4.         UC-0404-15 – HAFEN I, LLC:

USE PERMITS for the following: 1) allow a perimeter wall (CMU wall) on a vacant property; and 2) allow an 8 foot high wall on 0.8 acres in the undeveloped R-E zoned portion of a parcel.

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) landscaping and screening requirements; 2) reduced setback from property line (wall); 3) reduced setback from the right-of-way for access gates; 4) full off-site improvements; and 5) non-standard improvements within a right-of-way (Pebble Road).

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB July 15, 2015: HELD to the July 29, 2015 TAB per agreement with the applicant to revise plans to show landscaping along Pebble. (Previously heard)

 

APPROVE per staff “if approved” conditions

 

The TAB opinion is this parcel is suitable for the applicant’s intended purpose. The parcel should be developed consistent with the landscaping and off-sites on other parcels along Pebble Rd.

 

This parcel has three different zone districts that should be updated into a single zone district.  The applicant will have to file for a non-conforming zone change to match their intended use across the entire parcel.  Part of the property is current zoned M-1and the TAB has no objections to that area being used for outside storage while the non-conforming zone change is processed.  The use of an 8 ft. wall is appropriate for the area.

 

Until the final plans for Pebble Rd. to Jones Blvd. is completed the off-sites should be limited to the current roadway.  Once the final plans are developed, the rest of the off-sites should be installed.

 

The applicant presented a revised plan which showed a landscape area along Pebble Rd. with the wall set back from the right-of-way.

 

5.         DR-0399-15 – BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT & COUNTY OF CLARK:

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 1) public park (Mountain’s Edge Park Adult Baseball Fields) with ancillary uses, amenities, structures, and facilities; and 2) signage on an approximate 25.0 acre portion of a 225.0 acre site in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Mountains Edge Parkway and the east and west sides of Cimarron Road (alignment) within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action) 08/05/15 BCC

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB July 15, 2015: HELD no specific date - per RMP staff request to revise plans.  Placed on this agenda per request of county commissioner. (Not previously heard)

 

This is an excellent addition to Mountains Edge Regional Park. 

 

The TAB has several concerns:

·   The provided parking may not be adequate if a large event in the current park section and a baseball tournament takes place at the same time.

·   Field design that can be easily be converted for little league teams.

·   How the operating hours will affect the abutting residential.

·   How the ball park lighting will affect the abutting residential.

 

The TAB opinion is the lighting review should be a public hearing because of the effects on the residential areas to the north and east.

 

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

CHANGE Current Planning bullet #2 to read:

·         Design review as a public hearing with more detailed plans, including photometric values and details on lighting fixtures for all on-site lighting.

 

6.         UC-0339-15ROBERT SCOTT CARL LIVING TRUST, ET AL:

AMENDED HOLDOVER USE PERMITS for the following: 1) increase the area of an accessory building; 2) allow an accessory building not architecturally compatible with the principal building; and 3) waive applicable design standards per Table 30.56-2A in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 1.0 acre in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Belcastro Street and the north side of Torino Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml  (For possible action) 08/18/15 PC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

ADD a Current Planning condition:

·         Plant trees every 20 feet along the south side of the proposed building.

 

One resident objected to the application with the following comments. 

·      This proposed accessory structure is %200 the size of the primary residential structure. 

·      It is a %400 increase above allowed code standard of %50 of the size of the primary residential structure. 

·      We are seeing more and more abuses of the privilege of these accessory structures in RNPs.

·      Uses that the privileges of the RNP were never meant to include.

·      More detailed guidelines are needed beyond what is now available in Title 30.

·      It was requested that the TAB include on a future agenda a discussion item on accessory structures.

 

The TAB felt that given the size of this building, the applicant should provide landscaping along Torino Ave. side to help breakup the mass of the building.

 

7.         UC-0416-15 – KALE, HELEN A.:

USE PERMITS for the following:  1) allow an accessory structure (metal garage) not architecturally compatible with the principal structure; and 2) modified design standards in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.7 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Rancho Destino Road, 200 feet south of Siddall Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/gc/ml  (For possible action) 08/18/15 PC

 

DENY per staff recommendation

 

The TAB agrees with the staff opinion that the accessory structure is not compatible with the area.  The TAB considered the following:

 

·   The design of the building design is better suited to an industrial area.

·   The applicant was not willing to position the structure to accommodate a landscaping buffer.

·   The applicant stated his neighbors planned landscaping that would hide the building.

·   Painting the structure would not help its compatibility with the neighborhood.

·   The other building examples in the area cited by the applicant do not appear adjacent or abutting their property. 

·   This is a relatively new neighborhood where the proposed accessory structure design in not prevalent.

12.       DR-0437-15 – OBER FAMILY INVESTMENTS, LLC, ET AL:

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed hotel with kitchens in rooms on a portion of 3.2 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone in the MUD-1 Overlay District.  Generally located on the north side of Moberly Avenue and the west side of Giles Street within Enterprise.  ss/pb/ml  (For possible action) 08/19/15 BCC

 

DENY due to denial of vacation of Moberly – re: VS-0439-15

 

The design presented required the vacation of Moberly Ave. for the building placement and to meet the parking requirement.

 

The TAB is concerned that established business adjacent to the property would be harmed by the vacation of Moberly Ave.  The closure would make returning to south bound Las Vegas Blvd. harder.

 

The applicant plans showed an undeveloped portion of the property that can be used to relocate the building and create enough parking to meet code requirements.

 

Established public right-of-way should not be given away.  Especially, when the applicant has land available to build the project without the vacation.  See VS-0439-15 for the TAB discussion on Moberly Ave. vacation.

 

13.       VS-0323-13 (ET-0049-15) – richmond american homes nv:

14.       TM-0125-15 – ROOHANI KHUSROW FAMILY TRUST; ET AL:

TENTATIVE MAP consisting of 29 single family residential lots and common lots on 7.5 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone and an R-1 (Single Family Residential) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the northwest corner Lindell Road and Agate Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action) 08/19/15 BCC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

15.       VS-0415-15 - ROOHANI KHUSROW FAMILY TRUST; ET AL:

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Lindell Road and Westwind Road and between Agate Avenue and Raven Street (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action) 08/19/15 BCC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

16.       VS-0439-15 - OBER FAMILY INVESTMENTS, LLC, ET AL:

VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of right-of-way being Giles Street located between Moberly Avenue and Robindale Road, and a portion of right-of-way being Moberly Avenue between Giles Street and Las Vegas Boulevard South within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/pb/ml  (For possible action) 08/19/15 BCC

 

APPROVE 5 foot vacation of Giles only;

DENY vacation of Moberly

 

The TAB recommends approval for the 5 ft. vacation along Giles St. for the detached side walk.

 

The TAB examined the following concerning the Moberly Ave. vacation:

·   The applicant contends Moberly Ave. is not needed because it does not extend eastward beyond Giles St.

·   Moberly is a dedicated public right-of-way.

·   Area residents are strongly against the vacation of Moberly Ave.

·   Moberly Ave. is an integral part of the traffic flow pattern along and east of Las Vegas, Blvd.

·   South bound traffic can access Las Vegas Blvd. east side business.

o                                                              To continue southbound it is necessary to go east on Moberly then north or south on Giles then west back to Las Vegas Blvd.

o                                                              If Moberly is vacated south bound traffic will have to go to Robindale Rd. and make a U-turn.

o                                                              The U-turn at Robindale Rd is difficult or impossible for large pickups and trucks due to the Las Vegas Blvd. width.

·   Many Enterprise residents use the east/west streets between Las Vegas Blvd and Giles St. as an alternate route to access businesses on the east side of Las Vegas Blvd.

·   The applicant is using the vacate portion of Moberly Ave. to satisfy the parking requirement.

·   The building placement is also requires the vacation of Moberly Ave.

·   A portion of the site was shown as a future pad site.

·   The applicant has sufficient land available to relocate the building and parking.

·   The vacation of Moberly Ave. would harm established business due to reduced access.

·   Future traffic increases on Las Vegas Blvd. will place an increasing demand on the local streets for alternate routes.

 

The TAB recommends Moberly Ave. right-of-way be maintained as it is an integral part of the traffic flow on and around Las Vegas Blvd.  The vacation of dedicated public right-of-way on and near a major arterial road should not be done.  This can result is serious traffic problems in the future.

 

17.       WS-0414-15 – ROOHANI KHUSROW FAMILY TRUST; ET AL:

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce front setback.

WAIVERS OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (NZC-0568-13) requiring the following: 1) per revised plans presented at the 08/06/14 Board of County Commissioners’ meeting; 2) R-D zoning for portion depicting Lot 1 through 11 with a density of 3 dwelling units per acre; 3) R-1 zoning for portion depicting Lots 12 through 36 with a density of 5 dwelling units per acre; 4) mix of 1 and 2 story homes with 2 story homes interior to the development; and 5) full off-site improvements on Westwind Road.

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 1) a single family residential development; and 2) increase finished grade for a proposed residential development on 7.5 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone and an R-1 (Single Family Residential) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the northwest corner Lindell Road and Agate Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action) 08/19/15 BCC

 

APPROVE Waiver of Development Standards;

APPROVE Waivers of Conditions 1, 2, 3, & 4;

DENY Waiver of Conditions 5;

APPROVE Design Review 1 & 2;

ADD Current Planning condition:

·         Provide a pathway along Lindell and Agate;

Per staff "if approved" conditions

 

The developer has presented an excellent project for the area.  The waivers of conditions 1 thru 4 are necessary to accommodate the current project which is significantly different for the original plans.

 

The TAB recommends the full off-sites be developed along Westwind.  The Westwind west side is already developed.  In addition, Westwind adjacent to the project is not in or next to a RNP that could justify rural road standards.

 

The TAB has requested an examination of the rural road standards to meet the current neighborhood needs.  One of those needs is a walking pathway adjacent to the roadway.  To date this has not been acted upon by the County.  The TAB added a condition for a pathway along Lindell Rd. and Agate Ave. as a way to provide a place to walk while preserving the rural nature in the area.
