REGULAR BUSINESS

1.  Approve the Agenda with any corrections, deletions or changes    Approved

2.  Approve the Minutes for the meeting held on May 10, 2011 Approved

3.  Approve the Minutes for the meeting held on May 11, 2011 Approved

4.  Receive a report from Nancy Lipski, Director, Clark County Comprehensive Planning, on Application Time Limits, Commencement and Studies.

 

The Board of County Commissioners has directed the planning staff to look at possible changes to Application Time Limits, Commencement and Engineering Studies.  The interested parties in the industry have been consulted and their concerns noted.  To date, the Director has reported her findings to 9 TABs/CACs and will visit the other 10.  The TABs/CACs have provided input to the Director.  Later this summer, a report will be given to the BCC.  A summary follows:

 

Industry position:

·   There is general opposition to advanced engineering studies.

·   The developers do not want the expense of engineering studies prior to entitlements being granted on the property.

·   Lending institutions are unwilling to lend money prior to entitlements being granted.

 

TAB/CAC positions:

·   There is no unified position among the TABs/CACs.

·   Some TABs/CACs see no need for change.

·   Some TABs/CACs would prefer engineering studies with the land use application.

·   Some TABs/CACs would like to use a project progress measurement as a commence standard.

 

Discussion:

·   Hard to establish a realistic commence point.

o        Using building permits does not guarantee progress on a project

o        Good for two years and can be renewed

·   One TAB suggested an annual progress review

o        Establish a progress measure on percentage of completion.

o        Could overload the TABs in the next upturn

·   The TABs/CACs and other decision makers may find engineering studies helpful in making valid recommendations

o        The minimum would be a preliminary grading study to determine fill and building placement.

o        Suggestion of a minimum threshold of grading change that can occur.

·   Traffic study is of secondary importance.

·   Extension of time conditions

o        Is defined in Title 30 and can be changed by the BCC

o        The second extension of time should have more stringent criteria and justification since circumstances have almost always changed.

o        Allow project termination without sufficient progress.

HOLDOVER APPLICATIONS

This application has been on the TAB agenda since January 26, 2011 and is being held for the fifth time.  The TAB requests the Planning Commission require this applicant to re-notify if an additional hold is requested.  The notification should be at the applicant’s expense.  The TAB concern is the length of time since the original notification and the number of holds could hinder public input.
