02/05/13 PC

 

2.      NZC-0771-12 - BANK OF GEORGE:

APPROVED per Staff conditions and,

CHANGE Public Works conditions:

     Rural Standards for Wigwam and Cougar;

     No dedication for Bonita Vista;

ADD Public Works condition:

         If required, equestrian trail on Wigwam and crossing area adjacent to Durango.

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 10.0 acres from C-1 (Local Business) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone for a single family residential development.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Allow modifications to standard drawings for public street sections; and

2) Waive full off-site improvements. 

 

Generally located on the south side of Wigwam Avenue and west side of Durango Drive within Enterprise (description on file).  sb/pb/xx  (For possible action)

 

The Public Works comments and conditions did to reach the TAB until one hour prior to the meeting.  This is not acceptable. The late conditions and comments makes it very difficult to review a project.

 

The neighbors to the south objected to project density and the additional traffic that would be created. The neighborhoods did work with the developer and some of their objections were resolved.  The lots along the southern border have long lots that will help provide a better.  A statement by one of the abutting neighbors was read into the record.

 

Many of the lots around this application are large lots of ½ acre or more.  It is likely this area will revert to residential in the next major land use update.  The TAB opinion is using a modified rural road standard, proposed by the applicant, is appropriate for Cougar and Wigwam. 

 

One item discussed by the TAB was the vacation of Bonita Vista.  The Blue Diamond Wash Public Facilities Plan, May 27, 2009, shows Bonita Vista as a dedicated road.  This application would vacate Bonita Vista.  There were no comments in the staff agenda sheet addressing Bonita Vista.  The road would provide addition traffic circulation for the two planned schools west and south of this application.  If the schools are built the vacation of Bonita Vista will create a large traffic increase on Cougar. Opinions for and against the Bonita Vista vacation were made by the TAB members.

 

The equestrian trail condition was included because one map presented shows the trail crossing Durango on the south side of Wigwam then crossing to the north side of Wigwam.  Parks and Trails say this project does not impact the trail.  The TAB wants to ensure the trail is accommodated.

 

3.      NZC-0770-12 – BRANCH BANKING & TRUST COMPANY:

APPROVED per Staff If approved conditions (4-1)

Waiver of Development Standards #1b withdrawn by the applicant.

Add Public Works condition:

·   Internal streets all to be private.

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 4.7 acres from C-P (Office & Professional) Zone to R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) Zone for a multiple family residential development.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduce setbacks; and

2) Increase the number of units allowed from a private street and access easement.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for an apartment complex.  Generally located on the south side of Warm Springs Road, 300 feet west of Tenaya Way within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/al/xx  (For possible action)

 

The Public Works comments and conditions did to reach the TAB until one hour prior to the meeting.  This is not acceptable. The late conditions and comments makes it very difficult to review a project.  Even more so, when the staff recommends project denial.

 

The staff recommended this application be denied because it did not meet the County criteria for a non-conforming zone change and Public Works objected to the street being public with the current design.

 

There was some opposition to this project due to the density.  The TAB decision was based upon the following:

 

·   The applicant has successfully built this project eleven times in the valley, 8 in the County.

·   The project has an attractive design that looks more like a large home.

·   The staff conditions further enhance the design.

·   All internal roads should be private roads.

·   There are methods to marinating roads without establishing an HOA

 

4.      UC-0754-12 – KESICK, KEN & KALIAN:

HELD per request of the applicant until the January 30, 2013 TAB

 

USE PERMIT for temporary construction storage.

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Wigwam Avenue and Cougar Avenue, and between Durango Drive and Bonita Vista Street (alignment) in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  sb/pb/xx  (For possible action)

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the side yard setback in conjunction with a single family residential subdivision on a portion of 5.3 acres in an RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Cactus Avenue, 340 feet west of Arville Street within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

02/06/13 BCC

 

9.      ZC-0620-11 (WC-0156-12) – LSREF EXHIBITION INVESTMENTS, LLC:

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change requiring the applicant to dedicate a frontage road per the Transportation Element in conjunction with an approved resort hotel on 110.0 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone and an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) (AE-60 & AE-65) Zone in the MUD-1 and MUD-2 Overlay Districts.  Generally located between Eldorado Lane and Blue Diamond Road, and between Interstate 15 and Las Vegas Boulevard South within Enterprise (description on file).  ss/bk/ed  (For possible action)

 

A reservation is done where there is no need for the road today and it is uncertain when the road will be needed.  This usually only occurs on non-grid streets (Frank Sinatra) and in this case, Robindale was done this way due to not knowing when an overpass may be built over I-15.  This does ensure that if we ever need this right-of-way, then it will have to be dedicated at that time.  Road placement is not an issue since this is a frontage road that has some flexibility since it is not on a fixed alignment.

 

 

10.    ZC-0737-12 – SUNSET JONES, LLC:

         APPROVED Per Staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 1.4 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (AE-60) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) (AE-60) Zone in the MUD-3 and CMA Design Overlay Districts.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for an expansion to an existing shopping center including retail pad sites on 2.4 acres.  Generally located on the west side of Jones Boulevard and the north side of Rafael Rivera Way within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/dg/ml  (For possible action)

 

11.    ZC-0752-12 – EMA HOLDINGS, LLC:

APPROVED Per Staff recommendation and conditions (4-1)

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 1.4 acres from H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) Zone for a retail center.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for alternative landscaping along Blue Diamond Road.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a retail center with on-premise consumption of alcohol (tavern).  Generally located on the southeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Santa Margarita Street within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/jm/ml  (For possible action)

 

The staff and TAB position is this application does not meet the criteria for commercial general zone district for several reasons.

 

·   10 acres is the minimum size for commercial general.

·   Site is not located adjacent to two arterials

·   The proposed tavern is with 1500 feet of an existing tavern.

·   The next major update to the land use plan will likely remove C-1 and C-2 zone districts from the BDRP which has the effect of limiting further expansion of this site.

 

This is a conforming zone change.  The applicant is entitled to one of the zone district allowed in the land use plan.  The staff recommends a C-1 zone district.  The TAB agreed. 

 

12.    ZC-0757-12 – QUINTESSA SHG, LLC.; ET AL:

         APPROVED Per Staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 6.7 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone and R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone under Resolution of Intent to R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone to RUD (Residential Urban Density) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone.
