7.       DR-0115-13 – GOOD SAMARITAN LUTHERAN CHURCH OF LAS VEGAS:

APPROVED per staff conditions and

DELETE Current Planning bullet #1

ADD to Current Planning conditions the following conditions as stated and amended:

 

·   Design review as a public hearing for significant changes to future buildings or phases.

·   The church has the option to change the construction order of phases two and three with staff administrative approval.

·   The church will construct a fence on the west property line.  From the sidewalk on Windmill to the north side of the school building the fence will be wrought iron, a minimum of five feet high, and match the current playground fence.  From the north side of the school to the south property line wall, the church may use a five foot high chain link or wrought iron fence.  If a chain link fence is used it will be replaced with a matching wrought iron fence in the next phase of construction.  The west property line fence will be completed before a certificate of occupancy is issued for the initial seven room school building.

·   The church will construct a six foot high screening wall on part of the south and east sides of their property. The wall will be constructed in two phases.

o         Project phase one, the screening wall (southeast corner) will be built approximately 190 feet north and 80 feet west.  This wall will be completed before a certification of occupancy is issued for the initial school room building.

o         Project phase two, the screening wall (southeast corner) will be extended approximately 140 feet (total length) to the west.  This screening wall will be completed when 20 or more parking spaces are added. 

o         White slump stone will be used to match the current walls.

o         The top of the wall will be 6 feet above the benchmark elevation.

o         That benchmark elevation agreed upon is the center of the current fire department turn around.

·   The church has the option to rebuild the current wall, increase the current boundary wall height, or add a redundant wall to meet the screening requirement. 

·   All pole mounted lighting will be shielded. 

·   Bollards (with a maximum height of four feet) will be used for new parking lots and sidewalks. 

·   All exterior building light fixtures should be shielded to prevent light from shining onto residential neighborhood;

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) Classroom building;

2) Activity area addition to the place of worship building with associated ancillary shade structures; and

3) Future phases of development for a place of worship campus/facility with all ancillary uses and structures

 

in conjunction with an existing place of worship on 4.3 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a use permit (UC-0730-09) requiring limiting school to kindergarten thru Grade 3.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Windmill Lane and Gagnier Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml (For possible action)

 

This application satisfies the TAB’s concern for a complete plan for the property. The Good Samaritan can now move forward knowing that their vision fits the property, the layout and buildings are compatible with the RNP-1 to the east and the commercial to the west. Also satisfied is the requirement for a fence along the western boundary.

 

The TAB added conditions were developed and agreed to during a series of meeting where all the affect property owners were represented. 

The TAB has endorsed the use of some chain link fence during phase one for the following.

·   The commercial property to the west will build a landscaped berm and decorative block wall when their project moves forward.

·   The intent was to limit the current cost to the church given the plans on file for the commercial property

·   The second phase of this project will replace the chain link with a matching wrought iron fence.

·   A five foot high fence is sufficient to meet the current needs of church and commercial property owner.

 

The TAB has added conditions that were previously approved.  The intent is twofold; first the conditions from previously applications carry forward if the application expires.  Second is to have one application the church can work with going forward.

 

8.       DR-0242-13 – SHFL PROPERTIES, LLC:

9.       VS-0257-13 – RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES OF NEVADA, INC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of right-of-way being Neal Avenue (alignment) located between Southern Highlands Parkway and Goett Golf Drive in an C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in Southern Highlands within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/mc/ed  (For possible action)

 

10.     ZC-0672-12 (WC-0043-13) – RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES OF NEVADA, INC:

APPROVED per staff conditions and,

ADD Major Projects condition:

Require five foot landscaping and sidewalks at the western terminus.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change requiring development per the site plan dated December 10, 2012 on 5.1 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Neal Avenue (alignment), and the west side of Turf Center Drive (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/mc/ed  (For possible action)

 

Southern Highlands has requested landscaping and sidewalks on the western terminus of Neal Ave.  This was added as a condition by the TAB.  The TAB also requested the applicant to explore the possibility of a pedestrian gate to the commercial property to the west with Southern Highlands.

 

11.     WS-0249-13 – RICOLI DEVELOPMENTS, LLC, ET AL:

The following motion was approved:

DENY Waiver of Development Standards #1

APPROVE Waiver of Development Standards #2 per staff "if approved" conditions

STRIKE Current Planning "if approved" bullets #1 and #2

ADD Public Works - Development Review condition:

·   Waive all off-sites except 32 feet paving on Gomer and Belcastro

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Allow proposed single family residential lots to have direct access to an arterial street (Gomer Street); and

2) Waive off-site improvements

 

in conjunction with a proposed 4 lot single family residential parcel map on 2.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Gomer Road (alignment) and the west side of Belcastro Street (alignment) within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB does not recommend driveways front onto an arterial road.  Gomer Road at this time is relatively undeveloped road; it may not be in the future.  The limited number of east/west arterials in Enterprise may require Gomer to be developed at some point in the future.  Current examples are residential properties along Eastern Avenue and Desert Inn Road that are no longer viable as residential properties.  At one time these road were undeveloped and suitable for residential. TAB suggested that the applicant widen the 20 foot access easement to a 25 foot wide private road and use that road to provide access from Gomer Road to the 2 lots that do not front on Belcastro.  This would comply with the current code.

 

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS

 

1.   Review and approve 2014 TAB calendar (for possible action).
