ZONING AGENDA:

         SEE HOLDOVER APPLICATIONS and ATTACHMENT A

 

PUBLIC COMMENTS

One TAB member requested Public Works provide a briefing on Special Improvement District (SID) # 142.  A number of property owners along Blue Diamond and Rainbow pay into this SID, yet Public Works is requiring the property owner to install full off sites.  This may mean the property owner is paying twice for the off sites.

 

NEXT MEETING DATE:  August 31, 2011

 

HOLDOVER APPLICATIONS

 

08/17/11 BCC

 

H-1.  WS-0292-11 – VALDEZ FAMILY TRUST:

APPROVED Per Staff Conditions

ADD Public Works Conditions:

·               The bond to be replaced with a restricted covenant.

·               Torino Ave and Pioneer Way to be developed as a “Paved Access Road” using ROAD DESIGN STANDARDS FOR NON-URBAN ROADWAYS, January , 2001

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to appeal an administrative denial of an extension of time application for an off-site permit in conjunction with a 2 lot parcel map on 1.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Pioneer Way and Torino Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/co/xx  (For possible action)

 

The TAB considered the following:

·   This area is not significantly developed

·   Development is likely years away

·   The road work has been bonded for several years by the property owner.

·   A restricted covenant would accomplish the same purpose.

·   Pioneer Way and Torino Ave are 1/8 section line roads and will be used for local traffic

 

It is highly unusual for a small property within a RNP-1 to be required to post a bond for off sites.  The norm is a restricted covenant used to ensure the roads are completed.  The bond is a financial burden for the property owner especially if the property will not be developed immediately.  The TAB approved this application with the condition to convert from a bond to a restricted covenant.  This will allow the property owner to maintain the sub division without an undo financial burden.

 

 

ATTACHMENT A

 

08/16/11 PC

 

1.      VS-0310-11 - TOWN & COUNTRY BANK, ET AL:

APPROVED Per Staff Conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Blue Diamond Road and Mackanos Avenue (alignment), and between Quarterhorse Lane and Fort Apache Road in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone, a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone, and an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/dg/ed  (For possible action)

 

One interesting point is the requirement for Quarterhorse Lane to end in a cul-de-sac.  The intent is to limit access to Blue Diamond as a safety factor. 

 

09/06/11 PC

 

2.      UC-0557-09 (ET-0064-11) – VITRUVIAN PROPERTIES, LLC:

APPROVED Per Current Planning Conditions

 

USE PERMIT SECOND EXTENSION OF TIME to complete and review a recreational facility for private conventions and receptions.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduced parking;

2) Allow commercial access from local residential streets (Rush Avenue and Schirlls Street); and

3) Reduced access gate setback

 

on 1.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Rush Avenue and Schirlls Street within Enterprise.  SB/co/ml  (For possible action)

 

The applicant has made the following progress:

·   The commercial water permit has been obtained.

·   The septic system will be abandoned.

·   Plans are being submitted for sewer connection.

·   The sewer connection work will be bonded.

·   Has resolved the conflict that prevented submission of construction plans

·   With plans approval, the construction can move forward to obtain building permits.

 

The TAB viewed compliance with Southern Nevada Health District requirement for a commercial septic as a critical factor in this application. The statement that the applicant will connect to sewer convinced the TAB that sufficient progress is being made to warrant a six month extension.  The applicant estimates the work to complete all compliance items and obtain a business license will take about a year.  The TAB desires a progress report after the first of the year to ensure work to obtain a business license is proceeding.

 

3.      UC-0318-11 – NAMAZ, LLC:

APPROVED Per Staff Conditions

DENY Waiver of Development Standards

ADD Current Planning Conditions:

·         Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

·         Design Review as a public hearing for significant changes to plans

Change Public Works Condition#3:

·         Construct full off sites on Tenaya Way and Belcastro St

·         Blue Diamond off sites are covered under SID #142

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) Retail sales and services;

2) Convenience store with gasoline sales;

3) Alcohol sales - packaged (liquor, beer and wine); and

4) On-premise consumption of alcohol (service bar) in conjunction with a restaurant.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS allow alternative street and parking lot landscaping.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a future commercial retail development on 3.7 acres in an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Tenaya Way within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB considered the proposed uses appropriate for property that fronts Blue Diamond Road.  The TAB agreed with the staff that the landscaping should follow County code.  This is the reason for denial of the Waiver of Development Standards. 

 

The TAB recommended several conditions.  First, lighting and signage were not part of the Design Review.  The condition was added for a public hearing on these items.  Second, there are some speculative aspects in this application.  A public hearing for significant changes to plans is appropriate to protect the RNP-1 to the south and ensure any changes are compatible with the neighborhood.

 

One very significant issue revealed by this application is what off sites are provided by SID #142. The applicant is paying into SID #142.  There are several questions that need to be answered:

 

·   What off sites are covered by SID #142?

·   Has the property owner met his/her responsibility for off sites by participating in the SID #142.

·   Can the County require a property owner to put in off sites covered by a SID?

·   Have the off sites covered by the SID #142 been reduced by county actions?

o     If so, does financial responsibility shift to the land owner, County or State?

 

The TAB cannot recommend a property owner pay for the off sites twice.

 

Property owners along Blue Diamond and Rainbow are paying into the SID.  Yet, do not have the infrastructure to proceed with their projects.  The incomplete SID along Blue Diamond and Rainbow is a significant detriment to commercial development along these thoroughfares. 

 

4.      UC-0327-11 – SILVER STATE BERMUDA EQUITY, LTD:

APPROVED Per Current Planning Conditions

 

USE PERMIT for a photography studio in conjunction with an existing office/warehouse facility on 1.7 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Bermuda Road, 270 feet north of Warm Springs Road within Enterprise.  ss/pb/ml  (For possible action)

 

5.      UC-0336-11 – DIAMOND WARM SPRINGS, LLC:

APPROVED Per Staff Conditions

 

USE PERMIT to allow a health club.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce parking for an existing office/warehouse complex in conjunction with a proposed health club on 9.0 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-65) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Dean Martin Drive and Eldorado Lane within Enterprise.  SS/mc/ml  (For possible action)

        

6.      UC-0337-11 – DIAMOND WARM SPRINGS, LLC:

APPROVED Per Staff Conditions

ADD Current Planning condition:

·         If the Church initiates large scale weekday activities, they are required to submit a new Waiver of Development Standards for parking.

 

USE PERMIT to allow a place of worship.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce parking for an existing office/warehouse complex in conjunction with a proposed place of worship on 9.0 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-65) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Dean Martin Drive and Eldorado Lane within Enterprise.  SS/mc/ml  (For possible action)

 

The church’s primary activity is on Sunday, which should not impact the other tenants.  If the church expands their weekday activities with a large number of attendees, the parking for the other tenants could be affected.  Weekday activities were not part of this application.  The TAB recommended a condition be added to examine parking if there is a significant increase in church weekday activity.
