ATTACHMENT A

 

06/06/12 BCC

 

1.      DR-0200-12 – O'REILLY AUTOMOTIVE STORES, INC:

APPROVED per plans presented and staff conditions

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a freestanding sign and wall signs in conjunction with an approved auto parts store on a portion of 4.0 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone.  Generally located on the northwest corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Santoli Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/mk/ml  (For possible action)

 

The original plans show a 17.5 fool high, approximately 80 square foot double sided illuminated pole sign setback 20 feet from Santoli Avenue and15 feet from Rainbow Blvd. The plans were changed to a monument sign a day before the TAB meeting.  This change was encouraged by Commissioner Sisolak.

 

2.   ZC-0162-12 – VAC BARN, LLC, ET AL:

APPROVED

·  Zone change to C-1

ADD Current planning conditions:

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

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

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 1.4 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduce the height setback ratio from a residential use; and

2) Allow alternative landscaping.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for an office building.  Generally located on the east side of La Cienega Street and the north side of Arby Avenue (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  ss/pb/ml  (For possible action)

 

The plans show a 12,149 square foot office building on the western portion of the site and a 972 square foot storage building on the eastern portion. An outside storage area is located adjacent to the east property line and will accommodate three vehicles.

 

This area is changing from a Rural Preservation Neighborhood to a Business Design Research Park land uses.  It may be a number of years before all the residences have moved from this area.  The intent of the TAB is to protect the residential property owners while accommodating new businesses. The TAB questioned the need for the C-2 zone change and possibility for very intense land uses permitted in a C-2 zone district.

 

The applicant has designed the property for two tenants, a U.S. Department of Agriculture test facility and a survey business, both of these tenants can be accommodated in a C-1 zone district.  The applicant agreed to the TAB’s request to zone this property as C-1.  This will provide some protection for adjacent residents.

 

The after looking at the project plans the TAB agreed with both of the Waivers of Development Standards.  The reduction of the landscape to zero occurs at one south side corner and does not significantly affect the surround property.

 

The TAB recommended a Design Review for lighting and signage that were not part of this application.  Also, recommended is a Design Review for significant change to plans.  Both recommendations are to help protect the remaining area residents.

3.      UC-0193-12 – JWS VENTURE, LLC:

APPROVED

CHANGE Current Planning bullets as follows:

·  Bullet #1 to read: 7 months to commence and review as a public hearing

·  Bullet #2 strike

 

USE PERMIT for a food cart/booth (shaved ice) not located within an enclosed building in conjunction with a convenience store on 1.1 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Warm Springs Road and Jones Boulevard within Enterprise.  SS/mk/ml (For possible action)

 

This application generated discussion in two areas.  First, is this use permit appropriate for this location?  Second, accessory uses proliferation beyond the property original approvals.

 

This is a seasonal small business.  The food cart/booth is a 44 square foot self-contained trailer and the operator will stand inside the trailer to prepare and sell the shaved ice. 

 

TAB determined the booth current location is the best available on the property.  The north side of the convenience store is handicap parking and there for is not suitable.  Placement in front of the convenience store could result in traffic congestion and pedestrian safety problems.

 

The applicant desires to have this use permit reviewed well before the next summer season.  This will allow plans to be adjusted in time for next season.  The TAB recommended the shorter review time to accommodate the applicant’s request.

 

The second item is not part of this application.  It is a concern that exterior accessory uses are being added to business without a coordinated County policy.  The factors considered by the TAB are:

 

·  The does the exterior accessory uses add or subtract from the Design Review approved for the property.

·  How may are allowed

·  For what period of time

·  What are the vehicles and pedestrian safety requirement?

·  What are the Design Standards

 

The TAB should make this an agenda item and forward a recommendation to the County Commissioners.

 

4.      VS-0192-12 – VITRUVIAN PROPERTIES, LLC:

APPROVED per staff recommendations

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Rush Avenue and Cactus Avenue, and between Arville Street and Schirlls Street in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/co/ed  (For possible action)

 

06/20/12 BCC

 

5.   DR-0201-12 – GMD FOOD, LLC:

DENIED

DESIGN REVIEW for a fast food restaurant with drive-thru and a retail development on 0.8 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Maryland Parkway, 180 feet south of Pyle Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/mk/xx  (For possible action)

 

This application was denied because the applicant was not able to provide information on grading and was not willing hold the application to bring a preliminary grading plan to the TAB.

 

Factors affecting this property:

·  This property has a significant elevation change, up to 6 ft.

·  The grading will add or remove a significant amount of soil

·  The final finished floor elevation will affect how the Design Review and traffic flows are evaluated

·  The TAB is looking at the traffic flows and cross access for all four properties on this corner

·  The applicant representative was not aware of how their design would affect the other properties

·  Applicant stated we do not have room for a ramp in our design.

·  Is additional retaining wall needed?

·  How does the design effect on the adjacent residential

 

There was very little discussion of the actual design because that applicant was not able to answer the grading question.  The applicant opinion is this design meets all County standards and should be approved.  The grading question can be settled after the design is approved.  However, there was little concern by applicant over how the design affected surrounding residential and commercial property.  The applicant’s representation did not agree with the TAB’s view that all commercial in this location needs to be looked at as a unit. 

 

Without grading information, the TAB could not determine how the design affects surrounding property. 

 

Signage, lighting, building design and traffic flows on the property were not thoroughly discussed.

 

One course of action would be to require a preliminary grading plan and the design review to be sent back to the TAB for review.   This property is an excellent example of why a preliminary grading plan should accompany an application.
