The points that the TAB had comments or concerns were:

 

Stakeholders concerned with 1000' separation and separation from residential:  TAB to keep 1500ft separation.

Stakeholders want to include MUD-2 areas as well:  TAB does not permit in MUD-2.

TAB had questions about the level of fines and no warning being issued.

Generally located on the north side of Golf Estates Drive (alignment) and the west side of Augusta National Drive within Enterprise.   

 

Given the current economic conditions in the valley, the TAB felt a longer time to commence was warranted.  This reasoning was applied to several applications considered on this agenda.  PC consent agenda item # 4

 

2.       UC-0560-08 – DAVIS, IRMAGARD:  Same Item # 1a,  TAB approved

 

AMENDED HOLDOVER USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) eliminate required tree plantings along portions of the side and rear yards of the property (previously not notified); and

3.       UC-0821-08 - MAJESTIC NEVADA PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLC:  TAB approved:  with the condition for 2 years to commence and review

 

USE PERMIT for alternative exterior materials (fabric structure)

.

DESIGN REVIEW for a fabric structure (tent) in conjunction with a resort hotel (Silverton) on a portion of 70.5 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) (AE-60) (AE-65) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District. Generally located on the south side of Blue Diamond Road and the west side of Interstate 15 within Enterprise. 

 

This is a temporary structure until the next phase of construction at the Silverton commences. The Silverton has slowed their makeover due to the current financial climate.  PC consent agenda item # 13

 

4.       UC-0823-08 – FIRE STATION PLAZA, LLC:   TAB approved per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT to allow a childcare facility in conjunction with an approved commercial center on approximately 4.2 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community. Generally located on the southeast corner of Southern Highlands Parkway and Valley View Boulevard within Enterprise.  PC consent agenda item # 14

 

 

5.       VS-0783-08 – UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ET AL:   TAB Denied

 

VACATE AND ABANDON portions of rights-of-way being Sorrel Street located between Ford Avenue and Torino Avenue, and Ford Avenue located between Redwood Street and Torrey Pines Drive in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone and an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone within Enterprise (description on file). 

 

The TAB’s position is there are insufficient options for traffic flow around the school particularly to the south and the west.  As the area is developed, this right-of-way may be needed to solve traffic flow problems that occur around schools. The abandonment of Ford would block an east/west route and Sorrel a north/south route.  It is too early to abandon right-of-way in this area.  PC consent agenda item # 16

 

6.       VS-0801-08 – ROSE STREET REALTY, INC.:   TAB approved

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Procyon Street (alignment) and Polaris Street (alignment), and between Camero Avenue and Wigwam Avenue (alignment) in a C-2 (General Commercial) (AE-60) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District within Enterprise (description on file).  PC consent agenda item # 17

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow excess fill on 4.2 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-3 and CMA Design Overlay Districts. Generally located on the east side of Rainbow Boulevard and south of Badura Avenue (alignment) within Enterprise.  PC consent agenda item # 20

Generally located on the north side of Larson Lane, 300 feet east of Las Vegas Boulevard South within Enterprise.

 

This item generated considerable discussion.  The staff has requested a five year review due to development in the area.  This site has provided facilities for medical helicopters since 1982.  The site provides maintenance facilities and crew quarters.  The TAB felt this is an essential life saving service to the community and should not be squeezed out by future development. The TAB agreed with the applicant to make this Use Permit permanent. 

 

It must be noted that the Staff has not found any documented complaints or issues that would adversely impact the immediate area due to the continuing operations of this heliport.  BCC morning consent agenda item # 7
