about the need for builders to be able to alter approved plans. The County requires construction be done
exactly as shown on approved plans. If a
plan error has occurred it is often easier and cheaper to build the mistake
rather than go back through the County process to correct problem. In some
cases, the error is contrary to County code.

Project Description
The applicant is requesting a use permit to
allow extended hours of live entertainment and reduced separation for a
temporary outdoor commercial event during the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) from
December 4 through December 12. Hours of operation may vary but will not fall
outside the hours of
The TAB was split on this item resulting in no
recommendation. Two TAB members wanted
to modify the use permit conditions to make it more acceptable to the
neighborhood. The other two TAB members
believe a large commercial venture has no place in a rural residential
area. The general TAB consensus was the
staff conditions were not sufficient to protect the neighborhood.
This presentation started out proclaiming the
charitable benefits of this event. The
charitable aspects seemed to divert attention from the Use Permits and Design
Reviews. The event company made several statements that would lead one to
question the charitable benefits to our community.
·
The event producer is a commercial venture who donates some
profits to charity.
·
They are not significantly different from a company that donates
to the
·
They are not a nonprofit dedicated to fundraising for charities.
·
23 % of their profits go to a charity - a very low percentage
for a charitable organization.
·
No local charity was mentioned or represented to receive the
money from this event.
·
The indication is most profits generated from this event will
leave the Valley.
·
There was mention of charitable events held at the property
previously. However, no direct
connection to this event was established.
The applicant, Mr. Stuart, claimed he was
grandfathered for 12 events per year; but, in fact, his prior request for a Use
Permit for 12 events per year was turned down by the Board of County
Commissioners. The
Factors that influence the use permit:
·
Operator expects to attract 300 to 400 hundred people per night
with live entertainment, food and alcohol sales
·
Porta-potties will be used
·
Dust control water will be obtained from hydrant.
·
Amplified music will exceed county residential noise standards
·
Tents with large screen TVs will be set to view the National
Finals Rodeo (NFR)
·
This event is planned on raw land.
Conditions to protect the neighborhood if use
permit is approved:
·
All staff conditions except hours of operation
·
Reduced hours of operation on all days.
o
Staff recommendation of hours of operation be
limited to
o
Hours of operation be limited to
·
No overnight parking (no facilities for RVs
and Campers)
·
No use of electrical generators (could be
limited to event hours)
·
All parking surfaces and pedestrian areas to
have a county approved dust control surface.
·
Buses to use the area adjacent to Windmill for
drop off and pickup
·
All lighting must meet county lighting
standards to prevent spillover to adjacent properties
This event appears to be a large NFR party
that would set a bad precedent for commercial events in residential areas. Potential significant mitigating factors
would be if the operator was a nonprofit with low expenses and the generated
money given to

This item generated considerable
discussion. There are several factors
that affect this request.
First, the Staff position is a factor. In order to help beautify the streetscape,
staff believes live landscaping should be incorporated into the strip in
question. The street landscaping will also buffer the existing residential
subdivision from
The second factor is the St. Rose Parkway
Trail design guidelines. The trail design
guidelines have been adopted by the City of
The third factor is the applicants’ position
that the final map was recorded with the drainage channel in the wrong place
and they do not want to mitigate the error.
The applicant does not want the expense to provide electric and water to
the landscape strip. In addition, the
HOA does not want the expense to maintain the landscape strip.
The TAB strongly felt landscaping in this area
is a critical part of the St. Rose Parkway Trail. Allowing the applicant to not install the
landscaping would set a poor precedent and degrade the trail project in this
area. Because the final map was not
correctly drawn is not a reason to relieve the applicant of a requirement being
placed on other property owners along

DESIGN REVIEW
for decorative
water features in conjunction with an existing RV park on portions of 5.2 acres
in an R-V-P (
The plans depict water features within the Las Vegas Motorcoach
Resort consisting of 3 ponds and 2 urns.
The 2 urns have the appearance
of large pots with water bubbling out of the top and flowing down the sides and
are located on both the north and south sides of the clubhouse building within
round, catch basins.
The staff does not routinely support
approval of water features. The 3 ponds in this request have already received Administrative Design Review approval to
operate due to the removal of turf
and payment of fees to the Water District.
The 2 urn
water features were never approved for construction through a design review nor approved to
operate through the administrative design review process.
The TAB opinion is the 2 urns
should go through the design review process.
The objective is to operate the urns as long as the water use is offset
by removing turf and xeriscape. One solution
is the replacement of the turf around the urns with xeriscape. The review process at the Las Vegas Water
District will insure these urns will not increase the water usage required to
operate the property.

First, the Enterprise Land Use Plan has designated the property as
Commercial Neighborhood, which would make C-1 zoning a conforming district. Second, the applicant has pulled building
permits which make the second Current Planning bullet unnecessary.

23. ZC-0592-09 – WARTHEN, RUSSEL E. AND DEBELLIS FAMILY, LP:
TAB APPROVE 4-1 a zone change to CP – Office
Professional. No plans were submitted.
HOLDOVER
The TAB is very reluctant to approve a
permanent zone change without plans.
There are two reasons for this, first is the project design and uses
reviewed with the zone change together allows a better determination of the zone
district required. Second, over time,
the market may determine a different land use around the property. Then the previously
granted zone district is no longer appropriate. However, the land owner has the
right to build a project that no longer fits in the area. If the land owner has expectations that do
not match market, the land remains vacant.
The TAB has consistently recommended a zone
district lower than the maximum allowed or a resolution of intent be placed on
the property when a design review is not presented.
There
were major land use changes to this area in the recent Enterprise Land Use Plan
Update. Just to the west of this request,
hundreds of acres that were residential became Business Design Research Park
(BDRP) because the land is deed restricted.
The deed restrictions prevent residential development. This means current commercial land east of
the BDRP uses may become residential as the market determines land uses in the
area. Another fact is the Frias family has purchased substantial amounts of property
in the area. Their objective is to
preserve the large lot/ranch life style in the area. Their representative objected to this
request.
