** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 66-lot single family residential subdivision on 17.09 acres within parcel 2.16
of the Skye Canyon Master Plan Area.

ISSUES

This map request was originally approved at the September 13, 2016 Planning Commission
meeting, but the applicant subsequently appealed the decision to the City Council. The City
Council granted the appeal on October 16, 2016.
The primary changes to the map includes the removal of the interior C Street and
recapturing that area for larger lots at the center of the site, and incrementally reducing the
width of lots 42-46 so that the cumulative gain is one additional lot (from 65 to 66) on the
site.
This 66-lot residential development will be built to Skye Canyon R-1 (Single Family
Residential) standards in accordance with the approved Land Use Plan. Staff recommends
approval of this map request.

ANALYSIS
The subject property is part of the Skye Canyon Master Plan Area, which is governed by a
Development Agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las Vegas, as well as
the Skye Canyon Development Standards. This map was approved at the September 13, 2016
Planning Commission meeting, but was subsequently appealed by the applicant and heard by
City Council on October 16, 2016. The City Council granted the appeal, and the Planning
Commission will now reconsider the revised map request.
The Skye Canyon Land Use Plan designates the subject property as L (Residential Low), which
allows up to 15 residential units per gross acre with an average of 5.49 units per acre. The
proposed density of 3.86 dwelling units per unit falls within the maximum allowed. The dwelling
units will be constructed to the Skye Canyon R-1 (Single Family Residential) standard, which
call for a single family detached product with a minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet. All
proposed lot sizes are greater than 6,435 square feet, which exceeds the district minimums. The
primary changes to the map includes the removal of the interior C Street and recapturing that
area for larger lots at the center of the site, and incrementally reducing the width of lots 42-46 so
that the cumulative gain is one additional lot (from 65 to 66) on the site. The minimum lot width
FS

TMP-65809 [PRJ-65788]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

for the Kyle R-1 (Single Family Residential) district is 40 feet, and the site exceeds this
requirement. As this site is part of a master plan with its own improvement standards, it is not
subject to Title 19.04 street section requirements; however, it must comply with the applicable
Skye Canyon street sections. The correct street sections have been included on the map in
accordance with the Skye Canyon Village Street and Trail Exhibit.
The submitted east/west cross section depicts maximum natural grade greater than two percent
across the site. Per the Skye Canyon Development Standards, retaining walls with a maximum
height of six feet are allowed along the perimeter of the site. Eight-foot retaining walls are shown
along both the east/west and north/south perimeter sections. A condition of approval has been
added to ensure compliance with the applicable Sky Canyon R-1 (Single Family Residential)
wall standards, including wall step backs if necessary.

Staff Report Page One
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow an existing accessory structure (Class II)
[detached patio cover] with a 10-foot corner side yard setback where 15 feet is the minimum
required in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district at 7703 Calm Waters Street.

ISSUES

The R-1 zoning district requires accessory structures to have a minimum corner side yard
setback of 15 feet. The applicant is proposing a 10-foot corner side yard setback for an
existing detached patio cover.

ANALYSIS
The existing accessory structure is located in the southwest corner of the subject property. While
the applicant fails to meet the corner side yard setback requirement, the existing accessory
structure does meet the setback requirement from the property line shared by the adjacent
landowner. The existing accessory structure is not visible from the street and is buffered by an
existing wall and landscaping. Approval of the applicants request will not negatively affect the
subject site or surrounding area. As such, the variance request is reasonable and staff
recommends approval with conditions.

FINDINGS (VAR-66741)
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:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
CS

VAR-66741 [PRJ-66727]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
The applicant has provided sufficient evidence that the need for a setback variance is a unique
situation and that its approval will not pose any nuisance to the subject property or the
surrounding area. The existing accessory structure meets the setback requirement from the
shared property line of the adjacent landowner, and the structure is buffered from the street by an
existing wall and landscaping. Therefore, staff finds that the applicants request is within the
realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant has proposed a Major Amendment to approved Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-60891) and Special Use Permit (SUP-61367) for a proposed 3,400 square-foot expansion
in floor area at 997 North Bruce Street and 1600 Gragson Avenue.

ISSUES
A Major Amendment to a previously approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR60891) is required for the proposed 3,400 square-foot expansion to the existing
Warehouse, Office and Banquet facility.
A Major Amendment to a previously approved Special Use Permit (SUP-61367) is
required for an increase in the number of required parking spaces on-site.
Proposed perimeter landscaping will not be affected by this request.

ANALYSIS
On October 13th, 2015 the Planning Commission approved Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-60891) and Special Use Permit (SUP-61367). These two entitlements approved a proposed
26,536 square-foot warehouse, office and banquet facility with a waiver to allow a ten-foot
landscape buffer on a portion of the north and east perimeters where fifteen feet is the minimum
required on the subject site. They also approved an alternative parking standard to allow 92
parking spaces where 149 spaces are required for the proposed use. It was established with this
review that the existing banquet facility located on site would remain at is existing size of 3,030
square feet and that no additional Special Use Permit would be required to continue that use
onsite.
On August 9th, 2016 the Planning Commission approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR65298) and Special Use Permit (SUP-65297), which served as a Major Amendment to the
previously approved entitlements. These two entitlements proposed added 5,948 square feet of
space to the proposed warehouse, office and banquet facility resulting in a total of 32,484 square
feet. Additionally, the alternative parking standard was amended to allow 95 parking spaces
where 155 parking spaces are required for the proposed uses on-site.
The applicant has proposed a 3,400 square-foot expansion to the proposed office floor area on
the second floor on the proposed facility, which will now bring the proposed new structure to
35,884 square feet. The applicant has indicated on the submitted plans that the proposed
expansion is the result of a mezzanine being filled in which will result in additional office floor

JB

area on the second floor of the building. As the proposed expansion intensifies the parking
requirements on the subject site, a Major Amendment is required for Site Development Plan
Review (SDR-60891) and Special Use Permit (SUP-61367).
Under Title 19.12, the proposed uses would normally require 166 parking spaces. In this case,
the applicants justification letter states that the ITE publication entitled parking Generation
4th Edition was consulted to determine the parking rate for the facility; it also mentioned that the
majority of the clients who use this facility banquet facility will be bussed to the site. The
proposed 96 parking spaces are adequate to accommodate employees, volunteers and visitors to
the campus. Staff supports the number of parking spaces being provided for this user under the
Alternative Parking Standard.
This parcel is currently served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD). Civil and
plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire flow
verification.
This project will continue to have a positive visual effect on the campus and surrounding
neighborhood as well as providing enhanced services for the visually impaired members of the
community. This project is well designed and appropriate for the location. Staff recommends
approval, with conditions.

FINDINGS (SUP-66792)
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:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land
uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed expansion of the Warehouse area remains compatible with the surrounding
land uses. The reduced number of parking spaces provided will not have a negative impact
on the area as most of the clients visiting the site utilize public and/or mass transit.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The site is suitable for the proposed expanded Warehouse, Office and Banquet Facility
uses with the reduced parking.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.

JB

SUP-66792 and SDR-66794 [PRJ-66746]


Staff Report Page Three
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Primary access to the site is off Bruce Street, a Secondary Collector Street that is designed
to accommodate traffic generated by this project. A secondary access is located on
Gragson Avenue, a Minor Collector Street. This project will not generate additional traffic
than already exists with the campus.
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 an Alternative Parking Standard will not compromise the public health,
safety or welfare.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The Special Use Permit is being utilized to deviate from the parking requirements found in
Title 19.12; therefore the conditions of the proposed use will be met with the approval of
this application.

FINDINGS (SDR-66794)
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:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed building will remain compatible with the surrounding area, as it is part of an
established non-profit center and is adjacent to similar civic and public uses. All new
onsite landscaping, parking, and internal access will enhance or match the existing, which
will remain.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed improvements to the existing Blind Center Campus are consistent with the
previously approved development and landscaping standards under the C-V (Civic)
development requirements. A Waiver was approved by Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-60891) for the existing landscape buffer widths along the east and a portion of the
north perimeters.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use located at 6640 North Durango Drive, Suite #180, which is presently vacant.

ISSUES

A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is permitted in the T-C (Town Center)


zoning district [UC-TC (Urban Center Mixed-Use Town Center) and MS-TC (Main Street
Town Center) Special Land Use Designation] with the approval of a Special Use Permit.

ANALYSIS
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use. The subject property is a part of an established Shopping Center which is
currently zoned as T-C (Town Center) with a special land use designation of UC-TC (Urban
Center Mixed-Use Town Center) and MS-TC (Main Street Town Center). The proposed
suite location is currently vacant, but was previously occupied with the same use. On January 8,
2013, the Planning Commission approved Special Use Permit (SUP-47545). A business license
for Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment was marked out of business on August 31, 2015.
Pursuant to Title 19.16.110(P)(2)(a), the Special Use Permit expired March 3, 2016
A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is permitted in the T-C (Town Center) zoning
district within the special land use designation of UC-TC (Urban Center Mixed-Use Town
Center) with an approval of a Special Use Permit. Additionally, the following analysis is
required:
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is defined as An Establishment whose
license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers only for
consumption on the premise where the same is sold. The proposed use meets the definition
because it will be in conjunction with the Restaurant.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Except as otherwise provide, any beer/wine/cooler on-sale establishment (hereinafter
establishment) must be more than 400 feet from any church/house of worship, school,
individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.

RG

SUP-66648 [PRJ-64702]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

There are no Church/House of Worships, Schools, Individual Care Centers licensed for
more than 12 children or City Parks within 400 feet of the subject site.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation 3 below, the distances referred to in
Regulation 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between two
property lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment which is closest
to the existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the other being the property
line of that existing use which is closest to the proposed establishment. The distance shall
be measured in a straight line without regard to intervening obstacles. For purposes of
measurement, the term property line refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and
does not include the property line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or
b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for on-site parking
and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation described in
Regulation 1.
There are no Church/House of Worship, School, Individual Care Centers licensed for
more than 12 children or City Parks within 400 feet of the subject site.
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80 acres in
size, the minimum distances referred to in Regulation 1 shall be measured in a straight
line:
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.
Not applicable, since the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use will be
located in a parcel that is not 80 acres of size. The Clark County Assessors Office lists
the subject property at 20.78 acres.

Establishment for a proposed restaurant to be located at 330 South Rampart Boulevard, Suite
#160, within an existing Mixed-Use Development. While a Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale
Establishment is a conditional use in the C-2 (General Commercial) Zoning District, a Special
Use Permit is required when the proposed location cannot meet the required distance separation
from a City Park. The proposed location of the Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale Establishment use is
approximately 141 feet from a City Park.

ISSUES

A Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale Establishment is allowed as a Conditional Use in the C-2


(General Commercial) zoning district. A Special Use Permit with a waiver is required for a
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment when the use is within 400 feet of a City Park.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to establish a Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale Establishment in a
proposed restaurant. The subject site is zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and is located within
an existing Mixed-Use Development. The proposed restaurant will have 6,355 square feet of
indoor seating and 204 square feet of outdoor seating. The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use is a conditional use within the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. The
applicant must obtain a Special Use Permit with a waiver because the subject site is located
within 400 feet of a City Park. The proposed site is located approximately 141 feet from Angel
Park. Staff supports the request as the Mixed-Use Development already contains similar
alcohol-related uses, including multiple taverns and a restaurant with service bar, which operate
in a compatible and harmonious manner with the surrounding uses. The addition of the proposed
use will not negatively affect the area.
Per Title 19, the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is defined as An establishment
whose license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers only for
consumption on the premises where the same is sold. The proposed use meets this definition as
the applicant intends to operate a restaurant with the option to sell alcoholic beverages to be
consumed on site. No additional parking is necessary beyond what is required for the principal
use on the site. The proposed restaurant will be subject to the parking requirements of the
approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-10770).

The Conditional Use Requirements for this use include:


1. Except as otherwise provided, any beer/wine/cooler on-sale establishment (hereinafter
establishment) must be more than 400 feet from any church/house of worship, school,
individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park. The proposed site
does not meet this requirement as it is located 141 feet from a City Park.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation 3 below, the distances referred to in
Regulation 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between two
property lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment which is closest
to the existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the other being the property
line of that existing use which is closest to the proposed establishment. The distance shall
be measured in a straight line without regard to intervening obstacles. For purposes of
measurement, the term property line refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and
does not include the property line of: a) Any leasehold parcel; or b) Any parcel which
lacks access to a public street or has no area for on-site parking and which has been
created so as to avoid the distance limitation described in Regulation 1. The requirements
of this condition were used to determine the distance of the City Park from the proposed
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment.
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80 acres in
size, the minimum distances referred to in Regulation 1 shall be measured in a straight
line: 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. N/A
4. The minimum distance requirements in Regulation 1 do not apply to: a) 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; or b) A proposed
establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space. N/A
5. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50. A condition of approval has been placed on the Special Use to ensure this
requirement is met.
The proposed use is located within 141 feet of a city park to the northeast where a 400-foot
minimum distance separation is required. As noted in the applicants justification letter, there are
two physical barriers, including a fence and drainage channel that block off direct pedestrian and

vehicular access from the park to the mixed-use development. The request to allow a 141-foot
distance separation from a City Park use represents a 65% reduction from the required 400-foot
separation required by Title 19. Staff has determined that since there is no reasonable means of
access from the City Park to the Mixed-Use development within the 141-foot distance
separation, the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale establishment will have adequate separation
from the existing City Park land use. 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
and alcohol license. It has been determined that the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale
Establishment 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-66822)
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:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land
uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale Establishment use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with neighboring commercial and residential
uses within the existing Mixed-Use Development.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The subject site is located within an existing Mixed-Use Development that is physically
suitable for the intensity of the proposed land use.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The subject site has adequate access from Rampart Boulevard, a 100-foot Primary Arterial
and Alta Drive, an 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
The request is for a 54,000 square-foot Private School, Primary on 5.48 acres on the west side of
the Shaumber Road alignment, approximately 330 feet north of Grand Teton Drive.

ISSUES

The Skye Canyon Development standards identify private schools as a permitted use on
parcels designated as Kyle PF (Public Facilities). Staff recommends approval of the Site
Development Plan Review request.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is designated as Kyle PF (Public Facility) and is adjacent to Kyle ML (MediumLow). When adjacent to residentially designated parcels, the Skye Canyon Development
Standards require that development on Kyle PF (Public Facility) parcels adhere to the C-V (Civic)
zoning standards outlined in Title 19.10.020. Title 19.10.020 states that development adjacent to
residential must adhere to the height standards of Title19.06.060, the landscape buffer standards of
19.08.040(F), and the parking standards of LVMC 19.08.110. The site meets all applicable
development standards as required by Title 19.10.020.
The site plan depicts a 54,000 square-foot Private School, Primary on the west side of the
Shaumber Road alignment, approximately 330 feet north of Grand Teton Drive. Site access is
provided via a drive from Shumber Road and an interior circular drive facilitates student drop-off
and pick-up. The parking is located at the northern portion of the site, and 137 parking spaces have
been provided where 135 are required. The building meets all applicable setback requirements
and is located generally at the center of the subject parcel. A sports field, sports court, and play
areas are located within the southern portion of the site.
The landscape plan depicts landscape buffer areas along the north, south and west property lines
that exceed the minimums required by the landscape buffer standards of Title 19.08.040. The site
provides parking lot landscaping in excess of the landscape parking requirements of Title
19.08.110. Trees depicted on the landscape plan consist of ten different species of 24-inch box
trees and a number of one and five-gallon shrubs. Along the east property line, the Sky Canyon
Development Standards require the installation of streetscape improvements that are consistent
with Detail H of the Sky Canyon Street and Trail Section Exhibit. A 12-foot landscape buffer,

Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

eight-foot sidewalk and five-foot landscaped amenity zone back of curb is required within a 25foot common lot. The landscape plan indicates that the streetscape will be installed by others, and
a condition of approval has been included to ensure that the proper streetscape treatment is
installed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any building on the site.
The building elevations depict a 34-foot tall building with a painted/textured plaster finish and
metal panel and stone veneer accents. The floor plan depicts 44 classrooms with associated
administrative and faculty areas.

FINDINGS (SDR-66779)

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review for a proposed 7,428 square-foot Auto
Parts (New & Rebuilt) store on an undeveloped portion of an existing 2.68-acre parcel located at
2100 Fremont Street.

ISSUES

Per the Downtown Centennial Plan threshold requirements the proposed 7,428 squarefoot Auto Parts (New & Rebuilt) store meets the requirement for a Site Development
Plan Review (SDR).
Waivers of the Downtown Centennial Plan are required for setback, architectural design,
and parking lot screening standards. Staff supports this request.
An Exception is required to provide seven landscape islands and seven 24-inch box trees
where eleven landscape islands with eleven 24-inch box trees are required. Staff supports
this request.

ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to develop an Auto Parts (New & Rebuilt) store on a portion of a
2.68 acre lot located at 2100 Fremont Street within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan
East Village District. The portion of the lot proposed for development is a 0.69 acre portion of
the overall 2.68 acre parcel. The subject site is adjacent to Charleston Boulevard, in the
southwest corner of the overall site. The zoning designation of the subject site is C-2 (General
Commercial), which allows the proposed Auto Parts (New & Rebuilt) store as a conditional land
use.
The Minimum Conditional Use Requirements for this use include:
Requirement 1:

If an installation service is offered, the service shall be restricted to the


installation of auto accessories and minor parts only, including stereos, car
alarms, other accessories, batteries, windshield wipers, hoses, fuses, lights,
radios and similar minor elements, and excludes engine, transmission and
differential service, repair or installation.
As indicated by the applicant in the justification letter, no installation
services will be offered at this location. A Condition of Approval has been
added to ensure compliance.
NE

SDR-66808 [PRJ-66574]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Requirement 2:

All installation work shall be done within a completely enclosed building.


The floor plan submitted with this application does not demonstrate
service bays where installation services could be provided. In addition, the
applicant has indicated in the justification letter that installation services
will not be provided at this location. A Condition of Approval has been
added to ensure compliance.

Requirement 3:

No dismantling, re-manufacturing or rebuilding shall be permitted.


A Condition of Approval has been added to ensure compliance with this
condition.

Per the Downtown Centennial Plan threshold requirements, the development of a new principal
structure on-site requires a Site Development Plan Review (SDR). Since the Downtown
Centennial Plan streetscape standard will not be implemented due to existing conditions, a signed
Covenant Running with the Land will be required for all future streetscape and civil
improvements because of the partial block frontage. The applicant has also requested an
Exception to provide seven landscape islands and seven 24-inch box trees where eleven
landscape islands with eleven 24-inch box trees are required. The deficiency occurs with the
requirement of a tree at the end of each row of parking spaces. One row of parking spaces ends at
the trash enclosure, which does not allow room for a landscape island with a tree; while the
remaining three rows of parking spaces terminate at sidewalk and handicap pathways. Staff is
supporting this request.
The northern portion of the site adjacent to Fremont Street is currently developed, with a vacant
building located on this portion of the site. The proposed building will be located on the
southeast portion of the site adjacent to Charleston Boulevard. The proposed structure is 21 feet
tall with a corniced roof line. The majority of the building elevation is finished with concrete
masonry unit (CMU) that will be finished in contrasting neutral colors such as latte and
portabello. The applicant has requested a Waiver to allow no arcades, awnings, or canopies on
the ground floor faade; to not align the first story faade with the front property line; and to not
provide the required parking lot screening (fence) as required by the Downtown Centennial Plan.
Staff finds these Waiver request to be minimal and will not negatively affect the surrounding
area.
The wall signs depicted as part of this application are not a part of the Site Development Plan
Review, and will be reviewed separately as part of the building permit review process for a wall
sign.
The proposed floor plan depicts an open sales floor area with a back-of-house area for back
stock. The back-of-house area also contains two restrooms and an office for employees. The

NE

SDR-66808 [PRJ-66574]
Staff Report Page Three
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

proposed floor plan does not depict an area for installation of auto parts, and the applicant has
indicated in the justification letter that there will not be installation activities at this location. One
of the Conditions of Approval for an Auto Parts (New & Rebuilt) use is for all installation work
to be performed within an enclosed building. Since this condition is unable to be satisfied by the
proposed configuration of the building, a Condition of Approval has been added prohibiting the
ability to install automotive parts at this location, ensuring compliance with this condition.
The landscape plan demonstrates a 15-foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to Charleston
Boulevard, along the south perimeter of the subject site; and a 10-foot landscape buffer along a
portion of the west perimeter, being mindful of the existing power easement also located on the
west perimeter of the subject site. The proposed landscaping buffers and interior parking lot area
provide 24-inch box Velvet Mesquite trees with Texas Ranger shrubs. The Downtown
Centennial Plan requires four, five-gallon shrubs for every required 24-inch box tree. The
applicant has proposed 15 Velvet Mesquite trees with 39 Texas Ranger shrubs. A Condition of
Approval has been added to ensure the appropriate amount of shrubs (60) are installed.
The subject site is located on the periphery of the Downtown Centennial Plan East Village
district, in an area that can accommodate more traditional site design that brings development
away from the street frontage. The subject site is currently accessed by Fremont Street from the
north and Charleston Boulevard from the south, which are both classified as Primary Arterial
streets by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. In a report prepared by the Department of
Public Works, Traffic Division, the proposed project would produce approximately 460 trips per
day on Fremont Street, Eastern Avenue, and Charleston Boulevard. Currently, Fremont Street is
at approximately 35 percent of capacity, Eastern is at approximately 67 percent of capacity, and
Charleston Boulevard is at approximately 82 percent of capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, the
proposed development would add approximately 44 additional vehicles, or approximately three
vehicles every four minutes.
The applicant has requested Waivers of the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan setback and
permanent parking lot screening standards to allow the ground level faade to not align with the
front property line and to allow no parking lot screening fence where such is required. Staff has
determined the proposed land use has met the minimum Conditional Use Requirements set forth
by Title 19.12, and that the requested Waivers will have minimal negative impact to
development surrounding the area and that the proposed development is appropriate for this
portion of the Downtown Centennial Plan; therefore, staff recommends approval of this
application with conditions.

FINDINGS (SDR-66808)
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:

NE

SDR-66808 [PRJ-66574]
Staff Report Page Four
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed commercial development is located within the Downtown Centennial Plan
East Village District and will serve as a retail use that is complementary to the other retail,
restaurant, and general personal service type uses in the neighborhood and is the type of
land use that is encouraged in the Downtown Centennial Plan.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
This project is consistent with the General Plan and the uses allowed in the Downtown
Centennial Plan. However, it is not consistent with the building setback and parking lot
screening standards in the Downtown Centennial Plan.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
Site access is currently provided from Fremont Street and Charleston Boulevard, which are
Primary Arterial streets as designated in the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. These
streets are sufficient in size to accommodate the needs of the proposed use. Once
completed, the proposed project would only have access from Charleston Boulevard.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The building materials proposed include EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System),
which provides an insulated, water-resistant finish; CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) with a
split face finish; and a pre-engineered building sheet metal roofing system. Velvet
Mesquite trees, Texas Ranger shrubbery, and three-quarter inch size gravel ground cover
has been proposed for the landscape areas. These are appropriate building and landscape
materials for the area and the City.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and aesthetic


features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance; create an
orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are harmonious and compatible
with development in the area;
The proposed building elevations have been designed with articulated roof lines, and
contrasting colors and materials to prevent blank and expressionless walls. These
architectural features create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment.

NE

SDR-66808 [PRJ-66574]
Staff Report Page Five
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The proposed development is subject to building permit reviews during the permitting
phase, as well as physical site inspections during construction; therefore, appropriate
measures will be taken to protect the health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review and Variance for a proposed 8,800 squarefoot Office (Medical or Dental) and Clinic with Waivers to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer
along the south perimeter and an 11-foot buffer along the north perimeter where 15 feet is
required on 1.21 acres at the northeast corner of Centennial Parkway and Tenaya Way.

ISSUES

The applicant has proposed to amend the General Plan land use designation of the property
from R (Rural Density Residential) to SC (Service Commercial).
The applicant has proposed to rezone the property from U (Undeveloped) to C-1 (Limited
Commercial).
The site is located east of the Town Center Master Plan area. Objective 2.3 of the Centennial
Hills Sector Plan protects existing residential neighborhoods from sprawling commercial and
office development by encasing such uses within the Town Center area. This request does
not meet the intent of the Centennial Hills Sector Plan.
A Waiver from Title 19.08.070 has been requested, to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer
along the south perimeter and an 11-foot buffer along the north perimeter where 15 feet is
required. Staff recommends denial of this request.
A Waiver from Title 19.08.040 has been requested, to not orient the building to the corner of
the site towards the right-of-way where such is required. Staff recommends denial of this
request.
A Variance (VAR-66498) is required to allow a 10-foot residential adjacency setback where
81 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of this request.
The Office (Medical or Dental) and Clinic uses are permitted in the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district.

ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-66499) to develop the
subject site with two 4,400 square-foot buildings for a proposed Medical Office and Clinic on
1.21 acres at the northeast corner of Centennial Parkway and Tenaya Way. Accompanying
Waivers are required to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer along the south perimeter and an 11foot buffer along the north perimeter where 15 feet is required, and to not orient the building to
the corner of the site where such is required. The subject site is located in the Centennial Hills
Sector of the General Plan and has a current land use designation of R (Rural Density

Residential) and zoning designation of U (Undeveloped). The applicant has submitted a request
for a General Plan Amendment (GPA-66496) from R (Rural Density Residential) to SC (Service
Commercial), a Rezoning (ZON-66497) from U (Undeveloped) to C-1 (Limited Commercial)
and a Variance (VAR-66498) to address residential adjacency setbacks for the proposed Office
(Medical or Dental) and Clinic land use.
An Office (Medical or Dental) use is described in Tile 19.12 as: A professional office for the
administration of professional medical, psychological or dental care, including examinations,
screenings and minor outpatient surgical procedures. This use does not include a facility that
provides housing for individuals, a clinic, or any other facility that is specifically defined in this
Title. A Clinic use is described in Tile 19.12 as: A facility which is occupied and used for the
purpose of providing dental or medical care, and which regularly provides any of those services
to the general public on an emergency basis or without appointment. This use does not include a
hospital or a facility which provides for the overnight care or overnight stay of patients.
The proposed site design complies with all applicable Title 19.08.070 site design requirements
pertaining to building setbacks, which requires a 10-foot front yard setback, 10-foot corner side
setback, 10-foot side yard setback and a 20-foot rear setback. The submitted elevations show a 27foot building height adjacent to the existing R-E [Rural Estates Residential (Clark County
Designation)] zoned single-family residence located to the east, which does not comply with
residential adjacency standards outlined in Title 19.06.040. The applicant has requested a Variance
(VAR-66498) to allow a 10-foot residential adjacency setback where 81 feet is required. The
proposed 8,800 square-foot development will cover approximately 16% of the 1.21 acre site. The
submitted building elevations indicate the building faades will have a tan and orange stucco finish,
with slate tile veneer accents.
The site will provide 44 total parking spaces with three ADA parking spaces, which matches the
44 spaces required by Title 19.12.010 for a 4,400 square-foot Office (Medical or Dental) and
4,400 square-foot Clinic. The parking area also provides space for one loading zone and one
trash enclosure, which have been designed to comply with Title 19.08 standards.
All interior parking lot landscaping and landscape buffer planting materials have been designed
to comply with code requirements for spacing and quantities; except for the landscaping buffer
area adjacent to the northern and southern perimeter of the property where the applicant has
requested a Waiver to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer along the south perimeter and an 11foot buffer along the north perimeter where 15 feet is required. The primary tree species being
utilized are the 24 box Mexican Palo Verde, 24 box Shoestring Acacia, 24 box Holly Oak,
24 box Ash and 24 box African Sumac trees. There is also a multi-use transportation trail
which runs along the southern property line, which will have a five-foot amenity zone and a 10foot detached sidewalk.
Staff has determined the proposed project is not compatible with surrounding development in the
area, as demonstrated by the associated Waivers and Variances. Therefore, staff is recommends
denial of this project with conditions.

Staff Report Page Three
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (GPA-66496)
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:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible
with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The proposed SC (Service Commercial) land use designation for this site is compatible
with the O (Office) designation on the parcel directly to the north of this site and with the
OP (Office Professional) designation on the adjacent parcels to the east in Clark Countys
jurisdiction. However, the intensity of the proposed amendment is not compatible with the
RN (Rural Neighborhood Clark County) designation on properties north and south of
Bilpar Road that make up this neighborhood.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be compatible with
the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
Approval of the proposed amendment to SC (Service Commercial) would allow for a C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning designation. Staff finds that this zoning district would be
compatible with the zoning on the parcel directly to the north, but would not be compatible
with the adjacent low density single-family residential uses in the surrounding area.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General Plan
Amendment; and
The area west of this site is beginning to develop as a large multi-family residential
development with access to commercial uses. Eastbound Centennial Parkway narrows to a
two-lane thoroughfare at the intersection of Tenaya Way. Tenaya Way provides vehicular
access over the CC 215 Beltway and can accommodate the increased capacity for traffic
generated by commercial uses on the subject site. Some utility infrastructure is not yet in
place and would be required as the area becomes more developed.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and policies
that include approved neighborhood plans.
Because this site is not located within the Town Center Plan Area, staff finds that this
request is in conflict with Section 3.2 of the Centennial Hills Sector Plan, which states
that the intent of the Centennial Hills Town Center concept is to prevent the sprawl of
commercial and office projects into developing residential neighborhoods by centrally
locating the Centennial Town Center around the Beltway/Highway 95 interchange.
The concentration of economic activities within the Town Center area will aid in the

preservation of the rural lifestyle which exists in most of the residential neighborhoods
located within the Centennial Hills area.

FINDINGS (ZON-66497)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposal conforms to the General Plan.


If the companion application for a General Plan Amendment (GPA-66496) to SC (Service
Commercial) land use designation is approved, the proposed Rezoning to C-1 (Limited
Commercial) would 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.
If approved, the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would allow for most retail
shopping and personal services. Staff has determined this zoning district does not allow
enough of a transition from the rural neighborhood to the north and east of the subject site.

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The Centennial Hills Sector Plan identifies the U.S. 95/I-215 interchange west of the
subject site as the area where commercial development in the Northwest should be
centered in order to aid the preservation of the rural lifestyle that already exists in this area.
The requested rezoning will therefore not meet any identified existing need for
commercially zoned property in this area.

4.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
The abutting streets (Centennial Parkway and Tenaya Way) are planned as a 60-foot wide
Local Street and 80-foot Secondary Collector respectively according to the Master Plan of
Streets and Highways. Each would carry adequate capacity for traffic generated by
medical office/clinic-intensity commercial uses on the subject site.

FINDINGS (VAR-66498)
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:

1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by requesting to orient the proposed structures adjacent to
existing single-family land uses. Alternative building placement oriented towards the corner of
the site along Tenaya Way would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. 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.

FINDINGS (SDR-66499)
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:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed Office (Medical or Dental) and Clinic use is not compatible with the
adjacent residential development in the area, as evidenced by the associated Waivers
and Variances. Staff has determined that the proposed land uses are too intense and not
compatible with the RN (Rural Neighborhood Clark County) designation on properties
located northeast of the subject site that make up this neighborhood.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;

GPA-66496, ZON-66497, VAR-66498 and SDR-66499 [PRJ-66417]


Staff Report Page Six
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

The proposed Office (Medical or Dental) and Clinic development is consistent with the
General Plan. However, the proposed design does not comply with all Title 19
development standards. The applicant has requested Waivers to allow a zero-foot
landscape buffer along the south perimeter and an 11-foot buffer along the north perimeter
where 15 feet is required and to not orient the building to the corner of the site where such
is required. In addition, the applicant has also requested a Variance to allow a 10-foot
residential adjacency setback where 81 feet is required. Staff has determined the associated
Waivers and Variance will have a negative impact to the overall development.
3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
Access to the site will be provided by Centennial Parkway a 60-foot wide Local Street, and
Tenaya Way an 80-foot Secondary Collector according to the Master Plan of Streets and
Highways and are sufficient in size to carry the minimal amount of traffic this proposed
development will generate.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The project design and style are appropriate for the subject location and will be
harmonious with buildings in the surrounding area. The submitted building elevations
indicate the building faades will have a tan and orange stucco finish, with slate tile veneer
accents. The primary tree species being utilized are the 24 box Mexican Palo Verde, 24
box Shoestring Acacia, 24 box Holly Oak, 24 box Ash and 24 box African Sumac
trees, which are consistent with the Southern Nevada Regional Plan Coalition Regional
Plant List.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and aesthetic


features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance; create an
orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are harmonious and compatible
with development in the area;
The design characteristics of the proposed building elevations are not unsightly and are
compatible with development in the area. The proposed materials are suitable for the
surrounding commercial and residential uses and the desert environment.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The proposed commercial development will be subject to inspections in order to protect
the public health, safety and general welfare by City staff.

November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Neighborhood Meeting
The following concerns were raised:
The neighbors indicated they would prefer homes to be built on the
subject site.
One neighbor preferred development over a vacant lot.
The neighbors feel the approval and construction of the apartment
complex across the street has now opened the door for commercial to
take over the area and that the neighborhood will forever be changed,
and no longer rural.
One neighbor indicated concern over no street lighting being installed
in the area. Did not like individuals walking in the dark during
evening/night hours.
Questions were raised over the hours of operation of the proposed
facility, applicant indicated that they did not intend to lease to a 24hour operation.
The neighbors expressed concern over the construction of the apartment
complex on the corner of Centennial Parkway and Tenaya Way. The
neighbors indicated they were promised lush landscape buffers and the
planting materials going in now are not sufficient, as well as a wrought iron
fence being attached to the neighbors rear yard block walls. Staff indicated
that the issues raised would be investigated by Planning and the Code
Enforcement division.

Staff Report Page One
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to develop a shopping center on 9.27 acres of undeveloped land at the
southeast corner of Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way. The center would be anchored by a
grocery store and have three in-line multitenant buildings. A corner convenience store with fuel
pumps and two additional pad sites are also proposed. The applications were held in abeyance at
the request of the applicant in order to revise the site plan and landscape plan. As a result, the
waiver request to allow five-foot perimeter landscape buffers along the north and west property
lines is no longer needed.

ISSUES

The previously requested Waiver to allow a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer along a
portion of the west property line and a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer along a portion of
the north property line where 15 feet is required is no longer needed, as the applicant has
submitted revised site and landscape plans that indicate 15-foot buffer widths. The redesign
reduced parking by seven spaces, but the overall site will remain in conformance with Title
19 parking requirements.
A trash enclosure that had been located in direct view of the Deer Springs way right-of-way
was relocated behind the proposed car wash vacuum bays and screened by landscaping to
conform to Title 19 commercial development standards.
Approval of a Variance is necessary to allow a 15-foot rear yard setback for the Shops A
building where 20 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of the Variance request.
No landscape buffer is proposed along the east perimeter due to anticipation of a future
commercial site on the adjacent lot, which is part of the same proposed commercial
subdivision. Staff recommends denial of the associated Waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer along a portion of the
south property line where eight feet is required. Staff recommends denial of the waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow buildings to not be oriented to the corner and street frontages
where such is required. Staff recommends denial of the waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow car wash bays to face a public right-of-way (Deer Springs
Way) where such is not allowed. Staff recommends denial of the waiver.
An Exception is required to allow 89 parking lot trees where 102 trees and accompanying
shrubs are required. Staff recommends denial of the Exception.
Additional trees are required within the perimeter landscape buffers. An Exception was not
requested. A condition of approval addresses this deficiency, which is due to spacing trees
too far apart.

A Car Wash, Full Service use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Grocery Store with Alcohol is a conditional use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district. All conditions can be met by the proposed use.
A Drive-Through is a conditional use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. All
conditions can be met by the proposed use.
Two parking rows face the perimeter streets. Per Title 19.08.110, these rows must be
screened from adjacent roadways in a manner acceptable to the Department of Planning. A
condition of approval addresses this.

ANALYSIS
Development within this site is subject to the requirements of LVMC Title 19, specifically 19.08
Commercial Development Standards and C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district standards
and 19.12 regarding permitted uses. Several changes were made to the site and landscape plans
on 10/20/16 to bring certain aspects of these plans into conformance with Title 19. The portions
of the north and west perimeter buffers that were less than 15 feet were widened to 15 feet. In
order to free up additional area for these buffers, seven parking spaces were eliminated, one
drive aisle was narrowed and the sidewalk adjacent to Shops C was narrowed. The plans were
also corrected to remove areas of the parking lot that were within the north side of the Inyo
Avenue cul-de-sac, which is required to be improved by condition of the related Tentative Map
(TMP-64814). As a result of these changes, there will not be any excess parking spaces
available for this development in the future.
The site is located at the intersection of two major streets (Hualapai Way and Deer Springs
Way), both of which will be improved adjacent to the development. Freeway access to Clark
County 215 is available at the Hualapai Way interchange. Parcels are undeveloped in every
direction from the site. The Providence Master Planned Community is located to the west, an
undeveloped property zoned for commercial uses is located to the east, the Clark County 215
Beltway right-of-way is located to the south, and undeveloped low density residential parcels in
both the City and County jurisdictions are located to the north of Deer Springs Way.
A General Plan Amendment (GPA-64811) to change the land use designation to SC (Service
Commercial) and a Rezoning (ZON-64812) to C-1 (Limited Commercial) on Assessors Parcel
Number 125-19-301-001 were approved by the City Council on 09/07/16, as well as a two-lot
Tentative Map (TMP-64814) for a commercial subdivision that spans this site and the lot to the

east of this site. This commercial development is proposed on the westernmost commercial lot
only. A final map must still be recorded to consolidate the existing parcels that make up this
property. Improvements on Inyo Avenue were deferred until the time of development through
TMP-64814.
Use Definitions and Conditions per LVMC Title 19
Grocery Store With Alcohol
A Grocery Store is defined by Title 19.18 as A business establishment which occupies all of the
business premises of a building or a portion of the business premises of a building which is
segregated physically or spatially from the rest of the business premises, and which contains
more than five thousand square feet of floor space, exclusive of warehouse and office space, for
the display and sale of foodstuffs, whether fresh, frozen, canned or packaged, and may include
the sales of other products, including non-food items, alcoholic beverages (if licensed by the City
for the sale of alcoholic beverages) and pharmaceuticals, provided the sale of such
pharmaceuticals is incidental to the primary business of selling products other than
pharmaceuticals. The proposed grocery store would be located on the east side of the lot, would
contain 57,884 square feet and sell alcoholic beverages in the form of beer, wine and packaged
liquor.
When alcohol is sold, Title 19.12.070 describes this use as a Grocery Store:
1. Whose license to sell alcoholic beverages authorizes their sale to consumers only and not for
resale, in original sealed or corked containers, for consumption off the premises where the same
are sold; and
2. In which the sale of alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the grocery store use, and in which no
more than 10 percent of the retail floor space is regularly devoted to the display or
merchandising of alcoholic beverages. This use includes an establishment that provides onpremises wine, cordial and liqueur tasting if the licensee also holds a wine, cordial and liqueur
tasting license for that location.
This use is conditional in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. As this proposed
Grocery Store with Alcohol will contain greater than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space, the
minimum 400-foot distance separation requirements do not apply, although it currently meets
such requirements (i.e., from a church/house of worship, school, individual care center or city
park). All other conditional use regulations will be met by the proposed Grocery Store.
Drive-Through
Title 19.18 defines this use as the use of a dedicated drive lane that, incidental to a principal
use, provides access to a station, such as a window, door or mechanical device, from which
occupants of a motor vehicle receive or obtain a product or service. This use is conditional in

the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. Drive-throughs are proposed both around a
proposed automated car wash and fast food restaurant. Both stacking lanes will accommodate at
least six vehicles, as shown on the site plan.
Car Wash, Full Service
The Car Wash, Full Service use is defined as An establishment that provides for the washing,
cleaning, waxing or detailing of passenger vehicles, either by means of employees or by means
of automated or semi-automated methods of cleaning, or by a combination thereof. The
proposed use meets the definition, as an automated mechanism will be housed to the east of the
5,075 square-foot convenience store (General Retail Store) establishment for the purpose of
cleaning and waxing of vehicles. Two parking spaces are reserved for vacuuming of vehicles.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirement for this use is the following:
1. Each wash bay shall have a stacking lane that will accommodate at least six cars.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as a single wash bay will be provided with a
stacking lane that wraps around the proposed convenience store building and which
supports six vehicles in queuing position.
The use can be accessed from any of the driveways on the site; however, vehicles enter the 12foot wide wash bay drive-through lane from the west. The drive-through is adequately screened
from the adjacent parking area by landscaping consisting of shrubs and Mexican fan palms. The
wash bay faces Deer Springs Way, which requires a waiver through the accompanying Site
Development Plan Review.
Liquor Establishment (Tavern)
The Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is defined as a facility which sells alcoholic beverages
for consumption on the premises where the same are sold and authorizes the sale, to consumers
only and not for resale, of alcoholic beverages in original sealed or corked containers, for
consumption off the premises where the same are sold. The proposed use meets the definition,
as the establishment intends to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Pursuant to its general authority to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages, the City
Council declares that the public health, safety and general welfare of the City are best
promoted and protected by generally requiring both a minimum separation between
liquor establishments (tavern), and a minimum separation between a liquor establishment
(tavern) and certain other uses that should be protected from the impacts associated with

a liquor establishment (tavern). Therefore, except as otherwise provided below, no liquor


establishment (tavern) may be located within 1500 feet of any other liquor establishment
(tavern), church/house of worship, school, individual care center licensed for more than
12 children, or City park. (NONWAIVABLE)
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no protected uses within 1,500 feet
of the subject site.
2. The distance separation referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured with reference to
the shortest distance between two property lines, one being the property line of the
proposed liquor establishment (tavern) which is closest to the existing use to which the
measurement pertains, and the other being the property line of that existing use which is
closest to the proposed liquor establishment (tavern). The distance shall be measured in a
straight line without regard to intervening obstacles. (NONWAIVABLE)
Measurement is taken from the boundaries of the 9.27-acre commercial subdivision lot as
approved through TMP-64814.
3. 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 liquor establishment (tavern) 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:
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 liquor establishment (tavern) will have direct access
(both ingress and egress) from a street having a minimum right-ofway 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 liquor establishment (tavern) will
be located;
C. All parking spaces required by this Subchapter 19.12.070 for the
liquor establishment (tavern) use will be located on the same parcel
as the use; and

egress throughout the commercial subdivision. (NONWAIVABLE)
A commercial subdivision map is expected to be recorded that creates a 9.27-acre lot by
which measurement to protected uses is taken. Future record of survey lines may be
recorded that may or may not capture all measurement requirements in Subparagraphs
A-D.
4. 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 circumstance applies to the subject
establishment.
5. The distance separation requirement set forth in Requirement 1 may be waived in
accordance with the provisions of LVMC 19.12.050(C), but only in connection with a
proposed liquor establishment (tavern) that:
a. Will be located on a parcel within the C-V District, the Parkway Center District
within the Downtown Centennial Plan, the Gaming Enterprise Overlay District, or
the Downtown Casino Overlay District;
b. Will be located on a parcel or within a building that, pursuant to State law or City
ordinance, has been designated as an historic property, historic building, or

The proposed use is required to comply with this requirement as a condition of approval.
The proposed Tavern would be located in a 4,000 square-foot tenant space at the west end of the
Shops A building. All distance separation requirements are met by the proposed use. The
Tavern would contain two kitchens, a lounge with 22 seats and 15 machines and a dining area
with 28 seats. All minimum special use permit conditions can be met by the proposed Tavern.
Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment
The Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale use is defined by Title 19.18 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
the same are sold, and is operated in connection with a grocery store, drug store, convenience
store or specialty merchandise store. The proposed use meets the definition, as only beer, wine
and wine coolers are proposed to be sold in connection with a convenience store in their original
sealed containers for off-premises consumption. The floor plan indicates that beer, wine and
wine coolers would be located within a bank of coolers along the south side of the store.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Except as otherwise provided, no beer/wine/cooler off-sale establishment (hereinafter
establishment) shall be located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship, school,
individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park. (nonwaivable)
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no protected uses within 400 feet
of the subject site.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred to in
Requirement 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between two
property lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment which is closest
to the existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the other being the property
line of that existing use which is closest to the proposed establishment. The distance
shall be measured in a straight line without regard to intervening obstacles. For purposes
of measurement, the term property line refers to property lines of fee interest parcels
and does not include the property line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or
b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for onsite parking
and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation described in
Requirement 1. (nonwaivable)
Measurement is taken from the boundaries of the 9.27-acre commercial subdivision lot as
approved through TMP-64814.

3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80 acres in


size, the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured in a straight
line:
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.
(nonwaivable)
This requirement does not apply, as 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.
This requirement does not apply, as no waiver of distance separation is necessary.
5. The minimum distance requirements in Requirement 1 do not apply to:
a. An establishment which has a nonrestricted gaming license in connection with a
hotel having 200 or more guest rooms n or before July 1, 1992 or in connection
with a resort hotel having in excess of 200 guest rooms after July 1, 1992; or
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor
space.
Neither condition above applies to this request; therefore, the minimum distance
requirements apply.
6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50. (nonwaivable)
The proposed use is required to comply with this requirement as a condition of approval.
7. The minimum distance requirements set forth in Requirement 1, which are otherwise
nonwaivable under the provisions of LVMC 19.12.050(C), may be waived:
a. In accordance with the provisions of LVMC 19.12.050(C) for any establishment
which is proposed to be located on a parcel within the Downtown Casino Overlay

b. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Town Center Development


Standards Manual for any establishment which is proposed to be located within
the T-C (Town Center) Zoning District and which is designated MS-TC (Main
Street Mixed Use) in the Town Center Land Use Plan;
c. In connection with a proposed establishment having between 20,000 square feet
and 50,000 square feet of retail floor space, if no more than 10 percent of the retail
floor space is regularly devoted to the display or merchandising of alcoholic
beverages; or
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.
This requirement does not apply, as no waiver of distance separation is necessary.
8. No beer/wine/cooler off-sale establishment shall be permitted on or adjacent to the
Pedestrian Mall, as defined in LVMC Chapter 11.68.
This requirement does not apply, as the proposed use would not be located on or
adjacent to the Pedestrian Mall.
Variance and Waivers
The Shops A building is located adjacent to the drainage channel located within the Clark
County 215 right-of-way. The C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district requires a 20-foot rear
yard setback; however, 15 feet is being provided, as according to the applicant, moving the
building an additional five feet to the north would eliminate a row of parking that is necessary to
meet parking requirements. A nine-foot sidewalk abuts the building on all sides. Staff does not
support the variance, as there are no physical constraints to the property and this building or
other planned buildings could be reduced or otherwise reconfigured on the site to both retain the
building and meet parking requirements.
Title 19.08.040(B)(6) requires buildings on corner lots to be oriented to the setback lines to form
a street edge. The proposed convenience store is designed to be located away from the corner,
with an open fuel canopy occupying the corner. The applicant requests that a waiver allowing
this design be approved for purposes of maintaining visibility and functionality for the shopping
center tenants and customers. As this is the first development in what is expected to be a large
commercial center on vacant land, it sets a precedent for a similar pattern of future development
along Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way. As there are no extraordinary circumstances with
the land that would preclude the building from being situated at the corner, staff recommends
that the waiver be denied.

The proposed car wash bay faces Deer Springs Way where bay openings are required to be
oriented away from public rights-of-way per Title 19.08.040(B)(4). The applicant has requested
to waive this standard, as the bay opening would face one of the two perimeter streets regardless
of the design, and would not face any residential uses. However, if the convenience store and
wash bay were rotated 90 degrees, the orientation would be less likely to negatively impact
future residential development across from this site, given that Hualapai Way will be improved
to at least 100 feet in width. The layout as currently submitted is not sufficiently screened from
street views, as a five-foot landscape buffer is proposed along Deer Springs Way across from the
wash bay. Staff recommends denial of this waiver.
Perimeter landscape buffer widths are substandard along all sides of the development. The east
perimeter is devoid of landscaping in anticipation of a future commercial development and
shared vehicular access between this site and the parcel to the east, which will be part of the
same commercial subdivision. An eight-foot buffer that narrows down to five feet is proposed to
be provided along the south property line adjacent to the Clark County 215 right-of-way and
intervening drainage channel. The applicant claims that the narrower landscape buffer widths
along portions of Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way where 15 feet is required are justified, as
a detached sidewalk and additional landscaping will be provided in the amenity zones, and
additional right-of-way is requested for a right turn lane. Staff agrees that the landscaping
abutting Clark County 215 is not visible from the freeway and would serve little purpose, and
would support a waiver of the eight-foot buffer requirement; however, the lack of landscaping
along the east property line is the result of a self-created hardship executed through the previous
request for a two-lot subdivision in which the shopping center will have perpetual cross access
between lots, and there is no basis on which staff can recommend approval of a waiver. Along
public rights-of-way, Title 19 requires 15 feet of landscaping in addition to streetscape required
for shading of sidewalks and protection of pedestrians and bicyclists.
Other Issues
Hualapai Way is classified as a Primary Arterial street. Complete Streets Standards require a
five-foot sidewalk and a three-foot amenity zone with trees 45 feet on center. The landscape
plan indicates that a five-foot detached sidewalk and 5.5-foot amenity zone will be provided,
with only five-gallon shrubs to be planted. A condition of approval will require that 24-inch box
shade trees be provided within the amenity zone at least 45 feet on center in conformance with
Complete Streets Standards.
Deer Springs Way is classified as a Major Collector street. Complete Streets Standards require a
five-foot sidewalk and a three-foot amenity zone with trees 40 feet on center. The landscape
plan indicates that a five-foot detached sidewalk and 3.5-foot amenity zone will be provided,
with only five-gallon shrubs planted. A condition of approval will require that 24-inch box
shade trees be provided within the amenity zone at least 40 feet on center in conformance with
Complete Streets Standards.

Additional trees are required within the perimeter landscape buffers. The deficiency is the result
of spacing trees too far apart. Trees must be spaced no further apart than 20 feet along Deer
Springs Way and Hualapai Way and 30 feet in the buffer along the south property line. An
Exception from these standards was not requested; therefore, a condition of approval addresses
this deficiency.
Portions of the parking areas directly face Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way. These rows of
parking must be adequately screened from rights-of-way by a low wall or berm, low hedge or
other screening acceptable to the Department of Planning. The site plan and/or landscape plan
must be revised to indicate how parking will be screened.
Freestanding pylon signs are indicated at the access driveways from the perimeter streets. A
monument sign is also proposed at the corner of Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way. Signs
will be reviewed for conformance to Title 19 standards under separate permit.
The development overall is suitable for this site, as it is located at the corner of two planned
major thoroughfares and backs up to a freeway. However, the building configuration and design
elements are conducive only to automobile and truck traffic and little consideration is given to
other modes of transportation. In addition, this project is projected to strain Hualapai Way
beyond traffic handling capacity. As the first commercial development proposed in this area, the
proposal is not the model for the future pattern of development along these corridors; staff
therefore recommends denial of all applications, with conditions if approved.

FINDINGS (VAR-66443)

in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in order to:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.

No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by situating the proposed Shops A building in such a way
that the other buildings and required parking spaces cannot otherwise be provided to code
standards. Reduction of building size or reconfiguration of the other buildings and parking area
would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. 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.

1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The shopping center use is appropriate for this location; however, the building and parking
configuration and landscaping design do not conform to Title 19 standards, which are
intended to improve aesthetics and provide amenities for other modes of transportation.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed shopping center requires a rear setback variance and waivers of building
placement, car wash bay orientation and perimeter landscape buffer widths, most of which
staff cannot support, as there is no sufficient justification based on the physical
characteristics of the land to warrant these deviations. Parking and uses will be consistent
with the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district and SC (Service Commercial) General
Plan Designation.

features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance; create an
orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are harmonious and compatible
with development in the area;
The proposed building elevations are typical of those for shopping centers in the nearby
Town Center area, with arched walkways, varied rooflines with cornices, and popouts at
storefronts. The outlying pad buildings are compatible with the larger anchor buildings in
terms of architectural style. Overall, the elevations are sensitive to development in the
area, which is primarily residential in character.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The proposed development is subject to permit review and inspection, thereby protecting
the public health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 42-unit condominium development on five acres located on the north side of
Buckskin Avenue, approximately 350 feet west of Cliff Shadows Parkway.

ISSUES

The subject site is located within the Hillside Overlay District.


A Major Modification is being requested to change the Lone Mountain West special land use
designation from L (Low Density Residential) to ML (Medium Low Density Residential).
Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Variance has been requested to allow a four-story, 64-foot tall building where two-stories
and 35 feet is the maximum allowed. Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Variance has been requested to allow a site disturbance of 44 percent on slopes greater
than 25 percent where 35 percent is the maximum disturbance allowed, and to allow a 100
percent site disturbance on slopes between 15 and 25 percent where 50 percent is the
maximum disturbance allowed. Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Site Development Plan Review is being requested for a 42-unit condominium
development. Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Waiver is being requested from the Lone Mountain West development standards in
conjunction with the Site Development Plan Review to allow no perimeter buffer areas along
portions of the east and west property lines where six feet is required. Staff recommends
denial of the request.
A Waiver is being requested from the Lone Mountain West development standards in
conjunction with the Site Development Plan Review to allow 16-foot tall retaining walls
where 3 feet, six inches are the maximum permitted. Staff recommends denial of this
request.
A Multi-Use Equestrian Trail alignment is located along the east property line. Due to the
existing pedestrian facilities along Cliff Shadows Parkway, it has been determined that a tenfoot wide equestrian trail with no pedestrian or amenity areas is adequate for this portion of
the trail alignment. The trail provides adequate connectivity to Buckskin/Cliff Shadows Park
to the south of the subject site.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Hillside Overlay District, which guides development for
sites with vertical slopes greater than 15 percent. The district is intended to encourage and guide
low density, rural type, large lot or cluster, single family residential development that is designed
to be compatible with the hillside terrain and its environment. All development should be
designed to protect and conserve the natural state, while protecting from people and property
from potentially hazardous conditions that are particular to mountain and hillside areas. All
proposed development within the overlay district must obtain approval of a Hillside
Development Design Review prior to the submittal of entitlement applications. The review
consists of grading and drainage plans being submitted to the Department of Public Works to
ensure consistency with the Hillside Overlay requirements. The Hillside Development Design
Review (HIL-66341) for the subject site was approved by staff on September 8, 2016.
The applicant has requested a Major Modification of the Lone Mountain West land use plan
from L (Low Density Residential) to ML (Medium Low Density Residential). The MediumLow Density Residential category provides for the development of up to 12 dwelling units per
gross acre. This land use category allows for higher density detached, single-family product
types including, but not limited to, compact lots and zero lot line, and two story buildings.
While maximum density is established by the underlying master or special area plan designation,
the maximum recommended density within the Hillside Overlay District is two units per acre and
the preferred housing type is large lot, single family detached residential. Higher density
attached products and commercial development are discouraged. The proposed Major
Modification to ML (Medium Low Density Residential) designation allows for a higher density
product that is not consistent with the intent of the overlay district, and as such, staff
recommends denial of the request.
The subject site is located on a parcel that has areas of vertical slope that exceed 15 percent. The
Hillside Overlay sets maximum site disturbance for areas with slopes greater than 15 percent in
order to protect the natural characteristics of the site. For slopes with grades between 15 and 25
percent, up to 50 percent site disturbance is allowed, and for slopes exceeding 25 percent, 35
percent site disturbance is allowed. A site disturbance exhibit was provided and shows site
disturbances that exceed the maximum allowed, and a Variance has been requested to provide
relief from these requirements. The provided exhibit shows a 100 percent site disturbance within
areas between 15 and 25 percent slope, and a 44 percent site disturbance for areas with a slope
exceeding 25 percent. Site disturbances that exceed the maximums allowed are indicative of the
site being overbuilt and being too intense for the Hillside Overlay District. Staff recommends
denial of the Variance request.

The Site Development Plan Review request is for a 42-unit condominium development within
the Lone Mountain West Master Plan area and the Hillside Overlay District. The site receives
access via two gated drives from Buckskin Avenue. The site utilizes both garage and surface
parking to provide 84 spaces. There are two proposed residential buildings and an amenity area
consisting of a pool and spa. The wall details depict a maximum of 16-foot retaining walls along
the northern portion of the developed area where three feet, six inches is the maximum allowed.
Along the east and west property lines, the wall details depict eight-foot retaining walls where
three feet, six inches are the maximum allowed. The applicant has requested a Waiver from the
Lone Mountain West development standards to allow retaining walls up to 16 feet tall and staff
recommends denial of the request.
The retaining walls are stepped back to offset the visual impacts of a sheer wall; however, the
provided wall details do not indicate landscaping for the wall step backs. The Lone Mountain
West development standards defer to Title 19.08 for retaining wall landscape requirements. Title
19.08 requires the installation of five gallon shrubs every 20 feet within the step back. A
condition of approval has been added to ensure compliance with these landscaping requirements.
The landscape plan depicts fairly dense landscape within the developed interior of the site. Trees
utilized include 24-inch box Blue Palo Verdes, Desert Acacia, Desert Willows and Canary Island
Palms with various five and one gallon shrubs. The Canary Island Palms are not on the Lone
Mountain West approved list of the tree species, and a condition of approval has been included
to replace the palms with an approved tree. The parking lot lacks the required landscape island
and 24-inch box tree and an Exception from Title 19.08 has been requested to provide relief from
these requirements. There are 30 uncovered parking spaces and an adequate number of parking
lot trees have been provided adjacent to the parking areas.
The northern portion of the site is being left in its natural state given the steep slope of the
terrain. The south (front) property line has 20 feet of landscape buffer area, which exceeds the
minimum required by Title 19.08; however, the landscape plan shows six trees where nine are
required in this area. A condition of approval has been included to ensure the proper amount of
trees within the front yard buffer area. A Waiver has been requested to allow zero landscape
buffer along portions of the east and west property lines where six feet is required. The proposed
equestrian trail utilizes the space normally occupied by landscaping along the east property line,
and a drive isle abuts the retaining wall along the west property line. As the applicant is
proposing to overbuild the site, staff recommends denial of the Waiver request.
The provided floor plans depict two, three, and four bedroom units typical of a condominium
project. The building elevations depict a four story, 55-foot condominium building with a flat
roof and a stucco-sand finish. The first floor consists of a parking garage with colored concrete
and decorative metal accents, and the upper three floors consist of residential units. The Hillside
Overlay District restricts building height to two stories or 35 feet, and a building height Variance
has been requested to provide relief from this requirement. Staff recommends denial of the
request.

November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

A Multi-Use Equestrian Trail alignment extends south from Cliff Shadow Parkway, through a
portion of the adjacent parcel to the east, and runs south along the eastern property line of the
subject site. When adjacent to a roadway, a Multi-Use Equestrian Trail typically consists of a
30-foot cross section including a 10-foot pedestrian path, a five foot landscaped amenity zone, a
10-foot equestrian path, and a second five-foot landscaped amenity zone back of curb. The 2020
Master Plan Trails Element permits the Director of Planning allow an exemption from trail
standards if there are technical or physical barriers that produce an undue hardship on the entity
developing the trail. It has been determined that that an exemption of standards is warranted to
allow a 10-foot equestrian trail without the required pedestrian or amenity zones because of the
unique location of the alignment away from the public right-of-way, and the fact that there are
adequate pedestrian facilities on Cliff Shadows Parkway. A 10-foot trail is adequate to allow
equestrian access through the subject site while still providing connectivity between Buckskin
Park to the south and other horse facilities to the north.
In general, the proposed development does not meet the intent of the Hillside Overlay District or
the Lone Mountain West Master Plan area. Development within the overlay district is intended
to blend in with the natural environment with minimal grade and site disturbances. The
structures are to be situated in a manner that fit into the hillsides contour and relate to the form
of the terrain. Detached residential is the preferred housing type and densities greater than two
units per acre are discouraged. In contrast, the proposed development is a multi-family
residential product, exceeds site disturbance maximums outlined in Title 19.10, is designed with
little consideration of the existing terrain, and concentrates the majority of the development into
a small portion of the site instead of incorporating innovative design to utilize the hillside. View
corridors for the proposed development will generally consist of walls and other manmade
features with limited visibility of the surrounding natural area due to the low elevation of the
buildings. As the proposed development requires a number of Variances and Waivers, and does
not meet the intent of the Hillside Overlay District, staff recommends denial of the request.

FINDINGS (MOD-66820)
The applicant has requested a Major Modification to the Lone Mountain West land use plan from
L (Low Density Residential) to ML (Medium Low Density Residential). The Medium-Low
Density Residential category provides for the development of up to 12 dwelling units per gross
acre. While maximum density is established by the underlying master or special area plan
designation, the maximum recommended density within the Hillside Overlay District is two units
per acre and the preferred housing type is large lot, single family detached residential. Higher
density attached products and commercial development are discouraged. The proposed Major
Modification to ML (Medium Low Density Residential) designation allows for a higher density
product that is not consistent with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District, and as such, staff
recommends denial of the request.

FINDINGS (VAR-66821)
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:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by overbuilding the site by proposing a building height in
excess of Title 19.10 requirements and disturbing the areas with slopes greater than 15 percent in
excess of the maximum percentage allowed. Alternative design would allow conformance to the
Title 19 requirements. 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.

FINDINGS (SDR-66761)
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:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent office development and
undeveloped parcels, but it does not meet the intent of the Hillside Overlay District.
Consequently, staff is recommending denial of the Site Development Plan Review.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposal is not consistent with the Hillside Overlay District and the Lone Mountain
West development standards as evidenced by the requested Waivers and Variance
applications. Consequently, staff is recommending denial of the Site Development Plan
Review.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
The site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and aesthetic


features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance; create an
orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are harmonious and compatible
with development in the area;
The building elevations are not unsightly in appearance; however, the building height
exceeds the maximum allowed within the Hillside Overlay District and therefore it is not
harmonious or compatible with development in the area.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
Development will be subject to building code requirements, permits and inspections,
thereby protecting the public health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow 11 parking spaces where 22 parking spaces are required
and a Site Development Plan Review for a proposed 6,604 square-foot Building Maintenance
Service and Sales on a vacant property located at 3808 Melody Lane.

ISSUES

A Variance is required to allow 11 parking spaces where 22 are required. Staff does not
support this request.
Waivers are required to allow the landscape buffers at zero feet along a portion of the north
and the west property lines; and to allow a 10-foot along the east property line. Staff does
not support these requests.
An Exception is required to allow 12 landscape perimeter buffer trees where a total of 19
trees are required. Staff does not support this request.
An Exception is required to allow no parking lot trees and islands where one tree and island
are required for every six parking spaces. Staff does not support this request.

ANALYSIS
The proposed development is subject to Title 19 requirements for zoning and design and is not
part of any special plan area. The site falls within the 70-foot radius of the Airport Overlay
District and the height of the proposed structure is well within the height limitation. The
proposed development is subject to the requirements of the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning
district.
The proposed 6,604 square-foot building contains three multi-tenant suites intended for a
Building Maintenance Service and Sales use. The proposed development does not meet Title
19.08.080, Landscape Buffers, and the applicant is requesting Waivers to allow zero feet along a
portion of the perimeter landscape buffers along the north and west property lines where eight
feet is required; and a Waiver to allow 10 feet along the east property lines where 15 feet is
required. In addition, the applicant is requesting exceptions of the quantity of the landscape
materials and the Parking Lot Island and tree requirements withinthe perimeter landscape buffers
provided, the number of threes required has been limited to 12 trees where 19 trees are required
for the overall development. The shrubs provided are adequate in quantities for the provide trees
for the site. The primary tree species being utilized are 24 box Shoestring Acacia, 24 box
Mondel Pine and 24 box Chilean Mesquite.

The faade of the building utilizes Concrete Masonry Unit or CMU on all sides. Two types of
CMU for the building faade material that are split face CMU and fluted split CMU in chocolate
and tan colors respectively. The buildings front entrances incorporate aluminum storefront with
dark bronze frame with clear glazing and metal roofing with colonial red color. In addition, each
of the front entrances has a metal roll-up overhead door in desert tan color. The secondary doors
located on the north side of the building consist of a steel door with dark bronze color.
The subject property has a lot width of approximately 97 feet; C-2 (General Commercial)
standards require a minimum width of 100 feet. The subject property has been zoned C-2 and
pursuant to Title 19.14 is identified as a legal nonconforming property.
The applicant is requesting a Variance for the required parking. The proposed 6,604 square-foot
Building Maintenance Service and Sales Building requires 22 parking spaces; however, only 11
spaces are provided. The proposed a site has insufficient parking with a 50% deviation from
standard parking requirements. Staff does not support this request.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) has provided comment for this parcel and is
located within the LVVWD service area, but is not served by LVVWD. It is served by the
Eastland Water Association, a quasi-municipal well.
The Department of Public Works has provided the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts, for this
development will have 282 cars per day on Melody Lane, Primrose Path and Rancho Drive.
Rancho Drive is at 95 percent of capacity. With this development, Rancho Drive is expected to
be at about 96 percent of capacity. However, volumes are not available for Melody Lane and
Primrose Path, but they are believed to be under capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, this
development will add into the area roughly 25 additional cars, or about one every two minutes.
The proposed development does not meet all Title 19 requirements. The proposed development
does not meet the minimum parking requirements and a Variance application is required in
addition to the Site Development Plan Review. A Waiver of the perimeter landscape buffers is
also required. The subject location can be utilized with a smaller building to meet the parking
requirement, staff has determined that the proposed Variance is self-imposed; therefore, staff
recommends denial and the Site Development Plan Review applications. If these requests are
approved, it is subject to conditions.

FINDINGS (VAR-66657)
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:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Staff Report Page Three
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing a 6,604 square-foot Building Maintenance
Service and Sales Building. The proposed building would create a site with insufficient parking
and resulted in a 50% deviation from standard parking requirements. A smaller building size
would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. 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.

FINDINGS (SDR-66658)
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:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed development of the subject site is not consistent with surrounding
development in the area. The applicant proposes 6,604 square-foot building for a proposed
Building Maintenance Service and Sales Building use. The proposed use would create a

November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a proposed home addition that will result in a
three-foot side yard setback where five feet is the minimum required in the R-1 (Single Family
Residential) zoning district at 4609 Del Monte Avenue.

ISSUES

The R-1 zoning district requires principal buildings to have a minimum side yard setback of
five feet. The applicant is proposing a three-foot side yard setback for a proposed home
addition.

ANALYSIS
Per the submitted site plan, the addition will be used for a second kitchen and utility room.
According to Title 19, an auxiliary kitchen is permissible and defined as a second kitchen in a
single family detached dwelling that is:
1. Intended solely for use by members of the household for private dinner parties or social
gatherings; and
2. Not located within an accessory structure and is directly accessible from the rest of the
dwelling.
The proposed home addition will meet these requirements, as the owner has stated that the
second kitchen will be kosher and used for holidays and family gatherings. The submitted floor
plan also shows that the proposed second kitchen will be directly accessible from the rest of the
principal dwelling. The subject site is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential), which requires a
five-foot side yard setback. The applicant is requesting a side yard setback of three feet for the
proposed home addition. The R-1 zoning district also allows a maximum lot coverage of 50
percent. With the proposed 311 square-foot addition, the total coverage will be 30 percent.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of the
request. If approved, the applicant will be able to construct its home addition with a three-foot
side yard setback.

FINDINGS (VAR-66689)
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:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to construct an addition that does not meet the
R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district standards. Reconfiguring the placement of the
proposed home addition would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. 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.

VAR-66733 [PRJ-66589]
Staff Report Page One
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow two existing non-aesthetically compatible
accessory structures (Class II) [sheds] with a zero-foot rear and side yard setback where three
feet is the minimum required in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district at 1801
Cochran Street.

ISSUES

The R-1 zoning district requires accessory structures to have a minimum rear and side yard
setback of three feet. The applicant is proposing a zero-foot rear and side yard setback for
two existing sheds.
Title 19.06 requires accessory structures be aesthetically compatible with the principal
dwelling unit. The applicant is self-imposing a condition to paint the structures to match.

ANALYSIS
The subject sheds are located in the southwest corner of the subject property. Title 19.06 requires
that accessory structures be aesthetically compatible with the principal dwelling unit. The
existing untreated wood sheds are not compatible with the tan-colored single family dwelling at
the subject site. Per the submitted justification letter, the applicant has proposed to paint the
accessory structures in order to meet this requirement. If approved, a condition of approval has
been added to address this issue. No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the
requested Variance. The existing accessory structures can be redesigned or relocated to meet
current code requirements. As such, the hardship is self-imposed and staff recommends denial.
FINDINGS (VAR-66733)
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:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


CS

VAR-66733 [PRJ-66589]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of


property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by constructing structures that do not meet the R-1 (Single
Family Residential) zoning district standards. Removal or modification of the structures would
allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. 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
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc.
A Code Enforcement citation (#161841) was issued for two sheds that dont
meet the required setbacks and for trees in the front yard with thorns that
12/22/15

unresolved.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a proposed 590 square-foot Accessory Structure
(Class II) [Shed] to be within five feet of the rear and side property lines where 10 feet is
required on a property located at 6205 Newkirk Court.

ISSUES

The request for Variance is to allow the proposed shed five feet from the side and rear
property line where 10 feet is required in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district.
Relocating the structure to 10 feet from side and rear property line is achievable and no
evidence of unique circumstances has been presented. Staff recommends denial.

ANALYSIS
The property is located in an R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district and is subject to the
requirements of Title 19.06 standards. The subject property contains a single family residence
and is located within the Rural Preservation Overlay District. The proposed accessory structure
will not have an impact on the Rural Preservation Overlay District.
The proposed accessory structure will be located at the northwest corner of the subject property
with a side and rear yard setback of five feet from the west and north property lines. The
distance between the principal structure and the accessory structure is greater than six feet as
required by code. The proposed structure will serve as an extra storage space for the subject
property. The proposed accessory structures exterior will be stucco and the color will match the
primary dwelling.
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow the proposed Accessory Structure (Class II)
[Shed] to be five feet from the side and rear property line. Pursuant to Title 19.06; in an R-E
Zoning District, the accessory structure placement must be at 10 feet from the property line. The
subject property is not an irregularly shaped lot and has sufficient space to accommodate an
accessory structure that can meet Title 19 requirements. Unique or extraordinary circumstances
has not been presented with this Variance request, therefore, staff recommends denial of this
request. If this application is approved, it is subject to conditions.

November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (VAR-66818)
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:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing an accessory structure within the required side
and rear yard setbacks. The subject property is not an irregular shaped lot and has sufficient
space to accommodate an accessory structure that can meet Title 19 requirements. 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.

November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Waiver from Title 19.02.240 to allow no street lights on public
streets for a proposed residential subdivision at the southeast corner of Juliano Road and Hickam
Avenue.

ISSUES

A Waiver is being requested to allow no streetlights along Hickam Avenue and Juliano
Road. Staff recommends denial of the request.
The City Council approved a Variance (VAR-47840) to allow no streetlights in 2013;
however, this entitlement is expired.

ANALYSIS
The request is for a Waiver of Title 19.02 to allow no streetlights along Hickam Avenue and
Juliano Road. The stated justification for this request is that the area is rural in nature, and that
the area residents do not wish to have streetlights installed. Both Hickam Avenue and Juliano
Road are 60-foot collector streets. The City Council approved a Variance (VAR-47840) to allow
no streetlights in 2013; however, this entitlement has since expired. In 2013, a four-lot Parcel
Map (PMP-48778) was conditionally approved for the subject site, but it has not been recorded
as of October 2016.
When a site is developed in the City of Las Vegas, it is customary to require the installation of all
incomplete or damaged improvements surrounding the site so they match what exists in the
surrounding area. Although streetlights are not customary in this area, the City is currently
working on building complete streets throughout the City to provide for pedestrian safety and
comfort. No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waivers of Title
19.02.240 and Staff recommends denial of the request.

FINDINGS (WVR-66692)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waivers of Title 19.02.240
and to allow no external streetlights where such are required. Staff recommends denial of the
request.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to waive the Title 19.02 requirement for streetlights on Alpine Ridge
Way and on the interior public streets of a proposed single-family residential development
located at the northwest corner of Centennial Parkway and Alpine Ridge Way.

ISSUES

Title 19.02.240 requires street lighting for public streets to be designed, installed or upgraded
in accordance with City standards unless the City Council allows an exception. The
applicant is requesting that this requirement be waived for Alpine Ridge Way and the interior
public streets of the proposed development. If approved, the Department of Public Works
will require that streetlights be stubbed out for future use.

ANALYSIS
According to the applicant, the Waiver request is in response to neighbors in the surrounding
area who wish to retain a rural character. The required streetlights along Alpine Ridge Way and
the public streets on the interior of the proposed development are included in the request.
Streetlights are planned to be installed on Centennial Parkway, which is classified as a Primary
Arterial by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. Streetlights are required to be installed
along all streets for the safety of City residents. No substantial evidence has been presented to
warrant the requested waiver of Title 19.02.240. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the
request. If denied, streetlights must be provided on all adjacent public streets and the interior
public streets. If approved, the Department of Public Works will require by condition that
streetlights be stubbed out for future use.

FINDINGS (WVR-67096)
Streetlights play a vital public safety role for public streets. The Department of Public Works
finds that streetlights are therefore necessary along Alpine Ridge Way and on the interior of this
development, and that no substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested
waiver. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the waiver request.

Pre-Application Meeting
In lieu of a pre-application meeting, a list of submittal requirements was e10/04/16
mailed to the applicant.

Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting was held at the Centennial Hills YMCA/Community
Center at 6601 North Buffalo Drive in Las Vegas. There were nine members
of the public, three members of the development team, one City Council
Ward staff member and one Department of Planning staff member in
attendance.

09/21/16

The applicants representative described the proposed project, which would


consist of two-story homes on public streets north of Centennial Parkway.
Floor plans would be up to 3,600 square feet and have patios and balconies.
Those in attendance were very concerned about proposed increases in density
south and east of Clark County 215 in general and were not in support of this
project at 4.8 dwelling units per acre. They would support development at the
allowed density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre. Neighbors were also strongly
opposed to internal streetlights and streetlights along Alpine Ridge Way. The
applicants representative stated he would bring these concerns to the owner,
which may result in a reduction of lots being brought forward.
Other concerns included the following:
City should consider developing rural residential development
standards
Concern that a quality home product could not be provided on smaller
lots

Field Check
09/01/16

The site is undeveloped and contains natural vegetation. An unpaved access


road borders the site to the east. An existing Wireless Communication
Facility complex is located directly to the west of the site.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit and Site Development Plan Review for a proposed
2,148 square-foot Restaurant with a Drive-Through at 1311 South Main Street.

ISSUES

A Special Use Permit is required for the proposed Drive-Through as the use does not meet
screening requirements listed in Conditional use Regulation #2 listed in Title 19.12.
A Waiver of the Downtown Centennial Plan parking lot screening standards is hereby
requested, to allow no parking lot screening fence. Staff recommends approval of the request.

ANALYSIS
This project is located in the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan Downtown South District
and proposes to construct a Drive-Through use, which will operate in conjunction with a
Restaurant (coffee shop) totaling 2,148 square feet on the interior with a 170 square-foot outdoor
patio adjacent to Main Street and a 1,560 square-foot outdoor patio in the rear of the building.
The subject site has a zoning designation of C-M (Commercial/Industrial), which allows the
proposed Restaurant as a permitted use and the Drive-Through as a conditional land use.
Drive Through Conditional Use Regulations:
1. A single-station drive-through shall have a stacking lane that will accommodate a minimum of
six vehicles, including the vehicle at the station. A multiple-station drive-through shall have
stacking lanes that will accommodate a minimum of three vehicles per station, including the
vehicle at that station.
The submitted site plan indicates that the proposed single-station drive-through will provide a
stacking lane which will accommodate six vehicles.
2. The drive-through shall be screened in accordance with LVMC 19.08.040(F).
The submitted landscaping plan indicates that the proposed development will not provide
landscape buffer screening that complies with Title 19.08.040(F) requirements, which require a
landscape buffer with 24-inch box trees spaced every 20 feet with four shrubs along the north
and east perimeter of the proposed drive through; therefore, a Special Use Permit is required.

Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Per the Downtown Centennial Plan threshold requirements the new proposed Drive-Through
qualifies a new development on-site which meets the definition of a Major Site Development
Plan Review, with a covenant signed for all future streetscape and civil improvements because of
the partial block frontage.
The subject site is currently developed with a 7,640 square-foot commercial building. The
applicant has proposed to utilize 2,148 square feet of interior space located on the northern
perimeter of the building for the proposed restaurant and Drive-Through. The submitted building
elevations indicate that the existing building height and dimensions will remain unchanged. The
applicant has proposed faade improvements through conceptual renderings, which will be
addressed at a later date through building permit review.
The floor plan shows a typical layout for a Restaurant with Drive-Through. Dining room seating
is depicted for 73 patrons. The outdoor patio adjacent to Main Street provides an additional 16
seats, with 48 additional seats provided in the rear outdoor patio area. The service area shows
reasonable queuing area in front of the counter, as well as a drive-through service area, ADA
accessible restrooms and food preparation area.
The applicant has provided a two-foot landscape buffer with five-gallon Texas Ranger shrubs
along both sides of the proposed Drive-Through on the east perimeter of the subject site adjacent
to the alleyway. This landscape buffer expands to approximately eight feet along a portion of the
northeastern perimeter of the drive through, then discontinues along the northern perimeter of the
Drive-Through, providing insufficient screening of the use and therefore requiring a Special Use
Permit.
This parcel is currently served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) but does not
have the required backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will
need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing, fire flow availability and backflow
retrofit. It should be noted that the meter serving this parcel is located on Imperial Avenue and
the above-ground backflow prevention assembly will be within the right-of-way unless the
service is relocated to the parcel. There is currently no water main located within Main Street to
serve the parcel directly.
The subject site is currently accessed by Main Street, which is classified as a Primary Arterial
street by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways and the alleyway located to the east of the
subject site. The applicant has requested Waivers of the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan
permanent parking lot screening standards to allow no parking lot screening fence where such is
required. Staff has determined the requested Waiver will have minimal negative impact to
development surrounding area, as the subject site is located adjacent to a parking lot to the north
and an alleyway to the east and is appropriate for this area of the Downtown Centennial Plan;
therefore, staff recommends approval of this project with conditions.

FINDINGS (SUP-66544)
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:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land
uses as projected by the General Plan.
The subject tenant space was previously approved to operate as a general retail use. The
proposed Restaurant with Drive-Through 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.
The subject site currently developed with an existing 7,640 square-foot commercial
building that is physically suitable for the intensity of the proposed land use.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
Access to the site will not change. Vehicles may enter the property from Main Street, a
100-foot Primary Arterial or the adjacent alleyway to the east of the subject 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 this Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health safety and
general welfare of the public. The use will be subject to regular inspections and is subject
to licensing restrictions. Staff has added a condition of approval to Special Use Permit
(SUP-66544) for a Required Review (public hearing) one year after the final date of
approval.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
A Special Use Permit is required for the proposed Drive-Through as the use does not meet
screening requirements listed in Conditional Use Regulation #2 listed in Title 19.12.

Residence. In addition, the applicant has proposed to consolidate the adjacent undeveloped lot
located to the north at 130 North 11th Street into the subject site. This additional area will be
incorporated into the subject site to accommodate a proposed 16-unit Trailer/RV Camp or Park
use on-site.
A Single Room Occupancy Residence is described in Title 19.12 as: A residential facility in
which furnished rooms are rented on a weekly or monthly basis and which provides common
facilities and services for laundry, cleaning and meals. According to the submitted justification
letter and floor plan, the proposed use meets the definition outlined above. There are no
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use. This use is permitted in the C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district with an approved Special Use Permit.
A Trailer/RV Camp or Park is described in Title 19.12 as: Any lot or tract of land used, or
intended to be used, for the renting of space to accommodate two or more recreational vehicles.
Minimum Special Use Requirements:
1. The maximum density permitted in a recreational vehicle park is 20 recreational vehicle sites
per acre.
The subject site is approximately 1.30 acres in size. The applicant has proposed 16 recreational
vehicle sites for the subject location, which is below the maximum of 20 recreational vehicle site
per acre.
2. Recreational vehicle parks shall have a minimum frontage of 100 feet at the building setback
line.
The proposed recreational vehicle site will occur on the northern portion of the subject site

nine recreational vehicle sites are located 4-feet from 11th Street.
4. Vehicular spacing:
a. Pull-through recreational vehicle sites shall maintain 15 feet between vehicle parking on
adjoining sites.

b. Back-in recreational vehicle sites shall maintain 10 feet between vehicles, to include
automobiles parking in adjoining sites.
The applicant has requested a Waiver of this condition, to allow a six-foot separation between
back-in recreational vehicles where 10 feet is required.
5. Recreational vehicle sites shall be set back 20 feet from any building.
All proposed recreational vehicle sites maintain a minimum distance of 20 feet from all existing

the 18,541 square-foot area where the Trailer/RV Camp or Park use will be located.
* 7. All access drives shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide and must first be approved by the City
Traffic Engineer.
The applicant has proposed to provide a 20-foot access aisle into the proposed Trailer/RV Camp
or Park use from the adjacent alleyway located to the west of the site, which meets the 20-foot
minimum aisle width that is required.
The subject site was previously approved via Site Development Plan Review (SDR-49548) with
no parking for the proposed businesses on-site. As amended by this request the proposed uses
onsite are projected to require 128 parking spaces based on the Citys normal parking
requirements for such proposed uses. The project is located in the Downtown Centennial Plan
area and is not automatically subjected to these standards. The applicant previously indicated via
Site Development Plan Review (SDR-49548) that the subject site is located along a major mass
transit route, the availability of private parking lots in the area and parking provided along the
local streets will be adequate to meet the needs of the project. It is anticipated that most of the
patrons will be local downtown residents and tourists who will walk to the project.
Parcel 139-35-201-004 is currently served by Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) but
the services 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. Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) Regional
Connection fees will be due for the additional units and proof of parcel lot consolidation will be
due prior to civil plan approval by LVVWD.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit with a waiver to allow a Short-Term Residential Rental
use at 1612 South 6th Street. The subject site is located within 241 feet of a similar use where
660 feet is the minimum distance separation required.

ISSUES

A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. However, since the subject site is located within 241
feet of a similar use, a Special Use Permit and distance separation waiver are required.
Staff recommends denial of this request as the applicant cannot meet Title 19 requirements.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to utilize their single family dwelling as a Short-Term Residential use
at 1612 South 6th Street. While the use is allowed as a Conditional Use in the R-1 (Single
Family Residential) zoning district, a Special Use Permit and waiver are required since the
subject site is located within 241 feet of a similar use. The subject site is also located within the
John S. Park Historic Neighborhood Special Area. The proposed Short-Term Residential use is
not compatible with the neighborhood goal of preventing properties currently zoned for singlefamily residential use from being converted to commercial use.
The Short-Term Residential Rental use is defined as The commercial use, or the making
available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging or sleeping
purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a period of less than 31
consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a Community Residence, Facility for
Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any other facility with dwelling units that is
specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. The proposed use meets this definition as the applicant
intends to rent out their single-family dwelling for short-term use.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
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.
CS

SUP-66806 [PRJ-66759]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing and regulatory
requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes and licensing fees.
If a business license is issued for the Short-Term Residential Rental use, it will be subject
to license renewal and annual compliance review to ensure that all regulatory
requirements are being met.
3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential uses.
If this use violates the Citys noise regulations, neighbors or members of the public can
file a complaint to the Code Enforcement Division, which could result in a fine.
4. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable parking regulations,
and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or access to other properties
in the area.
If the parking regulations are violated or any traffic obstruction to other properties, the
public can either call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department or the Business
License Division for non-compliance of business license requirements.
5. In addition to and independent of any enforcement authority or remedy described in this
Title, the failure to comply with a Minimum Special Use Permit Requirement or other
condition of approval associated with this use may be enforced as in the case of a
violation of Title 6 by means of a civil proceeding pursuant to LVMC 6.02.400 to
6.02.460, inclusive.
If approved, this application will be subject to annual review for compliance of the
special use permit by the Department of Planning.
6. The use may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other Short-Term Residential
Rental use (measured from property line to property line).
The subject property is within 241 feet from another Short-Term Residential Rental use.
This Special Use Permit application is accompanied with a request for a waiver of the
distance separation.
7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the limits
provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.

CS

SUP-66806 [PRJ-66759]
Staff Report Page Three
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Business License will conduct compliance inspections once a business license is


approved for compliance review.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will not be compatible with the surrounding
residential uses due to the existing similar use that is currently licensed within 241 feet from the
proposed subject property. The minimum special use permit requirements specify that the
distance to similar uses shall be at 660 feet; therefore, staff recommends denial. If this
application is approved, it is subject to conditions.

FINDINGS (SUP-66806)
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:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land
uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the waiver request of 241-foot
distance separation from similar uses.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The subject site is not physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed
due to the similar uses within 241 feet.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The subject site can be accessed from South 6th Street, a local street.

4.

Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be inconsistent with
or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or the overall objectives of the
General Plan.
Approval of the Special Use Permit on this site will be subject to conditions of approval
and business license compliance

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed 1,350 square-foot Massage
Establishment at 6340 West Sahara Avenue.

ISSUES

Per Title 19.12, a Massage Establishment use is permissible in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Waiver is required to allow a distance separation of 80 feet from a residential use where
400 feet is the minimum distance required. Staff recommends denial of the request.

ANALYSIS
The subject tenant space is located within an existing 54,395 square-foot shopping center. The
Massage Establishment use is defined by Title 19.18 as: A facility which is occupied and used
for the purpose of practicing massage therapy as defined in LVMC Chapter 6.52. This use does
not include the use accessory massage, as defined in this Title.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The use shall comply with all applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as a condition of approval has been added
requiring compliance with all applicable LVMC Title 6 requirements.
2. The use must be located on a secondary thoroughfare or larger.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject site is located along Torrey
Pines Drive, an 80-foot Major Collector and Sahara Avenue, a 100-foot wide Primary
Arterial as indicated on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways
3. The use may not be located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship, school, City
park, individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or any parcel zoned for
residential use.
JB

SUP-66838 [PRJ-66634]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as there is a residentially zoned
property within 400 feet of the subject site to the west. The applicant is requesting a
Waiver to address the issue. Specifically, the applicant is requesting a Waiver to allow a
distance separation of 80 feet from a residential use where 400 feet is the minimum
distance required.
5. The use may not be located within 1,000 feet of any other massage establishment.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no other massage establishments
located within 1,000 feet of the subject property.
6. The hours of operation shall be limited to the period between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.,
unless further limited by the City Council on a case-by-case basis.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant indicates in the submitted
justification letter, date stamped 09/19/16, that the hours of operation would be 11:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The proposed use would be located within an established shopping center with retail and general
office uses. Other than the minimum use requirements in Title 19.12, there are no special
development requirements pertaining to this site. At this time there are no other similar uses
within the commercial development. However, the subject location is not compatible for the
intensity of the proposed use, due to the proximity of the subject site to the existing residentially
zoned property to the west; therefore, staff recommends denial of this request.

FINDINGS (SUP-66838)
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:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land
uses as projected by the General Plan.
The applicant has proposed to establish an eye lash and foot spa within the subject tenant
which is located within an existing shopping center along with other similar and
compatible uses. However, the applicant is requesting a waiver of minimum distance
separation requirements from existing residentially zoned properties. As a result, the use
cannot operate harmoniously with those protected land uses located in such close
proximity to the subject site.

JB

SUP-66838 [PRJ-66634]
Staff Report Page Three
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The site contains an existing 54,395 square-foot shopping center with other retail and
general office uses. This site contains adequate parking for all uses, and the proposed use
does not generate the need for any additional parking spaces.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The proposed Massage Establishment can be accessed from Torrey Pines Drive, a 80-foot
Major Collector and Sahara Avenue, a 100-foot Primary Arterial as indicated on the
Master Plan of Streets and Highways that has adequate capacity to serve the existing
development.

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 Massage Establishment use will be subject to regular City and County
inspections for licensing and will therefore not compromise the public health, safety, and
general welfare or any objective of the General Plan.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Massage Establishment does not adhere to minimum distance separation
requirements. The applicant is requesting a waiver of minimum distance separation
requirements from an existing residentially zoned property. As a result, the use cannot
operate harmoniously with those protected land uses located in such close proximity to the
subject site.

Staff Report Page One
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting several changes to the existing Master Sign Plan for the World
Market Center development to coincide with upcoming trade show events. The changes are
summarized as follows:
Building A (495 South Grand Central Parkway): add two large wall signs to the north
elevation;
Building B (475 South Grand Central Parkway): move two previously approved large
LED wall signs (Signs F and K) from the south and west elevations to the southwest
corner of the building to create a wraparound display visible from Interstate 15; and
Parking Garage (445 South Grand Central Parkway): add five large wall signs to the east
elevation and add one large wall sign to the north elevation.

ISSUES

A Major Amendment of an approved Master Sign Plan (MSP-6344) is required, as new large
wall signs requiring waivers of the Parkway Center Standards are requested.
The nearest single-family dwellings are located 1,320 feet to the northwest and 2,005 feet to
the southeast. These measurements are taken from the nearest approved or proposed sign.
Conditions of approval applicable to LED-illuminated large wall signs are imposed in order
to protect adjacent properties from potential nuisances and hazards.
Staff will require as a condition of approval an integrated Master Sign Plan that incorporates
all previous sign approvals.

ANALYSIS
Development within this site is subject to the Parkway Center Standards contained within the
Downtown Centennial Plan. It is noted that the placeholders for large wall signs on the
various building faces at the World Market Center were approved per Parkway Center Standards
prior to approval of the supergraphic sign ordinance; therefore, waivers were required to exceed
maximum area and height restrictions. The same waivers of the Parkway Center Standards are
required for the eight new large wall signs proposed as part of this amendment.
This is the seventh amendment to the Master Sign Plan (MSP-6399), originally approved in
2005. The applicant has been using temporary sign permits to enable the installation of large
wall signs on the parking garage. The current request would allow for these signs on a
permanent basis, where the on-premise content would change from trade show to trade show.
Typically, the signs are installed approximately two weeks before a trade show begins and are
SS

MSP-66826 [PRJ-66783]
Staff Report Page Two
November 1, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

removed one week following a trade show. The number of allowable signs on the east elevation
of the garage would double from five to ten. These signs would be made of SuperPrint and
UltraMesh banner material, although as in previous Master Sign Plan approvals the option of
using LED illumination is requested. The entitled (not currently installed) Signs F and K on
Building B would decrease in size from 18,000 square feet and 14,400 feet to 8,400 square feet
each and move to the corner of their respective facades to create an LED-illuminated corner
display. Images on these signs would remain independent of each other. Sign J on the north
elevation of Building A would be replaced by two building wrap signs, increasing sign area from
7,950 square feet to 38,858 square feet.
The Parkway Center Standards are silent with regard to sign illumination and defer to Title 19.
Per Title 19.08.120, electronic message units, animated signs and flashing signs are prohibited
within 200 feet of property planned or zoned for residential use unless the design of the sign or
its location and orientation ensure that the electronic message unit, animated or flashing portion
of the sign, or any other light from the sign will not be visible from the property planned or
zoned for residential use. The nearest property zoned for residential use is located 1,320 feet to
the northwest of the west facades of Buildings A and B. There are intervening buildings and a
freeway (Interstate 15) between the existing single-family dwellings and the World Market
Center buildings, although unobstructed views are possible. Another single-family dwelling is
located 2,005 feet to the southeast of the east faade of Building B; however, this property is
zoned C-M (Commercial/Industrial).
The new wall signs proposed on the garage elevations would face Symphony Park, the Smith
Center and a large surface parking lot. These signs match the size and design of the previously
approved garage signs, are appropriate for the scale of the building and are compatible with the
surrounding land uses. As with the previous approvals, these signs may be illuminated but must
remain sensitive to surrounding development. Movement of the two illuminated signs on
Building B to join at the southwest corner will actually create a less intense visual, as the signs
are reduced in size and will appear as a single wraparound sign. The two signs on the north
faade also would be visible from Symphony Park. They are appropriate for the scale of the
building and consistent with the previous sign approvals.
No new off-premise signage is permitted within the Parkway Center District, pursuant to
Subsection VII.E.6d of the Downtown Centennial Plan. Only products that are being offered
onsite may be advertised while the signs are visible. In addition, the signs illumination should
be such that neighboring properties are not negatively affected. As with previous approvals,
conditions have been added for protection of these properties.

FINDINGS (MSP-66826)
The proposed changes to the Master Sign Plan match the size and design of the previously
approved signs. These signs are appropriate for the scale of the buildings and are compatible
with the surrounding land uses. Staff therefore recommends approval, subject to conditions.
