The Good Samaritan Lutheran
Church and the neighbors are diametrically opposed. The Church does not see the
neighbors as part of its community. The
Church wants to use trailers for their school (currently not permitted). The neighbors want the trailers gone and no
school. The TAB has examined this
application over two meetings. The first
meeting ended with the TAB requesting a strategic plan for the property.
There are two elements
to this application. First is the use of trailers and their fit on the property. The second is if a school can be established
on the property without adversely affecting the neighborhood.
Four structures have
been placed on the property without building permits or land use approval. An
active zoning violation case (ZV -09-26806) has been opened regarding the
structures. The two modular trailers are former construction trailers. Good Samaritan intended to use these as
classroom space for two years. The Church felt it could start building permanent
classrooms in two years. The TAB
considered several factors in its decision.
·
Modular buildings are not compatible with the existing
buildings.
·
The commercial developer to the west is
opposed to the trailers.
·
The neighbors to the east are opposed to the
trailers.
·
The TAB did not agree with the state official
who stated the trailers are suitable classrooms.
·
The Church stated trailer use would be only for
two years. The TAB felt that once the
trailers were permitted they could end up being used for a much longer
period. It is very difficult to deny an
extension of time application.
The second element of
this application is the school. The TAB
is concerned the Church does not have a strategic plan of how all the proposed
activities will fit on the current property.
There is no additional property into which they can expand. The west is a deed-restricted commercial project. To the south is deed-restricted vacant
land. The Church presented a three-phase
plan of how they would grow into the site.
This plan has not been reviewed by staff or the neighborhood. The TAB considered the following factors.
·
The church is currently operating a school
(kindergarten) without permits.
o
Special use permit
o
Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) permit
·
The proposed school would be K-5 with
approximately 120 students.
·
The current day care building can accommodate
97 children.
·
The proposed school, current kindergarten and
day care are income producing commercial activities.
·
The sanctuary (not built) and additional parking
take up most of the available space.
·
The plan may meet the county minimum parking
standards.
o
The building uses have not been analyzed by
the county staff.
o
Experience indicates this facility is under-parked
and may congest the neighborhood streets.
o
Day care facility is used as a fellowship
hall/Sunday school. Is only parked as a day care.
·
The neighbors to the east are opposed to the
school due to the increased daily activity that 200+ children would generate in
a residential neighborhood.
·
TAB is concerned about the facilities’ ability
to accommodate 200+ children.
o
Very little outdoor play area is shown on the
three-phase plan.
o
The plan showed classrooms without restrooms,
storage and other facilities associated with a school.
Without a detailed
strategic plan, reviewed by the staff and neighborhood, the TAB was not willing
to approve a blanket use permit for a school.
The kindergarten currently in session is not dependent on using the
modular trailers. The TAB decided to
narrowly condition a school use permit to prevent disruption to the families
dependent on it.
Other factors
·
The developer to the west volunteered to help
with a site plan to migrate some of the effects on the neighborhood.
·
The suggestion was made that the church could
look for an alternative site for its school.
There are many vacant commercial spaces available.
·
Previous use permit conditions be complied
with.

WAIVER
OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for reduced setbacks for a proposed single family

This is a case where one developer has gone
out of business and another developer has purchased the unfinished lots. Here, the properties adjacent to hammerheads
have a reduced depth. The original
developer had requested and received reduced setbacks for the backyards. The new developer wants to further reduce the
setbacks.
The TAB agreed with the staff analysis and
recommendation that additional setback reductions are not good for the
neighborhood and could set a precedent for other developers. Reduced front and rear setbacks have been
consistently discouraged by the TAB. The
developer should find a house plan that fits within the current setback
reductions.

The applicant is a magician and illusionist
and the cats are used in his performances. The original application was
approved to allow a maximum of 15 large cats. The applicant states he has had
this permit to allow the large cats on the property for 14 years without any
incidents or complaints, except for one prank complaint.
The applicant requested a use permit without a
time limit. The TAB considered two
factors in its decision. First, the
applicant’s location has about a 50/50 mix of deed-restricted land and unrestricted
land. The developmental pattern for that
area is not apparent at this time. It
could go residential or commercial. The
TAB would like to see how the area develops before the use permit time limit is
removed.
Second, the TAB is reluctant to grant a use
permit without a review period. The use
permit runs with the property not the owner.
If the business is sold and the next operator is not as conscientious,
use permit revocation by the county is difficult.

following:

The Enterprise Land Use plan calls for a circulation pattern to
be established to reduce vehicle traffic.
The pedestrian access to the western residential area helps this
objective.
·
