05/21/13 PC

 

1.      UC-0148-13 – TZORTZIS, VASSILIOS & MARIA:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) A communication tower; and

2) Reduce the separation between communication towers to 540 feet where 600 feet is required (a       10% reduction).

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a communication tower in conjunction with a restaurant (tavern) on a portion of 3.7 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-1 Overlay District.  Generally located on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard South, 590 feet south of Jonathan Drive within Enterprise.  SS/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

The land owner of the cell tower to the north was not in favor of the reduced separation between towers.  She felt the applicant’s tower would devalue the lease for the tower on her land.  The TAB did not agree with her position.

 

2.      UC-0158-13 – HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH OF LAS VEGAS, INC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT for a child care facility.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a children’s playground facility and shed structure in conjunction with an existing place of worship on 9.3 acres in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Cactus Avenue, 1,340 feet east of Amigo Street within Enterprise.  ss/mk/ml (For possible action)

 

3.      VC-0159-13 – CANFAM HOLDINGS, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions with the following change:

CHANGE Major Projects – Planning “if approved” condition number 2 to read:

·      All lots to have 1 tree and shrubs planted adjacent to the street front.

ADD Major Projects “if approved” condition:

·      Front yard setback limited to 8ft width for one house model

 

VARIANCES for the following:

 

1) Increased building height;

2) Reduced front yard setback; and

3) Reduced rear yard setback

 

in conjunction with single family residential development on 29.8 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone in the Pinnacle Peaks Concept Plan Area.  Generally located on the south side of Windmill Lane and the east side of Jones Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

This application was processed under Title 29 when the Pinnacle Peaks Concept Plan was approved.  Under the current Title 30 the variances #s 2 & 3 would not be required.  The reduced front yard setback is only required for one of five models and for an eight foot width. Variance # 1 has been routinely approved for projects in Enterprise. 

 

The applicant request to have the staff condition for two trees in the front yard be modified to one tree and shrubs.  The lots are 33 ft. wide and two large trees would be too crowded. 

 

The project provides 20 ft. driveway for all houses.

 

4.      VC-0161-13 – CANFAM HOLDINGS, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions with the following change:

CHANGE Current Planning “if approved” condition number 2 to read:

·      All lots to have 1 tree and shrubs planted adjacent to the street front.

ADD Major Projects “if approved” condition:

·      Lot 166 to be a two story model.

·      Front yard setback limited to 8ft width for one house model

 

VARIANCES for the following:

 

1) Increased building height;

2) Reduced front yard setback; and

3) Reduced rear yard setback

 

in conjunction with single family residential development on 21.9 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone in the Pinnacle Peaks Concept Plan Area.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Windmill Lane and Torrey Pines Drive within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

An adjacent neighbor was concerned with the building mass and height in their backyard.  Their backyard will face the side of the building to the north.  The TAB added a condition to require lot 166 be a two story building to help limit the building mass in their back yard. 

 

This application was processed under Title 29 when the Pinnacle Peaks Concept Plan was approved.  Under the current Title 30 the variances #s 2 & 3 would not be required.  The reduced front yard setback is only required for one of five models and for an eight foot width. Variance # 1 has been routinely approved for projects in Enterprise. 

 

The applicant request to have the staff condition for two trees in the front yard be modified to one tree and shrubs.  The lots are 33 ft. wide and two large trees would be too crowded. 

 

The project provides 20 ft. driveway for all houses.

 

5.      WS-0172-13 – USCA DEVELOPMENT, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Allow modified street improvement standards; and

2) Reduced street off-set

 

in conjunction with a proposed single family development on 2.1 acres in an RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Jones Boulevard, 930 feet north of Windmill Lane within Enterprise.  SS/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB has requested Public Works look at the edge of driveway to back of curb radius standard.  This standard has been routinely waived for private streets.  Does the standard need to be change for private streets?

 

05/22/13 BCC

 

6.      DR-0153-13 – LAP TRUST:

APPROVE Design Review

DENY Waiver of Conditions

Motion APPROVED with staff “if approved” conditions

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a restaurant with outside dining in conjunction with an existing shopping center on 2.1 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (NZC-1485-04) requiring recording perpetual cross access, ingress/egress, and parking easement.  Generally located on the west side of Rainbow Boulevard, 450 feet south of Robindale Road within Enterprise.  SS/mk/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB opinion is the cross access requirement removal will not improve the situation.  Cross access between the two commercial properties has been an ongoing problem.  The requirement for cross access was left off the north property land use application. 

 

Both property owners point to each other as not being cooperative.  The solutions presented shift the cost to the other side.  One TAB suggestion is this applicant construct a drive aisle that removes half the elevation required to complete the cross access.

 

Cross access would benefit both commercial sites.

 

7.      UC-0169-13 – BRANCH BANKING & TRUST COMPANY:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT to allow an accessory use (swimming pool) prior to a principal use.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduce the front setback; and

2) Reduce the setback from a street

 

for an approved apartment complex on 4.7 acres in an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Warm Springs Road, 300 feet west of Tenaya Way within Enterprise.  SS/gc/ml  (For possible action)

 

8.      VS-0152-13 - 2010-1 RADC/CADC PROPERTY VI, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Ford Avenue and Cougar Avenue, and between Hualapai Way (alignment) and Grand Canyon Drive, and a portion of right-of-way being Conquistador Street located between Ford Avenue and Cougar Avenue in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/pb/ed  (For possible action)

 

9.      VS-0164-13 – BRANCH BANKING & TRUST COMPANY:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Warm Springs Road and Scottish Castle Avenue, and between Tenaya Way and Pioneer Way in an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/co/ed  (For possible action)

 

10.    ZC-0151-13 – 2010-1 RADC/CADC PROPERTY VI, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 21.5 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone for a single family residential development.  Generally located on the north side of Ford Avenue, 200 feet east of Hualapai Way (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/pb/ml  (For possible action)

 

This is an excellent use for this area.  The TAB has consistently recommended the density be less than RUD.  The slightly less than 6 unit/acre follows that recommendation.  The lower density has less impact on overcrowded southwestern schools and decreases traffic volume in the area.

 

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS

 

The TAB will discuss items concerning the Enterprise 2014 Major Land Use update.  The discussions will include land use category descriptions, goals and policies, administrative procedures and descriptive land use.  The public is encouraged to submit ideas and suggestions for this discussion.  The TAB will not take action on the any item discussed until it has been placed on the agenda for action.

 

The TAB will make recommendations for the Enterprise Land use update at the next meeting.  The recommendations approved will be forwarded to staff.  The areas of concern will be taken from the TAB discussions and any additional public input.  These recommendations will be an action item on May 15, 2013 TAB agenda. 

 

PUBLIC COMMENTS

 

·   The Department of Energy has added code provisions to national building standards requiring the placement of large tree on the south east property corner to block sunlight.  This code will take 4 to 8 years to filter down to the local level.  In addition, houses will have to meet energys standards to have a building permit issued.

·   Query Public Works on traffic signals at Warm Springs and Fort Apache as the water park opens resulting in increased traffic at that intersection.
