The
Clark County Comprehensive Planning Department, effective January 2010, will no
longer send out expiration letters notifying our customers when their
applications are going to expire. This service was provided as a courtesy,
however with the current economic conditions coupled with budget shortfalls, it
has been determined that we can no longer provide this service.

There are indications that this establishment
may have problems. The Clark County
Public Response Office has not received any complaints for this business. However,
the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has reported that in July 2008, a
therapist was arrested for soliciting and the charge was denied for lack of
prosecutorial resources and in April 2009 another therapist was arrested for
soliciting and that case was dismissed. Allegations
are not sufficient to revoke the Use Permit.
The applicant made a plea to keep the hours the same. Any further allegations should result in the
reduction of hours. There is a one year
review on the application. PC agenda item # 30

This is a well designed facility. The TAB discussion centered on the type of
landscape buffer planned for the residents to the north. The applicant proposes a standard residential
buffer with a single row of trees. The
residents want an intense landscape buffer with a double row of trees. The TAB felt that a compromise could be
worked out between the residents and Cox prior to the PC meeting. The only other question is when the emergency
generator is tested. Cox assured the TAB
their testing is done during daylight hours. PC routine action item agenda item # 9

permits to increase building height next to residential property. In this case, the applicant could build the
project with the current C-2 zone district with the same height as requested. The TAB discussion focused on limiting the
impact to the resident to the west.
There was not a clear presentation of lighting and signage which
resulted in the condition for a design review as a public hearing on those
items. The other two conditions are
designed to reduce the noise and traffic on the west side of the project. PC agenda item # 36

This is a well-designed project which helps
buffer the residents to the north and east.
The TAB added two conditions for additional protection of the nearby
residences. The emergency exits will
help keep people from congregating next to the residences. The lighting condition is to prevent the gas
canopy light source from being visible for a long distance. The area along Rainbow has good and bad
examples of gas canopy lighting. This is
an area that needs to be addressed in Title 30 rather than being added as a
condition for each project.
The Southern
Nevada Health District (SNHD)
requires a commercial septic system for this site. Therefore, the applicant must apply for a
commercial septic system permit. The
septic system was not planned into the shopping center layout. If the applicant cannot hook up to sewer, the
site plan will have to come back to the TAB as a new Design Review. BCC routine action item agenda item # 17

·
Reduce the front setback to 30 feet where a minimum setback of
40 feet is required (a 25% reduction).
·
Reduce the side setback, on one side only, to 5 feet where a
minimum setback of 10 feet is required (a 50% reduction).
·
Reduce the rear setback to the principal structure and an
accessory structure to 20 feet and zero feet, respectively, where a minimum
setback of 30 feet and 5 feet is required (a 33% reduction and 100% reduction,
respectively).
One question presented at the TAB was why so
many waivers are required when the homes were designed by Harmony. No answer was given.
The applicant was required to build six
single-story homes adjacent to existing single-story homes. Placement of additional single-story homes
was discussed. Several of the residents present
had no objection to two-story homes next to their property. As a result, some plots were removed from the
discussion. The TAB felt the two
northeast lots needed to be single-story because the fill in that area will
significantly raise these homes above the residences to the east. The applicant agrees with this condition. BCC agenda item # 26

This
is a very controversial item. The
applicant wants a zone change to light manufacturing and to extend the current
warehouse east of the parcel. The
residents are opposed to this project. They feel the project does not fit into
a residential area.
The applicant has made some changes to the
first design presented. These changes
are based on discussions with SWAN after the neighborhood meeting. However, these changes did not significantly
alter use, size or bulk of the project.
It should be noted the original warehouse buildings to the east were opposed
by the TAB as being too intense for the neighborhood.
The TAB felt this project would be detrimental
to the established residential neighborhood.
