DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed recreational area (community pool and amenities) in conjunction with a partially developed single family residential development on a 0.2 acre portion of 40.0 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone in the MUD-1 Overlay District.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Starr Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/rk/ml  (For possible action) 06/07/16 PC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

This is an excellent addition to the subdivision.  The applicant has removed 2 house lots to give the neighborhood recreational facilities that are not available in the area.

 

2.                  SC-0235-16 – UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS, ET AL:

STREET NAME AND NUMBER CHANGE for the following: 1) to rename Pamalyn Avenue east of Gilespie Street to Carpenters Union Way; and 2) have a non-standard address of 101 Carpenters Union Way in conjunction with an existing training center on 14.3 acres in a M-1 (Light Manufacturing) (AE-60) (AE-65) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Gilespie Street and on Pamalyn Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/bk/ml  (For possible action) 06/07/16 PC

 

APPROVE per staff “if approved” conditions and,

Request #2 withdrawn by applicant;

 

Pamalyn Ave. is not a through street in this area.  The Carpenters Union is expanding along the affected road section including the purchase of a motel for housing.  No other business will be affected by the address change.  The actual address number is still under discussion to insure emergency services can respond to the property without confusion.

 

The TAB opinion is the actual street number should be coordinated between the address Staff and the applicant.

 

3.                  VS-0237-16 – jones 215, llc:

VACATE AND ABANDON a portion of a right-of-way being Pama Lane located between Torrey Pines Drive and Jones Boulevard and a portion of right-of-way being Mann Street located between Roy Horn Way and Maule Avenue within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/co/ml  (For possible action) 06/07/16 PC

4.                  UC-0111-89 (WC-0047-16) – ENSWORTH & FORD i SERIES OF THE AFI, LLC:

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS: of a use permit for an off-premise sign requiring applicant to have the sign removed if property otherwise develops.  Generally located on the east side of I-15 and 300 feet south of Ford Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/jvm/ml  (For possible action) 06/07/16 PC

 

APPROVE per staff conditions

 

The condition was a result of an attempt to beautify the interstate roads in the late 1980s.  The staff position is that it is too early to remove the condition until the property is developed.  Given the size of the property and the location it is not likely it will be developed in the near future.

 

The TAB recommends the waiver be removed.  One TAB member agreed with the staff position to keep the waiver in place.

DESIGN REVIEW                                                                  APPROVE

ADD a Current Planning condition:

·         Homes be restricted to one story only

 

The applicant has worked closely with the neighbors to produce an RNP compatible design.  The design components are:

 

·     The lots are terraced and there is an attempt to closely match the finished height of adjoining properties.

·     Rosanna St. is being dedicated.

·     The walls entering the cul-de-sacs will decrease in height from side of the home to the pavement to present an open look.

·     All single story models. (applicant condition).

 

The TAB recommendation is the Waiver of Development Standards apply only to the lots that front on a cul-de-sac.    The cul-de-sac were listed as common elements on the Tentative Map which requires the setback be taken from the pavement edge not the centerline. The cul-de-sac will be maintained by the residents through a road maintenance agreement.  The cul-de-sac roads are essentially private roads and should be treated that way.

 

Setbacks along public roads should not be reduced.

 

9.                  WS-0255-16 – FINDLAY FAMILY PROPERTIES LP:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:  1) waive trash enclosure requirements; 2) waive landscaping requirements; 3) increase wall height; 4) permit a large parking area where parking areas shall be designed as a series of smaller connected parking courts; 5) waive requirements for cross access and shared parking easements; 6) waive requirements for enhanced paving; 7) permit tandem parking spaces where not permitted; and 8) permit an alternative parking layout.

WAIVERS OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-2006-03) for the following:  1) right-of-way dedication to include 30 feet for Mann Street, and 40 feet for Badura Avenue; and 2) drainage and traffic studies and compliance.

DESIGN REVIEW for a parking lot including parallel parking spaces on 5.0 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the CMA Design and MUD-3 Overlay Districts.  Generally located between Maule Avenue (alignment) and Badura Avenue (alignment) 300 feet east of Torrey Pines Drive (alignment) within Enterprise.  SS/al/ml  (For possible action) 06/08/16 BCC

DESIGN REVIEW                              APPROVE

ADD Current Planning conditions:

·         Design Review as a Public Hearing for lighting and signage;

·         West property line to have decorative wall or fence (not chain-link);

 

This was a difficult application for two reasons.  First, the property is subject to the CMA design standards which were setup for warehouse developments.  The applicant was able to obtain C-2 zone district and is developing the property as a general commercial zone.  The CMA standards were not designed for auto dealership projects.  Second, the public works analysis and conditions on Mann St. were inconsistent.

 

The TAB examined this project as it fits into the area development.  The items considered were:

·     The area is developing as auto dealerships and related services.

·     This an excellent area for auto dealerships.

o        Residential has been limited to south of Badura Ave.

o        Residential developments south of Badura Ave. use Arby Ave. for entry/exit.

·     There is a need for test drive roads in non-residential areas. Maule Avenue

·     The dedication of Mann St., north of Badura Ave., could allow test drives easy access to residential areas south of Badura Ave.

·     Many of the CMA warehouse design standards are not appropriate to auto dealerships.

·     Lighting and signage were not presented in this application.

·     The landscaping and wall design are excellent along Badura Ave. and Maule Ave.

·     Chain link fences are not suitable for permanent commercial locations.

·     The TAB agrees with the applicant that the western decorative wall/fence should be a combination of block and wrought iron. 

·     The use of wrought iron reduces the heat retention of a block wall.

     Cheryl Wilson questioned whether signage is as necessary now as it has been in the past, given technology most people use when seeking directions (i.e. mobile apps, GPS systems, electronic mapping, etc.)  She feels it may be time to review existing sign standards.

     Dave Chestnut questioned whether freestanding signs are appropriate on smaller commercial developments.

     Chairman Frank Kapriva requested a discussion item regarding signage on the 06-01-16 ETAB agenda.
