PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
x Prior to recordation of a final map, a bus stop shelter pad easement must be granted
to the Regional Transportation Commission for the existing bus stop shelter along
Sahara Avenue.
ANALYSIS
The proposed map is subject to Title 19.16 and NRS requirements regarding tentative
maps. The site is located within the Beverly Green/Southridge Neighborhood and the
Gaming Enterprise Overlay District, although these will not have any bearing on the
tentative map.
Existing access is from one driveway on Paradise and the alley behind the shopping
center with access to Sahara Avenue. A portion of this alley has been vacated with
limited vehicular access. All adjacent street improvements are in place; however, it
appears that some of the existing sidewalk adjacent to the bus stop along Sahara
Avenue is located on the property. A condition of approval will require the full area of
the sidewalk to be dedicated as public right-of-way. A bus stop shelter easement must
also be granted to allow for maintenance of the existing shelter along Sahara Avenue.
An existing six-foot perimeter wall is located along the north side of the property. Since
this property and all surrounding property is developed or graded, no retaining walls are
shown or anticipated.
As a commercial subdivision, the final map must note that parking and access shall be
allowed to all parts of the property. This will be a condition of approval.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This request is for a 110-lot single-family residential subdivision on 19.53 acres within
the Skye Canyon Master Plan area located at the southeast corner of Eagle Canyon
Avenue and Egan Crest Drive.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject property is part of the Skye Canyon Master Plan Area, which is governed
by a Development Agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las
Vegas, as well as the Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Architectural Design
Guidelines originally adopted on October 21, 2011.
The Skye Canyon Land Use Plan designates the subject property as ML (Medium-Low
Density Residential), which allows up to 15 residential units per gross acre with an
average of 8.49 units per acre. The proposed density of 5.63 dwelling units per acre
falls within the maximum allowed. The dwelling units will be constructed to the Skye
Canyon R-CL Single Family Compact Lot District standards and the minimum lot size
requirement for a single-family detached product is 2,000 square feet. All proposed lot
sizes are greater than 4,177 square feet. Although it is not subject to Title 19
connectivity requirements, the design of the subdivision has a Connectivity Score of
1.28, which is below the preferred ratio of 1.30. The interior circulation is provided by
49-foot wide private streets with roll curb, gutter and sidewalks on both sides of the
street. A 37-foot stub street provided with a roll curb, gutter with sidewalks on both
sides of the street.
The submitted cross-section depicts the maximum natural grade less than two percent
across the site. Per the Sky Canyon Development Standards, all development is
allowed a maximum of six-foot tall perimeter wall. The exterior perimeter wall of the
subdivision is six-foot tall exposed perimeter wall along the north and south property
lines. The six-foot retaining wall along portion of the west property line and a six-foot
tall screen wall along the southern portion of the west property line are provided.

The Clark County School District projects that approximately 52 primary and secondary
school students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the
three schools serving the area (Bozarth Elementary School, Escobedo Middle School
and Arbor View High School), the District notes that Bozarth Elementary School and
Arbor View High School are over capacity for the 2016-17 school year, and no new
schools are planned in this area at this time.
FINDINGS (TMP-70716)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to the approved Skye Canyon Development
Agreement, the approved Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Architectural
Guidelines, and the minimum requirements set forth by Title 19 for Tentative Maps.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of this application with conditions.

Proposed Use
This project will add approximately 1,047 trips per day on Eagle Canyon Ave., Egan Crest Rd. and Grand Teton Dr.
Currently, Egan Crest is at about 5 percent of capacity and Grand Teton is at about 21 percent of capacity. With this
project, Egan Crest is expected to be at about 12 percent of capacity and Grand Teton to be at about 28 percent of
capacity. Volumes are not available for Eagle Canyon in this vicinity, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 110 additional cars, or about two every minute.

by a Development Agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las
Vegas, as well as the Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Architectural Design
Guidelines originally adopted on October 21, 2011.
The Skye Canyon Land Use Plan designates the subject property as L (Low Density
Residential), which allows up to 15 residential units per gross acre with an average of
5.49 units per acre. The proposed density of 6.64 dwelling units per acre falls within the
maximum allowed. The dwelling units will be constructed to the Skye Canyon R-CL
Single Family Compact Lot District standards and the minimum lot size requirement for
a single-family detached product is 2,000 square feet. All proposed lot sizes are greater
than 4,050 square feet. Although it is not subject to Title 19 connectivity requirements,
the design of the subdivision has a Connectivity Score of 1.16, which is below the
preferred ratio of 1.30. The interior circulation is provided by 49-foot wide private
streets with roll curb and gutter and sidewalks on both sides of the street. There is a
37-foot wide stub street provided with a roll, gutter with sidewalk on one side of the
street.
The submitted cross-section depicts the maximum natural grade less than two percent
across the site. Per the Sky Canyon Development Standards, all development is
allowed a maximum of six-foot tall perimeter wall and an eight-foot tall retaining wall
within the interior of the subdivision, a combined height of 14 feet; along the west and
south property lines of the subdivision. The exterior perimeter wall of the subdivision is

allowed a maximum of six-foot tall perimeter wall and a six-foot tall retaining wall, a
combined height of 12 feet; along the north and east property lines.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 47 primary and secondary
school students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the
three schools serving the area (Bozarth Elementary School, Escobedo Middle School
and Arbor View High School), the District notes that Bozarth Elementary School and
Arbor View High School are over capacity for the 2016-17 school year, and no new
schools are planned in this area at this time.
FINDINGS (TMP-70716)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to the approved Skye Canyon Development
Agreement, the approved Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Architectural
Guidelines, and the minimum requirements set forth by Title 19 for Tentative Maps.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of this application with conditions.

Proposed Use
This project will add approximately 1,161 trips per day on Eagle Canyon Ave., Skye Village Rd. and Grand Teton Dr.
Currently, Skye Village is at about 2 percent of capacity and Grand Teton is at about 21 percent of capacity. With this
project, Skye Village is expected to be at about 9 percent of capacity and Grand Teton to be at about 28 percent of
capacity. Volumes are not available for Eagle Canyon in this vicinity, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 122 additional cars, or about two every minute.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a LI/R (Light Industry / Research) land use designation and
a M (Industrial) zoning designation on a 0.16-acre parcel that was former right of way
acquired from the Union Pacific Railroad. The site is located on the north side of
Washington Avenue, east of A Street.
ISSUES
x The applicant is requesting a LI/R (Light Industry / Research) land use designation
and a M (Industrial) zoning designation.
x The subject site was Union Pacific Railroad right of way, but is now privately owned.
x Any future development of the site (such as expansion of the towing/impound yard)
requires an appropriate general plan and zoning designation.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is currently designated as ROW (Right of Way) for both its land use and
its zoning. The applicant is proposing to amend the general plan to have a LI/R (Light
Industry / Research) land use designation and to rezone the site to M (Industrial).
The (L/I) Light Industry/ Research category allows areas appropriate for clean, low-
intensity (non-polluting and non-nuisance) industrial uses, including light manufacturing,
assembling and processing, warehousing and distributions, and research, development
and testing laboratories. Typical supporting and ancillary general uses are also allowed.
This category may also allow mixed-use development with a residential component as a
transition to less-intense uses where appropriate.
The applicant discussed with staff the expansion of the adjacent Towing /Impound Yard
use onto this site (as well as the parcels immediately to the west of this parcel), but has
not submitted a complete application for the Site Development Plan Review that would
be required to do so.
PB
GPA-70710 and ZON-70712 [PRJ-70640]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Staff recommends approval of these requests as the LI/R (Light Industry / Research)
land use designation and a M (Industrial) zoning designation match the surrounding
properties on the west and north and are compatible with the commercially guided and
zoned properties south of Washington Avenue and east of the Union Pacific Railway.
FINDINGS (GPA-70710)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The proposed LI/R (Light Industry / Research) general plan designation will match
the surrounding parcels on two sides, and is compatible with the commercially
designated parcels to the east and south of the site across Washington Avenue
and the Union Pacific Railway.
The proposed M (Industrial) zoning designation will match the surrounding parcels
on two sides, and is compatible with the commercially zoned parcels to the east
and south of the site across Washington Avenue and the Union Pacific Railway.
The uses permitted in the proposed LI/R (Light Industry / Research) general plan
designation will have appropriate access to transportation and utilities as the site
is located adjacent to Washington Avenue with access via A Street.
The proposed LI/R (Light Industry / Research) general plan designation conforms
to the adopted plans and policies of the City of Las Vegas.

Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (ZON-70712)
The proposed M (Industrial) zoning district will conform with the proposed LI/R
(Light Industry / Research) general plan designation.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The uses permitted in the proposed M (Industrial) zoning designation will be the
same as the property to the north and west, and will be compatible with the
commercial zoning designations across Washington Avenue and the Union
Pacific Railway.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The proposed M (Industrial) zoning district will allow industrial uses that support
the employment and tax base for the City of Las Vegas.
The subject site is adjacent to Washington Avenue, and will have access to
Washington Avenue via A Street through an adjacent parcel. Washington Avenue
is a collector street that also provides access to Interstate 15. These facilties are
more than adequate for a property of this size.

ISSUES
x Pursuant to Title 19.08.120(F)(17), the monument sign minimum setback is five feet
from all property lines. The proposed monument sign is zero feet, nine inches from
the front property line. Staff supports this request.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is an existing Mixed-Use Development that is located within the C-
2 (General Commercial) zoning district. The existing development is within the Office
Core District of the Downtown Centennial Plan; as well as, the Airport Overlay District
with a height limitation of 200 feet.
The applicant is proposing a monument sign that is nine inches from the front property
line facing Bonneville Avenue. Although the subject site is located within the Downtown
Centennial Plan, a review for the sign is not required by the Downtown Design Review
Committee; instead, it is subject to Title 19.08 sign standards. Pursuant to Title 19.08,
the required setback for a monument sign is five feet from all property lines. The
monument sign will be located in the existing landscaping area at the front entrance of
the main lobby on Bonneville Avenue.
The building was constructed with a zero lot line setback along the majority of the
Bonneville Avenue frontage, in accordance with the Downtown Centennial Plans Office
Core District. The existing landscaping is within the threshold of the building footprint
area behind the front property line. The proposed monument sign will be located within
the building footprint area and is appropriate in that location; therefore, staff
recommends approval with conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to change the use of the property at 813 East Ogden Avenue from
office space to multi-family residential for the purposes of providing apartment units for
rent.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District. It was
converted from a hotel use to office space in 2013. The applicant requests a Special
Use Permit in order to operate a Multi-Family Residential use. Per Title 19, The Multi-
Family Residential use is defined as A structure used or designed as a residence for
three or more families or households living independently of each other. The proposed
use meets the definition, as the applicant proposes to operate a 30-unit studio
apartment complex. In the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district, this use is
permitted only in conjunction with an approved mixed-use development. Such
developments must provide ground level retail, office or other commercial space in
addition to multi-family residential units on upper levels. As no commercial component
is proposed for the existing building, approval of a Special Use Permit to allow the use
at this location is required, pursuant to Title 19.12.040(B).
Per the submitted justification letter, the applicant states that the existing office space
use is experiencing high vacancy rates. The applicant argues that the facility would be
more suitable for residential units considering the demand for apartment units in the
subject area. The proposed change in use aligns with the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan,
which recognizes the need for more housing options within the Downtown area. In
particular, the Master Plan states, It is crucial that redevelopment is fostered on vacant
and underutilized sites, primarily focused on residential market-rate development. The
subject site is also located within the Downtown Redevelopment Area. The proposed
use meets the goals for this area, which encourage the prevention of the spread of
blight and deterioration of underutilized facilities.

There are no proposed changes to the exterior faade of the building. Projects located
within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan area are not subject to the automatic
application of parking requirements. While there is no parking available at the subject
site, the proposed use is less intense than the existing office use, which requires 26
parking spaces.
This project was routed to various City Departments for comment. The Las Vegas
Valley Water District submitted the following, This parcel is currently served by LVVWD
for domestic only, but does not have the required backflow prevention per NAC
445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for
domestic meter sizing, fire flow availability and backflow retrofit. SNWA Regional
Connection Fees will be assessed on a per unit basis and are due prior to building
permit issuance. Within the Downtown Centennial Plan, utility vaults shall be located
underground or within the footprint of the building. Utility appurtenances are not
permitted along street frontages.
As there are similar uses within the subject area and the proposed use adheres to the
Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan, staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit
request.
FINDINGS (SUP-70668)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site previously operated with a similar type of use and is physically
suitable for operation of a Multi-Family residential use.

The subject site can be accessed from Ogden Avenue, an approximately 80-foot
public right-of-way.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet the conditional use regulation for the Multi-
Family Residential use that states that it is only permitted in conjunction with an
approved mixed-use development.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for a proposed 1,560 square-foot
Accessory Structure (Class I) [Casita] in the rear yard of the property at 6265 West
Lone Mountain Road.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The applicant proposes to add an Accessory Structure (Class I) [Casita] within the rear
yard of the property. There are two existing Accessory Structures (Class II) in the rear
yard. The subject property is located in an R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district and
is within the Airport Overlay District with a height limit of 175 feet. The maximum height
of the proposed casita complies with that height requirement. The subject property is
subject to Title 19.06.060 development standards.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The size of the lot or parcel must exceed 6500 square feet.
The lot is approximately 45,302 square feet in size. Therefore, the use is
permitted.
RG
SUP-70704 [PRJ-68957]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The principal dwelling will continue to be occupied by the owner and the
proposed Casita will not serve as a rental unit.
The exterior faade will match the principal dwelling. The submitted floor plan includes:
two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, two bathrooms and a bonus room.
The subject property was issued a building permit (#327460) for an Accessory Structure
(Class II) [Casita] without a kitchen. The building is currently under construction. The
Special Use Permit application would allow a kitchen facility to be incorporated in the
casita.
The subject property has a lot size of 45,302 square feet and can physically
accommodate the proposed Accessory Structure (Class I) [Casita]. The proposed
accessory structure meets all minimum Special Use Permit requirements and will be
compatible with the principal dwelling and surrounding land uses. Staff therefore
recommends approval, subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-70704)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
RG
SUP-70704 [PRJ-68957]
Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Primary access to the site is provided from Lone Mountain Road, a 100-foot wide
public right-of-way, which can provide adequate access to the Accessory
Structure (Class I) [Casita] use.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
This use will be subject to building inspections via the permitting process;
therefore, it will not compromise the public health, welfare or safety.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Accessory Structure (Class I) [Casita] use meets all of the
applicable conditions of Title 19.12.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to add a hotel tower to the Downtown Grand Resort
Hotel/Casino above the parking lot on the northwest corner of Ogden Avenue and 4 th
Street. The tower will be eight stories in height containing 495 rooms in 250,000 square
feet.
ISSUES
x The proposal requires a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-70736), and conforms to the
requirements of both Title 19 and the Downtown Centennial Plan.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is a portion of a 2.18-acre parcel located on the northwest corner of
Ogden Avenue and 4th Street. It is currently developed with a surface parking lot and
the valet services for the Downtown Grand. The site has a General Plan designation of
C (Commercial), is zoned C-2 (General Commercial), and is located in the Airport
Overlay, Downtown Centennial Plan, Downtown Casino Overlay, and Live/Work
Overlay districts.
The proposed Hotel tower is a permitted use within the C-2 (General Commercial)
zoning district and the Downtown Gateway District of the Downtown Centennial Plan.
The proposed addition will not displace the valet functions of the current site as it will be
built above the current valet and parking facility. The addition will connect to the
existing Downtown Grand on the second floor and provide 7 floors of rooms. The
building is built to the property line, and the building elevations will be mainly stucco
plaster with accents of glass and metal panels. The proposed design is consistent with
the requirements of the Downtown Gateway District of the Downtown Centennial Plan.
The applicant submitted a parking calculation for their entire facility, which identified that
the 495 parking spaces that would be required for this addition are provided off-site in
their other parking facilities. In all, the facility will have 1,125 rooms, which would
require 1,125 parking spaces and they provide 1,183 parking spaces in a variety of
parking garages/facilities.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
A condition of approval has been included requiring that all utility or mechanical
equipment shall comply with the provisions of the Downtown Centennial Plan, unless
approved by a separate Waiver. The applicant is working with the Las Vegas Valley
Water District to identify the appropriate location for the utility equipment required to
provide water to the building.
Staff finds that the proposed addition to the Downtown Grand Resort Hotel/Casino is in
conformance with the Downtown Centennial Plan and Title 19 and is compatible with
the development in the surrounding neighborhood which is part of the Downtown
Casino Overlay District.
FINDINGS (SDR-70736)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed hotel addition to the Downtown Grand Resort Hotel/Casino property
is compatible with development within the Downtown Casino Overlay District.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed hotel addition to the Downtown Grand Resort Hotel/Casino property
is consistent with the requirements of Title 19, the Downtown Centennial Plan,
The Airport Overlay District, and the Downtown Casino Overlay District.
This project will add approximately 2,439 trips per day on Stewart Avenue, 4th
Street and Ogden Avenue. Currently Stewart Avenue is at 41 percent of capacity,
4th Street is at 50 percent of capacity and Ogden Avenue is at 75 percent of
capacity; and would rise to 49 percent, 59 percent and 96 percent respectively.
Therefore, the adjacent roadway system is capable of handling the traffic
generated by this project.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Summerlin Master Planned Area. Per Title 19, a
public street may be vacated upon the petition of at least one owner of property abutting
the area proposed to be vacated, or upon the initiation of the City. Howard Hughes
Company, LLC, an adjacent property owner of the subject site proposes to vacate
approximately 2,142 square feet of Crossbrige Drive. Per the submitted justification
letter, the area to be vacated is no longer needed due to a median island
reconfiguration. The vacated portion will be dedicated to the City of Las Vegas. Staff
recommends approval of the request.
FINDINGS (VAC-70614)
The Department of Public Works has presented the following information concerning
this request to vacate certain public street right-of-way:
B. From a traffic handling viewpoint will this vacation request result in a reduced
traffic handling capability? No as the roadway configuration does not change.
C. Does it appear that the vacation request involves only excess right-of-way?
No, it is for an unused median island.
D. Does this vacation request coincide with development plans of the adjacent
parcels? Yes, Summerlin Village 24 Unit 1.
E. Does this vacation request eliminate public street access to any abutting
parcel? No.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment from DR (Desert Rural Density
Residential) to SC (Service Commercial) and a Rezoning from R-E (Residence Estates)
to C-1 (Limited Commercial). The subject site is located at 4801 Ricky Road. At this
time, there are no proposed development projects associated with the requested
changes.
ISSUES
x The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning does not adhere to the intent
of the RP-O (Rural Preservation Overlay) District.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is undeveloped and approximately 0.59 acres. It is a corner lot,
surrounded by residential uses. The parcels adjacent to the north, south and west are
all zoned R-E (Residence Estates) and have single family detached dwellings. The
property to the east is separated by Decatur Boulevard, zoned PUD (Planned Unit
Development) and under the City of North Las Vegas jurisdiction. It is composed of
multi-family dwellings and single family dwellings. Approval of the requested
entitlements would allow the applicant to operate uses such as a restaurant, trade
school or wedding chapel, which are all permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district. In addition, there are other more intense uses that would require a
Conditional Use Verification or Special Use Permit in the C-1 zoning district.
At this time, no development has been proposed for the subject site. Possible restaurant
uses and tire shop uses were mentioned at the pre-application meeting. The owner
also discussed these uses at the neighborhood meeting held on 03/20/17. The majority
of the public present at the meeting were opposed to supporting the proposed General
Plan Amendment and Rezoning without knowing the exact use of the site.
The site is surrounded by residential uses and is located within a large-lot residential
development. The proposed land use designation and zoning would allow uses that are
too intense for the surrounding adjacent uses. Staff recommends denial of the request.

Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (GPA-69192)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The subject site is located on a primary arterial street and within a predominantly
residential area. There is access to adequate transportation, recreation, and utility
facilities to accommodate the proposed General Plan Amendment.
The subject site is located within the Rural Preservation Overlay District. The
intent of this district is to ensure that the rural character of each rural
preservation neighborhood is preserved. The proposed General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning would not be in line with the mission of this district.
FINDINGS (ZON-69193)
CS
GPA-69192 And ZON-69193 [PRJ-69087]
Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
If both requests are approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district would conform to the SC (Service Commercial) General Plan Designation.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The subject site is surrounded by all residential uses. Approval of the requested
rezoning would allow for more intense commercial uses which would not be
compatible with the characteristics of the existing neighborhood.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The subject area is all residential. There are other suitable locations for the type
of development that would be allowed in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district.
The subject site can be accessed from Decatur Boulevard, a 100-foot wide
primary arterial and Ricky Road, a 60-foot wide minor street. Decatur Boulevard
is adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROJECT UPDATE
Since the previous hearing, the applicant has revised the site and landscaping plan to
add additional trees in front of the building and the south and west elevations to make
faade changes that would give the building more of the appearance of an office.
Staffs recommendation remains denial.
ISSUES
x The site is zoned C-V (Civic), which allows certain development standards to be
approved through a Site Development Plan Review if compatible with adjacent
properties. No waivers or exceptions are therefore required.
x A Variance is required to permit six parking spaces where 11 spaces are required.
Staff recommends denial.
x A Variance is required to permit the backing of any motor vehicle onto a public street
from the parking area along Adams Avenue as proposed. Staff recommends denial.
x Half-street improvements on Adams Avenue and 4th Street are required except as
modified by VAR-69804.
ANALYSIS
Development of the site is subject to Title 19.10 standards for developments within the
C-V (Civic) zoning district. The C-V District may provide for any public or quasi-public
use operated or controlled by any recognized religious, fraternal, veteran, civic or
service organization and is consistent with the Public Facilities category of the General
Plan. The proposed development on this site would be operated by the same entity that
operates the residential rehabilitation facility (termed an alcohol rehabilitation center
when first approved in 1967) across the street at 1001 North 4th Street. When both
sites were rezoned to C-V in 2002, the use was termed a Special Care Facility.
Neither term is used by the current version of Title 19. The proposed building would be
used as a gathering place for group meetings and special activities, characteristics that
are similar to an office use.
SS
VAR-67949 and SDR-67950 [PRJ-67708]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Through adoption of the Downtown North Land Use Plan, the General Plan designation
of the site was amended from PF (Public Facilities) to M (Medium Density Residential).
As the zoning of the property remains C-V and the use is closely affiliated with the
existing residential rehabilitation facility at 1001 North 4th Street, the proposed
development is compatible with surrounding land uses and therefore appropriate at this
location. The City, at its discretion, may opt to amend the General Plan designation to
PF at a future date in order to keep the zoning and General Plan designations
consistent.
Per Title 19.10, the minimum development standards for property in the C-V District
shall be established by the City Council in connection with the approval of a rezoning
application or in connection with the approval of a site development plan. Additional
standards relating to the height, perimeter and parking lot design and landscaping are
not applicable to this site, as it is not located adjacent to properties zoned for single-
family use. Due to the narrow width of the lot, the building is configured such that
parking must be reduced (by 45 percent from the minimum Title 19 requirement) and
located along the frontages, with three parking spaces configured to allow vehicles to
back onto Adams Avenue. Offsite improvements, including standard sidewalks, curbs
and gutters, must also be modified to allow for this configuration. The Department of
Public Works has no objection to vehicles backing out into the public right-of-way in this
situation, with the understanding that the majority of persons using the proposed
building on this site will be walking from the residential rehabilitation facility across the
street at 1001 North 4th Street. In addition, there are similar conditions in the area
where sidewalks, curbs and gutters are lacking; therefore, the Department of Public
Works also supports the proposed modification to offsite improvements, provided the
variance to allow vehicles to back out into the right-of-way (VAR-69804) is approved.
However, as the design of the building creates the necessity for reducing the number of
parking spaces and locating three of these spaces such that vehicles must back out into
the right-of-way, staff cannot support the request for both variances.
Half-street improvements are required on 4th Street and Adams Avenue adjacent to the
site. There are currently no sidewalks along the east side of 4th Street or the north side
of Adams Avenue. As part of this plan, a sidewalk is proposed at the corner of Adams
Avenue and 4th Street, with tie-ins to future sidewalks north and east of the property. In
lieu of a sidewalk along 4th Street, which is not practical given the onsite parallel
parking configuration, a pedestrian walkway is provided onsite that connects to an
accessible ramp at the corner. In a similar way, a walkway is provided behind the three
parking spaces on Adams Avenue. Pedestrian access easement(s) must be granted for
public use of these walkways.

The proposed building would consist of a painted corrugated metal exterior with a
sloped corrugated metal roof. The base of the west and south elevations would include
simulated colored stone veneer and glass doorways. A revision to the elevations dated
06/20/17 added additional stone veneer trimming around the windows on the west
faade and along the south faade to improve the aesthetic appeal where most visible
from public streets. The primary entry from 4th Street would be sheltered by a sloped
canopy. These materials are compatible with other development in this area of the city.
Landscaping will be provided on the site, mostly on the interior adjacent to the building.
One 24-inch box Chilean Mesquite tree is provided at the northwest corner of the site
for screening of mechanical equipment, and shrubs are located around the tree, in front
of the building and at the corner. The materials provided are appropriate for the site.
The use is appropriate for this site. However, the site cannot accommodate a building
of the size proposed, along with the required number of onsite parking spaces. A
smaller building constructed to the frontages would allow for the provision of onsite
spaces behind the building without forcing vehicles to back out onto a public right-of-
way. Staff therefore recommends denial of the two variances and the Site Development
Plan Review, subject to conditions. If denied, permits for development of the site as
proposed cannot be issued.
FINDINGS (VAR-67949)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in

FINDINGS (SDR-67950)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The use is appropriate for this site. However, the site cannot accommodate a
building of the size proposed, along with the required number of onsite parking
spaces.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The configuration of the building and parking lot requires variances to permit fewer
parking spaces than required and to allow vehicles to back out into public right-of-
way. The development otherwise is consistent with development in the C-V
zoning district.
Primary access to the site is from Adams Avenue, a Minor Street. Secondary
access is provided from 4th Street by way of three parallel parking spaces. No
onsite circulation is proposed. Refuse will be picked up from a trash enclosure
located along the 4th Street frontage.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials consist of corrugated metal roofing and siding, stone veneer
base and aluminum and glass storefront features. These materials are
compatible with surrounding development. Landscaping consists of one Chilean
Mesquite tree and a variety of five gallon drought-tolerant shrubs labeled as
bulletproof (low maintenance) by the Southern Nevada Regional Planning
Coalition Regional Plant List.

Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting was held to discuss submittal requirements
for a Site Development Plan Review application for a proposed
building on a vacant site. Due to size of the lot, the applicant claimed
11/10/16 that the building could not be placed at the front setback and parking
could not be located at the side or rear of the building. Variances
would therefore be required for this standard and to allow vehicles to
back into a public street.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting is not required, nor was one held.
Field Check
The site is currently vacant, unimproved and cleared of weeds and
debris. Existing screening and retaining walls are located along the
east and north perimeter of the property. Above-ground power lines
03/30/17
run along the south and west perimeters of the site. Public Works
commented that half-street improvements will be required on Adams
Avenue.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is developed with an existing private school facility and is zoned R-E
(Residence Estates). The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district restricts fences
within the front yard of properties to be a maximum of five feet in height with the top
three feet being at least 50% open. The applicant is proposing to construct an eight-
foot-high wrought iron fence that will comply with the opacity requirements but exceeds
the overall height permitted.
The applicants justification letters states that the fence is being constructed to provide a
greater level of security for the private school and is being funded by the federal
government.
Staff has a concern that the fence is being proposed at the back of the sidewalk and will
therefore partially obscure the perimeter landscaping that was required when the private
school was approved and constructed.
The site plan submitted with the application depicts improvements to the site (widening
of the southern driveway) that are not a part of this variance request. As such, those
improvements would not be approved as part of this application and will require
submittal of the plans for review. This request is for the fence alone.
Staff is recommending denial of this request due to the fact that there is no unique or
extraordinary circumstance and the fence will partially obscure the perimeter
landscaping provided to buffer the private school from the surrounding residential
neighborhood.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
x The applicant submitted a revised justification letter, site plan and landscape plan
05/01/17 which changed the number of beds affiliated with the request from 60 to 72
and necessitated renotification. The plans submitted did not change beyond clearly
identifying the number of beds in the facility for the required parking calculation.
x Waivers have been requested to allow a zero-foot wide landscape buffer with no
perimeter landscaping on the north property line; a six-foot wide landscape buffer on
the east property line; a two-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the west
property line; and a 10-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the south property
line. Staff does not support the waiver requests.
ANALYSIS
The subject site (8504 Smoke Ranch Road) is located on the north side of Smoke
Ranch Road approximately 315 feet east of Buffalo Drive and is a 2.22 acre vacant lot.
The site was rezoned from U (Undeveloped) to C-1 (Limited Commercial) by the City
council on 10/21/15, and an 80-bed Convalescent Care Facility/Nursing Home was also
approved on the same date. No waivers were required at the time, and staff
recommended approval of that project. That facility was never constructed.
PB
SDR-68686 [PRJ-68685]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
After submittal of their application, the applicant submitted revised site plan and
landscape plan drawings dated 03/08/17 to provide the appropriate side setbacks, and
now is in conformance with all setback requirements for the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district. The submittal was further revised to correct the number of beds to 72
with a revised justification letter, site plan and landscape plan dated 05/01/17
The proposed facility will have 33 parking spaces, where 21 are required by Title 19.12.
Access to the site will be from two driveways off Smoke Ranch Road, and the majority
of parking is provided in front of the facility. A 25-foot wide access drive allows access
to the rear of the facility along the east and north property lines. The Department of Fire
and Rescue requires a turnaround or secondary egress from the site, which is not
currently provided. The applicant is proposing to have access to the cul-de-sac bulb
north of the site. A condition of approval has been added to require a perpetual access
easement/agreement to be recorded prior to the issuance of building permits.
The proposed facility would be composed of stucco walls, a tiled gabled roof structure,
and have vinyl windows. The existing medical offices on the north and east, and the
retail center on the west are all flat roofed structures with parapets. The only gabled
roof structures in the immediate vicinity are the single family homes on the south side of
Smoke Ranch Road which are on 41-foot wide lots. The proposed facility includes a
gabled roof structure that spans nearly the full length of the 295-foot wide facility. While
the use proposed is quasi-residential, the adjacent non-residential structures in the Las
Vegas Technology Center are the overwhelming aesthetic and therefore the proposed
gabled roof structure is incompatible with the surrounding development.
The landscape plan submitted by the applicant reflects the waivers that they are
requesting for the proposal. On the north property line, where an eight-foot wide
landscape buffer is required, the applicant is proposing to have no landscape buffer or
landscape materials. On the east property line, where an eight-foot wide landscape
buffer is required, the applicant is proposing to have a six-foot wide landscape buffer.
On the south property line, where a 15-foot wide landscape buffer is required, the
applicant is proposing that portions of that buffer be 10 feet in width. Finally, on the
west property line, where an eight-foot wide landscape buffer is required, the applicant
is proposing that portions of that buffer be 2 feet in width. Staff finds that these requests
are indicative of a proposal that overbuilds the subject site and therefore does not
support the waivers.

Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The rest of the landscape plan is in accordance with the requirements of Title 19.08 for
the number and species of landscape materials proposed, including the provision of
parking lot landscaping.
Staff finds that the use is appropriate for the site, but this proposal will overbuild the site,
hence the necessity to request landscape waivers for every property line. Therefore,
staff recommends denial. Recommended conditions have been included should the
proposal be approved.
FINDINGS (SDR-68686)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The existing developments fronting on Smoke Ranch Road on either side of the
subject site provide landscape buffer widths in accordance with the UDC and flat
rooves with parapets instead of a gabled roof forms. Therefore, the proposal is
incompatible with adjacent development.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposal includes several landscape waivers which means the development
is not consistent with the UDC and the Wall and Buffer Standards.
The proposal includes two driveways off of Smoke Ranch, a Primary Arterial,
which is sufficient to handle the traffic associated with this use.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Stucco, tile roofing and vinyl windows are typical building materials in the city, and
the landscape materials are appropriate for the region.
PB
SDR-68686 [PRJ-68685]
Staff Report Page Four
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
While not unsightly, the choice to use a gabled roof form adjacent to several
existing medical offices and a retail center that all have flat rooves with parapets is
incompatible with development in the area. Additionally, the lack of a distinct base
material to the architectural design and the inclusion of chain link fencing would
create an aesthetically displeasing development.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
If approved, the project will be subject to building permit review and business
licensing requirements and ongoing inspection to assure it continues to operate
respective of public health, safety and welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to revise the development standards for the Las Vegas
Renaissance Master Development Plan and Development Standards which regulates
development of the vacant property on the southeast corner of Alta Drive and Rampart
Boulevard. The applicant is also proposing to construct a 359-unit multi-family
residential complex on the east portion of that property.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is zoned PD (Planned Development) and guided for SC (Service
Commercial) development. Development of the site is governed by the Las Vegas
Renaissance Master Development Plan and Development Standards.
The revised development standards propose that the uses be governed mostly by the
uses of the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district, with exceptions to specifically
PB
MOD-70292 and SDR-70293 [PRJ-70123]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
allow multi-family residential; and movie, live theater and event center by right, and
taverns by special use permit. The proposed permitted uses are appropriate for a
mixed-use development of this nature. The revised standards would allow density of up
to 300,000 square feet of retail, commercial, office, medical, employment and/or
entertainment and residential at a density equal to the H (High Density Residential) land
use designation. The H (High Density Residential) designation does not include a
specific limitation to the density of development. The proposed apartment complex
(SDR-70293) would therefore be a permitted use and conform to the density allowed if
the revised development standards are adopted.
Building setbacks (and building heights) are mainly determined by residential adjacency
standards which are adopted by way of reference, but the revised development
standards also specifically call out a 15-foot setback to the existing parking structure on
the adjacent parcel and a 5-foot setback to external property lines with a recognition
that buildings closer than 15 feet to Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard must be
designed to be sensitive to the pedestrian environment. The proposed setbacks are
appropriate for a mixed-use development of this nature. The proposed apartment
complex (SDR-70293) adheres to the setback requirements (and therefore to the
residential adjacency requirements as well).
The revised development standards provide access to the entire site via the existing
signalized intersection on Alta Drive, the existing driveway from Rampart Boulevard on
the property adjacent to the south, a future right in/right out on Rampart Boulevard
(between the previously mentioned existing drive and the intersection with Alta Drive),
and through the existing development to the south (Boca Park, All Phases). An updated
traffic study may be required by the Department of Public Works as needed. The
proposed apartment complex (SDR-70293) will have its main access off the Alta Drive
signalized intersection but will have secondary access points to the west and south to
meet the requirements of the Department of Fire and Rescue.
The revised development standards include the parking requirements of Title 19.12 and
19.18 by reference, and include an allowance for a parking structure on the site in the
future. The proposed apartment complex (SDR-70293) provides a slight excess in
parking with 595 parking spaces where 574 are required.
The revised development standards dictate that the majority of landscaping standards
be established at the time of Site Development Plan Review for each portion of the site
as they develop. Specific requirements are included for a buffer zone of 125 feet along
the Tuscany Hills II subdivision, one of the single family residential development to the
east. In addition, a 15-foot-wide landscape setback is required adjacent to the West
Mesa Estates I subdivision. The specific landscaping of the buffer zone and landscape

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The revised development standards dictate that the majority of the architectural design
standards be established at the time of Site Development Plan Review for each portion
of the site as they develop. A specific allowance is made for a potential tower element
(not to exceed 150 feet in height) as a beacon for the development. The revised
development standards also include some purely conceptual drawings. The proposed
apartment complex is to be constructed mainly of stucco, with wrought iron railings,
metal louvres, and roof forms of both flat roofs with parapets and standing seam roofing.
The proposed facades include color and roof form changes that break up the
appearance, as does the stepping back of the building height to comply with residential
adjacency requirements.
The revised development standards dictate that a Master Sign Plan be approved prior
to the issuance of any sign permits, but specifies that a pylon sign may be located on
both Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard with the same height and size of the approved,
existing pylon sign on the north side of Alta Drive at Tivoli Village.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 90 primary and secondary
students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the three
schools serving the area (Jacobson Elementary School, Walter Johnson Middle School
and Palo Verde High School), the District notes that Jacobson Elementary and Palo
Verde High are over capacity for the 2016-2017 school year, and no new schools are
planned in this area at this time.
The revised Las Vegas Renaissance Master Development Plan and Development
Standards defer to Title 19 on a number of development standards and allow the
majority of other standards to be established at the time of Site Development Plan
Review which will be reviewed by the City Council. Furthermore, the proposed
apartment complex (SDR-70293) conforms to the proposed development standards and

provides a sensitive and appropriate transition from the single family residential to the
east to the commercial shopping centers in the area. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the Major Modification (MOD-70292) and the Site Development Plan
Review (SDR-70293), with conditions.
FINDINGS (MOD-70292)
The General Plan guides this site for SC (Service Commercial) which allows
mixed-use development such as what is being proposed with this project.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The uses allowed by the revised development standards will be compatible with
the surrounding land uses and zoning districts because of the requirement to
adhere to the residential adjacency standards and buffering of the residential
properties to the east.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

FINDINGS (SDR-70293)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed access points on both Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard, and the
internal circulation system which will connect to the existing shopping center to the
south will not negatively impact the adjacent roadways. The proposed project
would raise Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard to be at about 47 and 86 percent of
capacity respectively.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The materials proposed for the apartment complex buildings and landscaping are
appropriate based on the revised development standards and are consistent with
development in the area.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to allow the conversion of a 2,784 square-foot single family detached
residence to a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage Yard at 4515 Balsam Street.
ISSUES
x A Variance is requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter where existing half
street improvements including sidewalk, curb, and gutter exist directly to the south
and east of the subject site. Staff does not support this request.
x A second Variance is requested to allow a 14-foot side yard setback where 50 feet is
required when adjacent to residentially zoned property and to allow outdoor storage
within the required setback areas. Staff does not support this request.
x A Waiver is requested for no landscape buffer along all four edges of the subject
property to accommodate outdoor storage. Staff does not support this request.
x A second Waiver is requested to allow an eight-foot tall chain link fence with
screening material along a portion of the north property line where a solid eight-foot
tall screen wall is required. Staff does not support this request.
x The existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS) has been paved and used for
parking in violation of the ISDS permit.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is a single family detached dwelling constructed in 1972. In 2008, the
subject site was rezoned from R-E (Residence Estates) to M (Industrial) with 4505
Balsam Street in order to construct a 51,250 square-foot warehouse center with 18,100
square feet of office. In 2013 the subject site was granted land use entitlements to
convert the single family detached dwelling into a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, but the land use entitlements expired in 2015 prior to the issuance of a building
permit as required by Title 19.16.100(J)(2) which states, A Site Development Plan is
exercised upon the issuance of a building permit for the principal structure on the site
or, in the case of a residential subdivision, upon the recordation of a final subdivision
map.
The existing structure is currently being used as a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, as the subject site was licensed in 2007 for a Contractor (C25-03647) use and
has remained active since the date of issuance.

In order to legally convert the detached single family residence into a commercial use, a
Variance to allow a 14-foot side setback on the north side of the subject site is required,
as a minimum 50-foot setback is required when adjacent to residentially zoned property.
The adjacent property to the north is currently zoned R-E (Residence Estates) within
Clark County. In addition, the applicant is currently storing items within the required
setback areas. A Variance is also requested to allow the continuance of outdoor storage
within the required setback areas in violation of Title 19.08.040(E)(4)(e)(i) which states,
Outdoor Storage shall not be permitted within required setback areas, landscape buffer
yards or other required landscape areas, or parking spaces required to meet minimum
parking standards.
A second Variance has been requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter (half-
street improvements) where such is required. Directly south and east of the subject site
half street improvements including sidewalk, curb and gutter have been installed as
required by Title 19.04. Title 19.04 set forth requirements for achieving a connected
transportation system as outlined in the Citys General Plan to provide a safe and
accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. When a site is
developed in the City of Las Vegas, it is customary to require the installation of all
incomplete or damaged improvements surrounding the site so they match what exists in
the surrounding area. Varying from these standards does not provide a safe and
accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. Currently, the
subject site has a paved front yard that offers no delineation between the subject site
and the public right-of-way. The lack of striped parking, a curb cut, and sidewalk creates
confusion for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
This subject parcel is currently not served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District
(LVVWD), but is currently served by a well that is permitted for residential use only.
According to LVVWD, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Division of Water
Resources and secure water rights for commercial use prior to issuing a building permit.
Unless the customer has non-revocable water rights, the State may also require them to
abandon the well and connect to the public water system since it is less than 100 feet
from the parcel.

This site is currently connected to an individual septic disposal system (ISDS), which was
constructed for a single family dwelling and has since been paved over and continuously
driven and parked upon by both passenger and commercial vehicles of varying weights.
The applicant has requested to not connect to the public sewer system and continue to
use the existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS). In conversations with the
Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division, once an ISDS has been
paved over and driven on, it has likely failed and should not be used any further. Also, the
planned development shows the area over the ISDS to continue to be covered with
pavement; this will also not allow the existing septic system to function properly. The
Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division has indicated to City staff
that a permit to continue to use the individual septic disposal system (ISDS) will not be
granted. The applicant will be required by the Public Works Department to connect to the
public sewer that is planned in the Balsam Street right-of-way.
The subject site is on the west side of an existing cul-de-sac that has seen recent
commercial development on the east side of the cul-de-sac. Staff does not support the
Variance request to not require half-street improvements when the remaining
commercial properties adjacent to this cul-de-sac have provided the necessary half-
street improvements including curb, sidewalk, and gutter. Additionally, three residential
homes exist north of the subject site on the west side of Balsam Street. Staff does not
support the requested Waivers to not provide landscape buffers, or appropriate
screening to the north, as the lack of these elements will legalize a commercial property
that is not compatible or harmonious with the existing residential uses in the immediate
area. Staff is recommending denial of all applications.

In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
Existing commercial developments to the south and the east of the subject site
have installed landscape buffers and half street improvements, including curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. The applicant is requesting a Variance to not provide the
required half-street improvements, and Waivers to allow no landscape buffers,
making it not compatible with the existing residential and commercial development
in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The lack of curb, gutter, and sidewalk negatively impacts neighborhood traffic as
there is no defined entrance and exit to the subject site. In addition, the lack of
sidewalk creates a conflict between pedestrians and vehicles as there is no
defined right-of-way.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site is a single family residential structure being used for commercial
purposes. The entire front, side, and a portion of the rear yards have been paved,
allowing for no landscape buffer and trees. While the architectural features of the
single family home is not obnoxious or unsightly, the site itself does not create an
orderly or aesthetically pleasing environment, since there are no landscape buffer
areas and only very minimal planters. With the entire front and side yard being
paved, and no curb, gutter, or sidewalk, there is no delineation between private
property and the public right-of-way, creating confusion for all modes of traffic,
including vehicular and pedestrian. This is not harmonious or compatible with the
existing commercial development in the area that has provided the required curb,
gutter, and sidewalk.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The conversion of the subject single family residence to a commercial use will
require building permits and regular inspections during the conversion process,
thus protecting the publics health, safety, and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to allow the conversion of a 2,092 square-foot single family detached
residence to a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage Yard at 4505 Balsam Street.
ISSUES
x A Variance is requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter where existing half
street improvements including sidewalk, curb, and gutter exist directly to the south
and east of the subject site. Staff does not support this request.
x A second Variance is requested to allow outdoor storage within the required setback
areas. Staff does not support this request.
x A Waiver is requested for no landscape buffers along the east, west, and south
property lines; and a portion of the north property line to accommodate outdoor
storage. Staff does not support this request.
x An Exception is requested to allow no landscape islands with trees at the end of
each row of parking spaces where such is required; and to allow no trees within the
existing portion of the landscape buffer along the north property line. Staff does not
support either request.
x The existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS) has been paved and used for
parking in violation of the ISDS permit.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is a single family detached dwelling constructed in 1966. In 2008, the
subject site was rezoned from R-E (Residence Estates) to M (Industrial) with 4515
Balsam Street in order to construct a 51,250 square-foot warehouse center with 18,100
square feet of office. In 2013 the subject site was granted land use entitlements to
convert the single family detached dwelling into a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, but the land use entitlements expired in 2015 prior to the issuance of a building
permit as required by Title 19.16.100(J)(2) which states, A Site Development Plan is
exercised upon the issuance of a building permit for the principal structure on the site
or, in the case of a residential subdivision, upon the recordation of a final subdivision
map.
The existing structure is currently being used as a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, as the subject site was licensed in 2008 for a Contractor (C25-01707) use and
has remained active since the date of issuance.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Currently, the applicant is storing items within the required setback areas in violation of
Title 19.08.040(E)(4)(e)(i) which states, Outdoor Storage shall not be permitted within
required setback areas, landscape buffer yards or other required landscape areas, or
parking spaces required to meet minimum parking standards. The applicant is
requesting a Variance to allow the outdoor storage to remain within the setback areas.
A second Variance has been requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter (half-
street improvements) where such is required. Directly south, and adjacent to the subject
site on the east, half street improvements including sidewalk, curb and gutter have been
installed as required by Title 19.04. Title 19.04 set forth requirements for achieving a
connected transportation system as outlined in the Citys General Plan to provide a safe
and accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. When a
site is developed in the City of Las Vegas, it is customary to require the installation of all
incomplete or damaged improvements surrounding the site so they match what exists in
the surrounding area. Varying from these standards does not provide a safe and
accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. Currently, the
subject site has a paved front yard that offers no delineation between the subject site
and the public right-of-way. The lack of a curb cut, and sidewalk creates confusion for
vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The applicant has also requested a Waiver to allow no landscape buffers along the
south, east, west, and a portion of the north property line in order to accommodate
outdoor storage in those areas. Landscape buffers are necessary to provide noise and
visual screening for neighboring properties. Due to the fact that property north of the
subject site is residential, landscape buffers are necessary for the subject site and staff
does not support this request.
This subject parcel is currently not served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District
(LVVWD), but is currently served by a well that is permitted for residential use only.
According to LVVWD, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Division of Water
Resources and secure water rights for commercial use prior to issuing a building permit.
Unless the customer has non-revocable water rights, the State may also require them to
abandon the well and connect to the public water system since it is less than 100 feet
from the parcel.
This site is currently connected to an individual septic disposal system (ISDS), which
was constructed for a single family dwelling and has since been paved over and
continuously driven and parked upon by both passenger and commercial vehicles of
varying weights. The applicant has requested to not connect to the public sewer system
and continue to use the existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS). In
conversations with the Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division,
once an ISDS has been paved over and driven on, it has likely failed and should not be
used any further. Also, the planned development shows the area over the ISDS to

continue to be covered with pavement; this will also not allow the existing septic system
to function properly. The Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division
has indicated to City staff that a permit to continue to use the individual septic disposal
system (ISDS) will not be granted. The applicant will be required by the Public Works
Department to connect to the public sewer that is planned in the Balsam Street right-of-
way.
The subject site is on the west side of an existing cul-de-sac that has seen recent
commercial development on the east side of the cul-de-sac. Staff does not support the
Variance request to not require half-street improvements when the remaining
commercial properties adjacent to this cul-de-sac have provided the necessary half-
street improvements including curb, sidewalk, and gutter. Additionally, three residential
homes exist north of the subject site on the west side of Balsam Street. Staff does not
support the requested Waiver to not provide landscape buffers, as the lack of these
elements will legalize a commercial property that is not compatible or harmonious with
the existing residential uses in the immediate area. Staff is recommending denial of all
applications.
FINDINGS (VAR-70276)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:
NE

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
residential property to commercial property without the required sidewalk, curb, and
gutter. Constructing the required sidewalk, curb, and gutter would allow conformance to
the Title 19 requirements for commercial development. In view of the absence of any
hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the
applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS
Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in

Staff Report Page Five
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Existing commercial developments to the south and the east of the subject site
have installed landscape buffers and half street improvements, including curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. The applicant is requesting a Variance to not provide the
required half-street improvements, and Waivers to allow no landscape buffers,
making it not compatible with the existing residential and commercial development
in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The lack of curb, gutter, and sidewalk negatively impacts neighborhood traffic as
there is no defined entrance and exit to the subject site. In addition, the lack of
sidewalk creates a conflict between pedestrians and vehicles as there is no
defined right-of-way.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The subject site is a single family residential structure being used for commercial
purposes. The entire front, side, and a portion of the rear yards have been paved,
allowing for no landscape buffer and trees. While the architectural features of the
single family home is not obnoxious or unsightly, the site itself does not create an

6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The conversion of the subject single family residence to a commercial use will
require building permits and regular inspections during the conversion process,
thus protecting the publics health, safety, and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to rezone 2.14 acres of property located on the north side of Bonanza
Road, approximately 1,550 feet east of Decatur Boulevard. As the current General Plan
designation for this property is appropriate only for a church or other public or quasi-
public nonresidential use, a General Plan Amendment to change the future land use
designation of the site to accommodate residential development is also requested. No
Tentative Map for residential development is requested at this time.
ISSUES
x A General Plan Amendment is proposed to change the future land use designation
on this site from PF (Public Facilities) to ML (Medium Low Density Residential).
x A Rezoning is proposed on this site from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to R-2
(Medium-Low Density Residential).
ANALYSIS
The subject property was previously owned by the adjacent church located at 4500
West Bonanza Road. The church subsequently remapped the church property,
provided a 47-foot wide access to the rear and sold off the rear two acres. A condition
of the Parcel Map that subdivided the property required a transition in the width of the
north half of Bonanza Road from 40 feet to 30 feet adjacent to the site with sufficient
access to the rear parcel. These conditions have been met.
There are existing single-family homes adjacent to this site in all directions. Lots to the
north, south and east are zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential), while homes within the
development to the west are both attached and detached and are zoned R-PD8
(Residential Planned Development 8 Units per Acre). However, the actual density of
this adjacent development is 5.53 dwelling units per acre, which is just above the upper
threshold for the L (Low Density Residential) General Plan Designation.
As an infill flag parcel, the site is appropriate for residential development of comparable
density to the surrounding developments. The R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential)
zoning district allows for medium to low density single family detached units and duplex
units, both of which occur on land to the west. No multi-family units are allowed. The
minimum lot size in this district is 6,500 square feet, which would allow for up to 14 lots

GPA-70682 and ZON-70683 [PRJ-70632]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
on the site, notwithstanding street access and common areas. Each side of the
property is already screened from adjacent residential development by perimeter block
walls.
The existing PF (Public Facilities) General Plan Designation was appropriate for the
existing Church/House of Worship and compatible with the adjacent residential
properties. As public or quasi-public uses are no longer contemplated on this site, an
amendment to an L (Low Density Residential) or ML (Medium Low Density Residential)
designation would be compatible with the adjacent designations and zoning districts.
For comparison, the L (Low Density Residential) land use designation allows up to 5.49
dwelling units per acre, while the ML (Medium Low Density Residential) designation
allows up to 8.49 dwelling units per acre. On the subject 2.14-acre site, the L
designation would allow for up to 11 single-family detached units, whereas the ML
designation would allow for up to 18 single-family detached or attached units. General
Plan categories of higher density, such as M (Medium Density Residential) would not be
compatible with existing designations or development in this area.
FINDINGS (GPA-70682)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The ML (Medium Low Density Residential) category allows for the following
zoning districts to be established: U (Undeveloped), R-E (Residence Estates), R-1
(Single Family Residential), R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential), R-SL
(Residential Small Lot), R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) and R-MH
(Mobile/Manufactured Home Residential). All of these districts allow for single
family detached and/or attached residential products that are compatible with the
adjacent single family residential land uses and the R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and R-PD8 (Residential Planned Development 8 Units per Acre)
zoning districts.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The general area is completely developed and has adequate access to nearby
parks, schools and recreation centers. The existing improvements can support
the additional development permitted by the proposed General Plan Amendment.
The 2020 Master Plan includes this property in its Neighborhood Revitalization
Area, which has as its goal the protection of older neighborhoods from the
intrusion of nonresidential uses and the integration of mixed uses where
possible on vacant or underutilized spaces. In this particular case, the property
is an infill parcel that is only appropriate for residential use or as an expansion
of the adjacent church; therefore, the proposed amendment to ML would allow
for a compatible transition of uses in this area.
FINDINGS (ZON-70683)
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) District allows single family
detached and duplex residential units, which are compatible with existing single
family detached and attached residential homes to the west, north and east.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject property consists of an infill parcel that is no longer owned by the
adjacent church and therefore appropriate for residential use. The parcel is
surrounded by well-established residential development of low to medium-low
density.
The property is accessed from Bonanza Road, an existing street ranging in size
from 60 to 70 feet wide. The previously recorded Parcel Map subdividing this site
required a driveway meeting the specifications of the City Engineer, which has
been provided.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to convert the exiting building at 6050 West Lone Mountain
Road from a Child Care Center into a Pet Boarding facility. A pet boarding facility is not
allowed in the current zoning district so the applicant is requesting to change the land
use designation to SC (Service Commercial) and rezone the property to C-1 (Limited
Commercial). The applicant is also requesting a parking variance and a special use
permit to allow the use on a site already developed with a building and parking lot.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at 6050 West Lone Mountain Road, a 0.95-acre parcel
surrounded on two sides by large lot, rural residential properties developed with single
family dwellings. Across Lone Mountain Road is a single family residential subdivision
developed at medium density. To the west, a mini-storage facility and convenience
store occupy the northeast corner of Jones Boulevard and Lone Mountain Road and are
guided and zoned commercially.

The SC (Service Commercial) category allows low to medium intensity retail, office, or
other commercial uses that serve primarily local area patrons, and that do not include
more intense general commercial characteristics. Examples include neighborhood
shopping centers, theaters, and other places of public assembly and public and semi-
public uses. This category also includes offices either singly or grouped as office
centers with professional and business services. The Service Commercial category may
also allow mixed-use development with a residential component where appropriate.
The C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district is intended to provide most retail shopping
and personal services, and may be appropriate for mixed use developments. This
district should be located on the periphery of residential neighborhoods and should be
confined to the intersections of primary and secondary thoroughfares along major retail
corridors. The C-1 District is consistent with the Service Commercial and the
Neighborhood Center categories of the General Plan.
The proposed commercial land use designation and zoning district would allow a wide
range of uses on the subject site that could have a detrimental effect on the surrounding
residential properties.
The subject site is also located adjacent to properties designated as part of the Rural
Preservation Overlay District. The Rural Preservation Overlay District is intended to
ensure that the rural character of each rural preservation neighborhood is preserved, to
maintain the rural character of the area developed as a low density residential
development, to provide adequate buffer areas, adequate screening and an orderly and
efficient transition of land uses, excluding raising or keeping animals commercially or
non-commercially, and to establish a basis for the modification of standards for the
development of infrastructure to maintain the rural character. Staff finds that the
proposed commercial land use designation and zoning district would allow a wide range
of uses on the subject site that would not be sensitive to the adjacent rural preservation
neighborhood.
A Pet Boarding use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district as a
conditional use. The conditions for such use are as follows:
1. All animals shall be confined within an enclosed area or on a leash at all times.
2. Structures shall be designed to provide reasonable sound barriers and odor
protection for adjoining properties.

3. Pens shall be screened from view from adjacent streets and adjoining properties.
4. Any exterior pens that are adjacent to a residential parcel shall be located a
minimum of 50 feet from the parcel.
5. All operations and activities shall be in accordance with LVMC Title 7.
The applicant will not comply with condition number 4 and per Title 19.12.040 (B) they
have applied for a Special Use Permit.
The Pet Boarding use is defined as A lot, building, premises or structure on which four
or more household pets are kept regularly and for extended periods of time for the
benefit of persons who do not reside on the premises. This use includes facilities that
provide shelter, care, feeding, exercising, grooming or incidental medical care for
household pets for remuneration or otherwise on a commercial basis, as well as a
kennel operation. The proposed use meets the definition based on the submitted
justification letter and floor plan.
There are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use included in Title
19.12.
The subject site is surrounded on two sides by rural residential properties developed
with single family homes, and has already been developed with a building and parking
lot for a child care center. There is an existing fenced area on the north side of the
building that was a playground and will be used as an outdoor exercise area for pets if
this use is approved. The applicant is choosing not to comply with the conditional use
permit requirement that the outdoor exercise area be a minimum of 50 feet from a
residential property. This setback was established to minimize the detrimental effect of
a non-residential use on residential properties; therefore, staff finds that the proposed
Special Use Permit (SUP-70725) would not be operated in a fashion that is compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood.
The subject site was previously developed with a building, parking lot and outdoor
playgrounds for use as a Child Care Center. The applicant is proposing to reuse all of
those improvements for the proposed Pet Boarding facility. As the site was previously
developed in accordance with city regulations, and the applicant is not proposing to alter
the site, a Site Development Plan Review was not required by staff. However, the
proposed Pet Boarding facility requires 39 parking spaces, while the existing parking lot
only provides 23 parking spaces. Staff finds that the proposed variance is self imposed
in that they are intensifying the commercial use of a site that was specifically designed
to minimize the commercial impact on surrounding residential properties and does not
support that request.

Staff recommends denial of the applications due to the lack of compatibility with the
surrounding neighborhood which includes a rural preservation neighborhood on
adjacent parcels to the north and east.
FINDINGS (GPA-70722)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
While the proposed SC (Service Commercial) land use designation is the same as
properties to the west, the other adjacent properties to the north and east are
guided for R (Rural) and the intensity of commercial uses within the proposed land
use designation are not compatible with the rural preservation neighborhood
developed within those R (Rural) designated properties.
Lone Mountain Road is a primary arterial roadway and provides adequate access
to the subject site for a commercial use.

FINDINGS (ZON-70723)
The proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would conform with the
proposed SC (Service Commercial) land use designation.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The range of uses allowed in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
includes a number of uses that would not be compatible with the rural
preservation neighborhood adjacent to the north and east of the site.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
There are no growth and development factors in the community that would
specifically indicate the need for or appropriateness of rezoning the subject site to
C-1 (Limited Commercial).
Lone Mountain Road is a primary arterial roadway and provides adequate access
to the subject site for some but not all commercial uses allowed in the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district.

FINDINGS (SUP-70725)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
A Pet Boarding facility could be conducted in a manner that is compatible with the
rural preservation neighborhood to the north and east, but the applicant is
unwilling to provide the fifty-foot setback for the outdoor exercise area that would
be required from any residential property for this type of use.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.

The subject is site could accommodate the appropriate setbacks for the outdoor
exercise area and additional parking to eliminate the parking variance, but the
applicant is choosing to not alter the site to comply with these ordinance
requirements.
Lone Mountain Road is a primary arterial roadway and provides adequate access
to the subject site for a Pet Boarding facility.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
A Pet Boarding use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district as
a conditional use, the applicant will not comply with the condition requiring a 50-
foot setback from a residential property and has applied for a special use permit.
There are no specific requirements for a Pet Boarding special use permit.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Major Modification and a Site Development Plan Review of a
proposed two-story, 35,000 square-foot fitness gym to be constructed on the western
2.85-acre portion of a 5.68-acre undeveloped lot located within Town Center at the
southwest corner of Rome Boulevard and Riley Street. The Major Modification includes
the entire 5.68 acre parcel.
ISSUES
x The subject site has two separate Town Center Land Use designations. The
applicant has proposed a Major Modification from the Urban Center Mixed-Use
(UC-TC) and Main Street Mixed-Use (MS-TC) land use designations to the
Service Commercial (SC-TC) land use designation. Staff supports this request.
x A Site Development Plan Review is required for a new structure within the
Master Plan area of Town Center. Staff is recommending denial of this request.
x 80 percent of the building front is required to be built-to-line, with the remaining
20 percent to be used for a courtyard or a plaza entry to the building. The
applicant has proposed zero percent of the building front to be built-to-line. Staff
does not support a Waiver to allow this proposal.
x The proposed building elevations do not provide the same level of detail and
finish on all sides of the building as required by the Town Center Development
Standards Manual. Staff does not support a Waiver to allow this proposal.
x The building faade of a multi-story building shall be stepped back four to eight
feet per the Town Center Development Standards Manual. The applicant has
proposed no stepback for the two-story building. Staff does not support a Waiver
to allow this proposal.
x A Waiver is required to allow 42 parking area trees where 49 are required. Staff
does not support a Waiver to allow this proposal.
ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to develop a 35,000 square-foot, two-story Health Club on
the western 2.85 acre portion of a 5.68-acre site located within the Master Plan area of
Town Center.

Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed site plan demonstrates a building with the front faade oriented to a
parking lot and not Rome Boulevard as required by the Town Center Development
Standards. Town Center requires the building to have a minimum of 80 percent of the
front to be built to the front setback line (built-to-line), with the remaining 20 percent to
be either a courtyard or a plaza entry space for the front door. The front of the building
is not built-to-line, nor is there a courtyard or plaza entry.
Two-story buildings within Town Center are required to step back the second story in
order to provide visual interest and reduce the street canyon effect and lessen the effect
of strong wind at the street level. The step back is required to be a minimum of four feet,
with a maximum of eight feet. The proposed building does not step back the second
floor, and depicts a typical big box commercial building that lacks individuality and
visual interest.
Town Center requires all buildings to provide the same level of detailing on all facades
as provided on the front. The proposed building elevations demonstrate building
facades with contrasting materials and colors for the south and west elevations only.
The north and east elevations demonstrate the same material (stucco) with a two-tone
paint color. The north and east building facades are not treated at the same level as the
south and west facades, and do not meet the level of finish required by Town Center.
The signage depicted in the elevations is for illustration only and not part of this review.
The proposed first floor plan depicts a lobby, kids club, an open gym floor, mens and
womens locker rooms, a storage room, employee breakroom, and an indoor pool. The
second floor depicts a group exercise room, a spin room, basketball court, and a cardio
cinema room where customers can watch movies while they exercise.
The proposed landscape plan has met the minimum width requirements for landscape
buffers, and has provided a shrub and tree palette that meets the requirements set forth
by the Town Center Development Standards Manual. A landscape island with one tree
and shrubs is required for every six uncovered parking spaces. Staff noted a portion of
the east perimeter parking, portions of the parking adjacent to the building, and the west
and north perimeter rows of parking with areas of more than six parking spaces without
a landscape island as required by the Town Center Development Standards Manual
and Title 19. A Waiver has been requested for the missing parking landscape islands.
The proposed Health Club does not meet the minimum requirements for built-to-line
requirements, step back requirements for multi-story buildings within Town Center, the
required amount of landscape islands with trees in the parking area, nor the detail and
finish requirements for all facades of a proposed building. Due to the before mentioned
standards not being met, staff is recommending denial of the Site Development Plan
Review.

FINDINGS (MOD-70751)
The subject 5.68-acre site currently has two separate Town Center Land Use
Designations: Urban Center Mixed-Use (UC-TC) and Main Street Mixed-Use (MS-TC).
The applicant has proposed to modify the existing land use designations to SC-TC
(Service Commercial) Town Center). The adjacent lot west of the subject site is also
designated SC-TC (Service Commercial). Modifying the current land use designations
to SC-TC (Service Commercial) would eliminate the split designations on a single lot
and create a uniform land use designation for the subject site, as well as continue a
land use designation already established directly west of the subject site. In addition,
the Service Commercial Town Center District allows low to medium intensity retail,
office or other commercial uses that are intended to serve primarily the Centennial Hills
area and do not include more intense general commercial characteristics. Staff finds the
Service Commercial District to be compatible with surrounding commercial land use
designations and is recommending approval of the Major Modification.
FINDINGS (SDR-70752)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;

number of landscape islands with trees required, and only two of the four building
facades received the same level of detailing and finish where Town Center
requires all four building facades to be finished and detailed at the same level.
Site access and circulation will not negatively impact adjacent roadways or
neighborhood traffic.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials proposed include painted stucco with aluminum and steel
accents. While the landscape materials proposed are appropriate for a desert
climate, they are not materials approved for Town Center. Staff has added a
Condition of Approval requiring landscape materials specified by the Town Center
Development Standards Manual.
The proposed building elevations do not demonstrate the same level of detailing
and finish on all sides of the building. This is undesirable, as this creates a loss of
consistency and cohesiveness in the design. The Town Center Development
Standards Manual specifically states for the same level of detail and finish to be
carried around all sides of the building to provide a more consistent design and
higher quality of development. Not carrying the same level of finish and detail
around the building is an undesirable design element in Town Center.

6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The proposed development is subject to review during the permitting process and
regular inspection during construction, thus protecting the public health, safety
and general welfare. In addition, once in operation, the proposed Health Club will
be subject to the Southern Nevada Health District regulations and the City of Las
Vegas Licensing requirements.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Onsite parking is proposed on the west, east and south sides of the building. A unique
feature of this development is the proposed addition of sculptures or replicas of cars,
tanks, dump trucks and artwork within the parking lot landscaping islands. In some
cases, landscape materials would be planted from within the vehicles or sculptures.

ANALYSIS
This site has alternated between M and C-1 zoning in the past 30 years with a current
General Plan land use designation of C (Commercial), which allows for a wide range of
commercial and residential zoning districts and uses. The area is fully developed with
commercial and industrial uses; some parcels had been occupied but are now vacant,
including the eastern portion of the subject site. This site formerly contained three
automobile dealerships and three single-story commercial/industrial buildings. An
asphalt parking lot with light standards is all that remains other than a block wall with
razor wire that was constructed adjacent to a service road within the development. This
will be removed to accommodate the development. Although the C-2 zoning district is
more intense than the current zoning district, allowing the widest range of non-industrial
commercial uses, it is nonetheless less intense than the surrounding parcels zoned M.
Moreover, the parcel is located next to Rancho Drive, which is a frontage road for
Interstate 15 and therefore appropriate for service-based uses. Finally, the nearest
residentially zoned parcel is located approximately 1,450 feet north of the site. For
these reasons, the requested Rezoning to C-2 is appropriate, and staff recommends
approval.
Title 19.08.040 requires coherent design on all sides of the building. The facades may
not be flat or plain without changes in color, materials or relief; however, the proposed
building is designed with tilt-up concrete panels having no changes in plane or relief.
The panels are to be painted black in keeping with the science fiction theme of the
amusement park. Windows are proposed only above the primary entrance and on the
south elevation. As the development is proposed on a corner lot, Title 19 requires that
SS
ZON-70650 and SDR-70652 [PRJ-70537]
Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
the building be oriented to the corner at the minimum setback lines, with parking to the
sides and rear. Waivers are proposed to allow the building to be set back from the
street frontages and corner, as well as to allow the stark design elements that define
this building. Given that the building is intended to fit the stated science fiction theme of
the amusement park, the request for waiver of the required design elements is
appropriate. For this particular use, placing the building at the street frontages like a
typical commercial or office building does not serve the purpose of the development.
The building is set back in part to allow the outdoor themed area to be prominent. Most
of the parking is still located to the side and rear of the building. The proposed building
placement also allows the applicant to utilize the existing service road for loading
purposes. Staff therefore recommends approval of the waiver for building placement.
A portion of the proposed development extends onto the neighboring parcel to the west,
which is part of the same commercial subdivision and owned by the same entity (under
a different name). The recorded subdivision map allows for access and parking
throughout the two parcels that make up the subdivision. The area on the adjacent
parcel (APN 162-08-418-003) where development is proposed is currently occupied by
a service road. The site plan indicates that 37 feet of the road will still remain, as will
access to both Sirius Avenue and Desert Inn Road.
Perimeter landscape buffers are in conformance with Title 19 standards with the
exception of a portion of the west buffer on the interior behind the building, which will
not contain trees. Staff recommends that an Exception be approved to allow three
fewer trees in this section of the buffer, as the trees in this area serve little purpose and
additional trees are provided along the western boundary near Sirius Avenue.
Landscape finger islands are provided throughout the entire parking lot; however, with a
few exceptions, trees are not proposed within the islands or at the ends of parking rows.
Vignettes depicting reclaimed vehicles, machinery and sculpture are planned within
several landscape island pairs, mostly in the south parking field. The vignettes are
appropriate given the amusement park theme. However, trees are needed within the
parking lot to provide shading and cooling effects, given the size of the lot. In addition
to providing at least one tree within the vignettes, staff will require that trees be provided
within the other islands and at the ends of parking rows as an alternate condition of
approval to approval of the requested Exception to allow just 17 total parking lot trees.
Amusement parks typically contain both indoor and outdoor venues. Based on
proposed capacity of 2,850 persons for both the indoor and outdoor uses of the
property, the Title 19 parking standards will be met by the proposal. In this case, only
the outdoor standard was used, as it is the more intense of two similar uses.
Signage for this development will be under separate permit. As the overall site exceeds
15 acres, a Master Sign Plan will be required for this site prior to the issuance of permits
for signage, and may include consolidation of signs along Sirius Avenue, Rancho Drive
or Desert Inn Road.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The aspects of the development not related to exterior aesthetics (with the exception of
parking lot landscaping) conform to Title 19 requirements. The building facades are
purposefully monolithic with few defining features, which places the development at
odds with Title 19 commercial design standards. However, given the context of the
amusement park theme and existing warehouses in the area, the development is
compatible with the area. Staff therefore recommends approval with conditions.
FINDINGS (ZON-70650)
The current General Plan land use designation for the subject parcel is C
(Commercial), which allows for a wide range of commercial and residential uses
and zoning districts, as well as mixed uses. The proposed C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district conforms to the C (Commercial) designation.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district allows for a broad range of retail,
service, automotive, wholesale, office and other general business uses of an
intense character, as well as mixed uses. These uses are compatible with the
existing warehouse, automotive, office and retail uses on the adjacent parcels,
which are zoned M (Industrial). The parcel is also adjacent to a freeway frontage
road and located away from residential development.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The subject parcel currently contains a less intense zoning district (C-1) than the
surrounding area (M). There are no residential dwellings in the vicinity of this
request. The adjacent streets can accommodate more intense uses than the
current zoning district allows.

The subject site is served by Rancho Drive, a 47-foot wide local street that serves
as a frontage road along Interstate 15; Sirius Avenue, a 60-foot Minor Street; and
Desert Inn Road, an 80-foot Major Collector that runs one-way westbound
adjacent to the site. These roadways will be adequate in size to meet the
requirements of the proposed C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district.
FINDINGS (SDR-70652)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed development will have access from two driveways each on Sirius
Avenue and Rancho Drive. With this project, Sirius Avenue is expected to be at
about 27 percent of capacity and Rancho Drive is expected to be at about 48
percent of capacity. Based on these numbers, while trips on these roads will
significantly increase, the capacity will remain well below impactful levels. No
access is planned from Desert Inn Road.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The building elevations are intentionally not aesthetically pleasing in keeping with
the post-apocalyptic theme of the amusement park. They are appropriate in this
area that includes primarily industrial buildings with unarticulated walls and
rooflines.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
This development will be subject to building permit and business license review
and inspection, thereby protecting the health, safety and general welfare of the
public.

the proposal based on the amusement park theme.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting was not required, nor was one held.
Field Check
The site is paved with asphalt and contains light standards and parking

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Rezoning and Special Use Permit for a proposed 441 square-foot
Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use within a portion of an existing 1,210 square foot office
building located at 1920 West Bonanza Road.
ISSUES
x The applicant has proposed to rezone (ZON-70727) the subject site from C-1
(Limited Commercial) to C-2 (General Commercial)
x The Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use is permitted in the C-2 (General Commercial)
zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
x Staff has added a condition of approval which will require the applicant to install an
eight-foot landscape buffer along the north property line; with 24-inch box trees
every 20 linear feet and four shrubs per tree, prior to the issuance of a business
license.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The applicant
has requested that the site be Rezoned (ZON-70727) to the C-2 (General Commercial)
zoning district, which allows the proposed Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use with an
approved Special Use Permit. The applicant has proposed to utilize 441 square-feet of
the existing 1,210 office building located on the subject site for the proposed Motor
Vehicle Sales (Used) use.
A Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use is described in Title 19.12 as: A facility or area, other
than an auto sales showroom, used primarily for the display and sale or leasing of used
automobiles, motorcycles and motor scooters, but excluding mopeds. This use includes
service bays and auto body shops which are incidental and accessory to the sales use.
1. The minimum site area designated for this use shall be 25,000 square feet.
The subject site is 0.67 net acres, which is approximately 29,185 square feet in size.
JB
ZON-70727 and SUP-70728 [PRJ-70641]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
2. The installation and use of an outside public address or bell system is prohibited.
The applicant has indicated that no public address or bell system will be used with the
proposed development.
The applicant has indicated that all exterior lighting shall be screened or otherwise
designed so as not to shine directly onto any adjacent parcel of land.
5*. No motor vehicle sales (used) may be located on Rancho Drive, between Vegas
Drive and Craig Road.
The site will provide 18 total parking spaces with one handicapped parking space, which
exceeds the four parking space required by Title 19.12.010 for a Motor Vehicle Sales
(Used) and Office, other than listed use on the subject site. This property is currently
served by Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) but does not have the required
backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil plans will need to be submitted for
backflow retrofit.
Staff has determined the proposed site is suitable for a Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use
and will have minimal negative impact to the surrounding area. The proposed use and
design of this proposal will be harmonious with the surrounding land uses. Staff
recommends approval of the requested Rezoning and Special Use Permit for a Motor
Vehicle Sales (Used) use.

2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed C-2 (General Commercial) zoning designation would permit the
proposed Motor Vehicle Sales (used) use with an approved Special Use Permit,
which is compatible with the single family dwellings on lots zoned R-E
(Residence Estates) bordering the site to the north and commercial uses to
east, west and south.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The site is adjacent to Bonanza Road, which will provide adequate capacity to
serve the proposed use.
FINDINGS (SUP-70728)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) can be conducted in a manner that is
harmonious and compatible with the surrounding commercial and single family
residential land uses, and with the future surrounding land uses.

2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site can physically accommodate the proposed Motor Vehicle Sales
(Used) use and is in close proximity to other commercial uses in the area.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
Approval of this proposed Special Use Permit will not compromise the public
health, safety and general welfare of the public, as the use will be subject to
regular inspections and licensing restrictions.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use meets all Title 19.12 minimum
special use permit requirements.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance and a Major Site Development Plan Review for the
existing Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage use with Waivers of the landscape buffers, chain
link fence with slats and wall height over the five-foot tall in the front yard setback on a property
located at 2020 West Bonanza Road.
ISSUES
x A Variance application is required to allow an existing eight-foot tall wrought iron fence on
the front yard area where a maximum of five feet is allowed. Staff recommends denial.
x The applicant is requesting a Waiver to Title 19.08.080, to allow a zero-foot landscape
buffer where a 15-foot landscape buffer is required along the south property line. Staff
supports this request as landscaping is installed in the public-of-way.
x The applicant is requesting Waivers to Title 19.08.080, to allow zero-foot landscape buffers
where eight-foot landscape buffer is required along the north, west and east property lines.
Staff recommends denial, as there is adequate space available for the required landscape
buffers.
x The applicant is requesting a Waiver to allow chain link fencing with plastic slats to function
as the required screen walls along the north and east property lines. The fence with slats
contradicts the previous approval by the City Council requiring an eight-foot decorative
masonry wall, as such staff does not support this request.
x The applicant is requesting exceptions to Title 19.08.040 and 19.08.110 to allow no shrubs
within the north, west and east perimeter landscape buffers. Staff recommends denial, as
there is adequate spaces available within the site to provide the required landscaping.
ANALYSIS
The requested waivers to provide adequate screening and exceptions for the reduction of
onsite landscaping demonstrate a proposal that does not incorporate the appropriate buffering
elements from the neighboring single-family residences to the east, west, and north.
The subject site is located within with the West Las Vegas Plan, which seeks to buffer
commercial development from low density residential neighborhoods. The applicant is seeking
waivers of the reduction in width to the front property line and to utilize wire fencing with plastic
slats, demonstrating a less-effective approach to screening the property from the neighboring
residential properties. In addition to the waivers, the applicant is seeking exceptions to the
required amount of perimeter landscaping, which further lessens the visual nuisance and noise
abatement to the surrounding area.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
On August 21, 2013 the City Council approved Special Use Permit (SUP-48810) and Site
Development Plan Review (SDR-48811) for a Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage Yard. An
annual inspection was conducted for the subject site. The inspection resulted in a Code
Enforcement case (#170300) for noncompliance with the conditions of approval pursuant to
SDR-48811. The required landscaping buffers along the north, west and east property lines
where the 24-inch box trees were to be planted have not been installed.
The applicant has requested a waiver to allow the existing chain link fence with slat screening
to remain along the north and a portion of the east property lines. The required eight-foot tall
decorative masonry wall along the north and east property lines were not installed to replace
existing chain link fence as conditioned pursuant to SDR-48811. The fence contradicts the
added condition by City Council requiring an eight-foot tall decorative masonry wall, which staff
does not support.
The applicant is requesting a Major Amendment to SDR-48811, with waivers to allow a zero-
foot landscaping buffer along the north, west and east property lines, where eight feet is
required by Title 19. An exception has been requested by the applicant to allow no trees
where a total of 53 24-inch box trees are required along the north, west and east property
lines. An exception of the 5-gallon shrubs for every required tree within these landscape
buffers has been granted through SDR-48811.
The applicant is also requesting a waiver to allow no landscaping buffer along the south
property line where 15 feet is required adjacent to the right-of-way. SDR-48811, granted a
waiver of the landscape buffer width to 10 feet. However, the existing landscape buffer is
located in the right-of-way. There are a total of four 24-inch box trees with the required 5-
gallon shrubs that are located in the right-of-way. Associated with this waiver are exceptions
to Title 19.08.040(F)(a) and (b) Landscape Materials, to allow no trees and shrubs within the
south landscape buffer.
A Variance (VAR-70791) application has been requested to allow the existing eight-foot
wrought iron fence located on the south property line. Pursuant to Title 19.08.100, the front
yard fence maximum height is five feet. The existing was built when a building permit was
issued in error on 10/30/14 for the eight-foot fence. However, the building permit was never
finalized and has expired. The applicant applied for a new building permit (#343149) for the
same fence and was denied on 05/25/17, since the fence requires a Variance to be approved.
The proposed eight-foot tall front yard fence exceeds the maximum height requirement. Staff
finds that the applicant is creating a self-imposed hardship; therefore, recommends denial of
this request. The related Site Development Plan Review (SDR-70792) does not allow for
adequate screening of the commercial uses on site and requests for waivers and exceptions to
the commercial development standards; therefore, staff recommends denial of these requests.
If these requests are approved it is subject to conditions.

2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, and
other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed site does not meet Policy 2.2.1, of the 2020 Master Plan which states.
That any higher density or mixed-use redevelopment which is adjacent to lower density
residential development incorporate appropriate design, transition, or buffering elements
which will mitigate adverse visual, audible, aesthetic and traffic impacts. Although the
site is physically suitable for the proposed use, the proposed design does not meet
substantial components of the Title 19 development standards, as evidenced by the
multiple waiver and exception requests.
The site access is accessed primarily from Bonanza Road, a 100-foot wide Primary
Arterial, which is adequate for this site. There is a secondary gate access shown on the
provided site plans from a drive that connects to Clarkway Drive, a 50-foot wide local
street. The applicant has not stated the intent of accessing the site from Clarkway Drive.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The proposed materials will consist of an existing chain link fencing with plastic slats
provides screening. These materials are not acceptable unless approved as part of an
overall development plan per Title 19.08.040(G)(4).
There are no new buildings proposed with this Site Development Plan Review at this
time.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety
and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to develop a vacant parcel on the northeast corner of Dorrell
Lane and Hualapai Way into an 18-lot single family residential subdivision
ISSUES
x The Interlocal Agreement designates this site as within Planning Area B, which
states that During the term of this agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area
B must remain residential and maintain a minimum buildable lot size of 10,000
square feet and the City must not amend its land use plan, rezone such properties or
approve special or conditional use permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or
residential lots with a buildable area of less than 10,000 square feet within the areas
identified as Planning Area B. Staff is recommending denial of the proposed project
because it violates the Interlocal Agreement.
x Rezoning (ZON-70762) would rezone the property from R-E (Residence Estates) to
R-1 (Single Family Residential).
x Waiver (WVR-70763) would allow a street offset of 208 feet and 214 feet for the
proposed north/south street, where 220 foot offsets are required by Title 19.02.140.
x Vacation (VAC-70765) would vacate U.S. Government Patent Easements.
x Tentative Map (TMP-70766) would allow Connor Hills 3, an 18-lot single family
residential subdivision.
ANALYSIS
The purpose of the R-1 District is to provide for the development of single family
detached dwellings in a suburban setting. The R-1 District is consistent with the policies
of the Low Density Residential category of the General Plan. (The Master Plan Land
Use Designations Table also indicates that the R-1 District is consistent with the Rural
Density Residential and Medium-Low Density Residential categories.)

The applicant is also proposing a Tentative Map (TMP-70766) for an 18-lot single family
residential subdivision with lot sizes ranging from 7,638 square feet to 9,494 square
feet. The existing General Plan land use designation R (Rural Density Residential) has
an allowable density of 3.59 dwelling units per gross acre, which would translate to a
maximum of 18 units on this 5.2-acre parcel.
The Interlocal Agreement designates this site as within Planning Area B, which states
that During the term of this agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area B must
remain residential and maintain a minimum buildable lot size of 10,000 square feet and
the City must not amend its land use plan, rezone such properties or approve special or
conditional use permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or residential lots with a
buildable area of less than 10,000 square feet within the areas identified as Planning
Area B. The proposed lot sizes of the Tentative Map (TMP-70766) range from 7,638
square feet to 9,494 square feet, which is in conflict with the requirements of the
Interlocal Agreement.
The applicant has requested a Waiver (WVR-70763) of Title 19.02.140 to allow offsets
for the proposed north/south street that are below the 220-foot minimum required. The
southern offset would be 214 feet and the northern offset would be 208 feet. The
applicant has also requested a Vacation (VAC-70765) to Vacate U.S. Government
Patent Easements on the property. This Vacation request should be sent to all the
utilities, as no right-of-way is proposed to be vacated, and thus no franchise rights are
involved. It is not necessary to wait for responses from any of the public utilities or other
parties interested in preserving a right in this patent easement. Since only City interests
are involved; any utility companys interests will need to be addressed with each
respective utility company and will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
The submitted east/west cross sections depict maximum natural grade greater than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope greater than 2%, is allowed a maximum 6-foot retaining wall. A 6-foot
maximum retaining is shown on the east and west property lines.
The submitted north/south cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope less than 2%, is allowed a maximum 4-foot retaining wall. A 2-foot
maximum retaining wall is shown on the north property line and no retaining wall is
shown on the south property line.
Clark County School District has indicated that the proposed development will add 3
elementary school students, 1 middle school student and 2 high school students. The
schools in the area, Darnell Elementary School and Centennial High School, are over
capacity for the 2016-17 school year. Darnell Elementary School is 128.86% and
Centennial High School is 125.94% of program capacity.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Department of Public Works has provided the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the
proposed 18-lot single family residential subdivision and approximately 171 trips per day
on Hualapai Way, Dorrell Lane, and Deer Springs Way are anticipated. Currently,
Hualapai Way is at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs Way is at about 17
percent of capacity. With this project, Hualapai Way is expected to remain at about 79
percent and Deer Springs Way at about 18 percent. Counts are not available for Dorrell
Lane in this area, but it is believed to be under capacity.
In summary, staff supports the requested Vacation as it is appropriate for the area.
However, staff finds the Rezoning, Waiver and Tentative Map to be in direct conflict with
the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement and recommends denial of these
applications.
FINDINGS (ZON-70762)
The sites general plan designation is R (Rural Density Residential) which allows
for the proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district allows single family
residential development at a density that would be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood, so long as the lots are a minimum of 10,000 square
feet in area in conformance with the Interlocal Agreement.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

FINDINGS (WVR-70763)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waivers of Title
19.02.140 to allow street offsets of 2087 and 214 feet where 220 feet is required.
Therefore, staff recommends denial of this request. If approved, staff has included
recommended conditions of approval.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to construct a detached garage within the required front yard setback
area. The garage is also proposed to be built in front of the principal dwelling located at
8012 Robison Circle.
ISSUES
x The R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district requires accessory structures to
have a minimum front yard setback of 20 feet. It also stipulates that accessory
structures not be permitted in front of the primary structure on site. The applicant
proposes to construct a garage with a front yard setback of 15 feet and in front of the
principal dwelling. Staff recommends denial of the request.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within a residential subdivision at the end of a cul-de-sac. It
is adjacent to properties with single family dwellings on all sides. The applicant
requests a Variance to construct an Accessory Structure (Class II) [garage] in the
southwest corner of the subject parcel with a 15-foot front yard setback and positioned
in front of the principal dwelling on site. Title 19 requires accessory structures located
within the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district to have a minimum 20-foot
front yard setback and restricts them from being placed in front of the primary structure
unless the structure is a side-loaded garage that is used strictly as an ancillary use and
does not encroach into the front setback area. In the submitted justification letter, the
applicant states that the garage will be used as a workshop. The exterior of the
accessory structure will be painted to match the exterior faade of the principal dwelling
onsite.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of
the request. If approved, the applicant will be able to construct their garage as
proposed.
FINDINGS (VAR-70661)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a Special Use Permit and a Site Development Plan Review for a
proposed six story, 133-room Residence Hotel at 824 South Decatur Boulevard.
ISSUES
x The subject site is currently developed with an operating Motor Vehicle Sales (Used)
facility.
x A Special Use Permit is required for a Hotel Residence within the C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district. Staff recommends approval of the request.
x A Site Development Plan Review has been submitted to allow a six story, 133-room
Residence Hotel. Staff recommends approval of the request.
x A previous request for a Special Use Permit (SUP-67136) and Site Development
Plan Review (SDR-67137) for a 140-room, four story Residence Hotel was
withdrawn without prejudice at the 02/01/17 City Council meeting.
ANALYSIS
The request is for a Special Use Permit and a Site Development Plan Review for a
proposed six story, 133-room Residence Hotel at 824 South Decatur Boulevard. The
site is zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and is currently developed with an operating
Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) facility. The site is located within the Las Vegas
Redevelopment Area and the 175-foot Airport Overlay District. The site is adjacent to
an R-1 (Single-family Residential) zoned parcel to the south; however, the site is utilized
as a church, which is a non-residential use. As such, residential adjacency standards
do not apply to the subject property. The site receives access via two drives from
Decatur Boulevard, and the proposed six story building is located generally at the center
of the subject site. Surrounding the building, 133 parking spaces are provided where
133 are required, and 118 of those spaces are proposed to be covered parking.

July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The applicant has requested a waiver to the requirements of Title 19.08.200 (B), to
allow a building with no changes in wall plane, color, material or relief. Staff supports
the waiver request due to the unique construction method that is being proposed; using
overseas containers for the main construction material makes providing relief and
changes in wall plane unrealistic, and the consistent colors and materials are part of the
architects efforts to provide a cohesive design.
The landscape plan depicts the required perimeter landscape buffer widths along the
property lines. These buffer areas are planted with the required 24-inch box trees every
20 feet on-center. The front-yard perimeter landscaping enhances the street front along
Decatur Boulevard in an area where landscaping is generally lacking along the right-of-
way. Tree species used include Fan Palms, Arizona Mesquites, African Sumacs, and
Rio Grande Ash. Provided shrubs include five-gallon Blue Ranger and Red Yuccas. On
some of the submitted plans the perimeter landscape buffers are depicted as having
natural grass, a condition of approval clarifies that an approved ground cover would be
required instead. The plans indicate covered parking for the vast majority of the parking
required and therefore parking lot landscaping is not required in those areas. The
applicant is considering covering the tops of the parking canopies with plantings as well.
The floor plans depict a consistent room type for the main floors of the structure and
larger suite units on the rooftop near the swimming pool. The units include kitchen
facilities and are consistent with a typical Residence Hotel room.
The proposed development is appropriate for the C-2 (General Commercial) zone and
the Las Vegas Redevelopment Area. The adjacent uses will not be adversely affected
by the proposed residence hotel, and the site is adequately buffered from the multi-
family residential development to the west and the house of worship to the south. The
proposed landscaping will enhance the Decatur Boulevard street front, and measures
have been taken to ensure that the building is aesthetically compatible with the
development in the area. Staff recommends approval of the Site Development Plan
review.
The Hotel Residence use is defined as a multi-dwelling facility for extended stay
lodging, consisting of:
1. Efficiency units or suites with a kitchen containing a refrigerator, sink and cooking
facilities (such as a stove or microwave) suitable for long term occupancy;
2. Customary hotel services such as linen, maid service, telephone and upkeep of
furniture; and
3. Optional resident and guest amenities such as meeting rooms, club house and
recreation facilities. This use does not include facilities which qualify as other
types of dwelling units defined in this Title.

The site meets the minimum Special Use Requirements of a Hotel-Residence and it is
located an appropriate location. The floor plans depict rooms with full kitchens and
private bathrooms, which are consistent with a typical Hotel Residence room. The hotel
will provide customary hotel services as required, and a pool and recreation area for
hotel guests is proposed on the roof. Staff recommends approval of the request.
FINDINGS (SUP-70769)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed residence hotel is located in a C-2 (General Commercial) zone and
the use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and compatible with
existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land uses as
projected by the General Plan.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the proposed land use.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.

neighborhood traffic. This project will add approximately 1,012 trips per day on
Decatur Boulevard and Charleston Boulevard. Decatur Boulevard is currently at
approximately 72 percent of capacity and Charleston Boulevard is at
approximately 81 percent of capacity, and after this project would rise to
approximately 74 percent and 83 percent respectively.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to allow a Short-Term Residential Rental use at 1700 Bannie Avenue.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The Short-Term Residential Rental use is defined as The commercial use, or the
making available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging
or sleeping purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a
period of less than 31 consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a
Community Residence, Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any
other facility with dwelling units that is specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. The
proposed use meets this definition, as the applicant intends to rent out its single-family
dwelling for short-term use.
CS
SUP-70669 [PRJ-70580]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license.
2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing and
regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes and
licensing fees.
If a business license is issued for the Short-Term Residential Rental use, it will
be subject to license renewal and annual compliance review to ensure that all
regulatory requirements are being met.
3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses.
If this use violates the Citys noise regulations, neighbors or members of the
public can file a complaint to the Code Enforcement Division, which could result
in a fine.
4. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable parking
regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or
access to other properties in the area.
If the parking regulations are violated or create any traffic obstruction to other
properties, the public can either call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department or the Business License Division for noncompliance of business
license requirements.
If approved, this application will be subject to annual review for compliance of the
special use permit by the Department of Planning.
6. The use may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other Short-Term Residential
Rental use (measured from property line to property line).
CS
SUP-70669 [PRJ-70580]
Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject property is located approximately 569 feet from another Short-Term
Residential Rental use. This Special Use Permit application is accompanied by a
request for a waiver of the distance separation.
7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will not be compatible with the
surrounding residential uses due to the existing Short-Term Rental use that is currently
licensed approximately 569 feet from the subject site. Code requirements are intended
to discourage the saturation of Short-Term Residential Rental uses within residential
areas. The minimum special use permit requirements specify that the distance between
similar uses shall be at least 660 feet; therefore, staff recommends denial. If this
application is approved, it is subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-70669)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the existence of a
Short-Term Rental use located approximately 569 feet from the subject property.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site can be accessed from Bannie Avenue, a 60-foot public right-of-
way that is adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.

4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
Approval of the Special Use Permit on this site will be subject to conditions of
approval and business license compliance.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet all of the applicable conditions of Title 19.12.
The use may not be closer than 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential
Rental use. The applicant is requesting a waiver to permit a 569-foot distance
separation.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for an Alternative Parking Standard to allow seven parking spaces
where 21 are required for an existing General Personal Service and a proposed Clinic
use at 200 Foremaster Lane.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
On July 15, 2015, 200 Foremaster Lane was granted an Alternative Parking Standard to
allow four parking spaces where 18 was required for a proposed General Personal
Service. The facility currently provides office equipment such as computers and Xerox
copiers to the homeless, and office space for administrators who distribute clothing, first
aid packs, and water to the homeless.
Operation H.O.P.E. has proposed to open a Clinic within an approximate 817 square-
foot portion of 200 Foremaster Lane that would offer medical and dental services to the
homeless. The proposed Clinic use intensifies the existing parking need resulting in the
application for a Special Use Permit for an Alternative Parking Standard to allow seven
parking spaces where 21 are required for both uses.
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Downtown North Land Use
Plan, and has a General Commercial (GC) land use designation. The C-2 (General
Commercial) designation allows a Clinic use, as proposed. The Downtown North Land
Use Plan serves two purposes, to outline ideas that will guide the city of Las Vegas in
reducing and ending homelessness, and to support the Southern Nevada Regional
Homeless and Housing Plan. As stated in the Downtown North Land Use plan, the
success of the citys plan depends on the ability of local government along with regional
participation and collaboration to mobilize, coordinate, re-examine, and provide the
financial and human resources needed to reduce and end homelessness. Reducing and
ending homelessness requires participation from all stakeholders ranging from local
NE
SUP-70964 [PRJ-70963]
Staff Report Page Two
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
government, service providers, community leaders and members, mental health and
correctional facilities, and the individual or family experiencing homelessness. The
addition of a Clinic use within close proximity to other Social Service providers supports
this purpose.
The Clinic use is defined by Title 19.12 as A facility which is occupied and used for the
purpose of providing dental or medical care, and which regularly provides any of those
services to the general public on an emergency basis or without appointment. This use
does not include a hospital or a facility which provides for the overnight care or
overnight stay of patients. There are no minimum requirements for the proposed Clinic
use.
As stated by the applicant in the justification letter, the Clinic would be open to the
homeless on Mondays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. initially, and as more volunteers
become available these hours of operation could increase to other days of the week.
The existing General Personal Service use, and the proposed Clinic use are unique in
that they only serve the homeless population. The clientele serviced at this location do
not have personal vehicles that require dedicated parking spaces. The only parking
needed at this facility is for staff and volunteers.
The applicant has provided an Alternative Parking Demand Analysis that was prepared
by a Nevada licensed Professional Engineer. This analysis was based on the
observations of the current parking counts at a similar facility located at 992 East
Sahara Avenue. As stated by the engineer in the analysis, the maximum number of
parking spaces required would be six for both the existing General Personal Service,
and the proposed Clinic use. The applicant is proposing seven parking stalls.
The applicant has substantiated this request through a parking study performed by a
Nevada licensed Professional Engineer which has demonstrated that seven parking
spaces is sufficient for both the existing General Personal Service and the proposed
Clinic use; therefore, staff recommends approval of the application. If denied, the
proposed Clinic use could not be located on the site.
FINDINGS (SUP-70964)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
NE
SUP-70964 [PRJ-70963]
Staff Report Page Three
July 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
Although the proposed use is appropriate for the commercial site, the proposal
cannot adhere to minimum parking requirements as outlined by Title 19.12. The
submitted parking demand analysis substantiates a reduced number of parking
spaces required and therefore, the intensity of land use is acceptable.
Site access is provided by Foremaster Lane, a 60-foot wide local street. This is
adequate to meet the use proposed for the site.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
Approval of the Special Use Permit for an Alternative Parking Standard will not
compromise the public health, safety, or general welfare, as the proposed uses
are subject to regular inspections and minimum licensing requirements.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The applicant has requested an Alternative Parking Standard in order to meet the
parking requirements for both the Clinic and General Personal Service use.
