PUBLIC COMMENTS: 

1. Capovilla west of Polaris is not paved.  This should have been included in the PM-10 paving done in the area several years ago.

2. The lighting on the northeast corner of Warm Springs and Gilespie is very distracting.

  1.         VS-0328-05 (ET-0232-07) – KARLI, BRUCE & DONNA:   TAB Approved

VACATE AND ABANDON FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME for easements of interest to Clark County located between Agate Avenue and Oleta Avenue, and between Westwind Road and Lindell Road (alignment), and a portion of right-of-way being Agate Avenue located between Westwind Street and Lindell Road (alignment) in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone within Enterprise (description on file). 

Converting Agate into a private road was part of deal cut with Richmond American when they created a Planned Unit Development north of Agate.  The purpose was the reduction of traffic along the northern border of the RNP.  Richmond American did complete the vacation on their half of Agate west of Westwind, but did not record the eastern half of the vacation.  PC item 5: consent agenda

  1.         UC-0884-07 – NEVADA POWER COMPANY & USA:   TAB Approved

USE PERMIT for the expansion of an existing electrical substation on 57.3 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone. Generally located on the south side of Le Baron Avenue (alignment), 270 feet east of Lindell Road within Enterprise. 

This is an extension of the current electrical substation.  The TAB request NV Power place signs around the property to inform potential home owners of the expansion plans and look into using insulators that reduce the noise associated with the site.  PC item 8: consent agenda

  1.         UC-0915-07 – MILANO RESIDENCES, LLC ET AL:   TAB Approved

USE PERMIT for a planned unit development consisting of residential condominium units.

DESIGN REVIEW for a planned unit development on 3.4 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone. Generally located on the northeast corner of Cactus Avenue and Bermuda Road within Enterprise. 

This request relocated parking for the project.  All other aspects of the project remained the same.    PC item 10: consent agenda

  1.         UC-0920-07 – GROVER, JEFFERY P.:   TAB Approved

USE PERMIT to increase the size of an accessory apartment on 1.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) (AE-65) Zone. Generally located on the west side of Polaris Avenue, 150 feet north of Capovilla Avenue within Enterprise.         

The plans depict a proposed 232 square foot addition to an existing 1,496 square foot accessory apartment bringing the total to 1,728 square feet. Title 30 states that an accessory apartment cannot be over 1,500 square feet without the approval of a use permit.  PC item 11: consent agenda

  1.         UC-0931-07 – HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH & HUONG THI LE:   TAB Held until 26 Sep 2007 meeting

USE PERMIT for a place of worship.

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow attached sidewalks where detached sidewalks are required.

DESIGN REVIEW for a place of worship on 7.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the northwest corner of Gilespie Street and Pebble Road within Enterprise. 

This was the most contentious item of the night.  There was significant opposition to the church use permit expansion.  Two things that must be understood about this request:

1. A Place of Worship is allowed in any zoning district with a Use Permit. 
2. There is no zone change with this request.  The zone district remains RNP-1.

There was a lot of discussion of how the zone change was illegal.  This demonstrated a lack of understanding about the land use plan and wasted a lot of time.

The real issue in this application is the future planed church expansion and the impact it will have on the RNP residents.  The pastor stated they are looking for additional land.  This church could become a very high intensity use within the RNP.  The purpose of the RNP is to provide a place for low intensity residential use.  The church objectives are directly opposed to the residents.   The item was held until 28 September to allow for a neighborhood meeting before returning to the TAB.  PC item 12: consent agenda.  Should be Held at PC. 

  1.         VS-0881-07 – MAJESTIC ENTERPRISE HOLDINGS:   TAB Approved

When the Silverton Casino rerouted Dean Martin a small portion of the old roadway was omitted from previous abandonment application.  PC item 17: consent agenda

                                                       

  1.         VS-0882-07 – WHC, LLC:   TAB Approved

HOLDOVER WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the rear setback for an addition to a single family residence on 0.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the southwest corner of Velvet Crest Lane and Sedalia Street within Enterprise.  PC item 22: consent agenda.  Should be returned to the TAB.

  1.         WS-0883-07 – FALAHI. EMRON & WENDY:   Held for 12 Sep TAB meeting per applicant request

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the separation between an accessory structure and the principal structure in conjunction with a single family residence on 1.2 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the east side of Placid Street, 275 feet south of Windmill Lane within Enterprise. 

This application is about making an existing structure legal under the county code.  The original project was built without a building permit and is too close to the main house.  A new project that was being built with the correct permits found the problem.  The applicant is talking to the county staff about possible fixes.  PC item 29: should be Held.

  1.         WS-0904-07 – MARTINEZ. LOUIS:   Held until 12 Sept TAB per applicant request

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

1) reduce side yard setbacks for a decorative water feature; and
2) increase the height of a decorative water feature

 associated with a swimming pool on 0.1 acres in a RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone. Generally located on the south side of Floating Flower Avenue, 95 feet east of Gentle Grazer Street within Enterprise. 

The plans depict an 8 foot 7 inch tall water slide to be utilized in conjunction with an existing swimming pool. The water slide is located 2 feet from the western property line. Title 30 states that water features associated with a swimming pool can encroach into the setback as long as the water feature conforms to the maximum wall height (6 ft) for the zoning district.  The TAB requested consent letters be obtained from the two adjacent neighbors due to the height of the slide.  PC item 24: consent agenda.  Should be Held at PC.

  1.         WS-0921-07 – FRANCIS DEVELOPMENT. INC:   TAB Denied: Waiver of development Standard  # 1 and Design review:  Approved   Waiver of Development Standard # 2

       

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

1) reduced setbacks; and
2) alternative landscape standards.

DESIGN REVIEW for office/warehouse buildings with manager’s units on 1.2 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-65) Zone. Generally located on the northeast corner of Arby Avenue (alignment) and Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise.

The parcel for this project is left over from the I-215 right-of -way.  As a result, it is an odd- shaped piece.  This is a very nicely designed project.  The TAB concern was the zero setback from the I-215 on ramp.  Any expansion of the on ramp might require a retaining wall or additional property to be acquired by NDOT.  This is an example of a good-looking project that could have a future adverse impact on Enterprise.  PC item 25: consent agenda

  1.         WT-0903-07 – SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION:   TAB Approved

WAIVER to reduce street width in conjunction with a single family residential subdivision on a portion of 29.3 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone and a P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community. Generally located on the north side of Golf Estates Drive (alignment) and the west side of Augusta National Drive within Enterprise.  PC item 26: consent agenda

  1.         ZC-0855-07 – ASHLAND ST ROSE. LLC & SILVERADO COURT 3. INC:   TAB Approved : Zone Change Denied : Use Permits # 1 and # 2; Design Review

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 3.5 acre portions of parcels from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone and C-2 (General Commercial) Zone to U-V (Urban Village - Mixed Use) Zone for a mixed-use development in the MUD-3 Overlay District.

USE PERMITS for the following:

1) increase building height; and ( to 86 ft were 55 ft is permitted)
2) reduce the residential proximity standard.  (to 40 ft where 256 ft is required)

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a mixed-use project including residential, retail uses, and required open space. Generally located on the northwest corner of St. Rose Parkway and Maryland Parkway within Enterprise (description on file). 

The project consists of one, 86 foot high building with 108 residential units (approximately 108,000 sq ft) at a density of 31.2 units per acre. The commercial element includes; 1,756 square feet of tavern/bar space, 2,300 square feet of restaurant space, and 4,905 square feet of retail space (total retail 8961 sq ft or 8.2% of the project).  The property owner has developed a convenience store and gas station on the eastern part of this property.

The TAB felt this is another example of the MUD being used to create a high density housing project without sufficient commercial/retail to meet the objectives of the MUD.   The lack of commercial/retail only adds to the vehicular traffic instead of reducing it.  Also the requested residential offset was too large.

There was a question of legal access to the property raised by the property owner to the west.  The TAB attached a condition to the zone change for legal access to be established for the project.  PC item 31, Consent.
