TAB members raised concerns that Southern Highlands Parkway south of Dean Martin has changed from commercial uses to low to high density residential without a corresponding upgrade of public facilities required to support that additional residents.  An additional TAB concern is the applicant should pursue the change through the land use plan update process rather than the non-conforming zone change process and that the developer should follow the master plan or change the master plan.

 

The TAB considered the following:

·      This is a non-conforming zone change.

·      Other non-conforming zone changes in the area have the project density limited.

·      The Southern Highlands Master Plan calls for residential medium uses (3-14 units/acre).

·      This parcel’s land uses were not changed in the master plan when it was reviewed.

·      The TAB has consistently recommend density be limited to the land use category max units/acre when higher densities have been requested.

·      The applicant’s position is there will be little school impact due to one and two bedroom units provided.

·      No new school sites have been set aside in the area.

·      Property is currently split between two zone districts.

·      The H-1 zone district residential component is a conditional use permit and as such can be conditioned for fewer units/acre.

·      The project is an excellent design.

·      Project design aspects are governed by Southern Highlands Master Plan criteria.

 

The TAB recommended the Zone Change and Use Permit be limited to 14 units/acre in line with other TAB non-conforming zone change recommendations in the area.  Due to the lack of adequate public facilities in the area, the TAB has consistently recommended reduced project density use the current master plan as a guide.  Another factor, previous TAB recommendations in the area were factored into the decision.  The TAB consensus is area recommendations should be consistent for all applicants. 

 

The TAB recommended the Design Review be denied because the reduced density would require the project to be redesigned.

ADD Current Planning conditions:

·      Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage;

·      Design Review as a public hearing for significant changes to plans;

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify a 3.3 acre portion of a 19.1 acre parcel from R-4 (Multiple Family Residential - High Density) Zone to C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.

 

USE PERMIT for increased building height.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce parking in conjunction with a commercial development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a commercial development (hotel and a restaurant pad site).  Generally located on the north side of St. Rose Parkway and the east side of Spencer Street within Enterprise (description on file).  ss/mk/ml (For possible action) 05/06/15 BCC

 

The property has had many proposed uses.  The zone district has changed several times since 2005.  The TAB considered the following:

 

·  The underlying land use is Commercial General.

·  The adjacent R-4 project is an intense land use

·  The project is well designed.

·  Complies with St. Rose Parkway Trail Design Guidelines.

·  The applicant’s estimate for patron arrival mode may not be accurate for this site.

·  The type of business for the undeveloped pad will effect over or under parking.

·  The reduction of 4 parking spaces will not significantly affect parking.

·  Lighting and signage were not included in the Design Review.

·  The number of plan and zone changes on this site.

 

The TAB recommended two additional conditions.  First, a Design Review for lighting and signage that was not covered in the current application.  Second, a Design Review for significant changes to plans.  This is due to the large number of changes that have occurred on this property since 2005.

 

The TAB normally does not recommend C-2 zone district on property less than 10 acres.  This property is an exception because of the uses that surround it and the previous applicant's intentions to develop a section of the property for commercial use.  It is interesting to note, the original zone district was Urban Village U-V which changed to high density residential project.  Now the commercial element has been added.  The property is now configured very similar to the U-V originally proposed.  This raises the questions of how effect is the U-V zone district as a guide for development and should it be removed from Title 30.

 

GENERAL BUSINESS:

 

Arden Rail Business Park Overlay Concept for discussion and recommendation to Board of County commissioners. (For possible action)

Dave Chestnut to prepare summary and letter to Board of County Commissioners for review at next TAB meeting.

 

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

No discussion, action, or vote may be taken upon a matter raised under this item of the agenda until the matter itself has been specifically included on a future agenda.  Comments will be limited to three minutes.  Please step to the front of the room to address the Board, clearly state your name and address and please spell your last name for the record.  If any member of the Board wishes to extend the length of a presentation this will be done by the Chair or the Board by majority vote.

 

The results for ORD-0252-15 (Title 30 changes) were distributed to TAB members with the following comments by one TAB member:

 

  • Several Title 30 changes will significantly affect how residential areas, including the RNPs, will be built.

 

  • The staff suggested changes were made available with the ordinance introduction on April 8 2015.

 

  • Significant changes were proposed by Southern Nevada Home Builders (SNHB) less 24 hours prior to the BCC public hearing (April 22, 2015)

 

  • The changes proposed by the SNHB reduced or eliminated some of the staff proposed changes.

 

  • The changes were accepted by the Comprehensive Planning Management.

 

  • County attorney indicated it was acceptable to proceed because the changes were less restrictive or sections removed.

 

  • Because many of these changes reduced requirements and not increased requirements, the county attorney determined the changes could be made during the BCC meeting. 

 

  • Other stakeholders were not provided an advanced copy or given additional time to comment on the changes proposed by SNHB.

 

  • The net result is the BCC approved significant changes to Title 30 based on one stakeholders input.

 

The County Liaison has confirmed Planning Staff will be briefing TABs so they are clear on the changes.

 

NEXT MEETING DATE:  May 13, 2015, 6:00 p.m.
