The western half of the property is about to change ownership.  There was an extensive public discussion on the Design Review during the original application hearings.   The TAB position is a public hearing for any significant design review changes would allow concerned residents to express their opinion on any new designs.

 

5.      ZC-1364-06 (WC-0089-10) – BLUE DIAMOND SOUTHEAST CORNER & DURANGO ROCK, LLC:

TAB APPROVED per Staff conditions

Recommend the traffic study address the left turn from the property as a potential safety hazard.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change requiring construction of full off-sites in conjunction with an approved shopping center on 4.3 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Durango Drive within Enterprise.  SB/mc/dr

 

The applicant states that APN 176-21-201-013 (east parcel) will be developed prior to the adjacent parcel 176-21-201-012 (west parcel), and requests to defer the required off-site improvements until 176-21-201-012 (west parcel) is developed. Also, according to the applicant, the project will now be developed in 2 phases by 2 separate developers.

 

The developer on the eastern property is moving forward with a convenience store.  This convenience store will have two entrances:   one on Blue Diamond and the other on Durango.  The following factors impact the traffic hazard for this intersection.

 

·   History has demonstrated this intersection is deadly without proper traffic control.

·   Durango is a heavily traveled road.

o     One lane north/southbound adjacent to this property has frequent traffic backups.

o     No left turn lane; left turn would block southbound traffic.

o     A left turn into the applicant’s property would be difficult to northbound traffic on Durango.

·   Blue Diamond is major arterial

o     No identified plans to improve Blue Diamond east of the intersection

o     No centerline barrier east of the intersection

o     No provision for left turn into applicant’s property.

o     The left turn on exit would expose a vehicle to oncoming eastbound traffic.

 

The TAB discussion focused on the left turn traffic hazard.  This hazard is created by a left turn into or out of either exit.  The left turn to go westbound on Blue Diamond could be particularly dangerous.  A similar situation, with numerous accidents, existed on the northwest corner of Blue Diamond and Rainbow until the intersection was improved.

 

The Board did not agree with a condition for right-in, right-out with a centerline barrier.  The right-in and right-out would match the road configuration established by NDOT and Clark County Public Works along Blue Diamond and Rainbow.  This configuration has eliminated many of the accidents that were caused by left turns not at an intersection.  Instead, the TAB recommended that the traffic study look at the hazard created by the left turn out of the property.  The problem with this recommendation is the traffic study is done by the applicant’s traffic engineer.
