PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains 3,126 square-foot building occupied by an existing Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use. The building is proposed to be converted into a
convenience store. The subject property is located in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district and the proposed use is subject to Title 19.12 requirements.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
RG
SUP-71318 [PRJ-71152]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use does not meet this requirement due to a 370-foot distance
separation from a Church/House of Worship use, a waiver request is part of this
application for a Special Use Permit. However, staff finds there is adequate
buffer between the uses and recommends approval.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement due to a 370-foot distance
separation from a Church/House of Worship use, a waiver request is part of this
application for a Special Use Permit. However, staff finds there is adequate
buffer between the uses and recommends approval.
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of
the structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
intervening obstacles; or
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a
shopping center or other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest property
line of the existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold or
occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located, without regard
to intervening obstacles.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The requirement is not applicable because the parcel is less than 80 acres in
size.
*4. When considering a Special Use Permit application for an establishment which
also requires a waiver of the distance limitation in Requirement 1, the Planning
Commission shall take into consideration the distance policy and shall, as part
of its recommendation to the City Council, state whether the distance
requirement should be waived and the reasons in support of the decision.
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor
space.
*6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of
LVMC Chapter 6.50.

d. In connection with a retail establishment having less than 20,000 square feet
of retail floor space, if the area to be used for the sale, display or merchandising
of alcoholic beverages and each use to be protected are separated by a
highway or a right of way with a width of at least 100 feet.
The proposed use meets subsection (c) of this requirement as the proposed
convenience store space contains 3,126 square feet and no more than 10
percent of the retail floor space would be devoted to the display or
merchandising of alcoholic beverages. Staff finds there is adequate justification
for the waiver request of the distance separation.
This requirement does not apply as the site location is not adjacent to the
Pedestrian Mall.
FINDINGS (SUP-71318)
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:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
Access to the site is proposed from one driveway off of Rampart Boulevard. The site is
undeveloped, all grading and drainage has already taken place and will not be an issue.
This will change upon future development of the site. Parking and access is intended to
be allowed across the site. A condition of approval will require that common perpetual
access and parking will be granted across the entire proposed commercial subdivision.
Staff notes that north/south and east/west cross sections are shown with this Tentative
Map submittal, but elevations are not provided. However, since this property and all
surrounding property is developed or graded, no retaining walls are shown or
anticipated.
The map meets and complies with the Title 19 and NRS 278 requirements for a
Tentative Map; therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions. If denied, the
existing parcel would remain.
FINDINGS (TMP-71533)
All Title 19 zoning and NRS 278 and technical requirements regarding tentative maps
are satisfied. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the subject tentative map with
conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is seeking review of a Tentative Map for a gated 69-lot single family
residential subdivision on approximately 16 acres north of Centennial Parkway and east
of Hualapai Way. As part of the request, excess rights-of-way would need to be
vacated to incorporate into the site. Additionally, U.S. Government Patent Easements
would need to be vacated.
ISSUES
A General Plan Amendment is proposed to change the land use category of the
subject site from R (Rural Density Residential) to L (Low Density Residential).
A Rezoning is proposed from U (Undeveloped) [R (Rural Density Residential)
General Plan Designation] to R-1 (Single Family Residential).
A Waiver of LVMC Title 19.06.040 is required to allow no perimeter landscape buffer
along the north property line where a minimum six-foot buffer is required. Staff
supports this waiver.
The applicant has requested a Variance to allow a Connectivity Ratio of 1.22 in the
proposed subdivision where 1.30 is required. Staff supports this variance.
The applicant has proposed to vacate portions of Darling Road and Conquistador
Street in conflict with the proposed development, as well as U.S. Government Patent
Easements.
A Multi-Use Non-Equestrian Trail is required along the north side of Centennial
Parkway, east of the Conquistador Street alignment. The trail has been
incorporated into the proposed tentative map.
Additional landscaping needs to be added in the required private landscape buffer
along Centennial Parkway. A condition of approval addresses this issue.
ANALYSIS
The site is located in an undeveloped area between Centennial Parkway and Clark
County 215. Land to the east and west is federally owned and managed. Single-family
homes south of Centennial Parkway adjacent to this site are zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) with an average lot size of about 9,700 square feet. The property is just
north of (but not within) the Interlocal Excepted Area B. Properties in this area must
maintain a minimum residential buildable lot area of 10,000 square feet and/or remain at
a density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre or less.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Centennial Parkway provides a boundary between mostly undeveloped land that abuts
the Clark County 215 Freeway and less dense residential development to the south.
Higher density residential development is appropriate in this area north of Centennial
Parkway, as these parcels are attached to the freeway right-of-way and Centennial
Parkway provides a buffer to the lower density lots to the south. Furthermore, property
to the west is designated PF (Public Facilities), which would not be developed for
residential purposes. Given its location, the L (Low Density Residential) General Plan
designation, which allows up to 5.49 dwelling units per acre, is recommended. The R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district requires a minimum lot size of 6,500 square
feet but can accommodate much larger lots. The proposed density of this site is 4.07
dwelling units per acre, which would conform to the L (Low Density Residential)
designation.
Residential lots range in size from 6,503 square feet to 14,685 square feet. The map
and site plan indicate 49-foot wide private streets with roll curbs on the interior. The
Title 19.04 Narrow Lot Complete Streets standard is applied, in which the five-foot
landscape zone with trees is located along the sidewalk at the front of the private lots.
The Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan requires a transportation (non-equestrian) trail
adjacent to this site along the portion of Centennial Parkway east of the Conquistador
Street alignment. The trail consists of a five-foot amenity zone and 10-foot concrete
path within the public right-of-way and a six-foot private landscape buffer. The tentative
map indicates the required trail configuration. Pink Dawn Chitalpa and African Sumac
trees are provided in the amenity zone and six-foot private landscape buffer. A
condition of approval will require the technical landscape plan to indicate the required
number of five-gallon shrubs per Title 19. Staff recommends approval of the requested
Waiver to provide no landscape buffer along the north property line adjacent to Clark
County 215, as the buffer would not be visible from the freeway and would be difficult to
maintain.
The private street configuration consists of two offset loop streets connected by one of
the streets in the loop. The Connectivity Ratio for this development is 1.22, meaning
that vehicular movements are limited to locations within the proposed subdivision with
no links to other external developments. Staff recommends approval of the requested
Variance to allow a Connectivity Ratio of less than 1.3, as the development area is
irregularly shaped and would not efficiently accommodate residential lots on a gridded
street pattern.
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 six-foot retaining wall. A 4.5-foot

maximum retaining wall is shown on the east property line and a 1.5-foot maximum
retaining wall is shown on the west property line.
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 four-foot retaining wall. A four-foot
maximum retaining wall is shown on the south property line and a two-foot retaining wall
is shown on the north property line adjacent to the Clark County 215 freeway.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 30 additional primary and
secondary school students would be generated by the proposed development on this
site. Of the three levels of schools serving the area, only Escobado Middle School is
under capacity for the 2017-18 school year. In particular, Darnell Elementary School is
estimated to be at 120 percent of capacity and Centennial High School is estimated at
127.5 percent of program capacity. This analysis was based on 70 lots.
The subject site is bound on the south by Centennial Parkway, a primary arterial, and
on the north by Clark County 215. These constraints lower the desirability for ultra-low
densities such as those found south of Centennial Parkway. Staff therefore
recommends approval of a General Plan Amendment to L (Low Density Residential)
and a Rezoning to R-1 (Single Family Residential), as well as approval of a Tentative
Map for a 69-lot single-family residential subdivision and the related variance and
waiver, with conditions.
FINDINGS (GPA-71535)
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 density of the subject site would increase over the existing
residential developments south of Centennial Parkway, which are designated
RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) and R (Rural Density Residential).
However, the proposed L (Low Density Residential) designation is compatible with
the adjacent PF (Public Facilities) land use designation to the west and abuts the
Clark County 215 freeway. Therefore, the application of higher residential
densities is justified.

Staff Report Page Four
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The L (Low Density Residential) land use category allows for the U, R-E, R-D, and
R-1 zoning designations. These potential districts are compatible with the existing
R-E (Clark County) and R-1 zoned parcels on developments to the south of
Centennial Parkway and with the U (Undeveloped) [R (Rural Density Residential]
zoning district on the adjacent parcels.
Parcels in this area have recently annexed into the City of Las Vegas and are now
developing the infrastructure needed to support urban growth. Centennial
Parkway will be fully improved to a Primary Arterial street adjacent to the site.
There are no other special area plans or overlays in this specific area. The Las
Vegas 2020 Master Plan broadly recommends preservation of rural
neighborhoods in this area of the city. To this end, Centennial Parkway
provides an adequate buffer from low density single-family development to the
south.
FINDINGS (ZON-71536)
The proposed Rezoning to R-1 (Single Family Residential) would conform to the
General Plan upon approval of a General Plan Amendment to the L (Low Density
Residential) 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 R-1 zoning district allows a range of single-family dwelling unit sizes suitable
for suburban settings. Currently, the only existing single-family residential homes
north of Centennial Parkway in this area are located east of Tee Pee Lane. The
remainder of this area is undeveloped or occupied by an existing secondary public
school, uses that are compatible with the proposed residential area.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The site is constrained by the location of the Clark County 215 right-of-way along
the north boundary, where lower density development is not appropriate. A
similar development with a comparable density has been approved further to the
west near Centennial High School.
FINDINGS (VAR-71537)
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 (VAC-71538)
The existing U.S. Government Patent Easements have been determined to no longer
be needed, as new permanent development is proposed over the parcels comprising
this site. Staff recommends approval of their vacation.
The Department of Public Works presents the following information concerning the
request to vacate certain public street rights-of-way:
B. From a traffic handling viewpoint will this vacation request result in a reduced
traffic handling capability? No, since the streets are currently unused.
C. Does it appear that the vacation request involves only excess right-of-way? No,
it is to eliminate two unused streets that will be incorporated into a subdivision.
D. Does this vacation request coincide with development plans of the adjacent
parcels? Yes, TMP-71539.
E. Does this vacation request eliminate public street access to any abutting parcel?
No.
F. Does this vacation request result in a conflict with any existing City
requirements? No.
G. Does the Department of Public Works have an objection to this vacation request?
No.
FINDINGS (TMP-71539)
The submitted Tentative Map is in conformance with all Title 19 and NRS requirements
for tentative maps. The existing public rights-of-way and U.S. Government patent
easements in conflict with site development must be vacated prior to recordation of a
final map over the site.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss
submittal requirements for the proposed project. The applicant was
informed that a variance would be needed for a substandard
08/17/17 Connectivity Ratio, as the allowable deviation needed for
administrative approval is 3% or less. The Waiver for relief from
perimeter landscape buffer standards was not discussed until after
submittal.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting was held at the Centennial Hills YMCA
located at 6601 N. Buffalo Drive in Las Vegas. Four members of the
public, one developer representative, one member of the Ward 6
Council staff and one Department of Planning staff member were in
attendance.
09/19/17
A short presentation was given by the applicants representative. The
representative explained the reason for filing each application, using
displays of the proposed subdivision. A Waiver request has recently
been added to allow no landscape buffer along the CC 215 Beltway,
as it will be difficult for the HOA to maintain.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
Per the current Summerlin Design Standards, animated signs are prohibited. Animated
signs are defined by Title 19 as
Any sign that uses any of the following: animation or movement; mechanical
devices such as spinning, rotating, revolving or oscillating mechanical or structural
components; flashing, sequential or oscillating lights; lighting that moves from bright
to dim and back to bright; or other similar continuously automated methods or
dynamic devices, such as steam, fog, misting, or change of lighting or message, to
depict action or create a special effect or alternating scene that results in
movement, the appearance of movement, or the changing of sign image or
message. The term includes any sign or portion thereof with characters, letters or
illustrations, that can be changed or rearranged manually or electronically without
altering the face or the surface of the sign. The term does not include a sign on
which the only copy that changes is the electronic indication of time, temperature,
or both.
SS
SCD-71492 [PRJ-71357]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed sign is freestanding, 28 feet in height and contains two LED-illuminated
sign faces of 100 square feet each; both are capable of animation. An existing
animated freestanding sign at the southeastern corner of the property was previously
issued a valid permit for an LED display with Summerlin approval and may therefore
continue pursuant to Section IV of the Summerlin Development Standards without
benefit of a Major Deviation.
The Summerlin Non-Residential Design Committee has reviewed the proposed sign
and approved it with the understanding that it deviates from the Summerlin
Development Standards with regard to the animation, finding that a deviation is
acceptable because the animated sign is in support of a casino/resort business.
New signs within the city of Las Vegas are subject to certain restrictions regarding
animation found in LVMC Title 19.08.120(B). For example, signs must consist of static
images having a minimum duration of six seconds per message, the transition time
between messages must be no more than two seconds and the brightness shall not
exceed 300 nits. No videos are permitted. Although the subject property is location
within Summerlin, a condition of approval will require similar standards to be applied to
this sign to ensure the safety and general welfare of the public.
FINDINGS (SCD-71492)
Staff recommends that the Major Deviation to allow animation on the sign be approved,
as the sign is endorsed by the Summerlin Non-Residential Design Review Committee,
is appropriate in this location along Summerlin Parkway and does not negatively impact
the surrounding properties. A condition of approval has been added requiring this sign
to conform to Title 19 requirements regarding animated signs containing a changeable
electronic message.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Pursuant to the Summerlin Development Standards, signs are subject to general criteria
pertaining to location, illumination, materials and design. Specific signs are reviewed by
Summerlin prior to issuance of permits. Animated signs are prohibited by the
Summerlin Development Standards. The Summerlin Non-Residential Design Review
Committee has reviewed the proposed freestanding sign and authorized a deviation of
this standard.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to keep an existing six-foot tall chain-link fence
which surrounds the vacant property located on the northeast corner of Monte Cristo
Way and Craig Road.
ISSUES
Per Title 19.06.040.H.4.a, chain link or open wire fencing is prohibited unless
approved as part of an overall development agreement.
Per Title 19.06.050, the maximum height for a fence in the front yard setback
area is five feet. The applicant requests to keep the existing fence at six feet.
Staff supports this request.
This application is a result of Code Enforcement Case #177910.
ANALYSIS
The subject undeveloped site is approximately 17,000 square-feet and adjacent to a pet
cemetery on property to the east which is under Clark County jurisdiction. The
Department of Code Enforcement opened Case #177910 on 04/26/17 for the subject
unpermitted fence. Pursuant to Title 19, fences located within the U (Undeveloped)
zoning district are allowed a maximum height of five feet in the front yard setback area.
The existing fence is six feet. The subject fence is also made of chain link material
which is listed as a prohibited material unless approved as part of an overall
development agreement. Per the submitted justification letter, the subject undeveloped
lot is used as a rock barrier for dust control. The site is adjacent to a school bus drop
off and rock throwing by school children was a nuisance. The fence was constructed as
a means to prevent school children from entering and disturbing the site.
Per the applicant, there are no future plans for development of the subject site. While
the subject fence does not meet the height requirement in the front yard setback area
and is made of a prohibited material, the fence is needed as a safety barrier; therefore,
staff recommends approval of the Variance request subject to conditions. If the
Variance is denied, the subject fence will have to be removed.

Staff finds that sufficient evidence has been provided to allow the applicant to keep the
existing fence, as constructed, in order to safely secure the subject site. Therefore, it is
concluded that the applicants request is not preferential in nature, and it is thereby
within the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The site is located within the Central Casino Core District of the Downtown Centennial
Plan Overlay District. As this is a change of use and there are no exterior changes to
the existing building, no Site Development Plan Review is required pursuant to the
Downtown Centennial Plan.
The subject tenant space was previously entitled for both Tavern-Limited Establishment
and Night Club uses. The previous special use permits expired 03/04/14, as no
extensions of time were approved after the licenses had expired 180 days earlier.
Both the Tavern-Limited Establishment and Night Club uses are permitted in the C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
SS
SUP-71104 and SUP-71105 [PRJ-70952]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
There are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use.
The Night Club use is defined per Title 19.18 as the following:
A. An establishment, other than a teen dance center, where its primary operations are
that of preparing and serving alcoholic beverages for immediate on-premises
consumption and the provision of live entertainment, generally operated primarily in
the late evening/early morning hours. An establishment shall be considered a
nightclub if it exhibits the following characteristics;
1. Live entertainment is provided in an area that exceeds fifty square feet, and the
following spaces shall be included in the calculation of such area: stage space,
disc jockey space, dance floor(s), and any space primarily dedicated to the
viewing of the live entertainment provided by the licensee; and
2. Its primary operating hours are generally between the hours of nine p.m. and
five a.m. the following day, or afterhours between four a.m. and 10 a.m on the
same day.
B. For purposes of this description, live entertainment includes live music (with or
without dancing), recorded or digital music played for patrons by a live disc jockey
or electronic device, or karaoke entertainment or other stage shows, such as a
magician, comedian other similar type of performance artist.
The proposed use meets the definition, as the primary operation of the establishment
includes sales of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption and provision of live
entertainment in nine of the existing theaters totaling 30,390 square feet. Hours of
operation are generally between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. the following day,
with day-to-day operations between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include the following:
*1. Because the primary operations of a nightclub are that of preparing and serving
alcoholic beverages for immediate on-premises consumption and the provision of
live entertainment, the City Council declares that the public health, safety and
general welfare of the City are best promoted and protected by generally requiring a
minimum separation between a nightclub and other uses that should be protected
from the impacts associated with a nightclub. Therefore, except as otherwise
provided below, no nightclub may be located within 1500 feet of a church,
synagogue, school, child care facility licensed for more than 12 children or City
park.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as it is proposed to be located
1,220 feet from a church and 1,340 feet from a school.
SS
SUP-71104 and SUP-71105 [PRJ-70952]
Staff Report Page Three
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
*2. A person that desires to operate a nightclub shall obtain both a nightclub land use
entitlement as well as any necessary land use entitlement for the service of alcohol
for on-premises consumption. A person lawfully operating a nightclub as defined by
this section and LVMC 6.39, prior to December 1, 2014, is not required to obtain a
special use permit for the continued operation of such nightclub use. Real property
entitled for a nightclub pursuant to this Code shall have no specific spacing
requirements between other nightclubs. However, as the nightclub entitlement is a
separate and distinct from any land use entitlement permitting the service of alcohol
for on-premises consumption, this provision shall not act to waive or otherwise
diminish the specific spacing requirements between uses entitled for the service of
alcohol for on-premise consumption.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant has requested a Special
Use Permit for a Tavern-Limited Establishment in conjunction with the Night Club
use.
Distance separation has been measured from the property line of Neonopolis
(above ground airspace) to a school and two churches.
*4. For the purpose of Requirement 2, and for that purpose only:
a. The property line of a protected use refers to the property line of a fee interest
parcel that has been created by an approved and recorded parcel map or
subdivision map, and does not include the property line of a leasehold parcel;
and
b. The property line of a nightclub refers to:
i. The property line of a parcel that has been created by an approved and
recorded parcel map or commercial subdivision map; or
ii. The property line of a parcel that is located within an approved and
recorded commercial subdivision and that has been created by a record of
survey or legal description, if:
SS

Staff Report Page Four
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
A. Using the property line of that parcel for the purpose of measuring the
distance separation referred to in Requirement 1 would qualify the
parcel under the distance separation requirement;
B. The proposed nightclub will have direct access (both ingress and
egress) from a street having a minimum right-of-way width of 100 feet.
The required access may be shared with a larger development but
must be located within the property lines of the parcel on which the
proposed nightclub will be located;
C. All parking spaces required by this Section 19.12.070 for the nightclub
will be located on the same parcel as the use; and
D. The owners of all parcels within the commercial subdivision, including
the owner of the nightclub parcel, sign an agreement, satisfactory to
the City Attorney, that provides for perpetual, reciprocal cross-access,
ingress and egress throughout the commercial subdivision.
The property line of the Night Club use is defined by the boundary of Lot 1 of the
subdivision map recorded in Book 87, Page 35 of Plats.
5. The distance separation requirement set forth in Requirement 1 does not apply to
an establishment which has a non-restricted gaming license in connection with a
hotel having 200 or more guest rooms on or before July 1, 1992, or in connection
with a resort hotel having in excess of 200 guest rooms after July 1, 1992.
This requirement does not apply, as neither exemption criterion applies to the
proposed establishment.

7. The use shall conform to, and is subject to, the provisions of LVMC Chapter 6.50.
*8. No nightclub may be located within 500 feet of any single-family dwelling unless:
a. The parcel on which the nightclub will be located is adjacent to Las Vegas
Boulevard between Charleston Boulevard and Fremont Street;
b. The parcel has a minimum net site area of 0.25 acres; and
c. The nightclub use will be located within a building that has a minimum of 5000
square feet of gross floor area dedicated to the use.
Although Conditions b. and c. are met by the proposal, the proposed use meets this
requirement, as there are no single-family residential dwellings within 500 feet of
the proposed use, as measured pursuant to Requirement 4.
*9. Alcohol service is only permitted in conjunction with the following Title 6 alcoholic
beverage licenses: Beer and Wine Room, Tavern, Tavern-Limited and Urban
Lounge.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant intends to apply for a
tavern-limited license.
Title 19.12 requires a Night Club use to be at least 1,500 feet from a church,
synagogue, school, child care facility licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
The waivers being requested are to allow 1,220 feet from a church and 1,340 feet from
a school where 1,500 feet is required. Title 19.12 allows waivers of the distance
separation requirements for locations within the Downtown Casino Overlay District.
Staff recommends that both waivers be approved, as the use will be located on the third
floor within a large retail and entertainment complex along the Pedestrian Mall, where
such uses are encouraged. Furthermore, the protected uses are located several blocks
away from the proposed Night Club and shielded by intervening buildings and streets.
There will be minimal, if any, impact to the protected uses.
Projects located within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan area are not subject
to the automatic application of parking requirements. The proposed use normally
requires 1,057 parking spaces, while this facility provides 680 spaces in a two-level
subterranean parking garage. In addition, the site is located on a major mass transit
route and there are other available parking facilities in the immediate vicinity.

The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for these two uses were reviewed for
compliance and approved as Special Use Permits (SUP-55187 and SUP-55190). This
request would amend Requirement 9 in the following manner:
9. Signage for the establishment shall be limited to one wall sign per street
frontage, the face of the sign not to exceed thirty square feet in area and not to
exceed two feet in height. Such a sign shall be internally illuminated, with the use
of neon prohibited.
The subject property is located in the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan Industrial
Corridor District, which requires conformance to Title 19.08 and 19.14 sign standards,
and Title 19.12 requirements pertaining to the Marijuana Dispensary and Production
Facility use, which limits signage area to 30 square feet in area and not exceed two feet
in height per street frontage. This is a change of the original sign design that was
previously approved. As depicted on the submitted elevations, the proposed signage
conforms to all Title 19.08 and 19.14 sign standards.

connects to the 16,274 Marijuana Dispensary through a fire riser/breakroom on the west
perimeter of the building.
This parcel is currently served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) for both
fire and domestic, but neither service has the required backflow prevention per NAC
445A.67195. Civil plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for backflow retrofit of both
services.
The subject site complies with all minimum distance requirements as set forth by Title
19.12, and therefore the use can be conducted in a compatible and harmonious manner
with the existing surrounding land uses and future land uses as projected by the
General Plan. Staff supports this request as the M (Industrial) zoning district is intended
to accommodate the most intense uses. As such, staff recommends approval of the
proposed use with standard conditions. If denied, no expansion will be allowed to the
proposed Marijuana Dispensary and Marijuana Production Facility established at this
site, nor will the signage be amended.
FINDINGS (SUP-71540)
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 subject site complies with all minimum distance requirements as set forth by
Title 19.12 and therefore the use can be conducted in a compatible and
harmonious manner with the existing surrounding land uses and future 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 contains an existing 18,600 square-foot commercial building. This site
contains adequate parking for all uses. The subject site is located within the
Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District, where Title 19.12 parking
requirements are not automatically applied, although additional parking is

11. The use may not be located under the same roof as another use, except a
marijuana cultivation facility, marijuana dispensary or marijuana production
facility.
The use may not be located under the same roof as another use, except a
marijuana cultivation facility, marijuana dispensary or marijuana production
facility. There are no other land uses located under the same roof as the
proposed Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility use.
The proposed use would occupy an existing 17,000 square-foot standalone building,
which is located on a developed commercial property at 2310 Western Avenue. The
subject site provides zero parking spaces where 17 parking spaces are required and
does not conform to Title 19.12 parking requirements for the marijuana cultivation
facility use. However, the subject site is located within the Las Vegas Downtown
Centennial Plan Industrial Corridor District where properties are not subject to the
automatic application of parking requirements. Staff has determined that the immediate
surrounding area provides ample on street parking to support the use. Other than the
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements found within Title 19.12, there are no
special development requirements pertaining to the site.
This parcel is currently served but does not have the required backflow prevention per
NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to the Las Vegas
Valley Water District (LVVWD) for domestic meter sizing, fire flow availability and
backflow retrofit.
The subject site complies with all minimum distance requirements as set forth by Title
19.12, and therefore the use can be conducted in a compatible and harmonious manner
with the existing surrounding land uses and future land uses as projected by the
General Plan. As such, staff recommends approval of the proposed use with standard
conditions. If denied, no Marijuana Cultivation Facility would be permitted to be
established at this site.
FINDINGS (SUP-71542)
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:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to establish a Restaurant with Alcohol use at 440 South
Rampart Boulevard, Suite #180 located within an existing mixed-use development in
Tivoli Village. The proposed establishment will occupy 4,623 square feet of interior
space in addition to 2,771 square feet of outdoor patio space.
ISSUES
The Restaurant with Alcohol use is permitted in the C-2 (General Commercial)
zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
A distance separation Waiver is required to allow the Restaurant with Alcohol use
141 feet from a City park where 400 feet is the minimum required. Staff supports the
Waiver for distance separation as the proposed Restaurant with Alcohol use has no
pedestrian access to the existing park.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a Restaurant with Alcohol use for an existing
restaurant located in an existing mixed-use development at 440 South Rampart
Boulevard, Suite #180. The subject site is located with the C-2 (General Commercial)
zoning district. The existing restaurant is 4,573 square feet in size with a 2,057 square-
foot outdoor seating area and has seating for 193 people. The Restaurant with Alcohol
use will be ancillary to the existing restaurant located in the subject tenant space.
A Restaurant with Alcohol use is described in Tile 19.12 as: A restaurant and bar
operation with alcoholic beverage sales in which:
1. The actual seating available at all times within the dining area will
accommodate at least 100 persons. For purposes of this requirement, the
dining area does not include bar stool seating at the bar or lounge seating,
but may include table or booth seating within the bar area and table seating
within a patio area;

3. Full-course meals are available during all hours the bar area is open to the
public;
4. A cook and food server, other than a bartender, are available at all times the
bar area is open to the public; and
5. The restaurant operation is the principal portion of the business.
The proposed use does meet this requirement, as the proposed site is located
141 feet away of from a City park. The applicant has requested a Waiver to this
distance separation requirement.

property line of the existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold
or occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located, without
regard to intervening obstacles.
Not applicable, the subject site is not located on a parcel of at least 80 acres of
size, the assessor list the subject property at 28.43 acres.
The proposed site is located 141 feet away of a City park where 400 feet is
required, which represents a 65% reduction from code requirements. In addition,
the subject property is separated from the existing City park and provides no
pedestrian access. Staff has determined that since there is no pedestrian access
there is ample separation from the existing City park.
This condition is not applicable as the subject site is not located within a
establishment which has a non-restricted gaming license in connection with a
hotel having 200 or more guest rooms.
This condition is not applicable; the proposed use is not located in a C-V (Civic)
zoning district.
* 7. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions
of LVMC Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will be subject to all business licensing requirements outlined
in LVMC Chapter 6.50 if approved.
The proposed use is located within 141 feet of City park to the northeast where a 400-
foot minimum distance separation is required. The proposed location of this use fails to

comply with the minimum distance separation requirements for a Special Use Permit.
The requested Waiver to allow a 141-foot distance separation from a City park
represents a 65% reduction from the required 400-foot separation mandated by Title 19.
Staff has determined that since there is no reasonable means of access from the City
park to the Mixed-Use development, there is ample separation from the existing City
park. Staff has added a condition of approval requiring the business conform to all
provisions of LVMC Chapter 6.50 with regards to running a restaurant with alcohol
license. It has been determined that the proposed Restaurant with Alcohol use can be
conducted in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding land uses, therefore,
staff is recommending approval, as the use is considered appropriate for the
surrounding area.
FINDINGS (SUP-71397)
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 subject suite was previously approved to operate as a Tavern and Restaurant
with Alcohol use and is currently operating as a restaurant. The proposed
Restaurant with Alcohol use will be ancillary to the existing restaurant use at the
subject site. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses and
can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious with surrounding land uses.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
Access to the site will not change. Vehicles may enter the property from Rampart
Boulevard a 100-foot Primary Arterial; and Alta Drive a 80-foot Major Collector, as
classified by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.
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.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for an Alternative Parking Standard to allow 129 parking spaces where
178 are required for an existing Office, Other Than Listed, and the expansion of an
existing Cleaners, Commercial/Industrial use at 240, 250 and 260 Spectrum Boulevard.
ISSUES
A Special Use Permit is required for an Alternative Parking Standard to allow 129
parking spaces where a minimum of 178 parking spaces is required. Staff
supports this request.
ANALYSIS
Universal Laundry, located at 240 Spectrum Boulevard, has applied for a business
license to expand their operations to the adjacent building located at 260 Spectrum
Boulevard. The proposed expansion of the Cleaners, Commercial/Industrial facility does
not meet the minimum parking requirements set forth by Title 19.12, which requires one
parking space for every 500 square feet of floor area. The applicant is requesting an
Alternative Parking Standard to remedy the parking deficiency.
As stated in the applicants justification letter, the new facility utilizes state-of-the-art
laundry equipment and will require 60 percent less staff than the current operations
located at 240 Spectrum Boulevard.
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 Cleaners, Commercial/Industrial facility located at 240
Spectrum Boulevard. These operations have a maximum of 52 employees per shift,
with a one-hour break in between shifts to prevent an overlap. As stated by the engineer
in the analysis, during peak shift hours 54 parking stalls were in use. This count
included the employees present for AT&T (Office Other Than Listed).
The proposed expansion would add 41 employees per shift. The engineer projects that
the maximum number of parking stalls required during any shift would be 93. The
applicant is proposing 129 parking spaces, which exceeds the engineers projection by
36.
NE
SUP-71442 [PRJ-71439]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The applicant has substantiated this request through a parking study performed by a
Nevada licensed Professional Engineer which has demonstrated that 129 parking
spaces is sufficient for both the existing Office, Other Than Listed (AT&T) and the
proposed expansion of the Cleaners, Commercial/Industrial (Universal Laundry) uses;
therefore, staff recommends approval of the application. If denied, the existing
Cleaners, Commercial/Industrial use would not be able to expand its operations.
FINDINGS (SUP-71442)
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.
Site access is provided by Spectrum Boulevard, an 80-foot wide local street. This
is adequate in size to meet the requirements 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 Special Use
Permit is subject to review if parking becomes insufficient.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is petitioning to vacate City of Las Vegas public sewer easements located
on property within Clark County jurisdiction. The subject site is generally located at the
southwest corner of Durango Drive and Hickman Avenue.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in Unincorporated Clark County but sanitary sewer service is
provided by the City of Las Vegas. The applicant requests to vacate three public sewer
easements that are no longer required as the site is being reconfigured. Per the
submitted justification letter, the site will be developed into a 22-lot single family
residential subdivision. As no City of Las Vegas right-of-way is proposed to be vacated,
and thus no franchise rights are involved, it is not necessary to send this request to the
utility companies and franchise holders, nor wait for their responses.
FINDINGS (VAC-71475)
Staff has no objection to the vacation of these public sewer easements, as the
easements are no longer needed in their current configuration; therefore, staff
recommends approval with conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ANALYSIS
The subject site will be developed as a single family attached residential subdivision.
Final Map (FMP-67758) was recorded on 04/19/17 to allow the Santa Rosa Townhomes
(Unit 1) Subdivision. The two emergency vehicle easements proposed to be vacated
are temporary cul-de-sacs at the end of temporary stub streets. These temporary stub
streets are the result of phasing the project. The purpose of this request is to vacate
Emergency Vehicle Easements concurrent with the next phase of the project which will
complete the streets.
FINDINGS (VAC-71567)
Staff has no objection to the vacation of these emergency vehicle easements, as the
easements are no longer needed in their current configuration; therefore, staff
recommends approval with conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant has proposed 20-lot single family residential development on 11.95 acres
at the northeast corner of Trails End Avenue and Homestead Road.
ISSUES
A General Plan Amendment has been requested from DR (Desert Rural Density
Residential) to R (Rural Density Residential). Staff does not request this request.
Rezoning from R-E (Residence Estates) to R-D (Single Family Residential-
Restricted) is also requested. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver has been requested to allow no external streetlights. Staff does not
support this request.
A second Waiver has been requested to allow internal private streets behind a gate
to not be developed to public street standards, including no streetlights. Staff does
not support this request.
Variances have been requested to allow a 1.0 street connectivity where 1.3 is
required; no amenity zones including sidewalks and buffer strips; no curbs or gutters
along Trail End Avenue, Homestead Road, and Moccasin Road; and for Trails End
Avenue to be 37 feet in width where 47 feet is required. Staff does not support these
multiple Variance requests.
A request for a Tentative Map for a 20-lot single family residential subdivision. Due
to the Waivers and Variances requested for the site, staff does not support this
request.
ANALYSIS
This is a request to amend the General Plan land use designation on a 11.95-acre
portion of the Centennial Hills Sector Plan located at the northeast corner of Trails End
Avenue and Homestead Road from DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) to R (Rural
Density Residential) and to Rezone the subject 11.95-acre site from R-E (Residence
Estates) to R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted).

The subject sites are currently designated DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) which
allows densities up to 2.49 units per acre. To the west of the subject sites is a five-acre
parcel that is included in Planning Area A2 of the Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Las Vegas and County of Clark adopted on December 21, 2016. This agreement
mandates areas identified as Planning Area A1 and A2 must remain residential and
designated at a density of no greater than 2.0 Units per Gross Acre on the Parties
respective comprehensive plans.
East of the subject sites is a residential development zoned R-PD2 (Residential Planned
Development 2 Units Per Acre), with single family, detached homes. South of the subject
sites are undeveloped lots zoned R-E (Residence Estates), which also allows a density no
less than two residential units per acre. Designating the subject sites R (Rural Density
Residential) that would allow a density up to 3.59 units per acre is not compatible with the
existing surrounding area that allows a maximum density of two units per acre. Staff does
not support the General Plan Amendment or the Rezoning application as the density
proposed would create an island of higher density residential amongst lower density
development.
Waivers
When a site is developed in the City of Las Vegas, it is customary to require the
installation of all incomplete improvements surrounding the site so they match what
exists in the surrounding area. Currently, streetlights exist on the south side of
Moccasin Road and along Durango Drive immediately east of this site. The applicant is
requesting a Waiver to allow no external streetlights for the proposed 20-lot residential
subdivision. As stated by the applicant in the justification letter, this request enables the
area to maintain a rural feel. Additionally, the applicant has proposed no internal
streetlights for the neighborhood itself, and for the private neighborhood streets (behind
the gate) to not be developed to public street standards by only installing a standard L
curb on both sides of the street. No sidewalk would be installed within the
neighborhood.
As development encroaches into rural areas of the City, and the population intensifies,
residential neighborhoods developed without the required amenities such as streetlights
and sidewalks do not support the Citys General Plan to provide a safe and accessible
environment for the residents. Staff does not support this request.

The purpose of Title 19.04 Complete Streets Standards is to 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.
Amenity Zones:
Moccasin Road:
The applicant has proposed to dedicate and design for half street improvements, but not
construct them. The only portion of Moccasin to be installed would occur to just west of the
entrance of the development. The applicant would then move the existing barricades west
of the main entry to the proposed residential development, continuing to block Moccasin
Road to through traffic. This proposal leaves the majority of Moccasin Road undeveloped,
with the applicants portion only including pavement, and no streetlights, landscape buffer,
curb, gutter, and sidewalk. .
Homestead Road:
Homestead Road has a current dedicated right-of-way width of 60 feet. The applicant is
proposing to pave 32 feet of right-of-way, 16 feet on each side of the centerline, with no
amenity zone that is required to include streetlights, landscape buffer, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk.

manner to protect City roadways. In addition, City standards require sidewalk on both
sides of all public streets, even if such sidewalks are allowed to be deferred in support of a
current rural character. Appropriate right-of-way should be preserved for the future
installation of such sidewalk, should it ever become desired in the future; therefore staff is
recommending denial of the Variance and Waiver requests.
Tentative Map
The proposed site consists of a 7.22 acre parcel adjacent to the southeast corner of
Moccasin Road and Homestead Road, with a second 4.73 lot directly adjacent to the
south. The northern 7.22 acre parcel contains an approximately 300-foot wide Nevada
Energy Easement that is not able to be developed as part of the proposed overall single
family residential subdivision. If approved, this portion of the site will be an undeveloped
(natural desert) common lot with only an access drive from Moccasin Road to the
neighborhood for the residents.
The applicant has proposed a 20-lot single family subdivision with lot sizes that will
gross anywhere from 14,000 square feet to a little over 22,000 square feet. The net
square footage of these lots after the private streets are constructed ranges from 11,000
square feet to a little over 18,000 square feet. No building or floor plans have been
submitted as part of this application, but if approved, the R-D (Single Family
Residential-Restricted) requires a 25-foot front yard setback, a five-foot side yard
setback (15-foot corner side yard setback), and a 30-foot rear yard setback. Future
development would be required to fit within this building envelop.
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. An
estimated 2-3-foot retaining wall 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. An estimated 2-
foot retaining wall is shown on the north property line and no retaining wall is shown on
the south property line.
If approved, this project will add approximately 190 trips per day on Trails End Avenue,
Homestead Road, Log Cabin Way, and Durango Drive. Currently, Homestead is
approximately three percent of capacity, Log Cabin is approximately 10 percent of
capacity, and Durango Drive is approximately nine percent of capacity. With this project,
Homestead Road is expected to be at approximately five percent of capacity, Log Cabin

Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area approximately 20
additional cars an hour, or about one every three minutes.
Although the applicant has proposed a 20-lot single family residential subdivision with an
approximate density of 1.66 units per acre, once the General Plan is amended and the
sites rezoned, a new Tentative Map could be requested to allow up to 41 units. These
requests create an island of higher density residential amongst lower density residential
development; therefore, staff is recommending denial of all request.
FINDINGS (GPA-69220)
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 R (Rural Density Residential) General Plan Designation allows the R-E
(Residence Estates), the proposed R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted),
and the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning districts. The existing
surrounding land uses consist of undeveloped lots and single-family, detached
dwelling units zoned either R-E (Residence Estates) or R-PD2 (Residential

approximately one-half acre, or 20,000 square feet. The R-D (Single Family
Residential-Restricted) requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, and
the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district has a minimum lot size of
6,500 square feet. This is half to one-third of the minimum lot sizes surrounding
the subject sites and is not compatible.

Neighborhood Meeting
There is concern in regards to home values. If the subject sites
are developed to the lot minimums with small homes, the
surrounding properties value would drop.
Questions were raised as to whether or not horses could be
kept on property zoned R-D. The R-D zoning district requires
the minimum lot size to be 18,000 square feet for a horse. Staff
informed the neighbors that it is possible to develop a horse
friendly neighborhood.
Questions were also raised in regards to half street
improvements and how that would affect the roads currently not
improved, and those roadways within the County.
Representatives from Clark County District B indicated they
would look into the matter further.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment from DR (Desert Rural Density
Residential) to SC (Service Commercial), a Rezoning from R-E (Residence Estates) to
C-1 (Limited Commercial) and a Site Development Plan Review for an office shell
building. The subject site is located at 4801 Ricky Road.
ISSUES
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning does not adhere to the intent
of the RP-O (Rural Preservation Overlay) District and the Centennial Hills Sector
Plan.
A Waiver is required to allow a 10-foot landscape buffer along the north property line
where 15 feet is required.
Exceptions of Title 19.08 are required in order to allow a decrease in landscaping
requirements.
ANALYSIS
In addition to the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning, the applicant has
submitted a Site Development Plan Review request to allow a 6,032 square-foot office
shell building. Contingent upon the approval of the associated General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning, the proposed development is subject to Title 19.08
development standards for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The submitted
elevations, date stamped on 08/22/17, depict a 15-foot tall building with a pitched roof.
CS
GPA-69192, ZON-69193 and SDR-71490 [PRJ-69087]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The exterior faade is proposed to be a combination of palo verde stone and apache
white stucco. The submitted site plan depicts an acceptable total of 26 parking spaces
and one loading space. The parking analysis is based on an Office, Other Than Listed
land use. If the proposed building changes to another use allowed in the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district, it would have to meet the minimum required parking
spaces per Title 19.08 and 19.12.
The submitted landscape plan fails to meet several minimum Title 19 requirements. Per
Title 19.08.040, four 5-gallon shrubs shall be planted for every required tree in the
landscape buffers. The applicant has proposed a total of 93 shrubs where 124 are
required. Per Title 19.08.110, landscape islands are required at the end of each row of
parking spaces and one tree is required to be planted for every six uncovered parking
spaces. Exceptions are needed to allow a reduction in perimeter landscaping, no
parking lot landscape islands and to allow only one parking lot tree where five are
required. Per Title 19.08.070, a minimum landscape buffer of 15 feet is required for lot
lines adjacent to a right-of-way. A Waiver is needed to allow a proposed 10-foot
landscape buffer along the north property line where 15 feet is required. The primary
tree species utilized for landscaping are the 24-inch box Mondel Pine Trees and 24-inch
box Aleppo Pine Trees, which are consistent with the trees that are on the Southern
Nevada Regional Plan Coalition Regional Plant List.
This project was routed to various agencies for comment. The City of Las Vegas Public
Works Traffic Department submitted the following comment, This project will add
approximately 67 trips per day on Ricky Rd., Decatur Blvd. and Cheyenne Ave.
Currently, Decatur is at about 57 percent of capacity and Cheyenne is at about 60
percent of capacity. With this project, Decatur and Cheyenne are expected to remain
unchanged. Counts are not available for Ricky in this area, but it is believed to be under
capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 9
additional cars, or about one every seven minutes. The Clark County Department of
Aviation submitted the following comment, The proposed development will exceed the
100:1 notice requirement for the North Las Vegas Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required
by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the proposed construction or alteration.
Conditions of approval have been added to ensure this requirement is met.
The subject site is located within the Centennial Hills Sector Plan Area. Under this plan,
the goal listed for Objective 2.8 (B) states, Achieve a compatible balance of land uses
that are standard throughout the Centennial Hills Sector by providing appropriate and
compatible locations for all land use categories. The proposed development does not
adhere to this goal as rezoning to the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would
allow for uses that are not compatible with the existing residential neighborhood. A
neighborhood meeting was held on 03/20/17, prior to the submitted Site Development
Plan Review proposal. At the time, the applicant discussed possible restaurant and tire

shop uses. The majority of the public present at that meeting were opposed to the
proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning without knowing the exact use of the
site.
The subject site is surrounded by residential uses and is located within a large-lot
residential development. While the applicant has proposed to develop the site with an
office shell building, the proposed land use designation and zoning district would allow
uses that are too intense for the surrounding adjacent uses; therefore, staff
recommends denial of the request. If approved, the petition is subject to conditions.
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.
CS

Staff Report Page Four
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
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)
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 no growth or development factors
that indicate the need for this request, as there are other more 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 107-foot wide
primary arterial and Ricky Road, a 60-foot wide minor collector street. Decatur
Boulevard is adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning
district.

FINDINGS (SDR-71490)
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 office shell building is not compatible with the adjacent primarily
large-lot, single-family dwelling residential neighborhood.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed development is not consistent with the RP-O (Rural Preservation
Overlay) and Centennial Hills Sector Plan which encourage the protection of the
existing rural characteristics of the subject site.
The subject site can be accessed from Decatur Boulevard, a 107-foot wide
primary arterial and Ricky Road, a 60-foot wide minor collector street. Decatur
Boulevard is adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning
district.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The design characteristics of the proposed building elevations are not unsightly or
obnoxious in appearance. However, the building is not compatible with the
existing residential development in the area.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.

RECOMMENDATIONS / COMMENTS
LOCATION: 138-12-710-092
COMMENTS:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or structure greater than
200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13
(a)(2)(i)). Such notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if any, the proposed
development will have upon navigable airspace, and allows the FAA to determine whether the
development requires obstruction marking or lighting.
The proposed development will exceed the 100:1 notice requirement for the North Las Vegas
Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the
proposed construction or alteration. The CCDOA requests that the City of Las Vegas impose
the conditions listed below for the project:
Applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or submit to the Clark
County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding Determination Statement
and request written concurrence from the Clark County Department of Aviation;
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure greater
than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460 airspace
determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a) constitute a
hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum flight altitudes
during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of Aviation), or (c) would
otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse impact on airport or aircraft
operations.
Applicant is advised that FAAs airspace determinations are dependent on petitions by
any interested party and the height that will not present a hazard as determined by the
FAA may change based on these comments.
Applicant is advised that the FAAs airspace determinations include expiration dates and
that the separate airspace determinations will be needed for construction cranes or other
temporary equipment.

are expected to remain unchanged. Counts are not available for Ricky in this area, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 9 additional cars, or about one every seven
minutes.
Note that this report assumes all traffic from this development uses all named streets.

** 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
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.
Rezoning (ZON-70762) would rezone the property from R-E (Residence Estates) to
R-1 (Single Family Residential).
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.
Vacation (VAC-70765) would vacate U.S. Government Patent Easements.
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.

October 10, 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.

Way at about 18 percent. Counts are not available for Dorrell Lane in this area,
but it is believed to be under capacity.
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.

Proposed Use
This project will add approximately 171 trips per day on Hualapai Wy., Dorell Ln. and Deer Springs Wy. Currently,
Hualapai is at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs is at about 17 percent of capacity. With this project, Hualapai
is expected to remain at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs to be at about 18 percent of capacity. Counts are
not available for Dorell in this area, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 18 additional cars, or about one every three
minutes.
Note that this report assumes all traffic from this development uses all named streets.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
All the work done that has created the need for the requested Variance was
completed without obtaining required building permits.
This request is the result of an open Code Enforcement case (#177847) for non-
permitted structural addition on the subject site within the front yard setback area.
The existing front porch/carport structure has an eight-foot front yard setback where
20 feet is required.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district. Per Title
19.06.070 this residential development has a minimum 20-foot front yard building
setback.
The subject property currently has an incomplete 650 square-foot one-story front
porch/carport addition on the southern perimeter of the principal dwelling which is
currently under construction. This resulted in a Code Enforcement case (#177847)
being opened on the subject property for non-permitted structural addition within the
front yard setback area.
During a routine site inspection conducted by staff it was noted that an existing front
yard porch/carport addition is currently attached to the eastern perimeter wall creating a
zero-foot side yard setback. Also, there is a metal storage structure attached to the
home in the rear yard, adjacent to the eastern perimeter wall creating a zero-foot side
yard setback. The applicant has indicated in the submitted justification letter that the
front yard porch/carport addition and metal storage structure located in the rear yard will
be moved to provide the required five-foot side yard setback, a condition has been
added to insure removal of these structures to the required five-foot setback. No unique
or extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Variance. As
such, the hardship is self-imposed and therefore, staff recommends denial of this
request.

Re: VAR-71322
A year or twa ago I did an addition to my home. I paid ptenty for the
permits and each step was approved by the city. How do we know the
structure on 5708 Heron Ave was put up n accordance with regutations.
I wanted to put up a carport and was totd that I could not as it would not
compty with city requirements.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 4000 San Joaquin Avenue.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements of the
conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is
required.
A Waiver has been requested to allow the use to be 235 feet from an existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support this
waiver request.
The applicant failed an inspection through the Department of Planning - Code
Enforcement Division on 05/23/17. The inspection must be approved prior to the
issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains four
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The Short-Term Residential Rental
definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I
or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and to be 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential Rental use; therefore, per
Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
CS
SUP-71214 [PRJ-71151]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 07/18/17, the applicant
meets this definition as they intend to rent out their single family dwelling on a short
term basis. Additionally, the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.
CS
SUP-71214 [PRJ-71151]
Staff Report Page Three
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement to allow the proposed
Short-Term Residential Rental to be 235 feet from the nearest existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support
the waiver request.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
CS
SUP-71214 [PRJ-71151]
Staff Report Page Four
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
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 235 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-71248)
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 is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed from San
Joaquin Avenue and Arenas Street, both 50-foot wide local streets, which will
provide adequate access for 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.
The approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
conditions of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
ensure it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.

5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use complies with all of the Special
Use Permit requirements listed in Title 19.12 with the exception of the distance
separation from a similar, existing use. The applicant has requested a waiver to
allow a 235-foot separation, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support
this waiver request.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 477-unit Mini-storage Facility located on the south side of
Charleston Boulevard, approximately 160 feet west of Tenaya Way.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The request is for a 477-unit Mini-storage Facility located on the south side of
Charleston Avenue, approximately 140 feet west of Tenaya Way. Adjacent land uses to
the site include a multifamily property to the west, an office complex to the east, and
large lot single family residential to the south. Across Charleston Boulevard to the north
is a low density single family residential subdivision.
The subject site is located within the Southwest Sector of the 2020 Master plan with an
O (Office) land use designation, which allows for small lot office conversions as a
transition along primary and secondary streets from residential and commercial uses,
and for large planned office areas. The proposed SC (Service Commercial) designation
is intended to allow low to medium intensity retail, office, or other commercial uses that
serve primarily local area patrons, and that do not include more intense general

Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site is currently zoned P-O (Professional Office), which allows for lower
intensity professional office uses. The request is to rezone the property to C-1 (Limited
Commercial), which is intended to provide for most retail shopping and personal
services. 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 proposed Service
Commercial category of the General Plan.
The Mini-Storage Facility use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. A Mini-Storage Facility is defined as
A facility with enclosed storage space, divided into separate compartments no larger
than 500 square feet in size, which is provided for use by individuals to store personal
items or by businesses to store materials for operation of a business establishment.
The proposed use meets the definition of a Mini-Storage Facility.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
2. All storage shall be within an enclosed building except for the storage of
recreational vehicles, which shall be completely screened from view from
surrounding properties and abutting streets
All storage will be within enclosed units, and no RV storage is being proposed
with this request.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
No prohibited activities are being proposed with this request, and the site will be
subject to periodic licensing inspections.
4. The rental of single unit trucks and small utility trailers shall be permitted as an
accessory use to a mini-storage facility, provided the business is conducted out
of the same office as that of the mini-storage facility. No trucks or trailers shall be
displayed in public view, and the combined total of all trucks and trailers stored
on site shall not exceed a ratio of 2 trucks or trailers for each 100 storage units.
Truck and utility trailer rental has not been proposed with this request.
5. Truck and trailer storage shall be screened from streets and adjacent properties.
Truck and trailer storage has not been proposed with this request.
6. When adjacent to a residential use, the exterior wall of the mini-storage shall be
constructed of decorative block.
The exterior of the mini-storage will be screened by existing block walls along the
west and south property lines.
The site plan indicates a 477-unit Mini-storage Facility consisting of one two-story
building at the center of the site, and two one-story buildings along the east and south
portions of the site. The site will receive access from Charleston Boulevard, and the on-
site circulation pattern dictates that customer traffic will be one-way in and one-way out
within the secure areas of the site. A zero-foot side-yard setback has been proposed
along the east property line where 10 feet is required. The applicant has requested a
Variance to provide relief from this requirement.
Eleven onsite parking spaces have been proposed where 15 are required, and all
parking has been located on the exterior side of the security gate where Title 19
requires them to be dispersed throughout the development. A Variance has been
requested to provide relief from Title 19 parking requirements.
Along Charleston Boulevard, the landscape plan depicts the required 15-foot landscape
buffer area planted with 24-inch box trees 20 feet on-center. Along the west property
line, a 20-foot landscape buffer is being provided where eight feet is required. Along a
portion of the west property line, the landscape buffer area has been reduced to eight
feet to accommodate for the installation of three parallel parking spaces. Along the
southern property line, a 20-foot landscape buffer area is being provided where eight

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
feet is required. Both the west and south property lines are planted with the required
24-inch box trees every 20 feet on-center. Along the east property line, a landscape
buffer area is not required for the area occupied by the proposed building if the related
setback Variance for a zero-foot setback is approved; however, the required landscape
buffer is still required along the northern portion of the east property line where the
building ends. The applicant has not included a buffer area in this area in order to
accommodate for additional parking, and a waiver is required to provide relief from this
requirement. Staff recommends denial of the waiver request. Tree species include
Shoestring Acacias, Chitalpas, and assorted shrubs and ground covers.
The building elevations indicate a two-story main storage building, and two smaller one-
story storage buildings. The two-story building has a maximum height of 35 feet at the
site office, with the remainder of the building having a flat 28-foot tall roofline. Both
single-story buildings are 14.8 feet in height. The external style of the buildings is
typical of a storage facility, with roll-up doors and siding consisting of metal panels
painted in desert earth tones.
The site is subject to Residential Adjacency standards along the south property line as it
is adjacent to R-E (Residence Estates) zoned parcels. Title 19.08 requires that
commercial uses maintain a 3 to 1 proximity slope when adjacent to parcels used or
zoned for single family residential. The 28-foot tall portion of the building nearest to the
south property line requires an 84-foot setback from the property line of the adjacent
protected use. The building is set back 120 feet, which is in compliance with the
setback requirement. The one-story buildings along the south and east property lines
are 15 feet tall or less, therefore proximity slope requirements do not apply. The
proposed trash enclosure is in excess of 50 feet from the nearest protected use, and is
in compliance with the required adjacency standards.
The floor plans indicate seven different sizes of storage units ranging in size from 5x5
to 10x30. There are a total 477 units with 59,650 square feet of total storage area. A
managers security residence is not being proposed with this development.
The existing land use designations and zoning districts in the immediate area are
predominantly intended for professional office and low to medium density residential.
An amendment of the land use plan to the SC (Service Commercial) designation and a
rezoning to C-1 (Limited Commercial) district would allow for more intense commercial
uses that are not compatible with the existing professional office and residential
development in the area. A rezoning to C-1 (Limited Commercial) would be spot zoning
considering that there are no similar commercial districts adjacent to the site, and the
proposed rezoning would create commercial island in an area that is predominantly
designated for professional office and residential. The preservation of the existing office

land use designation and zoning district would allow for the site to continue act as buffer
between the existing residential neighborhoods and more intense commercial uses.
The site is not physically suitable for the proposed use and is being overbuilt, which is
evidenced by the multiple Variances being requested. Staff recommends denial of all
submitted applications.
FINDINGS (GPA-71401)
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 surrounding area has land use designations that are predominantly intended
for residential or low intensity office uses. An amendment to the SC (Service
Commercial) designation would allow for the introduction of commercial land uses
that are not appropriate for this location.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (ZON-71402)
With the approval of the related General Plan Amendment (GPA-71401) to the SC
(Service Commercial) land use designation, the proposal will be in conformance
with the General Plan.
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 which would be allowed in the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district would not be compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning
districts. The surrounding area is predominately utilized for residential or
professional office, and the uses associated with the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district allow for more intense commercial uses which are not appropriate
for this location. The elimination of the existing P-O (Processional Office) also
removes a buffer between more intense commercial uses and the residential to
the west and south of the subject property.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

There was one representative from the applicant, two Council Ward 1
Liaisons, and three members of the public. Concerns were raised
regarding the following matters:
09/11/17
While not opposed to the project, one person felt that there was
an oversaturation of mini-storage facilities in the area.
Another person stated that the encroachment of this use into
residential areas was not appropriate, and felt that a mini
storage was not desirable for this location.
Field Check
08/31/17 A field check was conducted and the site is undeveloped.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a General Plan Amendment to the SC (Service Commercial) land use
designation, a Rezoning to C-1 (Limited Commercial) district, and a Special Use Permit
for a 56-foot tall Off-Premise Sign at the southwest corner of Martin L. King Boulevard
and Charleston Boulevard.
ISSUES
A General Plan Amendment is being requested to amend the General Plan from
O (Office) to SC (Service Commercial). The parcel at 1619 Charleston
Boulevard (APN 162-04-510-002) is currently zoned C-1, and an amendment to
the SC (Service Commercial) designation would be appropriate for this parcel
only. Staff recommends denial of the remainder of the request.
A Rezoning is being requested from O (Office) to C-1 (Limited Commercial).
Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Special Use Permit is required for the proposed 56-foot tall Off-Premise Sign
within the requested C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. Staff recommends
denial of the request.
A 56-foot Off-Premise Sign height is permitted due to the subject sites proximity
to an elevated roadway.
ANALYSIS
The rezoning request is from the O (Office) district to the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
district. The C-1 (Limited Commercial) 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

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site is within Study Area 1B of the Rancho Charleston Land Use Study &
Strategic Plan and is currently designated as O (Office). Area 1B was designated as O
(Office) to ensure that there was a consistent land use buffer between the commercial
uses north of Charleston Boulevard and the residential to the south. One of the goals
stated by the Strategic Plan is, to ensure that low-density residential land uses within
mature neighborhoods can exist in close proximity to higher density residential, mixed-
use, or non-residential land uses by mitigating adverse impacts where feasible.
Maintaining the O (Office) designation would permit continued compliance with the
stated goal.
The proposed SC (Service Commercial) land use designation and uses that are
permitted by the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district are not compatible with the
existing R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning of the neighborhood to the south of the
subject site. The requested General Plan Amendment and Rezoning requests are not
consistent with the intent of the Charleston/Rancho Land Use Study, the Las Vegas
2020 Master Plan, and is not compatible with the adjacent residential development to
the south. Staff recommends denial of both requests.
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for a proposed 56-foot tall Off-Premise
Sign. The Off-Premise Sign use is defined as Any sign advertising or announcing any
place, product, goods, services, idea or statement whose subject is available or located
at or on the lot, same site, or within the same Master Sign Plan area where the sign is
erected or placed. The proposed use meets the definition of an Off-Premise Sign.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
The proposed sign meets all minimum requirements for an Off-Premise Sign.

3. Except as provided in Paragraph (12) below, off premise signs are permitted in
the C-1, C-2, C-M and M Zoning Districts only.
With the approval of the proposed rezoning to the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
district, the Off-Premise Sign is permitted with approval of a Special Use
Permit.
4. No off-premise sign shall have a surface area greater than 672 square feet,
except that an embellishment of not to exceed five feet above the regular
rectangular surface of the sign may be added if the additional area contains no
more than 128 square feet. Any embellishment may include lettering, text,
numerals or images, but only to the extent that such items do not exceed fifty
percent of any linear side of the sign.
5. Off-premise signs which are within 660 feet of the right-of-way and which can
be read from Interstate 15, US 95 from the north city limits to the Oran K.
Gragson Highway, the Oran K. Gragson Highway or Interstate 515 shall be no
closer than 750 feet (measured along the highway frontage) to any other off-
premise sign along the same frontage. Each side of the highway shall be
considered a separate frontage. The sign and all other off-premise signs not
oriented toward the same highway shall be no closer than 300 feet in any
direction to any other off premise sign, wherever located, including an off
premise sign that is situated outside the corporate boundaries of the City.
7. Off-premise signs shall not be located closer than 10 feet to the right-of-way line
of a freeway nor closer than 50 feet to the intersection of the present or future
rights-of-way of any two public roads, streets or highways.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed sign will be located at least 10 feet to the right-of-way line of a
freeway nor closer than 50 feet to the intersection. As the Martin L. King
overpass does not intersect Charleston at grade, the intersection condition is
met.
The proposed sign is more than 660 feet from the nearest travel lane of
Summerlin Parkway.
9. No off-premise sign shall be allowed within 300 feet from the nearest property
line of a lot in the U zoning district or any R zoning district.
The nearest R zoned property is located 600 feet to the south of the proposed
Off-Premise Sign. There are no properties with a U zoning district in the
vicinity of the proposed sign.
The applicant is applying for a Special Use Permit to install a 56-foot tall Off-Premise
Sign at 1515 Charleston Boulevard. While 40 feet is typically the maximum height for
such signs, the subject parcel is adjacent to 26-foot tall elevated portion of Martin L.
King Boulevard. Title 19 states that signs adjacent to an elevated roadway may
increase sign height to 30 feet over the elevated roadway which would permit a sign
height of 56 feet.
The proposed Off-Premise Sign adheres to all minimum code requirements; however,
the proposed sign is located at a prominent downtown intersection that serves as a
gateway between the Las Vegas Medical District and the Downtown Core. This high
profile intersection is not an appropriate location for the installation of a billboard sign.
In addition, there is an existing residential neighborhood located to the south subject
site, and the proposal to install an LED Off-Premise Sign in close proximity to these low
density residential neighborhoods fails to comply with Objective 2.4 of the Las Vegas
2020 Master Plan, which is to ensure that the quality of existing residential
neighborhoods is maintained and enhanced.
The proposal will add visual clutter to an important gateway between the Medical
District and Downtown Las Vegas, and will infringe on the quality of the existing
residential development to the south. The proposed sign is not compatible or
appropriate for this location, and staff recommends denial of the request.

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 C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district are too intense
and are not compatible with the adjacent low intensity office and single-family
residential uses.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The proposed rezoning contradicts the intent of the Charleston/Rancho Land Use
Study and is not appropriate for the area.
The site receives access from Charleston Boulevard which is adequate in size to
meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
FINDINGS (SUP-71431)
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 Off-premise Sign will add visual clutter to an important gateway
between the Medical District and Downtown Las Vegas, and will infringe on the
existing residential development to the south. The proposed sign is not
compatible or appropriate with existing and future land uses as identified by the
2020 and the 2045 Downtown Master Plan.
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 proposed Off-Premise sign will not generate any additional site traffic.
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.
The proposed sign will be required to be reviewed for building code compliance
and therefore will not 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 sign meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.

Development Plan Review is in concept only. Specific design and construction
details relating to size, type and/or alignment of public improvements, including but
not limited to street, sewer and drainage improvements, shall be resolved prior to
submittal of a construction drawings. We note that the plan view shows a
conventional 60-foot street while the cross section depicts a narrow 60-foot street.
Due to existing improvements and the availability of existing rights-of-way, the
conventional 60-foot street must be used for this site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The applicant has proposed to amend the General Plan land use designation of the
property from R (Rural Density Residential) to ML (Medium-Low Density
Residential). Staff does not support this request.
The applicant has proposed to rezone the property from U (Undeveloped) [R (Rural
Density Residential)] to R-CL (Residential Compact-Lot). Staff does not support this
request.
A Variance has been requested to allow an interior street to terminate in a dead-end
stub instead of a circular cul-de-sac. Staff does not support this request.
A 19-lot Tentative Map request has been proposed for the subject site. Staff does
not support this request.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Southwest Sector of the 2020 Master plan with an
R (Rural Density Residential) land use designation, which allows for a semi-rural
environment with a maximum density of 3.59 units per acre. The proposed ML (Medium
Low Density Residential) designation is intended to allow single-family detached homes,
including compact lots and zero lot lines, mobile home parks and two-family dwellings
with a maximum density of 8.49 units per acre.
The subject site is currently zoned U (Undeveloped), which is an interim zoning district
that can either be utilized as a holdover zoning district, or developed with single-family
residential with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The request is to rezone the

The submitted plan depicts 19 lots with a minimum lot size of 3,712, and a maximum lot
size of 4,095 square feet, which results in an overall density of 7.63 units per acre. The
subdivision receives access from both Apricot and Roberta Lanes. The residential units
facing west along Roberta Lane will have direct driveway access to the street. The
subdivision is served by internal 47-foot wide public streets, which include sidewalks
and one tree per lot as required for narrow lot residential streets. The site has a
connectively ratio of 1.50 were 1.30 is the minimum required, and the plans indicate
perimeter, interior, and retaining wall heights within the maximums allowed by Title 19.
This project will add approximately 181 trips per day on Roberta Lane, Apricot Lane,
Decatur Boulevard, and Smoke Ranch Road. Currently, Decatur Boulevard is at about
59 percent of capacity and Smoke Ranch is at about 39 percent of capacity. With this
project, these capacities are expected to remain unchanged. Counts are not available
for Roberta Lane or Apricot Lane in this area, but they are believed to be under
capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 19
additional cars, or about one every three minutes.
Apricot and Roberta Lanes are both 60-foot wide minor collector streets, which exempts
the site from the standard residential perimeter landscaping requirements. The plan
indicates a six-foot perimeter buffer area located along the entirety of the north property
line, and along a portion of the west property line, which exceeds the minimum required
for the site. The perimeter landscape areas are planted with palm trees, and no height
was specified on the plan. All perimeter landscaping is within one of the three common
lots on the site. Interior to the site, 24-inch box African Sumac shade trees have been
included at a ratio of one tree per lot as required by Title 19.04.
The existing land use designations and zoning districts in the immediate area are
predominantly intended for either rural or low density residential. An amendment of the
land use plan to the ML (Medium Low Density Residential) designation would allow for a
higher density that is not compatible with the existing rural and low density residential
development nature of the area. The allowable lot sizes permitted by the R-CL

(Residential Compact Lot) will not be consistent or compatible with the surrounding
development. In addition, a Variance is required as the site is designed with a dead-
end stub instead of a circular cul-de-sac as required by Title 19.04. Staff recommends
denial of all requests.
Comments received from the Clark County Department of Aviation included the
following:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any
building or structure greater than 200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will
exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000 feet from the nearest point of
any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13 (a)(2)(i)). Such
notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if any, the proposed
development will have upon navigable airspace, and allows the FAA to determine
whether the development requires obstruction marking or lighting.
The proposed development will exceed the 100:1 notice requirement for the
North Las Vegas Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the
FAA must be notified of the proposed construction or alteration.
The applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed
Construction or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or
submit to the Clark County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding
Determination Statement and request written concurrence from the Clark County
Department of Aviation.
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure
greater than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460
airspace determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a)
constitute a hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum
flight altitudes during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of
Aviation), or (c) would otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse
impact on airport or aircraft operations.

identified by the Clark County Department of Aviation.
FINDINGS (GPA-71525)
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 densities and intensity allowed by the proposed General Plan
Amendment to the ML (Medium Low Density Residential) designation is not
consistent or compatible with the rural and low density designations in the
surrounding area.
The zoning districts allowed by the proposed amendment allow for residential
products and lot sizes that are not consistent with the larger lot rural and low
density single-family residential zoning districts in the surrounding area.
There are adequate facilities to accommodate the uses and densities permitted by
the proposed amendment.

FINDINGS (ZON-71527)
With the approval of the related amendment to the ML (Medium Low Density
Residential), the proposed rezoning will conform to the General Plan
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 rezoning will allow for residential products and densities that are not
compatible with the larger lot rural and low density residential uses and zoning
districts adjacent to the subject site.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
There are no development factors in the immediate vicinity of the subject site that
indicates a need for a rezoning to the R-CL (Residential Compact Lot) district.
Moreover, the rezoning would allow for lot sizes and residential products that are
not compatible with the rural and low density nature of the area.
The site will receive access from Roberta and Apricot Lane, both 60-foot
secondary collectors. The street facilities are adequate in size to meet the
requirements of the proposed zoning district.

LOCATION: 138-13-801-002
COMMENTS:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or structure greater than
200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13
(a)(2)(i)). Such notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if any, the proposed
development will have upon navigable airspace, and allows the FAA to determine whether the
development requires obstruction marking or lighting.
The proposed development will exceed the 100:1 notice requirement for the North Las Vegas
Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the
proposed construction or alteration. The CCDOA requests that the City of Las Vegas impose
the conditions listed below for the project:
Applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or submit to the Clark
County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding Determination Statement
and request written concurrence from the Clark County Department of Aviation;
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure greater
than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460 airspace
determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a) constitute a
hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum flight altitudes
during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of Aviation), or (c) would
otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse impact on airport or aircraft
operations.
Applicant is advised that FAAs airspace determinations are dependent on petitions by
any interested party and the height that will not present a hazard as determined by the
FAA may change based on these comments.
Applicant is advised that the FAAs airspace determinations include expiration dates and
that the separate airspace determinations will be needed for construction cranes or other
temporary equipment.
Additionally, the proposed development lies just outside the 2015 AE-60 (60-65 DNL) noise
contour for North Las Vegas Airport (VGT), and is subject to significant aircraft noise and
continuing over-flights. Future demand for air travel and airport operations is expected to
increase significantly. Clark County intends to continue to upgrade VGT to meet future air
traffic demand, and nighttime operations may and will continue to occur at VGT.
Applicant is advised that issuing a stand-alone noise disclosure statement to the purchaser
or renter of each unit in the proposed development and to forward the completed and
recorded noise disclosure statements to the Department of Aviation's Noise Office is
strongly encouraged. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration will no longer
approve remedial noise mitigation measures for incompatible development impacted by
aircraft operations which was constructed after October 1, 1998, and funds will not be
available in the future should the residents wish to have their buildings purchased or
soundproofed.

east along Cheyenne Avenue to Campbell Road; these are zoned O (Office) and the
General Plan is also O (Office). The nearest residential development is to the northeast
of the site across the Dapple Gray road cul-de-sac bulb. Per Title 19.18, the residential
development is technically adjacent to this site, even though the two sites do not share
a property line.
Per Title 19.16.010 approval of all Rezonings, Special Use Permits and Site
Development Plan Reviews must be consistent with the spirit and intent of the General
Plan. The subject property is an appropriate location for an amendment of the General
Plan to SC (Service Commercial) and Rezoning to C-1 (Limited Commercial). The
Service Commercial designation allows low to medium intensity retail, office or other
commercial uses serving primarily local area patrons, which is suitable for locations next
to major arterials and intersections of major streets. The site does not abut any lands
planned for low density residential uses. Likewise, the uses that would be allowed in
the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district are appropriate in this location that is
adjacent to land zoned C-1 at intersection of two primary arterials. Access between this
site and the adjacent retail development is restricted by a six-foot solid block wall;
however, the site is large enough to accommodate driveways from either Cheyenne
Avenue, Dapple Gray Road, or both.
The Mini-Storage building is situated on the interior of the site to allow circulation
around the entire property. The requested Waiver to allow the building to be set back
from the corner and street frontages is supported by staff, as the area between the
building and the south perimeter buffer would be restricted to an access aisle only,
rather than a parking area visible from Cheyenne Avenue. Access to the site would be
from Dapple Gray Road, which will have less of an impact on westbound traffic on
Cheyenne Avenue. The lot is gated on the east and south sides of the building to
protect patrons and stored vehicles. Ten parking spaces are situated outside of the
gate; five spaces inside the gate are reserved for rental trucks, which is considered an
accessory use to the Mini-Storage Facility.
Perimeter landscaping is provided in 15-foot wide buffers along Cheyenne Avenue and
Dapple Gray Road and eight-foot buffers along the north and west property lines. A
dense planting of Raywood Ash trees is proposed adjacent to the existing six-foot wall
on the west property line for maximum screening of stored recreational vehicles. As the
north 20 feet of the property is reserved as a public sewer easement, no vegetation over
three feet in height is permitted. Therefore, staff supports an Exception to allow no
trees in the north perimeter buffer. An Exception is also warranted to allow five parking
area trees where nine trees are required, as additional trees are proposed in the
adjacent perimeter buffer, and some of the trees are not able to be provided due to the
aforementioned public sewer easement. Trees in the buffer along Cheyenne Avenue
are spaced at about 25 feet where 20 feet is required; therefore, a condition has been
added to reduce the spacing to allow for at least three additional trees.

Aesthetically, the building contains variations in color and materials, and the buildings
bulk is broken up by changes in wall plane near the main building entrance. Materials
include smooth EIFS panels, cement fiber board panels and metal roll-up doors. The
doors will not be visible from the south. Large storefront windows create an attractive
space at the main entrance. All storage units are interior to the building. A total of 659
units of various sizes are proposed.
The Mini-Storage Facility use is defined as a facility with enclosed storage space,
divided into separate compartments no larger than 500 square feet in size, which is
provided for use by individuals to store personal items or by businesses to store
materials for operation of a business establishment. A three-story enclosed building is
proposed that contains 659 units for storage purposes. As part of the use, up to five
cargo trucks will be available for rental, and 19 covered spaces will be made available
for storage of recreational vehicles.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
The proposed use meets this requirement, as one managers office is provided.
2. All storage shall be within an enclosed building except for the storage of recreational
vehicles, which shall be completely screened from view from surrounding properties
and abutting streets.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as regular storage will occur in units
enclosed within a single 102,523 square-foot building. Recreational vehicles will be
stored under covered parking canopies and will be screened from Cheyenne Avenue
by a new eight-foot solid wall on the south side and both an existing six-foot solid wall
and 24-inch box deciduous trees on the west side. Furthermore, the site is at a lower
grade than the property to the west.

The proposed use meets this requirement, as none of the above-listed activities are
proposed. The business license will be subject to periodic inspection for
conformance with all applicable code requirements.
4. The rental of single unit trucks and small utility trailers shall be permitted as an
accessory use to a mini-storage facility, provided the business is conducted out of the
same office as that of the mini-storage facility. No trucks or trailers shall be displayed
in public view, and the combined total of all trucks and trailers stored on site shall not
exceed a ratio of 2 trucks or trailers for each 100 storage units.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as five (5) rental trucks will be offered
from an onsite office as an accessory use. The trucks will be screened from public
view by a new eight-foot tall solid wall. The ratio of rental trucks to storage units is
0.76 per 100, where two (2) percent is the maximum ratio.
5. Truck and trailer storage shall be screened from streets and adjacent properties.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as rental trucks will be screened from
Dapple Gray Road by a new eight-foot tall solid wall.
6. When adjacent to a residential use, the exterior wall of the mini-storage shall be
constructed of decorative block.
The proposed use meets this requirement. The proposed use is across the cul-de-
sac bulb of Dapple Gray Road and therefore considered adjacent per Title 19. The
proposed exterior wall would be constructed of decorative block.

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 by the C-1 zoning district would be compatible with
the existing retail, tavern, office and public facility uses on adjacent parcels.
Special Use Permits would be required for more intense or controversial uses.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The parcel is located along a major thoroughfare near the intersection of two
primary arterials, and is adjacent to other developed parcels zoned C-1.

Site access is from Dapple Gray Road, a 60-foot right-of-way currently providing
access to nearby offices and a Las Vegas Valley Water District facility to the north.
This single access is adequate to serve the development and should not disrupt
the flow of traffic along Cheyenne Avenue. Based on Peak Hour use, this
development will add into the area roughly 13 additional cars, or about one every
four minutes.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The building and landscape materials provided are appropriate for this area of the
city.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,

This project will add approximately 165 trips per day on Dapple Gray Rd., Cheyenne Ave. and Fort Apache Rd. Currently,
Cheyenne is at about 58 percent of capacity and Fort Apache is at about 9 percent of capacity. With this project,
Cheyenne is expected to remain unchanged and Fort Apache to be at about 10 percent of capacity. Counts are not
available for Dapple Gray, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 13 additional cars, or about one every four

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend the General Plan Designation and Rezone three separate
parcels generally located on the south side of Charleston Boulevard, between Pahor
Drive and Westwood Drive. The addresses are 2001 West Charleston Boulevard (APN
162-04-110-017), 1105 Pahor Drive (APN 162-04-110-016), and 1106 Westwood Drive
(APN 162-04-111-001).
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
All three of the subject sites are currently designated O (Office) which provides for small
lot office conversions as a transition along primary and secondary streets from
residential and commercial uses, and for large planned office areas. The proposed SC
(Service Commercial) 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 of development for this land use
designation include shopping centers, theaters, and other places of public assembly.
The Service Commercial land use designation may also allow mixed-use development
with a residential component.
The current zoning district of the two parcels adjacent to residentially zoned property is
P-R (Professional Office and Parking). This zoning designation provides the existing
single family residences to the south a buffer from the more intense commercial uses
that currently exist adjacent to Charleston Boulevard.
Amending the General Plan and Rezoning these subject sites would allow for the
development of medium intensity commercial buildings and uses directly adjacent to
existing low intensity residential uses without a low intensity office buffer between the
two uses.
NE
GPA-71561 and ZON-71562 [PRJ-71491]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
In addition, the Rancho Charleston Land Use Study and Strategic Plan specified five
goals for the area:
1. Protect the existing residential neighborhoods from any additional encroachment
by commercial and/or office uses.
2. Buffer existing residential neighborhoods from more intense uses that currently
exist.
3. Eliminate residential blight by establishing specific minimum maintenance
standards and enforcement practices, particularly along streets that are
witnessing high traffic counts, in order to discourage speculative investment for
potential non-residential uses.
4. Minimize the impact of traffic on the residential neighborhoods within the study
area.
5. Discourage and minimize the nuisance of obtrusive lighting, noise, odor, signs,
etc. near residential neighborhoods.
The subject properties were specifically designated O (Office) in accordance with the
Rancho Charleston Land Use Study and Strategic Plan which supported the pattern of
office uses that developed over the years within the Charleston Boulevard corridor and
would also provide a buffer to the existing residential neighborhoods that exist on the
south side of Charleston Boulevard.
Staff finds the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning request do not
support the goals specified by the Rancho Charleston Land Use Study and Strategic
Plan, nor are they compatible with the existing surrounding area; therefore, staff is
recommending denial of both requests.
In the future when development is proposed, the subject parcels are currently served by
the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) but two of the three parcels do 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. Proof of parcel lot consolidation will also be required before civil plan
approval.
FINDINGS (GPA-71561)
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:
NE
GPA-71561 and ZON-71562 [PRJ-71491]
Staff Report Page Three
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject sites share a southern property line with existing single family
residences with a land use designation L (Low Density Residential). Amending the
land use designation to SC (Service Commercial) which would allow medium
intensity commercial uses directly adjacent to low density single family residential
uses is not compatible.
The requested C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning designation is too intense for
residential adjacency and is not compatible.
Adequate transportation, utility, and other facilities are able to accommodate the
proposed SC (Service Commercial) General Plan designation.
The proposed amendment does not conform to the Rancho Charleston Land Use
Study and Strategic Plan which specifically recommended the subject sites for an
O (Office) land use designation in order to provide an adequate buffer to the area
residents and prevent the further encroachment of more intense land uses into the
residential neighborhood.
FINDINGS (ZON-71562)
If approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would conform
to 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.

GPA-71561 and ZON-71562 [PRJ-71491]
Staff Report Page Four
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Uses such as Clinics, General Retail, Health Clubs, Restaurants, and Wedding
Chapels are too intense for residential adjacency. The uses permitted in the C-1
(Limited Commercial) are not compatible with the surrounding residential land
uses and zoning districts.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
Growth and development factors in the community do not indicate the need for
commercial uses to encroach upon the residential neighborhood.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend the General Plan Designation and Rezone four separate
parcels generally located on the south side of Charleston Boulevard, east of Westwood
Drive.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
All four of the subject sites are currently designated O (Office) which provides for small
lot office conversions as a transition along primary and secondary streets from
residential and commercial uses, and for large planned office areas. The proposed SC
(Service Commercial) 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 of development for this land use
designation include shopping centers, theaters, and other places of public assembly.
The Service Commercial land use designation may also allow mixed-use development
with a residential component.
The current zoning districts of the four subject sites range from R-4 (High Density
Residential) which has no density limits (only height restrictions would limit density), to
R-E (Residence Estates) which is large lot (two per acre) residential home sites; but
they are all residential in nature. The underlying General Plan designation of O (Office)
would allow for these subject sites to seek a less intense office designation that would
provide a buffer to the remaining residential homes in the area from existing more
intense commercial uses along Charleston Boulevard.
The largest of the four sites, 1823 West Charleston Boulevard, has a single family
residential neighborhood directly adjacent to the western and southern parcel lines; and
the adjacent 1128 Shadow Lane has large lot single family residences to the south of its
property line as well. Amending the General Plan and Rezoning these subject sites
NE
GPA-71568 and ZON-71569 [PRJ-71531]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
would allow for the development of medium intensity commercial buildings and uses
directly adjacent to existing low intensity residential uses without a low intensity office
buffer between the two uses.
In addition, the Rancho Charleston Land Use Study and Strategic Plan specified five
goals for the area:
1. Protect the existing residential neighborhoods from any additional encroachment
by commercial and/or office uses.
2. Buffer existing residential neighborhoods from more intense uses that currently
exist.
3. Eliminate residential blight by establishing specific minimum maintenance
standards and enforcement practices, particularly along streets that are
witnessing high traffic counts, in order to discourage speculative investment for
potential non-residential uses.
4. Minimize the impact of traffic on the residential neighborhoods within the study
area.
5. Discourage and minimize the nuisance of obtrusive lighting, noise, odor, signs,
etc. near residential neighborhoods.
The subject properties were specifically designated O (Office) in accordance with the
Rancho Charleston Land Use Study and Strategic Plan which supported the pattern of
office uses that developed over the years within the Charleston Boulevard corridor and
would also provide a buffer to the existing residential neighborhoods that exist on the
south side of Charleston Boulevard.
Staff finds the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning request do not
support the goals specified by the Rancho Charleston Land Use Study and Strategic
Plan, nor are they compatible with the existing surrounding area; therefore, staff is
recommending denial of both requests.
In the future when development is proposed, the subject parcels are currently served by
the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) but do 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. Proof of
parcel lot consolidation will also be required before civil plan approval.
FINDINGS (GPA-71568)
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:
NE
GPA-71568 and ZON-71569 [PRJ-71531]
Staff Report Page Three
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject sites share a western and southern property line with existing single
family residences with land use designations of either L (Low Density Residential)
or DR (Desert Rural Density Residential). Amending the land use designation to
SC (Service Commercial) which would allow medium intensity commercial uses
directly adjacent to low density single family residential uses is not compatible.
The requested C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning designation is too intense for
residential adjacency and is not compatible.
Adequate transportation, utility, and other facilities are able to accommodate the
proposed SC (Service Commercial) General Plan designation.
The proposed amendment does not conform to the Rancho Charleston Land Use
Study and Strategic Plan which specifically recommended the subject sites for an
O (Office) land use designation in order to provide an adequate buffer to the area
residents and prevent the further encroachment of more intense land uses into
their residential neighborhood.
FINDINGS (ZON-71569)
If approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would conform
to 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.
NE
GPA-71568 and ZON-71569 [PRJ-71531]
Staff Report Page Four
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Uses such as Clinics, General Retail, Health Clubs, Restaurants, and Wedding
Chapels are too intense for residential adjacency. The uses permitted in the C-1
(Limited Commercial) are not compatible with the surrounding residential land
uses and zoning districts.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
Growth and development factors in the community do not indicate the need for
commercial uses to encroach upon the residential neighborhood.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow a reduction of the lot size for two lots within a
proposed four-lot single family residential subdivision on the southeast corner of
Whispering Sands Drive and Jones Boulevard.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to allow a reduction in lot size from 20,000 square feet to
18,855 square feet on Lot 3, and a reduction in lot size from 20,000 square feet
to 18,854 square feet on Lot 4 in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district.
ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to subdivide and develop a 1.79 acre lot located on the
southeast corner of Whispering Sands Drive and Jones Boulevard into a four-lot single
family residential cul-de-sac. The proposed cul-de-sac mirrors the existing residential
development that surrounds the subject site to the east and south.
The subject site and surrounding properties are zoned R-E (Residence Estates) which
requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. In order to remain consistent with the
zoning and existing residential development in the surrounding area, the applicant is
requesting a Variance for Lots 3 and 4 to be reduced by approximately 1,145 square
feet to 18,855 square feet and 18,854 square feet, respectively.
The portion of Jones Boulevard adjacent to the subject has been dedicated and the
improvements constructed, including the sidewalk. Due to the existence of these
improvements, the Public Works department is Waiving the Complete Streets
requirement set forth by Title 19.04 for both Jones Boulevard and Whispering Sands
Drive. Waiving the Complete Streets requirement for Whispering Sands Drive allows the
proposed residential subdivision to be consistent with the existing surrounding
residential developments and keep the rural element to the existing neighborhood. In
addition, Public Works has waived the intersection offset requirement since this will be a
private cul-de-sac (easement) treated like a driveway with Whispering Sands Drive
addresses for the four lots once subdivided. Although the cul-de-sac will be a private
drive, the cul-de-sac will be constructed to public street standards per Title 19.

Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Due to the dedication of right-of-way along Jones Boulevard, the subject site was
reduced in size preventing the subject site from being subdivided into four 20,000
square-foot lots. To account for the loss of square-footage, the applicant reduced the
size of the rear knuckle lots by approximately 1,145 square feet each. Staff finds this
deviation request for two of the four lots to be minimal in nature and is recommending
approval of both requests.
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
This is a request for a Variance to allow the construction of a 10-foot tall CMU (Concrete
Masonry Wall) along the north, south, and east perimeters where 8 feet is the maximum
height allowed; and a ten-foot tall wrought iron fence along the west perimeter where 5
feet is the maximum height allowed.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to allow 10-foot tall perimeter walls for the north, south,
and east perimeters where 8 feet is the maximum allowed in the C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district.
A Variance is required to allow a 10-foot tall wrought iron fence for the west
perimeter (front) where 5 feet is the maximum height allowed in the C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district.
ANALYSIS
Located on the northeast corner of Monroe Avenue and C Street, the subject site currently
contains a building in the southwest corner of the site. As mentioned in the justification
letter, the applicant intends to construct a new building on the site, but in the meantime
would like to secure the site with the proposed 10-foot tall CMU decorative wall along the
north, south, and east perimeters, with a 10-foot tall decorative wrought iron fence along
the east perimeter.
The CMU wall would contain 24-inch pilasters every 18 feet on center, with the top 24-
inches of the wall containing split face CMU for a decorative effect and to meet the 20
percent contrasting material set forth by Title 19 for CMU perimeter walls. The wrought
iron proposed for the east perimeter would contain an ornamental finial (top) every seven
feet with three rows of horizontal iron for structural stability. Entry to the site would be
provided by a pedestrian gate adjacent to C Street, or the front of the site, and a larger
gate along the north perimeter adjacent to the alley, to allow vehicular traffic onto the site.
Title 19 allows a maximum height of eight feet for perimeter walls and fences along the
side and rear property lines, and only five feet for the front property line. Since the subject
site is a corner lot, Title 19 defines the front property line of a corner lot as the side that
fronts on a street or drive and has the lesser dimension in width as the front of the lot. In
this instance, the frontage along C Street is the front.
NE
VAR-71504 [PRJ-71456]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Title 19 also prohibits solid screen walls from being constructed in the front yard of a
commercial or industrial property. Alternatively, Title 19 allows a maximum height of 5
feet, with only the bottom 2 feet permitted to be solid and the remaining 3 feet to be 50
percent open. The applicant has proposed a ten-foot tall wrought iron decorative fence
for the front of the property. The proposed wrought iron fence would not contain the 2-
foot solid base and would be provide the 50 percent open component required by Title
19.
While it is not required as part of this request, the applicant has demonstrated on the
site plans landscape plantings along the west and south perimeter adjacent to the right-
of-way. As stated in the justification letter, the applicant intends on developing the site in
the future and would like to install the landscaping in conjunction with the perimeter
walls and fence. Required landscape buffers will be addressed when the applicant
proposes development for the subject site in the future.

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

the maximum height allowed within the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district.
Proposing a wall height that conforms to Title 19 requirements would allow conformance
and not require a Variance. 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.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pre-Application Meeting
Staff conducted a pre-application meeting where the landscape buffer
08/17/17
standards and wall height limitations were discussed.
Neighborhood Meeting
A Neighborhood meeting was not required, nor was one held.
Field Check
During a routine field check performed by staff several storage
containers were noted on site. On top of one of the storage containers
was part of a large vehicle, and wooden pallets were observed
08/31/17 discarded on the site. Outdoor storage is permitted as an accessory
use in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district, and it must be
screened. The site has been reported to Code Enforcement for further
investigation.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow 44 parking spaces where 60 parking spaces
are required for a commercial development at 3300 and 3312 West Charleston
Boulevard.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The 13,754 square-foot commercial development located at the subject site was
previously utilized as an Office other than listed land use. The applicant has proposed to
utilize the site with a combination of General Retail, Office other than listed and Medical
Office land uses.
Per the submitted site plan the subject site currently has two structures. Building A is a
total of 5,166 square feet; and will be comprised of a 1,976 square-foot retail pharmacy
and 3,190 square-foot Office other than listed land use. Building B is a total of 8,588
square feet; and will be comprised of a 4,934 square-foot Office other than listed and
3,654 square-foot Medical Office land use.
The conversion from Office other than listed to General Retail and Medical Office land
use intensifies the required parking on-site. If the application is denied, the 13,754
square-foot commercial development cannot be utilized as a General Retail and
Medical Office land use. Since the subject location can be utilized with a land use with a
less intense parking requirement, staff has determined that the proposed Variance is
self-imposed; therefore, staff recommends denial.
FINDINGS (VAR-66516)
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:

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance for an existing garage that exceeds the
maximum size allowed and is located within required setback areas on property located
at 104 South Mallard Street.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within a residential subdivision with a zoning designation of
R-1 (Single Family Residential). The lot is approximately 9,100 square feet in size and
has an irregular trapezoid shape. Code Enforcement issued Case #180586 on 07/11/17
for the subject Accessory Structure (Class II) being constructed without a building
permit. The applicant is requesting a Variance, as the existing structure does not meet
the following minimum Title 19 development standard requirements:
A rear and side yard setback of zero feet where three feet is required
A separation of two feet from the principal dwelling where six feet is required
A height of 14 feet where 11 feet is allowed
And the size of the structure to be 1,080 square feet where 992 square feet is the
maximum size allowed.
Per the submitted justification letter, the size of the structure is needed in for the storage
of classic vehicles and tools. On a routine field check, staff found the subject accessory
structure to be aesthetically compatible with the principal dwelling as both structures are
painted in a similar shade of green.

While the subject accessory structure is located on a residentially zoned lot with an
irregular shape, it is too large and intense for the existing residential neighborhood as
evidenced by the number of variances requested; therefore, staff recommends denial.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 5,775 square-foot retail development consisting of a 2,940 square-
foot convenience store with fuel pumps, and a 2,835 square foot retail building at the
southwest corner of Martin L. King Boulevard and Washington Avenue.
ISSUES
A Special Use Permit is required for a Beer, Wine, Cooler Off-Sale Establishment
use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. Staff recommends approval
of the request.
A Site Development Plan Review for a 5,775 square-foot retail development is
being requested. Staff recommends approval of the request.
A Waiver from Title 19.08 is being requested to allow the buildings to not be
oriented to the corner and street frontage where such is required. Staff
recommends approval of the request.
An Exception from Title 19.08 parking lot landscaping standards is being
requested to allow one fewer landscape island at the end of a parking row where
required by code. Staff recommends approval of the request.
ANALYSIS
The request is for a 5,775 square-foot retail development located at the southwest
corner of Martin L. King Boulevard and Washington Avenue. There are two buildings
on the site intended for use as a convenience store with fuel pumps and a retail
building. The convenience store totals 2,940 square feet of floor area, and the retail
building totals 2,835 square feet of floor area. The retail building includes a drive-
through that is properly screened and meets all Title 19.08 requirements. The site
receives access via a drive from Washington Avenue, and two drives from Martin L.
King Drive. Thirty-five onsite parking spaces are provided where 33 are required. The
applicant is requesting a Waiver from Title 19.12 development standards to allow the
building to not be oriented to the corner and street frontage where such is required. The
waiver request is justified as it will allow for better access and circulation for the
proposed convenience store and associated fuel canopies.
The landscape plan indicates landscaping that meets or exceeds Title 19.08 standards
along the perimeter of the development. The plan depicts a 15-foot landscape buffer
area along all street frontages as required, and a 15-foot buffer area along the south
FS

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
property line where eight feet is required. 25-foot Mexican Fan Palms are planted 20
feet on-center along the Martin L. King frontage, and 24-inch box Chinese Pastiche are
planted 20 feet on center along the remainder of the property. The required shrubs and
ground covers are indicated as required on the plan.
An Exception to Title 19.08 Parking Lot Landscape Standards has been requested to
allow one less landscape island than is required by code. A landscaped island planted
with a 24-inch box tree and four five-gallon shrubs is required at the end of the parking
row along the north side of the proposed convenience store building. This exception is
justified as the overall number of trees adjacent to the provided parking exceeds the
number required by code (8 required vs 12 provided), and the reduction of one parking
lot island at the end of the parking row will not have a detrimental effect on the
appearance of the overall development.
The building elevations indicate two buildings identified as a future convenience store
and a retail building. Both buildings are 22 feet tall and have a flat roof with a parapet to
screen rooftop equipment. The exteriors consist of stucco, stone veneer, and standard
storefront glazing.
To the north and west of the site are residential parcels zoned R-E (Residence Estates).
Per Title 19.08, Residential Adjacency Standards apply to both of the aforementioned
property lines. The site meets the 3 to 1 proximity slope requirements along both
property lines. The convenience store building is the nearest structure to the protected
property to the east and it meets the requirement with a setback of 66 feet where 66
feet is required. The fuel canopy is the nearest structure to the northern property line,
and it is setback 130 feet from the protected property to the north where 54 feet is the
minimum required. The nearest trash enclosure is 86 feet from the protected property
to the west where 50 feet is the minimum required.
A Special Use Permit is required for a Beer, Wine, Cooler Off-Sale Establishment use in
the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The Beer, Wine, Cooler Off-sale
Establishment use is defined as An establishment whose license to sell alcoholic
beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers to consumers only and not for
resale, in original sealed or corked containers, for consumption off the premises where
business is conducted, and is operated in connection with a grocery store, drugstore,
convenience store, restaurant or general retail store. The subject site meets all Title
19.12 requirements for a Beer, Wine, Cooler Off-Sale Establishment.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 1509 Flag Circle.
The subject site has been operating as a Short-Term Residential Rental with a business
license issued on 12/01/16, but requires a Special Use Permit to continue operating
after 6/30/19 per Ordinance No. 6585.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a
Special Use Permit is required.
The applicant has been operating a Short-Term Residential Rental at this site under
business license (#G64-07502) issued on 12/01/16. The applicant received
planning approval through a Conditional Use Verification (CUV-67776) issued on
11/16/16. The applicant began operations prior to the requirement of a Special Use
Permit for a Short-Term Residential Rental use.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains four
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The Short-Term Residential Rental
definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I
or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and is a home with more than three bedrooms; therefore, per Title 19.12.040 a Special
Use Permit is required.

SUP-71375 [PRJ-71337]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/08/17, the applicant
meets this description as they propose to continue using their single-family dwelling as
a Short-Term Rental.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
The existing business license for this Short-Term Residential Rental will be
subject to license renewal and annual compliance review to ensure that all
regulatory requirements continue to be met.
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is more than
660 feet from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.
The applicant has been operating a Short-Term Residential Rental at this site under
business license (#G64-07502) issued on 12/01/16. The applicant received planning
approval through a Conditional Use Verification (CUV-67776) issued on 11/16/16. The
applicant began operations prior to the requirement of a Conditional Use Verification or
Special Use Permit for a Short-Term Residential Rental use.

Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The subject Short-Term Residential Rental Use has operated without violation since
12/01/16. The site meets the distance separation requirements and the use will
continue to be conducted in a manner that is harmonious with the existing surrounding
land uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-71375)
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 is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed from Flag
Circle, a 50-foot wide local street, which will provide adequate access for 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.

** STAFF REPORT **
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 821 Mar Jay Court.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a
Special Use Permit is required. Staff recommends approval of the request.
`An inspection through the Department of Planning - Code Enforcement Division
was held on 09/18/17 and several building code deficiencies where noted. The
applicant must repair or correct all deficiencies, and a follow-up inspection must be
passed prior to the issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential), and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains three
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records; however, the floor plan indicates a
four-bedroom home, and the code enforcement inspection also noted that the site is
developed with legally permitted garage conversion that is being used as a bedroom.
The Short-Term Residential Rental definition specifically prohibits the rental or
occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit.
Staff has included a recommended condition that includes that restriction.
A Code Enforcement inspection was completed 09/18/17 and several code violations
where identified for the owner to correct. The applicant must repair or correct all
deficiencies prior to the issuance of the business license. A follow-up inspection has
not been scheduled.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.

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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/27/17, the owner of the
dwelling frequently travels and would like to utilize the house a vacation rental.
Additionally, the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is 945 feet
from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.
The site meets R-1 lot standards and is approximately 945 feet from the nearest Short-
Term Residential Rental use, which exceeds the minimum distance separation
requirements from other short-term rental uses. Staff finds that the use can be
conducted in a manner that is harmonious with the existing surrounding land uses.
Therefore, staff recommends approval, subject to conditions.

states that he has lived in the house at least 10 of the past 15 years. However, none of
the bedrooms are indicated as owner occupied.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)

*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is 692 feet
from the nearest active Short-Term Residential Rental use.
The property is located within a single-family residential subdivision on a corner lot. The

applicant began operations prior to the requirement of a Special Use Permit for a Short-
Term Residential Rental use. A Code Enforcement inspection was completed 09/19/17
with several items for the owner to correct. A follow-up inspection has not been
scheduled.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The subject Short-Term Residential Rental Use has been in operation without a
neighborhood complaint since 11/17/16. The site meets R-1 lot standards and distance
separation requirements from other short-term rental uses. Staff finds that the use can
continue to be conducted in a manner that is harmonious with the existing surrounding
land uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval, subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 718 Lacy Lane.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E
(Residence Estates) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The subject residence does not comply with the bedroom limitation of three
bedrooms for an owner occupied rental of the Conditional Use Regulations. Per Title
19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to the
issuance of a business license.
ANALYSIS
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use does not meet Conditional Use
Regulation Number 7 which states, On any particular parcel, the use is limited to a
single residential dwelling unit that is occupied by its owner during each period the unit
is rented and that has no more than three bedrooms, with a maximum occupancy not to
exceed the limits set forth in LVMC 6.75.090, as the subject residence has four
bedrooms; therefore, per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/23/17, the applicant
wishes to rent the master bedroom and bathroom located on the east side of the
residence for one weekend per month in order to supplement her retirement income.
Additionally, the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

request.

ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1

The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of

ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains three
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The Short-Term Residential Rental
definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I
or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulation requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented;
therefore, per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
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

tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/23/17, the applicant
meets this definition, as they intend to rent out their single-family dwelling on a short-
term basis.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review for a proposed 8,275 square-foot
expansion to an existing 5,800 square-foot commercial building on 0.48 acres located
on the northeast corner of Imperial Avenue and Main Street.
ISSUES
Per the Downtown Centennial Plan Area Threshold requirements, the proposed
8,275 square-foot addition represents a modification to an existing structure resulting
in net floor area expansion exceeding 10% or 5,000 SF (whichever is less) of floor
area of the existing structure and requires a Major Site Development Plan review.
Staff recommends denial of the request.
There are no proposed alterations to the existing streetscape design; this proposal is
limited to the 8,275 square-foot expansion of the existing building.
The 8,275 square-foot addition includes a 4,500 square-foot patio area adjacent to
Main Street.
ANALYSIS
The proposed building addition will be located on the eastern perimeter of the existing
building adjacent to alleyway. The subject site is located in the Las Vegas Downtown
Centennial Plan Downtown South district, within the C-M (Commercial/Industrial)
zoning district. The subject site was previously utilized as an Auto Repair Garage, Major
use. However, the applicant has proposed to utilize this site as a shell building for future
retail uses which are permitted in the C-M (Commercial/Industrial) zoning district.
The proposed building elevations indicate that the west elevation of the building, which
faces Main Street, will be finished with corten steel panels, charcoal CMU block and
charcoal steel panels. The overall height of the structure will remain the same at 12 feet
in height when measured to the top of the roof parapet. All existing streetscape design
along Main Street and Imperial Avenue will not be affected by this proposal. Per the
Downtown Centennial Plan Area Threshold requirements, the subject site is considered
a partial block frontage, so any streetscape not implemented due to existing conditions
will require a Covenant Running with Land to obtain property owners consent for future
improvements. A condition has been added to address this concern
JB
SDR-71507 [PRJ-71398]
Staff Report Page Two
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The submitted site plan indicates that no parking spaces will be provided for the site.
Projects located within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan area are not subject
to the automatic application of parking requirements, however 81 parking spaces is the
minimum required for a commercial development of this size. Staff has determined that
by providing no on-site parking to accommodate future land uses on the subject site will
have a negative impact, as on-street parking opportunities are limited within the
surrounding area. In addition, this project will add approximately 1,431 trips per day on
Imperial Avenue, Main Street and Wyoming Avenue. Currently, Main Street is at about
52 percent of capacity and Wyoming Avenue is at about 63 percent of capacity. With
this project, Main Street is expected to be at about 57 percent of capacity and Wyoming
to be at about 69 percent of capacity. Counts are not available for Imperial, but it is
believed to be under capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into
the area roughly 139 additional cars, or about five every two minutes.
This parcel is currently served by Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) for
domestic only but the domestic services do not have the required backflow prevention
per NAC 445A.67195. Civil plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for fire flow
availability and/or a fire service and backflow retrofit. It should be noted that the existing
services for this parcel are located on Imperial Ave., just east of the alley. The
development proposes a fire sprinkler system which will require a large above-ground
backflow preventer and the current site plan indicates that utilities will be installed on a
concrete pad within the building footprint adjacent to the alleyway. A condition has been
added that requires all utility or mechanical equipment to comply with the provisions of
the Downtown Centennial Plan for screening.
Since this project provides no on-site parking, where 81 parking spaces is the minimum
required for a commercial development of this size and will significantly impact parking
in the immediate area; staff recommend denial of this proposed development with
conditions.
FINDINGS (SDR-71507)
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 building addition and elevation changes are compatible with the
surrounding area and adjacent automotive repair, multi-family and general office
land uses. However, the subject provides zero parking spaces where 81 parking
spaces is the minimum required for a commercial development of this size if
JB

Staff Report Page Three
October 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
outside the Downtown Centennial Plan Area. Since this development significantly
impacts available on-street parking in the immediate area staff recommends
denial of the proposed development.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed commercial building and proposed retail uses continue to meet all
minimum city standards and remains a permissible land use in Las Vegas
Downtown Centennial Plan Downtown South District. The proposed building
addition and elevation changes are consistent with the all city plans, policies and
standards.
Site access is provided from Main Street a 100-foot Primary Arterial Street and
Imperial Avenue a 80-foot Major Collector Street. These streets are sufficient in
size to accommodate the needs of the proposed use.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building addition will be finished to match the proposed front facade
which will be finished with corten steel panels, charcoal CMU block and charcoal
steel panels. The project design and style are appropriate for the subject location
and will be harmonious with buildings in the surrounding area.
The design characteristics of the proposed building elevations are not unsightly
and are compatible with development in the area. The applicant is seeking to
update the appearance of the existing office building and provide additional floor
area for a new tenant. The proposed materials provide a suitable update for the
surrounding commercial uses and the desert environment.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT SUMMARY
This text amendment request is for the discussion and possible action to amend the
LVMC Title 19, Unified Development Code (UDC) of the City of Las Vegas by removing
all references to the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District and the
affiliated Downtown Centennial Plan and replacing those references with the newly
adopted Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan and related DTLV-O Downtown
Las Vegas Overlay District.
ANALYSIS
The City of Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan was originally adopted by the City
Council on July 5th, 2000. In the 17 years since the plan adoption, many changes in
urban development trends have brought about the necessity for updating and
expanding the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan. Through a substantial two year
planning effort, the new Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan was recently
adopted by the City Council in June of 2016 with the goal of expanding the plan area
and updating the master plan to meet the growing urban demands for the next 30 years.
In 2011, the City Council adopted the Unified Development Code (UDC) for the city of
Las Vegas to consolidate the citys subdivision and zoning codes into one
comprehensive development code. In developing the new code, the inclusion of
Special Area and Overlay Districts that establish special zoning regulations to support
the unique character of those areas was formalized. It is this Chapter of the Municipal
Code, Title 19.10.110, that enables the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan
Area to maintain separate development standards that are aligned with the unique
urban nature of the area. This proposed amendment is the first step in creating the
formal path to implementing the 30-year vision laid out in the Vision 2045 Downtown
Las Vegas Masterplan.
FINDINGS
Remove the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District from the UDC
and replace with the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District.
Remove references to the Downtown Centennial Plan from the UDC and replace
with the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master Plan and the Interim
Downtown Las Vegas Urban Form Standards, which are encapsulated within the
Implementing Regulations of the Master Plan.

I. Vision and Purpose
A. Vision
The Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan is the policy document that states the goals
and strategies set forth by the City of Las Vegas for the downtown region. The Vision 2045
Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan envisions and encourages downtown Las Vegas to achieve a
compact, vibrant, urban environment, with a focus on higher density mixed-use development
around transit hubs and activity nodes. This will deliver an energetic urban way of life and high-
quality physical environment for locals and visitors alike. This vision is implemented through the
Downtown Las Vegas Overlay (DTLV-O) as described in this document.
B. Purpose
On July 15, 2016 the Las Vegas City Council adopted the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas
Masterplan by Resolution R-25-2016. To implement the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas
Masterplan, this document supersedes and replaces the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan
Overlay, and establishes the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay.
C. Geographic Area
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay shall apply in the area identified as Downtown in the
Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan as adopted by City Council by Resolution R-25-2016
on July 15, 2016, and amended by TXT-66412 by the Planning Commission on September 13,
2016 (see Figure 1). See the official Zoning Map Atlas for the exact location of properties currently
under the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay.
D. Phasing
The DTLV-O encompasses the twelve Downtown Districts as identified in the Vision 2045
Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan and described in Chapter II of this document. Phased over time,
each of these twelve Districts will be administered by a distinct set of standards to be adopted as
either part of Urban Form Zoning Districts or Special Area Plans following the completion of a
context-based plan for land use and development. District-specific standards are categorized
within Area 3 of the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay, as defined in Section I.D of this
Chapter. In the absence of context-based district-specific standards, the Downtown standards
for Area 1 or Area 2, as defined in Section D of this Chapter, will apply, based on the site location
(see Figure 2).
3|Page
Figure 1. See the official Zoning Map Atlas for the exact location of properties currently under
the DTLV Overlay.
4|Page
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay (Fig. 1) is divided amongst three distinct areas: Area 1,
Area 2, and Area 3 (Fig. 2).
Area 1. This Area has already been established as part of Downtown Las Vegas by the previous
document Downtown Centennial Plan and the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay.
Area 2. This Area has been identified as part of downtown following the adoption of the Vision
2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan and the expansion of the previous Downtown Centennial
Plan boundary. Because of the peripheral location relative to Area 1, and the different existing
urban context, Area 2 is recognized as a distinct area.
Area 3. The downtown areas identified as Area 3 have specific context-based development
regulations that support the desired vision for future development, in the form of either Urban
Form Zoning Districts or Special Area Plans.
a. The Las Vegas Medical District, as defined in the Las Vegas Medical District Plan adopted
by City Council on June 19, 2002.
b. The Symphony Park District, as defined by the Symphony Park Design Standards adopted
by Ordinance No. 6311 by City Council on April 2, 2014.

E. Applicability
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay conforms to the General Plan of the City of Las Vegas,
and is hereby incorporated into the City's Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master Plan by way
of Ordinance Ord. No. XX, adopted (date). The Interim Downtown Las Vegas Urban Form
Standards supersedes and replaces the Downtown Las Vegas Centennial Plan as adopted by
Ordinance by City Council on July 5, 2000.
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay complements and coordinates with the
Redevelopment Plan for the Downtown Las Vegas Redevelopment Area, as adopted March 5,
1986, and amended thereafter.
All development plans within the DTLV-O area (Figure. 1) shall comply with the adopted DTLV-O
Downtown Las Vegas Overlay as well as all other applicable regulations in the city, county, state
and Federal jurisdictions. These standards are not intended to override or contradict the city of
Las Vegas codes or requirements. Where differences occur, the most stringent shall apply in all
cases.
G. Amendment Process
Amendment(s) to the Standards outlined within the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay may
be made via the Text Amendment process.
H. Review Process
The DTLV-O is composed of three (3) distinct areas. Each Area has a particular variety of land
uses, density, and urban characteristics demonstrated by the existing building fabric it contains
and the redevelopment opportunities it presents. The continuity of general design standards and
streetscape design will weave the unique neighborhoods together into a continuous downtown
urban experience. Goals have been identified for each district to reestablish Downtown Las Vegas
with a balance of cultural, residential, office, civic, retail and light industrial areas, consistent with
the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan. For the purpose of establishing the Area
boundaries, wherever the boundary of a district is identified as a particular street or other right-
of-way, the district shall extend to the centerline of that street or right-of-way, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, the review process of Planning
Applications is as set forth in Title 19.16 of the Las Vegas Municipal Code.
2. Waiver. Where specific development standards cannot be met, the applicant shall require
the approval of a Waiver.
a. Requirements
Waivers to the Design Standards contained within the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay may
only be granted in accordance with 19.16.100 with clear and convincing evidence of development
feasibility, or to further the City's goals as expressed in the Vision 2045 Downtown Masterplan.
b. Land Use
No waivers shall be granted to allow a land use that is not permitted within a particular zoning
district or urban form zone.

8. Las Vegas Medical District
Goal: The center of health, education, and research for Southern Nevada
Description: With proximity to the core as a significant employment node, the Las Vegas Medical
District (LVMD) shows great potential for driving the medical-oriented economy while
complementing other districts of Downtown. Several millions of square feet of development are
proposed, creating a mixed use, walkable, and healthy neighborhood through several
reinvestment strategies, including focusing mixed-use development along major streets,
reinforcing green linkages, and completion of a convenient transit line linking the LVMD to the
Civic & Business and Resort & Casino districts, as well as UNLV and McCarran International
Airport. The UNLV Medical School will function as the primary anchor for activity in this District.
For further details, refer to the Las Vegas Medical District Plan.
Detailed standards for zoning districts and land uses in the Las Vegas Medical District have been
established through the adoption of the Las Vegas Medical district Plan, and therefore there is
no table for Non compatible Title 19 Zoning Districts. Instead, for the list of allowed and
prohibited land uses within the LVMD refer to Table 1 of the Las Vegas Medical District Plan
LVMD Permitted Uses.

IV. Outdoor dining and entertainment standards
2. Requirements
a. Outdoor dining is only allowed within Area 1 of the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay
(Figure 4) in conjunction with a licensed food or beverage establishment permanently located at
the subject site. This section does not apply to open air vendors, food carts, and food trucks.
B. Standards
Outdoor dining otherwise permitted within the underlying zoning district may be permitted to
take place within a public sidewalk area, private property, or similar pedestrian area, but only in
accordance with the Outdoor Dining Standards. The location requirements as well as the barrier
requirements are set forth in section 1 and 2 of this subsection. Unless otherwise specified in this
Section, the following standards shall apply to outdoor dining in public sidewalk areas as well as
on private property.
1. Location
a. Public Sidewalks. Outdoor dining may occur only as an accessory use to a food or
beverage establishment and may be permitted only in the public sidewalk or similar pedestrian
area immediately adjacent to the front of the establishment. The dining area may not extend
53 | P a g e
beyond the boundaries of the abutting property and shall not be located in a manner that
interferes with the building egress and ingress as required by the International Building Code
(IBC). No outdoor dining area may be located within twenty feet of an intersection or within ten
feet of a driveway or alley. Where approved by the Department of Public Works, outdoor dining
in a public sidewalk or similar pedestrian area may occupy up to two thirds of the total width of
the sidewalk or available pedestrian area. In the case of a sidewalk or similar pedestrian area up
to 15 feet wide, there shall remain a minimum pedestrian clearance of five feet. For sidewalks or
similar pedestrian areas with a greater width, the minimum pedestrian clearance is eight feet.
This minimum clearance area must occur between any outdoor dining and a continuous line that
represents where sidewalk or pedestrian area obstructions are located. Such obstructions
include without limitation tree planters, landscape planters, street furniture, streetlight poles,
utility poles, fire hydrants, sign posts, and permitted news racks.
b. Private Property
Outdoor dining may occur only as an accessory use to a food or beverage establishment, and
shall only be permitted on private property, except as otherwise allowed under this section. The
outdoor dining or seating areas shall not extend onto adjacent properties or rights-of-way. The
outdoor dining or seating areas shall not be located in a manner that interferes with building
egress and ingress as required by the International Building Code (IBC).
2. Roofing
Will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
3. Furniture
All furnishings within an outdoor dining area shall be movable and made of sturdy, durable and
commercial grade material. They shall be designed to complement the design theme of the
business. Ordinary plastic lawn chairs and tables and similar furniture are not acceptable.
4. Trash Enclosures
a. Public Sidewalks.
Trash receptacles are not permitted within the outdoor dining area or the adjacent public
sidewalk.
5. Lighting
a. Public Sidewalks.
Lighting, when provided, shall be shielded and of low wattage so as to illuminate only the outdoor
dining area and so as to avoid producing glare that has a negative impact on pedestrian traffic,
surrounding properties or rights-of-way. The design of the light fixtures shall be compatible with
the architectural theme of the building and business.
6. Maintenance
54 | P a g e
Outdoor dining and seating areas shall be kept in good state of repair and maintained in a clean,
safe and sanitary condition. Any item of furniture or equipment that is broken, rusting, degraded,
torn, or tattered shall be removed promptly. The outdoor dining area must be swept and mopped
every night after closing, and kept clean of food or other refuse.
C. Encroachment Approval
Any dining or entertainment to take place within the public right-of-way shall require approval
of a license agreement to encroach as approved by Public Works Staff or an agreement pursuant
to LVMC 13.32.065.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19.12.010 to allow a Tattoo Parlor / Body
Piercing Studio in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district with the approval of a
Special Use Permit.
ANALYSIS
Under current code requirements in the City of Las Vegas, a Tattoo Parlor / Body Piercing
Studio is permitted by right in the C-M (Commercial / Industrial) and M (Industrial)
zoning districts, and permitted in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district with the
approval of a Special Use Permit. This amendment would add an S under the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district in the land use tables in LVMC Title 19.12.010 to
allow the use in that district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. The Special Use
Permit process would allow input by the general public regarding the impacts of the
proposed use on the surrounding adjacent uses, and provide the Planning Commission
and/or City Council the discretion to deny it, or approve it with conditions as needed to
mitigate any conflicts.
FINDINGS
1. Add an S under the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district in the land use
tables in LVMC Title 19.12.010 to allow the use in that district with the approval
of a Special Use Permit.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19.12.070 by amending the Minimum Special
Use Permit Requirement regarding signage restrictions for the Marijuana Cultivation
Facility, Marijuana Dispensary and Marijuana Production Facility uses.
ANALYSIS
Under current code requirements in the City of Las Vegas, on-site signage for marijuana
uses are restricted to one wall sign per street frontage, the face of the sign not to exceed
thirty square feet in area and not to exceed two feet in height. Signage is also limited to
internal illumination, and the use of neon is prohibited. A previous Text Amendment
(TXT-64173) that allowed these restrictions to be waived was adopted as Ordinance
6545 on 08/03/16. This amendment would remove the restrictions entirely, and allow
signage at sites occupied by marijuana uses to simply comply with the standard zoning
requirements of Title 19 and any applicable Special Area Master Plan.
FINDINGS
1. Delete the on-site signage restrictions that limit marijuana uses to one wall sign per
street frontage, the face of the sign not to exceed thirty square feet in area and not
to exceed two feet in height. Signage is also limited to internal illumination, and the
use of neon is prohibited.
2. On-site signage would be subject to the standard zoning requirements of Title 19
and any applicable Special Area Master Plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19.18.020 and LVMC Title 6.50.020 by
amending the definition in both for a Convenience Store to allow a convenience store
located within a mixed-use development to contain less than 1,200 of gross floor area.
ANALYSIS
Under current code requirements in the City of Las Vegas, a Convenience Store is
defined as having a minimum gross floor area of 1,200 square feet. This amendment
would allow a convenience store located within a mixed-use development to have less
than 1,200 square feet. Convenience stores located within mixed-use developments
are generally smaller than average due to the high density, urban environment that they
are located in. In addition, although they are open to the public, they mainly service the
tenants and residents of the mixed-use development in which they are located.
Allowing a convenience store with a smaller footprint in these locations is beneficial in
keeping these neighborhoods walkable, and allows them to carry a full range of
products, including beer and wine/wine coolers with the approval of a Special Use
Permit. It would not allow a convenience store to operate as a full liquor store offering
off-sale package liquor sales.
FINDINGS
1. It will amend the definition of Convenience Store in both LVMC Title 19.18.020
and LVMC Title 6.50.020 to allow a convenience store located within a mixed-
use development to contain less than 1,200 of gross floor area.
