HOLDOVER APPLICATIONS

 

12/04/12 PC

 

H-1.  UC-0615-12 – DANIEL G & M FAMILY, LP, ET AL:

A motion for approval with additional conditions failed (1 – 4)

DENIED (4 -1) with staff if approved conditions:

ADDED if approved Current Planning conditions

·   Intense land scape buffer required on the eastern boundary

·   A safety fence, 15 feet from any landscape buffer be constructed for all play areas.

 

USE PERMIT for a day care facility.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a day care facility including a playground area on 1.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Pebble Road, 200 feet east of Decatur Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB opinion is the applicant did not meet the standards for the special use permit in a residential area.  The primary concern was the location of the playground area adjacent to existing residential.  The TAB experience is this creates a noisy situation that becomes intolerable to the neighbors.  This opinion is based upon the testimony of residents over a number of years.  The applicant was not will to consider any mitigation beyond an intense landscape buffer.  This type of buffer is an excellent visual buffer, but does very little to reduce noise.

 

The granting of a special use permit should not create a situation that will degrade neighborhood.

 

The TAB added if approved conditions as a minor mitigation for the neighborhood.

 

12/05/12 BCC

 

H-2.  ZC-0614-12 – DALE, DANIEL:

APPROVED per staff conditions

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 0.6 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone for a future single family residential development.  Generally located on the south side of Pebble Road and the west side of Ullom Drive within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action)

 

This acreage is excess after the day care center plan was created by the applicant.  The TAB opinion is it would be better to move the day care center to the east side of the property.  This acreage would then be available for development with the property to the west.  The net effect would be additional acreage on the southeast corner of Decatur and Pebble.

 

The current plan will allow 6 R-2 lots along Ullom.  It may be difficult to develop this product type and small project size.  The applicant was not will to consider changes to their plans. 

 

The TAB did not favor this plan, however there is no legal reason to deny the application.

 

ATTACHMENT A

 

12/18/12 PC

 

1.      UC-0653-12 – HOUGH, RICK & GLORIA:

2) Increase the allowed area of an accessory building; and

3) Waive applicable design standards per Table 30.56-2.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce building separation between a detached garage and an existing residence on 0.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located 150 feet west of Lindell Road, and 300 feet south of Shelbourne Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/al/ml  (For possible action)

 

2.      UC-0676-12 – NV ENERGY:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT to operate a financial service on a portion of 32.0 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) Zone in the CMA Design Overlay District.  Generally located on the west side of Lindell Road, 1,000 feet north of Warm Springs Road within Enterprise.  SS/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

3.      WS-0663-12 – CANARELLI FAMILY LAND, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow a non-standard street improvement in the right-of-way (landscaped median) in conjunction with a proposed single family residential development on a portion of 4.4 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone in the MUD-3 and CMA Design Overlay Districts.  Generally located on the west side of Jones Boulevard, 600 feet south of Arby Avenue (alignment) within Enterprise.  SS/dg/ed  (For possible action)

 

4.      WS-0665-12 – PARDEE HOMES NEVADA:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to permit modified improvement standards (roll curb and gutter) in conjunction with an approved single family subdivision on 2.6 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Pebble Road and El Capitan Way within Enterprise.  sb/mk/ml  (For possible action)

 

12/19/12 BCC

 

5.      UC-2093-96 (ET-0138-12) – CAPSTONE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL:

APPROVED per staff conditions with the following change:

CHANGE Current Planning bullet #1 to read:

·   Until December 31, 2016 to complete the project:

 

USE PERMITS FOURTH EXTENSION OF TIME to complete the following:

 

1) A temporary batch plant; and

2) Additions to an existing temporary sand and gravel mining (gravel pit) operation including temporary associated equipment storage and stockpiling areas

 

All in conjunction with a previously approved, privately funded storm water detention basin and future construction projects.

 

VARIANCES for the following:

 

1) Permit a previously approved, privately funded, below-grade, storm water detention basin; and

2) Permit a temporary construction trailer on 58.8 acres in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone. 

 

Generally located on the east side of Amigo Street and the north side of Cactus Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/jt/ml  (For possible action)

 

This is a long term, temporary project.  It raises the question of how long is temporary.  Terminating this project is not practical until the detention basin and the fill is place for other approved projects on this property.  The operator estimated it will take 4 years to complete at the current work rate.  In addition, the applicant has regular meetings with the area resident to promote better relations.  Given these circumstance the TAB recommend the completion date be allowed for another 4 years.

 

6.      UC-0666-12 – RHODES RANCH, GP:

         APROVED per staff conditions

ADD Major Projects if approved condition:

·   Retaining and decorative wall to be constructed in accordance with Title 30 figure 30.64-1

 

USE PERMIT for modified residential development standards in conjunction with a single family subdivision.

 

WAIVERS for the following:

1) Allow modified street improvement standards; and

2) Allow final early grading

 

on an 18.1 acre portion of an overall 40.7 acre site in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community.  Generally located 475 feet east of Hidden Mountain Way, and 700 feet south of Augusta Course Avenue within Spring Valley and Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

This application is for the second wall segment of three.  If all three segments are completed as planned it will result in approximately 3000 foot long wall, 10 to 15 feet high with no landscaping or other features to break up the canyon effect.  This wall must be considered in its entire length not the individual parts to produce a uniform look acceptable to the public. 

 

The applicant argued there is an approval for the northern section that does not include landscaping.  The applicant failed to mention that the Planning Commission has not acted on that application and the staff recommendation is for denial.  It not too late to ensure the wall landscaping is uniform for all three segments.

 

One of the problems with this application is the project covers two townships.  This produces two sets of recommendations.  The Enterprise TAB has dealt with the wash area and its development for a number of years.  This wall does not simply overlook a wash. 

 

The TAB considered the following in its recommendation.

 

·   Staff position is landscaping is needed

·   The project is being done in three phases, each with a section of this wall

·   The approximately 3000 foot retaining wall at 10 to 15 heights requires a stair step design to break up the canyon effect

·   This wall bounds public property

·   Does not provide an adequate boundary design to major project.

·   Canyon effect would decrease the desirability of the private and public land as access along the adjacent road is decreased.

·   View fence on the top benefit the home owner not the public lands.

·   Public lands should be properly buffered from private projects.

 

Given the height of retaining wall and the length of the wall the TAB very strongly recommends Title 30 figure 30.64-1 be used for the design standard.

 

7.      VS-0673-12 – LAS VEGAS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC:

HELD by the applicant until December12, 2012 Enterprise TAB meeting

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Highlander Golf Lane and Southern Highlands Parkway, and between Turf Center Drive and Gary Goett Drive in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/mk/ed  (For possible action)

 

8.      VS-0674-12 – LAS VEGAS LAND DEVELOPMENT CO., INC:

HELD by the applicant until December12, 2012 Enterprise TAB meeting

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Cactus Avenue and Conn Avenue (alignment) and between Torrey Pines Drive and Mann Street in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/mk/ed (For possible action)

 

9.      ZC-0669-12 – OMEGA DEVELOPMENT IRR BUSINESS TRUST:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 10.0 acres from U-V (Urban Village - Mixed Use) Zone to RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone for a single family residential subdivision in the MUD-3 and CMA Design Overlay Districts.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Allow modified street improvement standards; and

2) Reduced street off-set. 

 

Generally located on the northeast corner of Torrey Pines Drive and Arby Avenue within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

The project replaces a mixed use plan with single family housing.  It is interesting to note that the 5.5 units per acre is significantly less than the 14 units per acre allowed.  Title 30 only sets the maximum number of units per acre.  In this case the developer has achieved a R-2 zone district project without going through a non-conforming zone change.

 

10.    ZC-0672-12 – LAS VEGAS LAND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC:

HELD by the applicant until December12, 2012 Enterprise TAB meeting

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.1 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone for a single family residential development.
