Results of Enterprise Town Advisory Board
Date: May 9, 2007
Public Comment:
Follow up: The intersection of Gillespie and George Crockett Rd. was brought up as a very hazardous intersection caused by the opening of the new McCarran rental car center. Airport will be installing traffic signals at both intersections of Gillespie and the 215 frontage roads by mid-August. Both intersections now have a four way stop as a temporary fix.

1. DR-0272-07 — S & MM INVESTMENTS: TAB Held for two weeks. Item 4 on the PC agenda: should be held.
DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed warehouse/office building on 0.7 acres in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zone. Generally located on the north side of Richmar Avenue, 1,300 feet east of Redwood Street within Enterprise. This item is an example of poor staff work. The area around this site is an industrial area in which the roads are paved. However, there are no street lights, side walks or curbs. The applicant was told to ask the TAB for a recommendation to reduce the required off site improvements: no street lights or side walks. These items should be submitted as a waiver with the Design Review. The staff write-up also called for the landscape to be the same as currently on Richmar. There is none. This raises the question of how familiar the planner working the project is with the area.
2. UC-0334-07 — PIONEER DEVELOPMENT GROUP, LLC: TAB Approved: per staff conditions: Vote 3 to 1. Item 8 on the PC agenda.
USE PERMIT for a massage establishment in conjunction with an existing shopping center on 5.0 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone. Generally located on the east side of Bermuda Road and the south side of Silverado Ranch Boulevard within Enterprise. This type of establishment raises the questions about the true nature of the business. It is almost impossible to tell the good from bad at this stage in the process. The county is currently discussing how to improve the follow-on review process to present a more accurate picture of the establishment. One of the items that should be included follow on reviews is a summary of the police reports including arrest. Currently, only the serious convictions are reported. The staff conditions included a 1 year review.
3. UC-0337-07 — SILVER CREEK I, LLC: TAB Approved. Item 10 on the PC agenda.
USE PERMIT for a truck rental facility in conjunction with an existing mini-warehouse facility on 4.0 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone. Generally located on the west side of Tenaya Way, 150 feet south of Warm Springs Road within Enterprise.
4. UC-0346-07 — BRUNNER 1985 TRUST, ET AL: TAB Approved: The condition of approval was that the zoning administrator has to determine the correct ratio of parking to project square footage. Item 11 on the PC agenda.
USE PERMIT for a recreational facility in conjunction with an existing office warehouse complex on 0.5 acres in an M
5. UC-0352-07 — DEFESTA, AYSHA: TAB Denied. Item 12 on the PC agenda.
USE PERMIT for an increase in height of an existing communications tower.
DESIGN REVIEW for a communications tower on a portion of 1.9 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone. Generally located on the southwest corner of Windmill Lane and Fairfield Avenue within Enterprise. The request is to increase the tower from 73.9 feet to 92.1 feet; where, 80 feet is the standard. The tower currently carries five cell providers. There are three additional providers who want to enter the Las Vegas market. The TAB felt the current tower is an eyesore and is too tall for the neighborhood. It was also brought out that the current antennas reflect light into the homes south of the tower. The question is how high the tower could grow in the future. The addition is not required to improve cell coverage only to add more carriers.
6. UC-0364-07 - REAL EQUITIES, LLC: TAB Approved: per staff conditions and no patron access through the back door. Item 13 on the PC agenda.
USE PERMIT for reduced setback from a residential use on a separate property in conjunction with a proposed on-premise consumption of alcohol establishment (tavern) within an existing shopping center on a portion 28.7 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone in the MUD-1 Overlay District. Generally located on northwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard South and Serene Avenue within Enterprise. One business formerly located in the Stardust is relocating. This establishment will be a western- themed bar. One TAB concern is the type of businesses locating in the former outlet mall at this location. It may be better to look for a new use of the property.
7. VS-0341-07 — RAINBOW MAULS, LLC: TAB Approved. Item 16 on the PC agenda.
VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of right-of-way being Rainbow Boulevard located between Maule Avenue (alignment) and Badura Avenue (alignment) in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-3 and CMA Design Overlay Districts within Enterprise (description on file). Vacation is for a detached sidewalk.
8. VS-0380-07 — MOUNTAIN'S EDGE: TAB Approved: companion item # 11. Item 26 on the PC agenda.
VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Mountains Edge Parkway and Haleh Avenue, and between Riley Street and El Capitan Way, and a portion of right-of-way being Haleh Avenue located between El Capitan Way and Riley Street, and a portion of right-of-way being Juliano Street between Haleh Avenue and Mountains Edge Parkway, and a portion of right-of-way being Riley Road between Mountains Edge Parkway and Haleh Avenue, and a portion of right-of-way being Mountains Edge Parkway between El Capitan Way and Haleh Avenue, and a portion of El Capitan Way between Haleh Avenue and Mountains Edge Parkway in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone in the Mountain's Edge Master Planned Community within Enterprise.
9. WS-0348-07 — JULIANO HOLDINGS CO., LLC: TAB Approved. Item 21 on the PC agenda.
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow fill in excess of 18 inches in conjunction with the grading of an approved single family residential subdivision on portions of 3.7 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone. Generally located on the north side of Ford Avenue (alignment) 650 feet west of Riley Street within Enterprise. The drainage plan will result in 5.9 feet of fill along Juliano. It will be interesting to see how much fill is required on the next property to the east.
10. WS-0369-07 — DESERT CREST HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION: TAB approved. Item 24 on the PC agenda.
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for non-standard street improvements within a private street on a portion of 23.0 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone. Generally located on the south side of Pebble Road, 650 feet east of El Capitan Way within Enterprise. The HOA replaced the asphalt with brick pavers. The county requires a waiver for the pavers. One question raised is how much the pavers raised the noise level, no answer.
11. ZC-0332-07 — MOUNTAIN'S EDGE, LLC: TAB Approved: zone change; Use permit for street width and setbacks: TAB Denied Reduced lot size. Item 25 on the PC agenda. We will probably have to appeal this one.
ZONE CHANGE to reclassify an approximate 20.0 acre site from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone, R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone, and R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone.
USE PERMIT to modify residential development standards in conjunction with a single family development within the Mountain's Edge Master Planned Community. Generally located on the southeast corner of Mountains Edge Parkway and El Capitan Way within Enterprise. The zone change is a result of the developer purchasing an out parcel (a piece of land within the master plan boundaries but owned by a private party and not subject to master plan conditions). The requirement for the buffer to this property is no longer required and can be rezoned. This results in a more consistent development within the master plan. The objection to the lot size is that every project is requesting a reduced lot size to pack in more homes. When the master plan establishes a minimum lot size, it follows that the standard should be maintained or the master plan does not mean much.
05/16/07 BCC
12. UC-0277-05 (ET-0074-07) — WINDMILL GILES, LLC: TAB approved. Item 7 on the BCC agenda. It should be noted that the Notice of Final Action (NOFA) on the original application limits the building height to 65" due to its proximity to residential uses.
.
HOLDOVER DESIGN REVIEW FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence the following: 1) hotel and architectural elements; and 2) increase the height to 105 feet on 3.0 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District. Generally located on the northeast corner of Windmill Lane and Giles Street within Enterprise. The developer is having trouble raising the necessary finances for the project.
13. ZC-0460-05 (ET-0096-07) — WINGATE AIRPORT SOUTH, LLC: TAB Approved. Item 14 on the BCC agenda.
ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 2.9 acres from C-P (Office & Professional) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) Zone for a hotel with all associated accessory and incidental uses. Generally located on the south side of Warm Springs Road, 300 feet west of Bermuda Road within Enterprise. This project is about to start construction. When the project was first proposed it was vigorously opposed by the residents. A poor decision by a former county commissioner allowed the project to proceed. This project is an example of spot zoning and its bad effects.
Items 14 through 19 were considered together. TAB Approved. Items 33 through 37 on the BCC agenda. Per staff with one condition that full off sites be deferred one year. The requests were necessitated by the alignment of Las Vegas Blvd. In short, LV Blvd is not located on the section line where it should be. This is a problem all along the southern section of LV Blvd. The original approvals specified working with NDOT on roads and right of way items. The county has replaced NDOT as the agency responsible for LV Blvd. This requires a rewording of the original approvals.
One of the problems with these items is the civil engineering conditions are in a state of flux which makes it difficult to make a recommendation. This resulted in one TAB member abstaining on the decision.
