VI.  Planning & Zoning

 

1.   UC-0669-16 – J I A LONG HOLDINGS, LLC:

Motion to:

DENY

ADD current planning if approved condition

·         Design review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

Per staff if approved conditions.

Motion PASSED.

 

USE PERMIT for a congregate care facility with accessory commercial uses.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a congregate care facility on 5.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the southwest corner of Erie Avenue and Bermuda Road within Enterprise. SS/al/raj  (For possible action)     PC 11/15/16

 

PREVIOUS ACTION: Enterprise TAB October 26, 2016:  HELD to November 9, 2016 TAB per agreement of applicant to meet with neighbors.

 

The applicant’s position is:

·         The requested use is permitted subject to a special use permit in the existing R-E district.

·         The subject parcel is a five acres gross, satisfying the minimum 80,000 sq. ft. lot size requirement.

·         The parcel is adjacent to, and accessed from, "a collector or arterial street," at the SWC of Bermuda and Erie.

·         The building is designed with a residential appearance, with "concrete tile and masonry or stucco wall construction."

·         Appropriate landscape and setback buffers have been included in the design. This recognizes the existing residential across the three abutting streets and allows for the very low density residential presently planned to the south of the subject parcel.

·         The proposed project fills an important community need and complies with all of Clark County's standards.

·         It is designed to blend in architecturally with the surrounding residential uses and is buffered by streets, landscaping and setbacks. This should preclude any negative impacts on the area.

·         As a skilled nursing facility (not a hospital or clinic), no significant traffic impacts are anticipated.

 

Neighborhood comments:

·  Neighbors to the north found the project to be acceptable after they found out it was a care facility and not apartments.

·  A neighborhood meeting was not held.

·  Neighbors to the west are opposed to the project.

·  The building is too large for the neighborhood.

·  Use is not appropriate in this section of the RNP.

·  Large project in a low-density area.

 

The TAB considered the following:

·  Staff is opposed to this project because it does not comply with several Urban Land Use policies.

·  The building is approximately 500 X 150 feet and 34 ft. high.

oVery difficult to buffer a building that size in a low-density area.

oNearest building of comparable size is Liberty High School.

·  Bermuda Rd. is the eastern RNP-1 border.

oNumerous large lot properties have been developed in the RNP-1 along Bermuda Rd.

oHenderson zoning RS-6 to the east is 6 units/acre.

oApplicant compared RS-6 to County R-3.

oHenderson RS-6 less dense than County R-2.

·  No mention of rural road standards for Fairfield Ave (local street within the RNP-1).

·  Applicant stated there would be 12 staff members on any given shift.

·  With 143 beds this number seems low for a skilled nursing facility.

·  Not able to determine if parking is adequate due to lack of accurate staffing numbers.

·  No information for lighting and signage.

 

Had this property been developed with a campus cottage setting, it would be more acceptable for the area.  The building mass is too great for this location and will have a determinantal effect on the neighborhood development.  The TAB recommends this application be denied.

 

If the application is approved, a Design Review for lighting and signage should be added to minimize the impact on the established residence.  Also, Fairfield Ave. should be developed to Rural Road Standards.

 

Note: The applicant had one diagram plot plan and no copies for the TAB members.  This made it very difficult for the TAB members to evaluate the project details.  Most applicants provide a plot diagram for each TAB member to review.

 

2.   DR-0737-16 – MAVERICKVEGAS, LLC:

HELD by the applicant until November 30, 2016 TAB meeting.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 

 

1) proposed retail/restaurant buildings with drive-thru windows; and

2) a proposed ATM structure within an existing shopping center

 

on 0.8 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District. Generally located on the east side of Maryland Parkway, 900 feet south of Silverado Ranch Boulevard within Enterprise. SS/gc/raj (For possible action)     PC 12/6/16

 

3.   VS-0713-16 – STANLEY, SEAN:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Cougar Avenue and Wigwam Avenue, and between Duneville Street and Westwind Road, and a portion of a right-of-way being Duneville Street located between Cougar Avenue and Wigwam Avenue within Enterprise (description on file). SB/rk/mcb (For possible action        PC       12/6/16

 

4.   WS-0733-16 – TLF LOGISTICS II ELDORADO BUSINESS CENTER, LLC:

DENY

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow a wall sign to face an adjacent residential development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a wall sign for a tenant space within an existing office/warehouse complex on a portion of 15.1 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-60 & AE-65) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.  Generally located on the west side of Dean Martin Drive and the north side of Eldorado Lane within Enterprise. SS/gc/ml (For possible action)     PC 12/6/16

 

This item is the result of a CCPRO complaint.  The TAB consider the following:

·         CCPRO complaint.

·         Applicant is located mid-way into the complex.

·         Sign is not visible from a public right of way.

·         The intense landscape buffer is poorly maintained. Thus, is not an effective buffer.

·         Given the number of businesses in this location, approval would set a poor precedent.

 

5.   DR-0727-16 – WARMJONES HOLDING, LLC:

 

Motion to:

APPROVE

ADD current planning if approved condition

·         Design review as a public hearing for lighting and signage.

·         Establish perpetual cross access and shared parking with properties to the north and south.

Per staff conditions.

Motion PASSED.

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) a proposed restaurant building with a drive-thru window; and

2) a proposed vehicle maintenance facility

 

on 0.9 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the CMA Design Overlay District. Generally located on the east side of Jones Boulevard, 300 feet north of Warm Springs Road within Enterprise.  SS/gc/raj  (For possible action)     BCC 12/7/16

 

Lighting and signage were not part of the application.  Because residential is to the west of this project, lighting and signage should be reviewed with a public Design Review.

 

The TAB could not determine if a cross access and shared parking agreement were in place for this commercial center.  The TAB added a condition for these items.

 

Future restaurant applications should include seating capacity to help determine if the parking is adequate.

 

6.   DR-0736-16 – MAVERIK, INC:

APPROVED per staff conditions

ADD current planning condition:

·         Move the RV fuel pumps as close to Blue Diamond as practical.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a proposed convenience store with a gasoline station on 2.4 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay District. Generally located on the southwest corner of Blue Diamond Road and Durango Drive within Enterprise. SB/rk/mcb  (For possible action)       BCC 12/7/16

 

This application is for changes to the original design submitted.  The conditions attached to the original zoning action are still in force.  The applicant will construct a temporary entry on Blue Diamond Rd. until the property to the west is developed and a single entry/exit point is established between Durango Drive to Arlington Ranch Blvd.

 

The 0.8-acre C-1 parcel to the south is now being used by Maverik for a larger buffer and driveway area.

 

Moving the RV fuel pumps closer to Blue Diamond Rd. will increase the separation from the residential to the south.

 

7.   NZC-0129-13 (ET-0142-16) – D.R. HORTON, INC.:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

ZONE CHANGE FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to reclassify 15.2 acres from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone and M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zone to R-2 (Medium Density Residential) for a single family residential development. Generally located on the east side of Rainbow Boulevard and the south side of Mountains Edge Parkway within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/co/ml  (For possible action)

BCC 12/7/16

 

8.   UC-0708-16 – BARTSAS MARY 10, LLC:

HELD by the applicant to November 30, 2016 TAB meeting.

 

USE PERMITS for the following:

 

1) retail uses;

2) restaurants;

3) alcohol, on-premises consumption (taverns/bars/supper clubs);

4) a convenience store,

5) vehicle wash (automobile); and

6) a gasoline station within a shopping center.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) alternative landscaping buffer along a street; and

2) allow non-standard improvements within the right-of-way.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for a shopping center on 4.9 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone and an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone in the MUD-1 and MUD-4 Overlay Districts. Generally located on the south side of Cactus Avenue and the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard South within Enterprise. SS/pb/ml (For possible action)     BCC 12/7/16

 

The staff indicated the tavern is in a H-2 zone district.  The TAB noted that on premises alcohol consumption is allowed in H-2 only under very strict conditions which cannot be waived.  The tavern appears not to meet the conditions for approval.  The TAB requested the applicant resolve the issue before a recommendation can be made.

 

9.   VS-0709-16 - BARTSAS MARY 10, LLC:

HELD by the applicant to November 30, 2016 TAB meeting.

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Las Vegas Boulevard South and Giles Street and between Cactus Avenue and Conn Avenue (alignment), and a portion of right-of-way being Giles Street located between Cactus Avenue and Conn Avenue (alignment) within Enterprise (description on file).  SS/pb/ml  (For possible action)      BCC 12/7/16

 

10. TM-0053-16 (WC-0143-16) – D.R. HORTON, INC.:

NO RECOMMINDATION, Dave Chestnut, TAB member, was appointed by the TAB to coordinate with all parties to resolve the issues associated with this application.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a tentative map requiring right-of-way dedication to include 30 to 60 feet for Meranto Avenue, 30 to 60 feet for Montessouri Street, 30 to 60 feet for Rosanna Street, 30 feet for Richmar Avenue, and all associated spandrels in conjunction with a single family residential development on 17.1 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the north and south sides of Meranto Avenue and the east and west sides of Montessouri Street within Enterprise. SB/co/ml (For possible action) BCC 12/7/16

 

The TAB did not have sufficient information to resolve the residents’ concerns.  The vacation of Rosanna St., north of Meranto Ave., is divided between 2 applicants. There have been several applications over 4 years.  This has created a lot of confusion that the TAB is not able to resolve.

12. WS-0724-16 – INTERLINKS, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVE Design Review with the following changes and conditions.

ADD Current planning conditions;

·         Free standing sign to be no higher than 25 feet.

·         Free standing sign with an animated area reduced to 50 sq. ft. or less.

·         North building elevation wall signage as shown by the applicant.

·         West building elevation wall signage converted to monument signs along Mohawk St. and directional signs.

·         No wall mounted signs on the eastern building elevation.

DENY; Waivers of Development Standards.

Per staff conditions.

Motion PASSED.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 

 

1) increased animated sign area; and

2) allow wall signs to face adjacent residential development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for signage in conjunction with an approved medical office building on 2.1 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone within the MUD-3 Overlay District. Generally located on the southeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Mohawk Street within Enterprise. SB/pb/raj  (For possible action)         BCC 12/7/16

 

The TAB found the proposed sign package to be excessive and in some instances, ineffective.

 

The TAB considered:

·         This is an infill site that is easily identifiable. 

·         Residential on 3 sides

·         The elevations presented revealed a cluttered appearance due to excessive signage.

·         Signs along Blue Diamond Rd., outside shopping centers, are 25 ft. or less with a single free standing sign.

·         Star Nursery, opposite this location, has a single unlit monument sign (a large rock).

·         T-Bird Tavern only wall mounted signs.

·         The other medical facility at Blue Diamond Rd. and Decatur Blvd is not using a free standing sign.

 

The TAB recommends one freestanding sign limited to 25 ft. and animated sign area limited to 50. sq. ft.  The east elevation wall signs are not effective due to line of site restriction and facing residential.  The northern elevation, facing Blue Diamond Rd., wall signage is acceptable. The western elevation wall signs should be converted to monument signs along Mohawk St.  This would lessen the impact on the abutting residential.
