VS-0434-10 - DAVIS FAMILY
TRUST 1993:
TAB DENIED Vacate and abandon is
premature. The development direction in
the area is unknown.
VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Levi

Boulevard South and Giles Street in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone
and a C-P (Office & Professional) Zone in the MUD-1 and MUD-4 Overlay
Districts within Enterprise (description on file). SS/ar/ed
The TAB examined the
following:
·
The developer has no approved or proposed design review.
·
The direction of development in the area has not been determined.
·
TAB experience shows premature vacation of potential
right-of-way produces traffic problems later.
·
The area between Las Vegas Blvd and I-15 is an example.
o A north/south frontage
road cannot be built without the county/state purchasing right-of-way they
vacated earlier.
This section of Las Vegas
Blvd has been severely affected by the economic downturn. All the projects proposed two to five years
ago have not come out of the ground in this area. The Davis Family Trust project
may not be practical in today’s environment.
The appropriate time for the vacation is in conjunction with a design
review. The market will determine how
the area develops. The vacation of
potential right-of-way must not be done at this time.
9. VS-0438-10 - TODARO, MARIA:
TAB APPROVED per Staff conditions
VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Eldorado

Street in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone within Enterprise
(description on file). SS/pb/ed
10. WS-0392-10 – SUNSET VIEW, LLC:
TAB APPROVED per Staff conditions
TAB ADDED to Current Planning Conditions:
·
Squawk boxes to be on east side of property facing Rainbow
·
Signage: Require Design Review as a Public Hearing
·
The applicant to prevent any adverse lighting impacts to adjacent
residential uses through several means. These methods include cutoff shields,
screens or baffles on all pole mounted lights. According to the manufacturer of
the community friendly pole mounted lights, all cutoff fixtures meet or exceed
the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America requirements for full
cutoff classification, thus reducing light trespass and glare.
·
The exterior building lighting will consist of custom and standard
wall sconces, recessed up-lights, and accent lighting. All lighting will be shielded or directed to
prevent light from shining onto adjacent residential uses
·
Floodlights, spotlights, or any other similar lighting shall not be
permitted to illuminate buildings facing existing or planned residences
·
No illuminated wall signage on any building elevation facing
existing or planned residences
·
Light poles not to exceed 15 ft total
height
TAB ADDED to Public Works conditions:
·
Recommend bus turnout be removed as a condition from ZC-0814-02
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow commercial access onto a local
residential street (Santoli Avenue).
DESIGN REVIEW for a retail center on 5.0 acres in a C-1 (Local Business)
Zone. Generally located on the northwest corner of Rainbow Boulevard and
Santoli Avenue within Enterprise. SS/tc/ed
This is a well-designed
project that moves away from the traditional inline retail. The plans depict a
retail center with a total of 21.790 square feet of area in 4 buildings, including
2 fast food restaurants with drive-thru windows, shown at the north end of the
site.
The Current Planning
conditions added by the TAB are to protect the residents to the west. Sound and lighting are two concerns the
conditions cover. The current county
lighting standards are not sufficient to protect adjacent residents.
The recommendation of
remove the bus stop was based upon the following:
·
There is no safe way for pedestrians to cross Rainbow near the
proposed bus stop.
·
RTC has a bus stop planned at Rainbow and Windmill.
·
The plans for Rainbow development were not in existence when the
condition was placed on the property.
·
The elimination of the bus stop would allow the applicant to
place their driveway at an optimal location for traffic flow.
11. ZC-0437-10 – TODARO, MARIA:
TAB APPROVED Zone Change to R-1 per Staff conditions
TAB DENIED Waivers of Development Standards
ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone
to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone for a single family residential
subdivision.
WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:
1) Reduce the off-set between street intersections; and
2) Reduce the off-set between a driveway
and a street intersection.
Generally
located on the south side of Eldorado Lane, 295 feet west of Torrey Pines Drive within Enterprise (description
on file). SS/pb/ed
The staff analysis of the
project was excellent and well supported.
It provided the TAB with the information it needed to make a
recommendation.
This is an infill project
on a parcel that was not sold to Richmond American when they developed the
area. This plan is an attempt by the
applicant to cram as many houses into the area as the code would allow with
little thought to how the project fits with the existing neighborhood.
The following from the
Enterprise Land Use Plan applies to this application.
“Final
approval of density will, in part, consider the subject site as well as
adjacent existing and planned land use densities and intensities. THE STATED
MAXIMUM DENSITIES AND INTENSITIES IN NO WAY OBLIGATE THE COUNTY TO APPROVE
DEVELOPMENTS AT A GIVEN DENSITY OR INTENSITY INCLUDING UP TO THE MAXIMUM. IT
SHALL BE THE OBLIGATION OF THE DEVELOPER TO SHOW, THROUGH SOUND LAND USE
PLANNING PRACTICES AND EXCEPTIONAL SITE AND BUILDING DESIGN, THAT APPROVAL OF A
DENSITY OR INTENSITY UP TO THE MAXIMUM IS WARRANTED.”
The TAB
did not see this standard being met by the applicant due to the following:
· No
planned open areas
· Beginning
of Curb Radius reduced to zero is a safety hazard
· Placement
of houses did not provide adequate buffer to adjacent existing residences
· 25 ft.
internal streets
· Lot
size not consistent with existing adjacent residences
The TAB
recommended the zone change to R-1 as more appropriate for the neighborhood when
the adjacent properties’ lot size and setbacks are considered. This project needs to be redesigned to better
fit in the neighborhood. The waivers of development standards could be reduced
or not needed with a well-planned project.
