PRESENTATION

 

Presentation by the Clark County Water Reclamation District to provide an update on the PWI (Paradise Whitney Interceptor): For information see: www.thelvpipeline.com/

 

Presented by Marty Flynn of the Clark County Water Reclamation District

        The Paradise Whitney Interceptor is a 13 miles long pipeline running from Valley View and Serene to the treatment plant on Nellis and Flamingo.

   The interceptor is not a regular sewer line. 

   The entire project is separated into three segments:

o   Western

o   Central

o   Eastern

   This presentation focuses on the Western segment:

   Beginning at Eldorado and Bermuda, which is almost finished, then up Wigwam under Las Vegas Blvd and the I-15, to Valley View, and then down Valley View to Serene. 

   Final completion of entire project slated for mid-2018.

   Neighbor along the route are notified in the following manner:

o   Prior to work in an area, letters are sent;

o   Depending on expected issues, the notification radius could be up to ¼ mile;

o   In the case of businesses affected by access issues, the notification is personal contact;

   The time frame for the segment east of Eastern Ave. including Eastern from Sunset to Warm Springs, is through summer, which also includes Sunset east to McLeod. 

   The project as originally conceived was a 5 to 7-year project but is now expected to be 3 ½ to 4 years.

   About half complete with work on Valley View: down Wigwam will be next.

   The proposed treatment plant at Valley View and Serene is no longer planned.

 

ZONING AGENDA:

 

1.           UC-0726-15 – KNOWLES, MARJORIE:

APPROVE per staff “if approved” conditions and per revised plans presented at the 12-30-15 Enterprise TAB

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) an existing accessory structure (cabana/deck) not architecturally compatible with the principal structure; and

2) modified design standards for existing accessory structures.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the separation between existing buildings and structures in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.9 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Warm Springs Road, 150 feet west of Rogers Street within Enterprise.  SS/gc/ (For possible action) 01/05/16 PC

 

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB December 9, 2015: Request that the Planning Commission send this application back to the TAB on December 30 for the TAB recommendation based on plans to be submitted by the applicant.

(Previously heard)

 

The applicant retained an architect who developed a plan to bring the property into compliance with title 30 and the building codes.  Since the last TAB meeting, the cabana was painted to a desert tone that matches the house and one building was moved to the correct setback. The applicant’s representative states that they will work with current planning and the building department to bring the property into compliance during the 1-year review period.

 

2.           UC-0792-15 – DIAMOND REAL PROPERTIES, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT to increase the height of an existing communication tower (monopole).

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a communication tower in conjunction with an existing warehouse building and contractor’s storage yard on 4.1 acres in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Mesa Verde Lane and the east side of Duneville Street within Enterprise.  SS/rk/ml (For possible action) 01/19/16 PC

 

3.           UC-0802-15 – SUMMERLIN ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVE per staff conditions

CHANGE Current Planning bullet #1 to read:

   Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage;

ADD a Public Works – Development Review condition:

   Install center-line barrier on Decatur to prevent left in and left out turns.

Motion PASSED

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) alcohol sales beer and wine (package only);

2) alcohol sales liquor (package only);

3) convenience store;

4) gasoline station;

5) offices;

6) retail sales and services; and

7) personal services in conjunction with a proposed retail center.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) reduced setbacks;

2) reduced separation to a residential use;

3) access to a local street; and

4) commercial driveway geometrics in conjunction with a proposed retail center.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed retail center (on 1.4 acres in an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone and an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone in an MUD-3 Overlay District).  Generally located on the southeast corner of Ford Avenue and Decatur Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/al/xx (For possible action) 01/19/16 PC

 

Area residents are opposed to this application.  They have the following concerns:

·      The neighbors expected this property to be developed as residential.

·      Wanted to know when the property was zoned H-2

·      Opposed to the curb cut on Ford Ave.

·      Concerned with additional traffic that could be generated on Ford Ave.

·      Consider the left turn form Ford Ave. to Decatur Blvd.  a safety hazard.

·      The residents were not aware that micro hospital is to be built on the northeast corner of Decatur Blvd and Ford Ave.

 

The TAB considered the following:

·            The uses are permitted in the H-2 zone.

·            The adjacent property to the east is land use planed for Residential High.

·            Many local street alignments have been eliminated by gated communities

o                                                              Too many local streets have been vacated so that there is not sufficient routing to accommodate the increased traffic.

o                                                              The result: once Ford Ave. is accessed, to go southbound Decatur Blvd must be via Arville St.

·            TAB experience indicates left turns onto an arterial increase the accident potential.

 

The TAB recommended two added conditions, First the design review for lighting and signage be a public hearing so the neighbors are notified and have a chance to comment.  Second, install a center line barrier along Decatur Blvd. to prevent left in and left out turns.  Many accidents occurred on Rainbow Blvd. until the centerline barriers were installed.

 

4.           UC-0816-15 – PAIRADICE TRUST:

DENIED

 

USE PERMIT to reduce the separation between 2 proposed community residences in conjunction with a single family home on 0.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Raven Avenue, 150 feet east of Monte Cristo Way within Enterprise.  SB/jt/ml (For possible action) 01/19/16 PC

 

There is significant neighborhood opposition (16 residents) to reducing the separation between community residences.  The local residents also felt the low density in the area would hinder the intended integration into the neighborhood as part of the rehab process.

 

The TAB agreed with the staff position stated below:

“A community residence provides a family-like arrangement for unrelated individuals with disabilities in need of mutual support furnished by other residents of the community residence, as well as the support services of the operator of the community residence.  Since a community residence is considered a residential use, a minimum of 660-foot separation is necessary to prevent the concentration of community residences. Locating community residences closer than 660 feet can also inhibit the treatment of residents by reducing the opportunity for the residents to integrate into a residential setting. In addition, staff stated the proposed community residence, together with the proposed abutting community residence to the west, would alter the residential character of neighborhood by creating an institutional atmosphere due to the concentration of community residences in a cul-de-sac.”

 

5.           UC-0817-15 – PAIRADICE TRUST:

DENIED

USE PERMIT to reduce the separation between 2 proposed community residences in conjunction with a single family home on 0.5 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Raven Avenue and the east side of Monte Cristo Way within Enterprise.  SB/jt/ml (For possible action) 01/19/16 PC

7.           UC-0688-14 (ET-0169-15) – GREYSTONE NEVADA, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence modified residential development standards in conjunction with a single family subdivision.

 

WAIVERS for the following:

 

1) allow modified street improvements to Clark County Standard Drawings; and

2) allow early final grading.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a single family residential subdivision on 19.7 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay) Zone in the Rhodes Ranch Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the south side of Ford Avenue and the west side of Chieftain Street within Enterprise and Spring Valley.  SB/rk/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

8.           TM-0203-15 - LEWIS INVESTMENT CO NV, LLC, ET AL:

DENIED: too dense particularly along Hualapai Way bordering the Red Rock Design Area.

 

TENTATIVE MAP consisting of 426 single family residential lots and common lots on a 56.9 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone with a portion of the development in the MUD-4 Overlay District.  Generally located on the east side of Hualapai Way and the south side of Serene Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/pb/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

9.           TM-0204-15 – KB HOME NEVADA, INC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

TENTATIVE MAP consisting of 27 single family residential lots and common lots on 3.1 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the northwest corner of Jones Boulevard and Frias Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/al/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

10.         UC-0797-15 – SOUTHERN HILLS BAPTIST CHURCH:

Motion to:

NO RECOMMENDATION on Use Permit;

APPROVE Waivers of Development Standards 1a, 1b, and 2;

Motion passed

 

USE PERMIT to reduce the front setback for an approved place of worship.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) alternative landscaping; and

2) allow a non-standard street improvement in the right-of-way (drainage and retaining structures)

 

in conjunction with an approved place of worship on 5.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Pebble Road (alignment), 300 feet east of Torrey Pines Drive within Enterprise.  sb/pb/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

After reading the staff summary sheet, listening to the applicant’s explanation, and questioning the staff member present, the TAB members did not understand the reason for the Use Permit.  As a result, no recommendation was made.

 

The alternative landscaping is appropriate because the church and planned school to the south will have shared parking.  The nonstandard street improvements are required until Pebble Road is reduced to a collector.

 

11.       UC-0826-15 – MAJESTIC NV PPTY HOLDINGS, LLC, ET AL:

Motion to:

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

ADD Current Planning condition:

       2-year review for Design Review #2.

Motion PASSED

 

USE PERMIT to allow deviations as shown per plans on file.

 

DEVIATIONS for the following:

 

1) allow a proposed restaurant in conjunction with an existing resort hotel (Silverton) without the primary means of access through the interior of the resort hotel; and

2) all other deviations as depicted per plans on file.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) a proposed restaurant;

2) relocate an existing watercraft storage area; and

3) signage for a proposed restaurant

 

in conjunction with an existing resort hotel on a portion of 78.6 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone and an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) (AE-60) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located 1,900 feet southeast of the southeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise.  SB/jt/ml  (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

There was a question whether the watercraft area is temporary or permanent?  If it is temporary, a screened chain link fence is appropriate.  If the area is permanent, then there should be a decorative block wall and landscaping provided.

 

12.         UC-0827-15 – MAJESTIC ENTERPRISE HOLDINGS, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

ADD Current Planning conditions:

   Design Review as a Public Hearing for Lighting and Signage;

   Any future Design Review to be as a Public Hearing.

Motion PASSED

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) proposed retail and service; and

2) proposed restaurants.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed shopping center on a portion of 13.4 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) (AE-60) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Blue Diamond Road and Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise.  SB/jt/ml  (For possible action)          01/20/16 BCC

 

Lighting and signage were not part of this application.  The TAB recommends a public hearing for those items.

 

There is considerable public interest in this item by the area residents.  Any future development should have a public hearing to allow the local resident to express their opinion.

 

13.       VS-0808-15 - LEWIS INVESTMENT CO NV, LLC, ET AL:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Serene Avenue (alignment) and Gary Avenue (alignment) and between Hualapai Way (alignment) and Grand Canyon Drive (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/pb/ml  (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

15.       WS-0800-15 – SDVQ, LLC:

Motion to:

WITHDRAW Waivers of Development Standards number 1, 3 and 4; no longer needed;

APPROVE Waivers of Development Standards number 2;

APPROVE Waivers of Conditions;

APPROVE Design Review per plans and diagrams submitted to the TAB on 12-30-2015;

ADD Current Planning condition:

     Accommodate potential for cross access if a compatible development occurs to the west.

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) allow a proposed metal building where not permitted;

2) cross access with parcel to the west;

3) roofline variations; and

4) decorative roof elements for an office/warehouse building.

 

WAIVERS OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-0231-08) requiring the following:

 

1) right-of-way dedication to include 30 feet for Wagon Trail Avenue with related spandrel; and

2) if Wagon Trail Avenue is not dedicated, the applicant will need to coordinate the access and termination of Westwind Road with APNs 176-01-102-006 and 176-01-102-009.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for an office/warehouse building on 2.5 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-60) Zone in the CMA Design Overlay District.  Generally located on the west side of Lindell Road, 700 feet south of Sunset Road within Enterprise.  SS/al/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

The applicant presented new plans for the building which eliminated the need for Waiver of Development Standards 1,3 and 4.

 

Staff has no objection to the Waiver of Conditions because not dedicating right–of-way for Wagon Trail

Avenue will not land-lock any parcel. Staff coordinated with the Department of Aviation since they are

the owners of the adjacent parcel to the west APN 176-01-102-009 and they also have no objection to

this waivers of conditions. 

 

The TAB recommended the applicant have the to ability to provide cross access to the west if the adjacent property is developed with a compatible use.  This would comply with the CMA design standards.

 

16.       WS-0809-15 – KB HOME NEVADA, INC:

Motion to:

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

ADD a Current Planning condition:

      Retaining wall along Jones to be stair-stepped.

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to increase wall height in conjunction with a single family residential development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed single family residential development on 3.1 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the northwest corner of Frias Avenue and Jones Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/al/xx (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

17.       ZC-0799-15 – CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES:

Motion to:

APPROVE Zone Change per staff conditions;

DENY Design Review re: traffic flow;

ADD Current Planning condition:

                                      Comply with Mountain’s Edge Master Plan landscape, lighting, and architectural color palettes; 

Motion PASSED

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 12.6 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to P-F (Public Facility) Zone.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a public school (elementary).  Generally located on the south side of Chartan Avenue and the west side of Pioneer Way within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

Several neighbors are opposed to this project.  Their concerns are:

·   Pick-up and drop-off will grid-lock their neighborhood.

·   The school should be built on another site.

·   The building is too tall

·   Will crosswalks be installed

·   Building design colors, lighting and landscaping does not match their neighborhood.

·   What effect will ground fill have on building height relative to the surrounding homes?

 

 

The TAB considered the following:

·   The southwest schools are seriously overcrowded.

·   All the available school sites within Mountain’s Edge have a planned school.

·   Homes fronting on Chartan Ave. and Boyd Ave. will be very impacted by the planned pick up and drop off points.

·   No homes front on Kane Spring St. and S. Pioneer Way.

·   Insufficient onsite queuing for pickup and drop off.

·   There is insufficient staff parking space shown on the plans

·   Some of the visitor parking should be assigned to staff parking.

·   The building color palette and landscaping are not consistent with the Mountain’s Edge Master Plan.

 

The TAB denied the Design Review based on the traffic experienced at other elementary school locations.  The TAB expects homes located along Chartan Ave. and Boyd Ave will be seriously impacted.  The drop-off points should be moved to Kane Springs St. and S. Pioneer Way to reduce the impact on homes that front on Chartan Ave. and Boyd Ave.  Additional on site queuing areas vc                                                                                                  should be built into the site. 

 

The TAB has consistently recommended that all projects in or around the Mountain’s Edge Master Plan use the Mountain’s Edge landscape, lighting, and architectural color palettes.  This would help the proposed school to better blend into neighborhood.

 

If the Mountain Edge standards are not followed there should be a design review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

 

18.       ZC-0803-15 – IRON EAGLE 7 PROPERTIES, LLC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 0.9 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to C-1 (Local Business) Zone for a proposed retail center.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed retail center.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Pebble Road and Decatur Boulevard within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/al/ml (For possible action)          01/20/16 BCC

 

 19.   ZC-0807-15 – LEWIS INVESTMENT CO NV, LLC, ET AL:

Motion to:

APPROVE Zone Change

APPROVE Waiver of Conditions

DENY Design Review #1: density too high particularly along Hualapai Way

APPROVE Design Review #2

ADD a Current Planning condition:

            Design Review as a Public Hearing for significant changes to plans;

ADD Public Works – Development Review conditions:

            All pole mounted lighting to be fully shielded including street lights;

            Street lights at intersections only;

Motion PASSED

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 17.5 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone with a portion in the MUD-4 Overlay District.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-0122-15), vacation and abandonment (VS-0123-15) and tentative map (TM-0039-15) requiring right-of-way dedication of 30 feet for Gary Avenue and 47 feet for Richmar Avenue and all associated spandrels.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) a proposed single family residential development; and

2) increased finished grade on 56.9 acres. 

 

Generally located on the east side of Hualapai Way and the south side of Serene Avenue within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/pb/ml (For possible action) 01/20/16 BCC

 

The TAB considered the following:

·   The public services and commercial services needed to support the proposed density are not in place.

·   The use of the power easement as developed open space is excellent.

·   For a project this large there is little neighborhood continuity.

·   Streets run from east to west with no access to the next street.

·   Given the acreage available, a significantly better neighborhood design can be created.

·   The Red Rock Design Overlay is abutting on the west side.

·   The current lot standard in the Red Rock Design Overlay is 1 unit per 2 acres.

·   The density along Hualapai Way is too high given the abutting overlay.

·   The lighting standards are significantly more restrictive in the Red Rock Design Overlay.

 

The TAB opinion is that this project is too dense abutting the Red Rock Design overlay district.  West of Hualapai Way the lot size is 80,000 sq. ft. minimum.  This is not a good transition.  There should be significant larger lots in the western portion of this project to provide a transition to a much lower density land use.

 

The TAB is also concerned that the proposed density will strain the public and commercial services this far to the west. Urban Land Use Policy # 6 states, “the cumulative impact developments will have on area services including fire, police, water, sewer, roads, schools, and adjacent municipalities should be considered.”

 

The Red Rock Design Area uses rural road standards and limits the design of street lighting.  As a transition measure the TAB recommends that street lights be fully shielded and only used at street intersections.

 

The TAB questioned the east-west street pattern.  The street pattern segregates each private street from the overall development reducing the sense of community.  Urban Land use policy # 7 encourages complementary land uses to provide appropriate connectivity and not be segregated.  The TAB does not consider this project design as meeting the new Urban Land Use Policies.

 

 20.   UC-0775-15 – ALLEN, JAMES & SUSAN:

APPROVED per staff conditions with tower limited to 60 feet.

 

USE PERMIT to allow a proposed communication tower.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed communication tower and associated equipment in conjunction with an existing single family residence on a portion of 4.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Camero Avenue, 270 feet east of Cimarron Road within Enterprise.  SB/dg/ml (For possible action) 01/05/16 PC

 

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB December 9, 2015: HELD to the December 30, 2015 TAB meeting per prior request of the applicant. (Not previously heard)

 

There were representatives of two housing developers and two neighbors in opposition to this project.  The two neighborhood meeting had 15 neighbors in favor and 1 opposed.

 

The opposition concerns are:

The proposed tower would spoil the rural character of the neighborhood.

The tower is too tall.

Cell towers do not belong in residential area.

 

The favorable concerns are:

Cell service in the area has become spotty with the increased development.

The water tank design is an excellent fit in the rural area.

The wrought iron fence and equipment structure matching the house architecture is a good standard for the RNP-1 areas.

 

The applicant demonstrated that there is a hole in their coverage and capacity for the area.  The proposed location is approximately the center of that capacity and coverage hole.  There was a suggestion to move the proposed tower to a commercial area.  However, the nearest commercial area would not provide the same capacity and coverage.

 

The proposed design is the best fit for the RNP areas the TAB has seen.

 

The TAB asked the representatives of the two housing developers whether they had a design that would be acceptable to them, but they did not.

 

There is a concern that an 80-foot tower maybe be too tall for the neighborhood.  The TAB recommended a lower tower height.

 

21.         ZC-0738-15 – USA:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 20.0 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to P-F (Public Facility) Zone.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed elementary school on 14.0 acres.  Generally located on the east side of Arville Street, 660 feet north of Windmill Lane within Enterprise (description on file).  ss/pb/ml (For possible action) 01/06/16 BCC

 

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB December 9, 2015: HELD to the December 30, 2015 TAB meeting per prior request of the applicant. (Not previously heard)

 

This is an excellent site for a school without the constraints of other locations.  The parking seems to be adequate for an elementary school and has approximately 1800 ft. of vehicle stacking available for drop-off and pick-up.  The queuing situation for this site is much better than other locations.

 

GENERAL BUSINESS:

 

TAB receive update and discuss the Community Plan Work Group. (For possible action)

 

Mr. Chestnut presented the TAB with a written discussion of the Rural Neighborhoods and suggestions to amend policy and Title 30 standards.  He requested that TAB members be ready to discuss this topic at the next TAB meeting.
