[26:43] that it can be permitted and so at this
[26:45] point in time we would respectfully
[26:47] request your approval on this item and
[26:49] we are in agreement with all conditions
[26:51] of of if approved.
[26:53] » All right. Thank you sir. This was not
[26:54] as public hearing. Anyone want to be
[26:56] heard, please come forward, give your
[26:57] name and address for the record. Seeing
[26:59] none, I'm going close public hearing.
[27:00] Turn this over to Commissioner Taylor.
[27:02] » Um thank you chair. Good evening sir.
[27:04] Thanks for bringing another one of these
[27:06] down. Um, so can you The only issue I
[27:11] have with this one, um, is that it is a
[27:13] little different because it's enclosed.
[27:16] Um, and so you do, are there any other
[27:18] ones that have been enclosed on the
[27:20] streets as you've been talking to the
[27:22] neighbors and looking at these
[27:24] structures that really, you know, the
[27:26] structure themselves are really
[27:28] harmonious and compatible with this
[27:29] neighborhood and really part of the
[27:31] condition of the neighborhood now. But
[27:33] does anyone else have theirs enclosed?
[27:35] » Yes. So it's it's not fully enclosed.
[27:37] It's okay. The the the orientation of
[27:39] the lot is such to where he put these.
[27:42] So it started out as a carport as all of
[27:44] these did because they were all
[27:45] constructed by the same company. And
[27:47] then he added some lattice to the side
[27:50] just because of the the the sun, you
[27:52] know, the orientation of the of the
[27:54] sunlight. So it's not fully enclosed,
[27:56] but if you look at it, it does look like
[27:58] it's enclosed. But an answer to your
[28:00] simple answer, yes, there are others.
[28:03] And within a quarter mile of I I I
[28:05] won't, you know, put anything on the
[28:07] record, but within a quarter of a mile
[28:08] of this property, there are pro probably
[28:11] 30 other accessory structures that are
[28:13] very similar.
[28:14] » Okay. Um and then did you have any of
[28:18] the adjoining neighbors um
[28:22] oppose this?
[28:24] » No. And in fact, we were out I was
[28:26] actually out to the site here a couple
[28:27] days ago. We spoke with the neighbor to
[28:32] the south and to the east and if they
[28:35] had not submitted their letters of
[28:37] support, we do have those as well. We
[28:39] can but I believe they were already
[28:41] submitted for the record.
[28:43] » Okay. Okay. Um I if anybody has any
[28:48] other comments otherwise I'm ready to
[28:49] make a motion on this.
[28:50] » Please do.
[28:51] » Okay. On item 16, obeyance 26-0167
[28:55] VA1. I'd like to make a motion to
[28:56] approve.
[28:58] » Motion's on the floor. Please cast your
[29:00] vote.
[29:02] » Subject.
[29:02] » Oh, subject to all. He did say he was.
[29:04] Yes. But you agree to all conditions.
[29:06] » We're in agreement with all.
[29:07] » Okay. Thank you.
[29:11] » That motion carries.
[29:12] » And that is appreciated.
[29:15] » And that is final action tonight. Must
[29:16] appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.
[29:19] » All right. Thank you. Moving on to item
[29:21] 17, advanced 26-0173
[29:23] V1. Applicant owner uh Constasio Beltron
[29:29] for possible action on land use and
[29:30] entitlement project request to allow an
[29:32] existing home addition that does not
[29:34] conform to Title 19.06 development
[29:36] standards for setbacks at 2620 Los Verde
[29:40] Street W 3. Staff recommends now. Can we
[29:42] get the staff report, please?
[29:43] » Mr. Chair, this this request is the
[29:46] result of an open code enforcement case.
[29:48] The applicant is requesting a variance
[29:50] to allow an existing home addition
[29:51] within the rear yard that does not
[29:53] comply with minimum rear yard setbacks.
[29:55] The submitted floor plan indicates the
[29:57] additional space is utilized as a master
[29:59] bedroom for the home. Staff finds no
[30:01] unique or extraordinary evidence has
[30:03] been presented to warrant the requested
[30:05] variance to allow a 6ft rear yard
[30:07] setback where 15 ft is required for the
[30:09] addition in the rear yard. As such, the
[30:12] hardship is self-imposed and therefore
[30:13] staff recommends denial of this request.
[30:16] Thank you.
[30:17] » Thank you. Good evening, sir. Can we get
[30:18] your name and address for the record?
[30:20] » Yes. Uh, good evening. My name is Haime
[30:21] Dega. Address is 6944 Erin Circle, Las
[30:26] Vegas, Nevada, 89145.
[30:28] And I I represent the owner. The the
[30:31] owner, he tried to be here, but he's
[30:34] really sick at this time. And um this is
[30:38] the problem. The whole addition is 646
[30:42] square ft. But the problem is right here
[30:45] on this area uh on this part we have a
[30:49] 15 ft setback but just right here in
[30:52] this section is just 6 ft. So we kindly
[30:55] ask you to consider approval you know
[30:58] for this
[31:00] setback. There's no complaint with the
[31:02] rest. Now the architectural design will
[31:06] be compatible with the rest of the
[31:08] house.
[31:09] » Okay. Thank you.
[31:10] » Thank you.
[31:11] » This was not as a public hearing. Anyone
[31:13] want to be heard, please come forward.
[31:14] Seeing none, I'm close the public
[31:16] hearing and turn this over to plan
[31:17] commission.
[31:19] Let me ask you, is this already
[31:21] constructed?
[31:22] » Partially. Partially. And
[31:25] » Okay. And let me ask staff a question.
[31:27] Were was this a property that y'all were
[31:29] not able to get in the backyard to take
[31:31] photos of?
[31:33] » Um, no. This we were not um given access
[31:36] to go to the back of this house to get
[31:38] photos of this particular structure.
[31:40] This particular uh project was
[31:43] misnotified on the June meeting and the
[31:46] sign was placed across the street and
[31:47] that's why it was pushed to this
[31:49] meeting.
[31:50] » Okay. I'm looking at this and unless if
[31:53] I'm looking at it wrong, it looks like a
[31:55] 100% of the backyard is built out on
[31:57] Google Maps, not just what he's showing.
[31:59] Is that correct, sir?
[32:00] » Yeah, that's correct. But there's a lot
[32:02] of construction that was built here is
[32:05] already demolished because uh we told
[32:07] them that there's no way you know that
[32:09] get approved like like was before
[32:13] » But we we are always in touch with the
[32:15] code enforcement officer.
[32:16] » Let let me let me let me continue sir.
[32:19] So if if it truly is what you're talking
[32:21] about and it's only that one little
[32:23] section I could get behind that. But if
[32:28] staff goes out and finds that the whole
[32:30] yard's built and it's not demolished,
[32:32] then um this is I'm going to have a
[32:35] bigger issue with that. No, as today um
[32:38] most of the area that was built like all
[32:41] this is already gone and they also have
[32:44] an structure here is already gone and um
[32:47] so these plans are uh if we get the
[32:50] approval these plans are going to be
[32:52] ready to submit to to building
[32:54] department and it's going to be just
[32:55] like this exactly like this. I have I
[32:57] have no problem with that and when when
[33:00] it goes through permit and we'll have
[33:02] building inspectors come out and take a
[33:04] look to make sure that's the way it's
[33:05] built. But I have no other comments on
[33:07] that and considering that's the case.
[33:09] I'm I'm fine with this application. Does
[33:11] anybody have any comments on this?
[33:15] Okay, then I'll make a motion on this.
[33:17] On item number 17, uh bands 26-0173 V1
[33:22] move to approve subject to stats
[33:23] conditions. Do you agree to all staff
[33:25] conditions, sir? Yes, we agree.
[33:27] » Thank you. Motion's on the floor. Please
[33:29] cast your vote.
[33:37] » That motion carries.
[33:39] » And that is final action tonight unless
[33:40] appealed to the city clerk in 10 days.
[33:43] » Thank you.
[33:43] » Thank you, sir.
[33:44] » Moving on to item number 19. Advance
[33:47] 26-0236
[33:49] applicant KB Homes Las Vegas
[33:51] Incorporated owner SDE 600015
[33:54] for possible action on a following land
[33:57] use entitlement project request on north
[33:59] side of Iron Mountain Road approximately
[34:00] 970 ft west of Pulley Road W 6. Staff
[34:04] recommends approval. 19A is a 26-0236
[34:07] GPA1 from PCD planned community
[34:10] development and PF public facility to ML
[34:13] medium lowdensity residential. 19B

[34:18] ZON1 from UU uh undeveloped PCD plan
[34:22] community development PF public facility
[34:24] general plan destinations to RSL
[34:26] residential small lot. Can we get the
[34:28] staff report please?
[34:31] » Mr. Chairman, if you like u 19 20 and 21
[34:34] are all related. If you wanted to open
[34:36] them all up and then we could discuss
[34:38] them and and vote.
[34:46] Okay. 19, 20, and 21. Okay. Uh, let me
[34:50] read the other two into a record. 20 is
[34:52] 26-0280,
[34:54] applicant KB Home, Las Vegas, uh, owner,
[34:57] United States of America, for possible
[34:58] action on the following land use
[35:00] entitlement project request for the
[35:01] south side of Rodley Avenue
[35:04] approximately 970 ft west of Pulley
[35:07] Road, W 6. Staff recommends now. 20A is
[35:10] 26-0280
[35:13] VR1 to allow private gated streets do
[35:16] not conform to title 1904 complete
[35:18] street standards. 20B is 26-0280
[35:21] TMP1 Montero unit one for a proposed 62
[35:25] single uh 62 lot single family
[35:28] residential subdivision 21's 26- 0292
[35:31] applicant KB homes Las Vegas owner SD
[35:35] 600015
[35:36] for possible action on following land
[35:38] use entitlement project request on north
[35:39] side of Bradley Avenue approximately 970
[35:42] ft west of Pulley Road W 6 staff
[35:45] recommends now 21A 26-0292 to V1 to
[35:50] allow private gated streets do not
[35:51] conform to Title 19.04 complete street
[35:54] standards. 21B is 26-0292
[35:57] TMP1 Ontario unit 2 for proposed 60 unit
[36:01] single family residential subdivision.
[36:03] May we get the staff reports?
[36:06] » Mr. Chairman, the proposed general plan
[36:08] amendment and resoning are compatible
[36:10] with the designations and densities of
[36:12] the adjacent parcels and conform with
[36:15] the Kyle Canyon area plan and Las Vegas
[36:18] 2050 master plan. Parcels to the east
[36:21] were recently approved for low density
[36:23] residential general plan designation and
[36:25] reszoned RSL
[36:28] uh residential small lot with similar
[36:30] density range as the proposed request.
[36:33] Therefore, staff recommends approval of
[36:35] the general plan amendment and resoning.
[36:37] While both proposed tenative maps are
[36:40] consistent with the land use vision of
[36:42] the Kyle Canyon special area plan, the
[36:44] subdivisions failed to comply with the
[36:47] title 19 complete street standards. No
[36:50] unique or extraordinary circumstance
[36:52] related to the physical characteristics
[36:54] of the sites have been presented and the
[36:56] hardships are self-imposed. Therefore,
[36:58] staff recommends denial of both tenative
[37:00] maps and variance requests. Please note,
[37:03] additional documentation of support and
[37:06] protest was received after publication
[37:08] for items 20 and 21. Thank you.
[37:11] » Thank you. Good evening, sir.
[37:13] » Good evening, Mr. Chairman,
[37:15] commissioners. My name is Bob Gronower
[37:17] in 1980 Festival Plaza Drive. I'm here
[37:19] representing Katie Home on these matters
[37:22] that are before you. Um, as I can get
[37:24] your attention to the overhead, I'd like
[37:26] to just give you a little bit of
[37:27] background of this area and then we'll
[37:29] zero in on the uh property that you see
[37:32] highlighted here in yellow. Uh, the
[37:34] first thing I want to mention to you in
[37:36] this area here, this is known as the
[37:37] Kyle Canyon Gateway. Over the last sever
[37:40] several years, you have seen us come in
[37:43] with applications
[37:45] uh coming in with single family
[37:46] residential development. Uh, this is a
[37:49] US 95. This is the off-ramp here which
[37:52] takes you up to Kyle Canyon going up to
[37:54] Mount Charleston in this area. Um so as
[37:57] you can see here some of the development
[37:58] that's already existing in the area. Uh
[38:01] you've also approved other projects just
[38:03] recently down in this area here. These
[38:06] are all mainly single family detached
[38:08] homes. Um typically around uh 3,3500t
[38:13] lots. Uh you have another uh lot um
[38:16] subdivision in this area that's slightly
[38:17] a little bit larger up adjacent which we
[38:19] call the sheet mountain parkway as I
[38:21] show you here. This runs north and south
[38:24] in this area. This is that major
[38:26] arterial uh parkway that connects all
[38:28] the way down through Sky Canyon, Sky
[38:30] Hills and um um Sky Summit down in that
[38:34] area and down to 215. So this is a major
[38:37] arterial in this area. Then as you go
[38:40] west of Sheet Mountain Parkway um you
[38:42] see this right here. This is already
[38:44] under construction. This was just recent
[38:46] rec recently approved by you. It's a
[38:48] similar application that actually we are
[38:50] proposing tonight. This application here
[38:53] came in with medium low uh master
[38:55] planning which we're asking for tonight.
[38:57] Uh it's also got approved for RSL zoning
[39:00] which is um allows [clears throat]
[39:02] minimum 400 foot lots and they came in
[39:06] with the same variances that we're
[39:07] asking for for the variances for
[39:09] complete uh street standards. The reason
[39:12] why I point that out is is because you
[39:13] see in this area here, what has been
[39:15] trending is to be more 4,500 foot lot
[39:18] sizes um instead of the product that you
[39:21] see over here, which is more of the
[39:22] 3,3500
[39:24] foot lot product. So, we [clears throat]
[39:26] believe in this area here and as you go
[39:28] further west that you're getting a lower
[39:30] density and a bigger bigger lot product
[39:32] of what's being proposed. So, we do
[39:34] appreciate um staff's recommendation.
[39:37] These are actually two separate parcels.
[39:39] Uh the southern parcel is a parcel that
[39:42] KB home has picked up in the uh BLM
[39:44] auction which is a 10 acres down here
[39:47] and then this 10 acres which is located
[39:48] here approximately is in private hands.
[39:51] So total of the two uh properties comes
[39:54] out to about 21 acres total plus or
[39:56] minus in that area. So staff is
[39:58] recommending approval for the medium low
[40:02] land use plan and they're also
[40:03] recommending approval for the
[40:05] residential small lot zoning designation
[40:07] in this area. um because of everything I
[40:10] just mentioned to you as you see here.
[40:12] Um in addition [clears throat] to the
[40:15] master plan and the zone change, this is
[40:17] a zoning map in this area. As I said
[40:20] earlier, this is the off-ramp coming up
[40:22] off of US 95 along Kyle Canyon in this
[40:26] area. You can see the zonings that have
[40:28] been approved in this area. And then our
[40:31] property we're asking to be that same
[40:32] color in this area here. So, uh, that
[40:35] gives you a better perspective from the
[40:36] zoning of what you've se what you, uh,
[40:38] seen in the past.
[40:41] Next is, um, we have our two projects,
[40:44] which is I'm going to start with the one
[40:46] on the south, uh, south side of what we
[40:48] call Radley in this area here that I'm
[40:50] showing you. Uh, this is 62 homes. Uh,
[40:53] these 62 homes are going to be minimum
[40:56] 4,500 square uh, square foot lots. uh
[40:59] the density comes out to just up to
[41:01] about 5.7 units to the acre which is
[41:04] definitely compatible to about the 5.37
[41:07] 5.4 units an acre that is currently
[41:09] under construction in this area. As you
[41:12] can see here, parts of that project. Um,
[41:15] actually I I'll show you exactly what
[41:18] we're
[41:20] This is the adjacent project here. And
[41:22] the only reason why I'm showing you the
[41:23] adjacent project because what you'll see
[41:26] here, although it's been approved, it
[41:28] had does have a little bit less of open
[41:30] space of what we're proposing and it has
[41:32] the same type of street private street
[41:34] standards that that we're asking to to
[41:36] be approved. Also, uh that being said,
[41:39] you can see here we have a large green
[41:42] space area here for open space. This is
[41:44] more for usable open space, although
[41:46] we're not required to do so with with
[41:48] the RSL. Uh what we're asking to do is
[41:51] uh come in with some amenity plan. We do
[41:54] have a temporary uh amenity plan right
[41:57] now that we're putting together. Uh what
[41:59] I'd like to do is as we go through this
[42:01] process for the record is that we'll
[42:03] continue to work on the amenities within
[42:05] the area here as we go up through city
[42:08] council. Um and it's one of the
[42:11] [clears throat] things my client has
[42:12] asked to do as we try to figure out to
[42:14] finalize some of the amenities that we
[42:16] are proposing in this area. Um so that
[42:18] is um the south southern portion to the
[42:22] north of us um in this area. So if I
[42:25] could show on this map here
[42:32] and this is essentially what you would
[42:35] see uh for the development which as I
[42:38] said the road is rot radly located in
[42:40] here and the irony is this is all going
[42:42] to be one HOA um so we're going to have
[42:46] to have you're going to have access from
[42:48] one subdivision to the next since it's
[42:49] all under one HOA ownership. Um, and
[42:52] [clears throat] then in this area here
[42:54] on this plan to the north, uh, we have
[42:56] approximately 60 homes that we're
[42:58] proposing in here. And, uh, what we have
[43:01] though is for open space because in the
[43:05] area, which
[43:08] I should have shown you in the beginning
[43:10] is we have a fairly large wash that goes
[43:13] through the properties in this area. So,
[43:15] we we have to pipe this area here. As
[43:18] you can see, the wash that's going
[43:19] through for drainage. And when you take
[43:21] a look here is this is where we're going
[43:23] to have to put our pipe. And as you know
[43:25] where we put our pipe, we're going to
[43:26] have to have our open space in that
[43:27] area. So again, [clears throat] we're
[43:30] looking to program this area here as we
[43:32] go between planning commission, city
[43:34] council. Um we'd ask you to approve the
[43:37] applications that are before you for the
[43:40] uh general plan amendment, the zone
[43:42] change, tenative maps, and the variances
[43:45] that are before you today. So I'm here
[43:47] to answer any questions.
[43:48] » Thank you.
[43:50] This was noted as a public hearing.
[43:52] Anyone wanting to be heard, please come
[43:53] forward. Seeing none, I'm going to close
[43:55] the public hearing and turn this over to
[43:56] plan commission for discussion, possible
[43:58] action. Starting with Commissioner
[43:59] Taylor.
[44:00] » Uh, thank you, Chair. Thank you, Mr.
[44:02] Gronower. Um, as always, for your and
[44:05] your clients um diligent work on trying
[44:09] to bring projects up that fit with what
[44:12] um the vision for W six is, and we
[44:14] really appreciate the work that you
[44:15] always put into it. Um, couple of
[44:18] questions and I know you just sent over
[44:21] um some of the the working plans for
[44:23] your open space and that that is uh
[44:26] going to be, you know, part of the
[44:27] ongoing um iteration as you get to city
[44:30] council. But on the south side, um if
[44:34] you can flip to your open space plan, um
[44:39] I understand there's a general rule KB,
[44:41] one of your market segments is um our
[44:44] families, right? amilies.
[44:50] And I do hope that that's a permanent
[44:52] piece of it. But my question is for you,
[44:54] uh, does this include a shade structure
[44:57] over the play structure? And can we put
[44:59] a condition on there to be sure that it
[45:01] does?
[45:02] » Yeah, I was presuming there was a shade
[45:05] structure on that, but if you want to
[45:06] put a condition on that, you can. I I
[45:08] don't want to say yes for sure, but
[45:11] » But you don't have you don't have a
[45:13] problem with putting a condition on it
[45:14] to require shade structure. Okay. So, if
[45:15] staff can
[45:17] » Vet that up and then um
[45:21] » Uh what was the other thing I was going
[45:22] to ask? If you can go back to your
[45:23] walking trail because we I think we
[45:25] talked about this um on the north side.
[45:28] » On the north side. Yes.
[45:33] And then I have
[45:38] Do how long is that do you think? Like
[45:42] how long is the whole walking trail? And
[45:43] the only reason I ask is we didn't talk
[45:45] about this but I was think or maybe we
[45:47] did talk a little bit about it but um
[45:50] lighting even if it was sort of like
[45:52] footer lighting so it doesn't go into
[45:54] the houses but some kind of pathway
[45:55] lighting. Have we discussed
[45:57] » I thought we discussed that. Um there
[45:59] will be some lighting in that area. I I
[46:02] want I want to say we did discuss in
[46:04] this application. Um it's it's probably
[46:07] approximately 400 feet in in length
[46:10] there. Okay. I'm just doing some quick
[46:12] math with the 45 minimum square foot
[46:14] lots that we're backing up against. Um
[46:17] it it should be about 400 plus uh linear
[46:20] feet.
[46:22] » Okay. Um yeah. So just I don't know if
[46:24] again we need to put a condition on
[46:26] there that there be some type of low
[46:27] lighting.
[46:28] » We'll work with you through that, but I
[46:29] I'm almost sure we we discussed that at
[46:32] least I believe it was on this project.
[46:34] » All right. Thanks, Mr. grown hour. And
[46:35] then just the other thing I just want to
[46:36] point out, um, at the beginning of your
[46:39] presentation, you were talking about
[46:41] surrounding zoning and you know, we
[46:43] spent a lot of time uh, at the beginning
[46:46] of Councilwoman Brun's first term
[46:49] talking about what Kyle Canyon should
[46:51] look like. And I
[46:56] I don't know. I think the only thing
[46:59] that has been approved that are these
[47:01] smaller lots that you referenced, the
[47:03] 3500 would have been that prior council
[47:07] offic's approvals of Kyle Gateway and
[47:11] possibly the Summit Home Town Homes, but
[47:13] I don't think that we've approved
[47:15] anything that small. And I'm I'm double
[47:17] checking that, but and I only want to
[47:19] put that on the record again because we
[47:22] have talked extensively with with
[47:25] everybody developing up there that we
[47:27] want to make sure that the character
[47:30] quality, you know, the sort of like
[47:33] space of Kyle Canyon is got is
[47:36] maintained in a way that protects it.
[47:40] And we've we have in discussions about
[47:43] the overall holistic development talked
[47:45] about making sure that we are having
[47:48] larger lots as we go west and where the
[47:50] density is that it makes sense closer to
[47:52] the freeway where the summit town homes
[47:55] were. And so I just want to to make it
[47:57] clear that it is not my recollection
[47:59] that this um office has approved 3500
[48:03] lots square foot lots other than the
[48:06] town homes. And I I just want to make
[48:09] sure that we're kind of clear on the
[48:10] record. I believe also that some of the
[48:12] projects that we've approved that are to
[48:15] the east have been substantially larger
[48:18] lots. And so really if you're thinking
[48:20] about the trajectory, you know, we're
[48:23] kind of a little bit going backwards,
[48:25] but I know that you your client is
[48:27] trying to provide product to allow
[48:30] different ownership and like allow lots
[48:33] of different um folks to be able to come
[48:35] and live in this incredible area. But I
[48:37] just want to make sure that we're we're
[48:38] very clear for the record that
[48:40] continuing to bring forward smaller and
[48:42] smaller lots as we move west is not
[48:44] something that um I'm comfortable with.
[48:48] » Yep. Got it.
[48:49] » Okay. Um but otherwise again thank you
[48:53] for the great work and if anybody else
[48:54] has anything.
[48:55] » Yes.
[48:57] » Yes. Um on item number 20, do you mind
[48:59] pulling up the um amenity plan again for
[49:03] me? I have actually have a question um
[49:06] relating to the site section. It looks
[49:09] like there's a significant um slope that
[49:14] runs east to west on that um portion of
[49:17] the parcel. And so I just wanted to know
[49:21] on that amenity plan, how much do you
[49:23] know how much of that is actual usable
[49:25] space? Are they planning to
[49:27] » What we're when you say usable this area
[49:30] would be turf area in here
[49:32] » And right and so is this is that other
[49:36] portion with the landscaping is that
[49:38] graded up
[49:40] » I don't know what the I don't know what
[49:41] the crosssections are on that. I do know
[49:44] that we do have a walking path in this
[49:47] area that's being planned. And actually,
[49:49] I just received as I was sitting here a
[49:53] more updated plan of moving the play
[49:56] equipment up in this area here. So,
[49:59] we're still moving some stuff around,
[50:00] working with our uh landscape and our
[50:03] planners for the open space here. I'm
[50:05] just concerned that it looks like a lot
[50:08] of space on the site plan, but when you
[50:11] actually look at the slope of it, I just
[50:13] want to make sure that they're taking
[50:15] full advantage of that of that area.
[50:18] » Okay,
[50:18] » That's all I have.
[50:19] » Thank you, Commissioner Leo. Anybody
[50:22] else? Seeing none, Commissioner Taylor,
[50:24] can I get a motion starting with item
[50:26] number 19?
[50:27] » Um, yes. On item number 19,
[50:32] um, and I guess quick question before I
[50:33] make motions. Um, Miss Edetos, for the
[50:36] condition of the shade structure um over
[50:39] the the playground area, which item
[50:43] would that attach to?
[50:45] » That would attach to item number 20. So,
[50:48] you can go ahead and read 19 and vote.
[50:51] » Okay, great. I'd like to make a motion

[51:45] for play structures shall include a
[51:48] shade structure over the play equipment.

[1:04:16] » Is that okay?
[1:04:17] » Yes.
[1:04:18] » Are you accepting?
[1:04:19] » Yes, we are.
[1:04:20] » Um otherwise, uh I think it's a
[1:04:23] beautiful layout and we're excited to
[1:04:25] see it move forward.
[1:04:27] » Thank you.
[1:04:28] » Is there anyone else who has other Yes.
[1:04:31] » Um good a good good evening. Um, I just
[1:04:35] had a it's a little outside the purview
[1:04:38] of what we do, but I I did just have a
[1:04:40] question about the actual design and how
[1:04:43] it links into the museum.
[1:04:45] » And um I only ask um because I am sort
[1:04:49] of familiar with the CCCHP and the Shipo
[1:04:52] at the state level and
[1:04:54] » I just don't well two things. Um, I
[1:04:58] would be really curious to hear Miss
[1:05:00] Chen or you talk about how you
[1:05:03] integrated this sort of much more modern
[1:05:05] expansion like and how it's intended to
[1:05:08] reflect the existing architecture of the
[1:05:10] building and then what's the connection
[1:05:13] point and how did you limit any sort of
[1:05:17] intrusion into the existing building at
[1:05:19] that connection point for the expansion?
[1:05:22] So, I uh I I will uh answer some of that
[1:05:27] and then uh I'm sure Alexia will have a
[1:05:29] few things to add. Um we've talked about
[1:05:32] this extensively. Um uh both with the
[1:05:36] Historic Preservation Commission as well
[1:05:38] as the State Historic Preservation
[1:05:40] Office. um very careful selection of um
[1:05:45] material types and colors uh that would
[1:05:49] be on the new building to make certain
[1:05:51] you know I think at at the kind of the
[1:05:53] highest level what we're aspiring to do
[1:05:56] here is to make certain that the
[1:05:57] building addition is complementaryary of
[1:05:59] the historic structure without creating
[1:06:03] any confusion about what is historic and
[1:06:07] what is a contemporary building. So
[1:06:10] that's really what we're trying to
[1:06:12] thread is to make certain that it's
[1:06:13] aesthetically complimentary but not uh
[1:06:16] you know if if if someone were to that
[1:06:19] doesn't know any better is not familiar
[1:06:21] with uh our building and was standing on
[1:06:23] the street uh they would not conclude
[1:06:25] that the new building is actually uh the
[1:06:28] historic building that's on the national
[1:06:30] register of historic places. Um so
[1:06:34] that's kind of the the aesthetic
[1:06:35] approach in terms of the connection been
[1:06:38] really trying to identify how we can
[1:06:40] minimize um any impact on the historic
[1:06:43] structure. So what we uh what you know
[1:06:46] the the two penetrations
[1:06:49] uh are on the east um side of the
[1:06:53] existing historic building to the north.
[1:06:57] uh it's in a corner that's already been
[1:06:58] altered um kind of you know considerably
[1:07:02] certainly relative to other portions of
[1:07:05] of the building. There is uh on the
[1:07:08] north side in of that corner uh there
[1:07:11] was already a uh window that was turned
[1:07:14] into an emergency exit. Uh and there's
[1:07:17] um uh a uh ADA accessible ramp that's
[1:07:21] out out there as well. Uh so we need to
[1:07:25] have some physical opening that goes
[1:07:27] through. We thought that that was the
[1:07:29] you know would have the least impact. Um
[1:07:31] it's towards the rear of the uh of the
[1:07:34] building. Um and then additionally the
[1:07:38] uh the hyphen that connects the historic
[1:07:41] building to the new building. you know,
[1:07:43] we've we've minimized uh the height of
[1:07:46] that hyphen and uh and really tried to
[1:07:49] maximize the setback from the street so
[1:07:51] that it would have uh as little impact
[1:07:54] as possible um on the exterior view of
[1:07:59] the east facade of the building.
[1:08:03] » Okay. Thank you. And then I I just had
[1:08:05] one other follow-up question trying to
[1:08:07] look at the pictures is so what you've
[1:08:09] got shown here this the bottom
[1:08:13] elevation. Does
[1:08:16] does it wrap behind the building so that
[1:08:18] it's like blocking the view of the
[1:08:19] building?
[1:08:21] » It it wraps um to an extent. So what we
[1:08:27] So So this is really what you know what
[1:08:30] we're trying to to kind of weave here is
[1:08:33] the addition to the east that does not
[1:08:36] entirely block the east facade. Um on
[1:08:40] the north side we also you know we
[1:08:42] consider the the perspective uh from the
[1:08:45] north to be uh important as well because
[1:08:49] that's where you can see the uh the
[1:08:52] extension of the courtroom you know
[1:08:53] which is the most historic portion of
[1:08:55] the building uh that's right up here as
[1:08:59] well as uh the historic uh former post
[1:09:03] office loading bays. So you can see the
[1:09:05] bit of the green awning over here as
[1:09:08] well. So um so if [clears throat] you're
[1:09:10] looking at uh from uh the north side um
[1:09:15] yes there is some wrap around the corner
[1:09:19] uh but it does not fully obstruct the uh
[1:09:22] the north facade of the building
[1:09:25] » And the south side of the building is
[1:09:27] completely unobstructed to see the
[1:09:29] entrance.
[1:09:29] » Yes. Yes.
[1:09:30] » Okay. And then on the bottom rendering,
[1:09:33] what what is I'm just
[1:09:36] exactly where you had your index finger.
[1:09:38] Is that also that's the east side,
[1:09:41] right?
[1:09:42] » Yes,
[1:09:43] » I got it. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thanks
[1:09:45] for the walk through.
[1:09:46] » Sure.
[1:09:48] » Question.
[1:09:48] » All right, Mr. Boils.
[1:09:51] Um through you, chair. On item 23B,
[1:09:54] condition number 17, a new bullet point
[1:09:57] shall be added that states, "All fast
[1:10:00] all trees within the parking lot and
[1:10:02] landscape buffer areas shall be fast
[1:10:04] growing large shade trees with a minimum
[1:10:07] 3-in trunk caliber measured 6 in from
[1:10:10] the base of the trunk in accordance with
[1:10:13] the Southern Nevada regional plant list.
[1:10:15] Thank you.
[1:10:16] » Thank you." And you agree to that
[1:10:18] condition?
[1:10:19] » We do. And if I may, um, we agree to all
[1:10:23] of the conditions. We do have just one
[1:10:26] question of on one of the conditions.
[1:10:29] » Go ahead.
[1:10:30] » Uh, under public works number 21.
[1:10:33] » Right. So, our question is on the
[1:10:35] description of constructing a bus
[1:10:37] turnout in alignment with the rightway
[1:10:40] and the description of bus shelter. Um,
[1:10:42] it's unclear in this condition as
[1:10:44] written where this is happening. if
[1:10:47] there is a bus stop for for RTC in front
[1:10:49] of the MA museum
[1:10:58] um through the chair uh Omar Kasani in
[1:11:01] public works. The the bus stop is going
[1:11:04] to be in by the right turn lane uh the
[1:11:08] turnout that is just south of this
[1:11:12] proposed parking lot.
[1:11:19] You're saying over here?
[1:11:22] » Correct. It's right there.
[1:11:24] » It's in the rightway.
[1:11:25] » In the rightway.
[1:11:28] » So, is the request to construct a bus
[1:11:30] shelter in this in the rightway there?
[1:11:34] » Uh
[1:11:40] uh yes, that is that is a request.
[1:11:47] And that's [clears throat]
[1:11:50] we need to make certain that we're
[1:11:51] accommodating a bus shelter or we are
[1:11:53] constructing a bus shelter.
[1:11:58] » So they're accommodating.
[1:12:00] » Okay. Um usually the RTC will be
[1:12:02] constructing the bus shelter. You will
[1:12:04] be uh accommodating for that bus shelter
[1:12:06] space.
[1:12:06] » Okay. So just the alignment of the um
[1:12:08] driveway connection.
[1:12:10] » That is correct.
[1:12:12] » Thank you. Okay. So, you agree to all
[1:12:14] the conditions?
[1:12:15] » Yes, we do.
[1:12:16] » And the added condition?
[1:12:18] » Yes.
[1:12:18] » Okay. Thank you. Uh, seeing no other
[1:12:20] comments, Commissioner Walters, can we
[1:12:22] get a motion?
[1:12:23] » Yes. I'd like to make a motion item 23,
[1:12:26] that's 26-211,
[1:12:29] uh, to approve with staff conditions. Do
[1:12:33] you accept all staff conditions?
[1:12:35] » Yes, we do. And that's on 23A and 23B.
[1:12:38] » 23A and 23B. Yes. Thank you.
[1:12:41] » Okay. Thank you.
[1:12:44] And that uh added condition will go on
[1:12:46] to 23B for clarification.
[1:12:50] All right. Uh please cast your votes.
[1:12:54] The motion carries.
[1:12:56] » Thank you very much.
[1:12:57] » And that is final action tonight and
[1:12:58] let's appeal to the city clerk in 10
[1:13:00] days.
[1:13:01] » Okay. Thank you. Item number 2426-0213
[1:13:05] B1. Applicant Guadalupe Fus. Uh owner is
[1:13:09] Kas de Lupe. uh for possible action on a
[1:13:12] land use entitlement project request to
[1:13:14] allow an existing front yard wall fence.
[1:13:16] It does not conform to title 1906
[1:13:19] development standards for heightened
[1:13:20] visibility at 3436 Venice Drive W five.
[1:13:24] Stack rep recommends denial. Can we get
[1:13:26] the staff report please?
[1:13:29] » Mr. Chair, uh this request is the result
[1:13:31] of an open code enforcement case. The
[1:13:33] applicant is requesting a variance to
[1:13:35] maintain an existing front yard wall and
[1:13:37] fence that was constructed without
[1:13:39] obtaining required building permits that
[1:13:41] does not meet Title 19 development
[1:13:43] standards for heightened visibility.
[1:13:44] Staff finds no unique or extraordinary
[1:13:46] evidence has been presented. The
[1:13:48] applicant has created a self-imposed
[1:13:50] hardship by constructing a front yard
[1:13:52] wall that does not meet Title 19
[1:13:54] development standards. Modifying the top
[1:13:56] two feet of the wall to have 50%
[1:13:58] visibility and lowering the gate to a
[1:14:00] maximum of five feet would allow
[1:14:02] conformance to title 19 requirements.
[1:14:04] Therefore, staff recommends denial of
[1:14:06] this request. Please note, additional
[1:14:08] documents for protest were received
[1:14:10] after publication. Thank you.
[1:14:12] » Thank you, sir. Good evening.
[1:14:13] » Hello, I'm Angel. This is Wal Lupe
[1:14:15] Frosto and uh we live at uh 3436 Venice
[1:14:19] Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 1089 108.
[1:14:23] » Angel, what's your last name? Hernandez.
[1:14:25] » Okay, thank you.
[1:14:27] » Um, ever since we moved into that house,
[1:14:28] we bought it. Um, they have been
[1:14:31] stealing from the front yard. Um, we go
[1:14:33] out, we come back, we have people
[1:14:35] swimming in our swimming pool without us
[1:14:38] being in the house. So, um, in 2021, we
[1:14:42] decided to put two more feet
[1:14:45] um to our front yard. Um, there's
[1:14:48] people, homeless people um with shopping
[1:14:51] carts stealing stuff from the front
[1:14:52] yards.
[1:14:54] Um, it's a lady walking with a dead cat.
[1:15:00] Um, I'm just I'm I'm not I didn't do it
[1:15:02] for cosmetic reasons. We did it for our
[1:15:04] own safety. And ever since um 2021, we
[1:15:08] haven't had nothing stolen from. We had
[1:15:10] nothing um people swimming in a swimming
[1:15:13] pool no more. Um
[1:15:16] but it's been there for four years or
[1:15:18] five. Five already.
[1:15:20] » Okay. All right. and we're just doing it
[1:15:23] for our own safety.
[1:15:25] » Okay. Thank you. Uh this was noted as a
[1:15:28] public hearing. Anyone want to be heard,
[1:15:30] please come forward. Seeing none, I'm
[1:15:32] going close the public hear and turn
[1:15:33] this one over to Commissioner Walters.
[1:15:37] » Hi.
[1:15:38] » Hello.
[1:15:38] » Um
[1:15:40] so I I understand your safety concern
[1:15:44] and I understand uh the reason why you
[1:15:48] have the solid wall fence. Um, I did
[1:15:51] come drive through the neighborhood and
[1:15:53] I did not find any other uh front yards
[1:15:57] that were of similar aesthetic. Uh,
[1:16:00] which is one of my concerns in that
[1:16:02] neighborhood. And I also see that that
[1:16:06] several of your neighbors in including
[1:16:08] on one side and across the street have
[1:16:11] um have not similar walls but ones that
[1:16:15] conform with the two foot foot and then
[1:16:17] the metal uh in between. Do you know
[1:16:20] what I'm talking about? The fence block
[1:16:22] with with metal in between. And so it
[1:16:26] does appear like your fence is very out
[1:16:29] of the ordinary for the entirety of that
[1:16:32] neighborhood. Um, and so, you know,
[1:16:37] » I I wish I wish you'd come.
[1:16:39] » Yeah. I'm just not trying to make it
[1:16:41] easier for them to jump in, you know,
[1:16:43] like
[1:16:44] » It's it's very um I mean we come back to
[1:16:49] the house and there's strangers swimming
[1:16:51] in our swimming pool, you know, it's
[1:16:55] it's very
[1:16:57] » And
[1:16:59] I think there are ways to build a fence
[1:17:02] that would deter that without it being
[1:17:05] um so unlike the rest of the
[1:17:06] neighborhood. So,
[1:17:08] » And actually like the four feet, it's
[1:17:10] like like right here like up to that
[1:17:12] like right here. Four feet.
[1:17:14] » I I
[1:17:14] » If I go back to the two feet, um they're
[1:17:16] just going to jump over it.
[1:17:18] » I did I did come and see it. So,
[1:17:20] » And there's also like uh three houses to
[1:17:24] the left that has like the same kind of
[1:17:26] a fence, a wall.
[1:17:28] » Mhm.
[1:17:29] » Like a wooden wall
[1:17:31] » And it's even higher than mine.
[1:17:33] » Yes. Thank you.
[1:17:34] » Hi. So, um, Commissioner Walters, I'll
[1:17:36] I'll add just a few things. So, uh,
[1:17:38] basically our code says that you can
[1:17:40] have a maximum of two feet solid, but
[1:17:43] then you could put three foot of metal
[1:17:45] on top of that. So, kind of like your
[1:17:48] your main entry gate. And so, you would
[1:17:51] uh it would it [clears throat] would
[1:17:53] probably be higher than what you're what
[1:17:55] you actually have right here, which
[1:17:57] would give you more security than what
[1:17:59] you currently have. So, maybe you
[1:18:01] consider going back to what our code
[1:18:02] allows. just chop off the top two feet
[1:18:05] and then put the metal come going all
[1:18:06] the way up to five feet and then you
[1:18:08] have more protection.
[1:18:10] » Well, all right. I mean, we could do
[1:18:14] that.
[1:18:15] » Would um I mean, and did you have any
[1:18:19] thoughts on the gate?
[1:18:21] » Um
[1:18:23] » Sorry. Uh the gate the gate is taller
[1:18:27] than expected, but it is it is visible
[1:18:29] through and so I do not have concerns
[1:18:33] with the gate. Uh I do have concerns
[1:18:35] with the wall. So
[1:18:38] » That's where I'm at. Are there any other
[1:18:40] comments?
[1:18:41] » No.
[1:18:42] » Okay. Um
[1:18:47] » It is that something what what was the
[1:18:49] total height of the fence? I mean the
[1:18:51] gate
[1:18:51] » The gate went went up to seven feet in
[1:18:54] the center only.
[1:18:55] » Okay.
[1:18:56] » It's just for the cars and then the the
[1:18:58] wall is 4 feet.
[1:19:01] » Yes. So
[1:19:05] » Do we ask?
[1:19:06] » And I do have entrance.
[1:19:08] » One one second sir. Sir.
[1:19:10] » So did you were you in
[1:19:13] Okay. Um
[1:19:19] yes. So, I guess we should ask staff if
[1:19:21] if Commissioner Walters is inclined to
[1:19:23] allow them to have a taller gate, but
[1:19:26] then they need to be in conformance with
[1:19:28] the uh with the standard fence.
[1:19:32] Um maybe you can help us figure out how
[1:19:35] to craft that.
[1:19:36] » Mr. Chairman, uh the conditions of
[1:19:38] approval address each um situation. So
[1:19:42] you could deny for the 4ft solid wall
[1:19:47] and then approve for the 7 foot tall
[1:19:50] gate.
[1:19:52] So we do have that option
[1:19:58] which if that's the motion means you
[1:19:59] could keep the gates and then you would
[1:20:02] cut down half of your wall and then put
[1:20:05] the metal up and then you would be in
[1:20:07] conformance with code.
[1:20:08] » Okay.
[1:20:10] motion.
[1:20:11] » One motion.
[1:20:13] » Um, I'd like to make a motion, item 24,
[1:20:16] that's 26-0213
[1:20:19] Vier 1, uh, to deny the 4ft solid wall
[1:20:24] and approve your 7 foot gate.
[1:20:27] » Okay, Mr. Chairman, through you. Then
[1:20:29] that would be condition of approval for
[1:20:32] the variance. Uh condition of approval
[1:20:34] number one would read, "A variance is
[1:20:36] hereby denied to allow an existing 4-ft
[1:20:40] tall solid block wall where 5T
[1:20:44] consisting of a twoft solid wall base is
[1:20:47] the maximum height allowed and condition
[1:20:50] of approval number two will remain as is
[1:20:53] stating a variance is hereby approved to
[1:20:56] allow an existing 7 foot tall gate where
[1:20:59] 5T is the maximum height allowed. Thank
[1:21:01] you. You [clears throat] agree with
[1:21:03] those conditions?
[1:21:04] » Yes.
[1:21:06] » Okay.
[1:21:07] » Complaining. Please confirm that the
[1:21:08] twoft wall with three-foot metal meets
[1:21:11] code. So the applicant could come in for
[1:21:13] a permit for the 3-ft additional metal
[1:21:15] after they cut the wall down. Just for
[1:21:16] clarity,
[1:21:18] » Mr. Chairman, through you. Yes. Our code
[1:21:20] allows for 2 feet of solid block wall on
[1:21:23] the bottom and then you can put three
[1:21:25] feet of rot iron on top for a total of
[1:21:29] five feet in height. And then they could
[1:21:31] keep the seven foot tall gate.
[1:21:35] » All right, Commissioner Walters, is that
[1:21:37] your motion for approval?
[1:21:42] » Um, I think it's on the floor. Motion's
[1:21:44] on the floor. Let's uh
[1:21:45] » My motion uh I motion for approval
[1:21:47] subject to staff conditions. Do you
[1:21:49] accept staff conditions?
[1:21:52] » Yes.
[1:21:53] » Okay. Motion motion's on the floor.
[1:21:56] Please cast your vote. Motion carries.
[1:21:59] And that will move on to city council on
[1:22:01] September 16th.
[1:22:04] » Okay. Moving on. 2526-219
[1:22:07] V1. Applicant owner Andrew Schmidt and
[1:22:11] Anna Vleti for possible action on land
[1:22:14] use entitlement project request to allow
[1:22:15] an existing residential accessory
[1:22:17] structure carport that does not conform

[1:22:29] Ward One. Staff recommends now. Can we
[1:22:31] get the staff report, please?
[1:22:33] » Mr. Vice Chair, staff finds no evidence
[1:22:35] of a unique or extraordinary
[1:22:37] circumstance related to the physical
[1:22:39] characteristics of the property. As
[1:22:41] such, the hardship is self-imposed and
[1:22:44] therefore staff recommends denial.
[1:22:46] Please note additional documentation of
[1:22:48] support and protest was received after
[1:22:50] publication. Thank you.
[1:22:52] » Thank you, sir. Is the applicant here

[1:23:18] applicants, so I want them at least to
[1:23:20] be able to come here and uh express

[1:24:14] Applicant Alan Al Nefali, owner Katana
[1:24:18] Holdens for possible action on the
[1:24:20] following land use entitlement project
[1:24:21] request at 2921 West Sahara Avenue, Ward
[1:24:24] 3D Diaz. Staff recommends approval for
[1:24:26] the land use project. 27A 27A is 26-0229
[1:24:31] SUP1 for proposed 353T alcohol off-
[1:24:35] premise uh full use. 27B 26-0229 SUP2
[1:24:40] for proposed gaming establishment
[1:24:42] restricted one to five machine use. Can
[1:24:44] we get the staff report please?
[1:24:47] » Mr. Chair, the proposed uses are
[1:24:49] consistent with the uses allowed in the
[1:24:51] C1 limited commercial zoning district
[1:24:53] and the subject site meets the distance
[1:24:55] separation requirements for both uses.
[1:24:57] As such, staff recommends approval of
[1:24:59] the requested special use permits
[1:25:01] subject to conditions if approved.
[1:25:04] Please note, additional documentation of
[1:25:06] support and protests were received after
[1:25:08] publication. Thank you.
[1:25:10] » Thank you. Good evening, sir.
[1:25:11] » Good evening. My name is George Ross. My
[1:25:15] address is 7582 Las Vegas Boulevard
[1:25:18] South, sweet 518 in Las Vegas, Nevada
[1:25:22] 89123.
[1:25:24] On behalf of the applicant,
[1:25:26] uh my client uh would like to open and
[1:25:28] operate a market and liquor store for
[1:25:32] off- premises full alcohol sales along
[1:25:35] with a uh restricted gaming license for
[1:25:38] one to five machines.
[1:25:41] Currently, as you can see by uh the
[1:25:44] picture, the current building is being
[1:25:47] completely uh rehabilitated and rebuilt
[1:25:51] and my client would uh take over the
[1:25:54] brand new built 353
[1:25:57] ft uh building. It is adjacent to a
[1:26:00] current and existing doies.
[1:26:04] Uh the
[1:26:06] um
[1:26:10] I guess as as stated earlier, it
[1:26:12] conforms with the uh C1 zoning and uh
[1:26:16] we're not asking for any type of
[1:26:17] variances. Uh typical products are going
[1:26:20] to be similar to those that are uh
[1:26:22] contained in a 7-Eleven or Circle K or a
[1:26:25] Rebel convenience store.
[1:26:28] There are 46 parking spaces provided and
[1:26:31] uh there are only 21 that are required.
[1:26:33] So, we're not asking for any type of
[1:26:35] parking variance.
[1:26:37] Uh there's no problem in terms of the
[1:26:40] distance separation and uh staff has
[1:26:43] recommended approval. Uh we're willing
[1:26:47] and able to abide by all the conditions
[1:26:49] if approved and I'm here to answer any
[1:26:51] questions you might have.
[1:26:53] » All right. Uh this was noted as a public
[1:26:55] hearing. Anyone want to be heard, please
[1:26:57] come forward. Seeing none, I'm going
[1:26:59] close the public hearing. Turn this over
[1:27:00] to plan commission for discussion,
[1:27:02] possible action.
[1:27:04] Uh does anyone have any comments on
[1:27:06] this?
[1:27:08] Um seeing none, uh this is my word staff
[1:27:11] recommend approval read through the the
[1:27:14] agenda item. Um so I feel comfortable
[1:27:16] moving forward with this. So on item
[1:27:19] number 27 A and B, move to approve
[1:27:22] subject to staff's conditions and the
[1:27:24] applicants already agreed to all
[1:27:26] conditions. So please cast your vote.
[1:27:34] That motion carries.
[1:27:36] » And Mr. Chairman, that item will move

[1:27:54] LLC for possible action on a following
[1:27:56] land use entitlement project request
[1:27:58] generally located at the southwest

[1:28:47] and 28F 26-231 TMP1 Osablanca and
[1:28:51] Centennial for proposed 57 lot single
[1:28:54] family residential subdivision. Can we
[1:28:56] get the staff report please?
[1:28:58] » Mr. Chair, the applicant is proposing to
[1:29:00] construct a 57 lot single family
[1:29:02] residential subdivision with private
[1:29:04] gated streets that has primary vehicular
[1:29:06] access from Osablanca Road. As proposed,
[1:29:09] the 57 lot residential subdivision will
[1:29:11] have a density of 7.91 units per acre,
[1:29:14] which conforms to the proposed medium
[1:29:16] low density residential town center
[1:29:18] special land use designation. The
[1:29:20] submitted building elevations indicate
[1:29:22] the proposed single family residential
[1:29:24] subdivision will provide two-story
[1:29:26] products throughout the development
[1:29:28] consisting of three product types which
[1:29:31] include Spanish traditional and desert
[1:29:33] contemporary. This is also consistent
[1:29:35] with the adjacent existing single family
[1:29:37] residential subdivision located to the
[1:29:39] west of the subject site. staff finds
[1:29:41] that the proposed single family
[1:29:43] development is in alignment with the
[1:29:44] goals and policies outlined within the
[1:29:46] town center development standards manual
[1:29:48] and is harmonious with the existing
[1:29:50] surrounding development. Therefore,
[1:29:52] staff recommends approval of the project
[1:29:54] and all associated entitlements. Please
[1:29:57] note additional documents for protest
[1:29:59] and support were received after
[1:30:01] publication. Thank you.
[1:30:05] » Thank you. Good evening.
[1:30:07] » Good evening. Jennifer Lazovich, 1980
[1:30:09] Festival Plaza Drive here tonight on
[1:30:11] behalf of Beaser Homes. The site is
[1:30:14] shown on your uh there you go. You can
[1:30:16] see it on mine now. So, it sits right
[1:30:18] here uh next to Oso Blanca Road. Uh the
[1:30:23] piece is in triangle and the uh vacant
[1:30:26] land to the south of us is owned by the
[1:30:28] uh Clark County Public Works Division.
[1:30:31] So, this is not privately owned down
[1:30:32] here. Uh this piece of property, as
[1:30:35] staff indicated, uh we're asking for a
[1:30:38] major modification uh to go from
[1:30:42] um Main Street mixed use to basically
[1:30:47] town center and then corresponding zone
[1:30:50] changes that would take us from the site
[1:30:52] is presently zone C1 except for a little
[1:30:55] tiny corner in green which is zoned
[1:30:58] undeveloped. And so we would take both
[1:31:00] of those to a residential designation.
[1:31:03] Um, for just a minute, I do want to note
[1:31:05] that in the town center standards, the
[1:31:09] purpose of main street mixed use is to
[1:31:12] encourage some type of mixed use with
[1:31:14] either office or shopping on the main
[1:31:17] floor and then medium to high density
[1:31:20] residential on the upper floors. uh you
[1:31:23] will hear from some representatives from
[1:31:24] the Timberlake Homeowners Association um
[1:31:27] which is adjacent to us to the west and
[1:31:30] they will tell you about their history
[1:31:32] of various projects that have been
[1:31:34] proposed on this site. So, we want to
[1:31:37] take uh the commercial zoning that sits
[1:31:39] on the site and the master plan that
[1:31:42] would encourage mid to high density
[1:31:45] residential with some mixture of uses
[1:31:47] and instead we want to do a uh single
[1:31:51] family detached
[1:31:53] housing project. All of the homes are
[1:31:56] twotory. I can show you those elevations
[1:31:58] in a little bit. Uh, and we do
[1:32:00] appreciate staff recommending approval.
[1:32:02] And I would be that brief except that in
[1:32:06] our years representing applications in
[1:32:08] this area, we know just how uh involved
[1:32:12] and active the Timberlake
[1:32:15] Homeowners Association is, which sits
[1:32:17] immediately to our west is our neighbor.
[1:32:20] So, we did a voluntary neighborhood
[1:32:22] meeting last Monday night and we had
[1:32:24] about 55 people come. That shows you how
[1:32:27] involved their neighborhood is. um how
[1:32:30] well they've ca taken care of their
[1:32:32] association, their homes, their
[1:32:34] community stays incredibly active and
[1:32:36] involved. And so I want to take a minute
[1:32:39] and go through some of the issues that
[1:32:42] came up at that meeting um and walk
[1:32:45] through them. So if anybody's listening
[1:32:46] in the audience or if anybody's
[1:32:48] listening and watching at home, uh I
[1:32:50] will try to address some of the things
[1:32:51] that came up from that. I would say the
[1:32:54] majority of the people who spoke, not
[1:32:57] all, but the majority of the people who
[1:32:58] spoke were in support of changing it
[1:33:02] from commercial or this main street
[1:33:04] mixed juice over to a single family
[1:33:07] detached, that's a key word, a single
[1:33:09] family detached product. It really kind
[1:33:12] of came down a little bit more to this
[1:33:15] edge condition where our project backs
[1:33:18] up or um our our project backs up to the
[1:33:21] sideyards of some of the existing homers
[1:33:24] homeowners in the Timberlake area. Some
[1:33:26] of the discussion surrounded the
[1:33:28] existing wall. There is a boundary wall
[1:33:30] on Timberlake. It's pretty tall here. Um
[1:33:33] I I didn't measure it exactly, but I
[1:33:35] estimated to be somewhere between 8 to
[1:33:38] 10 feet in height. And with this layout,
[1:33:41] these homes would use that existing
[1:33:43] property line boundary wall as the rear
[1:33:46] yard for us. Oftent times I'm in front
[1:33:48] of you and we get asked, could we do a
[1:33:50] secondary wall? Well, you usually get
[1:33:52] asked to do that and a builder will do
[1:33:53] that when one side of the wall, if we
[1:33:56] were higher and therefore the wall was
[1:33:58] basically three feet on our side, it
[1:34:00] would make sense for us to put in a
[1:34:02] secondary wall so that you could have
[1:34:05] that true five or six foot tall wall on
[1:34:08] the back of our side. In this case, it's
[1:34:10] the reverse. The wall that's already
[1:34:12] there now is really tall. And the way
[1:34:14] the drainage works is it drains from the
[1:34:16] west slightly to the south and really
[1:34:19] comes out on the east side where
[1:34:20] Oablanca is. So our site has to sit a
[1:34:24] little bit lower and then we have to
[1:34:26] take that drainage um through our site.
[1:34:29] And I just want to point that out. At
[1:34:31] the end of each of these culde-sacs,
[1:34:33] you'll see some gray areas on our site
[1:34:35] plan. In this case, it's partially it's
[1:34:37] green, but it also includes a gray area.
[1:34:40] That will be where we take the flows
[1:34:41] that come from their site onto our site.
[1:34:44] We will take them in our private streets
[1:34:46] and then work them this way out to
[1:34:49] Osablanca. Uh lot of discussion was
[1:34:52] about that drainage that existing
[1:34:55] drainage condition because if you go out
[1:34:57] there and you look their wall literally
[1:34:59] has um gaps if you will intentional gaps
[1:35:03] where that water would flow through onto
[1:35:05] this site. So we have to capture it. We
[1:35:07] know that. we've accounted for it and
[1:35:09] then we will take it into the flows and
[1:35:11] take it out. Uh the other thing that
[1:35:14] came up there was a lot of discussion
[1:35:16] about um the the elevations that are
[1:35:20] here versus the elevations that are next
[1:35:22] to us. Uh I can go through that in some
[1:35:25] detail. Uh but suffice to say with this
[1:35:29] layout right now, I had my engineer look
[1:35:31] at what the finished floor elevation
[1:35:33] would be for these proposed lots and
[1:35:35] what the finished floor elevation is of
[1:35:37] the existing lots. If you go to this
[1:35:39] north area, uh these lots right here,
[1:35:43] lots one, two, and roughly three would
[1:35:45] sit about 7 ft. The finished floor of
[1:35:47] that lot would sit about 7 feet lower
[1:35:49] than the finished floor of the homeowner
[1:35:51] who lives here. That's not necessarily
[1:35:53] true as you move this way. It kind of
[1:35:56] varies and it varies from about 2 feet
[1:35:58] to 5t. Again, this side is lower, the
[1:36:02] side that I'm I'm proposing this project
[1:36:04] on, but it the lowest point is on this
[1:36:08] uh upper north corner for us. And then
[1:36:10] the range sits somewhere between 2 to 5t
[1:36:13] again lower on the homes that sit on
[1:36:15] this side. So, we had a a good amount of
[1:36:18] conversations about that. They also were
[1:36:20] concerned that this could turn into a
[1:36:23] three-story development. We are not
[1:36:25] proposing three-story homes. We would
[1:36:27] agree to a condition uh that states all
[1:36:30] homes within the subdivision shall not
[1:36:32] be more than two stories. We're only
[1:36:34] proposing two stories. We're not
[1:36:35] proposing three stories, but I think
[1:36:37] that condition would be important so
[1:36:39] that the neighbors know there won't be
[1:36:40] some kind of change down the road. Um
[1:36:43] the other things that we talked about is
[1:36:45] would this community have
[1:36:47] uh an homeowners association? Would
[1:36:50] there be CCNRs that go with it? You can
[1:36:52] see that we have open space throughout.
[1:36:54] Um we also have private streets. So yes,
[1:36:58] there would be a homeowners association
[1:37:00] that goes with this development. And
[1:37:02] along with that came some additional
[1:37:04] questions about short-term rentals um
[1:37:07] and some other things which I will talk
[1:37:09] through. But as it relates specifically
[1:37:12] to short-term rentals, uh, Beaser would
[1:37:14] agree to put in their CCNRs a condition
[1:37:18] that prohibited short-term rentals
[1:37:19] within this community as a homeowner
[1:37:22] association
[1:37:24] um, restriction. Uh, in addition, I want
[1:37:27] to just make it very clear for the
[1:37:28] record, which I did at the neighborhood
[1:37:30] meeting, this is a for sale market rate
[1:37:33] project. They are not seeking any type
[1:37:35] of federal funds or state funds or local
[1:37:38] funds to do some type of um lowering the
[1:37:42] price of the homes for certain
[1:37:44] individuals who have qualified income
[1:37:46] levels. It's completely market rate.
[1:37:48] It's not designed to be anything else uh
[1:37:51] besides that. And then uh just talking
[1:37:54] through there's been some rentals of
[1:37:58] homes within the Timberlake and they've
[1:38:01] the they've shared the challenges but
[1:38:03] they've also shared the lessons learned
[1:38:04] which has been really nice in talking
[1:38:06] with them. And so one of the other
[1:38:08] things that they asked for is what our
[1:38:10] CCNRs um you know not make it
[1:38:15] if you want to rent a house in this
[1:38:17] neighborhood you know it can't be for a
[1:38:19] month or two. it needs to be for a
[1:38:21] longer term so that probably you're
[1:38:23] getting uh somebody in there that
[1:38:24] hopefully might care a little bit more
[1:38:26] about uh the house and how they're
[1:38:28] acting as a neighbor. So Beaser has also
[1:38:31] agreed that their CCNRs could contain a
[1:38:33] condition that if you want to rent your
[1:38:35] home, they can't restrict that, but if
[1:38:37] you want to rent your home, it would
[1:38:38] have to be for a minimum of a year. Um,
[1:38:41] I think the final thing that I just want
[1:38:43] to say, I did want to show you these the
[1:38:46] homes. They showed them uh as staff was
[1:38:49] reading the um the staff report, but I I
[1:38:53] do want to say that there's still
[1:38:57] some concern about how these two
[1:39:01] projects come together on that edge. Um,
[1:39:04] these are all of our rear yards. All of
[1:39:06] these rear yards would be a minimum of
[1:39:08] 10 feet in the back. But these homes
[1:39:11] that sit on the Timberlake side, that's
[1:39:13] the sideyard for their homes. And so the
[1:39:16] some of the individuals who were at the
[1:39:17] neighborhood meeting live in those
[1:39:19] homes. And they expressed just some
[1:39:22] concern about the number of backyards
[1:39:24] that we have on our side um backing up,
[1:39:28] if you will, to their sideyards or their
[1:39:30] lots. And so we have committed to keep
[1:39:33] working on something that might soften
[1:39:36] this edge. Uh and and I'm saying it to
[1:39:40] the planning commission, this has to go
[1:39:41] on to city council. And so we will keep
[1:39:44] working on that. But I did tell everyone
[1:39:45] at the neighborhood meeting last Monday
[1:39:47] night that I would be presenting this
[1:39:48] plan for consideration and I would just
[1:39:51] talk through what the issues um were
[1:39:54] that were raised and that they had my
[1:39:56] word. Um, I give you my word that we
[1:39:58] will continue working on this this edge,
[1:40:00] what that's what I call it, this edge
[1:40:02] condition next to Timberlake as this
[1:40:05] application moves on to city council.
[1:40:07] So, I will conclude my presentation.
[1:40:09] » Thank you. This was not as a public
[1:40:11] hearing. Anyone want to be heard, please
[1:40:12] come forward. Miss Lassovich, if you
[1:40:15] could step to the side. We have a couple
[1:40:16] mics. Please step up to each of the
[1:40:18] mics. Be prepared to speak.
[1:40:21] If there's anybody else in the audience
[1:40:23] that wants to be heard, come, please
[1:40:24] come to the podium.
[1:40:26] Good evening, sir. Can we get your name
[1:40:28] and address for the record?
[1:40:29] » Ron Calderon, 8320 Frook Court,
[1:40:32] president of Timberlake Association.
[1:40:34] » Okay. Thank you. Go ahead, sir.
[1:40:37] » Uh, as Jennifer stated, we had that
[1:40:39] meeting on August 3rd. We had 55
[1:40:41] residents that attended the neighborhood
[1:40:43] meeting on August 3rd. There were a lot
[1:40:46] of questions and concerns that we had,
[1:40:48] and the builder's representative
[1:40:50] answered the best she could at the time
[1:40:52] with the information that was available.
[1:40:55] Um again, our concerns that we had were
[1:40:58] taken into consideration and that's what
[1:41:00] she's working on now uh for our
[1:41:02] community. Out of all the options that
[1:41:06] there are and have been in the past,
[1:41:07] which were many, uh this we feel is the
[1:41:10] best option uh that's present at this
[1:41:13] time. Of course, um most of the
[1:41:16] residents would prefer uh one-story
[1:41:18] buildings, but it's not going to happen.
[1:41:20] Okay? It's going to be twotory. So,
[1:41:22] that's one thing that, you know, we're
[1:41:23] all going to have to live with. Um,
[1:41:27] the builder proposed on August 3rd that
[1:41:29] they were going to place in 57 two-story
[1:41:32] detached homes, no three-story homes. It
[1:41:36] would be a gated community. The base
[1:41:38] price of the homes would range from 525
[1:41:41] to 568.
[1:41:43] We were also told that HOA fees would
[1:41:46] run anywhere from 100 to 125 a month. Uh
[1:41:50] also the lot size would be from 2,00 to
[1:41:53] 2500 square f feet. They would be two
[1:41:56] and threebedroom homes.
[1:41:58] Uh we are still dealing with the
[1:42:00] representative on a possible new
[1:42:02] rendering of the format of the placement
[1:42:05] of the homes and that's what she was
[1:42:07] discussing a little bit earlier along
[1:42:08] that common wall area which is 10 ft
[1:42:11] high. And what might end up being is
[1:42:14] that where those homes are based up
[1:42:16] against that wall, instead of them being
[1:42:18] there, there may be a street there
[1:42:20] instead. A 37 foot wide street would run
[1:42:23] across where that wall is at. And the
[1:42:25] homes would begin on the other side of
[1:42:27] that street there, which I think at that
[1:42:30] point most of the residents would be
[1:42:32] more in favor of because it gives a a
[1:42:34] bigger distance. So, the sidey yards
[1:42:36] that are there, uh, on that original
[1:42:39] plan, they would be looking right into
[1:42:41] that yard. I mean, it' be right there.
[1:42:43] But with the street there, we're talking
[1:42:45] 37 ft further to the east of that lot.
[1:42:49] So, uh, if that's doable, that would be
[1:42:51] great. I know the builder's application
[1:42:54] is asking for reszoning from a U
[1:42:56] undeveloped to a C from a C1 limited
[1:42:59] commercial to a town center residential.
[1:43:02] And with that, we are in full agreement
[1:43:04] uh for that reasonzoning to take place.
[1:43:07] All the other issues that we have, we'll
[1:43:09] deal with as time goes on before uh the
[1:43:12] city hall meeting sometime in September.
[1:43:15] Um but they've been willing to work with
[1:43:18] us on this and this is important. Um
[1:43:22] there's been other things that wanted to
[1:43:23] be placed there such as gas stations,
[1:43:26] storage units, and you know, and and
[1:43:29] that wouldn't help us at all. And at
[1:43:31] least with these homes here, it would
[1:43:32] preserve our property values in the
[1:43:35] Timberlake Association area, which we
[1:43:37] would be in favor of, of course. Um, and
[1:43:41] the other thing that helps is now that
[1:43:43] that's just a vacant lot there. We've
[1:43:45] had numerous problems with that vacant
[1:43:47] lot as far as uh encampments being set
[1:43:50] up there on that lot. We've had uh fires
[1:43:53] started on that lot and so forth. So, at
[1:43:56] least with this property being
[1:43:58] developed, that will eliminate all those
[1:44:00] problems that we have.
[1:44:02] » Thank you. I appreciate you coming out
[1:44:03] and expressing all those uh all those uh
[1:44:06] comments and concerns and uh appreciate
[1:44:09] your time.
[1:44:09] » Yeah. Any negative uh responses that
[1:44:12] were uh directed into um maybe our ward
[1:44:17] council woman's office. I spoke with
[1:44:18] some of those people on the phone last
[1:44:20] night uh for well over an hour and after
[1:44:24] we talked they felt more resolved. They
[1:44:27] didn't know a lot of the issues and what
[1:44:29] the answers were to them because they
[1:44:30] weren't able to attend the meeting. Um
[1:44:33] but they're, you know, more than happy
[1:44:34] with to see this go forward.
[1:44:36] » Well, thank you for doing that.
[1:44:38] » And this is
[1:44:38] » Good evening, sir.
[1:44:39] » If I may, my name is William Rohack.
[1:44:41] Spellings R O H A C. My address is 8213
[1:44:45] Dear Springs Way, Las Vegas, Nevada
[1:44:48] 89149. I'm the vice president of the
[1:44:51] HOA. Uh the only comment I have is just
[1:44:53] I don't want to be uh too redundant, but
[1:44:56] I was very pleased in how Jennifer has
[1:44:58] conducted ourselves. Uh Beaser Homes is
[1:45:01] uh I'm just pleased really pleased with
[1:45:03] how they've done stuff. Not everybody in
[1:45:05] our community is going to be in
[1:45:06] agreement, but uh uh like uh Ron had
[1:45:09] said, um you know, having uh high
[1:45:12] density housing or having a bar or a gas
[1:45:15] station there would certainly have a
[1:45:17] negative impact and higher crime in our
[1:45:19] in our area. And that's obviously our
[1:45:20] main focus is the safety of our our
[1:45:22] community and then also um uh just
[1:45:25] making sure that our property values
[1:45:28] maintain or increase. But uh I I think
[1:45:30] the process has gone well. So,
[1:45:32] » Okay. Thank you. Thank you for coming
[1:45:34] out tonight.
[1:45:35] » No.
[1:45:35] » Thank you, commissioners.
[1:45:36] » Thank you.
[1:45:36] » Okay,
[1:45:39] » M. Lasitch, I don't Do you have anything
[1:45:42] to add on that
[1:45:43] » I think just I just do want to say thank
[1:45:45] you. It you know, you walk into a room
[1:45:48] with 55 people and um that can go one of
[1:45:51] two ways. And I have to hand it to both
[1:45:54] uh Ron and um William. They uh listened
[1:46:00] to all of the their own homeowners. they
[1:46:02] gave their thoughts. It was a very very
[1:46:04] nice, respectful meeting going both ways
[1:46:06] and I very much appreciate their
[1:46:08] comments and the involvement of the
[1:46:10] neighborhood.
[1:46:11] » Okay. Thank you. Well, I'm going to
[1:46:12] close the public hear and turn this over
[1:46:14] to planning commission for discussion,
[1:46:15] possible action. I'm going go ahead and
[1:46:18] start. I I appreciate you working uh
[1:46:20] with with these gentlemen here and with
[1:46:22] the rest of the residents. Um figured
[1:46:25] we'd have uh a few other people here
[1:46:27] tonight. We don't, which is a good
[1:46:29] thing. But it it sounds like you still
[1:46:30] have a little bit of work and uh maybe
[1:46:32] work with the council person and and um
[1:46:35] and then see if there's any other uh
[1:46:37] modifications that you want to make
[1:46:38] prior to city council and then get with
[1:46:41] these gentlemen because they seem like
[1:46:42] they reach out to the uh to the rest of
[1:46:45] the HOA and spread the word. So, uh
[1:46:48] that's my thoughts, but overall I'm in
[1:46:51] support of the project. I I like I like
[1:46:53] the project as an project. We've seen
[1:46:56] other stuff come forward here that
[1:46:58] hasn't been as a pill in. So hopefully
[1:47:01] this will be the best u project that we
[1:47:03] can put in in there. Commissioner
[1:47:05] Taylor.
[1:47:06] » Uh thank you, Chair. Um Miss Lazovich.
[1:47:09] Um I am very familiar with that dirt and
[1:47:12] with your subdivision. I love your
[1:47:14] subdivision at Christmas time because as
[1:47:16] I drive to and from where I live up by
[1:47:18] Tuli Springs, I can see all of the like
[1:47:19] amazing decorations that you have in
[1:47:22] your subdivision. So, um I I have a lot
[1:47:26] of respect for the activity that um
[1:47:28] that's that you guys have been um
[1:47:31] engaged in to make sure that your
[1:47:32] neighborhood is protected. And so I
[1:47:35] think with that, while I recognize and
[1:47:39] um truly respect and know that Miss
[1:47:41] Lazovich when she says uh she will
[1:47:44] continue to work on this, she will. My
[1:47:46] inclination though is to make a motion
[1:47:50] that would be in approval of A through D
[1:47:52] because we know that that's something
[1:47:54] that you guys support as well. And this
[1:47:56] is part of um a lot of work and a lot of
[1:48:00] discussion over the years to try to get
[1:48:02] to the type of neighbors that you would
[1:48:05] want generally. Um but I am concerned
[1:48:09] about ENF and I want to make sure that
[1:48:11] you do that work between now and city
[1:48:13] council. And so, um, without, uh, Chair
[1:48:17] Kasama here, um, my inclination would be
[1:48:20] to make a motion to approve A through D
[1:48:23] and then deny E, E and F. And then that
[1:48:26] will, you know, make sure that you do
[1:48:28] the work you need to do between now and
[1:48:30] city council.
[1:48:31] » Mr. Chairman, may staff please um, read
[1:48:34] in the condition about the no
[1:48:36] three-story homes.
[1:48:37] » I was going to ask about that next. Yes.
[1:48:39] And then we have a we have a date stamp
[1:48:41] correction to make too as well for the
[1:48:43] landscape plan.
[1:48:46] » Which item will the will that [snorts]
[1:48:49] go on?
[1:48:52] » F.
[1:48:55] » Um, so a condition of approval will be
[1:48:58] added to item 28E, which states all
[1:49:01] homes within the subdivision shall not
[1:49:03] be more than two stories.
[1:49:06] And then for item 28F,
[1:49:12] condition number five, um the revised
[1:49:15] date stamp condition will state all
[1:49:18] landscaping shall be in conformance with
[1:49:20] the landscape plan dates stamped 71526
[1:49:24] except as amended by conditions herein.
[1:49:28] I mean, I think the answer is we agree
[1:49:30] to those conditions, but I understand
[1:49:32] your motion is
[1:49:35] not to approve. So, but we would agree
[1:49:38] with those conditions. Can you do the
[1:49:41] conditions if there's a denial? That
[1:49:43] seems counterintuitive. Miss Lazovich is
[1:49:45] right to point that out. So, maybe I
[1:49:47] will change my mind to make sure that
[1:49:49] those conditions are integrated.
[1:49:54] Mr. Mr. Chairman, through you this
[1:49:55] because there is a reasonzoning, this
[1:49:57] will move forward to city council. So,
[1:50:00] we can add those conditions between now
[1:50:03] and then if they're stated on the
[1:50:04] record.
[1:50:05] » Okay. Well, then [sighs and gasps] let
[1:50:09] me let me revise that then. Let me just
[1:50:12] go ahead and make a motion to approve
[1:50:13] everything because I do want to make
[1:50:15] sure that those conditions are on and go
[1:50:18] through. But again, Miss Lazovich, you
[1:50:21] know, I I have tremendous concerns about
[1:50:25] anywhere from two and a half to five
[1:50:27] lots backing up to those houses. And so
[1:50:31] I really like I'm cons I'm concerned
[1:50:34] because my inclination was to deny ENF.
[1:50:38] Um
[1:50:41] » Mr. chairman through you. If this will
[1:50:42] help this will move forward to the city
[1:50:45] council with your recommendation
[1:50:47] with of either approval or denial and
[1:50:50] you can add those
[1:50:52] » Uh conditions.
[1:50:54] The the staff report will state you know
[1:50:57] planning commission is recommending
[1:50:58] denial if approved subject to these
[1:51:01] conditions and then the added conditions
[1:51:03] will be in there to address the date
[1:51:06] stamp and the no three-story homes.
[1:51:10] Okay. All right. Um,
[1:51:16] so gentlemen, you are good with
[1:51:20] continuing to work with Miss Lazovich to
[1:51:22] get to something that you're all in
[1:51:25] agreement with, knowing that you're
[1:51:26] getting the best possible option in
[1:51:29] terms of your neighbors being a
[1:51:31] subdivision rather than any of the other
[1:51:33] commercial uses that have been proposed.
[1:51:35] I just I don't necessarily need you to
[1:51:36] come up. I'm just I guess I'm sort of
[1:51:38] rhetorically throwing that out there as
[1:51:40] opposed to asking for a response because
[1:51:42] again I I I really want to make sure
[1:51:45] that Miss Lazovich works with you
[1:51:46] because I am not comfortable with that
[1:51:50] number of lots abudding your lots. Um
[1:51:53] and so while again my inclination is to
[1:51:56] do a motion for denial on ENF, I would
[1:51:59] also very much like to have those
[1:52:00] conditions put in to move forward to
[1:52:03] city council. So, Miss Lazovich, you
[1:52:05] understand that that that is too intense
[1:52:07] and too dense for at least my comfort
[1:52:11] level, but I am going to change my mind
[1:52:14] and make a motion to approve all of it
[1:52:16] knowing your commitment and your stated
[1:52:19] commitment to continue to work with
[1:52:20] these folks.
[1:52:22] » Yes, thank you. Bezer will continue
[1:52:23] working. We've been actively, it's been
[1:52:26] about a week since we had the
[1:52:27] neighborhood meeting and we've been
[1:52:28] actively trying to work on what that
[1:52:30] edge looks like to address the concerns
[1:52:33] that we've had. Ron and I had
[1:52:35] conversation for I don't know when he
[1:52:37] has all time for all of his hourlong
[1:52:38] conversations because we had an hourlong
[1:52:40] conversation last night too. Uh and I
[1:52:43] expect that to continue before city
[1:52:45] council. So yes, we will keep working on
[1:52:46] it.
[1:52:47] » Okay. And then if you're going to do a
[1:52:48] street perhaps then one of the things
[1:52:50] you could consider that's what they
[1:52:52] mentioned was sort of a street between
[1:52:54] perhaps one of the things you consider
[1:52:55] is like a good landscape buffer which
[1:52:57] you probably already thinking about. So,
[1:53:01] um, okay. With that, then I'll make a
[1:53:03] motion to approve item 28 with subp
[1:53:07] parts A through F subject to all
[1:53:10] conditions and the two added conditions
[1:53:14] from staff related to three stories and
[1:53:18] what was the second one, Jonathan?
[1:53:20] Landscaping. Yep. Okay.
[1:53:22] » All right. Motion's on the floor. Please
[1:53:24] cast your vote.
[1:53:28] » [snorts]
[1:53:35] » Okay, it's not coming up for some of us.
[1:53:38] So for Commissioner Slotman, that's an
[1:53:40] I. Commissioner Taylor.
[1:53:42] » Hi.
[1:53:44] » Do you need from anyone else?
[1:53:47] » Chair, if I could just interrupt, do we
[1:53:49] want to have that condition revised to
[1:53:50] say no taller than two stories?
[1:53:55] I had it. Um, all homes within the
[1:53:58] subdivision shall not be more than two
[1:54:00] stories.
[1:54:00] » Okay.
[1:54:01] » You want to revise it to
[1:54:02] » No, that that's the condition, but I
[1:54:04] think on the condition on the record was
[1:54:05] no three stories.
[1:54:06] » Yes, that's correct. So then the
[1:54:08] condition the added condition should be
[1:54:10] no taller than two stories.
[1:54:13] » Yes.
[1:54:14] » Okay. Thanks. Um, the condition was read
[1:54:17] as Miss Lazovich indicated for item 28E
[1:54:20] that all homes within the subdivision
[1:54:22] shall not be more than two stories.
[1:54:25] » Thank you. And that motion carries.
[1:54:27] » Thank you.
[1:54:28] » And that will move on to city council on
[1:54:30] September 16th.
[1:54:31] » Thank you.
[1:54:32] » Thank you. Moving on to item 2926 251
[1:54:36] VA1. Applicant Sant Diego uh Santiago
[1:54:40] Espinosa owner Tress Hermanos live in
[1:54:43] trust for possible action on a land use
[1:54:44] entitlement project request to allow an
[1:54:46] existing residential accessory structure
[1:54:48] carport and patio covered that does not
[1:54:51] conform title 1906 standards for
[1:54:53] location separation setbacks and
[1:54:55] aesthetic compatibility at 1070 Griffith
[1:54:59] Avenue Ward 3. Uh staff recommends now.
[1:55:02] Can we get the staff report please?
[1:55:04] » Mr. Chair staff finds no evidence of a
[1:55:06] unique or extraordinary circumstance
[1:55:08] related to the physical characteristics
[1:55:09] of the property. As such, the hardship
[1:55:12] is self-imposed and therefore staff
[1:55:14] recommends denial. Please note,
[1:55:15] additional documentation of support was
[1:55:17] received after publication. Thank you.
[1:55:20] » Thank you. Good evening, sir. Name and
[1:55:22] address.
[1:55:23] » Santiago Spinosa, 1070 Griffith Avenue,
[1:55:27] Las Vegas, Nevada 89 104.
[1:55:29] » Okay.
[1:55:30] » Yeah. The reason I'm here, I want to see
[1:55:32] it's possible to prove to keep it the
[1:55:35] car for woman cars. You know those house
[1:55:37] doesn't have a garage. I want to see
[1:55:39] they keep it. And I live in this house
[1:55:42] for 34 years
[1:55:44] and the shade I have a around eight
[1:55:47] years already and
[1:55:52] and that's what I can say. I just want
[1:55:53] to see this possible to keep.
[1:55:55] » Thank you. This was noted as a public
[1:55:57] hearing. Anyone want to be heard, please
[1:55:59] come forward. Seeing none, I'm going to
[1:56:00] close the public hearing, turn this over
[1:56:01] to plan commission for discussion,
[1:56:03] possible action. Start with myself. U
[1:56:06] look, I I I've had a couple of requests
[1:56:09] on Griffith Avenue and recently have
[1:56:12] walked or driven down Griffith Avenue
[1:56:15] last month to look at another fence that
[1:56:17] was going up in the front yard that
[1:56:19] wasn't aesthetically compatible with
[1:56:21] anything else. And I told him that I
[1:56:23] just wouldn't be able to support it. Um,
[1:56:26] and it's, you know, Griffith Avenue, the
[1:56:29] street that you live on's really nice
[1:56:31] street. Like, everybody takes care of
[1:56:33] their houses and they they look nice.
[1:56:35] It's one of the nicest little streets in
[1:56:37] in the neighborhood. So, you should be
[1:56:39] proud of the the street that you're on.
[1:56:41] » Uh, and in saying that, I I mean, I
[1:56:45] don't want to start having carports pop
[1:56:48] up in the front of all the houses and
[1:56:50] and things of the sort. So it it it's
[1:56:53] not compatible with the house. I I have
[1:56:56] a history of like following uh staff's
[1:56:59] recommendations on these. Uh the state
[1:57:01] law says we have to show prove that
[1:57:03] there's some sort of hardship. There's
[1:57:05] no hardship that is proven here. So I do
[1:57:09] understand trying to trying to, you
[1:57:12] know, keep keep the heat off your cars.
[1:57:14] I just I can't approve it and especially
[1:57:16] here because you live on a a pretty
[1:57:19] amazing street and it it wouldn't match
[1:57:21] anything else up and down that street.
[1:57:23] So, um anyways, for those reasons,
[1:57:27] nobody else has any comments. Um I'm on
[1:57:31] item number 29. I'm going to have to
[1:57:34] follow staff's recommendation for
[1:57:36] denial. So,
[1:57:38] » Okay.
[1:57:39] » Motions on the floor.
[1:57:43] And let me reset mine.
[1:57:50] Um, just go ahead and mark me down as a
[1:57:53] denial.
[1:57:57] » And that motion carries.
[1:57:58] » And that will move on to city council on
[1:58:00] September 16th.
[1:58:01] » All right. Thank you.
[1:58:02] » Okay. Thank you. All right. Uh, moving
[1:58:06] on to item number 3026-0252
[1:58:10] V1. Applicant owner Daniel Aguar for
[1:58:12] possible action on land use entitlement
[1:58:14] project request to allow existing
[1:58:16] residential accessory structure card
[1:58:18] that does not
[1:58:21] conform to title 1906 development
[1:58:23] standards for location separation
[1:58:25] separation and aesthetic compatibility
[1:58:28] at 36 or 3525 Struts Avenue Ward 3.
[1:58:33] Staff recommends no. Can we get the
[1:58:34] staff report, please?
[1:58:36] » Mr. Chair, this request is the result of
[1:58:38] an open code enforcement case. This is a
[1:58:40] request for a variance to allow an
[1:58:42] existing carport that does not conform
[1:58:44] to Title 1906 development standards.
[1:58:46] Staff finds no evidence of a unique or
[1:58:48] extraordinary circumstance has been
[1:58:50] presented and that the applicant has
[1:58:52] created a self-imposed hardship by
[1:58:53] constructing a structure that does not
[1:58:55] conform to Title 19 development
[1:58:57] standards. Therefore, our staff
[1:58:59] recommends denial of the requested
[1:59:00] variance. staff notes that a blue
[1:59:03] sheetated staff report has been added to
[1:59:04] your supplemental packets. Also, please
[1:59:07] note additional documents for protest
[1:59:09] were received after publication. Thank
[1:59:11] you.
[1:59:11] » Thank you. Is the applicant here on this
[1:59:14] particular item? Seeing no applicant, uh
[1:59:17] I'm going to open this up for a public
[1:59:18] hearing. Anyone from the public want to
[1:59:20] be heard on this item? Seeing none, I'm
[1:59:22] going to close the public hearing, turn
[1:59:24] it over to plan commission for
[1:59:26] discussion, possible action, starting
[1:59:28] with myself. Uh historically, I do not
[1:59:31] like carports in the front yard,
[1:59:33] especially if they're not aesthetically
[1:59:35] compatible with uh the house or the
[1:59:37] neighborhood. Um there's not a ton of
[1:59:41] carports in the neighborhood, which
[1:59:43] would make this compatible with that
[1:59:45] neighborhood. Um, and so therefore, uh,
[1:59:50] if there's no other comments, I'm going
[1:59:52] to go ahead and make a motion on item
[1:59:55] number 36 or 30 26-0252
[1:59:58] VR1. Move to follow staff's
[2:00:01] recommendation for denial. Please cast
[2:00:03] your vote.
[2:00:10] That motion carries
[2:00:11] » And that will move on to city council on
[2:00:13] September 16th.
[2:00:15] » Thank you. Moving on to item 3126-0256
[2:00:19] EO1 applicant owner AFL CIO uh Southern
[2:00:24] Nevada Building and Construction Trade

[2:00:30] single family residential to PO
[2:00:31] professional office at 360 Shadow Lane
[2:00:34] Ward 1. Staff recommends approval.
[2:00:37] Mr. Davio.
[2:00:40] Yeah, I just want to disclose that I am
[2:00:42] an executive board member on but it
[2:00:44] really has no effect on my me voting
[2:00:48] either way. So I'm going to vote.
[2:00:50] » Thank you, sir. Can we get the staff
[2:00:52] report?
[2:00:53] » Mr. Chairman, the proposed reszoning
[2:00:55] from R1 single family residential to PO
[2:00:59] professional office will allow for the
[2:01:01] subject site to be in conformance with
[2:01:03] its current use of office other than
[2:01:05] listed as well as its current general
[2:01:08] plan designation of office. Therefore,
[2:01:11] staff recommends approval of the
[2:01:13] resoning request. Please note additional
[2:01:15] documentation of support was received
[2:01:18] after publication. Thank you.
[2:01:20] » Thank you. Good evening. Hello, my name

[2:01:37] broker of Wealth Realy. I'm here just in
[2:01:39] case you guys have any questions. Um, a
[2:01:42] long time ago, I was a member of
[2:01:44] Teamster Local 995, which operates on
[2:01:46] shadow. That area has had these union
[2:01:50] places forever. I don't know why it was
[2:01:52] never changed earlier. It conforms. So
[2:01:57] if you have any questions.
[2:01:58] » Okay. Thank you. Appreciate it. Uh this
[2:02:01] was noted as a public hearing. Anyone
[2:02:03] want to be heard? Please come forward.
[2:02:04] Seeing none, I'm close to public
[2:02:05] hearing. Turn it over to plan commission
[2:02:07] for discussion uh uh and action.
[2:02:10] Commissioner Rogan. I make a motion to

[2:02:37] V1 applicant owner Nevada donor network
[2:02:41] incorporated for possible action land
[2:02:42] use entitlement project request to allow
[2:02:44] a front yard fence that does not conform
[2:02:47] to title 19.08 development standards for
[2:02:49] height at 1050 East Sahara Avenue Ward
[2:02:52] 3. Staff recommends no. Can we get the
[2:02:54] staff report please?
[2:02:56] » Mr. Chairman, no evidence of a unique or
[2:02:58] extraordinary circumstance related to
[2:03:00] the physical characteristics of the
[2:03:02] property has been presented to warrant
[2:03:04] the requested variance. As such, the
[2:03:06] hardship is self-imposed and therefore
[2:03:09] staff recommends denial. Thank you.
[2:03:11] » Thank you. Good evening, sir.
[2:03:13] » Good evening. My name is Jose Chavez
[2:03:15] with SCA Design,
[2:03:17] 2140 East Pebble Road, sweet 140 Las
[2:03:22] Vegas, Nevada 89123.
[2:03:25] I'm here on behalf of the applicant who
[2:03:27] is proposing an 8 foot tall fence. I
[2:03:30] have no other presentation and uh what
[2:03:34] answer any questions you have.
[2:03:35] » Thank you. This was noted as a public
[2:03:38] hearing. Anyone want to be heard, please
[2:03:39] come forward. Seeing none, I'm going to
[2:03:40] close the public here and turn it over
[2:03:42] to plan commission for discussion and
[2:03:43] possible action. Um I I know this area
[2:03:46] it's in the uh around Sahara near
[2:03:50] Maryland Parkway where they're all
[2:03:51] private streets. uh the lots are just
[2:03:55] scattered all over and it it it doesn't
[2:03:58] really make a whole lot of sense. It
[2:04:00] does create like an area for a lot of
[2:04:02] lot of um uh transient people to uh post
[2:04:06] up and so I I do understand the need for
[2:04:09] this fence. Uh I think it's uh
[2:04:11] appropriate and I can uh support it.
[2:04:13] There's no other comments. Ready to make
[2:04:15] a motion.
[2:04:17] » Go ahead.
[2:04:18] » Um you're on your landscape plan. You
[2:04:21] have Sorry. Excuse me. On your landscape
[2:04:24] plan, you have
[2:04:27] a palm. Would you be willing to um
[2:04:30] switch your trees to those from the
[2:04:34] SNWA, Southern Nevada Water Authority,
[2:04:37] the fast growing trees that are
[2:04:40] identified on their tree list?
[2:04:42] » Yes, we would.
[2:04:44] » Is there actually enough room on the
[2:04:46] front of this property to be able to
[2:04:47] grow a a large tree?
[2:04:50] » I believe so. Okay. Because I know a lot
[2:04:53] of those properties in this area are up
[2:04:56] against the uh or there's not that much
[2:04:58] room.
[2:05:01] » Yeah, we're willing to change the plants
[2:05:03] as necessary in the conditions. It does
[2:05:06] look to be about a 15 foot by 30 foot
[2:05:10] area that uh the palm is in the middle
[2:05:12] of. So that would be a
[2:05:17] » Mr. Mr. Chairman, through you with this
[2:05:19] particular variance application, we
[2:05:21] would not be able to condition for the
[2:05:23] trees. It would just have to be a
[2:05:25] » Okay. I wouldn't here at the meeting.
[2:05:27] » I wouldn't be inclined to change a tree
[2:05:29] anyways. So, thank you.
[2:05:31] Um on this particular project, I'm ready
[2:05:34] to make a motion. Item number 3426-266
[2:05:38] V1. Uh move to approve subject to
[2:05:41] staff's conditions. And you're uh agree
[2:05:44] with all staff's conditions.
[2:05:46] » We agree.
[2:05:46] » Thank you.
[2:05:49] Thank you.
[2:05:50] » Please cast your vote.
[2:05:53] That motion carries.
[2:05:56] Mr. Floyd
[2:05:59] and that is final action tonight unless
[2:06:00] appeal to city clerk in 10 days.
[2:06:02] » Thank you.
[2:06:05] 30 36 26-0272
[2:06:08] applicant owner corner of Main Street
[2:06:11] LLC for possible action on the following
[2:06:13] land use entitlement project request at
[2:06:14] the southeast corner of Utah Avenue and
[2:06:16] Main Street Ward 3 Diaz. Staff
[2:06:19] recommends approval. Um and staff
[2:06:21] recommends now on the SDR 36A is 26-0272
[2:06:26] Z1 from CM commercial industrial to C2
[2:06:30] general commercial. Uh 36B is 26-0272
[2:06:34] SDR1
[2:06:36] for a proposed one-story 26 uh 26,248
[2:06:40] ft commercial development with 333
[2:06:43] ft of outdoor patio space with waiverss
[2:06:45] of appendix F interim downtown Las Vegas
[2:06:48] uh development standards area one. Can
[2:06:50] we get the staff report, please?
[2:06:53] » Mr. chair. Uh although the proposed
[2:06:56] infill development would further
[2:06:57] revitalization efforts in the gateway
[2:06:59] district, staff finds the proposed
[2:07:01] development will negatively impact
[2:07:02] parking in the immediate area. The
[2:07:05] commercial site provides no on-site
[2:07:06] parking spaces where 119 parking spaces
[2:07:10] would be required in another area of the
[2:07:12] city. Uh as the applicant has indicated,
[2:07:15] several food and beverage tenants. Uh
[2:07:17] staff finds that providing zero parking
[2:07:19] spaces places an undue burden on the
[2:07:21] surrounding properties to provide
[2:07:23] parking for future tenants, employees,
[2:07:25] and patrons. As such, the proposed
[2:07:27] development is not compatible with
[2:07:29] adjacent development and development in
[2:07:31] the area. Staff recommends approval of
[2:07:33] the resoning and denial of the site
[2:07:35] development plan review. If approved,
[2:07:37] the site development plan review will be
[2:07:38] subject to conditions. Thank you.
[2:07:42] » Thank you. Good evening, sir.
[2:07:45] » Good evening. It's me again, Jose
[2:07:46] Chavez, uh, with sea design 2140 East
[2:07:51] Pebble Road, sweet 140 Las Vegas, Nevada
[2:07:54] 89123.
[2:07:56] On behalf of the applicant, we feel that
[2:07:58] the proposed project is designed to
[2:08:00] enhance visual interest in the area. The
[2:08:03] building will reinforce active
[2:08:05] pedestrian environment and it is
[2:08:07] compatible with the surrounding arts
[2:08:09] district context. With these items in
[2:08:11] mind, I respectfully ask for your
[2:08:13] approval and I'm open to any questions.
[2:08:16] » Thank you. This was noted as a public
[2:08:18] hearing. Anyone want to be heard, please
[2:08:20] come forward. Seeing none, I'm close
[2:08:21] public hearing. Turn it over to plan
[2:08:23] commission. Uh starting with myself. Um
[2:08:27] thank you for giving me a call talking
[2:08:28] about your project. It's a beautiful
[2:08:30] project. It's uh right near that that
[2:08:33] old 7-Eleven. the old wise guys uh were
[2:08:36] there at one point and uh that
[2:08:38] building's been torn down. Um I I do
[2:08:42] understand uh staff's uh report about uh
[2:08:46] you know, no parking for this building.
[2:08:49] Uh but I'm hoping that uh I'm hoping
[2:08:51] that all those patrons will go over to
[2:08:53] the parking garage and help make a
[2:08:55] couple of payments on that big bond that
[2:08:57] we have to pay off. Uh so I'm I'm I'm
[2:09:00] happy we're can get more more parking in
[2:09:02] that parking garage. and you're you're
[2:09:04] literally on the same block or one block
[2:09:06] over um from that parking garage. So,
[2:09:10] [snorts] um anyways, I like the like the
[2:09:12] project. I think uh with having a large
[2:09:14] tenant mix, it's kind of what we're
[2:09:16] looking for over there. So, um uh good
[2:09:20] luck with your project. Does anybody
[2:09:21] else have any questions on this one?
[2:09:24] » Go ahead, M. Uh Commissioner Taylor.
[2:09:26] » Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um it's a really
[2:09:29] neat looking project. I love the murals.
[2:09:31] So, um, looking forward to seeing it,
[2:09:33] but I just wanted to just in to be
[2:09:36] consistent with what we've said with
[2:09:37] landscaping for other projects. I really
[2:09:41] appreciate that you were going to put in
[2:09:42] 36-inch box trees, but are you willing
[2:09:44] to accept the condition that instead of
[2:09:46] 36-inch box that it be it's a standard
[2:09:49] condition we're cooking in now? So,
[2:09:51] large, fast growing trees on the SNWA
[2:09:54] plant list. Uh, with a 3-in caliber,
[2:09:56] it's above. Great.
[2:09:58] » Let me interject. Uh where where are
[2:10:00] these trees that you're asking them to
[2:10:02] put in?
[2:10:03] » I thought that am I looking at the wrong
[2:10:04] project? I must be
[2:10:05] » Because there's already street trees.
[2:10:07] » There are street trees
[2:10:08] » Going around this project and I'm not
[2:10:10] inclined to make them put in uh
[2:10:13] » I'm looking at I'm looking at the
[2:10:14] landscaping plan under the supporting
[2:10:16] documentation. Am I looking at the wrong
[2:10:18] one? No, I'm not. 0272. If you look at
[2:10:20] page two of seven for his supporting
[2:10:23] documentation, he has in here seven
[2:10:28] Mexican ebony that are the 36 in box.
[2:10:32] So, were those to be installed or are
[2:10:33] those the existing street trees that
[2:10:35] you're just identifying?
[2:10:36] » There were existing street trees that we
[2:10:39] were identifying. We actually added a
[2:10:40] few more in this iteration in this view.
[2:10:43] » You are adding in a couple is what
[2:10:45] you're saying.
[2:10:46] » A couple. Yes.
[2:10:47] » Yeah. Okay. So then, yeah, just instead
[2:10:49] of them being 36inch box, the ones that
[2:10:51] you are adding, not the ones that are
[2:10:53] existing street trees, if we can just
[2:10:56] have it be that language that we've been
[2:10:58] using as a condition.
[2:11:00] » I I'm I'm not willing to put that
[2:11:03] language on this property. So, if you'd
[2:11:06] like to do it in your word, that's fine.
[2:11:08] I'm fine with my 36inch box trees uh on
[2:11:11] this particular property.
[2:11:13] » Okay. Thank you. Thanks for putting in
[2:11:15] 36inch boxes, though.
[2:11:17] » [snorts]
[2:11:19] » All right. Any other comments?
[2:11:23] All right. Seeing none, I'm going go
[2:11:25] ahead and make a motion on 36A and B. Uh
[2:11:29] motion for approval subject staff's
[2:11:31] conditions. And you agree to the

[2:13:57] » Thank you. Moving on to item 3826-0295
[2:14:00] B1. applicant Epic Development owner and
[2:14:03] at 215 LLC for possible action on land
[2:14:06] use entitlement project request to allow
[2:14:08] a proposed perimeter and uh retaining
[2:14:10] walls that do not conform to title 1908
[2:14:12] development standards for height located
[2:14:14] on the north side of Hammer Lane
[2:14:15] approximately 700 ft east of Shamberg
[2:14:18] Road Ward 4. Staff recommends denial.
[2:14:20] Can we get the staff report please?
[2:14:22] » Mr. Chair, staff finds no evidence of a
[2:14:24] unique or extraordinary circumstance
[2:14:26] related to the physical characteristics
[2:14:28] of the property. Uh, as such, the
[2:14:30] hardship is self-imposed and therefore
[2:14:32] staff recommends denial. Thank you.
[2:14:35] » Thank you. Uh, good evening, sir.
[2:14:37] » Hi, my name is Jason Thompson. I'm with
[2:14:39] the owner, Anna 215 LLC. Uh, the address
[2:14:42] is 3227 East Warm Springs Road, Sweet
[2:14:45] 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120.
[2:14:48] » Jeff Thompson, Tanny Engineering, 6030
[2:14:51] South Jones Boulevard, the with Tanny
[2:14:54] Engineering, the civil on the project.
[2:14:56] » Okay. Would you like to talk about the
[2:14:58] project a little bit?
[2:14:59] » Yes. Can I get the camera on?
[2:15:02] » Yes. We can go to the overhead. Perfect.
[2:15:04] » There we go. So, this is our site plan.
[2:15:07] Basically, we already have an existing
[2:15:09] uh self- storage facility here to the
[2:15:11] west of it that we built uh I think 5
[2:15:14] years ago. Uh we're at what we're
[2:15:17] looking to do now is just add this
[2:15:18] additional piece. It's going to be
[2:15:20] covered RV parking and some RV storage
[2:15:22] here. And this is basically a leftover
[2:15:25] piece from when they created the 215
[2:15:26] rideway.
[2:15:28] Uh what we're asking for is some
[2:15:30] retaining walls because of the slope of
[2:15:32] the project. So this is the current
[2:15:34] site. These are the total lines. If you
[2:15:36] look at it, if you calculate this out,
[2:15:38] it's about 6.7% slope across here, 6.3.
[2:15:42] Um and then the fact that the walls are
[2:15:44] kind of necessary, I think is attested
[2:15:46] to by the fact that if you look at all
[2:15:48] the neighboring projects, they all have
[2:15:49] walls that exceed the standard. This is
[2:15:51] our project when we built it. There's
[2:15:53] like a 10-ft retaining wall over here.
[2:15:55] These guys have another 5ft retaining
[2:15:56] wall here. This is a busy yard that's to
[2:15:59] the south of us. And there is some
[2:16:02] residential houses over here to the
[2:16:04] southeast. On this busy yard, this is
[2:16:07] what the wall looks like directly across
[2:16:08] from our project. This is the retaining
[2:16:11] wall. This is a screen wall. So, it's
[2:16:13] about a um 9 ft retaining wall right
[2:16:17] here. And there's a 6ft screen wall on
[2:16:20] top. And then there's another like 4
[2:16:21] foot retaining wall down here. This is
[2:16:22] directly across the street from us. And
[2:16:25] then additionally, like I said, to the
[2:16:26] southeast, those are the houses. Once
[2:16:28] again, a sixoot screen wall, a 6ft
[2:16:30] retainer, and then another 8ft wall
[2:16:31] below it. So the topography here, as you
[2:16:35] can see, everything is sloping down to
[2:16:38] the 215 rightway.
[2:16:42] And because of that, and because it's a
[2:16:43] weird infill piece, and then we have a
[2:16:45] sewer easement over here that we have to
[2:16:47] get down to grade for so we can maintain
[2:16:49] access to the sewer. Because of this, we
[2:16:51] believe we need to have a variance for
[2:16:54] the wall height so we're able to put in
[2:16:55] the walls around the piece and make it
[2:16:57] usable for the RV stoages.
[2:16:59] » Okay. Thank you. Um, did you have
[2:17:02] anything?
[2:17:03] » No, that's good. I'm we're here to
[2:17:04] answer any questions.
[2:17:05] » Perfect. All right. This was not as a
[2:17:07] public hearing. Anyone want to be heard,
[2:17:09] please come down. Seeing none, I'm close
[2:17:11] public hearing. turned it over to
[2:17:12] planning commission for discussion,
[2:17:13] possible action. I looked at this, I
[2:17:15] spoke to you gentlemen. It seems like uh
[2:17:18] at the beginning I was uh a little
[2:17:20] shocked, but then I start getting on
[2:17:21] Google Maps and looking at the
[2:17:22] residential neighborhood across the
[2:17:24] street had just as tall of a wall. The
[2:17:26] one directly across the street has the
[2:17:28] same thing. You you it there's just a
[2:17:31] lot of lot of terrain topography around
[2:17:33] that general area. So, um it is
[2:17:37] compatible with uh other projects in
[2:17:39] that neighborhood. Does anybody else
[2:17:41] have any comments on this?
[2:17:44] » No, but I'm happy to make a motion on
[2:17:46] it.
[2:17:46] » Okay, please do.
[2:17:47] » Um,
[2:17:49] on item 3826-0295
[2:17:53] BR1, uh, would like to go ahead and make
[2:17:55] a motion to approve subject to all
[2:17:57] conditions. And you agree to all
[2:17:58] conditions?
[2:17:59] » Absolutely.
[2:18:01] » Thank you. Motion's on the floor. Please
[2:18:03] cast your vote.
[2:18:11] And that motion carries. Thank you,
[2:18:13] commissioner.
[2:18:14] » Thank you.
[2:18:16] » And that will move on to city council on
[2:18:17] September 16th.
[2:18:19] » Thank you. On item number 3926-0297
[2:18:22] STR1 applicant Las Vegas bill bill bill
[2:18:24] billboards owner Twisted Willow
[2:18:26] Investments LLC for possible action on a
[2:18:28] land use entitlement project request for
[2:18:30] the proposed structural modification
[2:18:32] addition of a digital LED electronic
[2:18:35] message illumination to the east and
[2:18:36] west faces of a existing non-conforming
[2:18:39] off- premise sign at 2401 West Bonanza
[2:18:41] Road W 5. Uh staff recommends now. Can
[2:18:44] we get the staff report please?
[2:18:45] » And I apologize Mr. Chairman Seth Floyd.
[2:18:47] So the last item was final action. Let's
[2:18:49] build the city clerk in 10day. So item
[2:18:51] 38 is final action.
[2:18:52] » Okay. Thank you,
[2:18:55] » Mr. Chair. The applicant is requesting a
[2:18:57] site development plan review for the
[2:18:58] proposed structural modification in
[2:19:00] digital conversion of the east and west
[2:19:02] static faces of an existing
[2:19:04] non-conforming off- premise sign. Staff
[2:19:06] finds that the digitally illuminated
[2:19:08] panels on this location may negatively
[2:19:10] affect uh have negative visual impacts
[2:19:14] on the condominium units located
[2:19:16] directly to the northeast of the
[2:19:18] existing off-remise sign. The sign is
[2:19:21] located approximately 100 ft from the
[2:19:24] southern building and approximately 75
[2:19:26] ft from the western building which has
[2:19:28] the most window and patio exposure to
[2:19:31] the sign. Pursuant to title 19,
[2:19:33] electronic message units uh must be
[2:19:36] located or located within 200 feet of
[2:19:39] property zone for residential use are
[2:19:41] prohibited for on-remise signs and
[2:19:43] discouraged for off- premise signs
[2:19:45] unless they are not visible from the
[2:19:47] protected property. For this reason,
[2:19:50] conversion of the illuminated panels at
[2:19:52] this location is not recommended at this
[2:19:55] existing off- premise sign use may be
[2:19:57] rendered incompatible with the adjacent
[2:19:59] development. Staff therefore recommends
[2:20:01] denial of the site development plan
[2:20:03] review. Thank you.
[2:20:04] » Thank you. Good evening.
[2:20:05] » Good evening. Lucy Stewart, 1930 Village
[2:20:08] Center Circle. Your name.
[2:20:10] » Uh Greg Espazito, 1442 White Drive. And
[2:20:14] and while we do appreciate staff's um
[2:20:17] comments that this is a little bit
[2:20:19] different because if we can go to the
[2:20:20] overhead please the the north edge of
[2:20:24] our
[2:20:26] sign is at the south edge of the
[2:20:29] building that faces um US 95.
[2:20:37] I'm showing you but you can't see.
[2:20:38] Sorry. Thank you. Um so as you can see
[2:20:41] the north edge of the sign is equal to
[2:20:44] the um south edge of the building which
[2:20:47] really faces and is oriented towards
[2:20:49] US95. But what's interesting is that the
[2:20:54] south the the bottom of the of the um
[2:20:57] billboard is actually above the top of
[2:20:59] the um above the top of the the uh
[2:21:04] balconies there. And as you can see,
[2:21:06] this item that's facing to the to the
[2:21:09] residences is the back end. So there's
[2:21:12] no lighting there. But what's I think e
[2:21:14] even more interesting is that this
[2:21:16] building that is facing the billboard,
[2:21:20] this is what the wall is. That's every
[2:21:22] wall on every floor. It's a solid wall
[2:21:24] there. The building the places are
[2:21:26] oriented towards the street or the um
[2:21:29] other the other buildings oriented
[2:21:31] towards the shopping center, but this is
[2:21:32] the closest building and it's solid.
[2:21:34] There's no windows, there's no doors,
[2:21:36] there's no openings. It's just a
[2:21:38] passageway. Um, but Mr. Espazito is
[2:21:40] going to talk about the um light and any
[2:21:43] impacts on the residences.
[2:21:48] » Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and
[2:21:50] members of the commission.
[2:21:54] So, as it was read into the record by
[2:21:56] staff, um you know, their concern is
[2:21:58] that this if this gets converted to a
[2:22:01] digital uh billboard, it may have a
[2:22:04] negative v visual impact on the
[2:22:06] condominium units and that the western
[2:22:10] building is 75 ft uh and in the Stafford
[2:22:14] 40 degrees, which has the most window
[2:22:15] and patio exposure.
[2:22:18] I'll get back to that part in a second.
[2:22:20] Um, back in 2008,
[2:22:24] uh, the Outdoor Advertising Association
[2:22:26] of America, uh, commissioned a Dr. Ian
[2:22:29] Leuen, uh, to conduct a study on this
[2:22:32] exact subject, uh, the impact of
[2:22:35] converting digital billboards,
[2:22:38] conventional billboards to digital
[2:22:41] billboards. And, uh, a whole bunch of
[2:22:44] math went into that uh, study, and I'll
[2:22:46] go over that in a second. First, um it
[2:22:49] needs to be said that each one of uh the
[2:22:53] billboards that Las Vegas Billboards
[2:22:55] puts up all have this photo cell. This
[2:22:58] photo cell goes right alongside the LEDs
[2:23:02] that are on the billboard. And uh that
[2:23:06] photo cell uh is set to where the
[2:23:09] brightness will always be will will be
[2:23:13] no more than.3
[2:23:16] foot candles above ambient light. Uh so
[2:23:19] that that photo cell constantly measures
[2:23:22] the ambient light. uh it's not on a
[2:23:24] timer and uh it'll never and obviously a
[2:23:29] foot candle uh is the amount of light
[2:23:32] one candle puts out at one foot in a
[2:23:36] completely blackened room. Um so uh the
[2:23:40] sign the brightness will never be more
[2:23:42] than.3 foot candles. Uh and
[2:23:47] the sign will be limited to 7500 knits
[2:23:52] nits. uh during daytime hours and 250
[2:23:56] nits uh at nighttime and I'll get into
[2:24:01] uh what that means uh in a minute. The
[2:24:04] uh.3 foot candle maximum illuminance
[2:24:07] level uh was derived from a report
[2:24:10] completed by a former president of uh
[2:24:14] SNA which uh governs billboards or
[2:24:18] regulates billboards.
[2:24:20] um it is the recommended level, maximum
[2:24:22] level to prevent light trespass uh which
[2:24:25] is what staff's concern is um right now.
[2:24:31] So, getting back to knits and foot
[2:24:34] candles and all that such, I want to
[2:24:36] point out that currently on the current
[2:24:38] billboard, there are three
[2:24:42] um metal hali lights that illuminate
[2:24:46] that billboard from underneath.
[2:24:51] I do not have the exact number on what
[2:24:52] those are, but industry standard, I did
[2:24:55] some research and industry standard uh
[2:24:57] those are 400 watt metal halid uh lights
[2:25:01] currently on there. Each one of those
[2:25:04] puts out 43,000 lumens. And so that side
[2:25:09] of the billboard that currently faces
[2:25:11] those condos,
[2:25:13] if those are 400 watt lights, uh
[2:25:16] currently emits 129,000
[2:25:19] uh lumens
[2:25:21] that gets projected up to the billboard
[2:25:23] and then reflected out. Uh there is a
[2:25:26] lot of light trespass um with those
[2:25:28] numbers.
[2:25:30] By way of comparison, uh the maximum
[2:25:34] nighttime that uh is agreed to in this
[2:25:36] application, which is 250 nits, which is
[2:25:39] what I said earlier, is only 49,000
[2:25:42] lumens. So, converting this to digital
[2:25:47] uh will already cause, I believe, like a
[2:25:49] 68% reduction in the amount of lumens
[2:25:53] that those neighbors are going to be
[2:25:55] exposed to.
[2:26:03] speaking to uh what Lucy was talking
[2:26:06] about a few minutes ago.
[2:26:09] This is the So, first of all, if you'll
[2:26:11] remember what staff said in their uh
[2:26:13] recommendation, it was talking about how
[2:26:16] the building the the the western
[2:26:18] building was 75 ft.
[2:26:23] First of all, so this is what they're
[2:26:24] calling the the the uh southern
[2:26:27] building. As she pointed out, there are
[2:26:29] no balconies and no uh windows on the
[2:26:34] two uh um facades uh that would be most
[2:26:40] effective [laughter] affected.
[2:26:43] This is the facade that
[2:26:48] doesn't quite face the billboard. It
[2:26:51] actually runs perpendicular to the
[2:26:52] billboard. You'll notice that this is a
[2:26:55] walkway.
[2:26:56] These are the doors and these are the
[2:26:58] windows to the apartments. They're all
[2:27:00] recessed. Uh they're all recessed with a
[2:27:04] slight uh sound, light barrier, whatever
[2:27:07] you want to call it. And the walkway
[2:27:09] itself has barriers that would prevent
[2:27:13] um extra uh light trespass from this
[2:27:17] billboard.
[2:27:18] I'll also point out that um
[2:27:23] the 15 obviously right there, a very
[2:27:25] busy intersection, has a lot of of
[2:27:29] lights and ambient light coming in from
[2:27:33] um from the lights that that you know
[2:27:35] traffic needs. And uh drawing from the
[2:27:39] same study I quoted before,
[2:27:41] street lights on major roads emit one to
[2:27:44] three foot candles on their own. So, the
[2:27:48] people who live here are already staring
[2:27:51] straight into multiple
[2:27:54] freeway um lights that emit at least
[2:27:59] three times as much light as this
[2:28:01] billboard will. Um,
[2:28:05] and then finally, the most important
[2:28:07] thing I can show you here,
[2:28:09] this is this is the diagram of what the
[2:28:13] light will look like from the billboard.
[2:28:15] And so this is this is what we're
[2:28:17] worried about. This is the western
[2:28:20] building that staff is most worried
[2:28:22] about, the 75 ft one. That blue line is
[2:28:25] the extent of where the light will
[2:28:28] shine. Uh you'll not it's a 90° angle
[2:28:31] that comes off the face of the uh
[2:28:34] billboard. And so the limit of what will
[2:28:39] shine towards that uh uh housing
[2:28:42] development hits the wall. it hits the
[2:28:45] blank wall where there are no uh
[2:28:47] balconies,
[2:28:49] no doors, no windows.
[2:28:52] And furthermore, as I said, uh it's
[2:28:56] never going to go above.3.
[2:28:58] Uh
[2:29:00] as you get further out, as you get to
[2:29:02] the 200T mark, it actually drops down to
[2:29:05] 0.25.
[2:29:07] So,
[2:29:10] not only will switching it to digital
[2:29:14] generate less lumens,
[2:29:18] but as it goes out further, it'll have
[2:29:21] less and less of an effect. And the
[2:29:24] building is oriented in such a way,
[2:29:25] it'll never shine under their windows
[2:29:27] anyway because they're facing
[2:29:29] perpendicular the way the light is
[2:29:30] facing. So, I appreciate what staff has
[2:29:34] pointed out. Um, oh, one thing I did
[2:29:36] forget to say, all of these security
[2:29:38] lights, all these exterior lights are on
[2:29:40] all night. I drove by there the other
[2:29:43] night. That back area is lit up like a
[2:29:44] Christmas tree. It's a It's a secure
[2:29:46] location. All these lights are on all
[2:29:48] night anyway. So, area back there is
[2:29:51] already pretty well lit up. This is
[2:29:52] actually going to reduce how much lights
[2:29:54] back there.
[2:29:56] » We agree to do the um
[2:29:59] to put the things on that side.
[2:30:02] » Yeah. Delivers.
[2:30:06] Did you want to say that?
[2:30:09] » What's going to limit I'm my apologies.
[2:30:12] I was just scolded by my boss. What
[2:30:15] what's going to limit uh the light to
[2:30:18] that 90° angle are louvers. If you'll
[2:30:21] remember about a month or so ago, um we
[2:30:24] were talking about louvers that would
[2:30:25] prevent it from going down and and
[2:30:27] affecting people directly underneath it.
[2:30:29] Uh the technology here is going to limit
[2:30:32] to this 90 degree angle to where it
[2:30:35] doesn't affect the residents
[2:30:37] as much as if it was a regular
[2:30:40] billboard.
[2:30:42] » So that would be a condition that we um
[2:30:44] agree to that there would be louvers on
[2:30:45] the east side of the billboard.
[2:30:47] » Okay. Thank you. Uh this was not as
[2:30:50] public hearing. Anyone want to be heard?
[2:30:51] Please come down. See none. I'm going
[2:30:54] close public hearing. Turn this over to
[2:30:55] Commissioner Walters.
[2:30:58] Hi. Yes, thank you for calling. Um, I
[2:31:01] just want to make sure we're we're um
[2:31:03] working on the louver uh wording for for
[2:31:06] that. But thank you for the analysis of
[2:31:09] the lighting and for letting uh you sent
[2:31:11] me a study. It was very interesting. Uh
[2:31:13] I appreciate that. Um it does seem I did
[2:31:17] go by there. It does seem like this
[2:31:18] development was was built with the um
[2:31:22] with the knowledge and recognition that
[2:31:24] there are a lot of lit billboards,
[2:31:26] namely the giant lit cowboy also uh at
[2:31:30] the other side of your property. So, it
[2:31:32] does look like they they took that into
[2:31:34] account for the residents of that
[2:31:36] particular complex.
[2:31:38] » Thank you. And uh Commissioner Walters,
[2:31:40] I I I have a few comments.
[2:31:42] » Yes. So,
[2:31:44] you know, I I'm I'm not necessarily
[2:31:46] against uh LED billboards, but I I am
[2:31:49] against um you know, the constant
[2:31:52] changing and blinding of people as
[2:31:54] they're going down the road because you
[2:31:56] go from a dark image to a lighter image.
[2:31:57] And look, I I know I worked with y'all
[2:32:00] and y'all been in my office and y'all
[2:32:01] showed me a book and y'all it was pretty
[2:32:04] impressive on how y'all go about doing
[2:32:06] that. Um and and and being on a highway,
[2:32:11] um you know, I'm I'm not as opposed, but
[2:32:16] you know, you have those louvers. Can
[2:32:18] you can you have those louvers set up? I
[2:32:21] mean, because one of the biggest
[2:32:23] problems with this is the the changing.
[2:32:25] I mean, I can sit in in in my room
[2:32:30] on Fremont and there's lights and it's
[2:32:34] bright and it's bright in my bedroom
[2:32:36] with the with the blinds closed. But if
[2:32:40] if it's a constant light, then it
[2:32:43] doesn't bother me. I can I can go to
[2:32:44] sleep. But if one of the light bulbs is
[2:32:47] going out and it's flickering, I can see
[2:32:49] this through my eyelids as as my eyes
[2:32:51] are closed. If I have my TV on and it's
[2:32:55] changing, I can see this and it keeps me
[2:32:58] up. So, that's my concern with the LED
[2:33:00] and residential is when it changes. It
[2:33:04] doesn't really matter to me how bright
[2:33:05] it is because you can you can adjust to
[2:33:08] that. You can't adjust to this constant
[2:33:10] changing even when your eyes are closed.
[2:33:12] So, is there a way to
[2:33:15] potentially look at a louver that kind
[2:33:18] of restricts it even a little bit more
[2:33:21] so it's not hitting those apartments?
[2:33:24] » So, to make it instead of just going
[2:33:26] down to also go like on the north side
[2:33:29] to so it would keep it from going back
[2:33:33] because we're like if
[2:33:35] » You can see the board is here and the
[2:33:37] the buildings are there. sort of to
[2:33:39] something to sort of block it from
[2:33:41] there. That
[2:33:42] » No, I'm I'm You You see the first couple
[2:33:44] of slices, you know, that come off of
[2:33:47] there. The You're going through that
[2:33:49] building. So, you're you're still Yeah.
[2:33:52] Uh right there where your pen was.
[2:33:55] You're you're still hitting the edge of
[2:33:58] well uh yeah the edge of the uh the
[2:34:00] buildings on the south side of those
[2:34:02] buildings and that north side of that
[2:34:05] that one building but going all the way
[2:34:07] down that south side of the building
[2:34:09] you're you're you're blocking it. So is
[2:34:11] there a way to put the louvers on that
[2:34:13] would help block that
[2:34:15] » Coming? Okay, good. If we can get your
[2:34:17] name and address.
[2:34:20] » Hi, I'm Jared Andrews. I'm with Jones
[2:34:22] Media. Um C6 contractor for uh Las Vegas
[2:34:26] Billboards. Address is 4145 West Tico
[2:34:29] Avenue.
[2:34:30] Um to answer your question, uh we've had
[2:34:33] I've been doing this since 2005 since
[2:34:35] digital was uh just kind of came into
[2:34:37] the picture. Um this particular we have
[2:34:40] a few different options here. This
[2:34:42] particular sign would have to be
[2:34:43] replaced with a a new um kind of a up to
[2:34:48] building code sign, right? So, uh, the
[2:34:50] option to orientate this sign just a
[2:34:52] touch, um, to kind of direct that light
[2:34:55] and kind of control the light that
[2:34:57] you're talking about is also an option.
[2:34:59] Um, that there's also what you can do, a
[2:35:02] light shield to the, uh, right side of
[2:35:05] the digital itself. Um, that would also
[2:35:08] block out some of that light that you're
[2:35:10] talking about. Um there is a billboard
[2:35:12] that we did um over off of I-15 and Blue
[2:35:17] Diamond that um was above a bunch of um
[2:35:20] actually there's three billboards there
[2:35:22] on that property, Oasis RV. Um and one
[2:35:24] of the requirements was that we put um
[2:35:26] we we essentially put decking out uh
[2:35:29] beyond the digital um at the bottom just
[2:35:32] to help block that light. uh most of the
[2:35:35] light dispersement is is what you see um
[2:35:38] that that that five feet out from the
[2:35:41] digital itself. Uh beyond that, it's not
[2:35:44] there's not a lot of which what you're
[2:35:46] catching is that brightness, you know,
[2:35:48] shock factor um could actually be
[2:35:51] reduced um by putting that decking out
[2:35:53] there. Um especially at 75 ft, which
[2:35:56] this sign is currently um was given a
[2:35:59] variance a couple years ago from 65 to
[2:36:02] 75. So, um that would there there's
[2:36:04] options there. Um especially being new
[2:36:07] construction. But
[2:36:08] » Well, I I would think the the west
[2:36:09] facing side is not a big deal because
[2:36:12] that's facing commercial. It's just
[2:36:14] those first three red roofs that I would
[2:36:16] be concerned with and you know the light
[2:36:19] hitting their their bedrooms. But I this
[2:36:23] is your warden if you have any if you'd
[2:36:26] like to look at you know trying to put
[2:36:28] the I know you talked to me about the
[2:36:30] louvers and if you'd like to maybe talk
[2:36:32] to them about conditioning to have that
[2:36:34] shield and that platform underneath to
[2:36:36] kind of help protect that apartment
[2:36:37] building that might be something to look
[2:36:39] at
[2:36:39] » And we'd agree to that condition too to
[2:36:41] both the louvers and the shield the
[2:36:43] light shield.
[2:36:44] » Okay. The to be clear, the platform and
[2:36:47] the light shield. That's what you're
[2:36:50] saying you would agree to.
[2:36:51] » Correct.
[2:36:52] » And that would be in addition to the
[2:36:54] louvers.
[2:36:55] » Yes.
[2:36:55] » Okay. What does staff understand that
[2:36:59] good enough to [laughter]
[2:37:00] » Yeah, that was my
[2:37:01] » Help craft a motion.
[2:37:03] » Uh yes. Uh through you, chair. Um, an
[2:37:06] added condition would be uh added which
[2:37:09] states louvers and a light shield shall
[2:37:11] be installed on the east face on the
[2:37:14] east side face to control the viewing
[2:37:16] angle and direct light towards intended
[2:37:18] viewers.
[2:37:20] » Can we also add the word platform
[2:37:25] » Light shield to the platform?
[2:37:27] » A light shield and a
[2:37:28] » And a platform. Okay. Uh, let me reread
[2:37:31] that. Uh, louvers. A light shield and a
[2:37:34] platform shall be installed on the east
[2:37:37] sign face to control the viewing angle
[2:37:40] and direct light towards intended
[2:37:41] viewers.
[2:37:42] » Thank you.
[2:37:45] » All right.
[2:37:46] » And we agree to that.
[2:37:47] » Thank you.
[2:37:49] » All right. I'm ready to make motion.
[2:37:51] » Please do. Well, oh,
[2:37:52] » Sorry. Thanks.
[2:37:54] » Go ahead.
[2:37:54] » Yes, Commissioner Rogan. I'm I'm not I
[2:37:56] really didn't understand any of that
[2:37:57] last bit. What is a platform? What does
[2:37:59] it look like and how does it work?
[2:38:01] » Yeah. So underneath the current
[2:38:03] catwalks, um it would just be B- decking
[2:38:06] uh material that would be installed
[2:38:08] underneath in order to kind of uh reduce
[2:38:12] the amount of visual impact that you get
[2:38:15] from the digital itself at 5T out. So it
[2:38:19] would essentially shade the ground.
[2:38:22] » Okay. So it's it's it's preventing light
[2:38:25] from going down. And since the the
[2:38:27] billboard is taller than the
[2:38:30] residential, you're you're allowing the
[2:38:32] billboard to be seen by the highway but
[2:38:34] not
[2:38:35] » Exactly
[2:38:35] » By the sir.
[2:38:38] » Okay, great. Um, did you have any
[2:38:40] conversations? I know that when we mail
[2:38:42] out these special use permit
[2:38:43] applications, we mail them to the
[2:38:45] property owners, which in this case
[2:38:46] would be the would be the owner of that
[2:38:50] apartment complex, but was there any
[2:38:51] effort made to have any discussions with
[2:38:54] the tenants that live there? No,
[2:38:56] actually I think it's a condominium
[2:38:58] project.
[2:38:58] » Is it a condominium project? So were do
[2:39:00] we know whether all those were mailed to
[2:39:03] » Mr. Chairman through you? Yes. Each
[2:39:05] condominium owner was mailed a postcard
[2:39:08] » And we got nothing back from any of
[2:39:10] them.
[2:39:11] Okay. Thank you,
[2:39:16] Commissioner Walters.
[2:39:17] » Okay. Um on item 39, that's 26-297-
[2:39:23] SDR1. Uh, I motion for approval with
[2:39:27] staff conditions. Do you agree to staff
[2:39:29] conditions?
[2:39:30] » Yes. And the additional ones we added.
[2:39:32] Thank you.

[2:39:35] record by staff. Okay. Thank you.

[2:42:12] extraordinary circumstance related to
[2:42:14] the physical characteristics of the
[2:42:16] property has been presented to warrant
[2:42:18] the requested variance. As such, the
[2:42:20] hardship is self-imposed and therefore

[2:42:41] of the sign from 114 to 162. We're not

[2:42:47] width of the sign, just reusing the
[2:42:48] existing square footage, moving it down
[2:42:50] a little bit onto the pole cover. Uh the
[2:42:53] project has already gone before the
[2:42:54] DDRC. They've reviewed it. They're ready
[2:42:56] to approve pending your approval and the
[2:42:59] city council approval. And the reason
[2:43:01] behind the project, obviously, they're
[2:43:02] changing the name back to the original
[2:43:04] name of the wedding chapel and want to
[2:43:06] restore the original
[2:43:09] style of the sign. And I'm here for any

[2:43:25] myself. Um on this particular item, I I
[2:43:29] reviewed it. it it's pretty close to
[2:43:30] what what you have. Um, and you know,
[2:43:34] you meet all the requirements of the Las
[2:43:36] Vegas Scenic Byway, which is what we're
[2:43:39] trying to achieve down there. And uh,
[2:43:41] it's a great looking sign. So, I have no
[2:43:43] problems. I'm ready to go ahead and make
[2:43:45] a motion for approval on item 4226-304
[2:43:49] V1. Move to approve subject to staff's
[2:43:52] conditions and the applicants already
[2:43:54] agreed to the conditions. Please cast

[2:44:17] 70 are required for a previously
[2:44:19] approved restaurant coffee shop at 2747
[2:44:22] North Rainbow Boulevard Ward 1. Can we
[2:44:24] get the staff report please?
[2:44:26] » Mr. chair. Uh on March 18th of this
[2:44:29] year, the city council approved a
[2:44:31] variance to allow 39 parking stalls
[2:44:33] where 76 were required on this site. Uh
[2:44:36] a new variance is requested as the
[2:44:38] subject site provides only se 37 of the
[2:44:41] parking spaces where 39 were previously

[2:44:46] evidence of a unique or extraordinary
[2:44:48] circumstance related to the physical
[2:44:50] characteristics of the property. As
[2:44:52] such, the hardship is self-imposed and

[2:45:08] Uh, as previously just stated, uh, this
[2:45:11] item was previously approved back in
[2:45:14] March. The site plan that the architect
[2:45:16] originally drew showed 39 spaces. In
[2:45:20] actuality, there were only 37. And
[2:45:22] that's why I'm standing in front of you
[2:45:24] uh today to uh redo this.
[2:45:27] » Okay. Thank you. This was noticed as a

[2:45:32] public hearing, turned over to plan
[2:45:34] commission for discussion, possible
[2:45:35] action. Commissioner Rogan,
[2:45:37] » Just so I'm clear, we initially approved
[2:45:39] it was 39 where 76 were required and
[2:45:42] this has now been changed to 37 where 70
[2:45:45] are required.
[2:45:48] » Mr. Chairman, through you. That is
[2:45:49] correct. From what I understand, they've
[2:45:52] rec recalculate the parking when it's
[2:45:54] not a shopping center.
[2:45:55] » Okay.
[2:45:56] » Um the difference between your hightra
[2:45:59] areas and then your back of house. So
[2:46:01] there was a little change in the floor
[2:46:03] plan and then in the site plan itself
[2:46:06] once they actually got into the building
[2:46:08] permit with you know real hard numbers
[2:46:12] there was a difference between the two.
[2:46:14] » So their deficiency actually got
[2:46:16] improved.
[2:46:17] » Yes. Slightly. Yes.
[2:46:18] » All right. Make a motion for approval

[2:48:05] » Can we get a vote uh a u a vote for
[2:48:11] uh Vice Chair Slotman to be on the
[2:48:14] downtown design review committee?
[2:48:18] I'm an I.
[2:48:21] » That motion carries
[2:48:22] » And that is final action unless the uh
[2:48:24] commissioner wants to appeal his own
[2:48:26] nomination in 10 days. [laughter]
[2:48:29] » Maybe expect that appeal
[2:48:33] uh 46 oceans 26-0294
[2:48:36] TXT1 applicant owner city of Las Vegas
[2:48:39] for possible action on a request amend
[2:48:41] LVMC 19.0 19.08 108 19.12 19.18 relating
[2:48:47] to contractor and outdoor storage uses
[2:48:49] and to provide for other related
[2:48:50] matters. Staffer recommends approval. Do
[2:48:52] we have a staff report? Mr.
[2:48:53] » Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Fred Solis
[2:48:55] for the record. Uh the request is to
[2:48:57] remove and replace the building service
[2:48:59] maintenance use with the new
[2:49:00] contractor's office category and
[2:49:02] contractor's plant shop and storage yard
[2:49:05] use with a new contractor's yard
[2:49:07] category. The amendment will clarify
[2:49:09] between low impact contractor offices
[2:49:11] that typically serve customers at
[2:49:13] off-site locations and the more intense
[2:49:15] contractor yards that are that include
[2:49:18] on-site storage of uh raw materials or
[2:49:21] heavy equipment. The amendment will also
[2:49:23] clarify limits for out accessory outdoor
[2:49:26] storage uh where such is allowed. Staff
[2:49:28] recommends approval of the request.
[2:49:30] Thank you.
[2:49:31] » Thank you. This was noted as a public
[2:49:33] hearing. Anyone want to be heard, please
[2:49:34] come forward.
[2:49:36] Give us your name and address for the
[2:49:38] record.
[2:49:40] » Hi. Hey. My name is Sunonny Westbrook. S
[2:49:43] U N I W S T B R O K. My address is 8109
[2:49:48] Via Delero Court and I'm here just
[2:49:50] because I'm a huge fan of the city
[2:49:52] planning commission and I didn't know
[2:49:55] this was going to be on the agenda. And
[2:49:58] my question is, you know, will this
[2:50:00] change how cargo containers can be
[2:50:03] stored on residential property or how
[2:50:06] cargo containers could possibly be used
[2:50:08] as storage on residential property?
[2:50:12] Uh, Mr. Chair, through you. Uh, no, it
[2:50:15] does not. This is strictly for in
[2:50:17] commercial and industrial um locations
[2:50:20] that have uh contracting businesses that
[2:50:23] either serve folks offsite like a
[2:50:26] plumber or a landscape that has like
[2:50:29] heavy machinery and rock and mulch. Um
[2:50:33] we're making distingua that we're
[2:50:34] distinguishing between the two uh to
[2:50:37] ensure that these higher more industrial
[2:50:41] type locations are constrained to the
[2:50:45] industrial zoning districts as opposed
[2:50:46] to the just a general contractor or a
[2:50:49] something less intense. But no, it does
[2:50:51] have doesn't have any effect on the uh
[2:50:54] the storage of containers in residential
[2:50:57] districts.
[2:50:58] » Okay. So
[2:51:01] making two different distinctions
[2:51:02] between like a home builder contractor
[2:51:05] and a plumbing contractor, a landscaping
[2:51:08] contractor, someone with a smaller
[2:51:10] business.
[2:51:11] » U Mr. Chair, three. Yes, that is
[2:51:13] correct. Um we are distinguishing
[2:51:16] between heavy machinery, raw materials,
[2:51:20] um
[2:51:22] dis dispatch of of commercial vehicles
[2:51:25] from a location versus yes, a landscaper
[2:51:28] plumber who has a truck and stores a few
[2:51:31] pipes indoors in a facility.
[2:51:34] » Okay,
[2:51:36] this is kind of a silly question, but
[2:51:37] what's the definition of a commercial
[2:51:38] vehicle? Is it a pickup truck with a
[2:51:41] sign on it or is it
[2:51:44] » What's a commercial vehicle?
[2:51:45] » It it it's funny you ask, Mr. Chair,
[2:51:47] through you. So, this text amendment
[2:51:49] does actually um define what we consider
[2:51:52] a commercial vehicle. So, if you give me
[2:51:54] a second, I can pull it up and
[2:51:56] » Well, thank you.
[2:51:58] That'd be great.
[2:51:58] » Yeah. Um
[2:52:15] It's wrong.
[2:52:22] I just I have a particular interest in
[2:52:24] cargo containers because my neighbor
[2:52:27] that I share a property border with has
[2:52:28] five in their backyard.
[2:52:40] All right. So, um almost there. One
[2:52:44] second.
[2:52:44] » You do you. I'll just keep
[2:52:46] » All right. So, um, our contractor's
[2:52:49] office now defines, uh, commercial, uh,
[2:52:53] vehicle as one that exceeds£10,000
[2:52:57] and is considered a commercial vehicle
[2:52:59] by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
[2:53:01] Administration.
[2:53:03] » Okay. And I can look up the contractor's
[2:53:06] office rules and regulations online and
[2:53:09] find all that stuff.
[2:53:10] » Yes. So, so as a this will need to go
[2:53:13] through council as an ordinance. Um, but
[2:53:16] you can look at what we have as backup
[2:53:18] on the planning commission agenda for
[2:53:20] tonight.
[2:53:21] » Um, although it won't become um um and
[2:53:25] it won't become official until it go it
[2:53:27] goes through city council through
[2:53:28] ordinance.
[2:53:29] » Okay. And then where can I find
[2:53:31] information about the use and storage of
[2:53:34] cargo containers on residential
[2:53:35] property?
[2:53:38] I think at that point I think what we
[2:53:41] would do is we would just have you go
[2:53:43] over and grab one of staff here in a
[2:53:46] second. Then they can look at you. I
[2:53:48] mean they can they can help you find
[2:53:50] that information because
[2:53:51] » Okay.
[2:53:52] » Uh that's
[2:53:53] » So it sounds like the change keeps
[2:53:55] everything the same but drills it down
[2:53:58] into different silos.
[2:54:00] » Does that sound about right?
[2:54:01] » Yeah. Through through you Mr. Chair that
[2:54:03] that's generally correct.
[2:54:05] We the interpretation of these two uses
[2:54:08] were were ambiguous at best depending on
[2:54:10] what you were trying to do. So the
[2:54:12] purpose of this um this amendment is to
[2:54:15] dial that down and to make it a little
[2:54:17] bit more clear to to individuals using
[2:54:20] either one of these uses and easier for
[2:54:22] staff and the commission to um to be
[2:54:24] able to judge what exactly is going on
[2:54:27] on a property when they they come in
[2:54:29] with one of these uses.
[2:54:31] » Okay, cool. Thank you very much.
[2:54:32] Appreciate the time.
[2:54:33] » If you want to step over to the side,
[2:54:34] they can uh tell you about the the
[2:54:36] containers on a residential property.
[2:54:39] » Fabulous. Thank you.
[2:54:40] » Okay. Thank you for coming out today.
[2:54:42] All right. Uh moving on to citizens
[2:54:44] participation.
[2:54:48] » Oh, that was still open. Okay, let's go
[2:54:51] back. Number number uh 46.
[2:54:56] Uh can I get a motion?
[2:54:59] Motion to approve. All right. Motion for
[2:55:01] approval. Please cast your vote.
[2:55:07] That motion carries
[2:55:08] » And that will move on to city council in
[2:55:10] ordinance form.
[2:55:11] » All right. Thank you. Moving on.
