for a shopping center. Generally located on the west side of
This application was heard by the TAB in early
November with 10 Use Permits requested. After the TAB
hearing, the applicant significantly revised the site plans and the application
was returned to the TAB for an additional hearing. The zone change is
conforming and appropriate to the area. The convenience store and the
service station require Special Use Permits in a C-1 zone. The intent of
the Special Use Permit is to closely examine if the requested use really fits
in the area. See the note below for the Title 30 definition for Special
Use Permits. The TAB felt the convenience store was sufficiently shielded
from the residences by the in-line retail to grant the Special Use
Permit. The TAB did not consider the service station an appropriate use
in this location as the use is too intense for the neighborhood.
The placement of the in-line building was
discussed with the residents to the west with pros and cons of a drive aisle
behind the building. The TAB felt the drive aisle provided some
additional buffering space to the residences to the west. The condition
for emergency exits only on the rear of the in-line building would provide some
additional protection for the residents.
Note: “Special Use” means a use that,
due to a special characteristic of its operation or installation, is not
permitted in any specific district but is permitted with discretion in a
district subject to review by the Commission or the Board to ensure
compatibility with existing or planned surrounding uses and characteristics of
development. BCC morning consent agenda item # 15

The waiver for full off-sites was denied in
UC-1426-07.
The
applicant is moving forward to install the required off-sites. One issue not
discussed is the use of Non-Urban Road Design Standards. This
property is located inside the RNP-1 overlay. The surrounding properties
will not construct full off-sites at this time. Ullom should be developed
using the Non-Urban Road design standards and require additional paving width
to accommodate parking and additional traffic. Robindale could be
constructed with full off sites or additional paving width and lead ins provided. Additionally, a covenant executed for
full off sites, if needed, in the future. This solution has been used in

TAB Denied with condition.
1. If approved, the Waiver of Conditions be applied to the chapel design only.
This
was the most contentious item of the night. There was strong
resident/developer opposition to using the property as a cemetery. There
were no residents in favor of this plan. The arguments against
applications were the residents felt their property values would be degraded
more by a cemetery than a business complex. The design of the chapel was
too high and bulky. Finally, some residents did not like the idea of living
next to a cemetery. During the discussion, the residents stated they
thought a commercial center was a better property use. The TAB questioned
this view. The residents stated that convenience store, gas station, car
wash, tavern and other C-2 uses were acceptable alternatives. The
question is what would the resident opposition be if
these uses were proposed on this property.
One
TAB member felt strongly that the previous approval of C-2 zoning was based
upon a commercial center and the current proposed use was too drastic of a
change from the project which created the zoning.
The other TAB concern was removing the Waiver of
Conditions (ZC-1721-05 and ZC-0314-05, December 05) restricting the
building height to 35 ft. It was confirmed by the staff member present
that this waiver would remove the restriction from the original zone
change. If this project is approved and then not built, the next project
could go to 50 ft if the Waiver of Conditions is approved as stated. The
TAB recommended the 35 ft restriction be kept in place and if necessary grant
the additional chapel height for this application only.

The
placement of the Tire Works building was a very contentious item when the
Design Review was before the TAB. The TAB has felt that this type of
business should not be place 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 an
illuminate sign is not appropriate in its current location. The sign
would be visible without illumination during the business hours which were restricted
