V1. Applicant owner Cory Anthony Nation
[25:00]
for possible action on land use
[25:01]
entitlement project requests to allow an
[25:03]
existing residential accessory structure
[25:06]
storage structure that does not conform
[25:08]
to title 19.06 development standards for
[25:10]
setbacks, separation or aesthetic
[25:13]
compatibility in size at 650 Echorrest
[25:16]
Avenue, Ward 6. staff recommends. Now,
[25:19]
can we get the staff report, please?
[25:21]
» Yes. Um, Madame Chair, Josh for the with
[25:25]
the Department of Community Development
[25:27]
for the record for the variance request
[25:28]
for an existing residential accessory
[25:30]
structure at 6505 Echorest Avenue. Staff
[25:34]
finds no evidence of a unique or
[25:35]
extraordinary circumstance related to
[25:38]
the physical characteristics of the
[25:39]
property
[25:41]
have and um have been presented uh to
[25:44]
warrant the requested variances. As
[25:46]
such, the hardship is self-imposed and
[25:48]
therefore staff recommends denial. Thank
[25:50]
you.
[25:51]
» Thank you, sir. Good evening. Can I get
[25:53]
your name and address for the record?
[25:54]
» Good evening, vice chair, members of the
[25:56]
commission. Denise Gordio, 204, Bell
[25:58]
Isle, Port, Henderson, Nevada 89012 here
[26:01]
representing the applicant on this
[26:02]
matter. Um, you have the exact same
[26:05]
exhibit that I was going to show.
[26:06]
Basically, this is the fourth property
[26:08]
along this culde-sac that is in for the
[26:11]
exact same thing. We appreciate staffs
[26:13]
and and understand the recommendation.
[26:15]
However, this structure has been here
[26:17]
for years, has not shown to be have any
[26:20]
kind of negative impact on the on the
[26:22]
community and in fact has really
[26:24]
integrated as part of the part of the
[26:26]
culde-sac both this neighborhood and the
[26:28]
neighborhoods to the north and to the
[26:29]
south. We do have letters of support
[26:31]
from all the adjacent property owners
[26:33]
and from the culde-sac as well. Uh we
[26:36]
did and we held this because we weren't
[26:38]
sure if we were going to be able to get
[26:39]
it permitted. We've been working with
[26:41]
the building official. We did verify
[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]

[34:46]
Okay. 19, 20, and 21. Okay. Uh, let me

TMP1 Ontario unit 2 for proposed 60 unit
[36:01]

[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
[50:53]

[53:10]
land use entitlement project request for
[53:12]
a proposed massage establishment use
[53:14]
with a waiver of distance separation
[53:16]
requirements from residentially zoned

[58:51]
Um, I just um I appreciate that you were

[58:58]
that they were okay with your request. U
[59:00]
my office is right across the street

very busy um business corridor. I don't
[59:07]
really see any issues um opening up this
[59:10]
establishment in that location. I think
[59:12]
it's an appropriate use for it. Um, so

Architects uh our architect of record.
[1:01:39]
Um we're very excited about this project

[1:01:45]
the and the north. Um you know as noted
[1:01:48]
by uh staff um the uh the additional
[1:01:52]
facility is on the parcel that we lease
[1:01:56]
from the city. So it is uh it is city
[1:01:59]
land. It is um a somewhat challenging
[1:02:02]
site but we are uh excited with what
[1:02:04]
we've been able to um conceive uh to
[1:02:08]
work within that parcel. Um and uh we're
[1:02:13]
very grateful for the uh the support of
[1:02:16]
city staff as we've uh come to this this
[1:02:19]
juncture. Uh we've gone through the
[1:02:21]
process with historic preservation uh
[1:02:24]
review uh at the local uh state and
[1:02:27]
national level. So, we've gotten uh the

approvals from the National Park
[1:02:31]
Service, uh State Historic Preservation
[1:02:33]
Office, as well as the historic
[1:02:35]
preservation uh commission um to make
[1:02:38]
certain that this uh what we're doing is
[1:02:40]
respectful of uh the historic building

that we um hold very dear uh that uh is
[1:02:47]
what houses the current museum. Um, so
[1:02:51]
we are uh uh happy to discuss or answer

any questions that uh members of the

commission might have for us.
[1:02:58]
» Okay. Thank you very much. This was not
[1:03:01]
as a public hearing. Anyone want to be
[1:03:02]
heard, please come forward. Seeing none,
[1:03:04]
I'm close public hearing and turn this
[1:03:07]
over to Commissioner Walters.
[1:03:10]
» Hi. Hello. Um we're ex excited about
[1:03:14]
this expansion to the Mom Museum and
[1:03:16]
some of the work that you're doing
[1:03:18]
there. um and to see this development. I
[1:03:22]
know that you've been in talks uh for a
[1:03:24]
little while about uh uh making these
[1:03:27]
changes. So, um on your landscape plan,
[1:03:32]
I just want to ask if um your trees are
[1:03:36]
24inch box trees. A couple I'm not
[1:03:38]
really familiar with. So, uh, I'd like
[1:03:41]
to ask for condition for
[1:03:44]
those trees to be large, fast going
[1:03:48]
growing trees, um, identified in the
[1:03:50]
Southern Nevada Water Authorities tree
[1:03:53]
list with 3-in caliber at 6 in above
[1:03:57]
grade.
[1:03:58]
Is that is that something that you think
[1:04:01]
can that you're willing to
[1:04:06]
» Yes, absolutely. Is that within the
[1:04:07]
parking lot or within the perimeter
[1:04:09]
landscape buffer area?
[1:04:11]
» Uh parking lot for sure. Um both.
[1:04:15]
» Both.
[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]

[1:25:01]

[1:26:12]
conforms with the uh C1 zoning and uh
[1:26:16]
we're not asking for any type of

[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

[1:30:07]
» 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.

entitlement project request to allow an

existing residential accessory structure

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

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

[2:03:22]
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.

[2:06:13]
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]

[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

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
[2:11:33]
conditions?

the owner, Anna 215 LLC. Uh, the address
[2:14:42]
is 3227 East Warm Springs Road, Sweet

[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]

[2:39:30]

Thank you.

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
[2:42:22]
staff recommends denial of this variance
[2:42:25]
request. Please note, additional
[2:42:27]
documentation of support and protest was

variance to increase the square footage
[2:42:41]
of the sign from 114 to 162. We're not
[2:42:45]
making any changes to the height or the
[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
[2:43:12]
Oh, we also agreed to all conditions if
[2:43:15]
approved. And I'm here to answer any

myself. Um on this particular item, I I
[2:43:29]
reviewed it. it it's pretty close to

you meet all the requirements of the Las

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

[2:44:22]
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

Uh, as previously just stated, uh, this
[2:45:11]
item was previously approved back in

March. The site plan that the architect
[2:45:16]
originally drew showed 39 spaces. In

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]

» 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

improved.

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.
[2:55:13]
