HOLDOVER AMENDED ZONE CHANGE SECOND
EXTENSION OF TIME to reclassify 4.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates
Residential) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) Zone to construct a shopping
center.
USE PERMIT to reduce the
separation between a residential use and the on-premise consumption of alcohol
to 15
feet where 200 feet is required (a 93% reduction) (previously not notified).
Generally located on the northeast corner of Buffalo Drive and
Robindale Road within Enterprise (description on file).
This
item was intensely discussed because the neighborhood has developed around the property
since the original zone change was granted.
Residences are on the north and east property lines. A Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) was built
near the property. The applicant
presented the deed restrictions that were placed upon the property when it was
purchased. These restrictions define
what types of business are permitted and require specific design features. This property is further restricted by
Cooperative Management Area (CMA) deed restrictions.
The
TAB needed to balance the property owner’s right to develop the property and
neighbors’ expectations. The neighbors are
concerned with building placement and the business types that would occupy
them. The LDS representatives are
concerned with the sale and use of alcohol on the property. The property owner wants to establish
profitable businesses consistent with the approved zoning. The TAB felt a tavern use was too intense and
the applicant agreed not to build one.
The proposed restaurant has been moved from the east property line to a
pad closer to Buffalo Drive. This
increases the distance from the residences from 15 ft to 65 ft. The TAB would like see it further from the
residences. The Design Review will help resolve more of the neighbors’
objections. BCC morning consent agenda item # 10
ZONING AGENDA
01/06/09 PC
1. UC-1095-08 – CIMINO, PIETRO: TAB approved Use Permits 1,2, and 4. TAB denied Use permit 3: Per staff conditions
USE PERMITS for the
following:
1) cumulative area of all accessory structures exceeding the
footprint of the principal structure;
2) an accessory structure larger than half the building
footprint of the principal structure;
3) an accessory structure not architecturally compatible with
the principal structure; and
4) allow alternative roof pitch
on 1.3 acres in
an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the east side of Placid Street, 300 feet south
of Eldorado Lane within Enterprise.
The
neighborhood was well represented and had several objections to how the owner
maintained his property. The neighbors
wanted to insure the new building would blend into the area. They also wanted the property cleaned
up. Their complaints included a chain
link fence not removed after block wall construction, several RVs parked on the
property and a continuous garage sale with junk in the front yard.
The
TAB felt this type of structure is appropriate for the area. Use Permit # 3 was denied to insure the
structure is compatible with the surrounding area. Several of the items brought up by the
neighbors could be code violations and would need to be handled by public
response. PC consent

WAIVER OF
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to increase perimeter wall heights in conjunction with an

Boulevard South and Interstate 15, and between Bruner Avenue and St. Rose
Parkway within Enterprise. BCC morning consent agenda item # 4
4. DR-1013-07

TAB approved with 10 year review - replaced
staff condition to remove time limit.
All other staff conditions
approved.
HOLDOVER USE PERMIT
FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to review a horse riding/rental stable
.
WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:
1) increase the number of horses; and
2) reduce the lot area.
DESIGN REVIEW for a horse
riding/rental stable on 2.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I)
Zone. Generally located on the
northwest corner of Cameron Street and Eldorado Lane within
Enterprise.
The
staff recommended denial of this extension.
Civil Engineering objected because Eldorado has not been paved as
required by the original application approval.
The applicant and the county have been sued by a neighbor over the use
of this land as a riding stable. Until
the lawsuit is resolved, the applicant
does not want to expend the funds to pave Eldorado. The TAB suggested the applicant talk to Civil
Engineering about place a covenant on the deed to pave Eldorado when the county
fully develops the road.
The
TAB did not like the idea of no review period because the use permit runs with
the property. If the property is sold
would the new owner be as diligent in taking care of the property upkeep? There were ten neighbors present who
supported this item. BCC morning agenda item # 17
6. WT-1015-07
(ET-0323-08) – YARAN. LLC: TAB approved

DESIGN REVIEW for an
equipment storage facility. Generally located
on the south side of Gomer Road, 315 feet east of Redwood Street (alignment) within
Enterprise (description on file).
The
TAB felt a 2 year landscape review was not appropriate for this industrial area
and the deed covenant is a better way to insure the landscaping is eventually
put in. The applicant also stated that
Gomer Road would be paved to their eastern boundary. This will provide access to the property
located to the east. BCC morning consent agenda item # 15

APPEAL
USE PERMIT for revised setback in

PC
action:
Major Projects - Planning
• Rear yard setbacks are reduced to 12 feet for lots backing onto
perimeter public streets (Le Baron Avenue, Fort Apache Road, and
Quarterhorse Lane) and the easement on the northeast corner of the project,
with all other lots maintaining a 15 foot rear yard setback;
• All applicable standard conditions for this application type.
• Applicant is advised that any change in circumstances or regulations may
be justification for the denial of an extension of time; and that this
application must commence within 2 years of approval date or it will expire.
TAB
comments:
This
revision allows a reduction in the rear yard setback from 15 feet to 10 feet.
Not all the lots within the development need a reduction in the rear
setback. However, one of the previously
approved floor plans does not fit onto every lot located within
Sterling Ridge.
Several residents objected to the reduction of the rear yard setback. Individuals who bought into this development expected to have a 15 ft back yard and 30 ft to the back of the house next to them. This change may allow the developer to sell additional houses. However, the current residents may not have purchased their houses with a reduced setback. The reduced set back was viewed as a determent to the community.
That the Board of County
Commissioners discuss the Planning Commission meetings and direct staff
accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the continuing
County-wide effort to reduce costs, it is being proposed to reduce the number
of Planning Commission (PC) meetings from four per month to two per month.
There has been a significant decrease in the number of
new applications resulting in shorter meeting times. Cost savings will come
from reduced overtime, Planning Commission honorarium, notification costs, and
food. This savings is estimated to be $12,000 per year. There may be additional savings in other departments such as
Development Services, Public Information, and Real Property Management.
The Planning Commission currently meets on the first and
third Tuesdays and Thursdays of each month. Staff is proposing to meet on
Thursday for the following reasons:
1.
By combining the meetings, they will now be
approximately four hours long. With the meeting time currently starting at 7:00
p.m., this means the meetings may not end until 11:00 p.m. Some staff members
work Tuesday night and then have to work the Board of County Commissioner
meeting the next morning.
2.
It allows
staff more time to prepare for the meeting.
There
is a request for the PC meeting to occur on Tuesday night so that it does not
conflict with the City of Las Vegas Planning Commission meeting which occurs on
Thursday night.
As
a result of the combining the meetings, staff is also proposing to move the
start time of the meeting from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
There has also been a request by
Commissioner Guinchigliani to have the meetings televised live. The County Commissioners have
received a summary of the associated costs and issues.
