H-1.  UC-0557-08 (ET-0159-09) – PETERSON, WALLY AND CHARLENE:

TAB Approved

Use permit

Waivers of Development Standards

Design Review

Staff conditions

TAB Denied

Waiver of Conditions

 

USE PERMITS FIRST EXTENSION TIME to review the following:

 

1) reduced minimum lot area; and

2) reduced landscaping.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) eliminate parking; and

2) reduced building separation.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a use permit (UC-0557-08) requiring the execution of a Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a residential boarding stable facility in conjunction with a single family residence on 1.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Shelbourne Avenue, 150 feet west of Edmond Street (alignment) within Enterprise.  

 

The discussion of this item centered on the Waiver of Conditions for a restrictive covenant agreement. 

A restrictive covenant is an agreement between the property owner/any future property owner and the County.  The agreement is intended to insure some type of monetary contribution at the time the County deems the roads in question need to be improved beyond their current condition. The contribution would be their proportionate share of paying to put in the road that runs in front of their property.

 

Now, this document also applies to any SIDs. Special Improvement Districts are when the County builds the road with County funds.  Then recoups it in a special assessment tax place on the neighboring properties.  The SID is normally repaid over time.

 

The TAB is fully in favor of residential boarding stables and supports this application with the exception of the Waiver of Conditions.  The applicant believes the restrictive covenant wording is too broad, and is very protective of the county.  This could leave the land owner exposed to a change of development standards or other government decisions.  It is possible a government decision could be made costing the property owner thousands of dollars without a public hearing.  The current text of the restrictive covenant leads one to believe more than off sites for roads are included.  The restrictive covenant as a legal document should be made more definitive.

 

The applicant attends to bring this matter before the BCC.     PC agenda item # 25

 

ATTACHMENT   A   Zoning Applications

 

08/04/09 PC

 

1.      DR-0390-09 – HKM NEVADA PROPERTIES, LLC:

TAB Approved per staff conditions

Added conditions from NDOT Letter of July 22, 2009

1.      Given the limited availability of access on Bermuda and that there is no potential for access requests from the adjacent property to the west; a reduced spacing for the project driveway on St. Rose Pkwy is acceptable.  Clark County should require cross access between this property and the property to the north, when it develops.

2.      Full half street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting will be required.

3.      Note that bus turn outs are not being required for St. Rose Pkwy.

4.      A right turn lane will be required for the driveway on St. Rose Pkwy.

5.      Approval of the traffic study does not give consent to construct as presented.  An Encroachment Permit from NDOT will be required for any work performed within State right-of-way. 

 

Review during the Encroachment Permit process may result in modifications to the proposed improvements, or denial.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a drive-thru restaurant on 2.6 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of St. Rose Parkway and the west side of Bermuda Road within Enterprise. 

 

This is the first of several businesses to locate on this property.  The applicant has taken a number of measures to mitigate the effect of a fast food restaurant on homes to the west. 

 

It was not possible to determine traffic flow on the site because the other business types are unknown at this time.  The entrances to the site are limited due to the drainage to the west and short site frontage on Bermuda.  The TAB added the NDOT conditions to the approval of the application.  It is desired that Civil Engineering will add these conditions as required to the application. 

 

This project has made provisions for the St. Rose Trail Plan (understandings between the Nevada Department of Transportation, City of Henderson, and Clark County with the City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department serving as the primary lead agency to facilitate implementation). The trail plan is intended to utilize what is potentially excess public right-of-way extending along St. Rose Parkway for trails and beautification.  PC routine action item # 4

 

 

2.      UC-0531-06 & WT-0690-06 (ET-0179-09) – OLYMPIA GROUP, LLC, ET AL: 

TAB Approved per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence modified residential development standards.

 

WAIVER to establish modified improvement standards on approximately 100.0 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone and an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the west side of Interstate 15 and the south side of St. Rose Parkway (alignment) within Enterprise.  PC routine action item # 7

 

 

3.      UC-0783-07 (ET-0171-09) – WINDMILL DURANGO RETAIL, LLC: 

         TAB Approved per staff conditions with

Current Planning bullet # 1 changed to read:  Until August 7, 2012 to commence.

 

USE PERMITS FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence the following:

 

1) allow on-premise consumption of alcohol establishment (supper club);

2) reduce the separation from an on-premise consumption of alcohol establishment (supper club) to a residential use; and

3) not maintain a 48 inch pedestrian access around the perimeter for outside dining.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a restaurant and retail building on a portion of 19.6 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Durango Drive and the south side of Windmill Lane within Enterprise. 

 

The applicant has request a 3 year extension of time which the TAB approved.  The staff recommendation was for two years.  The applicant has built two buildings on the project south end and intends to complete this project.  This applicant has been very supportive of the surrounding  neighborhood.  They worked very well with the adjacent property owners to blend their project into the neighborhood.  Including engineering and design work that normally would occur after the project has been approved.  This developer needs to be supported and encouraged. PC routine action item # 10

 

 

4.      UC-0405-09 – VENTO CARMINE AND ANN M. REV. FAMILY TRUST: 

         TAB Approved per staff recommendations

TAB approved

Use Permit

Waivers of Development Standards 1 and 3

TAB denied

Waiver of Development Standard 2

The TAB recommends the applicant work with Civil Engineering on turn around and throat depth requirements for property access from Fairfield prior to the PC hearing.

 

USE PERMIT to allow an accessory structure (pool) without a principal structure.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) increase wall height;

2) reduced access gate setback; and

3) alternative front yard screening

 

on 3.6 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Wigwam Avenue and the east side of Fairfield Avenue within Enterprise.    

 

The TAB believes this is an excellent use for the property.  It is essentially a family compound with one lot being used for recreational purposes.

 

The primary TAB concern was the gated access should allow for a turn around and not stack a second vehicle onto Fairfield.  Fairfield, at this time, dead ends at the southern property line.  However, the properties to the south are not developed and Fairfield may be required for access.  This would increase the future traffic on Fairfield.  PC agenda item # 26

 

5.      UC-0410-09 – HOSMER, CARL AND MARY: 

         TAB Approved with Current Planning bullet # 1 deleted

 

USE PERMIT for alternative design standards for accessory structures.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for alternative front yard screening standards on 1.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Wigwam Avenue, 150 feet east of Warbonnet Way within Enterprise. 

 

Bullet # 1 is a standard item.  It does not belong on this request.  

 

This application raises the question about the use of large metal storage containers and how they are handled in the development code.  The containers will not meet the requirement to be architecturally compatible with the principle structure.  These containers are being marketed for storage and other uses.  I suspect we will see more use permit requests for these containers.  PC routine action item # 16

 

6.      UC-0413-09 – JONES WINDMILL, LLC 

         TAB Approved per staff conditions

Added condition for sidewalk to match existing sidewalk configuration to the north and south of the applicant property.

 

USE PERMIT for a congregate care facility.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a congregate care facility on 2.2 acres in an RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Jones Boulevard, 900 feet north of Windmill Lane within Enterprise. 

 

Note:  “Congregate Care Facility” means any commercial building or building complex used or maintained to provide continuous nursing, dietary and other personal services to more than 10 people with disabilities or elderly persons who, without the assistance of any other person, are not physically or mentally capable of moving himself/herself from the room in which he/she sleeps to outside the facility in 4 minutes or less, but excluding cases of contagious or communicable diseases, surgery or primary treatments such as those customarily provided in sanitariums and hospitals, community residences, and as otherwise provided for by federal, state, and local regulations. 

 

The applicant has plans for a detached sidewalk.  The TAB felt the sidewalk should match the sidewalk to the north and south of the project for consistency. This condition should allow the applicant to proceed without having to request a new waiver.  PC routine action item # 17

 

 

7.      VS-0403-09 – THEREZO, ELIZABETH C.: 

         TAB Approved per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located 300 feet north of Ford Avenue on the west side of Schuster Street in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) (AE-60) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  PC routine action item # 21

         TAB Approved per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located on the south side of Mountains Edge Parkway, 942 feet west of Buffalo Drive in a C-2 (General Commercial), P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community within Enterprise (description on file).  PC routine action item # 22

 

 

9.      WS-0404-09 – WIENS, MAYNARD J., JR.: 

         TAB Approved per staff conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to increase sign area for a freestanding sign in conjunction with an existing tire sales and installation/automobile maintenance facility on 2.5 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the south side of Wigwam Avenue (alignment), 150 feet west of Arville Street within Enterprise.   

 

The TAB’s concern was the sign could be blocked by future development in the area.  The staff stated the height of the sign could be raised to 50 ft., if necessary, without a new waiver of development standards as long as the sign area was not increased.  PC routine action item # 23
