Public Works – Development Review condition:1
·
All pole mounted lighting and street
lighting to be fully shielded;
The NZC is for 2.5 acres of a 15-acre
project. The zone change removes the
last segment of neighborhood commercial from the area.
The applicant presented a fill
diagram that indicated the maximum amount of fill to be 3.5 ft. The applicant stated the grading will be
terraced from west to east. However, the applicant was not able to detail the
project wall heights need. The fill
amounts indicate wall heights greater than allowed by Title 30 will be
required. Due to uncertainty, the TAB added two conditions related to wall
height. Both conditions pertain to walls
adjacent to public roads. Any wall over
6 ft. as measured for the center of the adjacent road, to be terraced and
landscaped or rockscaped.
The TAB has consistently recommended
that all pole mounted lighting including street slighting be fully
shielded. It appears the Dark Sky
lighting concept will be adopted with the Master Transportation Plan update. This will require all the street lights to be
fully shielded.

DESIGN REVIEW for a
proposed shopping center. Generally located on the north side of
DENY
The TAB recommends denial for the
non-conforming zone change.
The applicant presented a design for
a shopping center with 114,500 square foot shopping center consisting of one,
50,000 square foot anchor store; 2 in-line retail buildings, and 5 pad
sites. The site is well parked and
provides cross access to undeveloped property to the west.
Lighting and signage were not
discussed or included in the application.
If the application goes forward a Design Review for lighting and signage
should be required.
The applicant indicated the property owners desire this change and the area is designated for
intense uses as part of the MUD-3 overlay.
The TAB agrees with the staff
analysis and recommendations:
·
A
compelling justification for a non-conforming zone change has been presented.
·
There
is sufficient
·
Current
C-2 development is more than sufficient to meet the consumer needs.
The
TAB added the following comments:
·
C-2
zone district, over the last five years, has been removed from the BDRP as each
land use plan was updated.
o
The
removal was triggered by commercial general projects removing opportunities for
primary job creation.
o
o
This
application is counter to and not consistent
·
This
area is set aside for primary job creation as the surrounding developments have
done.
o
The
BDRP must be preserved to create local primary job employment areas to avoid
long commutes to employment.
o
·
The
TAB experience is the MUD applications have been high density residential with
very little commercial.
o
The
MUD has been used to significantly change the character of a neighborhood.
o
The
applicants reference to MUD intensity is not an appropriate
comparison because of its high intensity residential uses.

TENTATIVE
DENY
The applicant presented the Tentative
Map which included the approved
The property owner for
The TAB opinion is the tentative map
as presented was a misrepresentation because the applicant does not have a
contract to purchase ANP 176-23-101-007.
The TAB requested that the applicant hold the application to resolved the property question. This request was rejected by the
applicant. The TAB believes it is
inappropriate to recommend approving a tentative map where the applicant does
not own or have under escrow all the included parcels.
Also noted by the TAB is that the
plots on the west side of the cul-de-sac are side loaded and do not meet the
intent for 50 ft. separation from the cul-de-sac. The road on the east side of the cul-de-sac
does provide separation but is a much greater intense use than a backyard.

This is an excellent sign and

intrusive. The sign will enhance the
neighborhood and provide an example for additional sign packages. The one TAB concern is wall mounted signs on
the east building elevation. There are
established residences along the eastern boundary approximately 100 ft.
away. The east elevation of the
building has a very limited sight line form
The TAB added a condition for the
wall mounted sign on the eastern building elevation not to be illuminated.

This is an excellent use for the
area. The TAB asked what is the seating for the two restaurants. The applicant did not have an answer. The concern is the number of parking places vs restaurants seating to determine parking needs.
The retail sales are part of the
restaurant operations, not separate stores.
The applicant withdrew Waiver of
Development Standards 1a.
The TAB added two conditions. First, lighting and signage were not covered
in the application. The TAB requests a
Design Review for lighting and signage.
The close proximity to McCarran runways may require special lighting
requirements. Second, the property to
the south is undeveloped. If compatible
uses are established, cross access and shared parking agreements should be
required. The applicant did show one
cross access point to the south.

APPROVE
per staff “if approved” conditions
This is well designed shopping
center. Changes have been made to the
design since the original approval in response to neighborhood comments.
The TAB was concerned with the size
and scope of the sign package. The
factor that set this project apart from other signage is the three lines of
landscaping between the residential wall mounted signs and free standing
signs. There are two lines of trees in
the parking area and landscaping along the northern border. The applicant will plant 24-inch box trees.
With sufficient irrigation the landscaping will buffer the resident form the
signs.

analysis on this property. C-2 uses are

The TAB opinion is the property
should be zoned C-1 in conformance with the Enterprise Land Use plan. There is some question if the parking is
adequate for the number of tenants and building space being constructed. The applicant did include cross access for
properties to the east and west.
The TAB has consistently recommended
that all pole mounted lighting including street slighting be fully
