ZONING AGENDA:

 

07/03/13 BCC

 

H-1    WS-0277-13 – DJURISIC, DRAGAN:

APPROVED per staff if approved conditions and,

ADD a Current Planning if approved condition:

·        Design Review for Lighting and Signage as a Public Hearing;

ADD a Public Works condition:

·        Paved access to be provided from Pebble Road and Bronco St.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) a reduced setback; and

2) reduced landscaping.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a waiver of development standards (WS-0493-11) requiring any future development on the parcel will require full off-site improvements.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a new metal industrial/warehouse building in conjunction with an existing industrial building and outside storage business on 1.9 acres in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the south side of Pebble Road and the west side of Bronco Street within Enterprise.  SB/mk/ml (For possible action)

 

This project will significantly improve the corner of Bronco Street and Pebble Road.  The decorative wall and landscaping will satisfy the conditions on a previous application. In addition, it will complement a property to the west.  This area should be developed with landscaping and decorative walls to provide a better look than the current Arden area.

 

The TAB has consistently recommended that no additional pavement be installed on Pebble until there is a final design for the Pebble to Jones connection.  This design could significantly change the road configuration in the area.

 

07/16/13 PC

 

1.       VS-0310-13 – GALLERY 2012, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Pioneer Way and Jerlyn Street, and between Agate Avenue and Oleta Avenue in a U-V (Urban Village- Mixed Use) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/mc/xx  (For possible action)

 

2.       VS-0318-13 – MANUEL & ROSA BIORATO FAMILY TRUST:

APPROVED per staff conditions and exhibit provided.

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Raven Avenue and Agate Avenue (alignment), and between Gagnier Boulevard (alignment) and Tomsik Street (alignment) in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/pb/xx  (For possible action)

 

The staff agenda sheet indicated 30 ft. along the Gagnier alignment would not be vacated.  Gagnier is not required for access to property in the area.  The property south of the application has vacated the Gagnier alignment.  The three 20,000 ft. lots proposed can make better use of the land.

 

3.       WS-0321-13 – ASSEMBLIES GOD LOAN FUND:

DENIED

If approved, ADD Public Works conditions:

·        Waive full off-sites on Fairfield and Erie except for one lane of paving.

·        Waive lighting on Bermuda.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce lot area in conjunction with a single family residential development on 5.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Erie Avenue and the west side of Bermuda Road within Enterprise.  SS/dg/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB agreed with the staff analysis that the reduced lot size was a self-imposed condition.

 

Only one of the 9 lots met the Title 30 standards for a minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. lots.  This is not consistent with the current trend in RNP-1 development and conditions required of other developers.  The applicant is from California and was not familiar with the current trends.  They were not familiar with Non-Urban Road Standards or the development pattern along Bermuda.  The applicant reduced lot size to cover the cost of full off-sites on three sides of the project.

 

The TAB recommends Fairfield be developed with 32 ft. of paving on center line and no other off sites.  Erie to have one additional paved lane and no other off-sites.  This is consistent with collector development in other parts of Enterprise, where the collector boarders RNP-1 overlay.  Bermuda has been developed with full paving, curb, gutter and no street lighting on the west side.  This pattern should be continued for this project.

 

4.       ZC-0326-13 – SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS INVESTMENT PARTNERS:

HELD to the July 10, 2013 TAB meeting per agreement of applicant.

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 43.8 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone and H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone under ROI to C-2 (General Commercial) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone, and H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone for a single family residential development.

 

USE PERMIT to modify residential development standards for a front yard setback.

 

WAIVER to allow modified street improvement standards in conjunction with a proposed single family residential development in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Southern Highlands Parkway and Robert Trent Jones Lane within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

07/17/13 BCC

 

5.       UC-0693-07 (ET-0051-13) – SHORT LINE HORIZON, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions and,

ADD Current Planning conditions:

·        Design Review as a Public Hearing for significant changes to plans.

·        Design Review as a Public Hearing for Signage and Lighting.

·        Perpetual cross access to be provided to commercial properties to the south.

 

USE PERMITS THIRD EXTENSION OF TIME to commence the following:

 

1) Reduce the separation from a convenience store to a residential use; and

2) Reduce the separation from a car wash to a residential use.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a shopping center on 2.0 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Fort Apache Road and Long Boat Key Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/co/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB has recommended three conditions to ensure compatibility with the neighborhood.  The third extension of time may indicate the project is not viable and any change to the current plans should be reviewed as a public hearing.

 

Perpetual cross access is a consistent TAB recommendation to provide a better traffic flow between commercial properties.

 

This property is adjacent to established residential.  The site lighting and signage should be reviewed for their effects on the residential.

 

6.       VS-0304-13 - LEONARD R. DUMAS TRUST EST UDT DTD 12/10/98:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Arden Grove Street and Bear Ridge Street, and between Pipers Ridge Avenue and Robindale Road in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/mk/xx (For possible action)

 

7.       VS-0323-13 - KWONG, JULIA & VICTOR TRUST:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Cougar Street and Wigwam Avenue (alignment), and between Conquistador Street (alignment) and Reynolds Spring Street in an RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/xx  (For possible action)

 

8.       VS-0325-13 – MCELROY, MARIE, ET AL:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Windmill Lane and Shelbourne Avenue, and between Tenaya Way and Rainbow Boulevard in an RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/al/xx  (For possible action)

 

9.       ZC-0303-13 – LEONARD R. DUMAS TRUST EST UDT DTD 12/10/98:

APPROVE Zone Change reduced from R-2 to R-D per staff conditions:

ADD Current Planning condition:

·        Landscaping along Robindale will match the landscaping provided by Nevada Trails.

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone for a proposed single family subdivision.  Generally located on the south side of Robindale Road, 130 feet east of Arden Grove Street within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/mk/ml  (For possible action)

 

There is strong opposition to this application from Nevada Trails residents and the HOA.  There were 46 e-mails in opposition and 26 residents opposed at the TAB meeting.

 

The TAB considered the following:

·        This request is for R-2 zoning with 24 units on 5 acres.

·        Nevada Trails borders this property on three sides.

·        The Nevada Trails is zoned R-2.

·        The surrounding Nevada Trails lot sizes are 10,000 to 14,000 sq. ft. on the eastern and southern borders.

·        The existing Nevada Trails lots on the western border are 7700 sq. ft.

·        Landscaping along Robindale maintained by Nevada Trails HOA.

·        Traffic conditions were described by the residents.

·        Only two story products (houses) are being proposed

·        Nevada Trails is a mix of single and two story houses.

·        R-2 zone district, 8 units per acre, becomes a right if the zone change is approved.

·        Median on Robindale does not provide enough room to install a turn lane.

·        The right-in/right-out will increase the number of U-turns at Nevada Trails entrance to enter this property.

 

The TAB in 2007 recommended this infill property be zoned R-D to better match the neighborhood that surrounds it.  The conditions present in 2007 have not changed.  R-D is consistent with the developed properties in Nevada Trails as they are considerably larger than the normal R-2 lot.  The TAB also recommended the landscaping along Robindale match what is maintained by Nevada Trails.  The applicant suggested and agreed to this condition.

 

10.     ZC-0315-13 – AYB INVESTMENTS, LLC, ET AL:

APPROVE the Zone Change:

DENY the Design Review:

ADD Current Planning condition:

·        Design Review as a Public Hearing for Lighting and Signage;

CHANGE Current Planning bullet #3 to read:

·        A Design Review as a Public Hearing for future plans;

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 1.3 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a retail center on 2.5 acres.  Generally located on the east side of Dean Martin Drive and the south side of Rush Avenue within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/jvm/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB agreed with the staff recommendation for cross access to the south and east.  The plan presented did not allow for cross access and, as a result, the TAB recommends denial of the Design Review.  Any new plan should be presented as a public hearing for a Design Review.  Lighting and Signage are not part of this package.  The TAB has requested a Design Review for these two items. 

 

The area round Dean Martin and Cactus should be examined during the Enterprise Major Land Use Update. The current land use may not be appropriate when the Cactus interchange is finished.

 

11.     ZC-0322-13 – KWONG, JULIA & VICTOR TRUST:

APPROVED Zone Change to R-2 per staff if approved conditions and plans on file.

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.4 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone for a single family residential development.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to exceed the maximum site disturbance in conjunction with a hillside development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a grading plan for development within a Hillside & Foothills Transition Boundary Area.  Generally located on the north side of Cougar Avenue and the west side of Reynolds Spring Street (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

This is the first time the TAB has heard a hillside disturbance waiver.  Jason Allswang, Current Planning, provided the TAB with an excellent Title 30 requirements review and the current County practices.

 

Given the 12% slope on this parcel, it should not have been planned for RH (8 to 18 units per acre).  The slope information was not presented in the last land use major update when the RH land use was assigned.  Title 30 standard is 2 units per acre.

 

Two factors led to the TAB approval recommendation.  First, the applicant has submitted revised plans to the County that mitigates some hillside disturbance.  Second, The R-2 zone district will reduce the possible density on the hillside.

 

12.     ZC-0324-13 – MCELROY, MARIE, ET AL:

APPROVED per staff If Approved conditions (which includes the recommendation of reduction of the zone change to R2).

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to RUD (Residential Urban Density) Zone for a single family residential development.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Open space;

2) Reduce street intersection off-sets; and

3) Non-standard off-site improvements.  

 

Generally located on the south side of Windmill Lane, 1,280 feet west of Rainbow Boulevard within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/al/ml  (For possible action)

 

This is an infill project that complements the neighborhood.  The TAB agreed with the staff’s reasoning and recommendation to change the requested zone district to R-2.  This eliminates the need for Waiver of Development Standards #1.

 

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS  NONE
