The
placement of the Tire Works building was a very contentious item when the
Design Review was before the TAB due to the residence directly to the east. The TAB felt this type of business should not
be placed adjacent to residential property. Clark
County Public Response Office violation #08 - 21498 was filed against this property regarding light shining onto
neighboring properties. And the issue
with the sign was discovered during
the inspection. The TAB opinion is that an
illuminated sign is not appropriate in its current location. The sign would be visible without illumination
during business hours which were restricted to

The original plans depicted a two-story, 4,232 square foot
residence to be converted to a place of
worship on the first floor with a rectory on the second floor
and an adjacent vacant lot to the
south to be used as a parking lot. On the original approval, the
use permit for the place of
worship, the design review, and several waivers of development
standards were approved.
However, waivers of development standards for off-site
improvements and landscaping were denied.
The applicant states the
potential cost of providing those improvements kept the place of
worship from moving forward with any improvements. The applicant
further states that the size of the congregation has grown and with the growth,
funding has improved. The Board of
Directors of the place of worship have decided to move ahead with plans for a
new building in addition to the existing building on the site. Therefore, the
applicant is requesting a two year extension of time in order to get the new
plans finalized.
During the TAB hearing, several health and safety items were
presented. First, the health department
requires the septic be abandoned and the property hooked up to sewer. Second, the church does not have a place of assembly
designation from the county. Third, code
enforcement has issued a cease and desist order to be enforced by

This item was not properly noticed
to the surrounding property owners. The
BCC meeting date for this item is changed to 4 Feb 2009. The county staff opinion is the TAB could hear the item

practice and the proper notices needed to be made prior to any hearing. BCC morning consent agenda item # 17 (application cannot
be heard due to the problems with the public notice.)

This is a very nice upscale project that will
add to the area. There are TAB concerns
about the traffic flow on and off Las Vegas Blvd as there is significant
congestion in the area now. The other
two concerns were how the lighting would affect arriving aircraft and the
height of the building vs. the aircraft flight path. The project is located approximately 5000 ft
from the end of McCarran runway 01R & L.
There is a need to protect the approach and departure paths for the
airport. The applicant has delayed the
BCC hearing to obtain the FAA decision on building height.

DESIGN REVIEW for a shopping center. Generally located on the
west side of
This application has changed significantly since
the Enterprise TAB hearing. The current
design has not been reviewed by the residents or the TAB. This is a case of the developer changing the
plans after the initial public review and holding the item long enough to
diminish the opposition. Also, the staff
recommendation has changed from denial to approval. The zone change should be approved and the
design review sent back to the TAB.
Comments from the November TAB hearing:
This application should have been submitted as
a non-conforming zone change. Four of
the five uses are not allowed in a C-1 zone district (see above). They are C-2
zone district uses. The applicant stated
that they looked at the neighborhood needs to determine the type of business
for this property. This does not provide justification to allow businesses that
are not permitted in the C-1 zone district. There are too many setback
reductions with this application, especially next to a residential
neighborhood. Also, there is a church
within a thousand feet that would restrict the serving of alcohol without
special license hearings.
