A resident of the Mountain’s Edge community
had questions concerning the types/style of houses being marketed by a new
developer. They were advised to contact
Major Projects for answers to their questions. If a house design complies with
the Clark County Development code and is allowed by the Major Project Plan it
would be an administrative approval. The
TAB would only hear the exception to the development code.

If approved: per staff conditions
TEXT AMENDMENT to amend Chapter 30.16, 30.76 and 30.80
of the Unified Development Code to allow off-premise signs (billboards) to be
rebuilt on the same parcel.
Two
critical pieces of information the TAB needed, not in the staff report, were
the original BCC intent for the 2004 billboard ordinance and the effect of the
digital bill board ordinance on the current application. Both sides of this
issue were represented at the TAB and provided an excellent discussion of their
positions. The TAB felt the original
intent of the BCC was to reduce the number of billboards. That was the basis for the TAB denial. BCC

this item. In previous applications of
this type, the staff member present would provide additional information if no

and 10 are companion items. This is a
redesign of a project presented two years ago.
The project size has been significantly reduced and the overall
appearance greatly improved. One reason
for the change is the building construction was changed from steel to wood
frame at a significant cost reduction. The staff initially opposed this project
because it did not have the required pedestrian orientation. The plan presented to the TAB was redesigned
with the focus on the pedestrian elements.
The
TAB felt that 15 foot light poles for the parking lot next to single family
residential property would help reduce light spillover. The applicant thought it would help prevent
spill over into the second floor condo windows.

This
area is an excellent example of how the land use plan was not followed and uses
that are not compatible are next to each other.
This is an industrial facility that is being surrounded by houses. The area was planned as an industrial area to
provide a buffer from the UPRR tracks.
There is a good probability that this business will move to a more
favorable location as more residential is build in the area.
The
staff had recommended several of the waivers not be approved. ie: denial
of the use permit, waiver of development standards #3, and waivers of
conditions #3, and the required
landscaping portion of waiver of conditions #4
The
TAB examined each area to which the staff objected. The applicant supplied pictures of each area
which greatly helped the TAB decisions.
The TAB suggest the applicant look at moving some of their stacked items
to the center of the property to reduce the visual effect of the stacks. This was not made a condition and can be
looked at with the 18 month review. The
TAB felt the current landscape and buffering was adequate.
The
modular office building is consistent with those on other industrial sites and
should be approved with associated waivers.

TAB Denied.
The applicant has
withdrawn the Waiver of Conditions.
If approved: delete Major Projects Engineering first bullet,
construct full off sites.
This
item resulted in considerable discussion on several factors that affect this application. The TAB denial was based upon the need to
consider land use on the entire west side of Rainbow during the Enterprise
Major Land Use update. This application
is spot zoning that would set a precedent without considering the entire area
and the effect on the RNP to the west. C-1 may be appropriate for the west side
of Rainbow. However, the number of
special use permits allowed in the C-1 zone district must be considered. Most of the special use permit uses are not
appropriate next to an RNP-1.
The
Waiver of Conditions withdrawal preserves the trail on the western side of the
property and provides an additional buffer to the RNP-1 area. This trail has been planned since the
inception of the Mountain’s Edge Master Plan.
The trail was one promise made to the RNP residents to include their
property in the Mountain’s Edge concept area.
This promise must be honored. The
loss of the trail right-of-way would delete a major section of the planned
trails. The trail plan revision would
create a significant delay in trail development. In addition, RNP buffering would be lost.
The
overall design of the project is one of the best the TAB has seen next to an
RNP-1. The design of the buildings has
sufficient residential character to blend with the neighborhood. The staff conditions reduce the impact of the
project on the adjacent residential.
One
very significant issue revealed by this application is the off sites FOCUS
contracted to provide, have not yet started.
The applicant is paying the SID that covers the west side of
Rainbow. The property owner has meet
his/her responsibility for off sites by participating in the SID. Major
Projects must pursue FOCUS to complete
the promised off sites under SID # 142.
Any suggestion by county staff that the applicant be required to
construct the off sites is not appropriate and could result in legal action
against the county. This problem is not
limited to this property. Additional
property owners are paying into the SID, yet do not have the infrastructure to
proceed with their projects. The TAB
felt it could not require a property owner to pay for the off sites twice.

Waiver of Conditions was Withdrawn
29. NZC-0203-09 – NEW DIRT, LLC:
HOLDOVER ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.2 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) (AE-60) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) (AE-60) Zone.

TAB Denied
This
application has very significant neighborhood opposition. The TAB discussion looked at the following:
· This project would set a bad precedent and could lead to a
significant loss of the RNP-1 in this area.
· Title 30 states “for sites which are typically greater
than 10 acres.” This site is too small
for C-2
· There is
insufficient room for proper buffering.
· C-2 is
not appropriate within a RNP-1 overlay
· Access
must be through the RNP. There is no access from 215 frontage and access to the
west is blocked by UPRR
· Once the
C-2 zone district is granted, any number of very intense uses could be placed
on the property.
The application does not meet the five Title 30 criteria for a non-conforming zone change. The TAB agreed with the staff analysis on the zone change.
PC Action - Denied
