Planning & Zoning

 

1.        Discuss and direct Staff accordingly required possible changes to Clark County’s Title 30 parking requirements (For possible action).  (For the complete document see http://www.lvswan.org/Parking_study.pdf )

 

The parking study is the result of County Commissioner direction.  An outside consultant examined four shopping areas for parking use.  Then stakeholders were consulted to produce the draft documents presented to the TAB.

 

 The TAB comments were as follows:

·   The rapid transit and mass transit facilities are not sufficiently developed within the valley to support the suggested parking requirements.

o        The hot weather was not considered when prescribing how far people would have to walk to rapid/mass transit and then to their destination.

o        It will be many years before rapid/mass transit are developed sufficiently to support reduced parking requirements.

o        If the proposed parking standards are adopted, it will harm businesses and their patrons.

·   The parking recommendations appear focused on high density urban environment, not suburban/rural areas predominant in Enterprise.

·   Enterprise already has insufficient parking in some areas.

o        The current and proposed parking standards are based on square footage.

o        The square footage standard needs to be coupled with other metrics such as the number of seats and the length of the patrons’ visit.

o        This would apply to movie theaters, sit down restaurants, churches and other uses.

·   The over park decision should rest with the business owner.

o        How the over parking is accommodated should be the business owner’s decision.

o        Studies should not be required to park over the county standard.

o        The proposed parking studies change the county from a minimum parking standard to a maximum standard.

·   The proposal is overly optimistic on bicycle use.

·   Long term bicycle stay requirements are not practical and should be eliminated.

·   The elimination of the diamond planter box is being replaced by larger planter beds and should be encouraged.

·   The proposed parking spaces are not long enough or wide enough for larger vehicles.

·   The drive aisles do not provide enough turning or maneuvering room for larger vehicles.

 

2.        ADR-0727-14 (ET-0129-16) – HUGHES FAMILY #6, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVED per staff conditions;

ADD current planning conditions:

    Design Review as a public hearing for significant changes to plans.

    Design Review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

Motion PASSED

 

ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence a retail building in conjunction with an existing shopping center on 0.3 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone. Generally located on the southwest corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Eldorado Lane within Enterprise. SS/co/raj (For possible action)            PC 11/1/16

 

The TAB commented the proposed business will be an excellent addition to the area merchants.

 

Lighting and signage were not covered in the application.  The TAB recommends these two items be subject to a public Design Review to keep them consistent with the adjoining businesses.

 

The TAB requests a condition for Design Review for significant changes to plans as a public hearing because the project has been proposed for two years and may change in the future. 

 

3.        NZC-0648-16 – LV SILVERADO WEST, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVED per staff conditions;

Zone Change limited to 362 units

CHANGE current planning Bullet # 9 to include a Design Review for lighting;

ADD current planning conditions:

    Design Review as a public hearing for significant changes to plans.

Motion PASSED

 

ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 19.8 acres from C-2 (General Commercial) Zone to R-4 (Multiple Family Residential - High Density) Zone.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed multiple family residential development. Generally located on the north side of Silverado Ranch Boulevard and the east side of Gilespie Street within Enterprise (description on file). SS/dg/ml  (For possible action)   PC 11/1/16

 

This parcel has been the subject of several land use changes over several years, some bitterly opposed by the neighbors.  The current application is the result of negotiations between the applicant, abutting residents, Commissioner Sisolak and Staff.  This resulted in the overall unit count being reduced and several conditions being agreed to.

 

The applicant requested a density of 18.3 units/acre.  This is just above the R-3 limit of 18 units/acre.  The TAB proposed the zone change be limited to 18.3 units per acre.  The applicant countered with a limit of 362 apartment units.  The unit level was agreed to and recommended as a zone change condition.

 

Signage Design Review is a Current Planning condition.  The TAB requests a lighting design review be added to the Current Planning condition.  The TAB is particularly concerned with adjacent homes that are side loaded on the northern property line.

 

Any significant changes to plans should be reviewed as a Design Review given the extensive negotiations to move this project forward.  The TAB recommends a Design Review as a public hearing for significant changes to plans.

 

4.        VS-0644-16 – PRESTIGE FAMILY GROUP, LLC:

Held by applicant to October 26, 2016 Enterprise TAB meeting to consult with Public Works.

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Sunset Road and Rafael Rivera Way, and between Torrey Pines Drive and El Camino Road within Enterprise (description on file). SS/co/raj (For possible action)   PC 11/1/16

 

5.        VS-0645-16 – D.R. HORTON, INC:

DENIED

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Meranto Avenue and Serene Avenue (alignment) and between Rosanna Street and Rainbow Boulevard within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/jvm/raj  (For possible action)  PC 11/1/16

 

This application is confusing for several reasons:

·   The section of Rosanna St. in question has been vacated by two applicants. 

·   The explanations of how the two vacation applications effect the Rosanna St. and the residents on it has not been presented to the TAB by the Staff.

·   The application described the easement to be vacated as the western side of Rossana St. north of Meranto Ave. to the Wal-Mart property line.

·   The applicant’s presentation was for the east side of Rossana north of Meranto Ave. to the Wal-Mart property line.

·   The application did not include a detailed vacate and abandon description vs. the justification letter description.

·   The applicant stated the west side of Rossana was a private agreement between the resident and Wal-Mart and did not want to get involved.

·   The TAB believes the requirement for documented legal access make it a public matter.

·   The TAB could not determine if the conditions for the Wal-Mart vacate and abandon have been met.

 

Other questions that were not resolved:

What happens to the residents’ street address when the street is vacated?

How is the residence location resolved by emergency service?

How are Republic Services pick ups handled when the right-of-way is vacated?

Is access to the wellhead guaranteed?

 

Due to the lack of accurate information the TAB decided the best course of action was to recommend application be denied.

10.      UC-0652-16 – BERMUDA BUILDING, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVED per staff conditions;

CHANGE use permit #3 to reduce setback to 7 ft. reduction;

ADD current planning conditions:

·   Design Review as a public hearing lighting and signage;

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

Motion PASSED

1) convenience store;

2) gasoline station; and

3) reduce the setback of a gasoline station from a residential use.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-0912-08) requiring the trash enclosure to be moved to the northwest corner of the site.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) convenience store; and

2) gasoline station on 1.9 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone.

 

Generally located on the south side of Warm Springs Road and the west side of Bermuda Road within Enterprise. SS/gc/mcb  (For possible action)  BCC 11/2/16

 

The application was opposed by a resident because there are already sufficient convenience stores and gas stations in the immediate vicinity.

 

The applicant requested one waiver for an eighth fuel pump.  The eighth fuel pump was to be added later, if needed.  The TAB recommend this pump be eliminated.  This would reduce the setback waiver from residential to 7 Ft. or a 3.5% reduction.  The applicant agreed with this change.

 

Lighting and signage were not presented in this application and the applicant intends to bring those items forward in another application.

 

The project design has cross access to the other adjacent commercial parcels and included 42 parking places.

 

Due to the residential properties in the neighborhood, any significant changes to plans should be reviewed as a public Design Review.

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) proposed retail center including a tavern; and

2) increased finished grade

 

for a proposed retail center on 4.5 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone within the MUD-1 and MUD-4 Overlay Districts. Generally located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard South and the north side of Starr Avenue within Enterprise.  SS/pb/ml  (For possible action)            BCC 11/2/16

 

The TAB recommends this application be approved with the suggested additional conditions.  The proposed tavern meets all Title 30 Standards.

 

The neighbors were concerned with the following:

·      Having a tavern in the neighborhood.

·      Design of the tavern.

·      Design of the three additional pads.

·      What would be visible to residents?

·      What uses would be on the future pads?

·      How would the powerline easement be handled by the applicant?

 

The TAB considered the following:

·   The application is for a Design Review as the zoning was previously granted.

·   The tavern meets all Title 30 standards.

·   Uses on the future 3 pads should be reviewed due to residential uses to the east.

·   Lighting and signage were not included in the application.

·   Cross access to the north was not provided.

·   Applicant’s engineer stated cross access may not be possible due to grade differences.

·   The property does not have an easement for the powerline.

·   Residents requested a higher wall along the eastern boundary and applicant agreed to an 8 ft. wall.

·   Applicant’s engineer stated that no more than 5 Ft. of fill would be required for the site.

 

Based on the TAB considerations the recommendation is to approved the project with the 4 additional conditions.

 

14.      WS-0665-16 – TENAYA EDGE, L.P.:

Motion to:

APPROVED

Waiver of Development standards, Design Review # 2;

Deny

Waiver of Conditions, Design Review # 1

ADD current planning conditions:

    Comply with Mountain’s Edge architectural color pallet, Lighting standards and landscape pallet;

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce street off-set.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change (ZC-0613-06) requiring right-of-way dedication to include 40 feet for drainage and paseo along the Tenaya Way (alignment) in conjunction with a proposed single family residential development.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) a proposed single family residential development; and

2) increased finished grade on 4.7 acres

 

in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone. Generally located on the south side of Mountains Edge Parkway and the east side of Tenaya Way (alignment) within Enterprise. SB/lm/ml (For possible action)           BCC 11/2/16

 

The Tenaya Way paseo was planned as a 40 ft. wide drainage and linear park as part of Mountain’s Edge Master Plan.  The 2006 zone change for this property required the paseo be dedicated.

 

The applicant position:

·      The paseo is fully built out and the dedication is no longer needed.

·      The applicant will extend the sidewalk to one side of the cul-de-sacs.

·      The sub division will be built per Mountain’s Edge Guidelines.

·      Intersection offset is due to Tenaya Way alignment.

 

The TAB considerations:

·   The staff has cited several policies that do not support the applicant’s request to vacate the paseo.

·   The paseo is part of a linear park and should be developed as such.

·   Only one other instance of reduced paseo width can be found in Mountain’s Edge.

·   All other sections of the paseo have been developed to the 40 ft. width.

·   The paseo, adjacent to the applicant’s property, could be developed with additional passive amenities.

·   Linear park space should not be removed to add additional homes.

 

The TAB recommends the paseo be developed as a linear park as originally planned.  The Design Review for the development is not consistent with the paseo development and should be denied.  The project needs to be redesigned to accommodate the paseo.

 

15.      ZC-0169-16 – LEGEND EXPO GROUP, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVED per staff if approved conditions;

Motion PASSED

 

AMENDED HOLDOVER ZONE CHANGE to reclassify 2.5 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to M-D (Designed Manufacturing) Zone for an office/warehouse facility in the CMA Design Overlay District.

 

The Tenaya Way paseo was planned for 40 ft. wide drainage and linear park as part of Mountain’s Edge Master Plan.  The 2006 zone change for this property required the paseo be dedicated.

1) reduce parking (not previously notified);

The staff recommended denial of this application due to reduced parking and possible future parking requirements if the use changes.

 

The TAB considered the following:

·   The applicant intends to occupy the entire building.

·   The surrounding property uses are not conducive to cross access.

·   There is no opportunity for additional parking once this site is constructed.

·   The site is surrounded with a security fence.

·   Any other use would have to consider the reduced parking as part of their due diligence, and not likely lease or purchase the property, if more than 60 parking spaces were required.

 

The TAB recommends the application be approved including all Waivers of Development Standards.

 

16.      ZC-0656-16 – MAILLAND, JUAN AND LIGIA:

This application is in Arden.  The Arden area is being examined for possible development as a business park requiring rail service.  If a rail business park is created the current offsites may be removed to create a circulation system required for rail service. 

 

The applicant requests would result in their property being developed in a manner like other developed properties in the area.  Until the future development of Arden is determined, the installation of offsites should be delayed.
