PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB June 11, 2014: HELD to the June 25, 2014 TAB meeting per agreement with the applicant: 3-0 (Previously heard)

 

The developer has worked with the neighbors and has made significant changes to their plans.  Alternate drainage patterns were examined by the developer.  It was found the amount of fill required could be reduced and as a result the Waiver of Development Standard #1 was withdrawn by the applicant.  The project is a much better fit for the neighborhood than originally presented.

 

After discussion with the neighbors the developer has committed to placing single story homes on the eastern boundary.  This eliminated the need for a landscape buffer on the eastern border.

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Increased wall height; and

2) Full off-site improvements (partial paving, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and streetlights) along Serene Avenue.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a single family residential development on 5.3 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Serene Avenue and the east side of Polaris Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/dg/xx  (For possible action)

 

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB June 11, 2014: HELD to the June 25, 2014 TAB meeting per agreement with the applicant: 3-0 (Previously heard)

        

The developer has worked with the neighbors and has made significant changes to their plans.  Alternate drainage patterns were examined by the developer.  It was found the amount of fill required could be reduced and as a result the Waiver of Development Standard #1 was withdrawn by the applicant.  The project is a much better fit for the neighborhood than originally presented.

 

After discussion with the neighbors the developer has committed to placing single story homes on the eastern boundary.  This eliminated the need for a landscape buffer on the eastern border.

 

The developer is currently in discussion with the neighbors along the eastern border to replace the current block wall instead of building a redundant wall.  The TAB cannot condition this because it involves a private agreement between two or more landowners.  The TAB did request the property owner’s work together to have a single wall.

 

The one area of disagreement among the TAB members is the subdivision gating.  The two points of view are:

·      The development pattern in this area south of Agate Ave. is developed with gated subdivisions and this applicant should be allowed to gate the subdivision. North of Agate Ave. is the traditional RNP-1 development with homes fronting local streets.

·      The Enterprise land use Goals and Policies discourage gated subdivision and Title 30.56 states lots should face local streets.

 

 

5.      ZC-0449-14 – ALON & ROSANA MILLER FAMILY TRUST 1992:

         APPROVED Zone Change reduced to R-1 per staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 5.2 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 Andermatt Lane and the east side of Van Cleef Street (alignment), 2,900 feet west of Durango Drive within Enterprise (description on file)  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB June 11, 2014: HELD to the June 25, 2014 TAB meeting per agreement with the applicant: 3-0 (Previously heard)

 

This item was held to determine if a plot plan should be presented as part of the application. The number of lots and design was covered in the applicant’s description.  However, no plot plan was presented.  The applicant has a potential plot plan but did not choose to make it a formal part of this application.  The TAB opinion is without the ability to condition the density this application should not be approved as presented.  The reduction to R-1 indicates the TAB objection to 41 lots proposed for this project.  The attempt is to lock in the number of lots while not providing an actual plot plan. 

 

The TAB position is exceptional design could not be determined to justify the maximum density and the public facilities are stretched to their capacity limit.  Additional density in this area is not in the public interest.  Future Design Review should include reduced density, the actual plot plan and the building elevations.

6.      VC-0159-13 (ET-0069-14) – CANFAM HOLDINGS, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

1) Increased building height;

2) Reduced front yard setback; and

3) Reduced rear yard setback

 

In conjunction with a 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/co/ml  (For possible action)

 

7.      TM-0090-14 – SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS INVESTMENT PARTNERS:

APPROVED per staff conditions and,

ADD Public Works – Development Review condition:

   Gate queuing study and compliance;

 

TENTATIVE MAP consisting of 403 residential lots and 2 large lots on approximately 119.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone under ROI to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone, R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) Zone, and H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone all in a P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the west side of Interstate 15 and the south side of Southern Highlands Parkway within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

Public works requested the applicant add a condition for a gate queuing analysis.

 

8.      UC-0519-14 – SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS INVESTMENT PARTNERS:

 APPROVED per staff conditions and,

ADD Public Works – Development Review:

   Gate queuing analysis and compliance;

APPROVE Use Permit;

WAIVERS 1 & 2 do not to apply to large lots indicated on the plan presented;

   Allow early final grading for all lots;

APPROVE Design Review for plot plan only.  No elevations presented

 

         USE PERMIT to increase the retaining wall height.

 

WAIVERS for the following:

 

1) Allow modified street improvement standards;

2) Reduce street intersection off-set; and

3) Allow early final grading.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for single family residential development on approximately 119.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone under ROI to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone, R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) Zone, and H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone all in a P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Southern Highlands Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the west side of Interstate 15 and the south side of Southern Highlands Parkway within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

Plot plans were presented for three of the five areas within the tentative map.  The TAB would not recommend granting waivers for areas where no plot plans were presented.  The TAB conditioned its recommendation for waivers # 1 & 2 to exclude the two large lots with no plot plans.  The applicant indicated early grading would be required on all five areas.  Because this is covered by grading plan and must be approved by Public Works the TAB recommended approval.

 

The Design Review was approved for the plot plans presented only because no building elevations were presented by the applicant.  The TAB did not consider the statement; they are the same as other Southern highlands projects, adequate for the elevation design review.

 

9.      VS-0506-14 – SALOMONSON, LORRIE:

APPROVED per staff conditions and,

NOTE for the record that what is being vacated is the Irvin Ave. portion of parcel 177-33-299-008.

 

VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of right-of-way being Irvin Avenue located between Giles Street and Haven Street within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/co/ml  (For possible action)

 

The TAB has no objection to the vacation of Irvin Ave. in this location.  Irvin Ave from Gilespie to Las Vegas does not exist and would require the county to repurchase land to have a viable right-of-way.

 

The TAB did question how this application describes the property.  The right-of-way has its own ANP that was not referenced in the application.  The two APNs referenced in the application were north and south of the actual right-of-way.

 

10.    VS-0510-14 – P8 Arden, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of an unnamed right-of-way located between Jones Boulevard and El Camino Road (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/co/ml  (For possible action)

 

 

11.    VS-0516-14 - STORYBOOK INVESTMENTS, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Ford Avenue and Sequoia Park Avenue, and between Decatur Boulevard and Cameron Street (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  sb/pb/xx  (For possible action)

 

12.    WS-0504-14 – CA LAS VEGAS CACTUS ROAD, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow a wall sign in a residential district.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for signage in conjunction with an approved school and day care facility on 5.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Cactus Avenue and the west side of El Capitan Way (alignment) within Enterprise.  sb/pb/ml  (For possible action)

 

13.    WS-0515-14 – STORYBOOK INVESTMENTS, LLC:

APPROVE Waiver of Development Standards 1a & 1b;

DENY Waiver of Development Standards 2 & 3

Per staff conditions.

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduced setbacks;

2) Increased wall height; and

3) Allow finished grade elevations to exceed 18 inches in height

 

In conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 1.3 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Ford Avenue, 200 feet west of Cameron Street (alignment) within Enterprise.  sb/pb/ml  (For possible action)

 

Lots 9 and 10 have the houses side loaded to the private road in the plot plan presented.  These two lots are located on the eastern property border.  The established homes to the east have their side yards along this boundary also.  This would place side yard to side yard for the existing homes and the proposed homes.  Give this unusual configuration the reduced setback waiver is appropriate.

 

The TAB is strongly opposed to Waiver of Development standards #s 2 & 3.   These waivers would allow a redundant wall considerably higher that the property wall to the east.  In addition the requested pad height would be close to 5 feet higher than the established home 10 feet away.  This is not an acceptable way to develop a neighborhood.  Other developers have found ways to connect the utilities and establish drainage without excessive fill used.  They have also worked with the adjacent neighbors to eliminate the need for a redundant wall.

 

Previously, the TAB had recommended the Tentative Map be denied.  However, it was approved by the PC on the routine action agenda without comment or reasons given for TAB recommendation rejection.

 

14.    WS-0522-14 – KB HOME LV CACTUS BERMUDA, LLC:

Initial Motion:

APPROVED per staff conditions with,

Current Planning bullet #2 deleted.

 

Motion to reconsider: APPROVED

 

APPROVED Waiver of Development Standards 1a, 1b, & 1c;

Per staff conditions deleting Current Planning bullets 1 and 2.

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to increase wall heights in conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 21.9 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Cactus Avenue, the west side of Bermuda Road, and the east and west sides of Placid Street within Enterprise.  SS/gc/ml  (For possible action)

 

There have been extensive negotiations by all parties on how this property will develop.  When the grading plan was finalized, it was determined that a wall height waiver on would be required to meet previously approved conditions. 

 

The neighbors directly affected by the higher walls were present and stated their agreement with the developer’s request.  Current planning bullets #1 & 2 restricted the wall heights and required landscape where it is not practical due to Public Works requirements.  With the approval of Waiver of Developments 1a, 1b, 1c the two bullets are not necessary or appropriate.
